Fuling handed the baby in the swaddling clothes to Yu Jiao and said with a smile, "I just named her Nanrao."
"Nanling ragweed? It has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving blood stasis." Yu Jiao took the child and touched her chubby little face affectionately. The little girl blinked her big eyes like black grapes and blew bubbles with her fingers in her mouth.
Yu Fuling smiled and said, "My father gave it to me. It's a tradition in our family that all girls' names are herbal."
Zhao Yu made some hot tea and brought it into the room, saying, "Come in and sit down."
Yu Jiao took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva from the corners of Xiao Nanrao's mouth, handed the little girl to Fuling, and asked Bai Lu to go to the carriage and get the gifts she brought from the capital.
"The longevity lock in this box was given to Xiao Nanruo by Qizhe. I saw that he has been keeping it in his study. I think he has prepared it long ago."
Yu Fuling looked at the exquisite and heavy gold lock in the box and felt warm in her heart. She only had one brother, Yu Qizhe, and before she got married, her heart and eyes were filled with her brother.
Knowing that he had a dull personality, Yu Fuling didn't think about anything else. She just hoped that he could take good care of himself in the capital city.
Who would have thought that he also cared about her as his sister and niece!
Yu Fuling refused, saying, "This thing is too valuable. How can Xiao Nanruo wear this in the countryside? You can melt it down and have someone make a piece of jewelry..."
Yu Jiao said helplessly: "Sister Fuling, this is Qizhe's intention."
She opened another box, which contained a pair of pearl earrings and a pair of small gold bracelets. She smiled and said, "This is a gift from me to you and little Nanrao. The pearl earrings are from my elder sister, and the small gold bracelets are from Nanrao. Don't say no, or I will be unhappy. Qizhe and I were not there when little Nanrao was born."
Yu Fuling had no choice but to say, "I'll take it, but you're not allowed to spend money like this in the future. Everything in the capital costs money, and the expenses are nothing compared to what we have in the countryside. You and Qizhe are going to live together for a long time, so you have to learn to be thrifty."
Yu Jiao responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I understand."
Yu Fuling said warmly, "Since you are back, stay here for a few more days. I will ask your brother-in-law to go to the city to buy some meat, and I will cook a delicious meal for you today."
After saying this, he called Zhao Yu to go to the city to cut meat.
Zhao Yu was about to leave without saying a word. Yu Jiao tried to stop him but failed, so she had to let him go.
"Sister, I'm leaving tomorrow and will only stay in Xixun County for one night." Yu Jiao said.
Yu Fuling was anxious and asked in confusion: "You just came back, why are you in such a hurry to go to the capital? Stay at home for a few more days. Even though our yard is not big, there are four rooms in the house. I'll go and pack the bedding..."
Seeing Yu Fuling standing up, Yu Jiao hurriedly held her back and said, "It's been more than a month since I came here and there. Qizhe is alone in the capital, and I'm worried about him. Fei Ge'er also has to go to the academy to study, so we can't delay him."
She did not mention the danger she almost encountered on the official road, but just made up some excuses.
Yu Fuling was a little disappointed. "I thought you could stay a little longer and spend a few more days with me!"
Yu Jiao smiled and comforted her: "When your brother-in-law is not busy, you can take Xiao Nanruo to the capital and let Qi Zhe meet his little niece."
Cheng Ying, who had been serving as a background board at the side, listened to her calling "Qizhe" over and over again, feeling depressed and uncomfortable, with jealousy and helplessness mixed together. He went to the yard to get some fresh air in silence.
Yu Fuling noticed him and asked Yu Jiao in a low voice: "Who is this? Why did he come with you?" He didn't look like a servant and was so handsome.
Yu Jiao followed Yu Fuling's gaze and saw Cheng Ying standing under the locust tree in the yard, with a worried look on her face.
"He, he also came from the capital. We met by chance in Changkui, and then returned to the capital together." Yu Jiao did not mention Cheng Ying's identity. Ordinary people always look at eunuchs with some strangeness.
