Chapter 478 Daily life with children
But after leaving the palace, walking to the busy street, listening to the various cries outside the carriage, she immediately threw the guilty conscience out of the sky,
Turning her head to Haitang who was peeling oranges for her, she said: "Calculate the time, Lingling should have confinement, will you ask her to come out for a stroll together?"
Counting it, she hasn't gone shopping properly for nearly half a year.
Haitang wrinkled Baozi's face worriedly: "Is there any danger?"
Although this girl is stupid, but following them along the way, she has also gained some knowledge, and vaguely knows what happened in the capital.
Shen Mingjiao lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the bustling street scene outside. Except that there were more yamen servants looking around for defense, it didn't seem to have much effect.
"It's okay, the prince has been arrested, and Yang Dayang Er is secretly following. As long as it is not related to the war between the family and the country, the struggle between the superiors has little impact on ordinary people."
Since Jing and Emperor intend to use their tricks, in order to avoid causing panic among the people, there will definitely be corresponding arrangements.
Besides, the common people who were born at the root of the imperial city may hit a fourth-rank official if a brick is thrown down.
The carriage soon arrived at Duke Lu's mansion. The relationship between the two families was there, so she didn't need to post a post when she came here.
The concierge saw the carriage of King Su's mansion from a distance, and hurriedly trotted into the mansion to report.
Not long after, Mrs. Lu Guogong came out with a smile on her face. Shen Mingjiao jumped out of the carriage, hurriedly raised her hand to support Mrs. Lu Guogong who was about to salute, and deliberately smiled and teased: "Madam smiles so heartily, it must be because people are in good spirits on happy occasions!"
Mrs. Lu Guogong nodded with a smile, and began to dazzle her grandson every day: "Princess, you don't know yet! Lingling was born more than two months ago. He is a big fat boy who looks just like the doll on the New Year picture. It's like, hey! It's a pity that it's not a girl!"
Shen Mingjiao: "..." I always feel that the last sentence is the key point.
"That Lingling is okay, how is her body recovering?"
"Is it okay? Lingling suffered a little while giving birth, but fortunately her master is here!" Speaking of this, she was full of admiration: "It turns out that her master is so powerful in martial arts, she is a contemporary chivalrous woman..."
While talking and laughing all the way, they came to Cui Lingling's yard.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Cui Lingling, who got the news, didn't put on her shoes, so she hurried over:
"Sister Gillian, why didn't you tell me when you came back? I can take the child to see you!"
"Hey, slow down, why are you still so frizzy after being a mother?"
Shen Mingjiao blamed her and held her by the shoulders, carefully looked at her face, saw that she had gained a lot of weight, and looked good, so she felt relieved. He greeted Qin Yan who was chasing after him helplessly.
Qin Yan put a cloak on Cui Lingling, and walked out: "Princess, talk to me, I still have something to deal with in the front yard."
After all, according to etiquette, if there are female guests at home, it is best for men to avoid them. However, he and Cui Lingling are both sons and daughters of the world, so they don't pay much attention to these things. He mainly felt that when a group of women chatted, both parties felt uncomfortable when he was around.
Cui Lingling directly dragged Shen Mingjiao to the back room. Mrs. Lu Guogong sent the man and went back.
"Take me to see the child, by the way, did the clothes I sent back last time still fit?"
When she was in Qin, she estimated that Cui Lingling was about to give birth, so she made two small clothes for the child on the way, and asked someone to send them back to the capital.
Cui Lingling coughed, and said tactfully: "The clothes look good, but they are a bit big. You should be able to wear them in two months."
After entering the house and seeing the small swaddling clothes, I was shocked to realize that the clothes I made were not the usual size.
Shen Mingjiao picked up a small pair of jackets that were only as big as her palm, and smiled mischievously: "So the baby's clothes are so small!"
Although she has seen newborns, she has never raised them after all, and everything is based on feeling.
Shen Mingjiao's eyes were quickly attracted by the little guy lying in the cradle.
It is indeed like Mrs. Lu Guogong said, the chubby little guy, his facial features have been opened, and he has picked out the advantages of his parents. At this time, he is staring at people curiously with a pair of **** eyes, saying that he is as beautiful as in the New Year pictures. The doll is no exaggeration!
Cui Lingling picked up the swaddling baby unskillfully: "Fatty, this is Aunt Wangfei!"
The little guy naturally couldn't understand, he just kept giggling. Shen Mingjiao took out a pair of gold collars that she had prepared long ago, and placed a piece of high-quality jade pendant beside the cradle,
"This is a belated full moon gift."
Cui Lingling is not polite to her either. Put it on the multi-treasure shelf.
What did Shen Mingjiao react to? "This child's name is... Fatty! Did you get it?"
"Yeah! Isn't the name so cute?"
Shen Mingjiao looked at the little guy's beautiful facial features. When he grows up, he will definitely be a handsome boy who can fascinate thousands of girls. She honestly commented: "I think the little guy will hate you when he grows up!"
Cui Lingling didn't care: "I'm still young anyway, let's talk about it later. Come on, give me a hug too..."
Shen Mingjiao gently took the child, and sat down on the Arhat bed beside her.
Cui Lingling was depressed: "Why are you more proficient in hugging than me?"
"I forgot to tell you, I found my sister. My sister's daughter is three years old this year and she looks very cute. I will introduce you to her when she comes to Beijing in two days."
Because they were all rushing back to Beijing on fast horses, and Nuobao was only three years old, Shen Mingshu, mother and daughter could only be escorted back to Beijing in a sedan chair, and the speed was much slower.
Cui Lingling knew that Shen Mingjiao had been looking for her sister, and was also happy for her. The two chatted about the recent gossip in the capital.
The little guy in his arms frowned, and cried out without warning.
Shen Mingjiao was at a loss for a while, and quickly handed the person to Cui Lingling: "Is he hungry?"
Cui Lingling hurriedly took it: "No, I just fed it before you came!"
Because she was nervous, she couldn't control her hand strength very well, and Fatty cried louder.
Cui Lingling felt a heat in his chest, and then blinked his eyes in a daze: "Uh...he seems to have peed!"
Shen Mingjiao: "Then... Hurry up and change the diaper!"
"oh oh…"
Put the child on the bed, Cui Lingling hurriedly began to untie the swaddle, but the more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made, and she didn't even untie the tie for a long time.
Shen Mingjiao couldn't stand it any longer. Just as she was about to help, she saw that she directly tore off the tie with brute force.
"It's this one!" Shen Mingjiao hesitantly took a stack of muslin cloth from the shelf beside her.
But Cui Lingling didn't wrap the diaper properly after messing with her for a long time. Feifei seemed to think that her mother was too unreliable, so she howled loudly.
Shen Mingjiao saw that she was so anxious that her brow was sweating, "How about... let the nanny come and do it!"
"okay…"
In a family like theirs, it is natural for a child to hire a wet nurse. It's just that the master said that breastfeeding for a period of time is good for the child's body, so they usually take care of the child themselves, and only occasionally let the wet nurse help.
She was about to call the nanny over, when Qin Yan, who was about to walk out of the backyard, seemed to have heard the cry of the child, and directly performed the lightness kung fu to the extreme, and quickly returned to the yard. Pushing open the door, pinching the diaper skillfully, fastening the swaddling clothes, and hugging him lightly a few times, the little guy who was crying a moment ago immediately silenced, and showed a big smile at Qin Yan.
This action can be said to be done in one go, better than the most dedicated nanny.
Shen Mingjiao and Haitang were dumbfounded! I've heard of men taking care of children, but I didn't expect men to take care of children so well!
Cui Lingling didn't think there was anything wrong, so he let out a long sigh: "Fortunately, there is a banquet for you!"
Qin Yan coughed: "Call me A Yan, Qin Yan is fine, thank you!"
Cui Lingling smiled sweetly: hooked his finger playfully: "That's so strange! Call me husband, please?
Husband, you look even better today! What would you like to eat today, sir? "
Qin Yanhong shrank her fingers back with her ears red, like a little daughter-in-law being molested by a bully, didn't she already know that? In terms of thick-skinned, he has never been his wife's opponent, so he had to force his voice and say: "What are you talking about, the princess is still here!"
Shen Mingjiao waved her hand generously: "It's okay, you can pretend that I don't exist!"
Qin Yan: "..."
…
Finally watching the child fall asleep, Shen Mingjiao said with emotion: "Now I think it's not easy to take care of the child?"
Cui Lingling, who was eating snacks comfortably, emphasized: "That's not easy!"
Shen Ming gave her a tender look, looked at her rosy pale face, and then at the black and blue under Qin Yan's eyes: "I really didn't see your hard work!"
Cui Lingling smiled awkwardly: "Am I still learning? By the way, when are you and your highness planning to have a child?"
Shen Mingjiao spread her hands: "This depends on fate!"
Now that there is no threat from the crown prince, Feng Lisheng will not go to the border again in a short time. The two of them can indeed consider having a child. but…
"That... how to solve the child avoidance Gu?"
Cui Lingling smiled clearly: "This is simple."
She dug out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine chest, winked at Shen Mingjiao, and whispered: "This is colorless and tasteless, you just add it to the tea and let your highness drink it?
However, child-avoiding Gu is not a clever Gu technique, even if you don't understand it, it will disappear automatically after a year and a half. "
Shen Mingjiao took the porcelain vase, and when she heard this, she always felt that something was overlooked by herself.
The two chatted for a while, and soon it was time for dinner.
The population of Duke Lu’s mansion is simple. Duke Lu didn’t come back from the yamen. The court has been busy recently, and Qin Yan was also called away.
Mrs. Lu Guogong is in charge of entertaining Shen Mingjiao. They are all her own people, and they eat directly in Cui Lingling's yard.
Mrs. Lu Guogong hugged her grandson, and said to Cui Lingling: "Why don't you ask your master to come and eat?"
"Master's whereabouts are uncertain, and he may not be in the courtyard at this moment."
When Cui Lingling was about to give birth, the master came down the mountain to see her, but she knew that the master not only came for her, but also received some orders from Jing and Di.
Although she said so, she still asked the maid to go to the yard where the master was. Not long after, a middle-aged woman in Taoist robes opened the door and walked in.
Mrs. Lu Guogong didn't even hug her grandson, and stood up first: "Nie Xia is here, please sit down, the food will be ready soon."
The woman, Nie Gutang, the leader of the Red Lotus Sect, has a relatively cold personality, but she is obviously a little uncomfortable in the face of Mrs. Lu Guogong's excessive enthusiasm:
"Madam, you are welcome, just call me Nie Gutang."
Mrs. Lu Guogong's face was full of admiration: "How can that be done! Nie Xia is more suitable for your temperament?"
Several people sat down, and the dishes came to the table one after another. Shen Mingjiao looked curiously at the leader of the Red Lotus Sect.
Seeing that she is only wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, and has no other decorations, but looking at her cold temperament, she naturally gives people a feeling that she is extraordinary and refined.
Nie Gutang felt her curious gaze, turned his head and greeted her faintly: "Princess Su is well."
Shen Mingjiao withdrew her gaze, and casually exchanged greetings: "I've heard Lingling say that her master is very powerful, but today it's really better to see it than to hear it!"
Nie Gutang is obviously not good at talking about these scenes, so he just hummed as a response.
After a few puffs, she seemed to think of something, put down the teacup and said to Shen Mingjiao: "Princess should know my master, she is the mother-in-law of Wu's village."
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows unexpectedly: "I know! The bacon made by Grandma Chang is very delicious!"
"Master asked me to tell the princess that you are a person with great merit, and make good use of your talent. There may be unexpected gains in the future!"
She was talking about hypnosis, obviously.
Shen Mingjiao lowered her eyes, vaguely understanding something in her heart.
"Thank you, Granny Chang, for me."
After they finished eating, Mrs. Lu Guogong sent a lot of fresh fruits over. There are still lychees?
Shen Mingjiao took a few and peeled them off to eat, seeing that she would continue to take them. Nie Gutang frowned, and reminded softly: "Lychees are hot, the princess should not eat more now."
Shen Mingjiao thought she was saying that eating too many lychees would cause her to get angry, so she didn't pay much attention to it: "It's okay, I'll eat two more, and I'll go back and make some tea to clear away the heat!"
Unexpectedly, Nie Gutang frowned even more when he heard the words. "You are pregnant, how can you drink tea?"
Shen Mingjiao stopped holding the litchi hand, thinking that she was hallucinating, "What did you say?"
