The eighth day of the first lunar month is Gu Yunji's sixteenth birthday.

Early in the morning, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Yunqiao, who was wrapped in edelweiss and as pretty and lovely as a jade ball, appear in front of him: "Brother, birthday Jile!" ”

As he spoke, Gu Yunqiao smiled and held a bowl of steaming noodles: "This is the longevity noodles I made myself, brother try it?" ”

Seeing Gu Yunqiao's nose red from the cold, Gu Yunji's heart was soft, she took the noodles, reached out and rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "Thank you Qiaoqiao." ”

Sensing Gu Yunji's movements, Gu Yunqiao turned his head and wanted to hide, but the other party held down his head and rubbed it more and more vigorously. After carefully making a morning hair sample, it was messed up by Gu Yunji.

Gu Yunqiao covered his hair with both hands and glared at him: "Brother! I've grown up, don't you use this kind of trick to treat children to me anymore! ”

is only twelve years old, and he is clearly a child. Gu Yunji disagreed, and responded perfunctorily: "Okay, good, Qiaoqiao has grown up, and she is a big girl." But no matter how old you are, you are younger than me, and you are still a child in front of your brother, so what's wrong with me rubbing my head? ”

Seeing that Gu Yunqiao was about to be displeased, he hurriedly picked up a large mouthful of noodles and put it into his mouth, exclaiming: "Well-our Qiaoqiao is really good at craftsmanship, this noodle looks light and light, and it tastes so good!" It's so hard to swallow the bowl all! ”

Seeing Gu Yunji eating happily, Gu Yunqiao turned from anger to joy, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "It's good if my brother likes it." ”

"It's strange why Ji'er hasn't come to breakfast yet, it turns out that Qiaoqiao is so caring, and she has already made longevity noodles for her brother." Gu Kaizhen and Mrs. Wang walked over with smiles on their faces, and when they saw the harmony of the children in the family, they were also relieved from the bottom of their hearts as elders.

"Ji'er, today is your sixteenth birthday, and my mother ordered someone to cut a few new clothes for you." As she spoke, Mrs. Wang turned around and beckoned to the maidservant behind her, "Hurry up, bring it over, let us have a look." ”

Mrs. Wang picked up a piece of clothing and shook it open, compared it with Gu Yunji, and looked satisfied: "Well, Ji'er has grown up now, and people have also grown up, and now she matches this dress, look, how handsome!" Spiritual and fit, what a handsome young man! ”

Gu Yunji took a look at the clothes and found that the workmanship and fabrics were all extraordinary, and just looking at it, he felt that he had a noble atmosphere, which was too much better than his ordinary clothes in the past. Sure enough, as long as he is a little up-and-coming and shows outstanding ability and talent, he can easily get the attention and attention of his family.

He ordered someone to put away his clothes, and smiled and saluted Mrs. Wang: "Thank you, mother." ”

Gu Kaizhen also stepped forward, took out a pair of excellent four treasures of the study, and said, "I don't know what you like for my father, I'm afraid you don't like the gifts you give." After thinking about it, I still think it is most appropriate to give you writing utensils. I wish Ji'er a good birthday, and I wish you to make progress in your studies and win the championship in the scientific examination field! ”

Gu Yunji respectfully took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, father." My parents were born and raised by me, which is a great kindness, and I don't have to give anything. Today's birthday gift is to love me, how can I not be grateful? No matter what the father and mother give, the son likes it. ”

Gu Kaizhen was very embarrassed by his words, watching his cowardly and shrinking son grow into such a sensible appearance as he is now, Gu Kaizhen was both moved and relieved, his eyes were already a little moist, and he stretched out his hand and couldn't stop caressing Gu Yunji's shoulder:

"Let's Ji'er, now that we have really grown up, we know how to be grateful, and we don't have to worry about our father anymore......"

While talking, Gu Yunxiao and Gu Yunlin also came.

Zheng Xiuyun was seven months pregnant, her body was very heavy, and she had some difficulty walking, but fortunately, Gu Yunxiao supported her waist throughout the whole process, her movements were gentle and careful, and she walked slowly step by step.

Seeing this, Gu Yunji hurriedly moved a chair for Zheng Xiuyun to sit down: "Sister-in-law now that she has a body, she should rest and sit more, toss like this, don't be tired of sister-in-law." ”

"It's okay, the doctor said, it's good for the child to walk around occasionally." Zheng Xiuyun gasped slightly, raised her head and said with a smile, "What's more, today is the third brother's birthday, and I should have come to tell you about the birthday Jile." ”

Zheng Xiuyun is already beautiful and lovely, but now she is pregnant, and her body is shrouded in a layer of soft maternal brilliance, and her temperament is very gentle. Gu Yunxiao stood quietly beside Zheng Xiuyun, his eyes never left her, he straightened her cuffs for a while, and pulled up the broken hair around her ears for a while, looking like a virtuous and exemplary husband.

Gu Yunji looked at Gu Yunxiao's appearance in his eyes, and sighed that it was really different to become a family and have a family. Gu Yunxiao's eyebrows and eyes are now full of gentle smiles, as if his heart has been filled with his wife and children, and he no longer has the decadent atmosphere of trying to fall off the list.

At this time, Mrs. Wang's mother walked in briskly from outside, her mouth opened, as if she had something to say, but feeling the happy atmosphere of the room, she was a little hesitant and didn't know how to speak.

Catching a glimpse of her appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Mrs. Wang frowned, and her tone was a little impatient: "If you have something to say, you can say it, and if you don't say it, go out." ”

Mother Zhao glanced up at a few people in the room, stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Wang and Gu Kaizhen, and said, "Master, madam, Cui'er...... Cui'er gave birth to a boy, and the mother and son are safe. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly froze.

Last year, the matter between Gu Yunlin and Cui'er caused a stir in the entire Gu Mansion, and it almost spread out and ruined the reputation of the Gu family. Although it was handled properly in the end, no one in the Gu family had a good impression of this Cui'er, and they didn't want to hear about her, which is why Fang Cai's mother was so entangled, she was afraid that speaking out at this time would ruin the interest of the masters.

After a while, Mrs. Wang said coldly: "If you give birth, you will give birth, bring the child back, you should ask the nurse to invite the nurse, and you can prepare whatever you want, do you also need me to teach you?" ”

"Yes, ma'am." Mother Zhao hurriedly responded, and then prepared to go out.

"Wait." At this time, Gu Kaizhen stopped her, "Although this child's biological mother and background are not glorious, after all, it is the bloodline of my Gu family, and it is a man, so I still have to have a name to facilitate the family tree." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Yunxiao and his wife intentionally or unintentionally, and said slowly: "If you follow the genealogy, it is the Zhaozi generation, from the side of the golden character, this is also the eldest grandson of our family, just according to what was said in advance, it is called Gu Zhaoqin." ”

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale suddenly, and she hurriedly persuaded: "Master, it's not appropriate." The word Qin was decided early on, although this child is indeed the first of the grandchildren, but if you really want to talk about the grandchildren of the Gu family, it naturally has to be the child in Xiuyun's belly to be the most qualified to use this as a name. A child who has sex with you, I'm afraid it's not worthy, right? ”

Hearing this, Gu Kaizhen sighed, how could he not know that this was inappropriate. But he's the patriarch, so he has to put on a show first, and then talk about whether it's okay or not. Now that Mrs. Wang has opened her mouth to persuade her, he has changed her words in a good way: "That's what you said, then change the word." ”

As he spoke, Gu Kaizhen looked at Gu Yunlin in the corner: "Second child, you are his biological father, then you come and give him a name." ”

Gu Yunlin rolled his eyes unabashedly, and said with some disgust: "I won't take it!" I didn't want to give birth to him at the beginning, but now I am called a father, why? If you really want me to take it, then Gu Zhaotong and Gu Zhaotie! I can't think of any good words anyway! ”

"You!" Gu Kaizhen was so angry with him that he almost didn't come up, and his face was flushed.

"Father." Gu Yunji spoke out at the right time, drawing everyone's attention to himself, "Why don't I come and name my little nephew?" ”

Feeling the doubts and exploration in the eyes of the people around him, he smiled slightly: "This child was born on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and he was born on the same day as me, which can be regarded as fate." Why don't you just call it - Gu Zhaoming? ”

"The inscription, the words engraved on the utensils. Some of the inscriptions are to praise merit, some are to affirm the precepts, and when they are names, they also have the meaning of talent, which is also a good word. ”

There is another layer of implication, Gu Yunji did not say it. That is, the inscription can also be remembered by the combination of words, and the table will never be forgotten. I hope he can take his parents as a warning, not be self-contemptuous, work hard, and be a good person with a lot of promise and responsibility.

Gu Kaizhen was silent for a moment, and then finalized it: "Okay, it's called Gu Zhaoming." ”

He looked around majestically, half reminding and half warning: "Gu Zhaoming is the son of the second eldest, my grandson, and he has the blood of my Gu family in his body. You have to have everything you should have, no one should think about treating him harshly, let alone thinking about insulting him, but you understand? ”

Everyone bowed their heads and responded in unison: "Understood." ”
