Chapter 3 The Zhao family has a girl who has just grown up

Today is a big day, the Zhao family put on a birthday banquet for the daughter, invited relatives and friends to gather, and for a time the top wealthy families in the federation sent their children to congratulate them, and its grandeur even exceeded the first two Zhao family's first birthday banquet.

In fact, the banquet between the wealthy families is more of a form of gathering to negotiate the exchange of interests, and most of the banquets on the surface are just a gimmick.

At this time, the spacious banquet hall was filled with drums and laughter. Murong Yan'er, the eldest lady of the Zhao family, held her baby daughter and showed off back and forth among a group of noble ladies, turning the hearts of a group of noble ladies straight to the bottom of her eyes, but she still pretended to have a flattering and envious expression on her face.

The hearts of all the noble ladies were full of vinegar, and there were three points because Mrs. Zhao gave birth to a beautiful daughter, and she didn't have to guess that she would grow into a disaster with her mother in the future. There are even seven points because they heard an unconfirmed shocking news not long ago, that is, this daughter of the Zhao family actually wants to take her mother's surname, that is, her compound surname Murong, and her single name is a phoenix. No one knows what kind of means this Mrs. Zhao used to make the thin Zhao family make such a decision. But the only thing that is certain is that this Mrs. Zhao is definitely favored in the Zhao family.

Just when the banquet is about to enter the high. At the time of the tide, suddenly there was a commotion outside the hall, and everyone looked up and suddenly fell silent, and the originally noisy banquet hall suddenly became audible.

I saw that the golden door had been opened, and an old man with crane hair and a childish face slowly walked in. I saw that this old man was dressed in fairy bones, with slender white eyebrows, three-foot beard, eyes like stars, and a strange face, and he stepped out of the center of the hall in one step, standing like a fairy descending to look down on all beings, no one in the hall dared to look at him, and bowed his head and bowed. No one noticed that the sleeping baby girl in Mrs. Zhao's arms quietly opened her eyes, and then closed her eyes with a hint of inexplicable light, and then shrank her little body into her mother's arms.

The old lady of the Zhao family hurriedly took a few steps forward despite the support of the servant, bowed down and asked in a trembling tone, "Ancestor, why did you get out of the mountain?" ”

The ancestor of the Zhao family snorted lightly, "Get out of the way!" The old lady hurriedly got out of the way, and the ancestor of the Zhao family walked to the main seat and sat down, and then said in a deep voice, "Where is Zhao Tian?" ”

Zhao Tian trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly came out of the column and bowed down and said, "Ancestor, the kid is here." ”

"What about your daughter? Bring it to the old man and take a look. The ancestor of the Zhao family said lightly.

Murong Yan'er trembled when she heard this, and her face instantly turned pale. Zhao Tian walked up to his wife expressionlessly, ignoring his wife's pleading look, and hugged his daughter to the ancestor of the Zhao family. Seeing her daughter being taken away, Murong Yan'er collapsed on the ground almost in despair.

The ancestor of the Zhao family stroked his long beard, raised his hand to take the baby girl and looked at it carefully, this is unbelievable, the ancestor of the Zhao family was surprised in his heart, and blurted out "It's obviously charming and natural, but it's a big head, is this ......" The ancestor of the Zhao family immediately realized that he had lost his words, and then the tone of his words changed, and he laughed out loud, "It's really my Zhao family's seed, hahaha!" Seeing the ancestor of the Zhao family laughing heartily, the solemn atmosphere in the hall was also relieved. For a while, flattery was endless.

"Have you ever chosen a name?" The ancestor of the Zhao family asked casually, and this question immediately caused the atmosphere in the hall to fall to freezing point again.

Zhao Tian trembled, "Go back to the ancestors, take it." ”

"What's the name?" The ancestor of the Zhao family looked directly at Zhao Tian and said in a deep voice.

"The milk name is Feng'er, and the single name is a phoenix!" Under the terrifying coercion of the ancestor of the Zhao family, Zhao Tian gritted his teeth almost with all his strength and said, "Grandson has decided that Feng'er will take her mother's surname, and her full name will ...... Murong Feng! After Zhao Tian finished speaking, he felt as if his whole body was in collapse, so he closed his eyes and waited for the coming storm. And Mrs. Zhao, who was paralyzed on the ground, was already in tears.

When the ancestor of the Zhao family saw that Zhao Tian looked like he was going to kill and listen to him, he nodded secretly in his heart, he had the backbone and responsibility, and he could face himself and bear all the responsibility, and he really deserved to be the descendant of my Zhao family. However, the crime of deceiving the clan elders and violating the clan rules is not so easy to expose.

Everyone in the hall lowered their heads and waited for the storm to come, but after suffering for a long time, they didn't hear any roaring sounds, and many people secretly looked up, and suddenly their faces were stunned on the spot.

I saw that the baby girl in the arms of the ancestor of the Zhao family woke up at some point, and opened a pair of bright eyes that were staring at the old man, and a pink and tender little hand was still dragging the old man's palate under a handful of whiskers and kept pulling down, grinning the old man's headache, but he didn't dare to be angry, for fear of scaring the little baby in his arms, he could only gently pull his beard and pull back and forth with his great-granddaughter, but the corners of his eyebrows couldn't hide a loving smile.

When Zhao Tian saw this happy scene, he suddenly felt like he had been amnestied, and his legs swayed softly under the agitation of the mood, and he almost didn't stand firm.

The anger of the ancestor of the Zhao family when he came was teased by his great-granddaughter suddenly dissipated into invisibility, looking at the immature smile of his great-granddaughter, he sighed in his heart, and said lightly, "Feng'er's name is good, let's call it a name in the future." ”

Zhao Tian and Murong Yan'er's faces were immediately filled with ecstasy, the old ancestor's words were tantamount to acquiescing to Feng'er taking his mother's surname, and the two of them naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed in their hearts, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. The old man in front of him was a master who could make the entire federation shake three times by stomping his feet, so they couldn't help but be nervous.

The ancestor of the Zhao family suddenly changed his tone, and said without a beak, "But when Feng'er grows up in the future, if you look at that male baby, let the other party join our family." If you give birth to a male baby in the future, you will follow our surname Zhao, and if you give birth to a female baby, you can follow your mother's surname or your husband's surname. ”

The whole hall can be heard, the words of the ancestor of the Zhao family are equivalent to setting the girl in his arms for life, no one can change it, and no one dares to disobey his decision. And this sentence is equivalent to sealing the possibility of the Zhao family and other wealthy families marrying their sons and daughters, after all, no big family will add their own eldest grandchildren to other people's families.

There are also people who are worried and some people are happy, and the joy is naturally those aunts and wives who are in the middle of the house, no one thought that a road to the sky would be simply placed in front of them. Suddenly, many of the people in the crowd who had children but were not welcomed at home looked at the baby girl in the arms of the ancestor of the Zhao family, and their eyes were full of heat!

Zhao Tian breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at his wife, and saw that she touched her tears but couldn't hide her happy smile, understanding that this was the bottom line of the ancestors, and it was also the best result.

"Yes, ancestor, Tian'er will do it."

The ancestor of the Zhao family stretched out his fingers and kept teasing the baby girl with her teeth and claws, letting out a series of hearty laughs, and then asked Zhao Tian, "Have you ever drawn lots?" ”

"I haven't returned to the old ancestor yet, why don't you preside over Feng'er's lot-drawing ceremony, the old ancestor?" Zhao Tian waited on the side and said respectfully.

"That's great!" The ancestor of the Zhao family stroked his beard and smiled.

Zhao Tian waved his hand, and immediately several servants brought a large round table and placed it in the middle of the hall, then spread a thick cushion, covered it with a splendid cloth, and put it on the turntable, and then dozens of maids each walked out with a pair of trays, and each tray was placed with a treasure with special significance.

The ancestors of the Zhao family browsed by, kept picking and choosing, the eight things of qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were naturally indispensable, and the selected objects were immediately carefully placed on the table by Zhao Tian, and the objects that could be taken out by the Zhao family to grab lots were naturally treasures that were hard to find, and every time Zhao Tian placed a piece, it would attract a burst of exclamations, true or false, and then the crowd of experts who knew the treasures tried to brag about it and caused more exclamations. In fact, this is the case in every family, but the treasures that the Zhao family took out this time seem to be a little too much, and the tabletop that is nearly a zhang wide is almost full.

"Ancestor, enough is enough, it's almost impossible to put it on the table!" Zhao Tian was sweating profusely.

The ancestor of the Zhao family retracted his gaze unsatisfactorily, and then took Xiao Feng'er to the table, gently put her on the turntable in the center of the table, and waited until the turntable slowly rotated and then grabbed a treasure by herself, and then deduced the baby's future ambitions!

This is a unique Chinese ceremony, which is held by relatives and friends when children are one year old. Even a top wealthy family like the Zhao family will not be an exception!

As the turntable turned slightly, everyone saw that the female doll sitting in the middle of the table full of treasures did not stretch out her hand, except for staring around with bright eyes. Everyone was in a hurry, and they hated to give up their lives to replace them.

Suddenly, the girl moved, her hands were pressed on the turntable trembling and she was about to stand up, the ancestor of the Zhao family was startled, and hurriedly stopped the gently rotating turntable to prevent the girl from falling.

Then everyone saw the female doll staggering towards the ancestor of the Zhao family step by step, with a pair of small hands shaking constantly, and babbling in her mouth.

Everyone was amazed when they saw it, and the ancestor of the Zhao family hurriedly swept away the treasure under the girl's feet, so as not to trip the little baby. The female doll staggered to the ancestor of the Zhao family, and then stretched out her little hand to scratch the ancestor's waist, and everyone was stunned!

The ancestor of the Zhao family was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed, and when he lifted the placket of his robe, everyone saw that the jade belt around the ancestor's waist was pinned with a pole...... Metal hilt!

……………………

At the end of the song, the dispersed guests were still laughing and talking about what they saw and heard tonight, especially the amazing choice made by the little princess of the Zhao family when she drew lots, which became a joke among the wealthy families of the Federation for a while.

A young lady was indifferent to the table full of rare treasures, but instead chose a murderous weapon. Such a surprising performance naturally caused a fire of gossip among countless people.

Over time, rumors about the little princess of the Zhao family not loving women's clothes and loving clothes have also spread among wealthy families. However, the Zhao family is secretive about all the rumors, and no one has ever come forward to clarify.

However, with the passage of time, the rumors about the little princess of the Zhao family have gradually faded out of people's field of vision, and few people will even remember that the Zhao family has such a little princess, mainly because this little princess has never appeared in any public place, except for a few old servants in the family, almost no one has seen the appearance of the little princess.

The years have passed like a white horse, and a full fourteen years have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the backyard of the Zhao family, there is a forbidden place that is only in the legend among the servants, and it is said that the forbidden place is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth, and there are fairies who stay in the world from time to time. There is also a legend that this forbidden place is a fierce place, and whenever the moon shines brightly, there will be the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling, and even mixed with the roar of swords.

In fact, the reason why there are so many rumors is because except for the head of the family, the lady and the two young masters, and a few old servants, all idle people are not allowed to approach, and even if the head of the family and the young master enter, they must be notified in advance.

It should be too mysterious to give birth to countless absurd rumors.

August is a hot summer, but the evenings are breezy and pleasant.

The courtyard consists of lotus ponds, willow branches, stone pavilions, and guqins to form a beautiful picture. But it's a pity that a burst of sword light and sword shadow shattered this beautiful scenery under the moon.

I saw a beautiful girl in a white gauze skirt dancing alone under the moon, the translucent blade refracted the cold sword, and the deadly lotus flowers bloomed under the bright moon.

After a set of sword moves, the beautiful girl wheezed slightly and then turned around and fluttered again, her body was erratic, and the sword blade bloomed with sword flowers that were endless, seemingly blooming but hiding deadly lethality. By the time she exhausted her strength, the beautiful girl was already drenched in sweat.

Looking at his slender wrist, Biao Zi sighed helplessly, this body is too delicate, even after more than ten years of careful work, it is still difficult to display the three-point sword intent of his previous life.

Although a girl in the prime of cardamom has cultivated to a terrifying strength comparable to that of a swordsman, and it is definitely a shocking thing to spread it, Biaozi still feels that she is still too weak now. And being weak means having no voice.

Fourteen years ago, at his first birthday banquet, Grandpa Tai's peerless demeanor left a deep impact on him, which kind of word, undeniable domineering is the goal she strives for every day of hard work.

The reason why she tortured herself so much was because she had memories of two lifetimes. Unforgettable past life, but brought great distress to this life, if this life is also a man's body, maybe there will not be much trouble, but in this life reincarnated into the body of a daughter, it is inevitable to encounter a lot of trouble, and as she grows up year by year, many things have also reached an unavoidable situation.

For example, the uninvited 'mysterious female elder' a year ago

Because of this, she often can't help but lament why that bowl of Meng Po soup doesn't work? It would be great if she could completely forget the memories of her previous life, it would be rare to devote herself to a rich family in this life, and she was spoiled by her elders, loved by her father and mother, and loved by her brother, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to set thousands of favors as one. But she was entangled in the memories of her past life and couldn't let go of her heart and enjoy all this with a normal daughter's heart.

And the worst of the troubles will follow......
