"Lingjun, little Lingjun, give daddy a smile!" Zhou Hexuan pushed the cradle to tease his daughter.
"Yeah, eh, eh..."
Xiao Lingjun's watery eyes widened and he looked at his father curiously, waving his little hands to grab the air.
Zhang Yunhe said with a smile: "Mr. Wang Guowei is indeed a great scholar. The name he chose is really good, nice and easy to remember." After a few words of praise, she asked, "Lingjun is almost one year old, should we do something about it?"
A birthday party."
From a legal sense, the status of a concubine is not recognized, and she is not even as good as a concubine in feudal society.
Only a few friends know about the relationship between Zhou Hexuan and Meng Xiaodong.
Zhang Yunhe proposed to hold a birthday party for the child simply because he wanted to invite a large number of guests and confirm Meng Xiaodong's status as concubine.
Meng Xiaodong naturally understood, but she was worried about damaging Zhou Hexuan's reputation, so she quickly said: "Let's just get together with my family. Invite my uncles and others, and don't invite others."
"That's fine." Zhang Yunhe was a little helpless.
Zhou Hexuan had to take into account the feelings of Zhang Leyi and Meng Xiaodong at the same time. Zhang Leyi would be unhappy if he invited too many people, and he would feel sorry for Meng Xiaodong if he invited too few. He compromised and said, "I'll invite a few more good friends."
Zhou Hexuan's so-called friends are naturally the kind of people who are relatively close to each other. For example, inviting someone like the leader of the Tianjin Youth Gang or the president of the Tianjin General Chamber of Commerce is very honorable, but it is completely unnecessary. He even doesn't bother to invite a few friends from Peking.
Please, if someone else makes a trip, it will waste time.
In fact, I only invited a few colleagues from "Ta Kung Pao", such as Hu Zhengzhi, Zhu Xiang, Zheng Zhengyin, Wu Mi and Li Shoumin. Shen Congwen went to Shanghai to work as a teacher. There was no other way. This man was probably frantically writing love letters to pursue her.
Female students.
Yuan Kewen, Mr. Yuan, and Zhou Hexuan did send invitations, but they were in Shanghai and did not bother to eat Xiao Lingjun's full moon wine.
As for Dao Fei Wenxiu, in order to avoid the embarrassment of her meeting Wanrong, it is better not to invite her.
A few days later, Zhou Hexuan set up three banquet tables at home, and more than 20 of Meng Xiaodong’s family members came.
"Brother Mingcheng, congratulations!" Zhu Xiang came in holding his four-year-old daughter. His wife was pregnant with her second child and was about to give birth in the past few days.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "We are happy together, and I also wish my younger siblings to have a big fat boy!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Shoumin came with his younger brother, handed over the gift and said, "Brother Zhou, this painting is for my niece."
Zhou Hexuan opened it and saw that it was a plum blossom painted by Li Shoumin himself. He immediately smiled and said: "I'm interested."
What surprised Zhou Hexuan was Zheng Zhengyin, who actually appeared with Shi Jianqiao.
Historically, Zheng Zheng was a bachelor all his life because he was accompanied by swords, guns and sticks. In order to avenge her father, Shi Jianqiao married the head of the intelligence unit under Yan Xishan. Since her husband was not interested in revenge, she took him with her.
The children returned to Tianjin and immediately separated from their husband.
These two people who couldn't compete with each other actually came together because of the butterfly effect brought about by Zhou Hexuan.
It's normal if you think about it seriously. Zheng Zhengyin is a hot-blooded Chinese character, and Shi Jianqiao is a fierce woman. They can easily look at each other.
Soon, Hu Zhengzhi also arrived with his wife and presented a jade pendant to Xiao Lingjun.
Before the formal ceremony begins, a head-shaving ceremony must be completed.
This is a custom and tradition. Full moon wine is also called head-shaving wine. On this day, a head-shaving master will be invited to come to the door and shave off the child's fetal hair. In the old days, the ceremony of shaving fetal hair was very grand. Red candles were lit at home and red cloth was spread on the table.
And place tributes.
Zhou Hexuan didn't pay attention to these things, but Meng Xiaodong's mother Zhang Yunhe did. She paid a lot of money to hire the best hair-shaving master in Tianjin, who often shaved the heads of dignitaries in the concession.
The master who shaved his head also brought an apprentice who was more than ten years old. The apprentice poured white wine into a bowl and carefully used the wine to moisturize Xiao Lingjun's hair.
I saw the master shaving his head with his knife, and a bunch of hair on Xiao Lingjun's forehead disappeared, and it was shaved clean in the blink of an eye.
If it is a boy, a bunch of fetal hair should be left on the back of the head or the top of the head and shaved into a peach shape, called "centenary hair", which can prevent the child from dying prematurely. Girls should have their fetal hair shaved because people think it is shaved.
After the hair is removed, the hair can grow thicker and darker in the future.
The shaving master put away his razor, and Zhang Yunhe took out a "monk's hat" made of red cloth and put it on his granddaughter with his own hands, saying that he could get the protection of gods and Buddhas.
Zhou Hexuan found it quite interesting to watch. The folk customs are traditional. You can believe it or not. It was just for fun.
The master will leave after shaving his head. He cannot stay at the host's house for dinner, but he needs to give him a considerable red envelope, and the tribute on the table must be taken away by the master who shaved his head.
There is a saying that these tributes are used to worship Guan Gong, the founder of barbers. Shaving the fetal hair can also remove bad luck. Moreover, when Guan Erye comes, he can also suppress evil spirits and prevent children from getting sick and dying.
Zhou Hexuan was actually very puzzled, could the ancestor of the hair-barber be Guan Erye?
Mr. Guan Erye is quite good at shaving his head, but the head he shaves cannot grow back.
"Thank you all for coming to drink my daughter's full moon wine today, I'll do it first as a token of respect!" Zhou Hexuan stood up and raised his glass and shouted.
That night, Zhou Hexuan drank a lot.
Especially Zheng Zhengyin, who usually doesn't talk much, and becomes extremely verbose after drinking. He insists on catching Zhou Hexuan and punching him.
By the end of the banquet, Zhou Hexuan was already so drunk that he was dizzy.
Meng Xiaodong's family went to the hotel, including her mother Zhang Yunhe. Her daughter had finished her confinement period, so it was natural for the mother to stay in the Zhou family, otherwise Zhang Leyi would definitely be unhappy.
As for Zhou Hexuan's friends, Zhang Leyi and Meng Xiaodong personally sent them out one by one and called rickshaws for them.
Wanrong and Liao Yaquan were responsible for directing the servants and helping Zhou Hexuan back to the bedroom to rest.
"Sister Wanrong, let me keep watch." Liao Yaquan said, wrung out the hot towel herself.
Wanrong said: "Then I'll ask Xiaolan to make some sobering soup."
After Wan Rong left, Liao Yaquan pushed aside the maid next to him, patted Zhou Hexuan's face and said, "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, can you hear me?"
"Well, well..." Zhou Hexuan muttered with his eyes closed.
Liao Yaquan tried again: "Brother Zhou, who am I?"
"Who are you?" Zhou Hexuan asked subconsciously.
Liao Yaquan spelled out the letters and asked: "What does the combination of i-p-h-o-n-e mean?"
"What?" Zhou Hexuan said unconsciously.
"i-p-h-o-n-e!" Liao Yaquan repeated again.
Zhou Hexuan said in a daze: "Oh, you said iPhone."
"So this English word is pronounced iphone," Liao Yaquan said to herself, and then asked, "What kind of organization is iphone? What does it have to do with Apple in California?"
Zhou Hexuan muttered: "Apple? The head of Apple is Steve Jobs, and that place in California is the global headquarters."
Liao Yaquan asked excitedly: "What is Steve Jobs' comprehensive name?"
"Steve Jobs, we all call him Gang Leader Qiao...Master, Hululu..." Zhou Hexuan said and fell asleep.
Liao Yaquan shook Zhou Hexuan vigorously several times, but she could not wake up. Even so, she was overjoyed because she had made a huge breakthrough in her latent work.
She knew how to pronounce iphone, knew that the headquarters of this organization was in California, USA, and even knew that the leader of the organization was named Steve Jobs, and was also called "Gang Leader Qiao".
Wanrong came back soon with sobering soup. Liao Yaquan said: "Brother Zhou is asleep, let him have a good rest."
"Don't catch a cold." Wanrong helped Zhou Hexuan get a thin blanket.
When the two women went out chatting and laughing, Zhou Hexuan in "Drunken Sleep" suddenly opened his eyes, yawned and said: "Damn, I almost got drunk. The information revealed this time should be enough for the Japanese to digest for a while.
.Liao Yaquan has indeed seen my mobile phone. What official name should I give the Apple organization? Apple, Apple, and Garden of Eden are good. Hey, you can also bring the Freemasons into it. Don’t the Freemasons claim to be descendants of Cain?
Cain is the son of Adam and Eve, and can also be related to Apple and the Garden of Eden. Damn, this story is getting good!"
