I went to the celebration banquet and declined many invitations.
On the day of Brother Zao's first birthday, Huo Tian and Jiang Nuan invited several families with whom they had become friends as guests.
Huo Tian was awarded the title of First-class General Zhongjing, not to mention rewards.
Now he can be regarded as the first among the generals. These achievements are all made with swords and guns, and no one is dissatisfied.
On this day, men and women sat separately. For the female family members, Yu Hanying sat at the same table with the elder ones.
Jiang Nuan was accompanying someone about his own age.
Among them were Xu Chunjun, Mo Yuzhen, the head of Jiaming County and others.
Most of the people invited were present, except Dai Mingzhi who was unable to attend due to illness.
Everyone knows that Dai Mingzhi has been frail since he was young. He has lived in southern Sichuan for many years and contracted rheumatism.
Whenever the weather gets cold, I often get sick.
The head of Jiaming County will get married to Ke Wangchen next year. This royal daughter, who has been arrogant since childhood, has become gentle and quiet because of Ke Wangchen, as if she has become a different person.
Mo Yuzhen was also three months pregnant, but her joy was less severe and everything was almost as usual.
She was also very favored in the Zeng family. Nowadays, people in the Yongxian County Prince's Palace keep silent about Zeng Ci and keep a low profile to the outside world.
Zheng Wuji was appointed to a small official position in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He worked on errands every day and no longer had the idleness of the past.
Xu Chunjun has to take care of things at home. Fortunately, she is capable and does not find it hard.
Before the banquet started, all the guests were sitting around drinking tea and talking.
The third wife of the Cen family smiled at Jiang Nuan and said, "Why don't you see your brother? Come and bring him over so we can have a look."
"They fell asleep just now. I told them to bring them when they wake up." Jiang Nuan replied with a quick smile, "Actually, it's nothing to see. It looks like a live monkey."
He said it and everyone laughed.
After a while, the nurse brought the child in.
Children don't like it when they see people around. Fortunately, Brother Zao saw Xu Chunjun at a glance, which was common for him, and he stretched out his hands to hug her.
Xu Chunjun held him in his arms, found another clean teacup, and poured warm water for him to drink.
He also took snacks from the table and fed them to him.
"Look, this kid has nothing to do with Mrs. Zheng. Why doesn't he recognize his godmother?" someone asked.
Jiang Nuan hurriedly shook his head and said: "This can't be done, we want to get married."
At this time, people had already prepared all the things for Brother Zao to catch Zhou. They came in and asked Jiang Nuan for instructions: "Madam, the wedding stage for Brother Zao Zhou has been laid out. It will be a good time soon. Please come over, please."
!”
After hearing this, everyone said happily: "This is the most interesting game. It can test the ambitions of the children's parents when they grow up. Let's go and have a look and add years to our lives."
The so-called "adding age" means that relatives and friends put some gifts on the wedding table when their children are pregnant. On the one hand, they look good, and on the other hand, they are also full of etiquette.
In the main hall, the golden brocade carpet decorated with flowers was filled with various objects to test the child's future.
The guests also placed rare gifts such as jade pendants, ingots, and small golden bows.
Zheng Wuji was not serious after all, so he made a little beauty carved out of jade and put it up.
Black jade is the hair, white jade is the skin, and ocher jade is the shirt and skirt. She looks back sideways, charming and charming.
Huo Tian took off the ancestral dagger he wore all year round and put it up.
Brother Zao was carried to him and stopped to look.
Everyone urged him: "Catch him quickly, and see which one he likes best."
Brother Zao's face was sullen, his dark eyes looked over everything on the blanket, and he walked directly towards the little jade beauty.
He still walked unsteadily and staggered, but he could not even turn a corner.
He grabbed the little beauty and held it tightly without letting go.
"Oh, I don't blame the child." Everyone laughed, "Everyone has a love for beauty!"
Immediately afterwards, Brother Zao took a few more steps, grabbed Huo Tian's dagger, and refused to let go.
Don't even look at anything else.
"Hey, if he didn't catch one, why did he catch two?" Jiang Nuan laughed, "So greedy."
"What's the point of being greedy? Isn't it great to have accomplished great achievements and win a beautiful woman?" said the Lord of Jiaming County with a smile.
Everyone also nodded in agreement.
"Okay, okay, take him down quickly!" Jiang Nuan was afraid that the child would fall and be hit by something again.
The maid took Brother Zao down. Jiang Nuan was afraid that he would drop the beauty and hurt him with the dagger, so she wanted to coax him to take it over.
Unexpectedly, Brother Zao refused to let go no matter what he said. No matter who asked for a replacement, they all refused.
"The dagger is fine, the scabbard is tight, and a child like him can't pull it out." Huo Tian came over and said.
"But what should I do with the beauty?" Jiang Nuan said, "What a beautiful little thing, it would be a pity if it got broken. Besides, if it does get broken, he will still look for it later.
You don’t know that this kid is just as stubborn as you. He won’t change the things he sees for sure, and even if he takes something similar, he still can’t fool him!”
"Then let those who are looking at him be careful." Huo Tian said with a smile, "If he is just standing by himself and is so short, it won't be a problem if he falls to the ground. The ground is covered with carpet anyway."
Then the banquet was held, and everyone drank happily and had a great time.
It wasn't until sunset that everyone said goodbye.
Xu Chunjun and his wife stayed until the end and helped Jiang Nuan and his wife send everyone away before they said goodbye and left.
"Sister Xu, brother-in-law Zheng, let's get together some other time. There are so many people today that we can't talk well." Jiang Nuan took Xu Chunjun's hand and said.
"Go to my house another day!" Xu Chunjun replied with a smile, "Try the skills of my cook."
"Then it's agreed that we'll go whenever you have free time. Anyway, we two are free now." Jiang Nuan smiled. She regarded Xu Chunjun as her sister.
After sending everyone away, Jiang Nuan and Huo Tian came back.
Brother Zao was already fast asleep, still holding the beauty and the dagger tightly.
Such a young child actually knows how to cherish these two things and refuses to put them down easily.
Even if you have to put it down, do it gently.
On the carriage back, Zheng Wuji sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Xu Chunjun asked him with a smile.
"They all said today that we should have a daughter as our first child," Zheng Wuji said with a sad face, "But you know I'm afraid! What if all the romantic debts I owe belong to my daughter? As soon as they talk about having a daughter,
My heart trembled."
After hearing this, Xu Chunjun comforted him: "In my opinion, you don't need to worry too much."
"Why do you say that?" Zheng Wuji asked.
"Although the theory of karma and retribution has been around since ancient times, it is only for those who are obsessed with it.
You have already changed your ways. When the prodigal son returns, he has changed his karma.
All the ridiculous things you did before have now been corrected one by one. They can be considered to have produced good results, and they should no longer involve your children."
Zheng Wuji listened to her words, thought about it carefully and said, "In my opinion, I'm afraid it's not enough."
"What can be enough?" Xu Chunjun asked him with a smile.
"Only if I am loyal to you until death, not taking concubines, not having sex with each other, and not having any evil thoughts towards women other than you, can I be able to withstand this." Zheng Wuji said.
Xu Chunjun looked at him and smiled without saying a word.
"Why are you laughing?" Zheng Wuji asked her, turning his face sideways.
"I just thought it would be great to have a daughter. Most likely she will look like you and be the king of the country." Xu Chunjun narrowed his eyes slightly.
The sunset fell through the car curtains on half of Zheng Wuji's face. The left face was bright and the right face was dark. The outline was handsome and the facial features were exquisite.
