Chapter 259: Zhu Biao's Trial Ceremony

Winter goes to spring, and flowers are in full bloom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info first the spring flowers began to announce the good news, and then the peach blossoms red and pear blossoms were white, and soon the flowers of the Guogong Mansion were blooming, among which the most colorful was the azalea, which was red and red and bloomed in large areas of green leaves, as if stringing into a series of burning colorful clouds, warm and unrestrained.

Usually the servants of the Guogong Mansion would clean up these fallen petals, but today they deliberately let all kinds of brilliant petals fly around. In addition, they will also hang red lanterns and red silk scarves on the branches of the eaves of the house, because today is the third birthday of Zhu Biao, the youngest son of the Guogong Mansion.

Three years, counting the days will feel very slow, but looking back, I find that it is only in the blink of an eye.

The old doctor once said, "Look at the old at the age of three", as long as Zhu Biao can grow up safely and peacefully, he will not be prone to illness after the age of three. Therefore, in the past three years, Ma Xiuying has lived like walking on ice floes, trembling, for fear that Zhu Biao's heartache will suddenly attack and unfortunately die. Fortunately, the child was well cared for and did not experience shortness of breath or shortness of breath again.

Looking at Zhu Biao, who is now white and pure, with a ruddy complexion, Ma Xiuying can still remember the appearance of the baby with a cyanotic body and a gossamer, everything is like a dream but not a dream. She stared intently at Zhu Biao, who was tidying up her appearance, and her heart swelled with infinite joy and pride. Her biao'er has not only grown up healthy and healthy, but also a smart and sensible child.

Big families actually attach great importance to the full moon and weekly rites of their children, but in the past two years, Zhu Yuanzhang had frequent wars and often went out on expeditions, and he and Ma Xiuying were worried that the noise would affect Zhu Biao's condition, so they did not hold a full moon and weekly ceremony for Zhu Biao, but just asked for a peace charm for him. Now that Zhu Biao has reached the age of three, he has passed the hurdle mentioned by the old doctor, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to hold a ceremony for him to catch Zhou, and officially told everyone that Zhu Biao is his eldest son and the descendant of the Zhu family with high hopes.

In fact, the Qing Dynasty only had the name of "grasping the week" and "trying the week", and before that, this custom was called "period Yang" or "trying". Ma Xiuying thinks that these two names are quite good, anyway, Zhu Biao is not predicting the future at the age of one, so it may be more accurate to call it "try".

Zhu Biao's trial ceremony, Zhu Fan will also appear, this is the first time they have seen a foreigner. The two children have red lips and white teeth, and their faces are like condensed fat, like golden boys under the lotus seat. They have been raised to be extravagant since they were young, and they are very cute without dressing up. But formal occasions have to be formal, so the two children still have to be carefully groomed.

The combed Zhu Biao is dressed in a brocade purple robe, wearing a small jade crown, a peace lock on his chest, and a sac that symbolizes longevity at the waist, looking very energetic.

Zhu Fan had his head tied up in a bun, a red jacket and red pants, his face was flushed, he saw that his brother had a small jade crown on his head and a sac on his waist, but he didn't have it, so he danced with his hands and grabbed desperately.

Li Guihua went to pull him, but he still didn't give up, and he was about to cry when his mouth was deflated.

Zhu Biao hurriedly took off the bag and gave it to him to play with, and generously promised to give him the little jade crown when the ceremony was over.

Li Guihua hurriedly picked up Zhu Fan and shook the bag to divert his attention, otherwise there would be no need to hold this trial ceremony, and the little trickster would be able to make the house jump in an instant, destroying everything that everyone had worked so hard to arrange.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he laughed, stepped forward to smooth the folds on Zhu Biao's clothes, rubbed his head, and praised: "You know how to humble your brother at such a young age, it's very good." ā€

Zhu Biao replied seriously, "Kong Rong knows that if you let pears, I will also let my younger brother." ā€

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more happy, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said to Ma Xiuying: "Look at our good son, how sensible he is." ā€

Ma Xiuying's eyes were full of joy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but crack, with such a well-behaved and ironing child, she felt that her life was complete.

Li Guihua squeezed her hand slightly, what a happy family, how good it would be if the woman standing next to Guogong was herself.

Xun Ying lifted the curtain, "Duke Guo, Madam, the auspicious time has arrived, and it is time for Gongzi Biao to go and worship his ancestors." ā€

"Son, let's go, go kowtow to your grandfather and grandmother. Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Biao's hand and instructed Ma Xiuying to take Zhu Fan to the living room first. Women in this era are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, but Zhu Fan is qualified, but everyone is afraid that he will be disobedient when he enters, but he will disturb the ancestral spiritual position.

Ma Xiuying came to the living room as she said, and the guests had entered the door one after another. Those who know and don't know each other get together to greet each other and chat politely.

Considering Zhu Biao's physical condition, Zhu Yuanzhang did not invite too many guests, and all the people who came were some core figures in his henchmen, such as Li Shanchang, Guo Xing, Guo Ying, Tang He, Feng Brothers, etc., as well as Zhou Dexing, who was very thick-skinned and automatically came to the door to give gifts.

On the female side, Ma Xiuying invited Zhou Huniu, Yang Yunhua and Mrs. Wu. Coupled with the Zhu family's relatives Xiao Zhang, Wang, Zhu Wenzheng, Zhu Wenzhong, Li Zhen, Zhu Muying, Yuan Xing and others, there are really a lot of people.

Many guests, including the relatives of the Zhu family, actually filled the entire hall, and a large part of the reason was that the gorgeous carpet on the ground had already taken up half of the space. This is a plain wool carpet hand-woven by Tibetan people, but what attracts attention is not its exquisite craftsmanship, but the densely placed items on the carpet: knives, swords, bows, pens, books, threads, money, abacus, pastries...... Even a large seal representing the presence of the prince was put out.

The waiting guests were in a commotion, you and I were all guessing what Zhu Biao would choose.

"Everyone, please wait a moment, Guogong and Biao'er will come right away after worshipping their ancestors. Ma Xiuying smiled to soothe everyone's anxious mood.

When the red sun was headed, Zhu Yuanzhang came slowly in the sun bathing in Zhu Biao, his strong arms tightly supported his young body, and his loving eyes were glued to his immature cheeks, making people feel a kind of fatherly love like a mountain.

"Here they are. I don't know who shouted, and the people immediately closed their mouths and looked at today's little birthday star curiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang greeted everyone, put Zhu Biao on the carpet, patted him on the back, and pointed with a smile, "Good son, go ahead, pick your favorite thing." ā€

Zhu Biao still couldn't understand the meaning of picking these things, he stood in place, tilted his head and looked sideways, sometimes looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, sometimes looking at Ma Xiuying, as if he was thinking about which thing to pick up would make his parents happy.

Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't move for a long time, Zhou Dexing couldn't help but shout: "Biao Gongzi takes a knife!"

At the beginning, everyone roared.

Yuan Xing: "Bow! Bow!"

Zhu Wenzheng: "Money! money!"

Yang Yunhua: "Gun! gun!"

Li Shanchang: "Print, Seal!"

More and more people shouted loudly, every item was mentioned by them, and everyone expected Zhu Biao to get what he chose.
