Four hundred and twentieth chapters mouth blessing
The white-topped boat sailed slightly close to the left bank. The people who came to greet it, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dai, followed the boat towards the dock. Shang Danran reminded her husband to be careful when walking, don't just turn your head to look at the boat and forget to look at the road under your feet.
The road was not smooth, so he looked back at the swaddled baby held by Zhou's mother, and smiled at Zhang Yuan: "He fell asleep again, everyone was awake just now." He asked Zhou's mother to carry Xiao Hongjian into the cabin.
Zhang Dai's wife Liu stayed in the cabin and refused to show her face. Zhang Dai's mood was far less happy than Zhang Yuan's. He would rather Liu stayed in Shanyin. These days, he and Li Kou'er were so close that they were as close as honey to oil -
The two boats were moored at the pier, and the pedals were laid. Zhang Dai got on the boat and helped his father Zhang Yaofang ashore. Zhang Yaofang and his father Zhang Rulin were very similar in shape and appearance. They were fat and wearing glasses. He smiled and greeted Zhang Yuan: "My dear nephew."
, Congratulations. On the ninth day of October last year, you boarded the ship from the Bashi Bridge in Shanyin and went to Beijing to take the exam. At that time, who would have thought that I, the Zhang family of Shanyin, could actually get three Jinshi in one subject, and you were still the top scholar in the first class!"
Wu Ting, a guest of the Qing Dynasty, said with a smile: "Longshan Mountain in Shanyin is a treasure land of Feng Shui. Forty-five years ago, Mr. Yanghe was the top scholar in high school. Forty-five years later, Master Jiezi became the youngest champion in the Ming Dynasty. Looking at Jiangnan and even the entire Ming Dynasty,
, How many families like this can exist?" After saying this, he bowed solemnly to Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dai.
In the past, when Zhang Yuan's eye disease was still recovering, Wu Ting had read to Zhang Yuan and taught Zhang Yuan's calligraphy. Zhang Yuan called Wu Ting Mr. Wu, which was very polite.
Shang Zhouzuo came over to greet Zhang Yaofang. The two had known each other before, but now Zhang Yaofang was a generation older than Shang Zhouzuo. However, Zhang Yaofang did not dare to consider himself an elder, and still treated Shang Zhouzuo as equals——
Mu Zhenzhen, Wang Wei, Jinglan, and Jinghui sisters had already boarded the boat at the back to visit Shang Danran. Although Shang Danran was surprised to see Wang Wei here, he had no time to ask about the two nieces Jinglan and Jinghui at this time.
While happily holding one of her hands and talking, Jing Hui looked at Shang Danran carefully and said, "Auntie, you are more beautiful than before, whiter and more beautiful."
After Shang Danran gave birth to her child, her figure became plumper than before, and she had the charm of a mature woman.
Shang Danran touched Jing Hui's neat forehead and smiled: "Xiao Hui has grown so big, and Xiao Lan is almost as tall as my aunt. These days go by so fast. Three years ago, on February 20th, you guys
It has been almost four years since I left Kuaiji and went to Beijing. My aunt misses you very much."
Jinglan is shyer than when she was a child. She just smiles and doesn't talk much. Jinghui still talks a lot and is as attached to Shang Danran as when he was a child. He looked around and said, "Where is little Hongjian? I want to hold little Hongjian."
Zhou Ma came forward with a smile and hugged Xiao Hongjian. Jing Lan, Jing Hui, Mu Zhenzhen, and Wang Wei all gathered around to take a look. The pink baby was sleeping soundly, with soft forehead hair and slightly open mouth from time to time.
There was a "click" sound, as if he was sucking milk in his sleep. Wang Wei said in surprise: "Young Master Hongjian has grown a lot compared to the full moon. Children grow up so fast!"
Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dai also got on the boat at this time. Zhang Dai bowed to Shang Danran and shouted: "Brother Shang has worked hard on a long journey. Where is my nephew Hongjian? Let me see him."
Zhang Yuan and Shang Danran looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Yuan said to Zhou's mother: "Let me hug him." He hugged his son and looked at it carefully, and said in his heart: "This is my child, I like it." He felt happy and calm, feeling
It is this kind of composure that makes everything possible.
Zhang Dai on the side said: "The nose, mouth and meson are carved out of the same mold. Good boy, uncle has a gift for you." He took out a four-color Hetian jade chi tiger jade pei carved by the famous Suzhou jade maker Lu Zigang from his arms.
, tucked in the swaddling clothes, this kind of Hetian jade with four colors of red, purple, green and white is extremely valuable. The four colors are distinct, implying happiness, wealth, longevity and joy. It is very rare and it was made by Lu Zigang. Such a small piece of jade is worth no less than three dollars.
One hundred taels of silver.
The old servant Fu Cheng, Shang Danran's maid Yun Jin, Yu Mei and a young boy named Baima came to kowtow to Zhang Yuan. Wu Ling saw the slim Yun Jin and kept giggling. Yun Jin blushed and ignored him——
The pier was noisy and the people gathered here had different auras. Six-month-old Zhang Hongjian woke up and looked at the person holding him with dark eyes without blinking. Shang Danran gently rubbed his son.
With a small face, he smiled and said: "Carefully identify who this person is?"
Xiao Hongjian looked at Zhang Yuan with eyes like paint, and his mouth slowly opened wide. Just when Zhang Yuan thought that his son was about to cry, the child broke into a smile and burst out laughing.
Jinglan and Jinghui were so happy that they went to kiss Xiao Hongjian. Then Xiao Hongjian burst into tears, but the two cousins stopped harassing him, and he quickly stopped crying.
Crying expresses dissatisfaction and rejection——
Shang Danran smiled and said: "He doesn't cry much, he loves to laugh, just like Xiao Hui when he was a child, he laughed when he saw people."
"Like me?" Jing Hui looked at Xiao Hongjian, pursed his lips and stopped talking. His sharp eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhang Yuan kissed his son on the cheek, handed him to Zhou's mother to hold, and said to Zhang Dai: "Brother, I will go with you to meet Liu's sister-in-law." Zhang Dai can't stay in this cabin if he doesn't want to see Liu.
Mrs. Liu was sitting there upright, waiting for Zhang Dai to come and ask her to get off the boat. They only exchanged a few words when they met. Zhang Dai helped her get off the boat, bowed to Mrs. Fu, and then got into the carriage.
Shang Danran and his party also came ashore. When they saw their brother and sister-in-law, they fell on their knees and cried with joy. Shang Zhouzuo looked at this young girl with tears in his eyes. Six years ago, he left his hometown to go to Beijing to take up a job. Danran was about the same age as Jinglan now, and he is now
Now that she is a mother, she, as the eldest brother, is really happy.
Shang Danran took his sister-in-law Fu's hand and said, "My sister-in-law is less wealthy than before."
Mrs. Fu has been in poor health since she had a miscarriage the year before last. People who met her often didn't realize it. Shang Danran hadn't seen her for nearly four years and felt that her sister-in-law was obviously thin and sickly, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Fu's face was full of joy at this time and she said: "There are no relatives in Beijing, so it's very boring. Now that you are here, my sister-in-law is really happy."
After losing her mother at the age of five, Dan Ran was raised by her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Fu. Therefore, in Mrs. Fu's eyes, Dan Ran was almost like her daughter. At this time, she saw that Xiao Hongjian was white, plump and cute, and he was a boy. Mrs. Fu was overjoyed.
She opened her mouth and asked Dan Ran and her son to ride in the same carriage with her.
Laifu had hired five carriages and twenty porters to move all the utensils on board ashore. The utensils were transported to the courtyard in Lige Old Hutong, while Shang Danran and his party went to have dinner at Shang Zhou Zuo's house on the East Fourth Archway.
Zhang Yaofang, Zhang Dai and Liu went to the bank of Paozi River and agreed to meet at the bank of Paozi River on the tenth day of the lunar month.
Shang Danran brought many utensils from Shanyin. Zhang Ruiyang asked her to bring all the gifts she received on the day she left home to the capital. When she arrived in Jiaxing, she received a large number of gifts from Zhang Ruoxi. There were also five thousand volumes by Yang Shixiang.
The twenty porters could not finish the book at once, so Laifu quickly hired ten more people, and together with Fu Cheng and Wang Dachui, they led them to the old Lige Hutong on the west side of the imperial city.
Zhang originally planned to spend the night in Lige Old Alley after Dan Ran had dinner with his brother-in-law and his family at Dongsi Archway, because there was not enough room for so many people here. However, during the meal, his sister-in-law Fu said that Dan Ran and her son would stay there.
After staying here for a few days, Zhang Yuan arranged for Wang Wei, Hui Xiang, Xue Tong, and Uncle Yao to stay there first. Fu Cheng, Laifu, and Wang Dachui also stayed there, and all daily necessities were prepared.
With the birth of a baby, the courtyard was full of life. There were constant laughter and laughter. Jing Hui loved teasing little Hongjian the most. When resting at night, Mu Zhenzhen moved to the adjacent room to live with Yun Jin and Yumei. Her bed
Zhou's mother took Xiao Hongjian to live in the outer room, and the inner room was Zhang Yuan's big bed. Of course Shang Danran slept with Zhang Yuan that night. Before going to bed, Zhou's mother brought Xiao Hongjian to Shang Danran.
While breastfeeding, Xiao Hongjian had a big appetite. He had to feed once in the middle of the night——
Shang Danran was a little embarrassed to breastfeed his son in front of Zhang Yuan. After all, it was the first time. Zhou's mother smiled and retreated to the outside. Zhang Yuan sat on the side with a small spoon and watched his son suck milk.
Swallowing "Gurgling", she was still holding Dan Ran's other breast with one hand, as if she was worried that her father Zhang Yuan would snatch it away——
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Eat slowly and don't choke. Daddy won't compete with you."
Shang Danran's pretty face flushed, and he said slightly angrily: "We are all fathers now, so we have to speak more seriously."
Zhang Yuandao: "How serious is the joy of a couple?" As he said this, he took his son's small hand away and covered his big hand. After a little kneading, the palms of his fingers became wet and thick. When he pulled back his hand, he saw milk on one hand.
——
Shang Danran chuckled, but he saw Zhang Yuan sniffing his hand and saying, "It smells so good." He also licked the palm of his hand and said, "It's so sweet." He touched his son's head and said, "The boy has a good taste."
Shang Danran couldn't stop laughing. He moved his body and pulled the nipple out of his son's mouth. Xiao Hongjian was eating vigorously, but when he couldn't eat, he burst into tears. Shang Danran quickly put it back and blocked his son's mouth, crying.
Stopped abruptly.
Zhang Yuan stopped teasing Dan Ran and asked Dan Ran about the scene when he left his hometown, sighing: "My mother doesn't know how reluctant you are to leave Shanyin. Now Xiao Hongjian is her old man's heartache."
Shang Danran said: "Then how about we bring the two elders to Beijing next year?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head and said: "They are not used to living here in the capital. Elderly people are still used to living in their hometowns. You and Hongjian will live in the capital for a few years. When Hongjian grows up, you mother and son will return to Shanyin."
I am filial to these two elderly people."
Shang Danran responded: "That's what I thought." He felt that his son in his arms was no longer sucking. He lowered his head and saw that his son fell asleep while feeding. He covered up his bra and called Mother Zhou to come in and hold her.
When Xiao Hongjian goes out to sleep, be careful not to let him vomit milk. Xiao Hung Chien will easily vomit milk after eating too much.
The couple went to bed after being separated for a year, and they were extremely affectionate. On this night, Zhang Yuan tasted his wife's sweet milk, the real sweetness. People say that the husband is the wife's first child. I wonder if this is what he meant?
…
Three days later, Zhang Yuan and Shang Danran moved to the courtyard in Lige Old Hutong. Mrs. Fu was very reluctant to leave. Danran said that she would bring Xiao Hongjian back to visit her brother and sister-in-law every two or three days, and her sister-in-law could also take Jing with her at any time.
Lan, Jing Hui came to Lige Old Hutong. It only takes half an hour by carriage. The roads in the capital are flat and very convenient——
On that day, Zhang Yuan heard news in the Hanlin Academy that Nanjing Minister of Rites Shen Que had written a reply to the Hanlin Academy and James Mansion, requesting to postpone the debate for ten days because people on their side might not be able to make it before the end of October. When they arrived in the capital, Shen Que reported the list of people participating in the debate. In addition to Shen Que himself, there were also Xu Ruke, a doctor from the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, Master Lianchi, a distinguished monk from Jiangnan, and Liu Zongzhou, a famous Confucian from Shaoxing——
