"congratulations!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Cao on the news of Lin'er!"
Many people came to congratulate and send gifts, and were led inside by the maid.
Cheng Wanwan stepped up the steps and handed over the congratulatory gift in his hand: "Congratulations to my father-in-law on the birth of his son. I hope this little guy will grow up safely and healthily."
"My mother-in-law, I'm just waiting for you to come!" Cao Defu's eyes turned into slits when he smiled, "I asked Magistrate Shen to help me name the child, and I will leave the nickname to my mother-in-law. Please take care of me."
His son was able to be born safely, thanks to the intervention of County Magistrate Shen and his mother-in-law, otherwise, he would really have no descendants.
Cheng Wanwan nodded and agreed. The first name would be troublesome, but the nickname would be simpler and less troublesome.
She asked Zhao Ergou to stay at the door and greet the guests with her father-in-law, while she and Cao Yingying walked towards Aunt Meng's yard.
After Mrs. Qi was imprisoned, the main courtyard became empty. As soon as Aunt Meng returned to Cao Mansion, she moved in carelessly. No one in the mansion dared to say anything about her.
The main courtyard is very lively, and outside are the wives of some of the Cao family's business partners.
Some close relatives of the Cao family and some ladies who were close to him were in the inner room.
Cheng Wanwan and Cao Yingying naturally went to the inner room.
As soon as I entered, I heard Aunt Meng's happy voice: "Old madam, this name is so good, it suits my son so well!"
Seeing Cheng Wanwan and Cao Yingying coming in, she said quickly, "Master Shen gave my son a good name, Cao Yin. He said it means tiger in the Chinese zodiac. My son will become a great man in the future. , could you please help me come up with a nickname."
Cheng Wanwan glanced at the child lying on the bed. He was really fat and big. The outline looked like Cao Defu's. It was so similar.
"Let's call him Shitou." She said with a smile, "Boss Cao is just such a son. He will definitely treat him as a treasure. It will be bad if he is spoiled. The nickname is Shitou. It is intended to remind Mr. Cao and Aunt Meng to separate." Treat children not as treasures but as stones, educate them when they need education, and only by beating them can they become great things.”
Aunt Meng was a little sarcastic, wasn't she? In the past three days, Cao Defu had protected and doted on her son like an eyeball. She originally felt quite happy. After all, her son was favored and her status was stable, but Sui Ruren said this, It made her worry again. If she pampered her too much, she might become the second Cao Hong.
She hated Cao Hong's kid just looking at him.
"That's a good name." Mrs. Shen nodded, "Our family Xiao Zheng is spoiled. Fortunately, we have Sui Ruren, our godmother, to educate him, otherwise he would not have been admitted as a scholar."
The ladies from the Cao family in the inner room had complicated expressions.
When they learned that Cao Hong was not of the Cao family, they were all so happy that they wished they could immediately send their sons to be adopted by Cao Defu.
They were fighting fiercely with each other. Unexpectedly, Aunt Meng gave birth to a big fat boy.
Now, all their thoughts were gone.
A lady felt unhappy, and it showed in her tone: "If you say that this child's life is good, it is indeed a good life. He has become the only incense of the Cao family. If you say that his life is bad, it is indeed not good. He has become a good person. As a concubine’s mother, you will never be able to shake off the title of concubine for the rest of your life.”
A lady next to me echoed: "I heard that after a concubine is admitted to the imperial examination, he will be shorter than his legitimate son and his official position will be lower. This child is really pitiful."
Aunt Meng was extremely happy just now, but when she heard these blatant sarcasms, she immediately exploded.
She had just given birth a few days ago, but she ate well, slept well, and didn't need to breastfeed. She was in great spirits. She was about to jump out of bed and scold her when she was held down by Mrs. Shen.
The old lady twirled the beads and said softly: "You are a mother now, so don't act impatiently."
Aunt Meng had no choice but to lie down obediently.
Cheng Wanwan turned his back to the ladies in charge and softly mouthed one word with his lips: "Cry."
She quite likes Aunt Meng's carefree personality. The key is that Cao Yin is the future heir of the Cao family and the mother-in-law of Ergou's daughter-in-law. She is protecting Aunt Meng now, and her son will naturally protect her in the future. Yingying.
Aunt Meng received the signal, blinked her eyes, and a string of crystal tears suddenly flowed down.
"I know that I have a bad background and am just a maid, but I don't want to... When my wife asked me to serve the master, I was not qualified to refuse. Who would have thought that I would become pregnant in such a short time, let alone... I gave birth to a son for the master..."
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
Are you crying? It's like showing off that you gave birth to a son...
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, I am a concubine, and my son is a concubine. Our births were not good. We deserve to be ridiculed. My son and I should not live in this world..."
"After the master divorced his wife, I also advised him to marry again. When the mistress of the house comes in, I will let the stone be recorded in the name of my aunt."
"But what if Xu Xian is a black-hearted man? What if Xu Xian abuses my son? What if Xu Xian secretly kills my son? I will have no hope for the rest of my life."
"I have no hope, it's okay, but we can't let the Cao family lose their incense. My poor son, oh oh oh, mother can't bear to leave you..."
Aunt Meng lay on the bed and cried loudly.
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
Mrs. Shen: "..."
Several ladies from the Cao family nearby turned green.
Cao Yingying reacted: "I'll call my dad over."
After Cao Defu finished welcoming the guests, he originally planned to visit his son, but happened to meet Cao Yingying. As soon as he heard that Aunt Meng was angry and crying, he rushed into the inner room with a single stride.
Aunt Meng cried with tears on her face, and Shitou was frightened and woke up. He opened his eyes and cried loudly, and the room was in chaos.
The wet nurse quickly came in, took the stone away, and went to feed the baby.
"Master, you are finally here!" Aunt Meng complained aggrievedly, "The third aunt and the fourth cousin-in-law said that our Shitou was a concubine and would not have much future. They also said that they should let the master marry a second wife and let Shitou be remembered as his aunt. I don’t care about my name, I’m just afraid that my aunt will be a black-hearted person who will abuse the stone every day and feed it poison, wuwuwu, I feel sad when I think about this..."
The third aunt of the Cao family said hurriedly: "I never said that!"
Sister-in-law Cao Sitang looked innocent: "This Meng is grabbing and biting randomly!"
"What the third aunt and the fourth cousin said makes sense. My son is a concubine, so his status is indeed inferior." Cao Defu endured his anger and said, "My Cao family has such a big family business, and it really needs a head. Mother will take care of the general affairs."
Aunt Meng's eyes widened. This old Cao was simply trying to burn bridges. She had just given birth to a son and he wanted to marry her again. She really didn't want to live anymore!
Aunt Cao's expression softened: "I will help find a suitable girl another day and bring her in on an auspicious day..."
"There's no need to look for it. Aunt Meng just gave birth to a son. In order to prevent others from looking down on my son, I will lift Aunt Meng straight up." Cao Defu said coldly, "Many guests are here today, so let's do the two things together. ”
Aunt Meng's pupils widened again: "Old Master, you, you, you, you, you mean, let me be the mistress?"
