Chapter 564 Lung tube and heart socket

The birth gift is a custom of giving gifts and food to the son-in-law's family after a woman becomes pregnant. She hopes that pregnant women will give birth naturally, give birth more children, have men and women, etc. According to the custom of Kang'an, the birth gift can be given when the pregnant woman is eight months old, or after the woman is in the fertility month. It is said early or late. If the pregnant woman is in the fertility period, it will be given when the pregnant woman is in the fertility month. If the pregnant woman is in the fertility period, it will be given when the pregnant woman is in the fertility month. If the second half of the month is in the fertility month, it will be given after the fertility month.

Yazheng's birth gift was in the early lunar month, so the Su family's birth gift had been delivered to Jiang Mansion long ago. Wang Youying's birth gift was in the late lunar month. The Wang family should have given birth gifts at the beginning of the lunar month. Now it's mid-12th lunar month. It's not delivered yet. Even if my uncle and Kong are not at home, my grandmother is sick and she doesn't care about her. There are dozens of female relatives in the Wang family, so it's not the turn of my sister to prepare for the birth gift!

Jiang Liu put down the chopsticks and asked in a ignorant manner, "Grandma, when will the eldest cousin be born? Should I give birth gifts?"

Mrs. Wang sighed, "Your cousin should give birth on the 25th and 26th of this month. It is said that the birth gift should be given in October, but the Zhang family said that they would give it again in the twelfth lunar month, and it was delayed until now after a while."

In October, my uncle was still in prison and had not yet been relieved of Wen Su. The Zhang family refused to give birth gifts because they were afraid of causing bad luck. Wang Youying's father-in-law offered sacrifices in the Hanlin Academy, and the crime Wang Fangyu committed was the most shameful and humiliating person in the eyes of scholars. Jiang Liu once heard the Zhang family gossip at the banquet, saying that if Wang Youying had not been pregnant, the Zhang family would have divorced her.

If it was something else, my grandmother told Jiang Muyan to do it, but she didn't want to do this. Jiang Muyan couldn't say anything to refuse, so she just lowered her head to deal with it in silence.

Mrs. Wang continued, "Your aunt went to Wen Su to take care of your uncle, and grandma was not energetic. After thinking about it, this matter still needs..."

Before grandmother called her sister again, Jiang Liu interrupted her, pretending to be innocent and curious, and asked, "Grandma, what are the birth rituals?"

Mrs. Wang asked with a smile, "Did Liu'er see the birth gift sent by the Su family?"

Jiang Liu answered with confidence, "Liu'er went out to play, but she didn't see it."

"Cough—Cough—" Mrs. Wang couldn't help coughing a few times, and then rinsed her mouth in detail. "The birth gift should be filled with a bunch of millet poles in a basin, covered with raw colored scutellaria, and then inserted flowers and grass, five men and two women, sleeping sheep and lying deer, this is the main gift. In addition, six boxes of steamed buns, one hundred and twenty duck eggs, sheep, jujube, chestnut, rice, teeth embroidered, colorful clothes..."

Grandma finished talking endlessly, and curious baby Jiang Liu continued to ask, "What kind of basin should be used for filling millet poles?"

"Grandma must speak less and nourish the energy, I know this." Wang Youhan took the conversation and replied, "The basin that gives birth gifts can be made of gold basins, silver basins, gold-plated basins or wooden basins with paint. If you send them to the Zhang family, it is best to use gold-plated silver basins. The silver basins are not good in color and the gold basins are too expensive. The wooden basins will make the Zhang family feel that our Wang family does not value their married daughters, grandmother, what do you think?"

Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Jiang Liu said, "Didn't my cousin tell my grandmother to talk less and nourish her energy?"

The girl should be gentle and polite. Wang Youhan did not fight with Jiang Liu, and said according to her words, "Liu'er is right, grandma, just nod or shake your head."

Mrs. Wang nodded gently.

"Gold-plated silver basin," Jiang Liu repeated, and then asked, "Since the birth gift we have to prepare is clear, why did my grandmother ask my sister to prepare? Is there no one in the Wang family to buy it, and I don't know where to buy it or is it not enough money to buy it?"

Jiang Liu slapped the faces of the three grandparents and grandchildren of the Wang family like a slap in the face. The three of them all changed their faces. Mrs. Wang seemed to be penetrated and coughed heart-wrenchingly.

Wang Youhan and Jiang Muyan on both sides immediately stood up and patted her on the back. The maid, who was holding the spittoon, and the mouthwash, and the mouthwash, were very busy. Wang Tunan, the concubine who was the most invisible prince of the Wang family, was so scared that he retreated aside and was at a loss.

Standing behind Jiang Liu, the wet nurse Zhao stood up straight and felt so happy.

When Mrs. Wang finished her medicine and was lying on the bed and breathing heavily, Wang Youxin held her little face and couldn't help but blame Jiang Liu, "Sister Liu'er, look at you making your grandmother angry!"

Jiang Liu is the youngest here, but her face is even heavier than Wang Youxin and her eyes are colder than Wang Youhan. The first time she saw such a Jiang Liu Wang sister, she didn't dare to look at her, and turned her head. Jiang Liu's eyes finally fell on her grandmother who was closed and resting, and asked quietly, "I said something unruly and angry that grandmother, please tell me clearly."

The Wang sisters were speechless, Jiang Muyan said, "There is no word that Liu'er said is not in compliance with the rules. Grandma's grandmother is at ease to recuperate. The rituals of the birth are bought by the people in the house according to the rules, and it is most appropriate to send them to the Zhang family. If you lack the money for the birth ceremony, Yan'er can send someone back to the house to collect them."

If Jiang Liu's words poked her lungs, Yan'er's words would poke her heart. Old Mrs. Wang slowly raised her trembling hand, "Yan'er Liu, you all go out."

"Yes." Wang Youhan pulled his sister out, and Wang Tunan also retreated. Jiang Liu looked at his sister, Jiang Muyan nodded slightly to her, and Jiang Liu took the wet nurse and maid back out.

Mrs. Wang held the granddaughter's hand in her old and cold hands and said in pain, "Liu'er doesn't understand...it's fine, Yan'er takes it seriously, cough, don't understand grandma's thoughts? There is something undesirable in our family. Your cousin is in the Zhang family, cough, it's hard. Now the only one who can help her face is...Yan'er."

Grandma's hand was very cold, as cold as when she was holding her mother before she passed away. Jiang Muyan was panicked and afraid, and tears fell down, "Yan'er understands your feelings. Don't worry, after my cousin gave birth, she would wash the rituals of San and San La, and the Jiang family would send everything to the Zhang family according to the rules."

"Cough... Cough..." She said this, but Yan'er still refused to agree to go to the Zhang family to send a birth gift instead of her. Mrs. Wang asked gasping, "Yan'er is still blaming your cousin for breaking your mother's wedding dress?"

Jiang Muyan's phoenix eyes were lowered. After a moment of silence, she said while crying, "Yan'er prepared a gift for her cousin to induce birth. Yan'er didn't want the Jiang family to be pointed at because of this."

He asked Yan'er to prepare the birth gift, but he really didn't think about what would happen to the Jiang family. Mrs. Wang breathed heavily and said for a while, "It was my grandmother who was negligent. You Han's cousin will prepare. When the Zhang family's news announcement is delivered to the Jiang family, Yan'er will go and see your cousin again."

Jiang Muyan replied softly, "Grandma, my mother's birth period is similar to that of my cousin. If my mother has not yet been born in the Zhang family, Yan'er will definitely go there; if my mother is born, Yan'er should serve her mother at home and take care of her younger siblings."

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, "Wang Youying is your relative's cousin, and Yazheng is just your stepmother."
