Chapter 199 Gifts
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin nodded and said, "Let's go. I'm really curious about whether my sister-in-law gave birth to a boy or a girl?" It can't be a boy again, right?
She knew that all the adults in the Qiao family were desperate to have a girl, and Qiao's father and mother were even more eager, but every time they gave birth, it was a boy, which made the two old people very disappointed.
Hearing this, Liu's smile became even bigger.
"My eldest sister-in-law actually gave birth to a fat girl for the Qiao family! Mother was so happy that she rewarded her with three times the monthly salary of the servants in the mansion on the spot. She has been holding her tightly and will not let go. It was only when you and You'er came that mother was willing to come out for a while. When father-in-law gets off duty and returns home, I don't know how happy she will be!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Rongjin opened his eyes wide with joy, "She's really a fat girl?!"
Liu nodded vigorously. It was no wonder that her younger sister was surprised. It seemed that the Qiao family had more boys than girls. Some of them even had no girls in that generation. It was not until her younger sister's generation that she was born. She didn't expect that there would be a girl in this generation as well. It was really surprising.
Moreover, it is an inheritance in the Qiao family that any girl born will be stunningly beautiful, combining the good looks of all the members of the Qiao family and being very beautiful.
"Come on, sister-in-law, let's go and take a look!" Qiao Rongjin was really curious about what a newborn baby looked like. She heard that it was wrinkled, so she wanted to see how wrinkled it was.
Soon, the two came to the eldest sister-in-law's room. The eldest sister-in-law had just given birth to a child and was very weak, so she was still lying in bed resting. The child was held by the third sister-in-law, and there were several maids and old women serving her. There were also three little kids standing beside them, looking after their younger sister.
The men in the family are all on duty at the moment, and none of them are present.
Seeing Qiao Rongjin coming, the third sister-in-law Murong stood up and smiled, "Little sister, come and see the big fat girl born by the eldest sister-in-law!"
"Auntie!" the three little kids called out happily.
If it were usual, they would have gone out to greet them long ago. Today they had their younger sister with them, so for a moment they were attracted by the younger sister here. Now that they had seen the younger sister, they didn't want to see her so much, mainly because the younger sister didn't look that good, and they were a little disappointed.
"Hey!" Qiao Rongjin answered the three kids with a smile, but his eyes were eager to look at the baby in his third sister-in-law's arms.
At this time, Xiao Ba grabbed Qiao Rongjin's skirt and said, "Aunt, my sister looks like a monkey, so ugly!"
"Yes! My sister is so ugly!"
"Not fair and tender at all, humph, grandma and mother are both liars!"
"Snapped!"
Liu slapped each of them lightly, and the three little kids were stunned.
"Mom, why did you hit me?"
"Yes, Second Aunt, hitting people is wrong!"
Murong looked at her son speechlessly. She didn't feel sorry for the boy being beaten at all. She had told him many times that he would be fine in two days, but he just wouldn't listen. He deserved it!
"Pfft!"
Qiao Rongjin really couldn't help laughing. Children are really fun.
"Sister, you will grow up to be pretty in a few days. You looked like this when you were born." Qiao Rongjin said.
Qiao Rongjin thought, although it does look like a monkey.
"how is this possible?"
"really?"
"As ugly as Sister Xiao!"
"Pa!" The little kid who said he was ugly was taught a lesson with love again.
"You weren't prettier than your sister at first." Liu complained mercilessly.
Seeing this, Murong also started chatting with Qiao Rongjin.
"Little sister, do you want a hug?"
"Me? No need for that. I just came in, and I'm cold all over. It would be bad if the baby gets frozen." It was mainly because she had never held such a small child before and didn't know how to hold him. He was so small, she didn't know how to use any strength, so she just gave up.
Hearing this, Murong also felt that it made sense and simply stopped talking.
Newborn babies are the most delicate and need to be taken care of in everything, let alone the first baby girl of the Qiao family, who is even more delicate.
"Where is my sister-in-law? Is she asleep now?" Qiao Rongjin asked as he sat on a chair and leaned forward to look at the baby who was sleeping with his eyes closed.
"He's been resting for a while, he should be awake by now, why don't you go check on him?"
"Row."
When Qiao Rongjin entered the room, he saw his sister-in-law being helped by a maid to sit up. Seeing Qiao Rongjin coming, Jiang smiled and said, "Little sister is here, come and sit down."
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. However, our Qiao family finally has a baby girl. It's rare for me to see mother and the people in the family so happy!"
Hearing this, Jiang couldn't hide his joy.
She gave birth to three sons and finally had a daughter. It must have been God who heard her prayers and fulfilled her wish. She had always regretted not having a caring little boy, and now her wish had come true, so she was smiling.
She felt the joy of having both a son and a daughter.
When Jiang heard this, she became even happier and started talking to Qiao Rongjin about her daughter with great interest.
Until the old lady brought the fat girl who had just woken up to drink milk.
Liu and Murong also followed in.
After Qi You looked at the wrinkled little sister curiously for a while, he was taken out to play by Xiao Ba and the other two.
Seeing that everyone was there, Qiao Rongjin simply handed over the gift he had prepared for the child.
"Sister-in-law, this is a gift I prepared for my niece."
It is a very heavy gold and silver lock and a pair of jade ruyi awarded by His Majesty.
The jade ruyi alone was a very valuable gift, and it was obviously a gift from the palace. Jiang was a little undecided and had to look at Qiao's mother.
Seeing this, Qiao's mother nodded and said, "If your little sister gives it to you, just take it."
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Murong had no objections. After all, when their younger sister returned to the Qiao Mansion, the things she gave to the children were no worse than this.
"Sister-in-law, I have prepared some supplements for you, as well as some small things for my niece. Qinglian, you and Hongdou go get them."
One month before his sister-in-law was about to give birth, Qiao Rongjin had people prepare these things.
"Yes, master."
So, only Aunt Wu was left by Qiao Rongjin's side.
This was the first time that Aunt Wu came to the Qiao Mansion, but so far, she had a very good impression of it. The Qiao Mansion was a truly prestigious family, which could be seen just by looking at the things they used in daily life. Also, the Qiao Mansion really valued their mistress, the aunt, and the relationship between them was harmonious, without the intrigue that was common among many families in the mansions.
No wonder the master has such a temperament.
"Thank you for the expense, little sister." Jiang was flattered to see that Qiao Rongjin was so thoughtful that he even prepared his own share.
Just then, Qinglian, Hongdou, and several maids and servants from the Qiao Mansion came in carrying things.
Qiao Rongjin: "These are toys for my little niece, and there are clothes, hats, shoes and so on. These are for my sister-in-law to nourish her body."
Originally, she wanted to have someone make a baby carriage, but in ancient times there were no materials and craftsmanship such as rubber tires and metal frames to make baby carriages. Even if there were, she couldn't make it herself, which would expose her identity, especially with a fellow villager like Chen from the same place, so she gave up the idea.
Jiang was deeply moved when she saw the large number of precious medicinal herbs for nourishing the body.
Qiao Rongjin gave the gift prepared by Prince Rui and the Princess to her sister-in-law.
"This is a gift from the prince and princess to my sister-in-law."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Qiao Rongjin in surprise.
