The west courtyard of Feng Mansion.
A group of girls who had not yet left the pavilion gathered together at this time and were watching the infant little Feng Can.
Xiao Feng Can is one month old, so naturally they will not come empty-handed.
Those who are good at craftsmanship have prepared clothes, hats, shoes and socks made by themselves.
If you have plenty in your hands, prepare longevity locks, necklaces, bracelets and other gold and silver jewelry.
There are also luozi, sachets, blankets, etc. that some people bring.
Regardless of the value, it is all the girls’ wishes.
Among them, the one given by Daiyu is the most special.
After all, we will be a family in the future, and it will be a precious copybook.
The content of the copybook is the "Thousand-Character Essay", which is exactly what it means to be enlightened.
However, many calligraphers in the "Thousand Character Essay" have written that this copybook is a treasure because it was written by Zen Master Zhiyong, the seventh descendant of Wang Xizhi.
According to legend, in order to carry forward the calligraphy of his ancestors, this Zen master once handwrote more than 800 copies of "Zhencao Qianziwen" and distributed them to many temples in eastern Zhejiang.
It is a pity that of these more than 800 copies, less than ten copies have been handed down.
Let those who still collect it regard it as a treasure.
Daiyu took out these words from home, which made Lin Ruhai a little reluctant to let go.
But thinking that it was sent to Feng's house, he could see it at any time in the future, so he didn't stop it.
It’s just that I can’t help but secretly sigh that girls are really outgoing.
At this time, Tanchun saw the swaddled baby for the first time and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Brother Can is exactly the same as Brother Feng!"
Xiangyun next to him curled his lips when he heard this and said:
"I think she looks more like Sister Bao. Look at her eyebrows and face shape, she obviously looks like Sister Bao!"
The two of them would bicker when they met, and today was no exception.
"Giggle! What's there to argue about? Brother Can definitely has the advantages of both parents, so he looks the same!"
Daiyu covered her mouth and chuckled, then joked:
"On the other hand, if you two get together and bicker, I'm afraid you won't be lonely in the future!"
After the national mourning this year, the two will marry overseas.
Now when they heard Daiyu's teasing, it was rare for them to say anything back.
For a moment, they seemed to have thought of something, and looked at each other with some complicated expressions.
The two of them were naturally not jealous, but they were inevitably a little touched by the thought of leaving their homeland and family.
After all, he is still fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if he chooses to go overseas, Xiangyun, who has always been cheerful and lively, can't help but feel a little sad at this time.
Daiyu has always been sensitive.
When I saw their appearance, I immediately realized that I shouldn't mention this at this time.
But she has always been a bit arrogant.
Even though I knew I was wrong and wanted to go back a few words, I couldn't speak for a while.
If it were normal, Baochai would naturally support her and help her make a difference.
But now, Baochai was leaning on the other side of the kang, his eyes were on Xiao Feng Can, and he didn't hear their discussion.
When Daiyu was struggling in her heart and wanted to say a few words of comfort, Xichun, who had always been taciturn, suddenly said:
"Huh? He laughed! He laughed!"
Even if she is as lonely as she is, her heart will melt when she sees Xiao Feng Can's smile.
Daiyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Xiao Feng Can who came to her rescue, she felt a little emotional.
Usually it was Baochai who came to her rescue, but now it was Baochai's son's turn.
Tanchun and Xiangyun's attention was also diverted, the melancholy on their faces disappeared in an instant, and they all gathered around to tease Feng Can.
"Oh oh oh!"
"Kick-kick!"
"Brother Can! Look at my aunt!"
"..."
Seeing that both of them were no longer melancholy, Daiyu silently took a few steps back and came to sit next to Baochai.
Baochai said nothing, only gently held her hand.
Two people look at each other
He smiled, and then laughed together as he watched the sisters teasing little Feng Can.
After watching for a while, little Feng Can was taken aside by the wet nurse to breastfeed.
The girls were still talking about it in low voices.
Daiyu then asked in a low voice:
"Sister, how are you recovering these days?"
She had heard someone say that giving birth to a child was like going through hell.
Even if the birth is successful, it will cost half of my life.
At this time, seeing Baochai still wearing a Baotou hat and not wearing makeup, Daiyu couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
"What else can I do? After confinement, I have gained a lot of weight."
When Baochai heard this, he showed a sweet smile and said:
"When I was pregnant, my father didn't let me eat too much or take supplements casually. He said he was afraid that the baby would be too big to be born. After I gave birth, he asked me to eat more and take supplements. Isn't that right? Now my face is glowing. You know. I just finished my confinement period, and those who didn’t know thought I was pregnant!”
The sisters all gathered together at this time and happened to hear what Baochai said later.
Xiangyun sat down and said with a smile:
"Haha! I've known for a long time that Brother Feng is knowledgeable about the past and present, but I didn't expect that he even knows how to give birth to children!"
"Kick-kick!"
Seeing that the sisters were all amused by her, Xiangyun said proudly:
"I heard people say that when a woman gives birth to a child, she has to go to hell. Brother Feng is doing this for the sake of his sister. He would rather let Brother Can be born thinner than to avoid dystocia!"
She often went to various houses with Mrs. Wei and heard the elders talking about it.
When Tanchun heard this, he immediately joked:
"Young girl, do you still understand this?"
These are all sisters here, and there are no outsiders, so it’s okay to talk privately.
However, when Xiangyun heard such a joke, his face inevitably turned red and he hurriedly explained:
"I just heard it from hearsay. How do I know anything?"
Baochai smiled, and then said seriously:
"Our master said the same thing. Although he has no medical skills, he is also knowledgeable about the past and the present. He is certainly not a careless person. You will all suffer the same fate in the future. Don't forget what you said today."
The girls naturally understood what was going on and nodded after hearing the words.
At this moment, Aunt Meng came over with a group of people.
"Congratulations, madam, congratulations to the young marquis!"
Aunt Meng bowed to Baochai with a happy face and said with a smile:
"Someone came from the palace just now and conveyed the Queen Mother's oral instructions. She appointed Brother Can as a fifth-grade forbidden captain. He also said that when Brother Can grows up in the future, he will accompany His Majesty and study together!"
All the girls were startled when they heard this, thinking that someone with a message was coming.
Fortunately, there was no man behind Aunt Meng, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Baochai was also a little surprised and said softly "Oh?"
Aunt Meng smiled and stepped aside, letting out the maids behind who were holding trays, and said:
"These are rewards from the palace. The old lady asked me to deliver them to you quickly!"
Even if Yuanchun wanted to give more rewards, he could not escape from the rules of the palace, but overall they were quite generous.
There is a pair of longevity locks and four pills.
One is for Xiao Feng Can to ward off evil spirits, and the other is for Baochai to maintain his health.
There are four pieces of palace silk "Long Life for a Hundred Years" and four pieces of palace silk "Kilin Presents Auspiciousness", which is the literal meaning.
Finally, there are ten gold ingots and ten silver ingots, which symbolize perfection.
Baochai nodded towards Aunt Meng and warned:
"The Feng family is truly lucky to have Mu Tian'en. It's a pity that it's really inconvenient for me to look like this. I would like to ask Aunt Meng to thank the angel for me."
Aunt Meng smiled and replied:
"Madam, don't worry, I've already taken care of everything!"
Of course Baochai doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing.
The eunuch who delivered the order was left behind by Feng Yibo, and was arranged in a separate garden together with the palace attendants brought there to prevent the guests from feeling uncomfortable.
The rewards that should be given have already been given.
In place.
Seeing Baochai nod, Aunt Meng reported again:
"In addition, the old lady asked me to invite all the girls to take their seats. The opera troupe over there is about to start singing, so let the girls go over and order the opera."
When the girls heard this, they all immediately showed embarrassed expressions.
Daiyu finally had the aura of a master, so she smiled and said:
"There are so many noble people here today, so it's our turn to order the show. Aunt Meng will send the old lady back first, saying that we will go there later to accompany the elders to listen to the show."
Hearing this, Baochai nodded towards Aunt Meng.
Only then did Aunt Meng take someone over to reply.
The girls then left the west courtyard and came to the main hall.
At this time, the singer has already started singing.
On the stage, Fang Guan was wearing a phoenix crown, tassels, and palace clothes, singing the first part of "The Red-maned Horse", "Colorful House Matching".
When the girls saw this, they couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"The Fierce Horse with Red Mane" is the story of Wang Baochai and Xue Pinggui. Generally speaking, the audience will order more "Bie Kiln Joins the Army", "Exploring Han Kiln" and "Wujia Slope", but not many will click on the first fold.
After waiting for the ceremony, the ladies took their seats.
Only after asking the servants of Feng Mansion did they know.
It turns out that there were too many noble people today, and you pushed me to give way. In the end, I had no choice but to make the decision. Li Mengshi had to make the decision, let the actors sing first, and then change the ones here.
As soon as the girls understood the whole story and caught up with the transition, they heard someone in the chair say:
"Since none of you want to play, I'll just order it."
The girls looked for the sound and saw a young woman in gorgeous clothes sitting in the upper seat with some opera notes.
Next to her is Xiangyun's aunt, Mrs. Wei.
To be able to let the Marquis of the Marquis sit down, this woman must have a very noble status.
When he heard that she wanted to play, Li Mengshi said with a smile on her face:
"That's how it should be! If the princess doesn't order it, how can anyone else order it?"
It turned out that this young woman was Princess Zhen of Beijing.
In terms of status, she was the highest present.
Although Feng Yibo did not invite King Beijing, the visitor was a guest, so Li Mengshi naturally gave her to the main table according to her status.
Hearing Li Mengshi's words, she smiled, threw the playbook on the tray, and said casually:
"Just click on the male sacrifice."
The "Male Sacrifice" in "Jingchai Ji" is also called "Jijiang Sacrifice".
It tells the story of the heroine Qian Yulian who resisted remarriage and committed suicide by throwing herself into a river, but was rescued by others.
The male protagonist Wang Shipeng thought that she had been buried under the water, so he prepared a memorial ceremony during the Qingming Festival.
Although this play praises the righteous husband and the chaste wife, it is not appropriate for this play to sacrifice Jiang to be sung on a full moon.
Hearing the other party's request for this play, Li Mengshi frowned slightly at first, then smiled and said:
"It makes the princess laugh. You ordered this play. They haven't arranged it yet. How about changing it to one they are good at?"
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
reason.
But today the Princess of Beijing is clearly unkind and aggressive. She is provoking trouble one after another and seems to be trying to break her skin.
So Baochai is not here at this time. As an elder of Feng Mansion, she is in charge of the back house for Feng Yibo, so naturally she cannot just sit idly by.
But Princess Beijing hit a wall, but she still refused to give up and continued:
"Really? I originally wanted to order "The Orphan of Zhao", but it seems that there is no chance?"
It's a full moon, why don't you order "orphan"?
Li Mengshi, who originally wanted the other party to stop, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice:
"Since the princess doesn't know what to order, how about I order the first chapter of "Flame Pony" for the princess."
As the saying goes: It is rude to come and not return!
The Li family has a scholarly family background, so Li Meng cannot be rude.
The first chapter of "Flame Horse" is called "House Search".
Princess Beijing comes from the Zhen family in Jiangnan. Clicking on this drama is a knife in her heart.
Seeing the flash of swords on both sides, Princess Beijing was about to clap her arms and get up. Mrs. Wei smiled and said:
"On a day like today, it's time to listen to a monkey show. I think we'll start with "Sun Xingzhe Havoc in Heaven" to keep everyone entertained."
Li Mengshi smiled at her, then looked at Zhenshi and asked:
"This is a good suggestion. Princess, would you like to see the monkeys making trouble?"
Hearing this, Princess Beijing looked at Mrs. Wei with deep meaning, then shook her head and said:
"No, I'm a little tired, so I'll stop here today."
After saying that, she slowly stood up, asked the maid to put on the cloak for her, then turned around and said:
"Mrs. Wei, do you want to come with me?"
Mrs. Wei stood up, smiled apologetically, looked at the table of girls, and then replied:
"My niece and Mrs. Xue are familiar with each other. I'm afraid I have to say goodbye soon before leaving."
Hearing the other party's polite refusal, Princess Beijing nodded and said no more. She turned to Li Mengshi and nodded slightly, saying:
"I'm not feeling well today, so I won't bother you much and I'll take my leave now."
Obviously, she wasn't here to celebrate today, nor was she really here to cause trouble.
Rather, he came to express his position on behalf of the Prince of Beijing County.
This kind of thing cannot be dissolved in water and you can do it yourself.
Otherwise, it will be a big deal and there will be no room for change.
For her as the princess to express her dissatisfaction, it was enough for many people to understand the meaning of the founding lineage.
At the same time, it leaves some room for mediation.
Seeing that the other party had stopped, Li Meng naturally couldn't lose his etiquette.
"Congratulations, Princess!"
Immediately, she led a group of people to send Princess Beijing out of the second door.
Not long after Princess Beijing left here, many members of the founding family, as well as some who were sitting on the fence for unknown reasons, also left one after another with deep worries.
Li Mengshi did not try to persuade him to stay, and directly asked Li Wan and Aunt Li to help see off the guests.
After all the people who made up the numbers left, the Feng Mansion became lively again.
