Chapter 248 Daughter's Birthday
In the blink of an eye, May was coming. Chen Muqing sewed Ji Niang's five poison purse at home. Huang Ying came in: "Grandma, all the rice dumplings I gave to others have been packed. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Chen Muqing put down the needle in his hand: "Where is Ji Niang?"
"I'm having fun with Mr. Chang!"
Chen Muqing frowned slightly as he heard this.
Since Chang Hui proposed to accept Ji Niang as his disciple and was rejected by Chen Muqing, Chang Hui never mentioned this topic again. He just often hugged Ji Niang to play. Ji Niang was a man who liked to be crazy, but he was still laughing when Chang Hui carried him on the eaves and walked around the wall. From then on, he had been pestering Chang Hui. Even Xiao Sa didn't care much. Chang Hui often took Ji Niang around to play. Chen Muqing sometimes wondered if Chang Hui was secretly teaching Ji Niang martial arts, and sometimes he felt that he was too heartless - Ji Niang was so older that he couldn't even stand steadily.
"Don't worry, grandma!" Huang Ying smiled hurriedly, "Mr. Chang is a proper person and will not do anything to the girl!"
I hope so!
When he said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Chang Hui walked in with Ji Niang in his arms. Ji Niang saw her mother and turned around and rushed towards her.
Chen Muqing asked Huang Ying to take away the basket of needles and threads, and then he hugged the child.
"Mu Qing, I have something..." Chang Hui was hesitant in an abnormal manner.
How could Chen Muqing make him embarrassed? He hurriedly said, "You and Xiao Sa have a life-long friendship, and there is nothing that cannot be said."
Chang Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to ask you for some medicines such as ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, and blood vine."
Chen Muqing nodded without hesitation: "I just don't know which one I want?"
Chang Hui looked a little unnatural: "Or why I'll write you a note. Do you get some for me?"
"Okay!" Chen Muqing agreed very simply. When he saw Xiao Sa talking about this to him in the evening: "What do you think Master Chang wants these things to do?"
"I don't know!" Xiao Sa was reading "The Annotations of the Four Books" in the bed, a little absent-minded, "You can find a way to help him. If you can't get it, let Master Zheng help." As he said that, he put down the book in his hand and said, "By the way, the master wrote to him last time that he wanted to help Dashe discuss his relatives, but are there anyone who can look at him?"
"What? What's your idea?" Chen Muqing heard Xiao Sa mention the matter of Dashe, and put Chang Hui aside the matter of asking her to help raise the medicinal materials, "Or, someone proposes a marriage to you?"
"What can I make any suggestions!" Xiao Sa smiled, "I don't have a village or a shop here. How many people can I recognize and can I still be a matchmaker for Dashe?"
Chen Muqing smiled and said, "The master always wanted to marry the Min family, but I don't know if it can be done."
"Min family?" Xiao Sa was quite surprised, "Mr. Min only has two sons, who is his daughter who he likes?"
"I don't know." Chen Muqing smiled, "It depends on the master's meaning, and the Min family's meaning."
In June, news came from Kyoto that Daeshe and the daughter of Mr. Min’s clan brother were engaged.
"I don't know what kind of person he is?" Chen Muqing couldn't help but worry.
"Da She has been studying in Minjiajia for so long, and his father-in-law should know him very well. You don't have to worry so much!"
"Of course I know that Dashe's father-in-law knows Dashe very well." Chen Muqing beeped in a low voice, "But I don't know whether Dashe knows that girl..." At that time, marriage was all based on the words of his parents. Where was Dashe's turn to speak, but it was everyone's wish to marry a lovable person.
Xiao Sa hugged Chen Muqing: "Who is as lucky as me, Xiao Sa - I got what I want."
"You guy!" Chen Muqing smiled.
A servant outside reported, "The eldest lady is here!"
Xiao Sa was slightly stunned: "What are she doing?"
"Ji Niang is about to be one year old!" Chen Muqing guessed, "Maybe I'm here to come to Ji Niang!" As he said that, he quickly tidied up his clothes and welcomed him in.
The eldest lady was indeed here to attend Ji Niang's first birthday, and she also brought two gold and steel stones the size of rice grains to Chen Muqing: "You keep one, and one for Ji Niang."
Chen Muqing and Xiao Sa invited the eldest wife to the eldest wife. They did not be polite to the eldest wife, so they took the things and thanked her, and asked someone to carry Ji Niang to see the eldest wife. They also knew that Chang Hui was also here, so the eldest wife was busy and asked someone to give Chang Hui a silver note. She sat down to tease Ji Niang and played with her. Chen Muqing asked Xi Xi to go to the kitchen and asked someone to make the dishes that the eldest wife liked.
It happened that Lord Fang came to visit Xiao Sa, who gave the eldest wife a gift and went to the flower hall.
"Her hands and feet are so smart. She is not one year old yet!" The eldest lady hugged her granddaughter whom she hadn't seen for several months, and was so happy that she couldn't stop talking.
Just now, the eldest lady put Ji Niang on the Arhat bed. She stood up as the arhat bed surrounded by the Arhat bed, and threw the circumference away and walked a few steps.
Chen Muqing also felt that Ji Niang's hands and feet became more flexible as she grew older.
"No!" Chen Muqing smiled, "I'm worried about her - I can do these hard work without teaching them, but it's really hard to let her say something."
"No hurry, no hurry," the eldest lady looked at Ji Niang who was learning to walk there, and was happy, and just kept persuading Chen Muqing, "Look at Master Zheng San, he spoke only at the age of five. Now how many people can talk about him. No, no, let's take it slowly..."
The eldest lady looked at Ji Niang and everything was fine.
Chen Muqing smiled and had a meal with the eldest wife.
The eldest wife took a spoon and fed Ji Niang: "When Ji Niang was weaned, I took her to Jinzhou to play for a few days."
Chen Muqing was slightly stunned.
Ji Niang is one year old in July, and she is only ready to wean her when it is cold in September. However, the eldest wife is here in June and is still preparing to take Ji Niang to Jinzhou to play... Could she end the business in Guangdong?
She smiled with a hint of point, "Big Madam, it's better for the child to be weaned after being cold!"
Who is the eldest wife? How could she not hear the meaning of Chen Muqing's words?
"I'm old and don't want to wander outside anymore." There was a hint of bitterness in her smile. "I'm going to go home and stay in Jinzhou for a while."
After retirement, he did not return to Lincheng, but returned to his parents' home... Chen Muqing also felt bitter in his heart.
"Then you're so happy, you can help us see Ji Niang... This kid is so naughty!"
The eldest lady smiled when she heard this: "I just can't bear to leave her." As she said that, she hugged Ji Niang, "Called Big Grandma!"
But Ji Niang stretched out her fat little finger, and hey, pointed at the peas in the plate on the table.
"We Ji Niang are so smart!" The eldest lady smiled and hugged Ji Niang and kissed her left and right, and liked her to her heart, "I knew what to eat when I was so young!"
It’s really right to be a relative of the next generation. I’m afraid that Xiao Sa and Yunniang will never dare to think about this treatment.
Chen Muqing smiled and whispered to the magpie to go to the flower hall to see: "...what do you say?" She was afraid that Lord Fang came for her nephew's marriage.
The eldest lady looked at Chen Muqing with an unexpected look and tentatively said, "But what happened?"
There is something that a family cannot say.
Chen Muqing said that Fang Tianfu came to propose marriage: "...I just don't want to keep Mingxia and the others in Shanghai." He always felt that it was because of himself that several maids gave up their life in Kyoto and followed him to Shanghai.
The eldest lady thought for a moment and smiled and said, "I heard that Zhuji's marriage was still the one you made back then?"
Chen Muqing thought of his wife and felt a little depressed: "Yes..."
"What? I'm not doing well." The eldest lady pretended to be ignorant.
"It's a good life!" Chen Muqing smiled with a spirit, "Baimu is very nice to her, and her son is also very obedient."
The eldest wife nodded: "Baimu is now the head of the Shen family!"
"Yeah!" Chen Muqing laughed when he thought of the couple he had matched, "I know the truth, don't worry."
The eldest lady smiled kindly and said, "Yes, only those who know the truth can rest assured. I see that Mingxia and Ningbi are good children around you, Jin Liang and Yinliang are not young anymore. If you think it's right, it's better to make a couple, so as not to marry outsiders!"
Both young men were handsome, handsome, and safe to do things... Chen Muqing was moved and hesitated: "I just rejected Lord Fang..."
"Why should I refuse the housekeeper?"
Chen Muqing was a little hesitant.
"Do you feel you've suffered with you?"
Chen Muqing looked up in shock.
The eldest wife's smile was even gentle: "You came to Shanghai with Sa'er, and I wonder how many people complained about you? Do you feel suffering!"
Chen Muqing was originally a smart person and immediately understood what the eldest lady meant, but she was also a calm person. As expected, she thought about this issue seriously.
Seeing that his purpose was achieved, the eldest wife changed the topic with a smile: "Does Ji Niang's first-year-old wine be placed at home or in a restaurant?"
Chen Muqing came to his senses and smiled and said, "Preserve it at home! We don't have many guests, so put on more wine and drink at home."
The eldest wife gently slapped her head and the magpie walked in.
"Master Fang and I are talking about the group training."
Chen Muqing felt relieved and told the eldest lady how naughty Ji Niang was, which made the eldest lady happy.
At night, Xiao Sa did discuss her about this matter: "I am afraid that Yuan Meng people will come again this year, so I will follow Lord Fang to check out the room during this period."
"You go!" Chen Muqing smiled, "I'm in the family matter!"
Xiao Sa nodded: "When Ji Niang's first year is over, you can go to Jinzhou with your eldest wife to stay for a while - Shanghai Destination is too dangerous."
"Let's talk about it then!" Chen Muqing felt that Yanzhou Wei severely damaged the Yuanmeng people last year, and they may not have the courage to invade again this year.
Xiao Sa also had this idea, and looked at his delicate wife under the lamp, and she couldn't bear to leave. Her heart was throbbing, and she hugged her and gently threw her on the bed.
Chen Muqing turned over and glanced at him charmingly, with the rolling curves as beautiful as mountains.
Xiao Sa stood by the bed with a smile, her eyes full of appreciation.
After giving birth to a child, his waist inevitably became thicker. But in Xiao Sa's eyes, he was always so beautiful... Chen Muqing's vanity was greatly satisfied and he threw himself into Xiao Sa's arms with a smile.
*******
Ji Niang's first year of age was beyond Xiao Sa and Shen Muqing's expectations, and many people came.
Lord Peng, the governor of Ya'an, Lord Li, the new county magistrate, Lord Zheng, Lord Fang, the former governor of Ya'an, the current governor of Rongcheng... There are also the Zheng family who came from Jinzhou, some wealthy families in Shanghai, and even the city chief who came from Tianquan County.
The Xiao family was flocking to each other, and the wine and dishes prepared were not enough. Several restaurants in Shanghai were outsourced. Despite this, many people sent gifts and went back directly.
Although these made Chen Muqing feel a little uneasy, what made her even more uneasy was that Ji Niang grabbed a peach wood sword while catching Zhou.
