Chapter 206 Naming
Some people say that they need to change clothes. Generally speaking, they mean going to the hut.
Of course, there are also people who use changing clothes to escape. For example, Emperor Gaozu used the excuse of changing clothes at the Hongmen Banquet to escape. This is the so-called Shit Escape and Urine Escape.
Zhang Xing also thought she really wanted to change clothes, but when she was helped back to the house and looked at the clothes she had changed, she discovered that they were stained with blood.
I was so frightened at the moment that I burst into tears with a cry of "wow".
“What’s wrong, Si Niang?”
Zhang Xiahou heard crying outside and rushed in quickly.
Zhang Xing threw himself into his mother's arms and said in a tearful tone, "Mom, I'm sick and bleeding from below. Am I going to die?"
Zhang Xiahou, who had had a premonition for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Hearing her little daughter's words, she patted her back with laughter and tears, and comforted her: "Sister, please don't cry. This is not because you are sick, but because you have come to Tiangui." .”
“Tiangui?”
Zhang Xing raised his head with tears in his eyes, confused.
"Yes," Zhang Xiahou squatted down, wiped her tears, and said with a smile, "Six Niang is going to grow up, and she will be an adult from now on."
The little daughter came to Tiangui, Zhang Xiahou was happy, but also a little sad.
I am happy that she is finally growing up, but sad that when she grows up, she will have to get married and leave her, and I don’t know which son will be taken advantage of?
"Okay, okay, don't cry. Put on clean clothes first, and then go to the back room to rest."
Zhang Xiahou stood up, touched Zhang Xing's head lovingly, and said.
“What about you, mother?”
Zhang Xing nodded obediently, but held onto Zhang Xiahou's hand tightly.
The little girl encountered the first major event in her life for the first time. Although she no longer felt afraid after hearing her mother's explanation, she still felt vaguely nervous.
"Good boy, be obedient. Grandma will ask the servants to make some **** soup for you to drink. Remember not to touch anything cold these days, okay? I won't be going to the palace today. You are not feeling well and are not suitable for traveling. .”
When Zhang Xing heard this, he let go of his hand.
“But, my daughter wants to go to the palace to see her sister...”
“I’ll go back in a few days when you feel better...”
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiahou was startled for a moment, and then he remembered that his daughter had grown up, and I'm afraid she couldn't come in and out of the palace as she used to, right?
Although the emperor is her brother-in-law, there are differences between men and women after all.
Zhang Xing, however, didn't notice Zhang Xiahou's expression. After listening to his mother's words, he happily turned around and changed his clothes again.
Can't enter the palace today. The younger daughter just saw blood and the eldest daughter is pregnant again. It is always unlucky for the two to meet.
Zhang Xiahou thought this, then turned around and went out. She wanted to arrange things.
After Zhang Xing changed his clothes, he was about to go out. Suddenly he remembered something, turned around and picked up the wool pants he had changed into, and saw a large blood stain on them.
I pouted immediately, and tears of distress almost fell down my face.
These are new clothes given to me by Feng Langjun. They have only been worn for two days and they have become like this. I wonder if they can be washed clean?
Seeing that her mother was not there, she carefully wrapped her woolen pants and put them behind her back, then opened the door gently, and looked around. Except for the maid waiting outside the door, there was no one else.
Then he quickly returned to his room holding his pants.
The maid quickly brought the hot water. Zhang Xing waved her little hand and asked her to go out. Then she closed the door, took out her pants, dipped the blood-stained area into the basin, and imitated the servant's washing method. He looked like he was rubbing it hard.
These wool pants and that dress are the same set. Now she is the only one in Jincheng who owns them, and Feng Langjun asked someone to make them specially for her.
Feng Langjun said in the letter that this was designed by him personally, and it is different from others!
That's why Zhang Xing was anxious to wash it, but he couldn't wait for his servants to wash it.
Unexpectedly, she listened to her mother's words and knew that she was not allowed to touch anything cold these days, even cold water, so she thought of herself as a smart person and wanted to use hot water to wash her.
Unexpectedly, it is better to wash the blood stain with cold water first, but once it comes into contact with hot water, it will be difficult to wash it off.
So she saw that although the blood stains on the pants were washed away, no matter how hard she rubbed them, the faint red layer could not be washed away.
As he washed, Zhang Xing’s tears just flowed down.
At this time, only two clicks of the door were heard, and Mrs. Zhang Xiahou asked from outside: "Siniang, open the door."
Zhang Xing was startled, and quickly wiped his tears with the back of his hand, then hid the basin in a corner in a panic, and then ran to open the door.
Although her daughter's eyes were red, Zhang Xiahou knew that she had cried once not long ago, so she didn't pay too much attention to it. She didn't expect that she cried again before opening the door.
“Here, drink this bowl of **** soup.”
Zhang Xiahou put the bowl on the table and said to Zhang Xing.
"so spicy!"
Zhang Xing took a few sips, stuck out his tongue, and said to Mr. Zhang Xiahou with a bitter look on his face.
“You should drink up all the spicy food, it’s good for your body. Besides, drinking **** soup in winter will keep you warm.”
Zhang Xiahou watched Zhang Xing finish the **** soup, then took her hand and told her in detail the private matters that her daughter's family should know.
Zhang Xing felt a fever on his face after hearing this. He didn't know whether it was because the **** soup had an effect or because he was shy.
"So, every daughter's family has to have this time. Si Niang, you have to remember that when you grow up, you will never be the same as before. A lady should look like a lady, and don't be laughed at. go."
After Zhang Xiahou finished speaking, he patted Zhang Xing's hand and said, "Also, when you grow up, you need to have a proper name, and you can no longer use a nickname. What kind of name does Si Niang want?"
“What does the mother want to name her daughter?”
Zhang Xing threw herself into Zhang Xiahou's arms. When she heard this, she raised her head again and asked with a red face.
Once the daughter's family has given her a name, she is considered to be a daughter-in-law. Only after she marries can her husband's family take the name.
"It stands to reason that your name was given by your grandson, but since your grandson is gone, it will be taken by your brother. But we are a family of military commanders, and we are not as good as those families with poetry and books. Your eldest brother doesn't like reading either. I can’t even think of a good name for it.”
Zhang Xiahou sighed, with a little regret on his face.
“Your second brother is quite knowledgeable, I can make him think of one.”
“Is my sister also named after my second brother?”
Zhang Xing asked curiously.
"Of course not. She named it herself." Zhang Xiahou couldn't help but smile, "Back then, your sister thought your grandma's name was not nice, so she made a fuss to choose it herself."
“At that time, there happened to be a colorful butterfly flying outside her window, so she picked up the colorful character.”
Zhang Xiahou had a look of reminiscence on her face, and she said this leisurely, seeming to have remembered an interesting story about her eldest daughter who had become a queen.
