Chapter 281: Giving a Name

Since the birth of her daughter, Zhang Yunwen has been happy all day long, and she is also energetic when she does things. Under his leadership, a positive atmosphere permeated the entire investigation institute. If he saw someone moving a little slower, Zhang Yunwen would shout two sentences loudly. For a while, even a piece of information had to be passed on at a trot in the investigation hospital.

When I returned home and saw the small, less than seven pounds baby, lying quietly on the bed, I felt a sense of home in my heart.

Seeing that the child is almost full moon, but until now, the child's name has not been determined, which makes Zhi Rou and Li Yu a little anxious, it is impossible to call "girl, girl" like this. When the two of them told Zhang Yunwen about this, the latter grinned: "When my daughter is full moon, let Your Majesty name it himself!" ”

In this way, time passed, and the child was about to reach the full moon.

Zhang Yunwen spread the post ten days in advance, and almost sent invitations to the civil and military forces in the court, the young civil and military officials, the nobles of Chang'an, and Li Shimin, inviting them to participate in the full moon banquet of Zhang Yunwen's daughter on the fourth day of the third lunar month.

Of course, this invitation is also very exquisite, those who are related to him, important ministers of the court and others are invited to their own houses, and those officials who are ordinary but nodding friends and only know their names are arranged in the natural residence and the drunken cloud building.

This scene is large, divided into three places, and the manpower is naturally extremely insufficient. Therefore, Mei Xiang, who was in charge of arranging the preparations, first borrowed an old housekeeper, more than 20 maids from Mrs. Wei Chi, and a few cooks, but the manpower was still tight. For this reason, Mei Xiang asked Zhang Yunwen for ideas. Zhang Yunwen thought for a moment, but he asked Li Yu to ask Empress Eldest Sun for help.

Empress Eldest Sun lent Zhang Yunwen very happily, but at the same time, she asked Li Yu to tell Zhang Yunwen and said: "Yunwen, you have made such a name for yourself without the support of your family, which is commendable!" However, compared with those big families that have been inherited for a hundred years, Yunwen doesn't know how much worse your background is, just for a banquet, you can't get enough people, and the dilemma can be seen! ”

These salty and non-trivial words made Zhang Yunwen hear the meaning, and the eldest grandson queen was clearly signaling that she wanted to collect servants and prosper the family. Zhang Yunwen was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered his life experience, thinking that he was just the son of an ordinary scholar in Luoyang City, but after thinking about it, there was something wrong. If nothing else, just talk about your mother. According to the Liu brothers, their mother is glamorous, very beautiful, and talks and behaves, with the demeanor of a young lady, which is not much better than Wang Shichong's daughter. This made Zhang Yunwen a little puzzled, is his father really an ordinary scholar? According to the style of the gate valve family inherited from the Wei and Jin dynasties in this era, how could it be possible to marry a woman like his mother? Could it be that there is any mystery in his life experience?

As for the matter of the Daxing family, Zhang Yunwen thought about it for a moment and decided to just expand it moderately, not to make a servant with more than 10,000 servants and 3,000 guests, it was purely looking for death. Recruit more people, expand a few stores, buy some land, and that's enough, just to cope with the big scene. Besides, starting from Li Shimin and continuing to the Middle Tang Dynasty, the imperial court was suppressing the scholars, if it was like opening some family at this time, wouldn't it be against the wind, maybe it would be burned by the emperor's anger that day.

Zhang Yunwen still clearly remembers that Zhang Liang recorded in history that he was falsely accused of rebellion because of raising 500 righteous sons, and was finally beheaded in Xishi, although he was a hero of Lingyan Pavilion. Well, it seems that he still has a righteous son named Zhang Hun who is a lieutenant in the artillery, and he is still promoted by himself.

Although the decision was made, the matter of collecting servants, expanding shops, and buying fields could not be completed overnight, and now we have to face a major thing to do, which is to organize this full moon banquet.

With the gradual passage of time, the fourth day of the first month of March is getting closer and closer, and the preparations of the Zhang family have almost entered the final stage.

Finally, the fourth day of the third month has arrived.

Horse-drawn carriages or horses stopped outside Zhang Yunwen's door, blocking the entire street. An official and dignitary dressed in brocade robes gave each other hands and entered the mansion.

At the same time, at the entrance of the Natural Residence and the Zuiyun Building, the Liu brothers in dark red robes were standing in one place, next to an elegant white-bearded old man, wearing a red brocade robe, standing at the door to greet all the visitors. Although most of these visitors were officials, they didn't dare to be disrespectful to this old man, because this white-bearded old man was borrowed by Zhang Yunwen from Empress Changsun to receive guests.

Every time someone enters, Zhang Yunwen, who is standing at the entrance of the lobby to greet guests, bows down, and the other party also returns the salute. In this way, it didn't take long for Zhang Yunwen to have a sore back, which was worse than after strenuous exercise in bed.

At this time, I suddenly heard a shout from outside: "Your Majesty has arrived!" As soon as Zhang Yunwen heard this voice, he immediately ran to the door quickly, only to see Li Shimin riding a white horse, followed by a phoenix, and then behind him were several princes riding horses.

Zhang Yunwen recognized some of them at a glance, Xiang He Wei Wang Li Tai, Shu King Li Ke, Yan Wang Li You and others, all of whom were a group of fourteen or fifteen half-year-old men. However, among these people, I didn't see the crown prince Li Chengqian, I'm afraid that Li Chengqian was dealing with all the state affairs arranged by Li Shimin in the East Palace at this time!

Such a battle suddenly flattered Zhang Yunwen. Although he invited Li Shimin, he figured out that Li Shimin could send an attendant to announce a holy decree and give a generous gift, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to drag his family over.

The officials who saluted Li Shimin next to him couldn't help but show surprise in their eyes.

Li Shimin turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite today, I am also here to eat this full moon wine, just like everyone, I am also a guest!" ”

Zhang Yunwen was about to say something to greet him, but Li Shimin took two steps forward and said: "Yunwen, a few days ago, you begged me to choose a name for your daughter, I thought about it for a long time, and finally got something, and when I saw that little girl later, I said the name!" ”

Zhang Yunwen hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" But this matter can be decreed, why do you need to work Your Majesty's jade toe? ”

At this time, Empress Changsun got out of the carriage with several young princes and princesses. Hearing Zhang Yunwen's words, Empress Eldest Sun chuckled: "How long does Yunwen have to let this palace and His Majesty stand at the door?" ”

Zhang Yunwen immediately reacted, and hurriedly said: "Come on, Your Majesty, please!" ”

Introduce Li Shimin's family into the house. The ministers who went to the flower hall first and were leisurely drinking tea saw Li Shimin coming in and were about to salute, but were stopped by Li Shimin. And Empress Changsun took a group of princes and princesses who were a few years old and went directly to the backyard to see Zhirou, Li Yu and the baby.

Li Shimin sat in the flower hall, and the visitors sat down in order of position.

"Well, good tea, this tea is fragrant, like thick and light, drink in the mouth, first astringent and then sweet, the aftertaste is endless, it is really good tea!" Li Shimin took a sip of tea, tasted it with half-squinted eyes, and then said softly.

Zhang Yunwen hurriedly said modestly: "It's not that this tea is good, but the way to process tea is different from the tea that His Majesty usually drinks!" Well, Weichen will write out this method of roasting tea later, and present it to Your Majesty, please appreciate it! ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, guests arrived one after another. Seeing that the auspicious time was almost coming, Zhang Yunwen called a maid beside him and asked her to call Li Yu Zhirou and the others out.

It didn't take long for the noise of warblers and swallows and the frolicking of children to be heard in the flower hall. Everyone knew that Zhang Yunwen's daughter-in-law and the eldest grandson queen had come out, and they immediately looked in the direction where the voice came.

I saw Empress Changsun holding a princess in one hand, walking in the front, Li Yu and Zhi Rou, who was holding swaddling clothes in her arms, walked side by side and followed behind, and Li Yu was also holding a little girl of three or four years old. Behind them were Mrs. Wei Chi and other female dependents.

Although Zhirou was not long after giving birth, she was physically strong and was able to move freely soon, just like usual.

After everyone saluted the eldest grandson, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Come, Yu'er, let me meet that little girl and see how she is doing?" ”

Li Yu took the sleeping baby from Zhirou's hand and walked to Li Shimin's side: "Father, this is the child born by Sister Rou!" ”

Li Shimin took a look, and saw a round, fleshy little guy lying in swaddling clothes sleeping soundly, and his cute little mouth opened and closed from time to time. Such a cute appearance suddenly provoked Li Shimin's "haha" size.

Xu was the sound of laughter that woke the baby up, only to hear a "wow", and the baby cried loudly.

Li Yu hurriedly coaxed gently, beating the beat, hoping to put the baby to sleep again.

Li Shimin's laughter stopped abruptly, looked at Li Yu's disgusted gaze, laughed dryly, turned his head to Zhang Yunwen and said, "Yunwen, do you want to go to a single name for this girl, or take a double name?" ”

Zhang Yunwen glanced at Zhirou, but saw that the latter signaled that he had an idea, and immediately said: "Then take a single word!" ”

Li Shimin said: "I will take the word "Yan" for your daughter!" The so-called 'ice eclipse with color, carved Yan table decoration', 'Dai Xuan's eyebrows, red face and hair color', this one 'Yan' word is beautiful! Besides, wasn't there a Cai Yan in the Han Dynasty? Maybe your daughter can become a generation of talented women in the future! ”

As soon as these words fell, a cheer suddenly sounded all around, some said that His Majesty was brilliant and beautiful, and some said that His Majesty had chosen a proper name, and the sycophants came like a tide, only to hear Li Shimin's smug smile.

"Zhang Yan......" Zhang Yunwen silently recited the name, well, it feels good. At that moment, he pulled Zhi Rou and bowed together: "Thank you Your Majesty for the name!" ”

got this name, and it was given by Li Shimin himself, Zhang Yunwen and Zhi Rou were slightly excited, holding Zhang Yan, who had just fallen asleep, and held them high.

Then, Zhang Yan began to cry again.

At this time, Mei Xiang stood at the door, looking at Zhang Yunwen. Zhang Yunwen felt Mei Xiang's gaze, and immediately said: "Okay, Your Majesty, senior colleagues, the banquet is ready, please come to the table!" ”
