Chapter 3
The two brothers finally couldn't help asking their father to lower their sister so that they could take a closer look at their lovely sister. Ning's father lowered his position a little, and Ning Yuji and Ning Yulei immediately stretched out their heads to stare at the younger sister in front of them. , Looking at the small ball, white and tender, and looking at the younger brother next to him, Ning Yulei asked: "Are they two younger sisters, they look so similar."

After hearing what the second son said, Hui Niang became happy, and it was Ning Yuji who immediately explained to her younger brother: "The younger siblings are twins, so it is natural to look alike." Hui Niang saw the two sons discussing their younger siblings , And said to my husband: "Have you chosen the names of the eldest sister and Erlang?"

When Ning Yuyao heard her mother's question, she immediately pricked up her ears to listen carefully to what her father had to say.Father Ning hugged the child again and said: "The child's name has been prepared a long time ago, Yao, Meiyu, the elder sister will be called Ning Yuyao, as for Erlang, I will take the name Yuyuan, Ning Yuyuan, what do you think, madam?" Ning Yuyao heard that her name hadn't changed and continued to sleep in peace. Hui Niang read it carefully twice and just got the name for her own children. She picked up the son next to her and called it several times. Father Ning followed suit and immediately confronted her. Ning Yuyao called Yaoyao twice, and in this way the names of the dragon and phoenix twins were settled.

Three days passed in a flash, and the day for Ning Yuyao and Ning Yuyuan's three-year marriage has arrived. Although these three days are short, Ning Yuyao has a general understanding of the current environment. Ning's father is Jingyuan's 18-year scholar , because his parents passed away one after another, and he kept his filial piety for six years, so his father, who was originally talented, did not take the exam. Listening to Ning's father and the others, the Ning family seems to be a dilapidated scholarly family. The decline is bound to come, the political situation is unstable, the children will not succeed, and the great-grandfather will withdraw from the court and hide in the market, the reputation of the Ning family will gradually decline.Father Ning's father was an only child, and only Father Ning and Uncle Ning were born. However, Father Ning was the only one who took the path of studying. Uncle Ning went out to be an apprentice when he was young because his family was poor and his ambition was not here. Through hard work, he now also opened a grocery store in the town. Uncle Ning married his wife, Jiashi Xiuying, and had three sons.So far, the Ning family's generation is considered prosperous.

And my mother's family was born as a hunter, and my grandfather was a good hunter. The marriage between Ning's father and Hui Niang also developed from this. After my grandmother's illness worsened, my grandfather suffered from lack of money, so he went into the mountains to look for ginseng. I searched the mountain for half a month, but fortunately, the emperor paid off, and finally found a plant of wild ginseng. However, when I was going down the mountain, I met a wild boar. It happened that my grandfather passed by and rescued my grandfather, and borrowed a few taels of silver. To the grandfather, because the grandfather was grateful, he inquired about the situation of the grandfather Wen's family, and learned that the grandfather Wen had a daughter who was virtuous and virtuous, but with a bright and generous personality, so he took the initiative to propose marriage for his eldest son, and married Qin and Jin.

Hui Niang was the second in her natal family. There was an older brother and a younger brother. Her uncle opened a shop selling the prey hunted by hunters. The younger uncle was the youngest son of his grandmother who was born at an advanced age. He was only 16 years old this year. Studying at my father's place, preparing for scientific examinations.

Ning Yuyao and Ning Yuyuan were carried out of the wing room by Aunt Wang, and everyone saw Hui Niang wearing a red padded jacket and twin twins wrapped in a red quilt. It's joy.

As soon as Aunt Wang carried out the twins, Father Ning surrounded them with the crowd.

Father Ning took Ning Yuyao, carefully adjusted the quilt, and adjusted the most comfortable place in his arms so that his daughter would be comfortable.After it was done, seeing Ning Yuyao's rare energy, she twisted her little head with difficulty, looking like she was joining in the fun.

Second Aunt Ning was unwilling to be left behind, and immediately took another child from Aunt Wang's hands, carefully looked at the child's appearance, then approached her uncle, looked at the eldest sister in his arms, and compared secretly, the two were similar There are seven or eight points, it is really cute, and it is two points, which makes people love it from the bottom of their hearts, especially since I only gave birth to three boys and have no daughters. Seeing the daughter of the uncle's family, I really itch.

After watching for a while, I found that Second Uncle Ning was standing on the other side of Ning's father, and slightly signaled Second Uncle Ning to take out the prepared things with his eyes.

Second Uncle Ning took out the jewelry he made for his nephew and niece from his arms. It was two golden locks like lucky bags and four small and cute silver bracelets. ", this is the family's best wishes to the children, and I hope they grow up safely.

Aunt Wang put the copper basin filled with locust leaves and mugwort leaves boiled into warm water prepared by the Ning family and all the etiquette items on the kang in the outer hall.After carefully checking the things several times, he looked at the time, and said to Father Ning: "Ning Xiucai, it's almost time, and your son and daughter's marriage can begin."

"Well, okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." After finishing speaking, he handed the child over.

First of all, set up an incense table on the front of the outer hall to enshrine thirteen gods, including Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Empress, Yunxiao Empress, Cuisheng Empress, Sending Son Empress, Beancurd Empress, and Vision Empress.There is millet in the incense burner, which is used as incense ash.A pair of small red wax made of suet is inserted on the wax skewer, and yellow coins, ingots, and thousands of pieces of money and food for worshiping the gods are pressed underneath.On the head of the bed in Huiniang's inner room, there are statues of "Kang Gong and Kang Mother", and three to five bowls of sweet-scented osmanthus or oil cakes are used as offerings.The grandma who took the baby offered incense and kowtowed, followed by three worships.

Afterwards, the family placed the copper basin containing the soup made from locust leaves and mugwort leaves and all the etiquette items on the kang.The grandma picked up the two children after the birth, and the "washing three" officially began.For some reason, Ning Yuyao felt faintly nervous. As a modern person, she lived in an ancient society without advanced medical development.We can see such a simple, true, and profound wish to pray for the newborn to wash away the filth, eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties, and pray for good fortune.How amazing it is.Is there any scientific reason for this ritual?Whether it exists or not, all people can do at this time is to sincerely pray that every new life can grow healthily.

After Aunt Wang put the child away, she motioned for everyone to add more pots.Everyone followed the rules and went up one by one to refill the children. Father Ning was the eldest elder in the family. He first added a small spoonful of water to the basin, and then put twelve gold ingots. This was "refilling the basin".Aunt Wang was hugging the child and shouting: "Long flowing water, smart and clever."

Ning Yuji took six longans and put them into the basin, and heard the admission grandma call: "Longan, longan, three yuan in a row." Ning Yuyao lamented the wisdom of the ancients, how did these all come together?Of course the surprise is still behind.

After everyone finished adding pots, Mrs. Wang stirred in the pot with a mallet, and said: "Stir once, stir again, stir again, brother leads younger brother to run, seventy, eighty, crooked, naughty Son, all the snorers are here."
