"Mom, what's the matter?" Xiao Yueyue showed up. The elders of the family and the four Rourou girls were all gathered together, waiting for him alone. WWw,QUAbEn-XIAoShUo,CoM
Seeing Xiao Yueye coming in, she waved her hands inwardly and seemed very happy. Holding her in his arms, Liu San smiled and handed her over to Xiao Yueye, and gave her father a kiss without any courtesy. Xiao Yueye was so happy that she almost flew into the sky.
"Ye'er, the day after tomorrow is our family's birthday, what are you going to do?" The head of the family is Xiao Yueye. Although he rarely takes care of things, the family will let him make decisions on any important matters.
Zaixin is now the center of the family, and her first birthday is naturally a big deal. Regarding how to handle it, a group of elders had their own ideas, but in the end they decided to let Xiao Yueye make the decision.
Xiao Yueye held her daughter's little hand and played with it happily: "Mom, what do you think?"
Mrs. Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "Me, Rourou's mother, Feng'er's grandpa, they don't care, but Feng'er and his father want to take care of things, but in the end, you have to make the decision."
Xiao Yueye thought for a while, then picked up her precious daughter and said, "I'm sorry, how do you think dad should celebrate your first birthday?"
I didn't know what Xiao Yueye was talking about in my heart, but when I saw my father smiling all over his face and hugging me up and down, I suddenly felt so happy that I burst into giggles.
"My family doesn't know so many great people, so what's the use of them coming, right? Well, anyway, dad has already invited so many people when the full moon comes. This time, we'll just invite our own people." Yue Ye held her daughter in her arms and kissed her hard again.
"That's it, mother. Since I'm one year old, there's no need to involve those political messes. This time, we'll do it ourselves. We'll just invite some people in the capital who have good relations with us."
Mrs. Xiao nodded and said to Butler Kong who was standing next to her: "So be it, Butler Kong, you and Aunt Ye just have a hard time and make arrangements."
Two days passed by in a flash, and soon it was Zai Xin’s first birthday. On this day, the entire Xiao family was naturally hung with red lanterns, and the home was decorated with joy and grandeur.
As Xiao Yueye said, no outsiders were invited this time. They were all relatives and friends living at home, including Song Hu's family of three, Murong Xiu, Ouyang Xiaohua, etc. This time, even the three old guys from Heaven, Earth, and People changed their faces a little and came to celebrate. However, Xiao Yueye suspected that their biggest motive was to try the art of picking chrysanthemums.
Before eating, everyone's attention was focused on a high platform in the center of the venue. At this moment, there was a thick layer of flannel on the table, so nothing could be seen clearly. But everyone understands that this is the week-catching ceremony that is about to begin.
This high platform was temporarily built. But the one at the top is an "amusement park" that Yang Zhigang had built with great care. This small-scale fence is extremely elastic, so even if a child falls, there will be no harm. So this time, Xiao Yueye placed it on it as a place to catch Zhou.
According to ancient rituals, the ritual of catching the week is before eating longevity noodles. Ancient people were quite superstitious and believed that if a child catches something, it will develop in this direction in the future. Xiao Yueye naturally sneered at this argument. The future development direction of a child depends on the education of his parents. What does it have to do with grasping the week? Children generally like those things with bright colors and weird and weird things, so it is said that few children choose the Four Books and Five Classics when they are studying.
Su Jing once read in a book that a rich man wanted his children to read the Four Books and Five Classics, so everything else was covered with dust. Only the books were painted in beautiful colors and were still there. Sprinkle the pastry powder that the child likes to eat on top, which made my child choose the book.
Mrs. Xiao had put in a lot of effort to capture Zhou this time. In order to avoid negligence, she asked Confucius to find many previous books on Zhuzhou and write down all the necessary things and requirements in them.
"Meng Liang Lu·Yu Zi" records: "The family arranged a brocade banquet in the middle hall, burning incense and candles, gold and silver seven treasures, toys, scripture exegesis scrolls in the study, scales, rulers, knives and scissors, shengdouzi, colorful satin flowers, and official coins. Mo, the girl was sewing, using things, and playing with things, but she placed Zhou's son in the middle seat to watch what he picked up first, and he thought it would be a good prophecy. "
When Mrs. Xiao put this book in front of Xiao Yueye, his head was pounding.
The time was almost up, Xiao Yueye walked to the high platform with her precious daughter who was looking curiously in her arms. Several servants who had been standing around slowly pulled away the layer of velvet, revealing what was inside.
The whole audience let out an "ah" sound, and even Xiao Yueye couldn't help but smile bitterly. There were too many things in this.
Xiao Qiu was lying comfortably on the recliner, with a beautiful little maid waiting beside him. At this time, he straightened up, stared at the things above in stunned silence, and swallowed hard.
"Hey, Xiaosi, what's on top of this? So many?"
Xiao Si smiled and recited: "Seals, scriptures of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, account books, decorations, flowers, rouge, food, toys, and shovels, Spoons, scissors, rulers, embroidery thread, patterns, etc. I roughly remember these, and some bits and pieces, but there are a lot of them.”
"Oh my God, I'm afraid my hands will be numb when I want to choose, right?"
Xiao Si did not answer, but said in his heart: "If you knew that each item here is a treasure worth five taels of silver, I don't know what you would think."
Xiao Yueye shook her head, she really admired her mother. There is really no shortage of anything, and there are more than what is recorded in "Menglianglu·Education of Children". He saw his daughter's eyes were wide open and her mouth was watering. Then he smiled, put his heart in the center of the field, and then stood aside.
Facing the dazzling array of things, I smacked my lips in my heart and climbed up curiously. She was also weird. She didn't catch any of them, but she touched them curiously for a long time, then put them aside and moved on to the next one. She didn't know that what she did made those who believed that their children would do whatever they chose in the future feel troubled.
Yansha grabbed Xiao Yueye's arm tightly, as if she was making a choice. Xiao Yueye smiled bitterly and patted her back. But in his own heart, he was actually very nervous.
"Sister, what do you choose? Does it make any difference?" Yin Caiju has lived in the mountains since she was a child and knows nothing about these. Seeing how nervous everyone looked, I couldn't help but become curious.
Murong Yufeng touched her head and explained with a smile: "Generally speaking, what you choose in your heart will mean what kind of person she will be in the future. For example, if she catches pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she will It shows that she will be diligent and studious in the future, and she will be a good money-maker if she catches the abacus. But look at our little baby, everything is good. Touching it for a while is really appetizing.”
"Oh, that's it. Then when I was a kid, didn't I catch those spoons? But my adoptive father didn't catch me when I was a kid?" Yin Caiju tilted her head and said doubtfully.
Murong Yufeng felt happy when she saw her like this.
Time passed slowly like this for two quarters of an hour, and now I dared to treat this as a playground. I touched each one for a long time, but then threw it away, just not holding on to it.
"I'm afraid there will be no end to this little girl." Xiao Yueye laughed and shook her head.
"Yes, if this continues, we might as well just have dinner." Yansha also pouted and said with a smile.
"Brother Imperial, that, that..." Murong Hui looked at the book that he was playing with in his heart, and was surprised, looking at Murong Liuyun who came next to him in casual clothes.
Murong Liuyun looked at his brother's surprised look and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
"No way, Brother Huang, is that really the only copy of Wang Xizhi in your hand?" Murong Hui didn't look as arrogant as usual at this moment, and his mouth grew louder.
"You read that right, it's my book." Murong Liuyun said very calmly, but the heartache in his eyes still made Murong Hui feel it.
"I remember that you begged my father for a long time for this unique copy."
Murong Liuyun sighed and looked at Mrs. Xiao who was very happy not far away: "There is no way, Ru'er came to ask for it from me, what can I do?"
Murong Hui slapped his forehead: "I, the imperial sister-in-law, are not ordinary powerful. She is the only one who dares to use this kind of orphan book as a tool to catch Zhou. Feng'er and Xiuer used to use ordinary tools. ?”
Murong Liuyun's heart ached again, not because he was stingy, but because the original copy was so hard-earned.
"My dear, now it seems that everything else is not ordinary, right? My wife, the emperor, tsk tsk. Brother, I think you, the only one, will not come back, right?" For some reason, Murong Liu Mr. Yun felt that there was a smile in Murong Hui's tone.
"Yes, who has the ability to take something from your imperial sister-in-law?" Murong Liuyun rolled his eyes angrily.
Murong Hui chuckled, pointed to the stage and said, "That's not what I meant. You can see for yourself."
Only then did Murong Liuyun notice that it didn't matter, and he almost cried.
On the stage, Zai Xin kept playing with the book in her hand. Just when everyone thought she was going to take the book, she made an astonishing move.
I saw her chubby little hands, just pulling up and down, and then if it wasn't enough, she added her mouth.
For a moment, confetti was flying on the stage.
Murong Liuyun's extremely rare and unique copy, just like that, pieces are flying.
Xiao Yueye laughed from below: "Our baby is so awesome that he even knows how to eat books."
Little did he know that while he was smiling at the same time, Murong Liuyun was feeling heartache! Madam Xiao quickly walked to Murong Liuyun and touched his hand calmly. The pain in Murong Liuyun's heart suddenly disappeared by seven points.
Murong Hui rolled his eyes fiercely on the side, but he could only help cover it up to prevent others from discovering their ambiguity. (Quanben Novel Website www.QUAbEn-XIAoShUo.com)
