Chapter 1005: Full Moon Ceremony

The full moon is the most important day for a baby, and the infant mortality rate of the ancients was very high, and the baby survived for a month after birth to survive a difficult time.

At this time, parents will hold a full moon ceremony to celebrate their children's difficulties and wish their newborns healthy growth.

Nowadays, although there is a maternity and children's hospital, the infant mortality rate has been greatly reduced, but the inheritance of this custom will naturally not be broken, but there are also patriarchal families, only for boys to do full moon wine, not for girls, and in the Mo family is not, there is no preference for sons, although Merton gave birth to a daughter, but Merton still held a full moon ceremony with boys.

"Hahaha, where's my little niece?" Qin Huaiyu and the three of them rushed over, said hello to Morton who was waiting at the door, and went directly to see the child.

Merton smiled bitterly, looked at the three figures that had disappeared, and had to continue to wait for the guests at the door.

This time, Merton invited all the people close to him to attend his daughter's full moon ceremony, and of course, there were many uninvited, so Merton naturally welcomed him warmly.

"Congratulations to Mo Hou for having his beloved daughter!" Suddenly, a voice appeared outside the Mo Mansion, which made Mo Dun frown, only to see that it was the head of the Zheng family who came in person, followed by Zheng Chang, who had just recovered.

"It turned out to be Senior Zheng, the last time Senior Zheng came to visit, it happened that the little girl was born, and he failed to receive it, so he neglected the head of the Zheng family, and invited Haihan!" Merton said generously, the visitor was a guest, and Merton was embarrassed to tear his face, so he could only entertain him warmly.

"It's okay, it's not the right time for the old man to come, but I suddenly heard that Mohou is happy to love his daughter, and he came to congratulate him today, and the mere gift is not a respect." The head of the Zheng family stretched out his hand and handed over a pair of gift slips.

Merton's eyes swept widely, but he couldn't help shrinking his eyes, the head of the Zheng family said that it was a small gift, but there was a long column on the gift list, and this gift list alone could be described as extremely rich.

Zheng Chang waved his hand, and in an instant, the Zheng family's subordinates, who had already prepared, carried a large number of gifts and prepared to move to the Mo family.

Mo Dun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Senior Zheng is slow, thank you Senior Zheng for your kindness, Mo Mou received it for the little girl, but it is really unfortunate, today's little girl's full moon banquet will not accept gifts, as long as you come, you will be a distinguished guest of the Mo family, and please ask Senior Zheng not to blame." ”

"No gifts!" The head of the Zheng family couldn't help but be stunned, since ancient times, the biggest purpose of the official family banquet is to receive gifts, and this is a blatant opportunity to receive benefits, but he didn't expect that he would not accept gifts when he came to the Mo family.

Zheng Chang didn't believe it, and when he stretched out his head to take a look, he found that Mo Jiazi was not lying, but really didn't accept gifts, and what was placed in the gatehouse was just some children's clothes, and there were no other gifts.

The head of the Zheng family took a deep look at Mo Dun and said, "Mo Hou's actions have indeed impressed Zheng. ”

After that, the head of the Zheng family turned around in person, took out a set of well-made little girl's clothes from the ceremony, and solemnly presented it.

Merton did not dislike it in the slightest, but took it with both hands, handed it to Fauber, and said loudly: "Thank you! Senior Zheng, Brother Zheng, please! ”

Under the tie of Fu Bo, the head of the Zheng family entered the Mo Mansion, and saw the courtyards in the Mo Mansion that used the latest ink techniques everywhere, and there was an eye-opening feeling, and even some of them were not used at all.

"The Mo family is unfathomable!" The head of the Zheng family said with a solemn face, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side has won all battles, when he personally saw the essence of the Mo Mansion, he knew that even if he had been with the five surnames and seven hopes for so long, the Mo family had not reached the end of the water.

"It's just a trick." Zheng Chang said disapprovingly.

"Yo! Isn't this Brother Zheng? Recovered so quickly! Suddenly, three figures that made Zheng Chang have a deep memory appeared in front of Zheng Chang, and it happened that Qin Huaiyu and the three of them came out after seeing Morton's daughter and took a picture with Zheng Chang.

"It's you!" Zheng Chang immediately gritted his teeth, and for a while, new hatred and old hatred couldn't help but come to his heart.

Qin Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, and snorted coldly: "What, I still want to fight, but I can't do it today, today is the full moon banquet for my little niece, and you can choose the time and place another day." ”

"That's it!" Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin stepped forward at the same time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the so-called grievances should be resolved rather than settled, today is the big day of Brother Mo, Xiao is a peacemaker here, the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, the four of them got married, it can be regarded as a good story, I don't know what Senior Zheng thinks." Xiao Rui appeared on the side to persuade him, but his eyes looked at the head of the Zheng family on the side.

The head of the Zheng family said without changing his face: "It should be so." ”

"You and the other three don't thank you for your magnanimity!" Xiao Rui said to Qin Huaiyu. Xiao Rui is married to Li Shimin's eldest daughter, and she has a high prestige among the gentlemen, and Qin Huaiyu and the three of them can also be regarded as his juniors.

"Thank you, Senior Zheng!" Qin Huaiyu and the three of them arched their hands, although they were not afraid of heaven and earth, but after all, the head of the Zheng family was the leader of the five surnames and seven hopes, even their fathers did not want to offend him, and the three of them naturally borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.

"It's indeed a rising star, and it's rare to find a good talent." The head of the Zheng family praised with a kind face, as if he had seen his favorite junior, as if he didn't know that the three of them beat their son to bed for half a month.

Qin Huaiyu and the three of them felt like they were being seen through in front of the entire old fox, and they couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly found a reason to leave.

"Father, why did you let them go so easily!" Zheng Chang said unwillingly.

The head of the Zheng family snorted coldly: "We came here today to ease relations with the Mo family and seek a way to break the situation, but we are not here to cause trouble, not to mention that Qin Qiong and others have a decisive influence in the court, Qin Huaiyu and the three of them are even better with the Mo family. ”

"Yes, Father!" Zheng Chang was unwilling, but he could only respond.

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have arrived!" Suddenly, a report came, which instantly attracted the attention of all the guests and hosts, and the reason why everyone was willing to cheer for the Mo family was that this was the full moon banquet of Princess Changle's daughter, I am afraid that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun would not be absent, this is an opportunity to get close to the emperor.

"See the emperor!"

"See the Queen!"

Under the leadership of Merton, a group of guests came to greet the door of the Mo Mansion.

"Everyone, today is a family banquet, no need to be polite." Li Shimin said loudly and accompanied Empress Changsun to get out of the carriage together.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After the ministers got up, the atmosphere of the monarchs and ministers suddenly warmed up.

Empress Changsun waved her hand, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs immediately walked over with gifts.

"Back to the queen, this time for the full moon banquet, Mofu will not accept any gifts." Merton hurriedly stepped forward.

"No gifts!" In an instant, Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun looked at Merton's guests in surprise.

The head of the Zheng family took the lead and said: "Mohou is high and bright, which really makes the old man admire!" ”

The other guests nodded their heads in appreciation, and in any case, Merton's move was indeed morally impossible to fault.

"It's a novelty." Li Shimin's eyes flashed and said, if the atmosphere of not accepting gifts at banquets is formed, the atmosphere of bribery and wealth accumulation among officials will definitely be greatly reduced.

"It's okay if others don't accept it, but it's not included in this palace to send something to my daughter and granddaughter!" Empress Eldest Sun raised her eyebrows and said, there is no need to say anything at the moment, let the palace maid send the gift in.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" The elder didn't dare to resign, but Merton was not an old-fashioned person, so he had to accept his life.

The hundred officials smiled heartily, and naturally no one said anything!

With the arrival of Li Shimin and the eldest grandson, the full moon banquet of the eldest daughter of the Mo family officially began.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Rui suddenly said: "I heard that Mohou is very fond of his daughter as a treasure, why don't you bring it over and let me wait and see." ”

"That's it!" As the guests coaxed, Merton had to go into the inner room and take his daughter out, after a month of growth, the original wrinkled little face has been fully opened, extremely pink and cute.

"Sure enough, it's a natural beauty!"

The guests praised one after another.

"Come on! Come! Grandpa hug! Li Shimin stretched out his hand to take his granddaughter, and couldn't help but look loving, making his granddaughter giggle.

"It is worthy of His Majesty's bloodline, and he is very close to His Majesty." The head of the Zheng family on the side echoed.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "That's natural, today I am happy in my heart, I am specially appointed as the county lord, as for the fiefdom, I haven't thought about it yet, it is better for Zhuqing to have a good plan." ”

"County Lord!" Many people were shocked in their hearts, this woman was just a full moon, Li Shimin actually named her the county lord, and more importantly, there was a special fief, you must know that Princess Changle's fief is next to Mojia Village, if Moton's daughter has another fief, wouldn't it be that the area of Mojia Village will be one more.

Merton's heart moved, and he immediately knew that this must be the reward that Li Shimin said a month ago, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin's so-called heavy reward turned out to be a fief.

Xiao Rui's eyes flashed, he naturally knew that the best fief for Modun's daughter must be adjacent to Mojia Village, but in this way, the strength of Mojia Village will definitely grow again, which is not in line with the interests of Jiangnan, and his heart moved at the moment: "It is rumored in Chang'an City that Mohou once said that his daughter is his father's intimate little padded jacket, and now the Mo family is promoting cotton in Songjiang Mansion, it is better to seal the fief of the county lord in Songjiang Mansion, and it is best to deliver cotton to Chang'an City every year to fulfill the filial piety of the county lord." ”

"Filial piety every year, good, it is indeed a good place." Someone immediately chimed in.

"Matsue Mansion?" Merton raised his eyebrows, it was the place known as Shanghai Beach in later generations, Xiao Rui thought that he had avoided the surroundings of Mojia Village, but he didn't know that the place he chose was the place that made the Mo family more powerful, if his daughter's fiefdom was chosen in Songjiang Mansion, Merton was sure that it would become a first-level wealthy place in Luoyang, Chang'an in 20 years.

The head of the Zheng family snorted coldly in his heart, Songjiang Mansion is a land south of the Yangtze River, and the Xiao family naturally wants to let the Mo family tie up in Jiangnan, how can he let it succeed.

"Back to Your Majesty, Wechen heard that Mohou promoted cow milk feeding for the sake of the world's baby feeding, and let the county lord try it by himself, this is the gospel of the world, Wechen thought that the county lord's fief should be in the north of the abundant water and grass, widely grazing dairy cows, and benefiting the world's babies." The head of the Zheng family said loudly, trying his best to keep Merton's daughter's fief in the north.

In an instant, everyone couldn't help but fall silent, no one thought that the dispute between the north and the south caused by the Mo family would spread to their daughter's fiefdom.
