Chapter 362 Centenary Banquet

Hongwu tenth year, February 16th.

On this day, the palace of Prince Qin was hung with lanterns and colorful decorations, a big banquet was held, and the house was packed with guests. It was really more lively than the Chinese New Year.

The royal family and nobles in the capital gathered together to drink the 100-year-old wine of the second eldest son.

Boss Zhu was in a good mood when the old Zhu family had a new member. Naturally, he and Empress Ma came to the Qin Palace to accept the congratulations of the ministers as grandparents.

"Haha, boss, the third child has a son, and the second child also has a son now," he drank high when he was happy. "My old Zhu family is really prosperous."

"Yes, yes." All the old brothers naturally complimented him endlessly and kept toasting.

But in fact, the prince has been married for many years and only gave birth to a son. The third child also gave birth to a son. The second child only gave birth to a son now. All three families are only children... And there has been no movement from the fourth child so far. It seems that it is difficult to give birth to a son again.

.

However, Lao Zhu was right when he said that his family was prosperous. Last autumn, he gave birth to his fourteenth son, Zhu Mei; yesterday, he just gave birth to his fifteenth son, Zhu Zhi...

It has to be said that Lao Zhu is very capable. Even if a group of sons are tied together, they are not as good as him.

Empress Ma was speechless for a moment when she thought of this. She rolled her eyes at this guy, that's all. Having so many sons, how will the court be able to raise them in the future...

Zhu Yuanzhang felt the chill instantly and quickly said to Zhu Di: "Fourth brother, you have to hurry up. It's just a matter of giving birth to a child. It's been a long time. Your father-in-law is very disappointed when he returns to Peking."

"Alas." Zhu Di blushed and said, "My son, I will work hard."

"Fourth, don't listen to dad, he is drunk and talking nonsense." Queen Ma had to speak. If Lao Zhu's words reached the ears of the fourth daughter-in-law, how much pressure would it put on her.

"How many days did you get married last year? He sent you out for a whole year and didn't come back until the twelfth lunar month." As she said this, she glared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Have you given this young couple time? Where are you?

Do you have time to have a baby?"

"Okay, we won't rush you," Zhu Yuanzhang knew that his wife didn't like him recently, so he quickly expressed his position: "Fourth brother, we won't let you go anywhere this year. You will make a baby with your wife at home. When will it be successful?

Get out!"

"Dad..." Zhu Di was so embarrassed that he was going to laugh to his death.

Not only the third child, but also Li Jinglong, Xu Huizu and his gang of friends also laughed so hard that they lost their humanity...

Fortunately, at this time, the second child and his wife came out from behind with the fat boy in their arms, and together they kowtowed to the father, the emperor, and the queen.

"Haha, good." Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. This young couple has been worried about his elder couple for many years.

Now that Qin and Se are harmonious and have created a fat and white boy, Boss Zhu and Queen Ma never dared to dream about it before.

"Get up." Zhu Yuanzhang reached out to take his third grandson and kissed his tender cheeks.

At this time, the female official presented Baijia clothes and Baijia locks, and Empress Ma personally put them on the little baby.

This is the traditional ceremony of the centenary ceremony. A baby born one hundred days ago is called "hundred years old", also called "hundred years old". In order to pray for the child, people will ask for cloth heads of various colors from many families and piece them together to form a child.

The clothes are called "Baijiayi". Its meaning is to pray for the child's longevity, and it is usually worn until the child is one year old and then taken off.

Similar to Baijia Lock, gold and silver from many families are often collected to make a longevity lock for their children. The meaning is self-evident.

Boss Zhu's third grandson's Baijiayi and Baijiasuo are amazing. They were contributed by 101 families who ranked second in the Ming Dynasty.

There were too few things to get rid of, so each family contributed a piece of cloth and a piece of gold.

So a hundred pieces of cloth sewed such a small Baijia Yi; a hundred gold coins made such a small Baijia Lock.

As for the remaining materials, Boss Zhu will not return them!

Well, in a few months his family will have another visit, and the palace will make clothes this year, so there is no need to buy any more cloth.

~~

After the empress personally dressed her third grandson, Minmin quietly poked her dick, which had been enjoying itself.

"What, what happened?"

"My son hasn't been named yet." Princess Qin was speechless for a while.

"Oh," the second child suddenly understood, and quickly said, "Please, please, please give me a name for your grandson."

"Haha, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed immediately and began to think about it on the spot.

Before the emperor's eldest grandson was born, he had already decided on a name. Now it was the turn of the third grandson, who was already a hundred days old and hadn't thought of a name yet.

Alas, this gap really cannot be considered in detail...

Fortunately, it is very convenient to name it now, because Boss Zhu, the setting mad boss, has already figured out the poems about the characters.

In most families, brothers of the same generation share the same character for generation. But Boss Zhu considered that his children and grandchildren would marry many, many wives in the future. It would be too difficult to name each generation with the same character for generation. So he decided to write a poem for each son called Wujue.

The poems of each generation allow all the sons to be independent.

This is obviously not in line with tradition, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites naturally objected. But the objection was ineffective. Boss Zhu insisted on distinguishing the descendants of each branch. He said that in this way, just by looking at the names, you can know which grandson belongs to which branch and which generation he belongs to, which will make it more convenient.

It's clear, okay.

You people with few offspring can't understand the troubles of having many offspring, right?

History can prove that Boss Zhu’s worries are not unnecessary...

Anyway, the matter was settled.

The eldest prince, Zhu Biaoyi, wrote a poem of his own: "If you allow the text to follow the instructions of the ancestors, the emperor Qinwu will win. It is better to follow the road and be lucky, and a good teacher will make good use of it."

The second Qin king, Zhu Zhengyi, wrote a poem of his own: "Shang Zhigong is honest and sincere, but he still cherishes respect and friendship. The heirs are honest and upright, and they will always be trustworthy."

The third generation king of the Jin Dynasty, Zhu Fanyi, wrote a poem of his own: "I am fond of the beautiful and curious, know the new and be cautious and quick in my pursuit. I am careful about my heart and admire the scenery, and I can continue to learn from my predecessors."

The poem written by Zhu Di, the fourth king of Yan, is: "Gao Zhan Qi Jian You, Hu Zai Yi Chang You. Ci He Yi Bo Zhong, Jian Jing Di Xian You."

Although the sixth child is not married yet, Boss Zhu has already made preparations for him - 'Meng Jijun will be honored, his talent will be great, his talent will be promoted, and his career will be successful.'

At that time, the third child asked his father, what should we name him if he is twenty generations later? Boss Zhu replied, let’s try it again.

Zhu Zhen didn't really care. Half the poem mentioned someone hanging himself on a southeastern branch...right, Youjian?

~~

So the second character of this child’s name has already been decided – ‘Shang’

And the last word cannot be used freely. Boss Kuang Zhu stipulates that this word should also be in the order of the five elements, with 'wood, fire, earth, gold, and water' as the radicals.

Because the names of Boss Zhu's sons are all next to the character "木". "Wood makes fire", so the third generation of each branch uses the character "fire" next to it.

For example, the eldest son of the third child is named Zhu Jixi...

Of course, all the above rules do not apply to the emperor's eldest grandson. First, when Zhu Xiongying was born, Boss Zhu had not yet figured out this set of nomenclature that made an outstanding contribution to the periodic table of elements. Second, the prince later asked for instructions whether to give

Xiongying changed his name according to the nomenclature.

Zhu Yuanzhang, a patient with advanced obsessive-compulsive disorder, said without hesitation - No need! My emperor's eldest grandson should be different!

Talking back to the poor third grandson, the eldest son of King Qin was named Zhu Shangkang by his grandfather...

ps. Sorry, the new volume is not very easy to start, so there are only two updates.
