dressed as a scholar

It was almost a new year, and the imperial court had already rested.

Fang Yu sent out a lot of posts, all of them were sent by Hanlin's colleagues, and there were also some familiar officials like Mr. Lin and others.For such a festive event, even if there is no post, others can come to drink and congratulate. The post is mainly a formality, so that people feel polite.

There were quite a lot of officials who came to congratulate, and the Fang Mansion became busy early in the morning, fearing that there were not enough servants and servants at home, Qiao Hezhi invited some cooks and miscellaneous envoys from the restaurant to help with the banquet earlier.

The full moon ceremony is not only a banquet, but also a nest for the child, which means that the newborn baby cannot be moved casually, and can only be moved from one house to another after the full moon, and can be carried out for a walk; Sticking fetal hair, at this time, parents who pay attention to the body, hair and skin, so it is very important to cut their children's hair etiquette.

After Xiao Qingyan finished his salute, Qiao Hezhi hugged him in the garden to welcome the guests. The female relatives who came round surrounded him and teased Xiao Qingyan as much as possible.

Today, the little boy is wearing a red cotton brocade jacket and a fluffy round hat, even the little quilt that wraps the baby is red, Bai Xue is cute, very festive.

Qing Yanwo, who was in the swaddling baby, opened his round eyes and watched the hands of noble ladies passing by his face. He seemed to feel everyone's love and affection, and a bubble came out of his mouth. The amusing female relatives burst into laughter.

"This child is like you, with a pale face."

You Lian came to the banquet today with a rosy face, he is already out of confinement today, he heard that General Xiao would be able to arrive in Beijing before New Year's Eve, he was very happy in his heart, his spirit changed from the past.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." You Lian smiled, "Let me hug the baby too."

Qiao Hezhi smiled and transferred the green salt into You Lian's arms, and You Lian took the child and looked at Qiao Hezhi in surprise: "Ah, this little guy looks small, but he is about the same weight as our little boy. I originally said to bring the child here for a walk, but unfortunately it is snowing heavily today, and I was afraid that the child would catch the cold when he came out, but it is a pity that the two children could not be seen."

"Don't worry, these two little guys were born only about one month apart, and they will definitely be able to meet each other often in the future."

You Lian was very happy, turned his head slightly, and the close maid following behind brought up a brocade box, opened it to reveal a pair of jade locks with red rope, made of mutton fat jade, only the word "green salt" was engraved on the lower left corner of the jade face , the jade is round and gentle, which matches the white and fleshy children very well.

There are so many rich and noble families in Beijing, they love to give collars to their children the most, but not everyone can afford to give them collars.

At first, the young master of the general's mansion held a simple full moon wine, and planned to hold a grand daytime wine after the general returned to Beijing, so Qiao Hezhi still gave the child a pair of Xiaojin Ruyi.

The two families come and go frequently, and even the children's bellybands are made the same, so they don't care about these vain rituals.

This time Fang Yu was entertaining guests in the front hall. He was not a person who likes to socialize. Today, the child was full moon, and the old father was full of joy and talked a lot. It turned out that the guests who came to congratulate him were all praised by him. cheerful.The host is happy, and the guests are also happy. The whole banquet feels like home, and it is very lively.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Fang Yu planned to move to the other side of the dining room, instead of continuing to greet guests at the door, and was about to turn back, but saw a carriage coming to the other side.

He turned around and saw that it was Ji Jin who came, the elder son seemed to have tidied up today, he had inherited his father's good looks, and now he has even better looks.He was slightly puzzled, and wondered if Tong father had told the child that the Fang family was their mansion's staff.

"He Xifang is a pedant."

Fang Yu smiled gently when he heard the sound: "Your Majesty Jin is here today, please come inside."

It doesn't matter for the child to move around, he is currently working in the Shang's study, and the half-hearted teacher is also a teacher. He had glanced at the book of favors earlier, and there were gifts from other royal families on it, so he didn't know that Ji Jing was abrupt.

After Ji Jin made the gift, he gave the gift to Fang Yu and went into the mansion without saying anything else.

"Hey, why is the eldest son of the Sixth Prince here today? It's strange that the Sixth Prince has few human relations."

"Your Majesty is teaching the princes and grandchildren in the study room today, and the prince is also a student among them, which is normal. Your Majesty has always been very strict with respecting teachers for future generations. It seems that some of the princes passed by when the scholar's birthday was celebrated. .”

"As far as I can see, there are only two people here, and the rest should only be present. In the final analysis, these nobles still look down on us humble people, and only the unpopular clan will come and walk."

The tea drinkers looked at today's guests and discussed in a low voice, smiled wryly and shook their heads.

Ji Jin seldom participates in these banquets. Firstly, there are very few people coming and going to post, and secondly, he disdains such human exchanges. When he enters the mansion, he will find a place with few people. A man of courtesy, it's really boring to speak words that can make calluses in his ears, it's better to dance a set of meteor hammers at home.

"My dear son!"

Ji Jin's expression on the people who came to greet him was getting worse and worse. Seeing that someone was coming again, he turned a deaf ear and wanted to hurry up, but he heard again: "Your Majesty, it's me."

Hearing the voice sounded like the husband of Fuguo General's Mansion, he turned his head and saw two smiling husbands standing side by side, one of them was still holding the child, and the red eye-warming swaddle made him Guess it is today's protagonist.

"General Fulang." Ji Jin made a salute, and then called Qiao Hezhi beside him, "Scholar Fulang."

"Your Majesty recognizes me?" Although Fang Yu had already said it, Qiao Hezhi saw Ji Jin for the first time, even without introducing him. With this cold face that Yu Chujing had more than anything else, he could recognize him It was a little surprised who came out, he recognized himself.

Ji Jin didn't explain much, just nodded slightly.He had seen You Lian several times, but now that he was stopped by someone, it was obvious that he couldn't walk away alone.

"My dear son, come and see your pedantic baby lump." Sure enough, after meeting Qiao Hezhi, You Lian smiled and waved to him.

Ji Jin stood where he was, resisting in his heart, but even though there were 1 reluctances in his heart, Fuguo General's Mansion was one of his father's few households in the capital, so he could not be rude, so he walked over out of politeness , symbolically casts its eyes on the swaddled child.

He took a look, looked back, and raised his head to see two outstanding husbands looking at him with smiles, and had to lower his eyelids to look at the child again.

The child's eyes are round, the skin is white and clear, and the flesh seems to grow on both sides of the cheeks, as if two balls of white flour have been kneaded and piled round. Right now, he is gnawing on his own hand that looks like a small bun, half of his hand is wet with saliva.

Ji Jin had never seen such a harmless little guy before, so his gaze softened a little: "What name did you choose?"

"You pedantic said that it was born when it first snowed in the capital, and it was called Qingyan."

Ji Jin nodded.

"Do you want to hug Qingyan, my son? From now on, I have to call you my elder brother."

Ji Jin's pupils shrunk slightly, as if a sentence shocked him.

He thought that if he refused directly, he might hurt the pedant's feelings, but if...he has never hugged a child!

Qiao Hezhi scolded You Lian: "How did you become so naughty, why are you always teasing the prince?"

You Lian said with a smile: "I beg your Majesty to be reticent and have the same disposition as the Sixth Prince. This is not because you want your Majesty to have more contact with children, so that he will be more lively in the future."

As soon as the words fell, the milk doll was stuffed over, Ji Jin took it hastily, the baby in his arms was too soft to the touch, as if it would be deformed if he squeezed hard, his whole body was stiff, he dared not move, like a Ice sculptures squatting holding trays.

Xiao Qingyan blinked her eyes and looked at the person in front of her. She didn't know what a child could tell, but she knew that she was different from the person who was hugging her just now.The big eyes stared at Ji Jin flickeringly, and even Xiangxiang's hand forgot to agree. Suddenly, for no reason, his eyes blinked, his mouth opened wide, and he burst into tears.

Ji Jin's eyes suddenly enlarged, as if he had been struck by lightning suddenly, his already paralyzed face seemed to have a few cracks that were about to break apart, and he looked at Qiao Hezhi at a loss, causing all the female relatives to cover their mouths and laugh Voice.

Seeing the excitement, Fang Yu came over and saw that he was teasing the children. He stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Qingyan and rescued Ji Jin, and comforted Ji Jin with a smile, "Maybe Xiao Qingyan is hungry. It got a little fussy."

But Xiao Qingyan didn't show face to her father, and didn't give Ji Jin a chance to go down the steps. When she returned to her father's arms, she blinked her eyes and immediately stopped crying, and then put the little bun she was holding onto her mouth and gnawed on it. When I woke up, if it weren't for the bright teardrops still hanging from my eyes, it really didn't look like I cried just now.

All the female relatives laughed louder and started joking.

Ji Jin's complexion became even more paralyzed, and he went back without eating two mouthfuls of lunch. It would be safer to use a big knife, no matter how heavy and sharp a cold weapon is, it is much easier to control than a child.

Afterwards, words came out that Prince Jin of the Sixth Prince's Mansion would frighten and cry children with a cold face. For a long time in Beijing, noble family members used Ji Jin to scare disobedient children.

After the full moon banquet, it is the Chinese New Year.

The New Year in the capital is very full of flavor. Since childhood, there have been firecrackers every day, and every night you can see half of the sky when you raise your head.If you are not afraid of the cold on a snowy night, it would be fun to go out to watch the fireworks with a thick cloak and an umbrella. There are countless lanterns in the middle of the night in the capital, which is really lively and beautiful.

After all, the inner city is full of dignitaries, not as lively as the outer city, so Fang Yu took Qiao Hezhi to the outer city to have fun.

"Yuncheng also has fireworks, but it is not as prosperous as the capital city. After all, it is the capital city."

Qiao Hezhi raised his head to see the fireworks all over the sky, his mood was like a flower exploding, but seeing Fang Yu beside him was a little lost in thought, he shook Fang Yu's hand: "Why don't you talk?"

Fang Yu came back to his senses and pulled Qiao Hezhi closer to him: "General Xiao has returned to Beijing safely, and the Sixth Prince's army must have arrived in the northwest. I see the festive and lively fireworks all over the sky, and wonder if I can help The prince did his best."

"It's been many years since the Northwest incident, don't worry."

Fang Yu smiled, and rubbed Qiao Hezhi's black hair: "Forget it, it's hard for Xiu Mu to have such a leisurely time with you, but he still thinks about these complicated things, he should fight."

He tightly clasped Qiao Hezhi's hand, leaned over and whispered in the ear: "It's confinement today, after you have had a good time, let's go back early."

Qiao Hezhi pursed his lips when he heard the words, his ears were a little hot, and he held Fang Yu's hand back: "There are so many people who are strangely cold outside, and the firecrackers are noisy, it's okay to go back now, now."
