Chapter 1572 Chapter 877
In the blink of an eye, another day flew by, and it was March 22, Xiao Ye's baptism, which was a good day. The sun was shining and there were no clouds in the sky.
The three baptisms were not lavishly organized, but simply invited some female relatives to the house.
For this reason, the Bixiao Hall was still full of guests. In the early morning, female guests came one after another. Whether they had invitations, such as Mrs. Tian, Han Qixia, and Mrs. Yao, they still did not have invitations, such as Qu Jiayue, Mrs. Tuesday, etc., all came.
Today, the mansion was beaming with joy because of Xiao Ye's third ceremony, saying "the visitor is a guest", but all the guests who came to the house were allowed to enter the mansion, and the second wife Zhou Roujia and Xiao Fei entertained everyone together.
When it was just mentioned in the post, the small flower hall was already full of seats.
Nangong Yue has not yet given birth, so Zhou Roujia and Mrs. Lin took Mrs. Tian, Yuan Yuyi, Han Qixia and other female relatives to visit Nangong Yue's room. In addition, most of the female guests could only stay in the small flower hall. waiting.
In the inner room, Nangong Yue was sitting on the couch leaning on a big rose-red pillow. This pregnancy was difficult, and it was much harder than Xiao Xiao Yu's birth. I am thin. Although I have eaten a lot of tonics in the past few days, my complexion seems to have improved a lot, but I am still very thin.
Most of the people present knew this. Seeing that Nangong Yue's complexion had recovered a lot, they didn't ask any more questions about the production. All eyes were focused on Xiao Ye's head in the swaddling clothes.
Only two days later, the newborn baby looked much better, with fair skin like his mother and father, his eyes were closed, and he slept unconsciously. He could vaguely hear him snoring evenly, his slightly upturned cherry mouth. It seems that he is very similar to Xiao Yu who is watching his brother by the bed.
Others were looking at Xiao Ye, but Nangong Yue was looking at Zhou Roujia without a trace. In just three days, Zhou Roujia had lost weight and was haggard. Although she barely covered it with powder, she could vaguely see that she was wearing powder. Cover up shadows.
Nangong Yue sighed in her heart, planning to find time to talk with Zhou Roujia.
At this time, Mrs. Yao said with a smile: "Prince Concubine, the second young master was born so well, it looks like he was carved out of the same mold as his descendants!"
"I don't think so." Madam Tian joked, "The two sons are clearly like the prince!"
Having said that, everyone couldn't help laughing, and they all said, "Mother Xiao, father Xiao," the two sons of Shizi were more like Shizi.
"I'm lucky anyway." Mrs. Tian summed up with a smile, and everyone laughed again, especially Mrs. Lin, who narrowed his eyes with laughter.
However, Baihui and Thrushi know that although the two young masters look alike, their temperaments are not very similar. Although the second son is still a baby, he is a gentle baby. Howling like thunder.
After everyone sent some small clothes and shoes, it was almost time, the nurse picked up Xiao Ye, and everyone went back to the small flower hall together.
Little Xiao Ye is the worthy protagonist of today. Those female relatives gathered around one after another, and you praised me every word, so much that it was the only one in heaven and earth, and the flower hall was very lively.
Xiao Xiaoyu nodded slightly with satisfaction, quite contented: He is really a good brother. Thanks to the good-looking clothes I gave my brother, I made my brother look good and didn't make their Xiao family ashamed.
Looking at the lively scene in front of her, everyone surrounded the little baby like stars and the moon, Qu Jiayue felt sour in her heart, and her figure tensed slightly: Why is this Nangong Yue's life so good? !
look at yourself...
Thinking of how she had been lingering in Xiye all these years, and her father's merciless threat that day still in her ears, Qu Jiayue couldn't help clenching her teeth, the blue veins throbbing at the corner of her eyes.
But now Qu Jiayue is no longer the bright and young princess Mingyue in the old capital. She immediately adjusted her mood, her eyes fell on Zhou Roujia, and she squinted proudly. She said to herself in her heart: It doesn't matter, her plan has already succeeded in the first step, and when she has complete control over Xiao Luan, she can move on to the next step... The plan will definitely go well, and she will definitely get what she wants!
Qu Jiayue couldn't help but raised her head and looked in the direction of the palace through an open window, her eyes flashing with great ambition.
It was noon, and with a reminder from a steward, the three baptisms began.
Xiao Xiao Ye is a well-behaved baby. The two wet nurses worked together to undress and wash him for three hours. He kept his eyes closed and fell asleep peacefully. Naturally, there was no trouble. The whole process went very smoothly. The ladies went into the basin one after another. Throwing away pieces of gold, the wet nurses said pleasant and auspicious words from time to time.
Xiao Xiaoyu looked very interesting from the side, and he lowered his head and took out his orange cat purse, and threw a golden cat into the basin.
With a "click", the water splashed as the golden cat claws fell into the basin, and the little guy laughed happily.
The little guy's actions immediately attracted the attention of the ladies, and they all thought it was very rare and interesting. Mrs. Tian couldn't help jokingly saying that when the grandson washed the third time, the little hands and feet almost knocked over the water basin.
The ladies couldn't help laughing, the little flower hall became more and more lively, and there was a lot of chatter and laughter.
After the three rituals, Xiao Xiao Ye was taken away, and everyone moved to the west side hall to the side, where they simply had some lunch. After that, they said goodbye wisely. Accompanied by the guests.
When the guests dispersed, he ran back to his mother to ask for credit.
In the room, little Xiao Ye wrapped in a red swaddle was lying on a small bed. He was already awake, with his black and shiny eyes like black grapes, he was turning around, as if he was looking at the surrounding environment.
"Mother!" Xiao Xiaoyu hurriedly flew towards her mother's bed, first knelt down to the bedside and kissed her, and then excitedly explained the three rituals just now, including How did he throw the gold coin when his younger brother was taking a bath, and how did he see off the guest.
The little guy didn't have enough vocabulary, and he couldn't speak clearly, but it was enough for Nangong Yue to understand the key points, and from time to time he asked a few words and complimented him.
The little guy said with a dry mouth, gulping down a glass of warm water, and then he noticed that Xiao Yi was standing at the door at some point.
Xiao Yi quietly looked at the three mother and son in the room, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his heart was soft.
"Daddy!" Xiao Xiaoyu blinked his eyes, as if he was asking, Daddy, when did you come back, why didn't you say anything?
Xiao Xiao Yu happily rushed towards his father again, Xiao Yi picked him up and hugged him easily in his arms.
"Ayi," Nangong Yue said with a smile, "did you send your grandfather back?"
Xiao Yi responded. Just now, Lin Jingchen came to Bixiaotang to check the pulse of Nangong Yue. After that, Xiao Yi personally sent Lin Jingchen back to Lin's house.
"Ayue," Xiao Yi walked to the bed and sat down, letting the eldest son sit on his lap, "I've thought about it, the full moon ceremony will not be done..."
Xiao Yi just started, and Nangong Yue vaguely guessed what he was going to say, and sure enough, he continued to say: "You sit for an extra month, can we hold a double full moon ceremony?"
Nangong Yue remembered the original Shuangyuezi, and her head almost ached, so she supported the forehead that was wrapped in Fang Jinpa.
"Ai..."
She tried to convince Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi was already prepared.
"I asked my grandfather and mother-in-law, and they all said yes." Xiao Yi said, he took one of Nangong Yue's plain hands, and gently rubbed her tender plain hands with his rough fingers, with a pair of peach blossom eyes. Without blinking, he looked at Nangong Yue, who had lost a lot of weight, and said slowly, "Ayue, I feel distressed."
Thinking of Nangong Yue's suffering on the day of giving birth, Xiao Yi felt as if an invisible big palm was gripping his heart. coming out.
Nangong Yue held his hand subconsciously, wanting to tell him that she was fine; wanting to tell him, she was happy...
However, before the words could be said, a chubby little hand carefully covered the back of her hand, and then a beautiful little face poked out from his father's chest, learning his father's way seriously. The tone said: "Mother, brother Yu is distressed!"
The original charming atmosphere in the house was dispelled by Xiao Xiaoyu's words. Looking at the similarities, one big and one small, Nangong Yue smiled, and her heart was as sweet as honey.
How can she face them?
Only to surrender.
On the other hand, Xiao Yi stared at Xiao Xiao Yu. On the one hand, he felt that this stinky boy was really ruining the atmosphere, and on the other hand, he felt that this stinky boy seemed to be of some use.
At this moment, Xiao Ye on the cot suddenly began to cry unwillingly, sobbing and sobbing with grief and grief, and his pink mouth wriggled as if he was sucking.
Xiao Yu had heard such a cry many times in the past few days, and he immediately said clearly: "Mother, brother is hungry!"
I don't know if it's brotherhood, or the child's world has its own language. It's only been three days, and Xiao Xiaoyu has been able to accurately judge from the change in his brother's cry whether his brother is hungry or out of respect. The maid was amazed. After Xiao Xiaoyu was praised several times, he was so proud that his tail was about to go up to the sky. Every day he waited for others to praise him as a good brother and would help his mother to take care of his younger brother.
Xiao Xiaoyu's shout suddenly disturbed the inside and outside of the house. The wet nurse and maid immediately came in and hugged the little master to drink milk. After a while, the commotion subsided...
In the next few days, from Bixiaotang to the palace, everyone was immersed in the joy of adding a new young master. It was a reward from the prince for a while, and a reward from the king of Zhennan for a while. He received more than half a year of monthly money every day, and the whole house was happy.
If there is anyone in the palace who is exceptional, it is probably only Xiao Luan. Even though he has discussed ideas from Guan Yubai, he is still a little concerned.
"Hey--"
Xiao Luan in the study room didn't know how many sighs he sighed, and he couldn't even read the book "Fengyue Mechanism" that was newly acquired a few days ago.
He always felt that what happened to Qu Jiayue was like he smashed a vase of his father when he was young. Although he turned the vase temporarily and hid the hole in the shadow in the corner, but this one Sooner or later things will explode...
"Hey--"
Another long sigh was only halfway out, when I heard the servant's deliberately raised voice from outside: "I have seen the second lady. The second master is reading inside."
Zhou Roujia is here!
Xiao Luan hurriedly closed the book of "Fengyue Mechanism" in his hand, shoved it into the pile of books on the side, took a random book, and hurriedly opened it...
Almost in the next instant, I heard the sound of the curtains being lifted. Zhou Roujia, who was wearing a goose-yellow makeup and wide-sleeved robe, came in with a red lacquered wooden food box in her hand. Gentle smile.
Five days ago, it was also here that Xiao Luan and Zhou Roujia proposed a divorce. At that time, he said suddenly, Zhou Roujia was both shocked and injured, but after calming down in the enamel courtyard alone for two days, thinking about how Xiao Luan has been since the two got married Although Luan was a little flirtatious and frivolous, it was mostly because of her youth and naivety. After she married into the palace, she had been living a good life, and even that Concubine Zhang was honest after she was brought back. Apart from that Aunt Zhang, there is no one else in Xiao Luan's backyard. Compared with some sisters she knows in her boudoir, she doesn't know how much better it is now!
Maybe people outside the house will say that Xiao Luan, the second son of Xiao Luan, is useless and a swinger who can only hang out with some friends, but Zhou Roujia thinks that Xiao Luan is very good. Those who are self-sufficient and smart are hundreds of times better...
That day, Xiao Luan suddenly proposed reconciliation, and kept saying that he was sorry for her, there must be a reason she didn't know.
On the day of the third baptism, sister-in-law Nangong Yue called her there and reassured her that she and her eldest brother already knew about Xiao Luan's affairs and would handle it themselves, so that she didn't have to worry, everything was business as usual.
Zhou Roujia agreed, she believed in Nangong Yue, Xiao Yi, and Xiao Luan!
In just these short few steps, Zhou Roujia's thoughts turned a lot, and her expression became softer.
"Xianggong." She bowed her knees, then put the red lacquered wooden food box in her hand on the counter, opened the food box, and said, "Don't you like the dim sum of the Bai family shop the most? I will let someone I bought you the sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake and rose cake from Baijiapu, the desserts have just come out of the oven and are still hot."
Hearing this, Xiao Luan's expression couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It's not that he likes the dim sum from Bai's shop, but Pian Pian, so he personally went out to buy her for her...
He doesn't seem to have bought dessert for his wife before...
Thinking about it, Xiao Luan's guilt deepened, and his thoughts were a little confused.
When a hot plate of sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake was held in front of him, he was so guilty that his eyes drifted, and he suddenly remembered something, stood up suddenly, and blurted out: "Ah! I plan to buy sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake for Brother Guan. Oh, how could I forget!"
After the words were spoken, the study was silent for a moment. Xiao Luan really wanted to slap himself in the mouth. He said something wrong again. She thoughtfully bought him a sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake, but he made a promise to take her kindness to do it. The appearance of human affection, his husband is really a failure!
Zhou Roujia seemed to see Xiao Luan's embarrassment, and said thoughtfully, "Master, I also bought a box of sweet-scented osmanthus and red bean cakes, and I'll send them to Qingyunwu."
The more considerate Zhou Roujia was, the more guilt Xiao Luan felt. She hurriedly sent the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake in front of her to Zhou Roujia's direction. ."
A strong scent of sweet-scented osmanthus mixed with the aroma of red beans hit the nostrils, Zhou Roujia frowned, straightened up and stepped back a little, then smiled casually, picked up the rose cake beside him and said, "Xiang Gong, I prefer rose cakes. ."
Xiao Luan was stunned. It was the first time he knew that Zhou Roujia likes to eat rose cakes, and he felt more and more guilty in his heart.
He ate two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus and red bean cakes. After that, Zhou Roujia left, leaving Xiao Luan to look at her back in despair. After confirming that she went out, she couldn't help but sigh again, her heart hanging in the air. A few more things...
A few days later, Xiao Luan lost weight abruptly. On the morning of March 25, his servant suddenly came in anxiously and said:
"Second Master, Miss Qu sent someone to send a message, asking Second Master to go to Nanhu Restaurant in the late afternoon for a while!"
Xiao Luan's heart sank a little, and at the same time, there was another voice in his heart saying, just like what Big Brother Guan said, Qu Jiayue is finally here!
