Life in Yanjing was getting calmer and quieter, but behind the calm, Lin Kun knew deeply that there were still important issues that had not yet been resolved.
A call from Mobei broke the seemingly peaceful calm.
Something happened to Jiang Yeli. On her way back to her residence after attending a business dinner last night, she was hit by a cement tanker and the car overturned in a ditch. Fortunately, the car was a specially made car that drove from Yanjing, but even so
Jiang Yeli was still injured and lying in the hospital.
Lin Kun hung up the phone with a calm expression. Chu Jingyao was looking towards him. In order to prevent Chu Jingyao from seeing that he was worried, he restrained his murderous aura. In doing so, he was also worried about surprising Chengcheng and Xiao Chuchu who were standing aside.
Returning to the Zhu Family Courtyard, the entire Zhu Family Courtyard was filled with joyous scenes. The excitement and joy were no less than the Chinese New Year.
Mr. Zhu put on a new set of clean and neat clothes, personally greeted him at the gate, and took little Chuchu from Lin Kun's arms. The whole family was happy and happy.
According to the tradition of the Zhu family, there must be a ceremony for the birth of a new child in the family. Boys are called "Dragon around the beam and soar into the sky", and girls are called "Golden Branches and Phoenixes that keep their eyebrows away from men". (10)
In the past, this set of rituals was extremely complicated. It started from crossing the door beam, followed by 'Dragon Walking', 'Phoenix Spreading Wings', followed closely by 'Dragon Roaring Sky', 'Phoenix Mingjin'...
Only when the process of Tao is followed can it finally reach perfection and everyone will be happy.
However, the tradition has developed to this day, and the elderly seem to be more open-minded than in the past. If a child who is only seven days old is really tortured from beginning to end, the mild one will be exhausted, and the slightly more serious one will fall ill.
Whether it is a serious illness or a minor illness, it is unbearable for a child just a few days old.
Maybe it was because people in the past had better physiques and could withstand such a torment?
Now, Mr. Zhu no longer insists on the traditional routine of the past. He is worried that his great-granddaughter will get sick due to the torture, so he simply goes through the procedure.
Although the procedure is simple, the meaning is different. Today, Shao Puyang, the president of the Chinese Yixue Society, came here to bless each item with auspiciousness according to Feng Shui.
Shao Puyang went out some time ago and even went abroad to do research. Not long after returning to Yanjing this time, he got the news that the Zhu family had another child.
Based on Shao Puyang's long-term friendship with the Zhu family, he did not need Mr. Zhu to send anyone to invite him. He prepared his own gifts and visited the Zhu family early in the morning.
Many people came to visit the Zhu family today. People from the other three major families of the four major families in Yanjing all came, and the ones who came were all the old men of the three families, as well as the outstanding second and third generations of the family, and they brought gifts.
They are all valuable, and many cannot be bought with money.
The old men of these four major families have been competing openly and secretly for so many years. The Zhu family and the Song family have always had a good relationship, but they don't move around much for some reason. The Mao family and the Peng family have a close relationship, but they often move around each other.
But it's rare to see four old men gathering together and laughing like today.
Chu Jingyao needed to rest, and little Chuchu couldn't bear the torment. The main tasks of this child who was just a few days old were to feed and sleep.
Lin Kun arranged for someone to take care of Chu Jingyao and Xiao Chuchu, while he took Chengcheng to the courtyard to greet the guests.
It was around three o'clock in the afternoon when the guests were sent away. Chengcheng was already tired, so Lin Kun asked Zhu Shiran to send the little guy back to rest.
After seeing off all the guests, the old housekeeper beside Mr. Zhu whispered a few words into Lin Kun's ear. After listening, Lin Kun followed Shao Puyang to a side courtyard.
There are trees and flowers planted in the remote area, and there is a small wooden fence surrounding the flowers and grass. Although it is in the middle of a busy city, it has a somewhat pastoral feel.
This is a small courtyard for receiving guests. Under a big leafless tree in the courtyard, Shao Puyang, dressed in a Tang suit, is sitting at a stone table sipping tea.
In front of Shao Puyang, there were at least ten kinds of tea, each of which was served in a small bowl. Shao Puyang tasted them one by one, with a look of approval on his face.
When he heard the door open and saw Lin Kun walking in, Shao Puyang immediately stood up with a smile, held his hands together and saluted, "Young Master Lin."
The old housekeeper took the initiative to withdraw at this time, "Young Master, you and Mr. Shao talk to you first. If you have any questions, just give me any instructions. I have arranged someone for you outside."
Before Lin Kun could speak, Shao Puyang smiled and said to the old housekeeper: "Uncle Guan, you don't have to be so polite. It's not the first time I've come to Zhu's house. Don't treat me as a guest. I'm only talking to the young master.
, even if there is any need, I can take care of myself."
The old housekeeper agreed and then stepped back with a smile. What Shao Puyang said was true. Shao Puyang came to the Zhu family no longer as a guest.
Lin Kun did not sit down first, but smiled and said to Shao Puyang: "Mr. Shao, you are many years older than me, so you don't need to salute me. I can't bear it." After saying that, he also held his hands together and returned the salute.
.
Shao Puyang laughed and said, "Today is different from the past. You are already the young master of the Zhu family, so the etiquette you should pay attention to is still indispensable."
Lin Kun did not continue to talk about this topic. Anyway, if Shao Puyang saluted him in the future, he would just return it intact. He made a gesture of invitation and invited Shao Puyang to sit down. Then he sat down and said: "Mr. Shao, you are so early this morning."
I just came over here, I’m tired by now, why don’t you take a rest first, and we’ll discuss it later if there’s anything else.”
Shao Puyang smiled and waved his hand and said: "Why am I tired? You are the Zhu family today. I am here just to join in the fun. I took a look at the child by the way. In my opinion, this little guy Chu Chu..." He stroked his beard and said with a smile.
: "Forget it, it's better not to tell the child's fate. The future is still so long, and how can we tell clearly about a person's life? But this child's personality follows her mother's in every aspect, and she is a good girl."
(zero one)
Lin Kun knew that Shao Puyang didn't want to reveal the secret. As long as he said something, he would be consistent. He could tell the fate clearly, but what if there were other factors such as parents involved that affected the child?
As for the future, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?
The way of heaven insists on letting nature take its course, and it should be yours. God will not let you miss it, unless it is a heinous crime and Jianning is cunning, even God can't stand it.
Shao Puyang paused again and said: "I asked the young master to come over today. Actually, I have something to discuss with the young master about the treasure of the previous dynasty."
Lin Kun was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "Mr. Shao, are you interested in that treasure?" Before Shao Puyang could speak, he immediately denied it, "Mr. Shao is proficient in Feng Shui and dragon hunting, as well as astrology, gossip, and stars.
Numerology, if you want to get money, naturally some wealthy families will come to your door. Is Mr. Shao helping our Zhu family?"
