[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Xue was full of experience, and was afraid that Baochai would suffer confinement if she was not careful. Baochai was not a person who didn't know what to do, so she responded meekly.

I have no experience, and I still don't listen to the words of the elders. Is it because I want to wait for the whole body to suffer?Isn't it just not washing your hair, taking a bath, or brushing your teeth for a month? To be honest, such a small difficulty is much lighter than the pain of giving birth.

As soon as Baochai woke up, the maids and women serving in the delivery room got busy. Yinger and Hongjin helped Baochai to sit on the toilet and changed into a new pair of underwear. Spread a layer of clean straw paper, and Yu Huan went to the kitchen to get food.

These movements soon woke up the old lady who was catching up on sleep on the outer couch.

The old lady had just given birth to a white and fat grandson, and she was smiling even in her dreams. Although she didn't sleep for a long time, when she opened her eyes, the first thing she said was: "Where's my grandson?"

"It's inside." Yuxi replied with a smile, "Mrs. Xue brought Master Xue and Mrs. Xue over."

As soon as she heard that her in-laws had arrived, the old lady got up quickly, brushed the bun behind her head, and walked inside.

Mrs. Xue was holding the child, watching the maids and women working. When she saw the old lady coming in, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Old lady, did you wake up? I heard from my son-in-law that you also stayed up all night last night." , should go back to the house and have a good rest."

"I'm not tired. My spirit has never been so good." The old lady walked up to Mrs. Xue, stared at the baby in her arms, and narrowed her eyes with a smile. If you can live another 20 years, you have to watch him get married and start a business."

"Hahaha." Mrs. Xue said with a smile, "That's right, if you have a happy event, you will live younger and younger. In the future, you, the old man, will hold his eyes and help him choose a capable granddaughter-in-law!"

The old lady nodded and responded with a hearty smile.

Mrs. Xue knew that the old lady cared about her grandson, so she handed over the swaddle: "The old lady, come and give him a hug."

The old lady was really looking forward to it, she was too embarrassed to fight with her in-laws just now, before she reached out her hand, Yuxi brought in a pot of hot water and said with a smile: "Old lady, you should wash your face first."

The old lady quickly withdrew her hand and looked at Mrs. Xue: "Hold it first, and I'll go wash up, so as not to stink my eldest grandson."

Jia Yucun was talking with Xue Pan in the side hall, Xiangling listened carefully to the movement in the room over there, and said to them, "It seems that the old lady has woken up."

Xue Pan stood up and smiled embarrassedly: "I haven't greeted the old lady yet."

"Sit down first, I'll ask my mother to come over."

Jia Yucun entered the delivery room, and Baochai had just cleaned up his personal hygiene within a limited range, and now he was sitting on the bedside waiting for dinner.

Jia Yucun walked over to look at her, then turned to Yinger and asked, "Why don't you bring the food?"

"Sister Yuhuan just left, I'll go take a look."

Ying'er was about to leave when the old lady stopped her and said to her son: "I don't understand what kind of temperament Yuhuan is? She handles things steadily and never slackens. Everything she eats during confinement is freshly made and eaten." , don’t you want to get some leftovers from cold soup? It’ll be here after a while.”

After saying this, Yuxi also combed the old lady's hair.

Mrs. Xue nodded, agreeing with the old lady's words: "It's like chicken soup can still be simmered on the stove after it's done. Don't you have to cook and eat other foods? You have to wait for a while."

Only then did Jia Yucun relax, remembering that his mother hadn't had breakfast yet, she said to Ying'er, "The old lady hasn't eaten yet, remember to bring a double portion."

The old lady waved her hand cheerfully: "I can't eat now, I had some snacks before going to bed."

Jia Yucun was afraid that the crowd would disturb Baochai, so he invited everyone to the side hall next door, and before leaving, he whispered to Baochai, "I'll come back to see you later."

Baochai smiled at him: "You go, I'm fine here."

When the group arrived at the side hall, Mrs. Xue was still holding her grandson in her arms. After the old lady sat down, she passed the grandson over and asked her son-in-law, "Have you named it yet?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago." Jia Yucun nodded with a smile, "I originally had six names, three boys and three girls. This child was born in the morning, so let's call him Jia Chao."

He turned his head and looked outside, the morning sun poured down, covering everything like a layer of golden light, he said slowly: "Chao, the beginning of a day, the dawn is rising, full of vitality and vigor."

Jia Hua, the nickname of Jia Yucun, Yucun is just another name, so his son has to follow this, and the surname and first name are only two characters.

The old lady and Mrs. Xue nodded frequently and said repeatedly that the meaning was good, and the name was auspicious and nice. The old lady even called "Chao'er" to her grandson.

No matter how hard Xue Pan practices calligraphy and memorizes the three-character scriptures, he will not be able to change the fact that he is an idiot in a short period of time. Seeing that it will be his turn to be a father in eight or nine months, the child's name has not yet been given!

My brother-in-law is a Jinshi in two rankings, full of talent in poetry and writing, and the name he came up with is catchy and simple, and he can't call his nephew Jia Chao, but he names Xuemao Xuegou for his own child, right?

So, Xue Pan smiled shyly and asked Jia Yucun flatteringly: "Brother-in-law, since you can't use the remaining names, why don't you lend them to me? Xiangling will be born next year."

"..." Jia Yucun didn't want to give it to him, who said it wouldn't work?It took him a long time to decide on these names, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was his hard work.When Baochai has a second child in the future, don't bother thinking about it, just pick one from among them.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that the name is also particular. The time of landing, the surname, etc. must be considered comprehensively." Jia Yucun slowly explained, "How about this, wait for Xiangling to give birth. , I'll help you think about it again, what do you think?"

"Alright." Xue Pan slapped his hands happily, as if he was relieved, "Brother-in-law, you just agree, and I will count on you when the time comes."

Mrs. Xue also smiled: "Let the son-in-law choose the big name, but you can decide the nickname by yourself."

Xue Pan smirked: "Just a nickname is embarrassing enough, I really can't figure it out." He said, thinking about it seriously, "There is a pot of peonies and a pot of hibiscus in the yard, girls You can call it this. Boys, I can only think about the other side of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which one do you think is better?"

There was a sudden silence in the room.

The old lady had a deeper understanding of Young Master Xue's foolishness, and hurriedly lowered her head to look at Chao'er, washing her eyes.

Jia Yucun drank tea from a teacup, pretending that he was thirsty.

Xue was already stunned, what kind of names are he thinking about?It sounds like you are calling a girl or a servant. Stand on the street and call out, and take care of finding three or four servants with the same name.

Even Xiangling, who has always been gentle and docile, couldn't help protesting, and said in a soft voice: "In my opinion, it's better not to have a nickname?"

Xiang Ling's words broke the silence in the room, and everyone came back to life in an instant, Xue Shi nodded repeatedly: "It's fine to call you by your first name, but you don't need a nickname."

The old lady nodded accordingly: "The wife in-law is right, like our Chao'er, we don't have another nickname, and we can be affectionate when we call like that."

Xue Pan was a little unhappy, and he thought about it very seriously, why didn't everyone join in?He felt a little sad.

After Xiangling finished speaking, she realized that she had disrespected the young master in front of others, and hurriedly said, "I'll go see the girl." Then she hid in the delivery room to accompany Baochai.

Although Jia Yucun doesn't have to go to work today, he still has a lot of things to do, so it is impossible to stay at home with Xue Pan all the time.Besides, Xiangling is also pregnant, so staying at someone else's house is not as comfortable as staying at your own.

So, Mrs. Xue said to her son: "I have also seen your sister. You take Xiangling home, and I will not go back. I will stay and take care of Baochai for a few days."

Mrs. Song was very happy: "I really wish for you to stay. It just so happens that we are talking."

The old lady likes to chat with Mrs. Xue. Since the Xue family moved away, she can only talk to Yuhuan and Yuxi to relieve boredom. down.

Xue said with a smile: "Then I'll have the cheek to live there until I wash three times before going back."

Jia Yucun naturally also welcomed his mother-in-law. One more person took care of Baochai, and Baochai recovered faster. He hurriedly went out and ordered the housekeeper to clean the guest room for Mrs. Xue. up.

"Jia Chao?" Baochai said twice, "It's very nice, so let's call it that."

Jia Yucun still had to arrange various matters related to Sansan, so Xue Pan didn't want to disturb him too much, so he called Xiangling out to say goodbye and go home.

When Xiangling came out of the delivery room, she looked anxious, but Xue Pan was a careless person, and she had already forgotten the unhappiness just now.

When he came back to his senses, he also felt that the nicknames he had chosen were not pleasant, so he might as well just be like his nephew and just call him by his first name.

Mrs. Xue stayed and helped Baochai very well with the old lady, and her complexion gradually became rosy.

Soon it was the day of Xisan, Jia Yucun only sent a post to invite a few familiar relatives and friends, but many people came uninvited, the gate was noisy, and the guests came in wave after wave like going to a market.

There were many male customers and more female customers, and Baochai couldn't come out to entertain in person during confinement. Fortunately, there was Mrs. Xue, and after working with the old lady for a long time, he finally greeted them more fully.

Almost all the female guests are official wives, except for Mrs. Chen.The Xue family used to deal with the officials when they were in power, so the Xue family handled it with ease, with a warm and unflattering attitude, which made the female guests have a better impression of her.

Jia Chao was carried out by Jia Yucun, walked around among the female customers, then went around to the male customers in the front yard, and then was handed over to the nanny to carry him back.

Ying'er followed closely, and when she came back, she had an extra basin in her hand. The basin was shining golden, and it was full of baptisms thrown in by the guests.

Among these gifts, the Xue family added another pot. After Baochai heard about it, she blamed Xue: "I gave gifts last time, why give it again? It is not easy for my brother to make money, and my sister-in-law will give birth next year. It is time to pay the money." saved."

Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "Although the family's business can't be compared with that of my uncle, it can still earn money from the family, and there is still some leftovers. Our family relies on the help of my uncle to make it today, and besides, I have you to give me money." The 1000 taels I bought were just two extra pairs of small gold bracelets, which should be done."

Baochai didn't speak any more, but secretly planned to wait until Xiangling gave birth next year, and she would make up for it with some more gifts.
