In the entire hall, no one dared to speak except for Fourth Master and Lin Yutong who were asking and answering questions.
In fact, everyone hopes that this is a prince, and everyone feels at ease with each other.
Who knew that a princess would really be born.
Even Yin Lao Er carefully looked at the fourth master's face. The fourth master was just happy at the moment. He hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in. The delivery room had not been tidied up yet, and Qian was dressing the newborn child.
.
When the fourth master saw that Lin Yutong was fine, he whispered: "You rest, I'll go see our eldest daughter."
As he said that, he reached out and took the small clothes, "Mom, I'll do it."
How dare Mr. Qian dare to let him do it, but the fourth master really knows how to do it. He has rich experience. He has taken care of triplets and even looked after his grandson when he was old. He is really no stranger to taking care of children.
The child's arms were as thick as an adult's fingers. The fourth master gently dressed the child: "Our eldest princess is so handsome."
Nonsense! It’s impossible for a newborn baby to be very good-looking. In the past, the shape of the head of children born by caesarean section was at least good-looking. However, many children born naturally had pointed heads due to the birth canal.
Lin Yutong took a look just now, but he really didn't see anything particularly good-looking.
The Fourth Master's current appearance is on the tough side, and his own appearance is definitely not an eye-catching beauty.
With the genes here, how beautiful can they be?
Everyone in the room saw the fourth master's attitude towards the child and congratulated him.
The fourth master asked someone to give him a reward. When he turned around, he saw Lin Yutong eating brown sugar poached eggs and said with a smile, "How about calling our eldest daughter Zhangzhu?"
Pearl of the Palm? Pearl of the Palm.
Straightforward and simple, but it is the best way to block the messy speculation below.
Lin Yutong smiled: "Okay! It's called Zhangzhu."
On that day, the fourth master announced to the world that the royal princess was born.
Lin Yutong ate something and fell asleep. The nurse fed the baby and took him out to show Yin Laoer.
"I also thought of a name for my eldest granddaughter, why did you choose it?" Yin Laoer complained to the fourth master.
The fourth master was stunned for a moment: "How about the name you always give me is called a nickname?"
"It works!" Yin Laoer looked down at the child's half-closed eyes and said, "From now on, we will be called rare."
"What's it called?" Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, thinking he was hallucinating.
"Rare!" Yin Laoer repeated.
This is really - quite good.
Rare, uncommon, rare, precious, and joyful. It has the same purpose as palm beads.
"Okay! Let's call it rare in our own family." The fourth master said and touched the child's cheek.
By the time Lin Yutong woke up, the child's nickname had already been announced. I'm afraid it had spread outside the palace. The eldest princess's maiden name was Zhangzhu, and her nickname was Xilan.
She stroked her forehead and looked at the child sleeping beside her. She was really afraid that others wouldn't know how precious this girl was, and she wanted the whole world to know about it.
Seeing that Lin Yutong had woken up, Grandma Su said: "Madam, Mrs. Cheng'en is here." This was referring to the Jin family.
"Please come in." Lin Yutong sat up and leaned on the soft pillow on the side. It was raining outside, and the window was open, so it was not so stuffy anymore.
Jin came in and looked at Lin Yutong first, "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"
Lin Yutong shook his head: "Everything is fine. The birth went smoothly, don't worry."
"You have to take good care of it." Mrs. Jin said, turning to look at the child, "I heard that naming the eldest princess Zhangzhu is very rare. Your father and I feel relieved."
As he said that, he talked about the taboos of confinement, and took out the clothes for the baby that he had prepared early and showed them to Lin Yutong one by one. "I know you don't need anyone to take care of you here, so I won't keep them."
Lin Yutong responded: "I can't live without you at home. If I want to come here in the future, my home is not far from the palace."
Jin glanced at the child again: "This is natural. I have to come and see the child even if I don't look at you."
Lin Yutong smiled, "I thought you didn't care about us and we did?"
"Bah!" Mrs. Jin glared and said, "I am doing this for you, and also for the sake of the children. It is not easy for us women in this world. You are a princess..."
Lin Yutong looked at the sweetly sleeping child: "Don't worry, this child will be free..."
If he couldn't let his children do whatever they wanted, he and his fourth master would really die in a head-on collision.
The children's shower was very lively.
Fourth Master agreed not to accept any congratulatory gifts.
Mr. Lu said: "Your Majesty, I am relying on my elders this time. Please call me sir, but the emperor cannot stop me from giving a gift to my disciple's child."
Fang Changqing smiled and said: "To be disrespectful, we have known each other since we were young, and now we just treat it as a close relative and friend who comes to give the child a gift. If you refuse again, it will be obvious."
Everyone was talking a lot, and Fourth Master had to smile and respond.
At night, Lin Yutong leaned on the bed and watched Grandma Su taking stock.
"Don't tell me, they are all good things." Lin Yutong looked at the fourth master holding the child and pointed to a box of flowers carved from jade.
The fourth master glanced at it and said, "Keep it for your child. If you like it, find a good jade stone in the future and ask someone to make it for you."
With that said, he walked around the house with the child in his arms.
"Let her rock in the cradle. How can I hold her like this every day?" Lin Yutong felt sorry for the fourth master, "You have a little time to sleep. Why don't you rest in front? If the child cries, you will fall asleep again."
It’s not possible.”
"I can't sleep well unless I see you." The fourth master put the child in the cradle and lay on the side, holding the cradle with one hand and rocking the child.
Grandma Su watched the family of three sleeping with their eyes closed, and then she quietly led the girls out.
Unless I had seen it with my own eyes, I would never know how much the emperor cared about the princess. He personally changed her clothes, peed herself, and coaxed her to sleep. It hurt like this.
Lin Yutong focused on confinement and raising children.
Zhangzhu is not a difficult child to take care of, and the nanny is also prepared. Lin Yutong feeds him personally on weekdays. But except for breastfeeding and sleeping at night, Lin Yutong is not seen most of the time. Yin Laoer and Qian
As soon as daybreak comes, they take care of the children during the day.
This summer seems to be extremely hot.
Fortunately, it was mid-July, the hottest time, and the baby was one month old.
"No news has come back from the front line yet?" Lin Yutong carried the food box to the front to deliver food to the fourth master. Seeing the fourth master frowning at the map, he couldn't help but ask.
The Fourth Master shook his head, "Not so fast!" He laughed and said, "At least the moon will come in the middle of the night, and it will be August. I guess it's almost there. No matter good news or bad news, there will always be news." As he said,
, he pointed to the folder on the table, "Look, this is the general knowledge examination conducted by Saburo. Although it is different from what was expected, it is not bad. It is the first time, and it has been properly arranged.
It’s like spending thousands of gold to buy horse bones.”
Lin Yutong picked up the folder and couldn't help but smile.
There are really people from all walks of life. There are carpenters who make manual fans according to Saburo's description. There are blacksmiths who make springs and screws. There are people who can make fireworks and can make various patterns and fonts. There are also people who can make fireworks.
There are masons who can identify various stones at a glance and estimate their size and weight. There are masons who can estimate at a glance how much the building is tilted.
Each has their own specialties.
What surprised Lin Yutong the most was that there were two magic counters who were counting the numbers while they were calculating. There was no mistake in the calculation of six or seven digits.
"Very good!" Lin Yutong said with a smile: "These two magic fortune tellers are directly given a seventh grade and placed in the Measurement Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which can be regarded as having expertise. As for the others, I think it is better to put them in the craftsman's workshop.
, the eldest brother, the consul, asked Sanlang to supervise it. Let’s see if we can make something.” The two princes are in charge, which shows that they attach great importance to it. Sanlang has good ideas. As long as he provides creative ideas, they will have a research direction. It only takes a few dollars per year.
It’s just ten thousand taels of research funding. Why not?
Fourth Master nodded, "That's what I mean too. This general examination is placed in the craftsman's workshop and is managed by Saburo. Throughout the year, if someone wants to take the exam, ask him to take it. As long as Saburo recognizes the person's ability, he can stay
Come down. I will explain to Saburo when I turn around. One day, it will become a big deal."
Nowadays, there are still many people who simply don’t believe that the emperor will really give them official positions. After a few successful examples, more people will be attracted.
Fourth Master said, taking another coupon: "Look at this again."
"It's still Sanlang's!" Lin Yutong laughed, "It really shouldn't be underestimated."
As a result, the brochure stated that the imperial court was requested to allocate a special amount of funds to put manual fans into production. These workshops could be under the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs or the Ministry of Industry.
Lin Yutong said: "Then the first craftsman to make the pattern will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and a house will be given to him. Let's go with Sanlang's request." Although it may not be much profit, you still have to take the first step.
The fourth master glanced at Fang Changqing, who was sorting out documents at the side, and said, "Write everything down and do as the Queen said."
Before the decree to give Sanlang could be carried out, Sanlang entered the palace.
"I'm here to ask for a marriage grant." Sanlang came in and said this straight to the point.
But Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were confused.
Asking for marriage?
Whose girl is this?
Never heard of it at all.
"Why...why is it so sudden?" Lin Yutong asked, "Whose famous lady?"
Saburo smiled bitterly: "I haven't chosen the candidate yet."
How can we get married if we don’t have a good candidate?
Sanlang raised his head: "Anyway, the emperor and the empress will give it to someone. I really have no choice."
