Embracing the ancient times with roses

After the first month and February, Da Zhuang’s family ushered in the first day of great joy. It’s been a hundred days for Tong Rui’s children. On this day, Da Zhuang’s family is full of people coming and going. It’s very lively. Come with a gift and witness this historic moment.

After eight o'clock, Chu Batian also came over early and brought gifts. Today, Yin Bai will personally watch his little grandson Xisan. His subordinates have already prepared the things for Xisan , until the time comes to start.

The third bath will be held after lunch. The lunch is served in the main room of Da Zhuang’s house, and it is very rich. This time, Li Xiu was not asked to cook. The cooks are all master chefs brought from Chu’s Fort. Not bad, very rich, this is simply good for these farmers who live in the village, nothing to say,

After lunch, the three-washing ceremony officially began, which was presided over by Ding, the maternity nurse.

First of all, Mrs. Ding asked people to set up an incense table on the front of the west room of Da Zhuang's house. On it, there were enshrined the thirteenth year of Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Empress, Yunxiao Empress, Cuisheng Empress, Songzi Empress, Bean Pore Empress, and Vision Empress. idol.However, Li Xiu really didn't know a few of these statues.

There is millet in the incense burner on the incense table, two red candles are inserted in the candlestick, and there is a full amount of money and food for worshiping the gods below.On the kang in the west room, there is a statue of "Kang Gong, kang me", five bowls of sweet-scented osmanthus and fried cakes.

Yin Bai, as the old mother of the family, came to offer incense and kowtow, and Ding's birth mother also bowed three times. Then, Da Zhuang placed the copper basin containing the soup made of locust tree leaves and mugwort leaves and all the ceremonial items on the table. On another table in front of the incense table.

Mrs. Ding brought Tong Rui over, and the third wash officially began. Yin Bai was the first to come over to add a basin for the child. He added a small spoonful of water to the basin, and then put a pair of golden scorpions. Chu Batian came over and put it in. Chu Junhao put a set of jade headgear inside, but it was for kids. In addition, Chu Junhao also put A few banknotes were placed on the table, saying that they were brought by Liu Ziran.

The rest is the extra pots given by the clan and the villagers. Although it is not as good as what Chujiabao gave, Da Zhuang and Li Xiu thanked them one by one. Knowing that this is a little kindness from the villagers, they happily accepted down.

In the end, Jiang Feng also put in the five taels of silver for his own pot, and Li Xiu gave him a hug. Li Xiu knew that Li Da's family was not a wealthy family, but just well-to-do, but Jiang Feng didn't say anything, and still smiled. Put the silver in.

Mrs. Ding was talking auspicious words on the side, making Lixiu's family very happy. Even Yin Bai praised Mrs. Ding very much. After everyone finished adding pots, Mrs. Ding picked up the mallet and poured it into the basin After a stir, he said: "One stir, two stirs and three stirs, the elder brother led the younger brother to run. Seventy, eighty, crooked, naughty, and Xilihulu are all here!" Then he bathed Tong Rui.

When the clothes were taken off for the child, Tong Rui slept well in his father's arms, but when someone put him in the water basin, the child became unwilling and opened his mouth to cry. Feeling a little distressed, even Da Zhuang couldn't help clenching his fists.

As soon as Ding laughed, he said, "Okay, this is a sounding basin. It's auspicious." Then he began to wash, while muttering: "Wash your hair first, and become a prince; wash your waist later, one generation is better than the next." High; wash eggs, become magistrates; wash ditches, become magistrates".

After reading this, he combed Tong Rui's hair with a wooden comb, and his mouth was not idle: "Three combs, two combs, wear a high crown when you grow up; draw your eyebrows on the left, and beat your temples on the right. Find a wife." Four villages; brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, and talk to people to avoid embarrassment."

Rolled eggs on Tong Rui's face again, and then said a set of auspicious words. After washing, he dressed and wrapped the child well.Lightly hit the body with a green onion three times, and then there was a burst of auspicious words, what's the first hit smart, the second hit smart. 'When you're done, ask someone to throw the used green onions on the roof.

Lixiu didn't understand what this was for, Jiang Feng told him in his ear, it meant wishing the child would be extremely smart in the future, Lixiu nodded after hearing this, to show that he understood, and for the rest of the rituals, Lixiu just Watching from the side, if there was something he didn't understand, Jiang Feng told him on the sidelines that when all the rituals were done, the ceremony of washing the third was considered complete.

Finally, when I left Xiu, I saw General Ding, the gold and silver carpentry, jewellery, bank notes, loose money, apron cloth, millet used as incense ashes, eggs, xiguo, and scattered offerings on the table. Jian'er - sweet-scented osmanthus crock stove, oil cake... all of them were taken by him.Li Xiu couldn't help but said, "What a robbery."

Jiang Feng couldn't help but burst out laughing beside him, it doesn't matter what he said, everyone looks like him, his old face blushed, and he lowered his head hurriedly, and then everyone looked at Ding Shi took the things away in a bag.

After Mrs. Ding left, the ritual of sanitation officially came to an end, and everyone took their leave and left. After everyone had left, Li Xiu said, "Oh, if I knew that such good things would be destroyed Ding took it away, I might as well let Jiang Feng wash the child three times, it will be cheaper for Ding."

Da Zhuang smiled when he heard it: "Brother Xiu, it's nothing, this is the rule, it's all like this. But don't worry, Ding is not greedy, he will send back those valuable things at night, this It's the rules he has developed over the years, and everyone in the village knows it, so they are all willing to ask him to wash their children."

Li Xiu nodded after hearing this, but he was still a little embarrassed, and felt a little bit of a villain, so he had to turn his head and say to Chu Junhao: "Why did Liu Ziran ask you to give Tong Rui money? How is he now?"

As soon as Chu Junhao heard Li Xiu asked about Liu Ziran, he said, "He is living a very good life. It is said that he is about to get married. He was appointed by his family as a distant cousin, but I heard that he is very nice. Well, he is very capable and his family background is very good."

Li Xiu nodded: "Oh, when he gets married, tell me what he says, so I can have a wedding wine."

Chu Junhao glanced at Li Xiu, then at Da Zhuang, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together then, he is now the first helper in the fort, and he's busy keeping his family home for a while. His shop was transferred to the site of Chujiabao, so I haven't seen him for a long time, I guess it's time to come back after March."

Li Xiu nodded to show that he understood, and spent the rest of the time holding Tong Rui in his arms and listening to them honestly. When he finally talked about Beirong, Li Xiu suddenly asked, "Are they a grassland tribe?"

Chu Batian nodded: "Well, they are a group of newly enlightened people who always like to rob on the border. We were there to block them before. They didn't dare to rob us here, so they went to Liaodong. Now look Guaranteed that our relationship with the dynasty is not very good, so we started to move around again, and I also have a bit of a headache now, I don’t know what to do.”

Li Xiu thought about it. He remembered that in modern times, he read books that said that the emperors in history had many methods to deal with grassland tribes like them, but one thing was good, which was to open a mutual market, so that both sides could do business. Buying and selling, mutual benefit and reciprocity, in this way, there will be a lot of harmony, at least there will be fewer wars, although there are frictions, but they can all be adjusted, right?

So Li Xiu told what he knew, and now several people in the family started to look at Li Xiu, and Li Xiu was taken aback by them, did he say something wrong?Or committed some taboo?

As soon as Chu Batian heard Li Xiu's brother's idea, he knew that he must be knowledgeable, so he couldn't help asking: "What is a mutual market?"

Now that Li Xiu was choking, don't these people know about the mutual market?Or there is no such thing as a mutual market here at all, even though he was surprised, he still told what he knew: "The so-called mutual market is 'foreign trade' and 'international trade', and this kind of mutual market can be divided into two types. , that is, the silk horse exchange market and the tea horse exchange market, that is, we can use our special products, such as cloth, silk, tea, and ironware and other Central Plains items, and border nomads’ horses, furs, etc. Get what you need and meet each other's needs. In this way, we can exchange our special products for their horses and furs, and they exchange for our daily necessities such as silk, silk, ironware, tea, salt, and porcelain.

Their war horses are very good, much more powerful than ours, and through this item, they will know that not all items can be obtained by robbery, and through their own labor income, it is better than going to the battlefield with people , It was easy to cut each other with knives, and it also somewhat disintegrated some of their fighting spirit, which I think is very good. "

Yin Bai looked at Li Xiu with a smile. He didn't expect that he was also a brother. He had more knowledge and knowledge than a man who had lived so long. This child should stay in the Chu Family Fort. In order not to be coveted by others in the future, it would be bad if something happened, so he made up his mind and said: "Well, I agree with Brother Xiu's idea, since you know so much, come back to the castle with me Come here, teach those people, let them gain insight during the peace talks, and let my old man spend more time with his little grandson."

When Da Zhuang saw it, he hurriedly said: "How can it be done? Who cares about these things at home after Lixiu left? I still have to go to the town and the Zhuangzi. I'm too busy."

Yin Bai glared at him, "Look at your prospects, you won't let your subordinates do it, what do you want them to do, they're idlers"

Before Da Zhuang could reply, he saw that Chu Junhao was happy first, and only his nanny could take care of his little uncle. Usually, Da Zhuang is honest and quiet, but if it involves Li Xiu, be sure Fucking, he only listens to Li Xiu at home. Others seldom influence his thoughts, but his ability to handle affairs is quite powerful and decisive. It's a pity that his little uncle doesn't have those ambitions for the rich and powerful. If he had enough ambition, maybe the Chu Family Fort would have been in his hands long ago, and he also has Li Xiu as a military adviser, which is like adding wings to a tiger!

Seeing that Chu Junhao was happy, Da Zhuang couldn't help but said, "Why are you having fun? I don't want to be separated from my wife. This is human nature. Like you, a bachelor can eat enough for one person and the whole family will not be hungry." ,Easier said than done."

The big guys felt funny when they heard that Da Zhuang cleaned up Chu Junhao, and Li Xiu couldn't laugh anymore. If Chu Junhao was honest at this time, he would not be him, so he immediately got up and retorted: "I don't have a wife? How can I bully you?" Me, mammy, look at my little uncle who bullies me and doesn’t care about my daughter-in-law, you have to make the decision for me, I will marry my daughter-in-law tomorrow, and save him from cleaning me up.”

Yin Bai glanced at Chu Batian, "Well, this matter can be considered. The little brother of the Liu family is a good one. He can manage the house and settle accounts. He is also good-looking. You can go to propose marriage tomorrow. Try to get the marriage done before June."

Chu Junhao heard, "My mother, please forgive me. You don't know how powerful Liu Ziran's younger brother is. I have never won a fight in front of him. He is like a little puppy every time. Like a rooster, he always tells me nothing to say, and the most unbearable thing, every time he sees me, he makes me eat those strange things he made, I, I don’t want to marry him, If I marry him, I won't even think about it."

When Li Xiu heard it, he was happy: "So this little brother is not bad, I think we should try it, maybe it will be a good marriage then, but we have to find out what kind of person that little brother is. ,,,,,?" After speaking, he took a look at Chu Batian, and then shut up, after all, it is Li Xiu's usual practice to leave half a sentence on his lips.

Yin Bai also sighed, and felt that Li Xiu's words were quite right, after all, this matter is a big deal, to marry a wife is to marry a virtuous man, it is a wise saying throughout the ages, otherwise it will bring disaster.

Chu Batian also nodded: "Yes, it doesn't matter who the little brother is, as long as he is a good person, don't look like..." As soon as he said this, Chu Junhao nodded and said seriously: "Listen to father." His youngest is an example.

Li Xiu and Da Zhuang glanced at each other, and said nothing. Sometimes they should not get involved in Chu Batian's affairs, just like Chu Junhao's affairs, Chu Junhao should make the decision himself, otherwise If something goes wrong, it's not good to complain under the brand. . . . . .

In the rest of the time, the family talked about their own things and chatted about homework. Li Xiu liked this kind of atmosphere very much. It may be the reason why he had no relatives since he was a child. Now that he has a family, he feels very happy, especially Da Zhuang is very kind to him, and he is always moved, and Yin Bai is not like those modern parents-in-law who show off their power in front of him. He feels good about such relatives.

After talking all afternoon, the dinner was made by Lixiu. Everyone likes to eat dumplings. Chu Batian and Chu Junhao especially like them. Before leaving, they put the remaining half of the dumplings in a food box and took them away. , Lixiu couldn't help but roll his eyes at the two of them.
