Chapter 91: Ah Da and the Boudoir
When you're busy, time flies very quickly.
When Lü Wu was preparing to go on the expedition and was busy with the construction of the fiefdom, Zhao Yu and Han Yan's pennies arrived as scheduled.
They seemed to have made an appointment, first Han Yan had a pregnancy reaction, and the next moment Zhao Yu also had a pregnancy reaction.
Because of Lu Wu's attention, a lot of preparations were made in advance, and the process of the two ladies giving birth to a child was thrilling, bringing a new blood of a man and a woman to the old Lu family.
Zhao Yu gave birth to a son, and after she knew that it was a baby boy, she smiled with relief, and she relaxed and fell asleep deeply, which really scared Lu Wu a lot.
It was Han Yan who was still full of vitality after giving birth, but she felt extremely disappointed that she gave birth to a daughter.
As a wife, Zhao Yu, the baby boy born naturally became a son-in-law.
And if Han Yan also gave birth to a baby boy, she would need to be under Zhao Yu's name.
In feudal society, there was only one mother in the aristocratic family.
Even if Mrs. Cong or the rest of the concubines give birth to a child, the mother is also Zhao Yu, not themselves.
Lu Wu, who became his father at the age of sixteen, was actually mentally prepared for a long time.
It's just that when the child is really born, you will find that any psychological preparation is fake, the beating speed of a heart increases, and the brain will actually be uncontrollable for a while.
I don't know if Lu Wu's "bravery" was only played on Zhao Yu and Han Yan, or if the two were really happy.
Although he is usually temperate, he is not a pure hardship, and with the rest of the ladies, he has sown seeds but has not been conceived.
Because the family has an heir, no matter how busy the retainers are, they will rush back, they went to see the baby boy as soon as possible, and then came to meet Lu Wu, the head of the family.
Every retainer was smiling, and the joy in his heart was not much lower than that of Lu Wu, which made Lu Wu feel a little awkward.
What to name the child, Lu Wu thought about it more than once.
In these years, the name is very particular, and the decision of what kind of name is all about how much the elders expect from the child.
Lu Wu picked several names that he had already taken, and decided to name his first son "Yang"; The name of the first daughter has also been prepared in advance, and she will be named "Yi".
Yang: The meaning of the word is related to mountains. Its original meaning is the place where the south of the mountain and the north of the water face the sun; First, the original meaning refers to the place where the light is seen from above, or the place where the sun shines from above; Later, it was extended to daylight, the head of the sun; and by extension the light, the bright, the visible, the exposed, the visible, the protruding; It is also extended to mean openly, obviously, etc.
Yi: The appearance of harmony. Yi as an adjective has the meaning of joyful, pleasant to the human senses, etc.
Lü Wu named his first son "Yang", in fact, he hoped to cover the earth like the sun.
Daughter? Happiness is the most important thing.
After the retainers learned about it, they understood that "Yang" was related to the terrain of the fiefdom, and they brought very good expectations and praised them one after another.
As for Lu Wu's daughter? Not only did the retainers not care what they were called, but even the ladies didn't care.
The name is there, but it must conform to the current customs, and it will be officially "titled" until the age of three, and there must be a nickname first.
Lu Wu didn't actually think about what his son's nickname was, he hadn't decided yet, and he happened to hear others call him "Big", knowing that it was used to call the first child of a family, so he decided to call that nickname, but he preferred to be "Big".
The daughter that no one cares about should naturally be hurt by him and named her boudoir.
Of course, Lu Wu did not show excessive preference for women over men, otherwise Zhao Wu would be suspicious, thinking that Lu Wu valued the Han family and despised the weakened Zhao family; Retainers are also bound to have great opinions, causing unnecessary family conflicts.
In the Wei Xiang of the old Lu family, when he saw Ah Da, he took off the beautiful jade he was wearing.
The quality of that piece of jade is of course extraordinary, mainly because it has been worn on the body since childhood, and the etiquette is not light, and the affection is also heavy.
It's just that like everyone else, Wei ignored Lu Wu's daughter like that.
Lu Wu wondered!
Is the phenomenon of male superiority and inferiority of women so serious in this era?
Actually, no.
Although men are respected, they don't deliberately belittle women, they just don't really pay attention to it.
Of course, if you don't pay attention to it, you won't deliberately abuse it, and you won't lack any treatment.
The old Lu family has descendants, and Lu Wu needs to send someone to the friendly family to inform him.
Those families would then send gifts.
It's just that there is no custom of holding a full moon wine for children at present, and there is no custom of catching a week even on the first birthday, and the crown ceremony is the biggest etiquette.
That is to say, not only are there no modern customs, such as the archery of the Han and Tang dynasties.
Lü Wu had already spent a year in the Spring and Autumn Period, experienced some festivals that were not available in modern times, and lacked the festivals and customs that he was familiar with.
Generally speaking, there are very few festivals at present, which will make people who are used to having so many festivals feel that they are not Chinese at all.
Lu Wu, who specially took time out to accompany his wife and children, really wanted to continue to save warmly, but while his waist was a little unallowed, he really needed to continue to do things.
Why is the waist not allowed?
Needless to say!
Even the rest of the ladies want to get pregnant.
The most important festival in the Spring and Autumn Period is the day of spring sowing, and Lu Wu, as the lord, needs to let his retainers play with it, and the invited "witch" also adds a lot of scenes.
In the past, the old Lu family did not invite "Wu", it was nothing more than that the strength did not allow it, and it was limited by financial resources to come again.
It's not the same anymore.
Lu Wu is a doctor under his name, and the circumference of the feudal collar is one hundred and fifty miles, and there are no longer one or two kittens at home, which should meet the norms of the nobility.
Even Ah Da, who can only be held in his arms, has his own role.
At most, Lu Wu can accept that his son's little face has been smeared with a little color, and it is absolutely not okay to drink inexplicable things.
After some tossing, spring sowing proceeded as scheduled.
And he finally knew that it was not that there was no calendar now, but that the calendar was mastered by the gods and witches, and while controlling the "quadrangular calendar", he also firmly guarded the secret of "astrology".
Therefore, the status is not to a certain extent, and many things obviously exist, but they don't know it.
The tense and busy spring plowing is over, and Lu Wu only has a little time.
He needed to rush to "Jiaogang" within fifteen days, join the sequence of the lower army, and defend the monarch to form an alliance with the Qin monarch.
The expedition was still carried out with the blessing of the family and the farewell of the retainers and subjects.
This time, Lü Wu took with him thirty chariots and five hundred warriors, as well as his subjects and slaves as auxiliaries, a total of more than 2,000 people, and more than 200 ox carts and carriages carrying goods.
Because there was no bridge to cross the river in Fenshui within the boundary of the "Yin" territory, they needed to march south first, reach a place called "Kundu", and take the bridge to reach the west bank of Fenshui.
Along the way, Lu Wu encountered several teams that were also in a hurry, and the strangers were of course on guard, and when they met acquaintances, they did not merge in one place, and everyone went their own way.
Thirteen days later, they arrived at the rendezvous point of "Jiaogang".
