Chapter 277: Catch Zhou

In mid-April, Princess Cui Hanlei began to get busy, and her son Li Chengbo was about to turn old, and he was about to catch Zhou when he was old, which was a very important ceremony.

Cui Hanlei's thoughts are complicated, after hearing and witnessing, she knows that Li Rupei's future is not ordinary, in this era when mothers and sons are precious, if her son can inherit Li Rupei's career, then her Cui Hanlei's position will be stable forever, and the Cui family will be able to maintain its wealth for ten thousand years.

Catch the week is the first test of the child's future development, generally speaking, the things that need to be prepared for the week are fixed, including brushes, rulers, abacus, gold and silver, seals, rag heads, etc., the meaning of each thing is different, if it is a boy, can grasp the brush and seals and other things, in the eyes of everyone, the future is not ordinary.

The brush naturally represents the reader, and the seal represents authority.

Even if you are not lucky, you should grasp the ruler, the abacus, the gold and silver, and so on, which signify wealth.

The most scared thing is grabbing the rag head, which is something that only girls grab.

Cui Hanlei is worried about what Li Chengbo will grab, if she catches the rag head, it will be a big blow to her, but who can know about the child's affairs in advance.

In fact, Li Rupei doesn't believe in these things, but Cui Hanlei believes it very much, and attaches great importance to grasping Zhou Li.

When entering May, Cui Hanlei repeatedly reminded Li Rupei that on the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth month of May, nothing should be arranged, and Li Chengbo's Zhou Ceremony must be presided over and participated.

Li Rupei, who was so busy, had no choice but to promise Cui Hanlei.

Li Rupei's main energy has been concentrated on the imperial examination, after the imperial court Enke's holy decree was announced to the world, in March, there began to be scholars to Xiangyang, these scholars after the registration of the Southern Dao Daxingtai, each found a place to live in Xiangyang. Either the readers are moving around with each other, reciting poems and paintings, or they are immersed in hard reading, making final preparations for the exams at the end of the month.

You must know that those who are eligible to come to Xiangyang to participate in Enke have all passed the tests at the county and state levels.

The prosperity of Xiangyang even exceeds that of the capital, after all, it has become the most concentrated place for commerce, including trade transactions with Tubo, Huifu and other places, many of which are carried out here, and the business is prosperous. Other aspects have also developed, such as restaurants, inns, green houses and tea shops, etc., everywhere.

Such a prosperous Xiangyang, naturally attracted the attention of readers, they would never have imagined, it turned out that Xiangyang, which was not very eye-catching, has become so prosperous in just a few years, and there are not too many taboos for readers to speak. When they came to Xiangyang, seeing is believing, which made their evaluation of Fuwang Li Rupei reach an unusual height.

Li Rupei attaches great importance to Enke this time. After all, Enke is held from the south to Daxingtai Mansion on behalf of the imperial court, and all the jinshi that can be admitted will be used by the Daxingtai Mansion of Nanfang Province, which is essential for the stability and development of the south. It is crucial, and the importance of talent does not need to be emphasized for a long time.

A lot of things. Li Rupei was personally involved, including asking the Daxingtai government to treat scholars well.

However, Li Chengbo's Zhou Rite is coming, and Li Rupei has to stay in the palace to pay attention to this Zhou Ceremony.

The fifth day of the fifth month of May.

Early in the morning, after washing up, Li Chengbo put on new clothes.

One-year-old Li Chengbo, barely able to walk on the ground, but the nurse and maid are very careful, for fear that Li Chengbo will fall on his heels, every time Li Chengbo struggles to walk on the ground, they are closely followed, even Cui Hanlei is also extremely careful, always around to take care of, this makes Li Rupei have some small opinions, he thinks that Li Chengbo is to start walking as soon as possible, start exercising as soon as possible, as for Cui Hanlei and others to consider, after Li Chengbo is old, he will invite Mr. to teach knowledge, Li Rupei is very disapprove.

Li Rupei's view is the opposite of Cui Hanlei and others, this is the difference in educational philosophy, it is difficult to reach an agreement, and in the end both sides gave in, Cui Hanlei and others still took care of Li Chengbo, Li Rupei asked Li Chengbo to officially start teaching when he was three years old, and he didn't have to think about learning before the age of three.

If you can start learning at the age of three after the previous one, you can be called a child prodigy.

The weekly ceremony was carried out in the wing room.

At the end of the day, Li Rupei took Cui Hanlei and Li Chengbo to the ancestral hall to worship.

Sacrifices and worships are mainly to beg the ancestors to bless Li Chengbo to grow up healthily and be free from illness and disaster.

In this era, medicine was not very developed, and the possibility of a child dying was very great, not to mention ordinary people, even the royal family could not avoid it, so the ritual of sacrifice and worship was particularly important.

Li Rupei didn't dare to be negligent, he didn't want his son to have any accidents, he almost didn't know anything about medical knowledge, he only knew some common sense in life, such as breastfeeding for children is the best, in addition, it is necessary to eat less and eat more, exercise more, bask in the sun often, wear too many clothes, etc., other aspects are not very clear.

The ritual of sacrifice and worship, Li Rupei is particularly focused, Li Chengbo is not only his son, but also the hope of whether his career can develop smoothly, his son can inherit his career, so that everyone who follows him has the backbone, 10,000 steps back and said, even if he has any accidents in the future, his son can continue to lead everyone to fight, and everyone's wealth can continue to be maintained.

Cui Hanlei originally had some opinions about Li Rupei, because Li Rupei was too busy, and she didn't seem to care much about catching Zhou Li, but when she saw Li Rupei's focused expression when she worshipped, she felt that she was wrong to blame her husband, after all, the burden on her husband was too heavy, and there were too many things to consider.

At three o'clock, the worship ceremony ended, and Li Rupei personally hugged Li Chengbo and came to the wing.

It's strange to say, Li Rupei rarely hugs Li Chengbo, but as long as Li Rupei hugs him, Li Chengbo is very well-behaved and doesn't cry or make trouble.

In the wing, Cui Anqian, Liang and others have been waiting here for a long time.

In the middle of the wing room, there was a large table, on which were placed brushes, rulers, abacus, gold and silver, seals, and rag heads, waiting for Li Chengbo to come and catch Zhou.

At that time, Li Chengbo's capture of Zhou officially began.

When Li Rupei put Li Chengbo on the table, Cui Hanlei was very nervous, she held her mother Liang's hand tightly, looked at Li Chengbo on the table, Cui Qiuyue, who was eight months pregnant, stood beside Cui Hanlei, and Yu Yurong and Yu Lianhan stood on the other side watching all this.

The guests who came to celebrate were all waiting in the lobby, they were not allowed to enter the wing, but the only one who could enter the wingroom was Li Rupei's family.

Li Chengbo's eyes were fixed on the things on the table, and he didn't move for a long time.

However, Li Chengbo's eyes obviously noticed the rag head, because the color of the rag head is extraordinarily bright.

This is a normal situation, Li Rupei can understand, what a one-year-old child can understand, only brightly colored things can attract the attention of children.

Everyone was staring at Li Chengbo, Cui Hanlei was even more concerned, Li Chengbo's eyes were staring at the rag head, of course she could see that Cui Hanlei at this time was pale, and her body was trembling slightly.

Li Rupei can't speak, otherwise he will comfort Cui Hanlei, isn't it just a Zhou ceremony, why do you need to see it so grand, what a child grabs, it can't represent the future is what the future is.

It was also at this time that a strange scene appeared for everyone, and Li Chengbo turned his head to look at Li Rupei.

One-year-old Li Chengbo didn't grab things directly, but looked at his father.

Li Rupei was very surprised, nodded slightly, and looked at the seal.

Li Chengbo followed Li Rupei's eyes, looked at the seal, and then slowly crawled towards the seal, stretched out his right hand, grabbed the seal, and turned his head to Li Rupei and smiled.

Cui Hanlei, who was too nervous, couldn't help crying.

Li Chengbo saw his mother crying, he was a little overwhelmed, and he opened his mouth to cry, but he still held the seal tightly in his hand.

Li Rupei hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Li Chengbo, who was about to open his mouth to cry, left quietly, raised the seal in his hand, and handed it to Li Rupei.

"This child is not simple, and he will definitely have a different future in the future."

Cui Anqian finally spoke, as an elder, his words have an extraordinary meaning, everyone can hear it, after all, Li Rupei is not just a woman, and he will not have only one son in the future, but this time he grabbed Zhou Li, this time Cui Anqian's evaluation has completely determined Li Chengbo's future.

Liang stepped forward and took Li Chengbo from Li Rupei's arms, at this time, Li Rupei and Cui Anqian were going to the front yard to greet the guests, and the banquet was about to start immediately.

The news about Li Chengbo's arrest of Zhou quickly spread, and there was a lot of discussion outside, but the most concentrated discussion was that Li Chengbo was able to inherit his father's business, and the future was unusual.

This time the grasp of Zhou made the young Li Chengbo the focus of everyone's attention, and of course, Cui Hanlei's position was more stable.

Li Rupei didn't care much about catching Zhou, but he was still very surprised that Li Chengbo, who was only one year old, was able to look at him and grab the seal, could it be said that this crossing can also be inherited, Li Chengbo paid attention to his father's feelings, and grabbed the seal with such an instinct, although Li Chengbo's heart is not necessarily really like the seal.

Such a character, in the end, sometimes good and sometimes bad, Li Rupei will not draw conclusions, but in the dark, he really feels that the efforts he has made will definitely have extraordinary results, maybe his son can better inherit and carry forward. (To be continued......)
