The Housekeeper's Daughter-in-law of the Red House

It is not surprising that the Fu family has such thoughts. Fu Qiufang was originally three years younger than Jia Zhu. In the original book, Jia Zhu died early. Naturally, the Fu family would not think about letting Fu Qiufang marry into the Jia family.But now that Jia Zhu is not dead, and Wang Xifeng is a chicken coop who doesn't lay eggs, Fu Shi was originally flattering Jia Zheng, so he is not happy about this situation, but the last bit of face is not exposed He didn't say it to his face.

Fengguan what kind of image Jia Zheng is in the eyes of others, in the eyes of the Fu family, Jia Zheng is the famous second master of the Duke's Mansion, he has tasted the benefits of Jia Zheng, so naturally he is not willing to let go at the moment Yes, besides, others are not as good at fooling around as Jia Zheng, right?

However, apart from the Fu family, only Lin Zhixiao saw this matter. Lin Zhixiao knew that his daughter-in-law had a deep relationship with the mistress of Jia's family, so he didn't dare to tell Shulan about this, for fear that she would be impulsive. What happened again.

Both Chen's mother and daughter are safe, Lin Zhixiao and Shulan let go of what they had been raising all the time, now it's getting late, after saying a few more words, the two fell asleep.

Perhaps there is an extra baby in the family. Even though she slept a little late last night, Shulan woke up early the next morning. This little baby is much happier than Lin Shuyu and Lin Hongyu. Shulan gave birth to Lin Shuyu and Lin Hongyu. At that time, he was still a servant of the Jia family.But now this little baby's parents are officials, her aunt is still the Concubine De in the palace, and her cousin is the current Prince Zhongheng (canonized by the emperor after he ascended the throne), this must be a big deal!

People in the capital believe that there are two major events in life: one is the "washing three" three days after birth;

Shulan didn't think about wronging her little baby, so when she got up early in the morning, she sent people to deliver letters everywhere, in addition to informing them that the grandma of the Lin family had given birth to a girl, and there would be three baptisms two days later. Just let me know if you come, so she can arrange a banquet.

Before the three baptisms, the Lin family prepared the navel hairpin, apron cloth, hearth stove (a kind of snack), millet, and gold and silver scorpion (if not available, replace it with yellow and white jewelry) according to the requirements of the newborn grandma. What flowers, flowers, roses, buckets, locks, scales, small mirrors, toothbrushes, tongue scrapers, green cloth tips, green tea leaves, new combs, new cages, rouge powder, pig pancreas soap balls , new towels, copper tea trays, green onions, ginger slices, mugwort balls, baking baskets, incense candles, money and grain paper yards, raw and cooked eggs, sticks and so on.It is also necessary to boil Huai Tiao Pu AI water, and use rouge to dye red Guiyuan, lychees, raw peanuts, and some chestnuts.

Although these things are trivial, fortunately Shulan is now a wife-level figure, as long as these things are ordered, the subordinates will naturally do them.

On the day of the three rites, the main door of the Lin family opened wide to welcome relatives, friends and close friends.The gifts given by the guests for the three ceremonies are also very particular. They don’t seek expensive ones but seek good meanings. Even if they want to show off their wealth, they have to honestly give some cheap things with good meanings, such as Oil cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus crock stoves, broken edge crock stoves, eggs, brown sugar and other foods, or clothes, shoes, socks, etc. used by children.

This banquet is also very particular, the staple food must be noodles, commonly known as "washing three noodles", after the "washing three noodles" are used, other foods will be served one after another.

According to the rules, the admission grandma had to sit in the front seat and be treated as a guest of honor.After waiting for the grannies to eat, the ceremony began. According to Shulan, the grannies had to be fed before they started to work.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Shulan asked someone to dress the baby in new clothes. Lin Shuyu accompanied Lin Zhixiao to carry her to the hall to worship the gods and ancestors. Offering sacrifices, such as Zhusheng Empress, Sending Empress, Bed Mother, Mazu, Guanyin, etc., pray for blessings.

The offerings for worshiping the gods and offering sacrifices to the ancestors are three animal wines, chicken wine and oiled rice. It should be noted that the chicken feet of the offerings at this time must be stretched straight and not folded inward, as a sign of the development of the baby's legs and legs. In addition, the wine must be poured at once. It’s good to be full, there is no need to divide it into three times, so that the baby will not urinate everywhere and have rules. After worshiping the gods, Lin Zhixiao gave the baby a baby name: Da Ya.

Waiting for a sauced duck to eat, the grandma who took the baby had finished eating and drinking, watched the baby come and looked at the sky, then nodded in a pretentious way and said: "The auspicious time has come, let's start!" !"

I saw that the admission grandmother set up an incense table on the front of the outer hall of the delivery room, enshrining thirteen gods, including Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Empress, Yunxiao Empress, Cuisheng Empress, Sending Son Empress, Bean Sore Empress, and Vision Empress.There is millet in the censer, which is used as incense ash.A pair of "small double bags" (mutton oil and small red wax specially used for sacrifices) are inserted on the wax skewer, and yellow coins, ingots, and thousand pieces of money and food for worshiping the gods are pressed below.

On the kang head in the maternal bedroom, there are statues of "Kang Gong and Kang Mother" according to the words of the maternity grandmother, and three to five bowls of sweet-scented osmanthus or oil cakes are used as offerings.As usual, the admission grandma offered incense and kowtowed, and the others followed suit.

Then, under the instructions of the newborn grandma, the servants of the Lin family put the copper basin containing the soup made of locust leaves and mugwort leaves and all the ceremonial items on the kang.At this time, the grandma who gave birth took the baby in her arms, and the prelude to "washing three" kicked off.

First, several masters of the Lin family took the lead in adding a small spoonful of water to the basin according to their seniority, and then put some coins, which is called "adding the basin".If you add gold and silver curds, put coins in the basin, and if you add banknotes and tickets, put them in the tea tray.In addition, you can also add some happy fruits such as longan, litchi, red dates, peanuts, and chestnuts.

After waiting for Lin Zhixiao, Shulan and others to add pots, relatives and friends followed suit, and ordinary pots were not out of the ordinary. After hearing the news, the jade pendant sent by Concubine De in the palace won the first prize. , This is also within everyone's expectations. Everyone has long known that Concubine De is very kind to her only relative, the eldest grandma of the Lin family, and seeing her today really deserves her reputation.

The admission grandma has a fixed set of congratulations, what you add, what she says.If you add clear water, she will say, "Long flowing water, smart and clever"; if you add some jujube, Guiyuan, chestnuts and other happy fruits, she will say: "Zaoer Lizi ("Zao" and "Zao" are homophonic, "Li" and "Li" are homophonic), Liansheng Guizi ("Gui" and "Gui" are homophonic); Guiyuan, Guiyuan, Lianzhong Sanyuan."

Normally, she would just say a few words, but after the jade pendant that Concubine De sent someone to add to the pot, the newborn grandma spread her good words without money, and the smile on her face deepened a lot. Gein, wait a minute, these things are all hers.

After "refilling the pot", the grandma took up the mallet and stirred it into the pot, saying: "Stir it once, stir it twice, and stir it three times. The elder brother leads the younger brother to run. Seventy children, eighty children, crooked children, naughty children , Xilihulu is here!" Then began to bathe the baby.

When a child catches a cold and cries, not only does it not break the taboo, but it is considered auspicious, so it is called "sounding basin".While washing, he chanted his congratulatory words, "wash your hair first, and become a prince; wash your waist later, and one generation will be higher than the previous generation; wash your eggs, and become a county magistrate; wash your ditch, and become a magistrate of a state."Then, light it with mugwort leaf balls, and place it on the baby's forehead with ginger slices as a support, and burn it symbolically.

Comb the baby's hair and dress up again, say something like "Three combs, two combs, wear a red top when you grow up; draw eyebrows on the left, and temples on the right, find a son-in-law for the fourth village; brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, and talk to people Don’t lose your face.” Roll the egg on the baby’s face and say, “Roll the egg on the face, the face is like an egg skin, the willow red is like white, you are really a lover.” Then use it in a wine cup and soak it in sesame oil for three days. Good embroidery needles quickly pierce the eyes of the little baby's ears.

After the tie-up was finished, the little baby burst into tears, and the grandma who took the baby tied up the baby quickly, and lightly hit the body three times with a green onion, saying: "One dozen smart ("Cong" and "scallion" homophonic), two Hit Lingli." Then ask someone to throw the onion on the roof (it means to wish the child will be extremely smart in the future).

Pick up the weight and make a few gestures, saying: "The weight is small and weighs a thousand catties (I wish the child will have a pivotal position in the family and society when he grows up). Pick up the lock and make three gestures: Say: "Grow up, head tight, feet tight, Tight hands". (I wish the children will grow up to be steady and cautious).

Then put the baby in the tea tray, tuck the baby with the gold and silver zippers or jewelry prepared by the family in advance, and say: "Tuck the gold on the left and the silver on the right. If you can't spend it, reward the next person" (I wish the child grows up) Later, Fu Dalu will have great wealth and fortune).Finally, use a small mirror to take a picture of the baby's buttocks, and say: "Use a mirror to take a picture of the baby's buttocks, and the poop during the day will be clean."

Then I sifted a few paper pomegranates into the oven and said: "Gardenias, jasmines, peaches, apricots, roses, tuberoses, and pimples are sparse..." No or less smallpox, healthy growth without disaster).

At this point, please take the empress's yard, god-worshiping money and food, and incense roots together, and send them to the courtyard for incineration.The admission grandma used copper chopsticks to hold the magic code of "Kang Gong and Kang Mother" and said: "Kang Gong and Kang Mother's surname is Li, adults and children will be handed over to you; send more boys and less girls." The ashes were wrapped in red paper and pressed under the kang mat, saying that they would stay at the top of the kang forever, and bless adults and children to be safe.Afterwards, he greeted everyone in the Lin family with a "Congratulations" in order to ask for a few rewards.

Lin Zhixiao and Shulan naturally knew this rule, and quickly gave red envelopes to the admission grandma.It can be said that there are a lot of extra money for the birth of grandma on this day. Everyone added pots of gold and silver, jewelry, fresh ocean, copper, apron cloth, millet for incense ashes, eggs, xiguo, and scattered offerings. Jian'er - osmanthus crock pot, oil cake... She took all the brains away. It can be said that it can't be opened, and it can be eaten for three years once it opens!

Now that he got the red envelopes from Lin Zhixiao and Shulan again, he was even more overjoyed, and he didn't want to risk money out of good words.

After the three rites, the guests often said their farewells, but the close relatives and friends stayed behind, looked at Da Ya, congratulated Lin Zhixiao, Shulan and the others, and exchanged feelings by the way.

Shulan is happy today, but she never refuses anyone who comes. No matter who comes, she always has a smiling face, but her tone is still very tight. She will never agree to anything related to government affairs. She can do it not the Lord.
