The Queen of the Red Chamber is a little flustered

The situation in the capital was on the verge of breaking out, and the strings in everyone's hearts were tense. However, the three baptisms in Duanwang's Mansion were held in a grand manner.

The last time Yonghao was born, Tu Mingjin was still a bald prince, but this time he is already a county king, not to mention that Princess Duan gave birth to twins, not to mention women, even officials who were offended by Tu Mingjin The ministers all wanted to come to rejoice, and the little girl was named princess by Emperor Tiansheng, the threshold of Duanwang's mansion was about to be broken.

Several princes came to the door with their wives and generous gifts, regardless of whether the prince and the first prince were plotting to rebel, they still pretended nothing had happened, walked to the door with a smile, patted Tu Mingjin on the shoulder, and said congratulations.

With the aunt sent by the queen and the nanny in the mansion, Gu Qinyuan really didn't have to worry about it. Whether it was the arrangement of the banquet seats, or the food and drinks at each table, even the utensils for the children to wash for three hours were all watched by a special person.

Mrs. Zheng reached out and tapped Gu Qinyuan's forehead, "There is no other daughter-in-law whose life is more satisfying than yours. Look at you as a shopkeeper." She said so, but she was very relieved in her heart.

Gu Qinyuan just pursed her lips and smiled, leaned on Zheng's shoulder, and called out sweetly, "Mother."

Mrs. Zheng pushed her away lightly, and gave her a bad look, "Newly made clothes, don't rub your oily hair that hasn't been washed for a few days."

Gu Qinyuan pouted, rubbed her arms against Mrs. Zheng, and made the old lady laugh, "Come on, come on, let your sister-in-law and the others come and accompany you, I'll see my grandson."

After Mrs. Zheng left, Gu Qinyuan hurriedly beckoned for beeswax to comb her hair. With this greasy look, seeing her mother was fine, she felt awkward seeing other people, and she didn't know how Tu Mingjin could kiss her.

It's hard to have a baby and confinement in summer. It's stuffy and hot in the house. One or two ice basins are better than nothing, and you can't wash your hair and take a bath. If you want to breathe, you can only open the windows a small crack.

The conditions these days are no better than modern times, even though she has golden fingers, Gu Qinyuan dare not mess around, but although she can't wash and wash, she can at least wipe her body, which is still tolerable.

Su Shi, Gu Qinting and Jia Min guarded the children in the cubicle. The old lady and Gu Qinyuan, mother and daughter, whispered to each other, so they couldn't disturb them.

The children in the cubicle, apart from the twins, are Xin Ning and Gu Xiaosan from the Su family, and Lin Yu from Jia Min.

Yonghao is the eldest son of Prince Duan's Mansion, he has his own errands, and he is entertaining his cousins ​​and cousins ​​in the front yard at the moment, not in the main courtyard.

Gu Xiaosan and Lin Yu are about the same age, have similar temperaments, and they are close. They have become good brothers. They are not interested in babies. After seeing the twins, they chat about the books they read recently and the games they played.

Xinning is already a ten-year-old girl, exquisite and well-behaved, well-educated and courteous. When her mother chats with her aunts, she stays by the side and watches the nanny dress up her younger cousins.

The nanny wanted to scrub the child, and Su stepped forward to help, so Jia Min leaned into Gu Qinting's ear and whispered, "Sister-in-law, is Lian'er having a temper tantrum today?"

Jia Lian is nine years old this year. He grew up with Xin Ning. He likes Xin Ning as a cousin very much. However, men and women have different seats when they are seven years old. He got up early in the morning and put on the newly made clothes, and asked Jia Hu shyly how she looked like?

Jia Hu's mood is only known to him, but Gu Qinting was disturbed by Jia Lian in the carriage. When he arrived at Duan Wang Mansion, Gu Qinting waved his hand and hurriedly asked Jia Hu to take Jia Lian to the front yard. Let him see Xinning.

Hearing Jia Min talking about the youngest son, Gu Qinting's heart inevitably moved. She raised her eyes to look at her niece, the youngest son and Xinning...

When the sisters were talking, Gu Qinting mentioned this idea to Gu Qinyuan.

Gu Qinyuan's expression is a bit subtle, Xinning is older than Lian Er, don't mention it in advance, isn't Lian Er's official partner Wang Xifeng?Besides, Lian Er's reputation in the Red Mansion was not much better than his father's. If it hadn't been for the unlucky emperor's marriage and Jia Amnesty didn't look so bad, her sister really wouldn't have anything to do with the Jia family.

Although the current Lian Er is taught by her sister and Hu'er, it doesn't look so unreliable, but if the third brother and the third sister-in-law were to choose, Hu'er would probably be chosen.

No, Gu Qinyuan shook her head, not even the Jia brothers, to be exact, not even the cousins.

In ancient times, people liked to get closer and closer. Cousins ​​and cousins ​​grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and it seemed like a very good thing to be married in the future.This is the case even in modern society.

However, the official propaganda in the previous life that close relatives who have been close relatives for so many years cannot marry, naturally has a basis.

In her previous life, when Gu Qinyuan was young, she saw a child born to a close relative in an orphanage, and it was so deformed that it was scary to see it.Although the child has a good temperament, there are not many children who are willing to play with him. After being adopted by his grandmother, Gu Qinyuan never heard from him again.

Of course, it doesn't mean that as long as close relatives marry, there must be problems with the children born, but is it really necessary to gamble with the health of the offspring?

Gu Qinyuan does not believe that the children born on behalf of brothers and sisters are all healthy in this era, and the newborn babies of wealthy families are abnormal, and they will be disposed of early, or they will be adopted in a temple, so the children who go out to see them on weekdays are normal Yes, but the body will be weaker.

As for the children of poor families, Gu Qinyuan doesn't know much about it, but if someone checks it out, the expected results will surprise people of this era.

A few imperial wives were chatting with other wives, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Su were looking after the children in the cubicle, Jia Min was talking to a lady from the Hanlin family, the wives and wives got together, and Gu Qinyuan was vacant, and the two sisters Speak softly so no one else can hear you.

Gu Qinyuan lowered her voice and said, "They are still young, why is sister so anxious?"

"Isn't it good to make a decision early?" Gu Qinting said, "Xinning is so good, I would like to take it home." She was just thinking about it for herself earlier, but when she talked to Gu Qinyuan now, her heart The idea is getting stronger and stronger, but I don't know if my brother and sister-in-law like Lian'er?

Looking at her sister's face, Gu Qinyuan knew that it was not good to bring up this matter again today. Cousins ​​and brothers marrying offspring would be harmful, and there was no record in the books. Even if Gu Qinting knew that she knew medical skills, she probably would not believe it.

Gu Qinyuan thought that she had to send someone to investigate, and when her sister saw the facts, she would give up the idea.

I just don't know if her sister's statement that Lian Er is interested in Xin Ning is true. If it is true, then she, as a aunt, can only beat the mandarin ducks.However, how old is Lian Er this year? Are you looking forward to marrying a wife?

When the time came, the two children were carried forward by the nanny, and the wives in the house followed.

Gu Qinyuan was confinement and couldn't get out of bed. A few maids ran up and down. After a while, she said that the birth mother was bathing the two young masters. The second son howled loudly, and the little princess also cried. It is also said that the princesses and wives have added a lot of golden nudes.

Even if she didn't go out, Gu Qinyuan knew how lively it was outside.

The women added pots, and the men did not give in. The prince even put the jade pendant around his waist into it. Although it was not a gift from the emperor, it was also a rare treasure.

The nanny's eyes lit up immediately, and the smile on her face grew bigger and bigger. This trip was really worth it.

After the process was over, several princes stepped forward to hug the child.

The fifth prince hugged him for a while in a daze. Before he went out, he wanted to bring all the wives and concubines with him, so that he could be happy and try to give birth to a son as soon as possible.He was stopped by the fifth concubine Haoxuan, how could he bring a concubine as a guest at his younger brother's house.

The fifth prince was depressed. Several grown-up brothers had sons in their families, but he only had a few yellow-haired girls.Concubine Zhen was also in a hurry, not to mention fighting for the throne without a son, how would others be willing to support you, but to say that no one would die without a son.

The imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital have to go to the Fifth Prince’s Mansion three times a month, and the Zhen family has also sent several famous doctors to the Prince’s Mansion. The side concubines and concubines in the Prince’s Mansion have to pack the dregs left by drinking birth medicine every day. .

But several years have passed, not to mention sons, not even daughters.

After tossing and tossing for so long, people couldn't help but glance at the fifth prince. Could it be that there is something wrong with the fifth prince?

For several months, the fifth prince could feel that others were looking at him three inches below his belly button, and his "good" brothers looked at each other gloatingly and wanted to beat them up.

The fifth prince was furious, but he couldn't run to explain to others that he was good at it, really good at it.

After pointing at his wives and concubines and scolding him in the mansion, the fifth prince sent someone out to talk, and took a few daughters out for a walk from time to time. After such a round, no one said he couldn't do it. After all, there are still a few small counties The Lord is not.

Now that he was holding Tu Mingjin's youngest son, the fifth prince's eyes were red. It would be great if this was his son.

Tu Mingjin frowned and said, "Fifth brother, the feast is over, and the nanny is waiting to take the child back." Tu Lao Wu thought his son would not give birth by himself, so he was so jealous of holding his son.

Immediately he winked at the nanny, if he was not afraid of hurting the child, he really wanted to go up and snatch his son back.

The nanny blessed the fifth prince and stretched out her hand to pick up the little master.

When Tu Mingjin said this, the fifth prince didn't want his brothers to laugh at him, so he returned the child to the nanny.

The other princes sneered in their hearts, as the fifth child deserves to have no sons.

The children were carried back into the house, and Mother Zhao told Gu Qinyuan about the previous matter, and Gu Qinyuan nodded to show that she understood.

The brothers fought back and forth, and there was a boundary in each other's hearts, and they really never did anything to the child.As for why the fifth prince hugged his son and did not let go, everyone probably knows.

It was a lively day ahead, and everyone dispersed one after another. Gu Qinyuan coaxed the two children to sleep, and Tu Mingjin sat beside them.

"Xisan is so lively, but the full moon wine should be more low-key?" Gu Qinyuan was a little worried, Beijing is not peaceful, so it's not good to show off like this.

Tu Mingjin didn't make a sound for a long time, Gu Qinyuan couldn't help but look at him, and patted his hand again.

Tu Mingjin came back to his senses, and said with apology in his eyes: "I'm afraid the two children's full moon wine will not be able to be done."

"Why?" Gu Qinyuan asked.

"There is news from the palace that Father is planning to go hunting in Iron Net Mountain next month." Tu Mingjin lowered his eyelids slightly, and reached out to touch the little girl's little hand, "At that time, all the brothers will go with them, and Uncle Heng will supervise the court." .”

Gu Qinyuan was startled, is it about to start?

"The two children have been wronged." Tu Mingjin sighed.

Gu Qinyuan was very upset, her eyes were slightly red, but she managed to force a smile, "The two of them don't know how to be wronged, and they just need to make up for it when they catch up."

Tu Mingjin hugged her, stroked her back and said softly: "Yuanyuan, don't worry, I will come back safely."
