Chapter 830 The Speculation Caused by Washing Three

The next day, the third day, several of the guests invited came.

The second lady and the Zou family came from the manor over there.

No matter what is going on behind the scenes, both of them are polite in face.

There are many rules in this three-washing ceremony. It is to ask the gods to make offerings to the gods, and it is to eliminate evil spirits. Then, relatives and friends who come to watch the ceremony add basins in the order of elder and youngest, that is, add a small spoon of cold water and gifts into the basin. It is small objects such as gold, silver, bronze and jade or jewelry with silver coins, and it can also be fruits with good meanings such as longan, candied dates, chestnuts, and peanuts.

Adding a basin is to take a bath for the child. After washing, I order dried mugwort leaves, symbolically moxibustion on the baby's forehead through ginger slices, and then apply burnt alum powder to the navel.

After dressing, there are a series of procedures, such as hitting the child three times with a cleanly peeled onion, which is called "smart"; "Gold on the left, silver on the right, you can't spend it to reward people." And so on.

Finally, the tablets of the gods are burned, and the three-washing ceremony is over.

Aunt Li and Aunt Zhao are obviously used to doing this kind of thing, and they are very familiar. During the whole process, the auspicious words in the mouth came out like a flowing water, and they never stopped. The rap-like tone was very pleasant. What "longan, longan, even three yuan", what "wash your hair first, be a prince; wash your waist later, the first generation is taller than the next generation..." and so on, Lian Fangzhou was amazed.

When the pot was added, everyone was very generous. What Bi Tao added was a thousand miles horse made of pure gold. It looked like it was at least five or two weights. Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but glance at her, this girl is too outrageous!

The second lady and the Zou family are all golden locks. Although they look a little light, Huang Chengcheng is gratifying in the end.

What Mrs. Shen added was a delicate and small jade Ruyi, and what Doctor Xue added was a delicate sheathed silver dagger inlaid with fine gems.

The two brothers and sisters Lian Ze and Lian Fangqing were the most valuable.

Lian Zetian used two high-quality Tian Huangshi used to carve seals. The honey-yellow color has a grease-like luster, it is warm and delicate, and the color is pure and free of impurities. Even people who don't know the goods can see it at a glance. Great value.

Mrs. Shen and Xue Yiqing's eyes lit up, and Mrs. Shen exclaimed and praised "Okay!", Xue Yiqing couldn't take his eyes away, and sighed repeatedly: "It's hard to buy such a good thing even if you have money. You have this heart! You have this luck!"

Lian Ze smiled and said, "I also got it by accident. I will give it to my little nephew to engrave a private seal in the future! I heard that this thing is very good for engraving seals."

Xue Yiqing couldn't help but glared at him and said with admiration: "What is excellent? This is Tian Huang! The best Tian Huang! The six virtues of fine, clean, moisturizing, greasy, warm, and condensing stone, 'Emperor Stone' Ah, this is! There are also folk legends that this Tian Huangshi is a gem left in the world when the female misfortune mended the sky. It is also said that it was changed by a phoenix egg, and it is also said that it can drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits. People who hide Tian Huangshi can prolong life and so on. , all in all, it's a very good thing!"

Does Lian Ze not know? Naturally I asked before sending it. In other words, since his sister was pregnant, he has been thinking about what kind of gift to give, racked his brains, and consulted housekeeper Qin, etc. It took him three or four months to get these two at a high price. Yes!

After hearing what Xue Yiqing said, Mrs. Zhang nodded again and again and said yes, and Lian Ze said with a smile, "So, this gift is the right one!"

Originally, the second lady and Mrs. Zou curled their lips in disdain, thinking that such a small piece of broken stone just looks better and more chic, and it is worth a hundred dollars.

Hearing that Xue Yiqing and Madam Zhang admired it so much, their eyes could not help but flicker, and their hearts were burning with covetousness.

Such a good thing!

Lian Fangqing presented a longevity lock in the shape of a ganoderma lucidum head with gold inlaid jade. The gold surface is engraved with exquisite patterns, surrounded by two thumb-cap-sized red sapphire and one longan cat's eye. , The jade in the middle is delicate in texture, white as suet, warm, soft, bright and thick, and it is the best suet jade. It was also very eye-catching and received several compliments.

Lian Fangzhou looked at it and wiped his sweat on his forehead secretly: Fortunately, the customs of the capital are not like some places, and all the items for washing the three-pot basin belong to Po Wen, otherwise she would have lost a lot of money!

But then again, such a valuable object, even if it should belong to Wen Po, Wen Po would not dare to take it easily, right?

This gold inlaid jade and precious stone, the second lady and the Zou family recognize it, and they are even more furious. They can't wait to pick it up and take it away!

After lunch, the crowd dispersed, Li Fu accompanied Lian Fangzhou to watch his son go out for a while, Lian Fangqing sat down next to her sister's bed, tilted her head and said to her with a smile: "Sister, that second aunt of my own family, her family's son. My wife, Sister-in-law Zou, dragged me and talked for a while!"

Lian Fangzhou suddenly became vigilant, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "What did you say? Those two people are not good people. If you see them in the future, don't forget to avoid them. However, if you see them There won't be many opportunities."

Lian Fangqing nodded and said, "Got it!", and then laughed again: "It's really funny, when I was a child, I didn't even take a crutch when I talked, and asked about our family background! Ask What is our family’s annual income in the countryside, how much land does our family have, and whether there is a shop or something!”

Lian Fangzhou's face turned cold, and he sneered for a moment: "No wonder! The gifts you and A Ze gave today are too precious!"

Lian Fangqing snorted and pouted, "So what? I'm happy! Second brother is also happy! Does she care! What does it have to do with her!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled slightly and said, "Then how did you answer her?"

Lian Fangqing smiled and said: "I said, we have a lot of fields in our family, I can't count how many, and the grain harvested every year fills the granary! It's a pity that I can't see it or touch it..."

Lian Fangzhou couldn't help giggling, and laughed at her and said, "You girl can really make fun of people! Didn't you make her so anxious!"

What is this answer? Answering is the same as not answering, but it will make people more and more itchy to know the details. With that temperament of Mr. Zou, it would be strange if he couldn't hold back his questioning!

However, she is unlucky! I'm just afraid what more can I ask Aze to ask! Ask this girl, play her to death and she is still buried in her bones!

Lian Fangqing couldn't help giggling when she remembered the situation of teasing Zou, while laughing and chatting with Lian Fangzhou, the two sisters laughed together.

The second lady and the Zou family were not in such a good mood.
