Chapter 15: The Rite of the Full Moon and the Banquet

During this period of time, Zhao Dezhao lived a carefree life, in addition to eating, drinking, and being greeted by various relatives and friends every day, hehe, the Zhao family really looks like a handsome face!

After a while, it happened that the child was almost a month old, so the Zhao Mansion began to prepare a full moon banquet for the child, and he looked busy.

What is a Full Moon? Du Niang said: The full moon is also known as the full moon, which is the traditional etiquette of the Han nationality. In traditional Chinese customs, the birth of a baby is a great joy for the family, indicating that the family has the meaning of continuing the incense and passing on the ancestry, and during the period from the birth of the baby to the first birthday, there are relevant folk customs and etiquette to celebrate the new members of the family, pray for the baby, eliminate disasters, hope that the baby can grow up safely and full of joy, and pray that the baby will become a great official in the future, make a fortune, have a smooth life, and glorify the ancestors. Therefore, the full moon is quite important.

In view of the fact that Zhao Hongyin and his son of the Zhao family are the celebrities around the saint today, they have made some great contributions to the establishment of the Guo family, which makes the Zhao family in Tokyo City and the Great Zhou Dynasty quite concerned.

"Zhao An, here's a list, you call some diligent people to go down and buy a batch of ingredients for the banquet! Be sure to do it well! Don't make a mistake! Do you understand? Li Yikang, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, handed Zhao An a menu.

"Yes! Chamberlain! Zhao An took the list, only to see that it read:

Twenty wild boars, twenty waxed pigs, twenty green sheep, twenty rayels, two hundred catties of miscellaneous fish, twenty turtles, ten catties of sea cucumbers, twenty live chickens, ducks, and geese, one hundred catties of chickens, twenty pig tongues, twenty beef tongues, one bag of hazelnut, pine, peach, apricot and dried fruits, one hundred catties of dried shrimp, two quintals of rouge rice, a cart of dried vegetables, and fifty jars of aged wine.

"Zhao Xin, Zhao Wei, Zhao Yan, you go to the master and send the invitation to the provinces! So I'll take care of it! Be sure to do it well! Don't be lazy! Butler Li Yikang commanded.

"Yes!" The people responded in unison, and went to get the invitations and send them to the homes of relatives and friends.

……

At the back of the house, in Zhao Dezhao's room, at this time, the subordinates shaved the hair of Zhao Dezhao who was "full moon" according to the ancient rites.

"Don't, don't!" Zhao Dezhao twisted his body, waved his little hands, looked very reluctant, noisy, and the subordinates next to him didn't know what to do.

"Dezhao is good, my mother will hug me! Baby, don't make trouble, don't make trouble! "Fortunately, when the mother's eyesight is good, she immediately picked up the child from the nurse's hand.

At this time, Zhao Dezhao was also very embarrassed to cooperate, letting the skilled shaver operate the knife, of course, the shaved hair was not all shaved, and he still had a lock of hair on his forehead, and used the crown tumor of the male goose head to open the meat, which means that when children fall, they will rise like a goose's head and do not hurt their heads. After shaving, it's a cockscomb!

Or his mother knows what she is thinking, "Chunlan, take a look at Xiao Langjun." ”

With a bang, the maid took the bronze mirror and went over,

"Why do you shave like this, it's so naïve!" Zhao Dezhao, who was in his mother's arms, turned his head and looked at the child in the bronze mirror, pouting and making trouble, looking extremely aggrieved.

At this time, the people on the side saw it and covered their mouths......

Then it's time to prepare for the rest of the matter—

After shaving, the subordinates immediately put a dog-headed hat on Zhao Dezhao, put on a bell and tiger head shoes, and put the child on the bed after wearing.

"Yo! The grandson is so delicate, out and out! The eyebrows are handsome, the nose bridge is straight, the lips are clear, and the heavenly court is full, which makes people love it! At this time, Du Shi stepped in from the outside, and boasted.

I saw Zhao Dezhao smiling lightly at his grandmother, revealing two small dimples on his cheeks, looking very cute, expressing his approval of his grandmother's words.

"Yes, yes! Madame is very right! The maid next to him responded.

What's so funny! Don't laugh! Zhao Dezhao was speechless, hehe, I don't know what surprises the family has prepared for himself? What are the delicious and delicious drinks, I am looking forward to it! Zhao Dezhao's mind was full of thoughts, and saliva flowed out.

It took a long time to deal with the matter of shaving Zhao Dezhao's head, and then-

Originally, according to etiquette, the Zhao family was supported, holding an umbrella with bats drawn, walking around the streets and alleys, and looking at each other from the neighbors.

Who made him now the only beloved grandson of Old Man Zhao, but "holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of losing it, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting" stayed in the house with peace of mind, and was taken care of by the subordinates.

In the past few days, relatives and friends from their own families have come to visit the children born in the Zhao family, and batches of them have to come to see what is going on, Zhao Dezhao, a child who is usually not afraid of the living, feels embarrassed when he sees the living.

I'm not just a little kid, what's there to see.

The red tape of the ancients, everything has to pay attention to the card, and the same is true of this modern person -

After a few days of trouble, the full moon banquet of the grandson of the Zhao Mansion was finally held as scheduled, and on that day there was a couplet on the lintel of the gate of the Zhao Mansion, but it was written that the upper couplet: Drink the full moon wine together today, and the lower couplet: He congratulates the ancestors and grandchildren on the other day. Very appropriate!

On that day, the weather was also matched with the beautiful scenery, and the temperature was very pleasant. There were still a lot of people who came here to congratulate their children that day, and it was also strange that the Zhao family was in the "honeymoon period" of the Holy Family.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the Zhao Mansion, and early in the morning, relatives and friends from all over the world came to congratulate them, and the threshold of the Zhao family was almost broken.

Almost half of the dignitaries in Tokyo came to congratulate them with invitations and gifts.

As representatives of the family, Zhao Hongyin and Zhao Kuangyin stood at the door early in the morning to pick up and drop off guests.

"Congratulations to Brother Zhao for getting his grandson!"

"Brother Zhao, what a happy event! Oops, congratulations! ”

"Oops! Thank you, Lord Pan, and congratulations! Inside, please! Zhao Hongyin said, and saw several colleagues in the DPRK and China.

"Lord Zhao, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Lord Li, Lord Wang, Lord Chu, Lord Shi...... Thank you for coming, come—please! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the Zhao father and son looked back. In the perspective, the brown carriage is moving, the nobles in this carriage are afraid of some kind of princely family, although the carriage is very plain, but the surroundings are full of elegance in the reflection of the sun. In the blink of an eye, it was closer, closer.

The carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and out of it came a young man with a strange appearance and a magnificent figure.

"Congratulations to Uncle Zhao, Brother Zhao Xian is happy!" The young man with a majestic figure said, and then asked his subordinates to take the congratulatory gifts and send them inside.

"Thank you Taiyuan County Marquis for coming, please come in the County Marquis!" Zhao Hongyin and Zhao Kuangyin bowed respectfully towards the young man, and it can be seen that this person's identity is so noble. To say that this young man is Chai Rong, the adopted son of the current Great Zhou Emperor Guo Wei. At the beginning of today's Great Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rongxuan worshiped the history of the assassination of Lanzhou (now Puyang, Henan) as a prince, inspected the Taibao, and sealed the Marquis of Taiyuan County.

"Congratulations to the eldest brother for having his son!"

"Congratulations to Brother Zhao for having his son!"

"Congratulations to Lord Zhao!"

"Thank you! Thanks a lot! Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside! ”

……

In an open space in the backyard, wine tables are filled with dishes. are all shameful and delicious delicacies, and everyone is going to salivate when they see it.

All the guests sat down in their seats with a smile and a smile, and the banquet began.

First, it is the time of the Lord's house to speak today.

Zhao Hongyin took a glass of wine from the main seat, walked to the center of the guest's seat, and then cleared his throat.

"Today is a happy event for my old Zhao family, thank you relatives and friends for coming to congratulate! This mere glass of wine is not a tribute! I respect everyone! ”

"Congratulations!" The guests on the seats all stood up and gave a toast to Zhao Hongyin, and there was a sound of staggering in an instant.

Then, in the congratulations of the audience, the banquet officially began.

"Come on, come on, eat red eggs!" The subordinates of the Zhao Mansion began to distribute red eggs.

At the banquet, all relatives and friends toasted to the host's house, and for a while, the guests were full.

After that, Zhao Hongyin beckoned his subordinates to take Zhao Dezhao out for a "walk" to show his personal sight, and the protagonist also smiled and agreed, dancing with his hands, and happily living his full moon banquet.

After the banquet, everyone dispersed.

At this time, in the night of Luoyang, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe walked on the street and came in the direction of Tokyo......
