Chapter 608 Swaddling Clothes
Aunt Gu sighed and said, "Xingzhi is such a greenhorn, how would he know how to take care of a child? Jingzhe was wrapped in an ordinary swaddle, but the swaddle on Xiaolu looks like something a peasant family like ours could afford."
"Later, afraid of attracting attention, I took some cotton out of the quilt and found some scraps of cloth to piece it together and make a new one."
“I hid the baby deer from its original swaddling clothes.”
Hearing this, Lin Chang'er understood. The things used by ladies and young women of aristocratic families all had their own special regulations.
Some families with a rich heritage will even embroider their family crest on it. Even if they don't, as long as the baby is taken out, the other party will definitely be able to recognize it.
While Lin Chang'er and Aunt Gu were having a heart-to-heart talk, in Princess Zhenbei's room, Wu Qingfeng and Princess Zhenbei were also discussing the child.
Princess Zhenbei's bird's nest soup was ready. The nanny went to the kitchen to fetch it and saw Wu Qingfeng there. She said she wanted to make a new pair of shoes for the princess and asked the nanny next to Madam Huo for a shoe pattern.
Wu Qingfeng and the Princess Consort of Zhenbei both knew that she was just looking for an excuse to get away, so they let her do as she pleased.
Wu Qingfeng was raised by the Princess of Zhenbei for a period of time when he was young, so in his heart, the Princess of Zhenbei was not only his aunt, but also his mother.
When she returned from dinner, she looked sickly and listless.
He personally served her bird's nest soup, saying, "Chang'er is easy to get along with. Auntie, you can just live comfortably once you've settled in."
"If I have more energy, I'll help my mother manage the orphanage. Having something to do will make the days pass faster."
"Uncle has his own plans, Aunt doesn't need to worry."
Princess Zhenbei ate the bird's nest soup from her spoon and said slowly, "I know the Gu family is good, but your aunt's discomfort isn't because she's living under someone else's roof, you know that."
"Your uncle says he has his own plan, but when it comes to the supplies this time, doesn't he still need to ask you for advice?"
"It's all thanks to Chang'er's successful business and wide circle of friends, who are all willing to lend a helping hand. Chang'er's adoptive parents are also very talented. If it weren't for their large ships that could withstand pirates and sea bandits, the transportation would have been a huge problem."
"To be honest, it's because of you that your uncle and I benefited from your situation. Otherwise, not only your uncle, but the entire Zhenbei Army would have gone hungry this year. If things were more peaceful, it would be fine, but given the current situation, how could things be peaceful?"
Wu Qingfeng listened to her with a smile before scooping up another spoonful of bird's nest. "People have varying degrees of closeness and distance, and matters have varying degrees of importance and urgency. You should take care of your own health before worrying about other things."
"The matter of the child cannot be rushed. Besides, since you have made up your mind and the person is right in front of you, what is there to be anxious about?"
"The more this is the case, the more we should proceed slowly. Just think of the little deer and the little goldfish as two ordinary farm children you met here."
"Couldn't we at least get to know them a little better first?"
Princess Zhenbei leaned back on the large bolster, her voice low, "Who says it isn't? But I, but I..."
He shook his head. "When I saw the child, I was completely mesmerized. If your mother and Chang'er hadn't been there, I would have rushed over and hugged the child."
Clutching her chest, she said, "I carried them for ten months and gave birth to them, but they were stolen by treacherous villains as soon as they were born."
"Fortunately, Heaven did not forsake the Pei family. We encountered righteous men who saved my child from dire straits..."
