Chapter 241
When I met Xiao Sa in the evening, Chen Muqing told him about Xiao Yunniang's gift for the child, and asked him: "Yunniang said that once you passed by Shandong and went to see her, she kept it in mind... What's going on? Judging from the tone, it seems that she is very grateful to you when you go to see her!"
"I don't know whether I am grateful or not." Xiao Sa was lying on the edge of the bed and staring at the sleeping child with all his heart. When Chen Muqing asked him, he said absent-mindedly: "That was a few years ago. I heard that she was going to have sex with Zhuang Jian, and my brother-in-law, so I went to see it!"
"Heli!" Chen Muqing was startled, "Why do you need Heli?"
"It was said that Zhuang Jian was playing outside with a group of friends. If she didn't have home, she wanted to leave."
"What happened later?"
"She has been having many ideas since she was a child, and Zhuangjian is not her opponent." Xiao Sa stretched out her finger and poked the child's face gently. The child was sleeping well and didn't move. "Before I arrived, Zhuangjian had already surrendered obediently."
Chen Muqing was stunned.
Xiao Yunniang grew up in her hometown in Lincheng. Her eldest wife was not at home all year round. She thought Xiao Yunniang would be a cowardly little girl, but she didn't expect...
Seeing that his wife was silent, Xiao Sa looked up at her, lowered her head and wiped her daughter's face with her thumb, "I will know when you have the chance to see her one day... She is like a weed. She can live a good life wherever you throw her. You, don't worry about her."
"Who is willing to make weeds?" Chen Muqing murmured, "I'm afraid it's a last resort!"
"Even if it's a last resort," Xiao Sa paused to touch his daughter's hand, "You have to find a way to survive! She's alive now, that's enough."
Chen Muqing felt that Xiao Sa's attitude towards his sister was very strange, and he wanted to ask him a few words. Xiao Sa had already exclaimed in a low voice: "Mu Qing, look, look, I'll poke her, she's flattened her mouth."
Chen Muqing lowered his head and saw Xiao Sa poking her daughter. Her daughter flattened her mouth and frowned her thin eyebrows, as if she was very dissatisfied with someone disturbing her sleep.
She immediately opened Xiao Sa's hand from her daughter's face: "Don't touch her, if she is woken up, you will cry without any help!"
Xiao Sa hurriedly said, "I know, I know. I won't disturb her sleep." She looked perfunctory.
"I'm not kidding you!" Chen Muqing warned him again, "This afternoon, Mrs. Fang came to see the child. She was asleep. Mrs. Fang touched her hair and woke her up. She cried for an hour, and even her voice was hoarse. She didn't even coax her to eat, and kept crying."
"Really!" Xiao Sa said, his eyes showing a look of eagerness to try.
Chen Muqing hurriedly changed the child to the inside of the bed to sleep, warning her again: "If you wake her up, you will never be allowed to come in to see her while the child is sleeping again."
Since giving birth, she felt like a mother of two children, both having to take care of Xiao Sa and that little guy who knows nothing.
"No, no!" Xiao Sa promised repeatedly, changing the topic, "Mu Qing, what is the nickname of the child? I thought about it for a long time, but no one was satisfied."
It was really hard... Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Didn't you say that your child was born in July last time? His nickname was July?"
Xiao Sa shook her head: "I call you Qiyue, and then everyone will call her Qijie or Qiniang from now on. She is the boss... Isn't it a mess if you call this?"
"That's called Yuan Yue," Chen Muqing was made too much by Xiao Sa, "It's okay to do this! Sister Yuan, Yuan Niang, others will know that she is the boss when they hear it!"
"But I think Yuanyue Niang is not as good as July..."
Chen Muqing decided to ignore him, anyway, he had asked the master to give the child a scholar name.
*******
The next day, the family started to get busy.
First, the families who knew that Xiao Sa had given birth to children sent women to visit him, second, after the three-day ceremony, they had to hold a full moon banquet, and also sent Ningbi to take some local products to follow the Zhou Wang family to Qingyuan to pay tribute to Xiao Yunniang.
It was finally clear that it was already the end of August.
Xiao Sa asked Chen Muqing to take the child to Jinzhou: "...Mr. Zheng did not listen to the dissuasion. I was worried that the Yuanmeng people would invade again. If you go to Jinzhou, I can rest assured."
If she had no children, she would stay with Xiao Sa, but now with the child, the situation has changed.
Chen Muqing thought for a while and asked Xiao Sa: "You must be careful!"
Xiao Sa nodded and smiled, "I haven't earned our baby enough 500,000 taels of silver!"
The child is full of months old, and Xiao Sa hasn't figured out what nickname to give the child!
On one side is his daughter and on the other side is her husband. Chen Muqing didn't know what to say, so he had to hold Xiao Sa's hand tightly.
Just like last year, the things at home should be hidden and the things that should be collected are collected. In just a few days, the home looked like it was a bare-stop shop.
Chen Muqing was a pity that the cherry tree he had just planted in spring: "...I hope it's better not to break the city."
On September 2, Chen Muqing took his children, eldest wife, Grandma Zheng San, Mother Li, Mingxia and others, escorted by Ren Xiang and left Shanghai and went to Jinzhou.
Pang Debao and Xi Mag stayed in Shanghai to serve Xiao Sa.
The mountain roads in Sichuan are not easy to walk. Fortunately, the Zheng family is rich and powerful. They hired more than 50 people in Ya'an Prefecture and were escorted by the Zheng family's guards, and went to Jinzhou in a mighty way.
Jinzhou is less than a hundred miles south of Rongcheng, and is a mountain city, but this does not hinder it from becoming a city full of people.
When the city gate was looking at it, Master Zheng San had already greeted him with his servant and whispered loudly: "Where is the child? I want to see the child!"
Because the child was about to set off for Jinzhou when he was about to be in full month, Grandma Zheng San stayed in Shanghai again. When the child invited the full month banquet, the eldest wife told Master Zheng San not to travel between the two places in Shanghai and Jinzhou, and to take care of their living place first. Therefore, Master Zheng San has never seen the child.
Chen Muqing asked Mingxia to carry the child to Master Zheng San to see.
Master Zheng San looked at the little silver-red quilt covered with a pink makeup, and actually wiped his hands before holding it in his arms.
"He is so beautiful!" He just praised, and Grandma Zheng San had lifted the curtain over there: "What are you doing? Be careful of the cold wind at the gate of the city, blowing the child!"
When Master Zheng San heard this, he hurriedly gave the child to Mingxia: "Come in, carry it in, be careful that the wind will blow."
Everyone who came to greet them smiled.
Someone dressed in charge came forward with a smile: "Third Master, it's getting late, let's go into the city!"
Master Zheng San nodded, and his expression showed some majesty.
This is what Mr. Zheng usually looks like!
Chen Muqing smiled and thought, taking the child from Mingxia.
*******
The Zheng family is located east of Jinzhou. Since the time of his dynasty, it has not only had a prosperous business, but also a prosperous population. When it comes to the generation of the eldest wife, all the sixteen houses of the Zheng family lived together, occupying a corner of Jinzhou City, known as Zhengjia Lane.
Chen Muqing got off the sedan chair, and his eyes were filled with rows of houses, which were very spectacular.
The three Zheng brothers lived at the end of Zhengjia Lane. As soon as they entered the door, there were other wife and grandmothers from Zheng's house coming to visit, so naturally they were not allowed to introduce, bow, see children, give gifts, etc.
Xiaoyu woke the child up and she began to cry.
Chen Muqing had no choice but to hand her over to Xiu Gu to watch for a while.
But she refused to give in and cried even louder.
Chen Muqing felt sorry for the child and had to sue him and went to the place where he lived to coax the child to sleep.
After seeing everyone off, the eldest lady came in to see the child. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Muqing was very apologized: "I have spoiled me... the child is ignorant, so he can only change it slowly."
The eldest lady smiled and wanted to touch her satin-like black hair, but she was afraid of waking her up, so she reached back.
"There is an old lady in our family," said the eldest lady, "It's ninety-two this year, and I'm not deaf, and I don't have any eyes. All five sons and two daughters have survived. Now they are full of children and grandchildren. I'm a blessed person. If you want, I want to take the girl to see the old lady and ask the old lady to give her a nickname, so that she can also get rid of her Zehui."
Anyway, Xiao Sa thought about it for several months but didn't think it out, so he had no good idea... Chen Muqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Then I'll help my wife come to the old lady to say something."
Seeing that she agreed, the eldest lady laughed happily. Early the next morning, Chen Muqing had her child carry and brought four-color gifts to pay tribute to the old lady.
The old lady liked the child very much when she saw the child. The old lady told her purpose. The old lady was very happy: "I love to cry... Then call me Sister Ji."
There is a meaning that the rain and snow stop and the anger disappears.
Chen Muqing thought it was pretty good.
"It's still the old lady who is very knowledgeable!" The eldest lady also felt good, so the maids and mothers in the room came forward and shouted "Sister Ji".
The old lady asked someone to give it to Sister Ji with a piece of mutton fat jade: "This is given by my grandmother when I was a child. It should be that I have a fate with this child, so let's play with her!"
Chen Muqing hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up and bowed his knees to thank the old lady.
The old lady asked about the eldest lady’s business. The old lady was not only clear-talk, but also quick-thinking, which made Chen Muqing very envious. He just hoped that he would be satisfied with the old lady’s spirit when he was seventy years old.
I had lunch at the old lady's place at noon. The eldest lady personally served the old lady and took a nap. Then I returned to my residence with Shen Muqing.
Ren Xiang had been waiting in the flower hall.
Chen Muqing knew that he was in a hurry to return to Kyoto, so he didn't keep him.
The gifts brought back to Kyoto were already ready. She handed over the letter she wrote to the master and Shi Jingshu to Ren Xiang, received the gift from Zhuji, and then asked Yinliang to send them to Beijing.
Since then, she and Sister Ji have lived in the Zheng Mansion and met many daughters-in-law and girls in the Zheng family. They chatted together, did needlework, and took care of children, which was very lively.
After settling down, Chen Muqing wrote a lovely letter, and personally made some food for Yinliang to send to Xiao Sa.
The eldest lady wanted to speak but stopped seeing her.
Chen Muqing liked the eldest wife very much and took the eldest wife's hand: "If you think there is something wrong with me, just tell me. I will definitely correct it."
"No, no, no." The eldest lady said hurriedly, "I didn't mean that." As she said, a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
"In my heart, you are the ones I respect the most and closest to, just like my wife." Chen Muqing looked at the eldest wife seriously, "What do you have to say to me?"
