The days passed in an orderly manner, and May entered in a blink of an eye. After the bustling Dragon Boat Festival, Yilang was one month old. Lin Jinrong thought that Yilang's first birthday would not be held next year, and did not want to wrong the child, so he planned to warm up.
It was two months after the lively bathing party. After moving back to the main house that day, Lin Jinrong took a beautiful bath. She had to discuss with Lu Yan: "I want to make the bathing party more lively. What do you think?"
How about it?"
Lu Yan thought about it again and again, and said: "This is our first child, and I also want to make it lively, but this is Beijing, it's not as good as at home, so it's better to play it safe. Just follow the crowd and don't hire anyone."
Eye." His official position is too small and he has no foundation. Lin Shiquan is too good at picking goods, and Yao Zhuo is too good at doing business. Lin Jinrong's shop has been doing better and better in the past few months and has become very eye-catching. It is absolutely necessary to keep a low profile.
Although he understood that Lu Yan's arrangement was correct and prudent, Lin Jinrong still felt very regretful in his heart, so he remained silent and just looked down at Yilang beside him, and gently touched his face with his hand. Yilang had lost his fetal hair and was white and fat.
He had grown a lot, his eyes were brighter, and he was waving his chubby little fists wildly. When he saw Lin Jinrong teasing him, he smiled stupidly at Lin Jinrong, exposing his pink gums.
Back then, Ning'er looked much more like Lu Yan, but Yilang looked more like her. Although her eyebrows were still sparse, it could be vaguely seen that they were her long eyebrows. Although her eyes looked like Lu Yan's, they were a bit more peach blossom.
He is really a beautiful child. Seeing his heartless smile, Lin Jinrong's heart suddenly turned into a pool of spring water. He leaned over to pick up Yilang and gave him a loud kiss on the face.
Very reluctantly, he said: "It's such a pity. My Yilang is so good, but he has never made trouble to me since he was born."
Lu Yan also felt a little guilty: "If my official position were bigger..."
Lin Jinrong hurriedly stopped him: "It's already very difficult. In this case, Erlang went to inquire and see how other people did it. We don't have to make it luxurious and eye-catching, but we can make it more lively."
Luxury is not a contradiction. It is always okay to invite a few more guests and pay attention to details.
Seeing that she listened to his words without saying much, Lu Yan was very happy. He held her hand and whispered: "Ah Rong, let's wait for the future. When he turns one year old, we will have another lively event."
Lin Jinrong understood what he meant. Since Yilang was born, he has been more diligent in his errands and interacted with his colleagues more frequently than before. She knew why he was doing it. The promise he made was just to earn money for her mother and son.
She has a wealthy future, but that's not what she needs right now. She just wants peace. And she can't do it even if she's one year old. But she can't say this to Lu Mian, so she just smiles: "Okay, I'll wait, but
Don't be too tired, Erlang, and don't push yourself too hard. Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. As long as you are safe and wealthy, that's enough."
Lu Yan held Yi Lang's little hand, was silent for a while, and then said: "Arong, don't worry."
Lin Jinrong smiled lowly: "Of course I'm relieved. When you get stubborn, even nine cows can't pull you back." At this point, he sighed again.
Lu Yan didn't know what she was thinking, but he just raised the corners of his lips, hugged her mother and daughter in his arms, and whispered a few words into her ear.
Lin Jinrong blushed and spat in a low voice: "Shameless. You can only think about it. The nuns all said, don't think about it if it's less than two months old."
She is now a little more charming than before she gave birth, and her body is much plumper and softer. When he smells the familiar fragrance on her body, Lu Yan is distracted for a moment, something has changed on her body, and he can almost lose control.
Asking for some benefits, I heard Yingtao say crisply under the curtain: "Grandma, Manager Lin came back. He said that you asked the investigators to find out everything, and I want you to make a decision."
Lu Yan quickly retracted his hand and sat aside. He took Yilang and held him in his arms to cover up the unevenness. Lin Jinrong pursed her lips and smiled: "Let him come over and answer."
Not long after, Lin Gui came over and stood under the curtain to greet him and his wife. Then he told the situation one by one: "Grandma, I visited three houses in total. The price of one house is a little more expensive, but it can be done."
In Qinghe Garden, the other two are slightly cheaper, but the location is not as big as Qinghe Garden, but they are better than Qinghe Garden in terms of elegance. I wonder how many guests will be invited in total?"
It turns out that the large-scale banquets and banquets held in the capital are not organized by myself, except for the particularly wealthy families. There are people in the market who organize them, and they are divided into four divisions and six bureaus. The four divisions are the accounting department and the kitchen department.
, Tea and Wine Department, Taiwan Dishes Department, the six bureaus are Fruit Bureau, Vegetable Bureau, Honey Jian Bureau, Oil Candle Bureau, Fragrant Medicine Bureau, and Arrangement Bureau.
The Accounting Department is responsible for table curtains, mats, curtains, screens, etc. Not to mention the chef, who is responsible for preparing, batching, cutting, and cooking ingredients. The Tea and Wine Department is responsible for the tea soup required by the guests.
, warm the soup, sift the wine, please sit down at the table, open the banquet and greet the guests; the Taiwan Pan Division is in charge of delivering the dishes on the tray, serving the wine, and receiving the cups. The Fruit Bureau is in charge of the fresh fruits during the banquet and serving the wine; the Honey Jian Bureau is in charge of
Molasses, flowers and fruits; the Vegetable and Vegetable Bureau is in charge of vegetables; the Oil and Candle Bureau is in charge of lighting the lights, standing table candles, wall lamps and candle cages, and holding incense clusters and charcoal; the Fragrance Bureau is in charge of medicine dishes, incense balls, and firebox incense.
Cakes, sobering decoctions, etc.; the arranging bureau specializes in hanging paintings, arranging flowers, sweeping and spreading.
In a word, as long as you have money and contribute money, these people can help to make the banquet elegant and neat without any effort. The most picky people will not laugh at you or don't understand the rules. You are guaranteed to be satisfied.
"This is the advantage of being in Beijing. There is nothing you can't imagine but nothing you can't do." After hearing what Lin Gui said, Lin Jinrong couldn't help but sigh with Lu Mian: "If you were somewhere else, don't you tire me to death?"
Lu Yan said: "If you are worried about this elsewhere, then you might as well just do it casually. Although this matter cannot be done in a big way, it cannot be done carelessly. In this case, there is no rush to wait for a day or two.
I'll draw up the guest list tonight, and after I finish running my errands tomorrow, I'll go over there myself and decide on the location."
Lin Jinrong agreed and called Chun Ya and Lu Liang's family to come over and give instructions: "Although we are not holding a banquet at home, those who are close to us in the morning will still come to watch the baby's washing, so drinks, tea and fruits are indispensable. It is time to prepare. If there is manpower
If it's not enough, I'll hire a few to do odd jobs." Seeing Tao Ying and the others standing aside, he assigned tasks one by one. Lu Mian watched from the side, feeling that these days were getting more and more exciting, but he felt sorry for Lin Jinrong who had just turned one month old.
Just take care of these trivial matters.
The day to entertain guests was chosen on May 16th, and the banquet was held in the Qinghe Garden. On this day, all the officials took a break, so it was a good time to entertain guests. It was still dark, so the whole family got up, tidied up, and started cooking.
The fragrant soup was boiled, everything was cleaned, and fresh fruits were placed, just waiting for the guests to come.
Just then, the first guest came to the door. By noon, the main hall was already crowded with guests of all kinds. There were dates, copper coins, onions, garlic and other things in the large copper basin filled with fragrant soup. Spring buds held a bunch of them.
The colorful silk came out and carefully placed the copper basin around it. Aunt Sha smiled with a smile on her face. She took a golden hairpin and stirred it symbolically in the basin a few times. The guests who were watching all around threw it into the copper basin.
Gold, silver, copper coins and dates.
After a few dates floated to the surface, someone shouted: "The one on the left is standing upright."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Xingniang took a step forward and fished the date into the water neatly. She picked up the date and ate it with a smile. The little daughter-in-law next to her took a step slower and watched her eat it with a sour look on her face.
Just pretend you didn't see it.
Zhao Qiongniang couldn't help but smile and said: "You are really quick with your hands and eyes."
Xu Xingniang held the jujube in her mouth and smiled and said, "Don't you know? I don't have a son yet. People say that if you eat it, you can have a son. Of course you have to have quick hands and quick eyes." Seeing another jujube stand up, she immediately went to fish it out again and stabbed it diagonally.
He stretched out a hand and snatched the date from between her fingers. She couldn't help but widen her round eyes and stared at the woman who snatched the date from her. But it was a thirty-year-old woman.
The next-year-old woman was also wearing gold and silver. She had a sullen face and lowered her eyes, chewing dates slowly, but her face was red to the roots of her ears.
Xu Xingniang gave the woman a strange look, but didn't say anything. She took a step back, chewed the red dates in her mouth, and squinted at the woman. Zhao Qiongniang hit her on the head with a folding fan.
He whispered: "You are so greedy. One is enough for you and you still want to grab them all? Are you afraid that people will laugh at your family, Wei Sanlang, for not being able to buy jujubes for you to eat?" As he said this, he couldn't help but look at the woman more.
The woman's face turned even redder. She turned her face to the side and still firmly swallowed the dates in her mouth.
Zhang Shanniang covered her mouth with her fan and asked Lin Jinrong in a low voice: "Who is this person?"
Lin Jinrong recognized all the women in the room regardless of whether they were familiar with them or not. However, the woman who was snatching the dates was a bit shy, so she waved Chun Ya over and asked, "Who is that lady?" Chun Ya still asked.
Before he spoke, a female relative of Lu Jian's colleague stood next to him and whispered: "That's Liu Zi'ang's family, who is the editor of Jiying Palace. Because she and her husband have been married for more than ten years, they only gave birth to one daughter, and they bought several concubines and none."
When I came out, I didn’t want to adopt a step-nephew, and always wanted to have one myself, so when I was washing my son, she was the one who grabbed the most important dates. In the end, he was just a poor person."
Lin Jinrong sighed and stopped caring about Mrs. Liu, concentrating on watching Yilang's haircut, who had just been taken out of the basin and was crying. Ma Wenpo said happy words and held Yilang's head with one hand.
Holding a polished razor in one hand, he shaved off Yilang's fetal hair and eyebrows neatly and steadily.
Yilang was constantly being tortured and watched, very angry, and cried hard, until his little face turned red, and his voice was loud and loud. Everyone was used to seeing this, and they all giggled, and they all laughed about Yilang's body.
Kang Jian, the voice is really loud.
Lin Jinrong looked at his eyebrowless and bald look and found it funny, but she also felt heartbroken when he cried. He hurriedly picked her up and comforted her, but Yilang thought she was hugging her too slowly, and his cries became louder and louder.
