The guests dispersed, the Hou Mansion returned to quiet, the servants of the Hou Mansion cleaned up the mess after the banquet, and after Chen Xu saw off all the guests in the front yard, he also went to the backyard to visit today's little birthday star with a slight drunkenness.

The 100-day wedding banquet is a blessing for the new life, hoping that it will be healthy and live a long life, because the first three months of the baby's birth is basically the weakest resistance, and if you are not careful, you will get sick and die, so this 100-day banquet is also called the 100-day pass, after a hundred days, it means that the baby has been able to shed its swaddling clothes, and really has the ability to resist the external environment, which is also considered to be the growth of life to another stage.

In this era of extremely primitive and backward medical treatment, giving birth to children is not only a responsibility, but also a pain, production is the first ghost gate, a large number of babies and pregnant women died in childbirth, and then a large number of babies died within two or three months, mainly diseases and infections can not be treated, because the baby at this time is basically unable to take medicine for treatment, and then after learning to eat, walk and talk, most of the dangers of premature death are various uncertain factors, such as beast attacks, food poisoning, injuries, drowning, etc., Generally, children do not have basic life support until they are about seven or eight years old.

Therefore, according to the ancient tradition, after the 100-day feast, parents need to choose a nickname for the baby that is easy to call, commonly known as a milk name.

(Note: The nickname originated in the Zhou Dynasty, called the young name, easy to call relatives, Confucius name Qiu, in fact, Qiu is his nickname, which means small soil bag.) During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was also a monarch's nickname that was also very domineering, and Jin Chenggong's nickname was Black Buttocks, because when his mother was pregnant with him, he dreamed of a black-butted god. After arriving in the Han Dynasty, the scholar class felt that the nickname was indecent, and began to gradually abolish the nickname and adopt the correct name. ）

A large group of people gathered in the back hall, Chen Jiang's, Han Tian's, Xing'er, Yu Ji, and Shui Qing's Meng Wanying, Fan Caiying, Fan Caiwei, etc., plus the maid Yingying Yanyan A large room of people are competing to hold today's little birthday star and teasing, and today they also specially changed into a set of snow fox fur dresses, wearing a fluffy hat on their heads, which looks quite festive.

"Here, give me a hug!" Chen Xu took his daughter from Fan Caiying's arms.

"Husband, Erniang has a 100-day banquet, and she needs to be given a young name or a weekday name!" The water gently reminded.

"Well, it does!" Chen Xu nodded, then held his daughter with one hand, pinched his chin with the other hand and began to think, the room was quiet, Fan Caiying looked at Chen Xu even more nervously, hoping that Chen Xu could choose a nice name for his daughter.

"Gentle, how is Erniang's eight characters, is there anything missing?" After a while, Chen Xu suddenly spoke.

The tense atmosphere in the room was broken at once, and Shui said softly and laughingly: "Erniang was born on August 15, and the eight characters of her birthday are all counted, and there are no regrets!" ”

"The five elements are perfect, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is destined to be rich and prosperous, and how about the young name Yuanyuan?" Chen Xu spoke after thinking about it.

"Chen Yuanyuan, a good name that my husband gave to Erniang! Catchy and meaningful......"

"No, no...... It's not a good name, it's unlucky, wait until I think about it......"

Listening to the water softly said the three words Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Xu suddenly shook his face and hurriedly waved his hand, this name is not a good name, it is born unlucky, and there are signs of the destruction of the country and the family.

The family didn't know why Chen Xu suddenly reacted so much, Ying Shiyan said softly beside her: "Husband, I think Yuanyuan sounds very good, complete, reunited, and without regrets......"

"Master Hou, the concubine also thinks that it is better for Erniang to use this name!" Fan Caiying also opened her mouth in confusion.

"It's not good, it's not good, how can Erniang have the same name as the giant panda, wait until I think about it......" Chen Xu waved his hand and thought contemplatively again.

"It turns out that my husband is worried about this, but it's not necessary, the young name has to be lowly to make a living, and there's nothing wrong with Yuanyuan!"

"yes, I think it's pretty good, it's cute!"

"Why don't my sister have another one, how about calling Tuan Tuan when the time comes?"

A group of women were giggling and frolicking beside them.

"Erniang is called Qiuyue, the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival rises into the sky, which also indicates a happy reunion, and the word round is not allowed to be called again in the future!" After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xu finally came up with a new name.

"Yes, thank you Lord Hou for the name!" Fan Caiying happily took her daughter from Chen Xu's arms, and a group of women began to laugh and tease the baby to call the name Qiuyue, Chen Jiang was illiterate, and he didn't know what the difference between Qiuyue and Yuanyuan was, but he couldn't close his mouth happily.

Chen Xu withdrew from the lively room, stood under a laurel tree in the center of the courtyard, and looked up at the slightly hazy sky in a daze.

"Husband!" Shui gently followed, stood next to him and asked softly, "Did the husband remember Miss Chu Yue!" ”

"It's been two years in a blink of an eye, alas~" Chen Xu sighed softly.

"Don't be too sad, don't be too sad, prepare some melon and fruit incense candles softly tomorrow, and go to the grave of Miss Chuyue to worship for your husband!" Shui gently took Chen Xu's hand and comforted him.

"Let's go after sending my father and mother away in a few days, so as not to make the second elder sad when he knows!"

Naming his second daughter Qiuyue, Chen Xu also had an unintentional thought, but when he thought of the word Yue, he would unconsciously emerge after all, a strange and strange girl's shadow would eventually emerge, and this shadow would soon become the last body lying in his arms covered in blood with poisoned arrows, and the smile and brilliance that slowly faded on his pale face made him feel unable to breathe and uncomfortable, and the position of the arrow in his chest would spasm and pain.

Two days later, there was a light snowfall, one after another like jade crumbs, and after this snow, the world seemed to become lonely, the southeast and northwest business travel was much less, except for the library construction site in the south of the city is still in full swing digging pits and filling to carry wood and stone building materials, the street pedestrians are also a lot deserted.

During this time, Chen Xu took the two Niu Dashi brothers and their family to play around inside and outside the city, and even went to the palace to visit the emperor and Concubine Yun once.

And Chen Hu has always been thinking about the training of the 500 young musket team, Chen Jiang and Han Tian are also worried about the chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs and vegetable gardens at home, Niu Dashi is also worried about the mess in Qinghe Town, Chen Xu has been keeping them until the end of November, and he feels that the family can no longer stay, so he chose a good weather and arranged for the carriage and horse servants to send Chen Hu and Chen Jiang, Han Tian, Xing'er, millet, Dashi, Niu Xiaochun and others back.

With a rush of coming and going, a lot of trivial matters, and growing up and starting a family, the family can no longer get together as usual and enjoy that kind of family fun.

"Brother, you must come back when I get married, woo~" Before leaving, Xing'er threw herself into Chen Xu's arms and cried reluctantly, not wanting to leave.

Once married, she will no longer be as close to her brother as she used to, and they may only see each other once a year or two.

"Don't worry, my brother will definitely come back then, after returning home, serve my father and Aunt Han well, take good care of Xiaomi, teach her to read, write, dance, and cut, just like a few sisters-in-law did to you, treat the villagers well after you go back, you and Dashi can use the money in the fiefdom of Qinghe Town at will, but remember not to waste ...... extravagance"

"Brother, don't worry, I've written it down!" After some teaching, Xing'er wiped away her tears and said goodbye to several sisters-in-law such as Shui Gentle, Ying Shiyan, Meng Wan, Fan Caiying, etc., seeing that it was not early, and finally got into the car under the urging of Chen Hu.

"Dashi, I have handed over everything in the family to you, if you let Xing'er be wronged, be careful that I come back and beat you!" Before leaving, Chen Xu punched Niu Dashi hard.

"Hehe, Brother Xu, don't worry, what do you want at home now, there is no shortage of food, clothing, and housing, and you will be ready to be an uncle in two years, let's go!" Niu Dashi also turned around and climbed into the carriage.

"Let's go, be careful on the road! Take care of your parents on the road, and take care of your little sister! Chen Xu couldn't help but have a little sour eye circles.

"The weather is cold, don't freeze the princess, don't send it, out~~" Chen Hu rode on the horse and waved his hand to order to set off, and the sturdy figure with a long sword at his waist looked a little heroic and domineering.

"Drive~drive~" As the horseman's whip waved, more than a dozen carriages started in order, starting from the gate of the Qinghe Courtyard, and roared away under the escort of a group of domestic servants and guards.

"Sister Xing'er, take care, Brother Xiaoxu and I will come back to see you next year!" After the carriage and horses walked away, Yu Ji still kept shouting loudly and waving her hand.

"Take care of my sister, take care of my brother, take care of my sisters-in-law, remember to come back and see me......" In the carriage that went away, Xing'er poked her head out of the lathe and waved desperately, with a hint of crying in her voice.

Some of the servants and maids in the farewell crowd couldn't help but start crying, and even Ying Shiyan, Meng Wan, Fan Caiying and others were also sad, and kept wiping the corners of their eyes.

After a few years of getting along, several sisters-in-law such as Shui Qingrou Ying Shiyan have watched Xing'er grow from a little girl to a slim girl today, and her sister-in-law also gets along happily and harmoniously together on weekdays, especially Xing'er's character, as long as she is at home, the whole Hou Mansion will be full of laughter, and Xing'er does not have the vices that some aristocratic girls have raised since childhood, and the maids and servants in the house still get along better, basically there is no practice of scolding and whipping people indiscriminately, of course, If these situations occur, they will also be severely criticized and educated by Chen Xu, and in the past few years, the maids and servants of the Hou Mansion also like Xing'er and Yu Ji very much.

Generally speaking, the entire Qinghe Marquis Mansion is completely different from all other princes and princesses' mansions, although there are rules here, but it is not obvious, everyone gets along very harmoniously on weekdays.

Xing'er left, and Qinghe Villa was much quieter.

Yu Ji also became a little depressed because of the loss of her playmate, and she either stayed in her room all day long, or stayed in the greenhouse to take care of the flowers and plants she planted with Xing'er.
