Chapter 1998: It’s not about alms, it’s about getting married
The two little guys are very good at eating, especially the younger sister, who is like a little pig. The milk from a wet nurse is not enough for her alone.
Not only can she eat, but her younger sister is also very domineering. When the nanny is breastfeeding, she can only feed her. She has to eat one, and her little hands have to occupy one. As long as her brother comes to eat, she will stretch her arms and kick her legs. She can't squeeze him out, and she will cry.
She has to breastfeed every two hours or so, at least eight times a day. Whenever she wants to eat, she will cry at the top of her lungs if she doesn't get it into her mouth right away. She will bite hard on purpose if the breastfeed is late.
As for my brother, well, he is indeed naive. He is greedy and sleepy and loves to laugh. He can laugh in his sleep, and he will only grin when his sister kicks him.
In addition to being able to eat, the two little guys can also toss, eat, sleep, poop and pee. They need to change diapers at least ten times a day.
My brother is okay, he has a strong skin, and except for crying when he is hungry, he can accept everything else. He doesn't cry when he pees or has a bowel movement.
My sister is no good. She is very delicate. She has to change her diaper once she urinates. She cries if she doesn't change it. She also likes to be held in someone's arms when sleeping. She wakes up and cries as soon as she puts her down. She also likes to be patted after feeding.
Hi, I need to wash my butt before going to bed at night.
Fortunately, Rich Man Li recruited four wet nurses. These four wet nurses not only nursed the baby, but also took care of the little one on a daily basis. The four experienced wet nurses freed Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu, the new parents.
Because she had four wet nurses, and in order to maintain her figure and recover after childbirth, Li Shu did not nurse the baby herself. This was also a common choice among wealthy families in this era.
First of all, feeding the baby is really tiring. I breastfeed eight times a day, eat four or five times during the day, and have two or three night feedings at night. I also have to change the baby’s diapers more than ten times a day. It’s so tiring.
Rich people can't afford to be so tired.
Rich families are not short of money, and the cost of hiring a wet nurse is just a drop in the bucket for them.
Secondly, not breastfeeding your child yourself will help you maintain your figure and help you recover faster after childbirth.
Also, in a wealthy family, status is important, so it would be inappropriate for a young lady to take off her clothes and take care of her baby from time to time.
In addition, a wealthy family has a lot of things to do in the back house. The housewife has to take care of the house and does not have much energy to take care of the baby.
Don't worry about the relationship between mother and child. Just because you don't breastfeed the baby yourself doesn't mean you don't care about the baby. Once the wet nurse has fed the baby, she can hold it over and play with it. You can still cultivate feelings and grow up with the baby.
The parent-child relationship is equally close.
"Brother Zhu, come and see how soundly they sleep. They are still laughing in their sleep."
Li Shu and Zhu Pingan were lying on the big bed, looking at the two little guys sleeping with curiosity. Li Shu grinned from time to time when she saw the elder sleeping, and couldn't help but pull Zhu Pingan to admire it as if she had discovered a new world.
"Gee, the young master must be satisfied with the young lady and the master. He is secretly enjoying himself in his dreams."
Hua'er and Qin'er giggled at the side.
"They all know how to reincarnate, and they don't have to worry about food or drink. My mother is a fairy who has descended to earth, and my father is Wenquxing. There is no shortage of money in the house. I am also a high official. My grandfather and uncle are wealthy businessmen.
What blessings will they have in the future?" Qin'er said with her fingers, praising the two little guys for being reincarnated.
At this moment, the brother who was sleeping on the bed grinned, as if he understood Qin'er's words and was enjoying himself secretly.
"Pfft, he understood and was having fun again." Hua'er saw it and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The room burst into laughter.
The younger sister on the side seemed to dislike the noise. She kicked her arms and legs impatiently in her sleep, curled up her little mouth, and began to cry.
"Good boy, go to sleep, go to sleep, sleep peacefully, I won't bother you anymore." Li Shu's little hand gently patted her butt through the quilt.
My sister liked this trick very much. After being patted twice on her butt, she fell asleep obediently. She even arched towards Li Shu like a little pig.
Li Shu leaned over and gave her a rare kiss. The little guy who usually didn't smile actually grinned when Li Shu kissed her.
Qin'er and Hua'er felt strange for a while, "As expected of mother and daughter, the young lady smiled when she kissed them."
"Brother-in-law, have you decided on a name?" the two brothers-in-law asked Zhu Ping'an while teasing the two little guys.
"Boys follow their generation, but girls don't. In our family, the generation of their generation is 'Xing'. My brother is called Zhu Xingwen. I wish him to study hard and make progress every day. As for my sister, there is a saying in the Book of Songs, 'Jian Jia is green and white dew is frost.
"The so-called beauty is on the other side of the water. How about my sister's name is Zhu Yiyi?" Zhu Ping'an told the names for the two little guys and asked his two brothers-in-law for their opinions.
Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu started thinking of a name for the baby when Li Shu was pregnant. They read the Book of Songs and the Book of Changes, studied the Analects of Spring and Autumn Period, and almost read through ancient Chinese classics. They came up with dozens of names for boys and girls, and the two of them were chosen as the winners.
After winning the selection, the boy and the girl each chose three alternatives. It was not until today that their names were finally determined based on the children's birth time, that is, the birth date and the calculation of their five elements.
"Zhu Xingwen, Zhu Yiyi, what a good name. My brother-in-law deserves to be the number one scholar. This is such a good name, both nice and meaningful."
The two brothers-in-law gave a thumbs up and praised Zhu Pingan, thinking that the names of the two nephews were very good.
"Dad, what do you think?" the two brothers-in-law asked their fathers.
"It's not bad. He's the number one scholar after all. If he can't even name his own children, it would make people laugh." Rich Man Li was very satisfied with the names of his two grandsons, but he still had a stiff tongue.
, but when facing the two eldest grandsons, he had a different look. He licked his old face and rubbed his little hands, and said in a coaxing tone, "Xiao Xingwen, Xiao Yiyi, I am your grandpa.
ah."
At this time, at the gate of the governor's office, a monk slowly walked over with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
The monk is about fifty years old, with a fat body and a big belly. His temples are gray and he has a smile on his face. He looks a bit like Maitreya Buddha. The fat monk is spinning a rosary in one hand and holding an alms bowl in the other.
.
When people look at it, they will feel that they are masters from Buddhist temples who have traveled down the mountain and traveled around the world to experience Buddhism.
The officer at the gate saw the monk walking towards the door and stepped forward to stop him, "Monk, please go elsewhere to ask for alms. This is the Yamen, not a place for you to ask for alms. Go forward, there are many shops in front, and there will always be alms from the shopkeepers.
.”
"Haha, Amitabha, I came here today not to beg for alms but to make a fortune." The fat monk chuckled and made a Namaste with one hand, chanted the Buddha's name, and replied with a Zen meaning in his words.
"Ah? It's not alms, it's marriage? What does it mean? Is there a difference?" The guard scratched his head, confused.
"I traveled south and north and passed through your land. I found two great fortunes here. I counted them and found that two noble people were born here. They are precious. In the hands of the poor monk, there are two rosary beads that have been blessed by the eminent monk.
, as a gift to the two noble people who came to this world to form a good relationship." The fat monk smiled and took out two rosary beads from the alms bowl. The rosary beads were round and jade-like, and they looked like they were not ordinary objects at first glance.
