Chapter 242
Qi You stretched out his hand and wanted to pick up the baby. When he touched the baby's soft body, he stopped, as if he didn't dare to hug him.
Xun Qingran couldn't help but feel funny. She half sat up, held the baby, and handed it to Qi You's palm. Qi You dragged the baby's small body with both palms and looked down at him.
"Our daughter," Qi You said after a while, "It's so beautiful."
Xun Qingran burst into laughter. The newborn baby, with his eyes closed, and his red face without a blooming bloom, I don’t know where Qi You saw that his daughter was beautiful.
Xun Qingran complained so much that she completely forgot that she also thought that her daughter was a little beauty.
"Xuanxuan." Qi You carried the baby girl to his chest and called in a low voice. The little baby was soft and soft in his arms. This was his first child and Xun Qingran, who was born to him after ten months of pregnancy and suffered from childbirth.
The children of the Qi family generation have the same name as jade. Qi You and Xun Qingran have already started discussing the name of this child, and wrote a letter to the second master of Qi back, and finally decided on the word Xuan. It was agreed that both boys and girls would be called Qi Xuan.
"Is the nickname of my daughter called Xuanxuan?" Qi You asked Xun Qingran for advice, "How can I scatter grass and talk about the back of a tree?"
Qi You read "Wei Feng Boxi", which comes from the "Book of Songs". The sacred grass is daylily, also known as the Forgetful Grass.
"Okay." Xun Qingran nodded, and the character "Xuan" is different but homophones.
"Fourth Master, you should let grandma take a break." Madam Xu walked in with a bowl of hot soup and whispered, "This soup is a prescription prescribed by Dr. Lu, which can replenish qi and blood for grandma."
It was already bright outside at this time. Xun Qingran waved to Madam Xu to bring Tang over, and then said to Qi You, "Fourth Master, it's getting late. It's time for the Fourth Master to clean up and go to the yamen."
"I won't go today." Qi You ordered Madam Xu, "Go and tell Lord Tang that I won't go to the yamen today. If there is anything that I can handle, let him and Lord Dong watch and deal with it."
Qi You put Xuan'er back to Xun Qingran and took the soup bowl.
Madam Xu agreed and retreated.
Xun Qingran reached out and wanted to take the soup bowl. Qi You took a silver spoon and scooped the hot soup to Xun Qingran's lips. Xun Qingran was stunned for a moment before he realized that Qi You wanted to feed her the soup.
Seeing Xun Qing's hair frightened, Qi You took his hand back and took a sip. He added medicinal materials to the soup, which was a little bitter, but the heat was just right. Qi You then scooped the soup again and sent it to Xun Qing's lips.
…………
On the night when Xun Qingran gave birth, almost all the people in the Governor's House were busy all night. When Xun Qingran gave birth successfully, Qi You ordered the reward to come. Everyone in the house knew that Xun Qingran had a daughter, and some even sighed regretfully. However, when they saw the amount of rewards they received, they heard that Qi You did not go to the yamen, but stayed at home to accompany Xun Qingran to have a good child. Naturally, everyone understood that although this child was a girl, he was actually the pearl in Qi You's hand.
In Xinlan Courtyard, Xin Fuhao sat there, with dark blue eyes under his eyes. Jinling and Yinling put up breakfast, and Jinling handed the chopsticks to Xin Fuhao. Xin Fuhao took the chopsticks and put them down again.
"Girl, but the food is not to your taste?" Jinling and Yinling looked at each other and asked Xin Fu, "What do the girl want to eat? The maid let the girl make it for the girl to eat."
"No need, I have no appetite." Xin Fuhao, "Please take it down."
"The girl didn't eat anything last night and didn't sleep well at night. What's so great?" Jin Ling said worriedly.
"How is the main courtyard?" Xin Fu asked.
"It turns out that the girl is worried about her wife's side." Jin Ling smiled, "Just just delivered food in the kitchen, saying that the wife had just given birth, and it was not a few hours in total. People say that the wife's life is good and the mother and daughter are safe."
Xin Fu Hao heard the eyes lit up behind him, "Madam has given birth to a daughter?...Ahem, Madam is in good health."
"It is said that women suffer from having children, but my wife didn't suffer much this time." Jin Ling said while putting the food on the table into the food box.
"Don't take it anymore. I feel relieved when I heard that everything is fine for my wife. Suddenly I have an appetite." Xin Fu said happily.
"Yes." Jin Ling glanced at Xin Fu for a good look and agreed to set the meal again.
"Sister Jinling." A little girl outside waved to Jinling.
Jinling winked at Yinling and asked her to serve Xin Fu as she had a good meal and was about to leave. Xin Fuhao also saw the little girl outside.
"What's the matter? Let her come in and say it." Xin Fu Hao ordered.
Jin Ling thought about it, then called the little girl in and asked her what was wrong.
"Mrs. I am very happy when I gave birth to a sister. I just ordered someone to send a reward. The maid told Sister Jinling that when the manager of the main courtyard was free, I should go and get it back." The little girl said happily.
"The people in our yard didn't go to serve us, and we also have rewards for money?"
The little girl nodded. "Some of them, the rewards that came up to serve are naturally more. The ones who came to Wang's house at the second gate passed a message and got a reward of one or two. I heard that the two midwifes had seen the world and received the red envelope, and they were so happy that they couldn't stop. I really don't know how much the adults gave them. There are rewards throughout the mansion, and this yard belongs to Sister Jinling, so rewards are bound to be indispensable."
Jinling and Yinling were also filled with joy.
"Sister should go quickly. It's said that the adults are happy. I won't go to the yamen today and I will accompany my newly born sister at home. The sisters will go to congratulate you earlier, and maybe I can get some extra rewards." The little girl added.
"You guys go down first." Xin Fu Hao put down the chopsticks, but suddenly she lost her appetite again.
……………………
In the main yard, Xun Qingran drank a bowl of soup, and her whole body felt warm, and fatigue and sleepiness also surged.
Qi You helped Xun Qingran lie down, "You are so tired, let's sleep for a while."
As Qi You said, he moved Xuan'er, who was sleeping well, to Xun Qingran. His careful appearance made Xun Qingran feel funny and his whole body feel comfortable.
Her first child, as she wished, was born because of the love of her parents, was expected and would be cared for in the future. She felt her daughter's warm little body leaning against her, and Qi You's steady breathing next to her, Xun Qingran's heart felt unprecedented stability, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep.
Qi You didn't sleep all night, and was also energetic at this time, with his eyes only on the faces of Xun Qingran and his little daughter.
When Madam Xu came in from outside again, she saw this scene. Qi You was gently tucking the corners of Xun Qingran, and her face was rarely gentle. Xun Qingran and the little baby girl were sleeping in the dark.
Madam Xu stood at the door and quietly retreated. She still had a lot of things to arrange. Qi You did not break into the delivery room when Xun Qingran gave birth, but thanks to Xun Qingran's success. Seeing Qi You's current appearance, if he was completely isolated from Xun Qingran during Xun Qingran's confinement period, it would be impossible to do anything. Madam Xu looked around and calculated in her mind that the next room was arranged for Xuan'er, and she had to pack up another room for Qi You to live in. This way, outsiders would not break the rules, but it would also be convenient for the couple to meet and take care of their daughter together.
Madam Xu made up her mind and immediately took someone to pack up.
"Looking at the nanny who has been busy all night, the wind is still coming from her feet." An old woman smiled and said with apologizing.
"Do you feel happy when you are happy?" Madam Xu smiled. The masters and their husbands are beautiful, and she can do things smoothly. Without those evil methods, she can enjoy more years of blessings.
…………
It was already mid-autumn weather, and Xun Qingran had already passed the confinement period. Now she was wearing a home-cooked autumn-scented jacket and was sitting on the couch, looking at the list in her hand.
Madam Xu, Platycodon, and Malt were serving underground, and the wives in charge of the affairs were in and out.
"Grandma, the opera troupe has been decided. In addition to the two families in Pingxi Town, the Fourth Master also invited a opera troupe from Longxi, and it has arrived." A wife in charge came in and reported.
Xun Qingran nodded and said she knew. "In my opinion, these two people in Pingxi Town are enough. It is the Fourth Master. He insisted that it was not lively enough. He even invited them from afar. Since he is here, please arrange for them to stay."
The wife in charge agreed with a smile, "Sister is the fourth master's first child, and the fourth master loved from the heart. The slave looked at it, and it was my grandmother who persuaded me, and the fourth master said that he would save money."
Xun Qingran smiled and shook her head, handed the list in her hand to Madam Xu. Xuan'er's three-month wash and full moon were all arranged. During this 100th day, Qi You even arranged for a big deal. Seeing Qi You's high interest, Xun Qingran was not too disobeying his intentions.
"Just follow this order and add another horse to the flying dove." Xun Qingran ordered.
"Horse stepping on the flying dove..." Madam Xu took the order.
"My grandma is afraid she has never heard of Mata Feijiu. It is a famous dish from her grandma's hometown Yingchuan. My uncle loves it very much." Kikyo said with a smile.
"Yes, my uncle should be here too." Madam Xu suddenly realized.
"It is said that he has entered the territory of Pingxi Town. Yesterday, the Fourth Master sent a carriage to greet him." Baozhu said, "It's not today, it will be here tomorrow at the latest."
"May, go and see what's wrong with the house that I cleaned up for my uncle." Xun Qingran ordered May.
"My maid is going now." Malt responded crisply.
Madam Xu and others also retreated and gave Xuan'er a hundred days. They all had deacons.
Xun Qingran reached out and took out Xun Junhui's letter from the wooden box next to her. She successfully gave birth to Xuan'er, and Qi You went to the Beijing Central Committee. The Qi Mansion immediately sent a lot of things over. After receiving the letter, Xun Junhui immediately replied, saying that he wanted to see her and her newborn niece. Xun Qingran felt that the journey was long and Xun Junhui also had errands now, so he said that he would not use it. The two brothers and sisters depended on each other since childhood and knew each other very well. Before Xun Qingran could write a letter back to dissuade him, Xun Junhui's second letter arrived, saying that he had already taken leave and set a date for his trip. He could not catch up with Xuan'er's full moon, but he had to come a hundred days before Xuan'er to celebrate his niece for a hundred days.
