Chapter Eighty-Six: The First Birthday Ceremony
This is unheard of and unseen.
According to common sense, the ancestral hall is the most important place for a family, and the degree of rigor in it is the highest, and there can be no negligence and sloppiness.
With the rigorous style of doing things in the Cloud Pavilion, there is no way that anything will go wrong, so there is only one possible explanation for this situation, that is, Qiu Lin doesn't want others to know his true identity.
Wen Qixiao turned his head with questions and asked Zheng Yang softly: "Brother Zheng, this is ......"
Zheng Yang followed his gaze and glanced at the tablet group above, and said in a deep voice: "This is Qiu Lin's family, and there are people who died to save her!" ”
Wen Qixiao didn't say anything anymore, just quietly waited for the worship to end.
As Qiu Lin said, soon this side was over, and the crowd began to move to the hall to continue the next ceremony.
There were already a lot of people waiting in the hall, the Queen Mother and other members of the royal family had already arrived, as well as the main figures in the Cloud Pavilion and the invited guests.
As soon as Qiu Lin and the others entered the hall, the people who were still outside also followed, and as a result, the black pressure almost filled the entire hall.
In the center of the hall is a table of eight immortals, on which is placed a large porcelain plate, the bottom of the plate is the pattern of double dragons playing with pearls, and all around it are patterns with their own meanings. A piece of red cloth is spread in the middle of the plate, and jade medallions are placed around it, jade fan pendants, bows, arrows, books, pens, abacus, scales, rulers, scissors, toys, etc.
Qiu Lin stepped forward and came to the Queen Mother, saluted, and called: "Mother! ”
The Queen Mother helped her up, and kept saying with satisfaction: "Good boy, good boy!" Get up, get up! This child regards her as a mother from the bottom of her heart, and it is really her blessing to have such a caring little padded jacket.
Hearing this, Qiu Lin got up and helped the Queen Mother to sit on the main seat, which was the position of the elder, and turned around and pulled the emperor to sit on the second seat, which is also a very important position.
In this other world, she has no parents, and the Queen Mother is not only her godmother, but also his second brother's mother in this other world, and that is also her mother.
As for the emperor's second brother, they all say that the eldest brother is like a father, so he is now like a father.
The people around who didn't know saw Qiu Lin calling the graceful and luxurious old woman as their mother, and began to talk in a whisper.
After all, the outside world has always rumored that the pavilion master of Cloud Mist Pavilion is a person who has no parents, and now there is another mother, and there is a man with a superior temperament who does not know what his identity is sitting on the main seat, and he is guessing the identities of the two.
When the host saw that the host had taken his seat, he stood aside and dutifully sang: "Comb your hair and start ......."
Fang Xuemei sat in the center of the hall with Yu'er in her arms, Qiu Lin took the comb handed over by the maid and put it on the tray, pressed Yu'er's little head with one hand and the comb with the other, waiting to comb Yu'er's hair according to the host's lyrics.
The host began to praise the song of peace: "A comb of wisdom opens, the baby is smart and cute; The second comb of wealth comes, and the baby's wealth rolls in; The three combs are skillful, and everything you do becomes a treasure; Sicomb has good popularity and a lot of friends; Five combs and six combs comb into a good baby who lives a long life......"
Qiu Lin slowly combed Yu'er's hair according to the lyrics, and the host sang a few words, she combed it a few times, and then went to the next step when she finished combing her hair.
The host then sang: "Offering incense to worship the Lord of Heaven and Earth......"
Qiu Lin took the three incense sticks handed over by the housekeeper, and hesitated in his heart: Do you want Wen Qixiao, the real biological father, to come to the incense? If he is not allowed to put on incense, is it also unfair to him? Will he have any regrets after he learns the truth in the future?
In the end, she asked the housekeeper to light three more incense, and just when everyone was curious about what she was going to do, I saw that she took the three sticks ordered by the housekeeper and came to Wen Qixiao, and invited: "Brother Qi Xiao, you can come with you too!" ”
Wen Qixiao didn't take the incense she handed over, and refused: "This, it's not appropriate, right?!" You're his father! ”
Qiu Lin bit her lip lightly and said slightly awkwardly: "Didn't you say that you may not have your own children in this life?" Since he is your godson and you are his godfather, why not. ”
After speaking, he grabbed his arm and dragged him away, came to the Eight Immortals table in front of the hall with fruit and pastry offerings, stuffed three incense sticks to him, and worshiped the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
Wen Qixiao was so confused by her that he had to worship the Lord of Heaven and Earth together, and begged the Lord of Heaven and Earth to bless the child with health and happiness and a worry-free life.
Qiu Lin's willful behavior was like throwing a cannon in a pond, and everyone reacted a little too much.
People who knew her true identity looked at her with a surprised expression, wondering what she meant by doing this. But it's not as simple as she said, he is the child's godfather and the child is his godson.
But those who don't know her true identity are amazed that she disregards customs and customs, and even asks an outsider to pray for blessings together.
It's just that everyone doesn't know that this godfather is the real biological father of this child, a fake relative.
But even this "godfather" doesn't know that this child is also his, not only will he not have no heirs, on the contrary, he is already the father of three children.
This secret is only known to Qiu Lin alone, including the secret that her two brothers don't know.
After offering incense to the Lord of Heaven and Earth, the next ritual is carried out - the elders pray for blessings!
Qiu Lin hugged Xiao Yu'er, starting from the Queen Mother, the highest ranking in the family, and then to Zheng Yang and his wife, the emperor and his wife, the princes, and Su Yun and his wife......
Each elder will touch Xiao Yu'er, give a gift, and then send an auspicious word of blessing.
When it was Wen Qixiao's turn, he took out a delicately carved jade plaque that he had bought on the street two days ago and gave it to him.
It took a lot of time to come down this lap, Xiao Yu'er seemed to know that today was his first birthday, and she was also very cooperative with the adults tossing and turning, smiling from beginning to end.
The next ceremony is the highlight of the day, and that is - Catch the Week!
Xiao Yu'er was placed on the red cloth of the oversized porcelain plate in the center of the hall and sat down, and the little guy sat on it, looking left and right, looking at the various objects around him with curiosity.
Compared to the little one's calm and calm, the people around him seemed much more excited than the little one, and they kept shouting for him to grab their favorite items, each of which had its own fans.
Xiao Yu'er looked at a circle of all kinds of items, whenever he reached out to grab something, there would always be a lot of people shouting the name of other items, the little guy would open his big round eyes to look at the people around him, and then smiled sweetly, and immediately the hearts of the people around him were cute.
In the end, the little guy was not influenced by the people around him, but still chose the few items he wanted to take at the beginning - abacus, weighing and pen!
Everyone was happy to see the three items he had chosen in the end.
This kid is going to take over the mantle of his old man!!
Generally, children only catch one item every week, and there are two more to catch, and few to catch three at once.
This little Yu'er not only grabbed three items at once, but also caught a series, which is really a god.
"It's really worthy of being the little master of Cloud Pavilion, born to do business!"
"Yes, there is a successor to the Lord of the Autumn Pavilion!"
"Cloud Pavilion, this is going to the next level!"
"As the saying goes, where there is a father, there must be a son!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and after a genius, he must be a genius! ”
“……”
I didn't take Yu'er's choice of Qiu Lin seriously, it was all a joke of customs, just to be auspicious.
In the future, no matter what industry the children choose, as long as it is good and does not do anything harmful, it will be up to them to do it according to their own wishes.
Other people are different, they all think it's amazing.
Wen Qixiao has never seen such a catch-week result, and he was also so cute by the little guy that his heart was so soft that he was not presentable.
He turned his head and asked Zheng Yang, who was standing beside him, and said curiously: "Hey, Brother Zheng!" Do you know what Qiu Xia and Qiu Jing caught when they caught Zhou? ”
Zheng Yang burst out laughing when he heard his question, and asked rhetorically, "Brother Wen, can you guess what Xia'er and Jing'er have arrested?" ”
Wen Qixiao glanced up at Qiu Xia and Qiu Jing, thought for a moment, and guessed: "Qiu Xia chose weapons, and Qiu Jing chose the study?" ”
Zheng Yang nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not bad!" That's right! How did you guess? ”
Wen Qixiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guessed blindly based on their personalities. ”
Zheng Yang continued: "Back then, Xia'er, the little girl, chose a sword and an abacus, and Jing'er chose a jade medal and a pen, and later we found that the personalities of these two children were really in line with the items they chose.
Xia'er is really lively and active, her martial arts are not bad, she is not worse than a man, and she also has a strong business acumen, and ordinary businessmen can't play her at all.
Jing'er is very interested in the affairs of the court, don't look at his young age, now he has begun to help the prince of this dynasty deal with some affairs, and he has handled it very well, as long as he is dedicated to the world, he will also be a rare pillar of the country in the future. ”
Wen Qixiao heard that Zheng Yang praised Qiu Jing so much, and couldn't help but look at Qiu Jing twice.
When he first saw this guy Qiu Jing, he was already very impressed by his calm and extraordinary temperament that did not match his age, and now Zheng Yang said that it was really in line with his character.
I really didn't expect that the three children of Qiu Lin are all extraordinary people, what kind of excellent family must be in order to give birth to and educate such excellent offspring.
After the end of the week, there is still a period of time before the opening of the first birthday banquet, but the first birthday banquet is held on the school grounds, and it is not a short distance from this hall, and many people and others have begun to walk to the school field one after another.
