Lan Yi was frightened and welcomed Wang Chengde, who was carrying three carriage gifts, and Zheng smiled very happily, and his steps were extremely brisk to bring in one thing after another for Lan Yi and Gua'er. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info first painted money, gold and silver money, and then miscellaneous fruits, color segments, pearls, and horn food, these are all gifts that should be prepared by the foreign family when the daughter gives birth to a full moon.

Then, there is a red thread several feet long, and a sandalwood inlaid silver basin! This large and delicate silver-inlaid basin immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the house.

This basin is carved from sandalwood, in the shape of a watercres, and it is inlaid with a copper basin, and the soil is inlaid with silver, which is common for people to wash their children, and it is not surprising. What is surprising is the carving on this wooden basin. On the front, a jubilant baby is carved, with its head sticking out of the rim and chubby arms around the silver basin. All around, then the ring carved water waves, roll up to the edge of the basin, there are four carp in relief on it, the largest one occupies one side, is the fish body, fish tail, dragon head. The dragon's head is raised upward, and the dragon's whiskers are slightly lowered, as if there is a potential of Tengda Nine Heavens, and the fish and dragon change.

Everyone knew at a glance that this washbasin means that the children who bathe in this basin will surely leap into the dragon gate and soar in the future. Such a whimsical idea and such an ingenious carving skill are all impressive.

"Mother, this pot of ......" Lan Yi asked cautiously, once again glad that her father could come to Beigou Village from Meixian safely.

Zheng Shi also liked this pot very much, the smile in the corner of his eyes was a little more real, and his waist was straightened, "Naturally, it is used for washing children in the full moon." ”

"Mother, this pot is too beautiful." Lan Yi touched the wood carving on the basin and marveled, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, if he was not a royal dragon, would he commit any taboos.

Wang Chengde saw that his daughter liked it, and he was as happy as he ate honey, "This is your second brother's idea, he paints, and my father finds a craftsman to make it, and Gua'er and his younger siblings in the future use this basin to wash their children." ”

When Lan Yi heard that it was made by Wang Tianzhi, the uneasiness in her heart immediately disappeared, and she thanked her father with a smile. Then came a lively and talking. Because there were so many guests, the noon banquet filled the houses and courtyards of the three courtyards of the East and West Middle Schools, and the same kind of food was sent from the Qingshan Inn like flowing water for the guests to enjoy. On the table, Zhou Weiji's "specialty" - sweet potatoes is naturally indispensable, which made everyone lose their eyes.

Sweet potato, with its yield of more than 4,000 catties per mu, has caused an uproar in Huangxian, Dengzhou and even Beijing. The holy decree of the Holy Lord to commend Liu Guogeng, Lan Yi and Xiaoqi has been issued, and another decree is to try to plant sweet potatoes in various places in Dengzhou this year, and if successful, it will be promoted to the whole country.

In addition to the cuttings sweet potatoes that were taken away by Liu Guogen, the remaining sweet potatoes in the hands of Lan Yi and Xiao Qi were sold at sky-high prices! The major restaurants and restaurants in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all coming to the door, and they are begging for potatoes. Whether there are shredded sweet potatoes in the store has become one of the latest important criteria to measure whether a restaurant is high-grade.

Lan Yi selected major restaurants that have a cooperative relationship with Tsingshan Shangji in the sale of peony seed oil, and supplied a batch of sweet potatoes at one time in a limited quantity, consolidating the cooperative relationship between the two sides.

Because the sweet potatoes supplied to the restaurants are only 100 catties, in order to maximize the profits, the restaurants naturally blow the sweet potatoes into the sky, and the price is also very different. This sweet potato, which is comparable to the price of gold, is naturally not something that ordinary people can eat, and even many official wives present have only heard of its name.

When they came to participate in the full moon ceremony today, everyone wondered that the main family might take out a few sweet potatoes to open everyone's eyes. But who would have thought that Zhou Weiji would be very generous, and there was a plate full of silk-drawn sweet potatoes on every table!

After the amazement, all the guests in the courtyard stood up and stretched out their chopsticks, and invariably went to the sweet potato fries placed in the middle of the table.

Sweet potato fries dipped in warm water and long strings of sugar are put in their mouths, and everyone tastes them carefully. There are people who like this taste and those who don't like it, but as long as you think about its price, you are extremely satisfied. Therefore, after returning this time, everyone can boast, "We are also people who have eaten sweet potatoes that exceed the price of gold." ”

After a full meal, the washing ceremony will officially begin.

Zheng's, Jia's, Tuesday's wife Wang and Zhou Yue'e set up incense cases in the hall to worship more than a dozen gods such as Qiongxiao Niangniang, Giving Birth to Niangniang, Sending Sons Niangniang, Beanrash Niangniang, etc., the incense burner is full of millet, which is used for incense ash and incense, and the four people enter the inner room after burning incense and worshipping, and worship the statues of Kang Gong and Kang Mother on the kang head of Lan Yi's bedroom, and kowtow on incense. Then, the washbasin is placed on the kang and the fragrant soup of the washer is poured in. After Zheng and Wang stirred the pot with gold and silver hairpins, everyone began to add pots in order.

The elders in the village, most of the pots are made of onions and garlic, longan, chestnuts, red dates, etc., and Jia Shi watched with a smile and a smile on the side, and every time someone added a pot, he said an auspicious word. Those who add chestnuts and jujubes will say "early children"; If you add longan, you will say "longan longan, even three yuan"; He who adds gold will say, "Wealth is boundless"; Whoever adds silver will say, "Live a long life"...... The guests, especially the women in the village, were all smiling.

The wives of the officials who came, most of them used small gold ingots, Wang's, Chen's and Liu's, and they also added gold ingots, which was Zhou Yue'e, who was strapped for money, and also added a small golden bean, Xia Wan and Zheng's were small golden chickens carved by Seiko. Lan Yi thanked everyone with a smile, and thought in her heart, how many bacteria are on these things, and can such a water temperature kill the bacteria......

The brocade quilt on Gua'er's body and a small new dress were carefully taken off by Lan Yi, and Zheng carefully held up Gua'er, who was completely out of state, and slowly put it into the washbasin. When the melon encountered the water, she was frightened and cried, crying loudly, and the women in the house and Zhou Weiji and others outside the house were all full of joy when they heard it. Because, the cry of washing the child is called "ringing the basin", and the louder the crying, the more blessed the baby is.

Zheng held it, and Jia quickly and carefully washed the melon in the basin, while washing, he said a set of auspicious words in a word, but at this time Lan Yi couldn't listen to what she was saying at all, she felt sorry for the melon in the basin, and she couldn't wait to fish him out immediately and hold him in her arms to comfort him.

Yes, after washing the child, Lan Yi hurriedly took the melon, and didn't give him any small clothes to wear, so he held it in his arms and shook it gently. After washing the child, everyone slowly dispersed, Lan Yi and Xia Wan made an appointment to see each other again in a few days, so they did not go out of the house, and after breastfeeding Gua'er, they held him in their arms and fell asleep.

Zhou Weiji went back to the house and saw the mother and son sleeping in each other's arms, and there was only endless tenderness in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, this kind of gentleness came to night, or became angry.
