Jiang Si misses his brother who is far away in southern Xinjiang very much.
"I don't know if my second brother can adapt to life in Southern Xinjiang. The weather and food in the south are different from those in the capital..."
Yu Jin got angry when he heard this and said unhappily, "What's wrong with a grown man? Eat when you're supposed to, drink when you're supposed to. If you can't sleep well and can't adapt, it's simply because you're not tired."
I remember that when he went to the South he was only twelve years old, and no one seemed to feel sorry for him.
Of course, he didn't care about other people's sympathy, but at that time, Ah Si had no impression of him, let alone sympathy.
Thinking of this, Yu Jin became secretly more jealous of Jiang Zhan.
A fool has his own luck, this is what is said about people like Jiang Zhan. A smart man like him has to feel sorry for himself before he gets married.
Someone who was extremely unbalanced in his heart looked at his wife and said with ill intention: "The women in Southern Xinjiang are different from those in Beijing. They are all passionate and bold. Maybe Jiang Zhan already has a lover now——"
Jiang Si grabbed Yu Jian's ears and asked with a half-smile, "Passionate and courageous? I wonder how many passionate and courageous girls you have met in Southern Xinjiang?"
Yu Jian cursed inwardly, he was so focused on digging a hole for Jiang Er that he accidentally buried himself.
"Ahem, Asi, you know me. I won't even look at anyone who's not as pretty as me—"
"What about someone prettier than you?"
Yu Jin's face straightened: "So far, I think you are prettier than me."
Jiang Si gave him a blank look and then stopped.
Yu Jin secretly thought that this was a good thing, and left Jiang Si's place and went to the study, where he picked up a pen and started writing a letter to Jiang Zhan.
By the end, I had written a thick stack of paper.
Yu Jin stared at the letter paper with wet ink, touched his chin with stubble, and thought: It's strange, he has already married a wife, what else can he and that idiot Jiang Er say to each other.
June in southern Xinjiang is the time when vegetation is most lush.
Jiang Zhan led a team in a successful ambush, and returned to the barracks to pick up the wild deer they had killed on the way and roasted them on the grill.
Large chunks of venison were skewered on wooden branches, dripping with fat. The aroma made the soldiers salivate.
"General, it's ready." A soldier handed a string of slightly charred venison to Jiang Zhan.
"Thank you." Jiang Zhan sneezed three times in succession as soon as he took it.
Who misses me?
Jiang Zhan pondered it for a while and something occurred to him: Could it be that he is going to be an uncle again?
After biting off a piece of meat and eating it, Jiang Zhan asked the soldier beside him: "Are you married?"
The soldier was immediately excited: "General, are you going to propose marriage to me?"
Jiang Zhan sneered: "What are you dreaming about? I don't even have a wife."
"Oh." The soldier immediately became obedient.
This time, Jiang Zhan asked a soldier who looked quite old.
The soldier looked embarrassed and said, "General, I just look a little older and I haven't married yet."
Jiang Zhan twitched his lips, thinking to himself, do you think that's mature? You look too ugly.
Finally, a soldier couldn't bear to watch and volunteered, "General, I have been married for several years."
"Are there any children?"
"Yes, a son and a daughter." The soldier became excited when talking about his wife and children far away in his hometown.
"Then tell me, how long does it take for a woman to get pregnant and give birth?"
He remembered the day when his fourth sister announced the good news, but he was not sure how long it would take for the baby to be born. He found out more about it so that he could calculate whether the day had come.
The soldier was immediately puzzled. He counted on his fingers and said hesitantly, "It will take about nine months..."
"No, it's said that pregnancy lasts for ten months, at least ten months—"
A group of grown men gathered around the venison that was almost burnt, and soon they were arguing with each other.
Jiang Zhan felt overwhelmed after hearing this. He bit the venison hard, thinking that he might have another relative in the distant capital, and his eyes were filled with smiles.
When he returns to Beijing, maybe his fourth sister’s children will call him uncle.
The young master of Prince Yan's Mansion had his third-day baptism ceremony three days after his birth.
The third-day bath is a very auspicious ceremony and should not be taken lightly. However, there is no need to invite many relatives and friends; only close relatives can come to congratulate.
The women from the bride's side included the wives of the Duke of Dongping and the Marquis of Yining. As for the men's side, it was mainly the princesses and the married princesses.
Despite this, on the day of the third-day bathing ceremony, the Prince of Yan's Mansion was still bustling with activity.
In the afternoon, an incense table was set up in the outer hall of the delivery room, and the midwife began to preside over the ceremony.
As the midwife poured water from the basin onto Ah Huan, Ah Huan immediately started crying.
Everyone immediately started saying auspicious words, but they didn't agree with it in their hearts.
After all, she is just a girl. Even if she is the first child in Prince Yan's Mansion, there is nothing worth paying attention to.
Today's trip is just a formality.
When the midwife read out the words "The father-in-law and mother-in-law's surname is Li, and the adults and children are left to you. Give more boys and fewer girls...", a smile flashed across the eyes of Princess Qi.
The midwife's lyrics were fixed, and she had come here by listening to them.
Send more boys and fewer girls - she was very upset when she heard that.
How come there is no man who can do it?
Princess Qi couldn't help but look at Jiang Si.
Only three days after giving birth, the woman in front of him was not bloated at all, just a little fuller than before she was pregnant, and this fullness made her look even more beautiful.
Princess Qi felt very sad.
There are always some people in this world who are blessed with special talents that make people jealous.
Looking at Jiang Siping's smiling face, Princess Qi thought to herself: Princess Yan doesn't care at all about giving birth to a daughter?
Haha, you must be forcing a cheerful expression.
"Princess, someone has come from the palace." A maid ran in hurriedly and said.
Everyone in the hall fell silent for a moment and looked at each other in surprise.
Why are there people coming to the Xisanli Palace?
When a royal family has a new baby, it is not a big deal, but it is also not a small matter. It is a rule to report it to the Imperial Clan Bureau and have it recorded in the Imperial Book of Documents. As for whether there will be any rewards in the palace, it depends on which family has the baby. If it is a royal family member who is not valued, at most some supplements will be sent over according to custom.
It's rare to send someone specially to the third day bath ceremony. If you think about it carefully, there are only a few royal palaces that have specially sent people to the palace when a prince is born...
Everyone was guessing, and finally the eunuch came over.
When they saw that the eunuch who came was actually Pan Hai's apprentice, Eunuch Le, they felt that something was unusual.
Eunuch Le is Pan Hai's apprentice, and Pan Hai is the most capable person around the emperor. The eunuch who came to the palace was actually sent by the emperor, not the queen or the queen mother.
Everyone became more and more curious about the eunuch's purpose, until Xiao Lezi took out the bright yellow imperial edict, and their eyes suddenly narrowed.
How could there be an imperial edict?
Xiao Lezi glanced at everyone, then carefully unfolded the imperial edict and read: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: The Princess of Yan is intelligent, dignified and virtuous. I heard that the Princess of Yan has given birth to a legitimate daughter, who will surely resemble her mother... The legitimate daughter of the Prince of Yan is deeply loved by me, so I specially confer her the title of Princess Heshu. I do this."
There was no wind or sound in the hall, and the scene was strangely silent.
