Chapter 679: Wash Three
Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi naturally couldn't have come purely for Daohe, in fact, Daohe was just an excuse, and the two of them had something to say to him.
"In addition to congratulations, I'm here to resign." Yang Rong said.
"Resignation?" Wang Xian's heart moved: "The bachelor is going back to Beijing?" ”
"Yes," Yang Rong nodded, "I received an order the day before yesterday, and the emperor summoned me to return north." Actually, I've always wanted to meet you, but our identity ...... It's all a little sensitive......"
"yes." Wang Xian nodded, one of the two was the emperor's secretary, and the other was the emperor's No. 2 spy leader, and under the watchful eye of the emperor's number one spy, they really couldn't meet in private.
"I was going to ask Brother Shiqi to speak for me, but fortunately, Zhongde gave birth to Lin'er, and we can come to congratulate me justifiably." Yang Rong looked at Yang Shiqi and smiled: "It's quite right, right?" ”
"Of course." Yang Shiqi nodded and smiled: "On the inheritance, you and Wei Wenyuan are the same family, and now that he is released to the prefect, of course we have to be a good elder for him." ”
Wang Xian is not Wuxia Amun, so naturally he will not be honored by Yang Shiqila's closeness, but it is still okay to say a few words with a happy face.
After a few nonsense words, Yang Rong got to the point and said: "Zhongde, in addition to congratulating me this time, I am here to explain what happened last time. What he was referring to was naturally the matter of the prince releasing Wang Xian's pigeons.
It's good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned Wang Xian, his heart burst into flames, this matter surnamed Yang is really not authentic, he was begging for help in vain, and that Laoshizi 'Misfortune to the East' was brought up by Yang Rong! As a result, when the matter came, he retreated again, so that he couldn't explain to his brothers, and he made himself like eating a fly.
"At that time, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to accept it if he wanted to see it, if I insisted on persuading, I believe the prince would agree." The two sides have only been in contact a few times, and Wang Xian does not have a deep understanding of Yang Rong's wisdom. But he is the object of Er Yang's long-term attention, Yang Rong knows him very well, so he can naturally be targeted: "It's just that I considered it at the time, and the prince's worries are also very reasonable, to deal with a peerless murderer like Ji Gang, it really needs to be ripe, and the time and place are all indispensable." ”
Seeing Wang Xian's listening look, Yang Rong continued to say frankly: "Any strategy is not immutable, but improvised. At the beginning, we set the time, and we planned for the worst, once the emperor was angry and wanted to strictly investigate the case, we had to drag Ji Gang into the water. But Zhongde's strategy worked surprisingly well, and the emperor really cherished the prince and let this matter go. This makes it unnecessary for us to break the net as soon as we come up......"
"yes." Yang Shiqi also helped: "Ji Gang and King Han are actually a snake with two heads, even if they want to fight, they have to fight both ways, only one end, and the other end will inevitably jump up and bite." So we still need to continue to plan and wait for the opportunity to double kill. Zhongde, you say, isn't that the truth? ”
"Hmm......" The explanation of the two scholars was reasonable, at least it made the pimple in Wang Xian's heart go away a lot, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two, I won't have any love, after all, there is nothing to lose, then let's continue to wait." ”
"Zhongde is really reasonable," Yang Shiqi smiled at Yang Rong, "I'll just say that your worries are unnecessary, right?" ”
"Hehe, yes." Yang Rong said with a smile: "But there are some things that are better said, so that we can cooperate sincerely, and its benefits will be golden." ”
"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Zhongde," Yang Shiqi said, "What do you think King Han and Ji Gang will do next?" ”
"It's definitely going to fight back." Wang Xian sighed and said: "Ji Gang is a fierce beast, if you let go of the opportunity to kill him, he will definitely not coexist peacefully with you, but the worst thing about defense is that you don't know where he will make a move, so you can only passively wait for him to make a move......
"Yes." Yang Rong was ashamed and said: "Speaking of which, I have an unshirkable responsibility for today's passive situation. If Zhongde takes any action next, I will fully cooperate. ”
Wang Xian only shook his head, obviously the big move that he had been holding back for a long time had not been released, and he couldn't brew any new tricks for a while.
"That's it......" Yang Shiqi said softly: "Then let's wait and see what happens, after all, time is on our side, and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for us. ”
"Will the emperor return to Beijing this year?" Wang Xian asked.
Yang Rong thought about it for a while, and finally slowly shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, the emperor doesn't like the capital very much, and there is no reason why he has to come back, I'm afraid he won't return to the court." ”
"In fact, the emperor decided to return to Beijing, but it was the most dangerous time for us." Yang Shiqi said in a deep voice: "Avoid the dog jumping off the wall in a hurry." ”
Wang Xianxin said You also know that if I had killed a dog at the beginning, it would have been easier than having to face two mad dogs at that time, right?
Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi came here to relieve their suspicions with Wang Xianbing, seeing that the goal was achieved, they naturally would not stay longer, and the two sides said some words of cooperation and communication, and Er Yang got up and said goodbye.
Wang Xian sent the two scholars out, the smile on his face disappeared, and Wu Wei behind him asked softly, "Which one are these two singing?" ”
"Fool me." Wang Xian smiled coldly and said: "Don't listen to Yang Rong's words, but that's not the reason why he messed up this matter, he has only one real reason, that is, he doesn't want me to eat Jinyiwei and become another Ji Gang." ”
"The enemy is still making small calculations, this group of literati is really damned." Wu Wei said hatefully.
"Wenwu Shutu, this is no way." Wang Xian said helplessly: "In the future, there will really be a fight." Said with a self-deprecating smile: "It seems that my status as a lifter is also in vain, and there are no civil officials who treat me as a fellow kind anymore." ”
"Fight whoever is afraid of whom, look at their cowardice in front of King Han and Ji Gang, you know that these guys are nothing to be afraid of." Wu Wei said disdainfully.
"Who knows?" Wang Xian shook his head, shook off those unhappiness and said: "In the future, let's be happy and happy in the next few days," said Yang Tianchang and smiled: "Lao Tzu has both children and daughters, this is great news!" ”
"Yes, congratulations, sir." Wu Wei also smiled......
In the next few days, Wang Xian's family was like a festival, as Mrs. Wang said, the birth of this eldest grandson made the happy life of the Wang family completely complete, so it is natural to celebrate it. Therefore, Wang You's baptism ceremony was very grand.
The so-called washing of the three is the three-day washing, which is an auspicious gift that is very valued by the emperor's house and the people of Li. The Wang family is now rich and noble, and he is the eldest grandson, so he naturally has to do a lot of things. One day in advance, the people prepared nearly 100 kinds of toiletries...... On the morning of the third day, the people boiled the water of the locust strip and the puai water, and dyed red guiyuan, lychee, raw peanuts and chestnuts with rouge for later use.
Near the morning, relatives and friends came to congratulate them, and the Wang family had already prepared a good banquet, which was naturally much more relaxed than the day of birth, and the quality of the banquet was much better. However, no matter how rich the wine and food are, the staple food is the same as the folk, which must be noodles, commonly known as 'washing three noodles'. It's just that a bowl of sea cucumber noodles and shark fin noodles is more expensive than a table of ordinary people......
After the luncheon, the guests gathered in the East Courtyard where Wang You was born to watch the ceremony. The outer hall of the delivery room has set up an incense case, enshrined Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Niangniang, Yunxiao Niangniang, Giving Birth Niangniang, Sending Son Niangniang, Bean Rash Niangniang, Eye Niangniang and other thirteen statues, the incense burner contains millet for incense, a pair of mutton fat small red candles are inserted on the wax skewers, and the whole god-worshipping money and grain such as yellow money, ingots, and thousands of zhang are pressed below. On the bed in the delivery room, there are also kang men and mothers, and the same offerings are also placed.
First, Aunt Wang gave incense to the gods and kowtowed, and the midwife who was in charge of delivering the baby also bowed three times. Then, the Hou family brought the Huaitiao Puai water to the kang with a copper basin, and the people placed a qiē ritual supplies, and Aunt Wang sat on the side of the kang with a smile in her arms, and the washing ceremony officially began.
At this time, the guests add a spoonful of water to the copper basin one by one, and then put a little longan, lychee, red dates, peanuts and other happy fruits, which is called 'adding a pot'. In addition to the happy fruit, there are copper coins or gold and silver in the pot, the guests of the Wang family are naturally generous, no matter how bad it is, it is also a gold bill, and most of the pots are all kinds of valuable yellow and white jewelry, which one is worth a thousand taels of silver. The crown princess even took out a handful of jade ruyi carved from Western rubies, so that the guests could see the importance that the prince's family attached to Wang Xian. And Xu Miaojin's congratulatory gift made the guests even more dumbfounded, it was a pearl the size of a child's fist, absolutely valuable.
When adding a pot, you should also say some auspicious greetings, such as adding clear water, you should say 'long flowing water, smart and clever', adding jujube longan chestnuts and the like, naturally it is said that 'early lizi'. Or 'longan longan, even the middle three yuan' and so on. As for putting gold jewelry and the like, of course, it is 'full of gold and jade'.
After adding the pot, Hou sprinkled a handful of flowers into the pot and said: "Gardenia, jasmine, peach, apricot, rose, tuberose, flower scarring pea sparse Lala's ......" This is to wish the child not to have less smallpox, and to grow up healthily without disasters and diseases. Then the old lady took the child to the basin, bathed the baby, and recited the greetings while washing, saying, 'Wash your hair first, and be a prince; After washing the waist, one generation is taller than the other; Wash the eggs, as the county; Wash the ditch and do the ...... of Zhizhou'
After washing, there is also a set of rituals, in which the women who are all blessed among the guests take turns to flow their hands, first one of them lights it with a mugwort leaf ball, uses ginger slices as a support, and puts it on the baby's head, symbolically moxibustion and moxibustion, saying 'no disease and no disaster'.
Then another combed the baby's hair and dressed it, and also said: 'Three combs, two bunches, grow up and wear a black gauze hat; Draw eyebrows on the left, sideburns on the right, and find a daughter-in-law to race the sable cicada; Brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, and talk to people so as not to be embarrassed. ’
He also invited the most noble princess among the guests to roll eggs on the baby's face, saying that 'the egg is rolling on the face, the face is like egg skin, and the willow is red like white, and it is really a lover.' After washing, the child was tied, and a lady was asked to slap a green onion three times, saying, 'One dozen are smart, and two are smart.' Then he asked someone to throw the green onion on the roof, which means that the child will be extremely smart in the future.
It is also necessary to take a scale and a lock and make three strokes on the top of the child's head, implying that the baby's life is precious and locking him firmly. Finally, I put a small mirror on the baby's buttocks and said, 'Use the treasure mirror to shine on the belly, and poop and black during the day'......
At this point, the three washing ceremonies came to an end, and finally Aunt Wang incinerated the shrines of Kang Gong and Kang Mother, and said: 'Kang Gong Kang's mother's surname is Li, and the adults and children will be handed over to you; Send more men, less women...... Then, put a bag of ash in red paper and press it under the kang mat, and ask the two immortals to stay on the kang forever to bless the safety of adults and children......
Men can't participate in this ceremony, so Wang Xian waited outside, and after the ceremony started for a while, he saw Xu Miaojin coming out of it......
