Chapter 477 Catch the week
On the day of the full moon banquet, the little girl was finally given a name.
After much arguing, he finally married Danzi. Gu Qingpei felt that the young lady should be open and generous. Vermilion is much more gorgeous than pink, and he didn't want his daughter to be timid in the future.
Of course, Lady Dan was indeed well-raised. When she was a teenager, she used the Red Tassel Spear to defeat all the boys of the same age in Kyoto Prefecture. At that time, Gu Qingpei only thought that his little girl was good and did not consider the inner world of other colleagues in Kyoto Prefecture at all.
However, that’s a story for later.
On the day of the full moon banquet, the Gu Mansion was packed with people, and many people came to send their blessings. There were many people in other mansions, including wives and concubines.
Soon we will be attending a full moon banquet, but the Gu family hasn’t held a full moon banquet for more than twenty years.
Everyone presented gifts, many of which were rare. Gu Qing Pei stood at the door and thanked the guests one by one.
At this time, an old man slowly walked over, holding an exquisite wooden box in his hand. Gu Qing Pei watched from a distance, not knowing what he was going to do.
In fact, there have always been such old people in Kyoto Prefecture. They would come to the door and deliver some small gifts during the full moon banquet. No matter whether they are true or false, they always have good meaning.
After taking the item, he exchanged it for a silver ingot from the owner, so that both parties owed each other nothing.
"This is a spiritual plant seed that I found by chance. It is said that the things grown from it will be of great benefit to women." The old man took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Gu Qingpei.
Gu Qing Pei knew that this old man was the one who brought the things to exchange for silver ingots, so he asked the servant next to him to take the silver ingots and accept the wooden box.
No matter what, try to get a good start.
The old man received the silver ingot, bowed, and said, "Your new wife is lucky. Don't forget me if you have a bright future."
Gu Qing Pei did not take it seriously. After all, there were many old men like this. Last time he attended the full moon banquet of a colleague's child, an old man even said that his son would be able to control the world in the future.
Who knows what is going on?
When almost everyone at the door had arrived, Gu Qing Pei turned around and went back to the yard.
Little Dan Niang didn't cry or make a fuss in her swaddling clothes, her big black eyes looked around curiously. Strangely enough, little Dan Niang had never cried since she was born.
I vaguely remember the day she was born. If I hadn't laughed for no reason, I would have thought she was a little mute.
Everyone gathered around Xiao Dan Niang. This child was really lovable. People especially liked pretty girls, and many married people who had not yet given birth to children were eager to hold her.
I hope I can be lucky enough to give birth to such a fair and chubby baby.
"Master Gu, your little girl is so adorable. My son is only three years old, but he can already recognize a lot of words. How about arranging a marriage for them?"
Many of Gu Qingpei’s colleagues joked with him, but he rejected them one by one. His little Dan Niang would be worthy of the best man in the world in the future, but now... what did a two or three-year-old child know?
No one was angry, after all, it was just a joke.
Qi Ning'an was busy in the kitchen, sometimes in the front and sometimes in the back.
She was in charge of the entire full moon banquet today. With so many aristocratic families present, even the serving of dishes had its own rules. It would be bad if something was accidentally missed, or if the greasy dishes were served first.
Fortunately, Kyoto restaurants have participated in too many such banquets and are not too flustered.
In fact, in Kyoto Prefecture, many wealthy people found Qi Ning'an's behavior incomprehensible. She had married into a marquis's mansion, and her family was also a marquis's mansion.
She was born to love tinkering with cooking stuff, but what was there to tinker with? It was not presentable... Every time she attended a banquet, she was very busy, but she could not communicate with other ladies. She always felt out of their circle, and many people laughed at her for being a bumpkin.
The most important thing is that the wife must provide support for her husband in the rear, so that her husband can rise rapidly in the front. There has never been a wife like Qi Ning'an.
However, there are also many people who envy Qi Ning'an. How wonderful it is to be able to do what he likes.
The banquet was almost over and everyone was still a little reluctant to leave. The child was so adorable that it was hard not to notice him.
It was not until little Dan Niang started crying and making a fuss for milk and wanted to go to sleep that he handed her over to the wet nurse and took her to the backyard.
When the banquet was almost halfway through, Qi Ning'an finally had time to return to the table to eat dinner. Shen Rongrong looked at her busy appearance and couldn't help but said, "Why do you have to do all these things yourself? Look how tired you are."
Qi Ning'an waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I just missed half an hour of eating."
Then, she leaned close to Shen Rongrong's ear and whispered, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your concern for me, but I'm almost full from eating in the kitchen."
The two of them burst into laughter.
Qi Ning'an asked Shen Rongrong whether she could still eat while pregnant, and whether she needed to adjust her pregnancy meals or something.
Shen Rongrong smiled carelessly and said, "There's no need to adjust. Others are in so much pain during their 10-month pregnancy, but my stomach is so peaceful. I can eat and sleep comfortably every day."
Qi Ningliang next to him smiled and said, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, I'm grateful that he didn't bother my wife."
Qi Ning'an almost passed out, but she silently shifted her gaze and continued to gnaw on her duck leg.
……
After the full moon banquet, life gradually returned to normal. Little Danniang grew up day by day, becoming more and more clever and lovely.
When it came to the "Zhuazhou" ceremony, that little hand, as white and tender as a snow ball, actually grabbed a small red tasseled spear without hesitation.
After thinking about it, he put it down again. Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw him holding a red tasseled spear in one hand and a saddle in the other.
The eldest princess couldn't help but complain to her grandson, "What kind of things are you holding for the first birthday? Who would prepare these for a little girl?"
Gu Qing Pei scratched his head. Is it not possible? He had attended other people's first birthday banquets before and they all had these things.
"All these things you have for the one-year-old celebration are for boys. Hurry up and buy me some things for girls. How can a little girl hold a long tasseled spear?" The eldest princess frowned and coaxed Xiao Danniang to put these things down quickly.
But Xiao Dan's mother refused to do so. If her hands were pried apart, she would cry breathlessly and hold them tightly until she went to bed. The things she bought afterwards were of no use to her.
