Chapter 196: Warmly celebrate "Xiaosheng", grasp the week and grasp the future!
In the early morning and morning hours when the dew shimmers. (Note: Today's 7 to 9 o'clock.) )
Under Zhang Luo, who was in charge of Ling'er, the palace maids and internal eunuchs were busy lively, and everyone ran to the east and west, buying this and that, and it took a whole hour to prepare the things for the week.
After getting up early, Concubine Wen glanced at the door of the dormitory, but fortunately, there were a lot of apples, and they were undamaged. At the breakfast table, I couldn't help but say to my sisters: "Sisters, the rats in the palace are so righteous." ”
"How so?" The beauties were amazed and looked at her together in bewilderment.
"There are a lot of decorations on the door of each dormitory, which shows that these animals are quite eye-catching."
"Haha, that's because of the hard work of the gentry every night that scared off the rats who secretly made trouble, and they generally only indulged in the imperial garden." The eighth sister explained.
"Not really, I have seen the inner prisons finally succeed in exterminating the rats under the reprimand of the vertical knife." Qianfan corrected.
"Really? Careless sister, I, why don't I know, tell me, good sister. Concubine Wen was very curious and begged.
"They found a special wooden bucket, sprinkled a layer of straw on the surface of the water, made sure to cover the water surface, and put some food on the straw that the rats loved to eat, and then put a few planks on the bucket to match them, and when the rats climbed up the planks and saw the food in the bucket, they couldn't wait to jump down, and before they could eat it, they were drowned alive." Qianfan told the story.
"God, as a mouse, it's too difficult, not only to survive, but also to fight wits and courage with humans, fortunately everyone is not a mouse." Concubine Wen was in a complicated mood and sighed.
"Dead hoof, let's talk crazy again, fortunately Banzai is not here, otherwise, I can't spare you." Bookbutterfly teased.
"Thank you two sisters, you have learned a lesson, and my sister has taken it to heart."
"I hope I hope that I will see the after-effects." Qianfan kindly reminded.
"Oh, no wonder, I rarely see rats in the palace, it turns out that this quiet harem and the great palace are the smart and clever labor of the hard-working attendants, it's not easy, it's not easy, admire and admire! Everything in the world has cause and effect, and it takes all effort to get it! Concubine Wen said.
"Child, little birthday star, today's queen mother must feed you at every meal, come, eat an egg, your eyes will definitely look like it, the blue eyes are clear, and the whites of your eyes are clear." Fuqing understood, she smiled, and her smile was so pure and bright.
Concubine Wen rode Fuqing on her shoulder, visited the sisters again one by one, and once again introduced the good intentions of the aunts to the children and expressed her gratitude.
She hugged the child, let her smell the birthday apple, and said, "Child, I wish you a fast growth and peace!" Health is yours! ”
Entering the dormitory again, picking up the divided durian, and letting her sniff it, Fuqing shrugged her nose and frowned, Concubine Wen said happily: "Silly child, even if you are young, you know the strange taste of durian, you don't know that this is for my mother to keep you, 'durian', 'nostalgia'." ”
On this day, the palace maids and inner eunuchs were all dressed very brightly, at least very clean, and they also looked forward to the great joy in the palace.
The "Catch the Week" ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner. Fuqing, who was wearing new clothes, hats, and new shoes and socks, sat on Concubine Wen's knees, unable to stop the joy on the child's face, and couldn't hide the happiness of the little birthday star!
It's time to enter the prime, and the auspicious time has arrived! Ling'er reminded.
Concubine Wen took the child and began to worship the ancestors, and the mother and son solemnly bowed and said: "The ancestors of great mercy and compassion and the empress dowager of great wisdom and courage, your virtuous grandson Fuqing has reached the age of one, pray for her to be blessed with inexhaustible blessings, give magical powers, and bless the virtuous grandson to grow up healthily, and there will be no more troubles!" ”
In a relatively spacious room, two square tables are placed side by side in the middle, which are covered with festive colored cotton cloth and printed with the pattern of Magu's dedication, and the "grasping the week" ceremony is carried out in an orderly manner.
There are all kinds of items to grasp Zhou Le, including books, official seals, needles and threads, sword scabbards, etc., which are placed at one end of the table in a semi-arc. Concubine Wen brought the baby and put it at the other end of the table. Fuqing, who was wearing new clothes, new hats and new shoes and socks, sat intimately on Concubine Wen's knees, unable to stop the joy on the child's face, and couldn't hide the happiness of the little birthday star!
"Grasp the week and grasp the future, Fuqing will make a golden hand!" Ling'er now made up a sentence.
Concubine Wen gently sent the child to the table of the Eight Immortals, and she quickly and decisively grabbed a thin copy of the Book of Songs.
"Oh my God! Oh, my God! The little princess is so smart that she actually grabbed a book first, and there is really her father and queen mother, and her princess and her royal highness. "The palace maids and inner eunuchs have already surrounded the Zhou table so that the water and wind cannot blow in, and many people's faces seem to have changed from long faces to round faces! The admiration came one after another.
Concubine Wen couldn't help but kiss the child, and Tao Ran said: "Qing'er, it is indeed an elf made of the blood of the dragon spirit and phoenix of the father and queen mother." Come, go on, grab another one. ”
"Grab a golden job bowl in Zhou, Fuqing Gong will see it clearly!" Ling'er Shi Yi said.
"Yayang, Qingqing, catch that, Zhou Er, who is made of white jade." Concubine Wen reminded. Sure enough, Fuqing grabbed a small seal. The surroundings were boiling again, and the beauties followed the eighth sister and praised together: "Little princess, she actually has golden hands and jade hands, and she can be said to be able to grasp and control the left coupon in the future, Wen Ke is a high-ranking official, and the seal is in hand; Wu Ke is a general and guards the border. The little princess will enjoy the grace of heaven and the virtue of heaven, and her official fortune will be prosperous. ”
"Since you can write and martial arts, grab a long sword and show it to the beautiful girls." Le Qiao coaxed and said.
"Child, where is the clothes of the queen mother's sword, do you know?" Concubine Wen didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so she said to the princess softly.
So, Fuqing crawled over again, took the scabbard he had already known, and proudly handed it to Concubine Wen, and everyone sent another round of cheers.
"Don't dance with knives and guns anymore, and don't be afraid of scaring the princess, besides, if you treat the little princess like this again, long live it will be distressing." Feilan pondered: This queen, I am afraid it is inappropriate to raise children as adults, Zhengsedao.
After that, she had already pulled off the shiny treasure hairpin, put it in the center of the table, and said softly: "Fuqing, don't pay attention to your mother, little girl, you should be like a little girl, come, take this hairpin, and play." She had already smoothed the tip of Baochai and would not prick the child's tender hand again.
Seeing this, all the beauties followed suit.
Concubine Wen is usually not very keen on Baochai, gold earrings and other accessories, so she is also negligent in introducing these pink love things to the princess, Fuqing naturally doesn't know whether to catch it or not, she has to look at the queen mother in a daze.
"Qing'er, it's all a family, all the beautiful girls won't harm you, it's okay, the queen mother is here, don't worry about it." Concubine Wen sent an eager look of encouragement to the child.
"Come, child, this is a beautiful ornament in the hair, this beautiful ornament side by side, the queen mother wants you, it symbolizes that this half is born lucky, and the other half is happy and auspicious; This half is you, and the other half is safe and healthy, understand? ”
"Understood, Queen Mother." If there is divine help, Fuqing actually said it with sharp teeth and unambiguous teeth, and all kinds of people present were surprised and admired!
After today's weekly activities, Fuqing got to know the colorful silk threads, light flower needles, and all kinds of headdresses, earrings, and necklaces, Concubine Wen said: "Thank you all the beautiful aunts, after today's learning and learning, you will finally become a qualified girl, otherwise, the queen mother, in the future, you will be trained to be a little chivalrous girl with both civil and military skills, which is enough for you to endure hardships!" ”
(Note: Draw lots, also known as swab, try, draw.) This custom, which has been practiced in Chinese folklore for a long time, is a ritual held at the first birthday of a child to predict his future and temperament, and is a way to celebrate the first birthday anniversary. Its core is the wish for the continuity, smoothness and prosperity of life, reflecting the deep affection of parents for their children, with the nature of family games, and is a kind of faith and custom with human flavor and child-rearing as the pursuit. (Note: Try, the sound is the same as "drunk", interpretation: 1. In ancient times, the baby was called 100 days old or one year old.) 2. Weeks; Anniversary. In addition, the ancient same "睟", moist look. )
