Old and Beautiful in the Red Chamber

Chapter 47: The Eldest Man Embraces His Grandson

The old man has embraced his grandson, but the old man is in a complicated mood at this time.

It is naturally a happy thing to hold a grandson, but the date of this grandson's birth is really unsatisfactory-you said it can be done one day sooner or later, the Qin family started it in the second year of junior high school, but this bastard just dragged it Born before the rooster crows on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month—it is unlucky to be born on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month!Evil!Most of them are the reincarnation of evil spirits and gods!Disaster leader!Harm the family's parents!

Speaking of this, the elder had no choice but to give his son a few supercilious glances-do you think you can sow seeds?I don't know that May and July are more taboo in this dynasty?You still pick these two months to have a baby, and you pick the most fatal day!Thinking about the previous life, the only granddaughter was born on July [-]th. July is originally a ghost month, full of yin, and women belong to yin. It's easy to be criticized, let alone sister Qiao was born on the day of begging for Qiao!According to the saying of this dynasty, a daughter born on July [-]th is a sign of a broken family and tears in her life!Therefore, many people abandon their daughters and daughters because they are afraid of affecting the family's power. The taboo of the Dragon Boat Festival has existed since ancient times. There is a saying that demons and ghosts are in power and ghosts and ghosts are rampant in this month. People born in May are easily tabooed, and the fifth day of May is the day when poisonous and evil spirits are at their peak. The reincarnation of calamity and evil is an evil ghost who will restrain relatives and destroy families, and is an ominous person. Therefore, not many children born on this day are willing to raise them well, and even more are abandoned and directly killed, especially in the Song Dynasty. Song Huizong, who was born on the Dragon Boat Festival, not only restrained his family and relatives, but made his family expensive as the royal family, but became a prisoner at the mercy of others and suffered humiliation. —The old man is worried, why do his precious grandchildren like to choose such a day?

The Eldest Man is an ancient man, he already believed in ghosts and gods, fate, etc., and his own experience made him dare not say lightly that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, and then, the fate of his granddaughter’s previous life is also somewhat confirmed, isn’t it—— The family is broken, at least the former is confirmed, the Jia family is indeed ruined, the family is separated, and she is homeless. In the eyes of the old man who has been rich all his life, being a village woman really should be done every day. What a miserable day to cry—these things should be believed!So here comes the question, how will he treat his little grandson?Throw it outside?

How can you bear it!He is so small!

But this is the grandson that I have been thinking about for two lifetimes!

But will staying there affect their family?If his home was ransacked because he was raising him...

What should I do?Grandpa can't make up his mind!And I don't want to part with my little grandson, and I'm afraid that something will happen to my family.

Then the old lady next door who hadn't come out for a long time made up her mind for the old man—well, the old lady said that the child's life is not good, and she is afraid that it will affect the Jia family's foundation, so she wants to throw it away——The old lady is really cruel Well, even the old man only wanted to send the child to be raised outside the house, don't get too close, the old lady just doesn't want him!Originally, the old man couldn't bear to let go of this grandson, but now it's all right, for the sake of being disliked by the old lady, even if he wants to refute the old lady, he still wants to raise this grandson!

Besides, you can't completely believe in fate, but you can't believe it all. Otherwise, why do you have to work hard if you have life and wealth, and it's useless to work hard if you don't have life?His grandfather carried him to fortune-telling back then, and the blind man swore that he was the phoenix who accompanied the king. Tsk, the old man strongly suspected that the fortune-teller was a fake blind man, because he was young at that time. Yes, he was dressed in pink and rich that day, he must have thought of himself as a girl to guess that way to please his grandfather and get more money - he couldn't even tell the difference between a man and a woman, and he couldn't trust fortune-telling or anything like that.Hehe, according to what he said, as a companion and accompaniment to Wang Banjia for two lifetimes, the fate of the phoenix~ He couldn't be playing the role of a phoenix in trouble, and he ransacked his home and exiled him, right?

So, you can't fully believe that the son of the Dragon Boat Festival is a disaster or something, maybe it's their family's lucky star?Well, his son and daughter-in-law don't have to worry too much, let's quickly think of a name for the child and put it on the family tree!

The grandpa’s grandchildren are cursive characters. In order to give his grandson a good name, the grandpa turned over a few books and finally gave his grandson the word Bodhisattva—this word is often associated with Bodhisattva. Bodhi is full of Buddha-nature and compassion. The Elder hopes to use the power of the Buddha to remove the evil nature that the child may have, and to protect the child from being attacked by evil spirits. Suppress evil", I hope he can grow up safely and revitalize the family like his predecessors.

Afterwards, the Elder donated money to lay bricks and tiles for the national cement road, reduced rent for his own tenant farmers, and sent supplies to various health care halls to accumulate virtue for his grandson. As for the common gift of sesame oil to Buddhist temples What's the matter, I'm sorry, I sent money to these places a lot in my previous life, but it turned out that my family was stolen?The old master can't tell whether they are enlightened or not, whether they really have the ability to dispel evil spirits, so let's not get involved, let's do good things by ourselves.

Jia Lian and Qin Keqing also breathed a sigh of relief. The child's life is not good, how can they be in a good mood?If it's a girl, they can still keep it on the grounds that they will always marry off in the end—after all, another influence of patriarchy is that the world never thinks that women are very capable, even if the real evil spirit is reincarnated, it doesn't have much power—— At that time, even if the family members will not care much about the daughter, they will have a good life. After all, the daughter will belong to someone else's family when she is married. Can affect the mother's family.Men are different, if something happens, it will be my own fault!The scourge can last a lifetime!On the one hand, Jia Lian and Qin Keqing murmured about their eldest son's birthday, and they said in their hearts that it was a lie that they didn't care. On the other hand, this was their first child!It is even more sad to give up!But if the elder insists on not wanting this grandson, what can they do when they are juniors?

Now it's all right, the elder is willing to give the name, and the child will be saved!For fear that something might be wrong, the Elder decided to keep the child by his side, so as not to affect his son's behavior, which moved Jia Lian to tears, and his admiration for the Elder was soaring!

"Aren't you afraid?" Situ Xi was expressionless, and while the Elder Master was not paying attention, he poked Jia Pu's face secretly, it was so soft, it was really interesting, "Why did you give someone such an ugly name? Jia Pu... Heh, listen It looks like a family tree, well, it also looks like a servant."

"What are you doing! You want to poke your grandson!" The elder grandpa heard his grandson crying loudly, and that made his heart ache~ Probably beating a son and loving a grandson is the tradition of the old Jia family. Bi Yitian likes it. Having never held a child in his life, he even shamelessly asked his grandson's nurse for advice. Now he looks good when he holds the baby, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't look at the child for a day.Hearing that the good grandson was poked and cried, and his cheeks were red from being poked, it hurts so much!Even the emperor can't bully children like this!

As for the name... the grand master's intentions are good, but he forgot to add his own family name earlier to experience it!After all, I have to talk about the old ancestors, why do you think you chose such a surname?No matter how good the meaning of the name is, adding "false" in front of it will change everything!

"You've grown up~" Situ Xi felt awkward for a moment, he really didn't have any strength, how could he know that children were so careless!Move your fingers, he is the emperor!Don't give it a stamp, right?

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." the old man was in so much pain that he almost shed tears, that crazy emperor Situ Xi actually pulled his face!It hurts!It's a pity that holding his grandson in his arms, the Elder Master couldn't even slap the opponent's hand away, so he could only blushing pitifully.

"...Squeamish." Situ Xi, who was frightened by his childishness, let go of his hand embarrassingly, and couldn't help but twist his fingers—the skin is so slippery, what does a bad old man want such smooth skin?Still teary and not manly at all!Bewitching!

"You have nothing to do, right? What's the matter with running to my house all day long!" The old man is very easy-going, he is afraid of anyone who is fierce, if you pet him, just wait for him to be proud of it!The emperor spoils him, he can disregard the majesty of the emperor, he can spoil others, Mrs. Zhang dotes on him, he can act coquettishly and play cute regardless of Mr. Zhang's seriousness, similarly, after realizing that Situ Xi is not full of disgust for him like before, the elder is not like She was as cautious as usual, and occasionally dared to drive people out of the way.

"..." No, he was just in a bad mood. The eldest grandson Zhuo Zhou, he was very happy to go, but before enjoying the family happiness, his eldest son was trying to establish the crown prince - why?Do you think your son will grow up if he stands upright?Do you really think that nothing happened if he didn't punish him last time?Situ Xi is so heartbroken!This elder son has a big heart, and he even contradicted what Lao Tzu said. He sent the two sons to practice. As soon as he heard that he was about to leave the capital, the elder son immediately came over to express his loyalty and filial piety, saying that he was reluctant to leave him. He insisted on practicing in Liubu. Instead, he recommended his second son to Zhang Shouli's place—don't think that this was brother Youai, Zhang Shouli's place was preparing to let people go to sea again, and then his second son ran away with his nephew!Heading towards the sea of ​​stars!The eldest son's heart is getting bigger and bigger!Situ Xi was so angry that his grandson stopped hugging him because he was afraid of giving others wrong information!

Then I planned to go to the elder to calm down my mood, but when I saw people making fun of their grandchildren, my mood was so unbalanced!He's getting old too!In the past, I was stopped by the eldest wife and never hugged my son. When my son was older, I was too embarrassed to hug him. Finally, I waited until I had a grandson. Because of the grandson, his father is not easy to hug!Why is the old man Jia She so lucky?

Continue to poke the meat ball in people's arms, anyway, no one knows he is the emperor, anyway, if you pet this meat ball, no one will think about the throne, Situ Xi has decided to come to Jia's house to poke and poke often!Hey, Jia She, Jia She, I want you to grab brother!Tell you to grab your father!Now it's my turn to snatch your grandson!

The author has something to say:

I don’t know about other places. In our area, children born on May 20th, July [-]th, and August [-]th are somewhat taboo, at least we were like this when we were young (a dozen or [-] years ago).From the perspective of our rural areas, children born on May [-]th are not easy to take care of, and they are more poisonous; children born in July and a half are easy to provoke those things, and children born in August and a half are easy to beg when they grow up—these three days are born Children usually celebrate their birthdays one or two days earlier, and they cannot celebrate their birthdays on time—of course, it seems that there is no such saying now.

I asked my mother if the girl born on July [-] had anything to say, and she said no, July [-] is the Crying Festival (probably meaning that even the fairies in the sky are separated from each other only once a year, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet and cry? The old one I never think that Qixi Festival is Valentine’s Day, Chinese Valentine’s Day is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! It’s the day of Lantern Festival), the book doesn’t say why it’s not good for Qiaojie to be born on July [-]th, so I’ll fill it in with this statement
