The birth of Liu Jin brought a sigh of relief to the Zhao family. Although they did not discriminate against girls, at that time, every family needed a boy to carry on the family line.
Zhao Qingyi gave birth to a boy, so she won't have any pressure about whether her future children will be boys or girls.
Moreover, this boy will have a great responsibility in the future; he will have to protect his younger siblings.
Especially after a younger sister is born, there's no need for an older brother to protect her.
Otherwise, she would end up like Xi, a girl who only had one son, married into a family, and suffered for nothing.
There's no way to analyze this.
After hearing Huang's explanation of the theory of having sons, Wang Huaijing looked at his own son and felt sorry for the boy no matter how he looked at him.
However, after thinking about it again, he felt relieved about the Zhao family's traditions. Having so many brothers-in-law was actually quite nice.
The men of the Zhao family in the county, including Zhao Qinglin, Zhao Qinghe, Xu Dongsheng, Yunyou, and Zhao Jinfa's wife from Qingshan Xiaozhu, all came to visit the next day.
"Old man, what brings you here? What did the person who notified you say yesterday?"
Mrs. Huang was quite surprised to see her men arrive; she hadn't expected them to come so quickly.
"Hey, what did we say? We told them our eldest granddaughter was about to give birth. We discussed it and decided to take the day off and come over."
"What is my granddaughter's child? How is she?" Zhao Qianci asked.
"The boy's name is Liujin. Our eldest granddaughter is doing well."
The baby was born in the middle of the night, and slept until dawn. I just ate something; I wonder if I'm sleepy now.
Zhao Changgeng's gaze was so intense, it almost pierced through his own mother.
"Mom, how does my grandson look? Isn't he handsome?"
I haven't seen my eldest son look so silly in a long time.
"So handsome! How could my great-grandson not be handsome?"
The next sentence was not something Zhao Changgeng wanted to hear.
"Even if it looks nice, I can't show it to you now; the baby has just finished nursing and is asleep."
Well, Zhao Changgeng was very disappointed.
Meanwhile, Wang Huaijing and his brothers-in-law were already exchanging congratulations.
Soon, the men of the Zhao family were settled into the living room.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Huaijing quickly ordered a banquet to be prepared and invited his own father over from the front yard.
Naturally, all the men of the Zhao family congratulated their in-laws.
"Having a daughter late in life is sure to bring her great fortune..."
Even the person making these auspicious remarks probably doesn't believe them themselves.
But it just came out of Zhao Qianci's mouth, which was usually so honest.
Before the servant in charge of purchasing could even ask his master how many tables of food to prepare for the banquet, the Zhao family arrived.
As a future uncle-in-law, Xu Dongsheng gave Wang Huaijing's sister a piece of brocade and his nephew a piece of warm jade.
"Brother-in-law, I've been learning from my master recently. It was last night that my second sister told me that my other sister was born, and I also heard that they're coming over today."
Since there wasn't much time, I prepared this piece of fabric for my younger sister, which is said to be perfect for making clothes for children.
As for your son, my nephew, I hope this piece of warm jade brings him peace and good fortune.
The gifts Xu Dongsheng gave him were basically prepared by Han Xuri.
Although he intended to give all those things to Zhao Qingyi, they still needed to be categorized.
For example, the silk given to Wang Huaijing's sister was obviously of excellent quality, but Xu Dongsheng felt that the light pink color was not quite suitable for his wife.
It's not that my wife doesn't look good in light pink, but she once said that she dislikes pink the most because it's too girly.
That's why Xu Dongsheng brought that delicate pink fabric as a gift. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to part with anything.
As for the warm jade, he was willing to part with it.
The jade was fine jade, but it was a "nothing to worry about" plaque that he had personally crafted.
There are no carvings on it.
Clearly, he felt his skills weren't good enough yet, so he gave away the "nothing to worry about" plaque.
As for whether my brother-in-law wants to further refine the "nothing to worry about" plaque, that's not within his consideration.
Please forgive his stinginess.
In Xu Dongsheng's eyes, all the best things should belong to his wife. Only scraps are meant to be given away.
Of course you could give him something else instead of something you made yourself; he wouldn't like it if you didn't.
Wang Huaijing was extremely satisfied with Xu Dongsheng's generosity when he received the gift from his brother-in-law.
He thought to himself that his brother-in-law was really generous; the brocade was clearly not something that could only be found in towns and counties, and the warm jade was even more hard to come by.
The uncarved piece is even better than the carved one. I can find a good craftsman to carve it later, so as not to waste this good material.
Sending such an expensive gift shows how much he values himself, his wife, and his children.
In his mind, this brother-in-law was even more perfect.
However, Xu Dongsheng, who adhered to the principle of being stingy, was unaware that...
My brother-in-law was so certain. If he knew, he would definitely give me a strange look and say, "You're overthinking it."
Yunyou then gave each of the two children a protective amulet, which was said to have been consecrated before the Buddha and had been chanted for forty-nine days.
This shows how precious the two amulets are.
Zhao Qinglin and Zhao Qinghe each prepared two sets of clothes for their nephew, which they made themselves.
That's not all. Early in the morning, Zhao Qinglin had someone slaughter one of her own pigs and bring over everything except the head and internal organs.
In addition, they also brought various kinds of green vegetables.
I had originally intended to ask my master about the procurement process, specifically how many banquet tables were needed.
Now there's no need to ask anymore. One pig plus all those vegetables is enough to eat as much as you want.
Xi Chunhua, who was recuperating in the front yard, was very envious when she learned that Zhao Qingyi's family had come and brought meat and vegetables, and everything was prepared perfectly.
He said to his eldest daughter,
"The Zhao family is just different."
Look at this, when a woman marries out of her family and has a baby, her family sends her meat and vegetables, they practically bring the cook with them.
If your father and his family had even a shred of humanity, your mother wouldn't have taken you and run away in the first place.
That's something we can't compare to. Fortunately, your mother has finally overcome her hardships and given birth to your sister.
Your mother just hopes you can find a good home.
When Mother's month is over, you really should go and meet that Lü Feng.
"At that time, we'll ask Mr. Yun to match your birth dates and times. If it's a good match, then you can get married, and you can have many sons."
Listening to her mother's nagging, the little girl nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, Mother, don't worry about me for now. It's more important for you to take good care of yourself during your postpartum period."
Mother, everyone hopes their daughter can marry into a wealthy or influential family.
For example, with my current social standing and a younger brother who is a scholar who passed the imperial examination, I should be able to marry into a good family.
Why did you take a liking to Lü Feng?
Xi was simply trying to find something to talk about for her mother.
Otherwise, yesterday my younger sister held her third-day celebration and none of her family members came, but today my younger brother had a baby and a whole bunch of his family members came. That's really enviable.
