Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 67 Dragon Boat Festival Dinner

"Mom, Mom..." The thickly wrapped little doll lay on all fours, raised her furry head, and her two big black and bright eyes were full of water, as if she had been wronged by the heavens.He moved tremblingly, raised a small hand that was fat enough to have five small dimples, and stretched it towards Jia Yao.That small appearance is very cute, looking at it makes me want to be held in my arms and loved.Rao is as determined as Jia Yao, but she is a little bit ruthless.

As soon as Mo Lanyan entered the room, she watched this scene.The fat son who had already learned how to crawl was wrapped in a small golden dress and begged his princess pitifully. No need to ask, Mo Lanyan knew why.However, Mo Lan is used to being a good person. When he heard the sound, his precious son turned his head and asked for help with coquettish eyes, and he surrendered, "How much did you eat today? It doesn't matter if you give him some more." Get in the way."

Jia Yao gave him a blank look, seeing that the servant girl had taken away all the food, she stretched out her hand and hugged Bai Baiyuan's son into her arms, "You are used to it. I just drank rice cereal, see I eat noodles, and he also wants them. I don’t know that the food has no taste at all, why does this little guy eat it so enthusiastically!” Now that he knew that his parents would not give him anything to eat, he started to play honestly. Jia Yaoqi kissed the little doll with her finger on the forehead, "Neither of us like to eat, why does Angel look like a piggy?" Looking at her son's puffy face, Jingjing Bright black eyes, she smiled again, "They look alike too."

Mo Lan came over with a smile, and now Jia Yao kissed her on the cheek, and took his eldest son, "Anji is so handsome, she looks like a pig! What's wrong with children eating too much! Like The emperor's grandmother said that children are lucky if they are willing to eat! Blessed are orphaned sons! Like Gu!"

Jia Yao took the fat son's bib and wiped the saliva left by him when he opened his mouth silly, "So it looks like you. Let me tell you why this kid likes to drool very much. I didn't have this problem when I was young."

With a thought, Mo Lan moved her head, "Drool alone? Isn't it... Yaoer thinks for herself, where does Gu leave all her saliva?" His gaze followed Jia Yao's neckline all the way down, as if he could See what's inside through that layer of clothing.

Jia Yao's pretty face was flushed, and she raised her hand to give this unscrupulous person a blow, but Mo Lanchang avoided it.He was in a good mood at the moment, and when he came back, he saw his beloved wife and fat son again. Looking at his wife who had been well nursed up and became more beautiful and mature after giving birth, he felt a little itchy in his heart.Slowly poking his head down, trying to steal a scent from the red lips of his little wife.Jia Yao was also happy at the moment, she closed her eyes, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, ready to accept his kiss.

Seeing that they were about to succeed, a small fleshy hand suddenly appeared between the two of them, and said in a childish voice, "Huh?"

The two lowered their heads at the same time, and saw Mo Jinghuai, who was hugged by Mo Lanyan, had big eyes that were strange and ignorant in his innocence.Maybe it's because I don't know why the father and mother suddenly ignored me. The little guy who was playing with his fingers in peace wanted to come out to find some sense of presence.Now seeing that both of them are paying attention to him again, he is happy.Pursing his mouth, he became happy, and made himself happy, and he let out a yelp, showing two small teeth that had just come to the fore.

The two of them were not interested in being intimate anymore, "You little rascal," Mo Lanyan scratched Angel's nose, "let's pack up and go together. The family banquet is about to begin."

This day is the Dragon Boat Festival, because now Mo Lanchang has been crowned as the prince, and the two of them brought their little baby back to live in the palace again.This little guy born on the first day of the Lunar New Year has really become the heart of the old empress and the emperor.In the first three months, the weather was very cold, and they saw less. After the weather warmed up, the old lady basically asked Jia Yao to bring the baby with her every time she paid her respects.

This little baby who was named the grandson of the emperor at birth is indeed blessed, since he was born, he is not as prone to making troubles and not eating like those children of aristocratic families.In the past few months since he was born, he has been able to eat and sleep, and he looks as strong as his mother when she was a child.Unlike the old queen mother and the emperor who thought the child resembled his uncle, Mo Lanchang felt that the son resembled himself, while Mrs. Wang, who had seen it twice, felt that the grandson looked the most like a daughter.Her original words were like this, "Our eldest grandson really follows you. He is as strong and fat. You were like this when you were a child. You are bigger than other children and don't like to get sick." My grandson had some sweet dreams on the warm kang, and he kicked his chubby legs and smiled, and Mrs. Wang was even more happy, "Look, this smiling character is just like you, it makes people feel happy! "

At the full moon, the emperor gave his eldest grandson a name. The middle character is the word "Jing" practiced by the Mohist generation, and the last character, the old emperor circled the word "Huai" in a row of water radicals, among which No one else knows if she meant to "feel" someone, but Jia Yao heard the name sounds nice, and she didn't have much room to comment on it, so she respectfully thanked her for the word .

But when teasing her fat son in private, Jia Yao sometimes sees no one around her, and often gives out all kinds of nicknames. "Sweetie" and "baby" are common. Sometimes when she is happy, she even calls Her own son, "Wow", "Mimi", "Eggy" and "Shasha", once she just fed her son a few sips of water mixed with a little Xisuidan, and played with him for a while.Seeing the little stains on his body mixed with sweat, Jia Yao ordered the servants to prepare hot water and bathe her son herself.Little boys like to play with water, and the chubby little doll sitting in the small tub is no exception.He is now at the time when his eyes are developed enough to see things clearly, and everything he sees is very novel.He found that when the water he shot splashed on his mother concubine, it would darken the color of her concubine's clothes.He couldn't help but became more excited, waving his two little paws and slapping the water in the barrel.

Jia Yao washed her son, and she was happy in her heart, not caring at all that her son splashed water on her.She also wrapped both hands under the little guy's arms, leaned over and kissed the dripping little fat guy, "Mom's Angel" she murmured to herself. "AngelAngel, Myangel" my little angel.

Just at this moment, Mo Lanyan, who heard the servants say that the princess was bathing the emperor's grandson, came to look for them, so when he came in, he heard Jia Yao's "Angel".He raised his eyebrows, walked over and squatted down, and asked casually, "What do you call your son?"

Jia Yao tilted her head and saw him coming in.With a smile, he rolled up his sleeves and continued to bathe his son who was more excited when he saw the stupid father who would throw him high, and replied calmly, "Me? I call him Angel"

When Mo Lanyan heard this, she felt that this name was very good as a nickname.Angel, safe and auspicious, well-meaning and fluent. "It just so happens that our son should have a nickname, which is easy to pronounce. Why don't we call him Angel, and let him have a safe and auspicious life and a smooth and smooth life."

Jia Yao nodded in agreement.Seeing that her son was almost done washing, she directed Mo Lanyan to unfold the little fleece blanket.He picked up his fat son who had just received a nickname, stuffed it into the blanket his father was holding, and carried him back to Xinuange so that his son could take a nap.

This nickname has been called ever since.When the old queen heard her great-grandson's nickname, she also felt that it was easy to say. "Peace and auspiciousness. Peace and auspiciousness." Her wrinkled hands stroked the little doll's black, soft and short hair over and over again. "My little boy, I will naturally have a smooth, safe and auspicious life."

Now that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, the emperor made a special decree a few days ago that the two grandchildren's children should be present at the family banquet of the Dragon Boat Festival.After tidying up, Mo Lanyan and Jia Yao would naturally go there with the well-dressed Angel.

In the side hall, the old lady was already waiting there in her summer uniform, and beside her, the eldest princess, who was holding a little girl two months older than Angel, kept making fun of her.The old queen loves children, and has always loved her eldest grandson.Now that Mo Lanzhang has become the prince, she is less wary of her eldest grandson.Looking at the first girl of the eldest grandson is also a rare meal.However, when Jia Yao came over with her real precious great-grandson in her arms, the difference in the old lady's love for the two children immediately became apparent.

"Hey, Angel of Aijia." The old lady greeted the fat baby in Jia Yao's arms as soon as she saw the fat baby in Jia Yao's arms. Angel is sick, what's going on?"

Jia Yao smiled and replied, "It's not a big deal. It turned out that Angel had teeth and felt a little uncomfortable, and the teeth were also uncomfortable. She could eat, but a few days ago she cared more about our food. I don’t want him to act like a baby, as long as I see him asking for it, I will give it. The night before, I ate accumulated food and had a stomachache at night. This alarmed the imperial physician. These days, I have followed the imperial physician’s order, except for drinking milk every day, I will give it to him Some rice paste to eat. It’s all right.”

The old queen thought very much, "No. Parents are afraid that the child will be hungry! But our Angel is easy to raise and is willing to eat. But children have weak stomachs, and food accumulation is common. What does he understand? , how do you know how to be restrained. You husband and wife are young, so you should pay more attention."

Jia Yao nodded in agreement, "Angie is indeed able to eat. I ate rice paste this morning, and when he saw the noodles I ate, he always wanted them. I picked up a short one and asked him to suck it in. I will sip it by myself later. After taking a sip, he swallowed it with relish. He still wants it from me. I don’t know that the thing is tasteless, so how can he eat it so enthusiastically.”

The old queen was very happy when she heard it, "That's the way it is."

They talked happily, but Angel was excited about other things in the arms of the old lady.Because Mo Fangting, the little princess of the eldest prince's concubine's family, was a little thin and weak since she was born, and she was the first one in the eldest prince's family, and she was well-raised.Therefore, it is not often hugged out.Ever since she was born, Angel has always seen adults. This is the first time she has seen a doll just like herself.

When he was happy, he became restless, and kept reaching out to the little girl, wanting to play with her.Children are always willing to find children to play with, the little princess saw him, although she was a bit shy.But those eyes looked at Angel in the slightest, as if they wanted to come over and play together.

The old queen was happy to see their little appearance, and ordered people to carry the two children to the kang table, and ordered people to watch them play happily.Seeing that the two of them got along well, they turned around and talked about other things.

Naturally, women can't go to court in advance when they are together, so they just talk about food and maintenance together, and the parents are short.It can also pass the time.I was talking happily when I was interrupted by the cry of a child.

It was two children who had a quarrel.

Each family picked up their children, comforting them all.The old queen mother watched the two granddaughters-in-law coaxing the child, and turned her head to turn her anger on the palace servant who ordered to watch the child, "What's going on? Why did the little master cry? What did the Ai family tell you just now? Tell me !what happened!"

The two maids were trembling, knelt on the ground and explained the matter clearly. It turned out that the two children liked the red leather rattle embroidered with five poisons, so they grabbed it.Although the little princess was two months older than Angel, but because she was always stronger, she snatched the rattle and gave the little princess a slap in the face.That little girl is also the baby of the family, she has always been coaxed and coddled by others, how could she have suffered such grievances.He opened his mouth and began to cry.Angel saw her crying. He had been beaten twice just now, so he probably felt the pain and started crying too.

The old queen mother was silent for a long while listening to the palace servants narrating the whole story.In fact, it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong in this matter, but an elder is always biased.Although it was Angel who scratched Mo Fangting with a red mark, it seemed that the little princess suffered more grievances.However, the old queen mother couldn't bear to blame Angel, who was five points similar to her deceased son, so she could only blame the palace servants for not taking good care of her.

The eldest concubine was quite happy at first, and she has always tolerated having a city.However, when I was wronged, I could still put on a good face, but when my daughter was scratched for a while, a red mark was left on her face, and she couldn't calm down at all.The old queen made it clear that she didn't want to criticize her darling one by one.She could only swallow her voice.It's just that his face is gloomy.

Jia Yao looked down at the little doll who had stopped crying and was laughing while holding the rattle, but she sighed in her heart.She only wants such a child, so she must raise him well.Thousands of people have coaxed thousands of people to love since childhood, this child will definitely have many problems when he grows up, not to mention being arrogant and arrogant.Although she also wanted to pamper him to the end, but seeing Mo Lanyan's heart softening when she saw her son's tears, Jia Yao had no choice but to put on a straight face and act like a bad person.

Holding Angel in his arms, he walked up to the sobbing little princess, pulled out the non-toxic red leather rattle from his son's hand, and stuffed it into the tearful little princess's hand.She patted Angel's chubby hand twice again, the force was light, but Jia Yao lowered her face like never before, and said to Angel with a serious face, "Don't be so domineering in the future, do you understand?"

The little baby has never been scolded before, seeing that the mother and concubine who has always been so fond of him not only did not comfort him, but also lowered his face, and gave the little toy to the little girl who had just snatched it from him, he was stunned.The next second he reacted, he was extremely wronged, and he wanted to cry when he opened his mouth.

Tears fell from his eyes and wet Jia Yao's side face.Jia Yao is a mother, and her son is crying beside her, she must feel distressed in her heart, but if she didn't harden her heart the first time, how will she discipline her in the future?She just hardened her heart and ignored him, turning her head and not looking at him.

The old lady couldn't take it anymore, and complained to Jia Yao, "What does he know as a child, why are you being so strict with him!" It is wrong to say that Jia Yao disciplined too much.

Naturally, Jia Yao couldn't really listen to the old lady.If the child is given to the old lady to discipline, it will be really terrible in the future. "My daughter-in-law is afraid that he will be too spoiled, and if he develops a domineering temperament in the future, won't he live up to the expectations of the emperor's grandmother and father for the child."

Angel sobbed for a while by herself.But the mother and concubine ignored him, and no one came to coax him.He didn't cry much since childhood.Thinking to myself, I slowly stopped crying.Only the eyes are still red.

He turned his head to look at his mother, but Jia Yao just tilted her head and refused to talk to him.The little baby is a little timid at the moment, vaguely feeling that the concubine mother does not agree with her behavior just now.Of course, he was so young that he still couldn't realize where his mistake was.But anyway, in his young mind, he vaguely understood that he, who has been spoiled by everyone since he was born, is not the only one who can respect himself.

"Mom," children are very forgetful, and now they forget the grievance just now.Seeing that his mother and concubine refused to talk to him, he raised his small hand and grabbed Jia Yao's shirt, trying to attract attention.

Jia Yao was also reluctant to keep him cold for too long.Seeing that he stopped crying, he lowered his head and wiped away the tears on his little face, "You are not allowed to be so domineering in the future, and you are not allowed to bully your sisters and sisters, do you know?" Her voice was still full of tears. Very serious, but much softer than before.

The silly son didn't know what his mother meant, but he was happy to see that Jia Yao answered him.He grinned again to show people his small teeth as big as a grain of rice.Jia Yao also smiled at him. From the corner of her eye, she saw that the old lady's face was not as bright as before, and she sighed inwardly, "Little fool, don't grow bad. Mom wants to educate you, but you are old The ancestors are all offended."

But so what?In a mother's heart, children are always the most important thing.Even if she tried her best to offend the whole world, she still had to do her best to raise him, polish him, and educate him.It wasn't until he grew into a tree, able to maintain a tall and straight figure by himself, and grow healthy and straight by himself, that she was able to sit on the ground and leave with peace of mind.

Love him and nurture him.It is her right and also her greatest obligation in this life.
