Chapter 341: Three Days of Bathing

Song Jin woke up in the evening.

After waking up and eating, I felt much more energetic.

The room had been cleaned up by Yin Long and others, and the bed sheets and quilts had been changed. There was no smell of blood, only a faint fragrance of plants and trees. This made Song Jin feel a lot more comfortable.

"Is the young lady awake?"

Yin Long said in surprise, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's fine."

This was not the first child, so Song Jin adapted quickly. She looked around the room but didn't see the child.

"In his grandmother's house."

As soon as Yin Long finished speaking, she saw Li come in with the baby in her arms. After greeting her with concern, Song Jin took the baby and fed him. The baby in the swaddling clothes was just a small ball, but it made her heart melt.

After the child was full, Li did not take the child away, but put the child next to Song Jin to accompany her.

Song Jin lay on his side, his eyes fixed on the child, his brows and eyes extremely gentle.

Qin Chi sneaked in and saw his wife's rare gentle side. He took a few big steps forward and sat on the edge of the bed.

Just then Song Jin looked up at him.

He subconsciously reached out his hand and tidied Song Jin's hair, his movements were extremely gentle, "My lady, you have worked hard."

Song Jin pursed her lips and chuckled, "My husband loves me?"

"Yeah, it hurts."

Qin Chi admitted it generously for the first time.

This made Song Jin slightly stunned, and then the smile between his eyebrows became even more intense, "My husband, please pay more attention to the family affairs."

"Yes."

"That matter of the third day bath."

"You just need to take care of your health, and leave the rest to us." Qin Chi will try his best to shoulder the responsibilities as a father.

He was particularly concerned about the birth of his second son.

The baby was three days old.

Qin Chi got up early and accompanied Li to pick fresh tea leaves, fresh orange leaves and wormwood from the mountain. They put them in a basin, brewed them with boiling water, and then wiped the baby's body of placenta, blood stains, fecal stains, etc.

In Huizhou, it is commonly known as "washing the three days".

After the baby was washed and dressed, Yinlong brought another bench.

"What is this for?" Song Jin was surprised.

When the twins, a boy and a girl, were born, she never got out of bed and did not carefully watch her mother-in-law baptize the children.

Li's eyebrows curved and she said happily, "Drill through a dog hole."

Song Jin was speechless for a moment.

Qin Chi at the side also laughed, "My son crawled into a dog hole just three days after he was born."

Li looked up and rolled her eyes at him, "You also went through it when you were a child. How dare you laugh at your son?"

Seeing Qin Chi being humiliated, Song Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yin Long watched from the side and said with a smile: "Soon the son-in-law will go to deliver the wedding wine."

"Okay, I will do this beautifully." Qin Chi took the child from Li's arms and held him for a long time with unskilled movements.

Everyone was very happy.

Only Song Jin's smile unconsciously faded a little when he heard the wedding wine being delivered.

From the day of the third day of the new birth, the father has to go out to send wedding wine, usually to the child's maternal grandparents, and then to other relatives, such as the eldest and younger aunts.

When Qin Chi went to the kitchen.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Lin have just prepared the wedding wine.

Generally, eggs are fried into poached eggs, commonly known as fried chicken eggs, and then mixed with rice wine and sugar and cooked.

The wedding wine was served in a large teapot.

If a boy is born, cypress branches or green bamboo leaves should be inserted into the spout of the pot. If a girl is born, just put a piece of red paper under the lid of the pot.

Qin Chi was about to set off.

"Hey, Dalang, wait a minute, when sending wedding wine, you have to bring wedding eggs too!"

Xiao Liu quickly reminded loudly.

Lin brought out a basket of red eggs.

Qin Chi took it and took a look. There were twenty-four red-dyed hard-boiled eggs.

Except for the child's maternal grandparents, who accept two eggs, the rest of the relatives usually do not accept any. When the child is one month old, all relatives who have received wedding gifts must send eggs as a return gift. In addition to eggs, the relatives usually also ask for two kilograms of cakes and a certain amount of sugar, sesame oil, and soybean oil.

The maternal grandparents would send eighty to one hundred eggs, various cooking oils and old hens, as well as three to five "nest clothes" for the children.

This is a local custom in Huizhou.

However, the child's maternal grandparents were not there.

Qin Chi thought about sending it to the pharmacy.

The Song Jin and Xing Zhou families are very close. She never says it, but most of the time she treats these two families as her own.

The last time we had a wedding with twins, the wedding banquet was sent to these two families.

Lin couldn't help but remind him again, "Da Lang, the wedding wine should be distributed by bowl. One chicken egg and a little rice wine and sugar water make up one bowl. Each relative who is meeting will have one bowl."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Thank you for your hard work, Second Aunt and Third Aunt."

Qin Chi said with gratitude.

Little Liu waved her hand and said, "Why are you being polite? We are all family."

"It's unorthodox for Dalang to say that." Lin also said.

Qin Chi smiled and said something again before he went out with his things.

There was a carriage parked at the door.

This is to make it convenient for Qin Chi to deliver the wedding wine.

Outside there was not only the driver, Old Li, but also a handsome young man, the grown-up Sanlang. It was he who took the initiative to ask to accompany his elder brother to the wedding banquet today.

Sanlang said with a smile: "Brother, you are in high spirits when you are happy. You look even more handsome."

Qin Chi raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did you learn to be so smooth-talking?"

"I have always been an honest person, so don't get any wrong ideas, brother." Sanlang said as he followed Qin Chi into the carriage.

Old Li drove out of the village, and Qin Ba came out from nowhere and jumped onto the shaft of the car.

They were outside the carriage.

I heard Sanlang and Qin Chi chatting.

The topic ranged from village gossip to major and minor events in Yi County, and then to what people saw and heard in Huizhou, etc. Sanlang was the one talking, and he talked a little incessantly.

Qin Chi has also gained some knowledge.

Qin Ba and Old Li outside also felt that they had learned a lot. In fact, Old Li was still feeling emotional.

"It's delayed, it's delayed!" Old Li murmured.

Qin Ba leaned closer and asked quietly, "What delayed you?"

"A good candidate for gathering intelligence."

Old Li didn't say it explicitly, but Qin Ba understood.

Qin Ba smiled and whispered, "I'll go back and suggest to the young master to take the boy to the capital. It will definitely save us a lot of trouble."

"That's really good." Old Li thought it was worth mentioning.

The carriage left Qinjiagou and went farther and farther away.

The villagers looked at the departing carriage and started chatting. Now everyone knew that Qin Chi's family had a big fat boy.

The delivery of wedding wine went very smoothly.

No one dared to look at Qin Chi in the face; on the contrary, everyone was very enthusiastic.

Qin Chi originally thought that he could stay with his child until the full moon, but then news came from the capital.

Compared with the previous two families, the Yuan family is slightly better.

Emperor Mingcheng had some affection for Yuan Shangshu after all, so he only confiscated 90% of his wealth and asked him to resign and return to his hometown. As for the other members of the Yuan family who were imprisoned, they would be sentenced according to the law.

In addition, it is said that Emperor Ming Cheng asked about Qin Chi at the court meeting.

Yan Xianqing said he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives.

According to this situation, Qin Chi would have to report to the Dali Temple in a month at most. Counting the days, excluding the time on the road, he would not be able to stay in Huizhou for long.
