The third bath is presided over by the midwife. First, a basin is prepared and filled with warm water.

Ye Qing was worried that his nephew might get cold, so he tested the water temperature. When he felt the temperature was right, he brought the water into the house.

Ye Erlang came out holding Sanbao. The three-day ritual here is very simple.

First, the midwife offered sacrifices to the Goddess of Childbirth, the Goddess of Childbirth, the Goddess of Cloud Sky, the Goddess of Qiongxiao and other gods.

Everyone in the family was very pious and knelt down, hoping for the child to be healthy.

After these procedures are completed, guests can add basins for the children.

Ye Erlang looked at the midwife holding the baby with some distress. Chen, as the grandmother, was the first to add fuel to the basin and she put a handful of copper coins in it.

The midwife was very happy and all the money in the basin was for her.

Those who are closer to you put money, while those who have an average relationship put red dates or longans.

The midwife was also very good at talking. When she saw someone put red dates and lotus seeds in the baby's womb, she would shout, "May you have many sons and daughters."

Some neighbors who were on good terms would add some clean water, and the midwife would smile and say, "Long-flowing water means smartness."

Ye Qing found it interesting and put a silver peanut in it. Lin Wenxuan, who was also an elder, put some small change in it.

The midwife saw how generous Lin Wenxuan was and praised him repeatedly.

The Ye family was very happy as this was a way to give them face.

Lin Wenxuan glanced at Ye Qing secretly, and the smile on Ye Qing's face was as beautiful as a flower.

Lin Wenxuan felt very happy and looked at Sanbao with envy. He still had to wait a long time before he could get married.

But he was not in a hurry, Ye Qing was worth his wait.

After everyone had filled the basin, the midwife quickly took off Sanbao's clothes, dipped some water in the basin, and washed Sanbao's body.

Sanbao was suddenly touched by the warm water and started crying loudly with fear.

Everyone listened to Sanbao's loud cry and started laughing.

During the third bath, the louder the baby cries, the healthier he is.

Zheng Qin was in the room listening to her son crying so hard, and she felt anxious. She was still in confinement after giving birth and couldn't go out.

Soon Ye Erlang came back with the child. Sanbao was very well behaved. Zheng Qin held him and coaxed him into falling asleep again.

After the child was coaxed to sleep, Chen came into the room again to talk to Zheng Qin.

Ye Qing brought them some food and went out again, leaving the mother and daughter some space to talk.

Chen was also worried about her daughter, "Are your family members treating you well?"

Zheng Qin smiled tenderly at her son, and only turned around to talk to Chen after she saw him fall asleep.

"Don't worry, mom and dad. My family has been very good to me. From the time I gave birth to the child until now, my family has been taking care of the child."

Looking at the Ye family's behavior, Chen knew that what her daughter said was true.

"Qin'er, after you're out of confinement, you should be more respectful to your elders. If your elders treat you well, you should also be filial to them." Chen was worried that her daughter would become more aggressive after giving birth to a son at a young age.

Zheng Qin has always been very filial to her elders. Even though she was pregnant and at home for so long, she and her family members never had any arguments and they always got along well.

Chen talked for a while, let her daughter lie down and rest, and she followed Ye Qing to eat.

The Ye family set up several tables and invited all the people with whom they had a good relationship.

When the relatives left, Zhou gave them red eggs, boiled eggs dyed red on the outside.

Take the egg home and share it with your neighbors so that we can all be happy for the baby.

After all the relatives and friends left, the house was in a mess.

Lin Wenxuan didn't leave, he helped clean up the yard.

Wei Xin and Zhou were washing dishes, and Ye Qing was washing the yard with clean water.

Lin Wenxuan took the broom from Ye Qing's hand and stopped her from coming over because the ground was covered with oil.

Ye Qing helped pour water while Lin Wenxuan carefully scrubbed every floor.

Zhou looked satisfied, and Lin Wenxuan knew that he felt sorry for his daughter.

The two of them cooperated well during the consultation and no one from the family disturbed them.

Ye Qing didn't notice that his family was watching them, as they were both focused on washing the floor. Ye Qing didn't like the greasy feeling, so when it rained, they would scrub the yard.

There has been no rain in the past two days. If we delay for another two days, the ground will get even dirtier. It would be better to get some water and scrub it now.

After everything was packed up, it was getting late, so Lin Wenxuan said goodbye to the Ye family and went home first.

Ye Qing took a two-day break and went to the dock to help Ye Xin with work. Lin Wenxuan also came to help contact bookstores to sell books.

The bookstore has just shipped the books over and they are now piled up in the warehouse.

When Ye Qing arrived, Ye Xin was using an abacus.

"Brother Ye Xing, what are you calculating?"

Ye Xin looked up at the person who came and said, "Qingya is here. I am counting how much money is left on the bill."

Ye Qing looked at Ye Xin and frowned, "What's wrong? There's no money in the account."

The bookstore has never been profitable and is subsidized by funds from other workshops.

Once the experience booklet was released, the bookstore obtained the general agency rights and began to turn around its profits and losses.

Now that the tutorial books are being printed, they have to advance money to the bookstore, and the money in the account is gone again.

Ye Qing comforted him, "These are all initial investments, and we will be able to earn them back soon."

Ye Xin didn't say anything. He had no confidence in the new book.

The experience book has been selling well during this period, and there are still many caravans coming to buy the book.

Lin Wenxuan stood by and said nothing. The bookstore belonged to Ye Qing, so he had little say.

Ye Qing didn't have this worry. She was worried that one thousand copies were a little too few and not enough to sell.

Ye Qing held a literary gathering in Wu'an City in the name of Ye Chenjing and others.

She and Ye Xi had agreed to hold the meeting in Queran Building.

Queranlou was not open to the public that day, so the restaurant was decorated the night before. All the extra tables were removed and pens, ink, paper and inkstone were placed on them.

When they heard that they were holding a literary gathering, all the famous scholars in the city came. They also wanted to ask for advice and strive to pass the imperial examination to become a scholar next year.

Liu Rui was also invited, and he helped Ye Chenjing and others entertain the guests.

There are not many scholars in Wu'an City, but Ye Chenjing and his companions are still very influential.

The restaurant was full of people that day, and some of them were talented and knowledgeable. Whenever someone came to ask for advice, they could always give an answer.

The scholars in Wu'an City admired them more and more when they heard that they had published another book about the imperial examination.

Before the bookstores in the city opened, people were already queuing outside to buy books.

Shopkeeper He, who opened the door, was startled. He looked back at the bookstore and thought he had opened the wrong door.

Seeing Shopkeeper He open the door, a scholar who was familiar with Shopkeeper He asked, "Shopkeeper He, do you have any books written by the scholars?"

Shopkeeper He didn't react for a moment. He looked back at the Book of Experience and gave a positive answer.

After these students entered the house, they looked around twice but did not find the tutorial book.

Luo Ping, who had just asked at the door, was anxious, "Boss, where is the new book? Take it out and let us have a look."

Shopkeeper He looked at the book placed at the door and felt a little confused as so many people hadn't seen it.

Luo Ping followed Shopkeeper He's gaze and felt a little amused.

"Manager He, we want the book of experience, the new book written by the scholar. Do you have it?"
