Chapter 1107 This name is unlucky
The guests dispersed and the Hou Mansion returned to quiet. The servants of the Hou Mansion cleaned up the end of the banquet. After Chen Xu sent off all the guests in the front yard, he also went to the back yard with a slight drunkenness to visit the young birthday boy today.
The 100-day wedding banquet is a blessing for new life. I hope it will be healthy and healthy for a long time. Because the first three months of a baby’s birth are basically the time when he is most resistant, he will get sick and die if he is accidentally killed. Therefore, this 100-day banquet is also called the 100-day pass. After 100 days, it means that the baby can shed his swagger and truly have the ability to resist the external environment. It can be considered that his life has grown to another stage.
In this era of extremely primitive and backward medical care, having children is both a responsibility and a pain. Delivery is the first gate of hell. A large number of babies and pregnant women die in difficulty, and then a large number of babies die within two or three months. The main reason is that diseases and infections cannot be cured, because at this time, babies are basically unable to take medicine to treat them. After learning to eat, walk and talk, the dangers of premature death are mostly various uncertain factors, such as wild beast attacks, food poisoning, injury, drowning, etc. Generally, children have to grow up to about seven or eight years old before they have basic life guarantees.
Therefore, according to ancient traditions, after the 100-day banquet, parents need to give the baby a nickname that is easy to call, commonly known as the nickname.
(Note: The nickname originated from the Zhou Dynasty and was called a young name, which is convenient for relatives to call it. Confucius named Qiu, and in fact Qiu was his nickname, meaning Xiaotubao. There was also a monarch's nickname in the Spring and Autumn Period, which was also domineering. The nickname of the Duke of Jin Cheng was called Hei Shang, because his mother dreamed of a god with a black butt when she was pregnant with him. After the Han Dynasty, the gentry class felt that the nickname was indecent and began to gradually abolish the nickname and use the correct name. After the adult ceremony, the word "安" was also called by friends, and they usually did not call him directly, otherwise it would be impolite.)
A large group of people gathered in the back hall, including Chen Jiang, Han Tian, Xing'er, Yu Ji, Shui Qingrou Meng Wanying, Shiman, Fan Caiying, Fan Caiwei, etc. In addition, the maid Yingying, Yanyan and others were rushing to hold today's birthday star to tease. Today, they also changed into a snow fox fur dress and wore a furry hat on their heads, which looked quite festive.
"Come on, give me a hug!" Chen Xu took his daughter from Fan Caiying's arms.
"Husband, after the 100-day banquet, I need to give her a young name or a daily name!" Shui Qingrou reminded.
"Well, it should be like this!" Chen Xu nodded, then hugged his daughter with one hand and pinched his chin with the other hand and began to think. Everyone in the room was quiet, and Fan Caiying looked at Chen Xu even more nervously, hoping that Chen Xu could give his daughter a nice name.
"Green Rou, what's Er Niang's horoscope? Is there anything missing?" Chen Xu suddenly spoke after a while.
The tension in the room was suddenly broken, and Shui Qingrou said with a smile: "Er Niang was born at the 15th day of August on the 15th day of the eighth month. She has all the birth date and eight characters, and there is no flaw!"
"The five elements are perfect, and it is Mid-Autumn Festival again. We are destined to be rich and noble, so what if you are young, you are called Yuanyuan?" Chen Xu spoke after thinking about it.
"Chen Yuanyuan, my husband has made a good reputation for Er Niang! It is catchy and has profound meaning..."
"No, no... This name is not good, it's unlucky, I'll think about it again..."
After hearing Shui Qingrou said the three words Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Xu suddenly shook his face and waved his hand. This name is not a good name. It is born with bad luck and there are signs of a country and family destruction.
The whole family didn't know why Chen Xu suddenly reacted so much. Ying Shiman said gently next to him: "Husband, I think Yuanyuan sounds very nice, perfect, reunion, no shortcomings..."
"Mr. Marquis, I think it's better for Er Niang to use this name!" Fan Caiying also spoke in confusion.
"No, no, how can Er Niang have the same name as the giant panda? Think about it again..." Chen Xu waved his hand and thought again.
"It turns out that my husband is worried about this. In fact, there is no need to be a little bit low. You have to be more humble to support your young name. There is nothing wrong with Yuanyuan!"
"Yes, I think it's good, Yuanyuan is cute!"
"How about my sister giving birth to another one, and then I'll call Tuantuan?"
A group of women were playing around with laughter and laughter.
"My second mother is called Qiuyue. The full moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival also indicates a happy reunion. The word Yuanyuan is not allowed to be called again!" After thinking for a long time, Chen Xu finally thought of a new name.
"Yes, thank you for giving the name to the marquis!" Fan Caiying happily took her daughter from Chen Xu's arms. A group of women began to tease the baby and call the name Qiuyue. Chen Jiang was illiterate and didn't know what the difference between Qiuyue and Yuanyuan was, but she was so happy that she couldn't stop talking.
Chen Xu retreated from the lively room, stood under a osmanthus tree in the middle of the yard, looking up at the slightly hazy sky, dazed.
"Husband!" Shui Qingrou followed, stood beside her and asked softly, "Does Husband remember Miss Chu Yue!"
"Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, alas~" Chen Xu sighed softly.
"Husband, don't be too sad. Tomorrow, prepare some fruit and candles and go to Miss Chuyue's grave to worship you!" Shui Qingrou held Chen Xu's hand and comforted her.
"Let's go after sending your parents away in a few days, so as not to be sad if the two elders find out!"
Chen Xu also had no intention of naming his second daughter Qiuyue, but when he thought of the word Yue, he would unknowingly appear a strange and unrestrained girl's shadow, and this shadow would soon turn into the last poisoned arrow lying in his arms with blood all over his arms. Finally, the smile and light slowly faded from his pale face made him feel unable to breathe and uncomfortable, and the arrow in his chest would be cramped and painful.
Two days later, a light snow fell like jade debris. After this snow, the world seemed to become lonely. There were a lot of less business trips in the southeast, west and north. In addition to the library construction site in the south of the city, it was still busy digging pits and filling soil to transport wood, stone and building materials, there were also many pedestrians on the streets.
During this period, Chen Xu took Niu Dashi and his family to travel around the city and outside the city, and even went to the palace to visit the emperor and Concubine Yun once.
Chen Hu has been obsessed with the training of the 500-young Musket Team. Chen Jiang and Han Tian are also thinking about the chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs and vegetable gardens at home. Niu Dashi is also thinking about the messy things in Qinghe Town. Chen Xu kept them until the end of November and felt that the family could no longer stay there. So he chose a good weather and arranged for the carriage and horse servants to send Chen Hu, Chen Jiang, Han Tian, Xing'er, Xiaomi Niu Dashi Niu Xiaochun and others back.
Come and go in a hurry, have many trivial matters, and as they grow up, they all have to start a family and start a business, so the family can no longer get together as usual to enjoy the joy of family.
"Brother, you must come back when I get married, wuwu~" Before leaving, Xing'er threw herself into Chen Xu's arms and cried loudly, reluctant to leave.
Once she gets married, she can no longer be as close to her brother as before. She may only meet once a year or two years apart.
"Don't worry, my brother will definitely come back then. After returning home, he will serve his parents and Aunt Han, take good care of Xiaomi, and teach her to read, write, dance and cut, just like a few sisters-in-law treat you. After returning, he will treat the villagers well. You and Dashi can control the money on the fiefdom of Qinghe Town at will, but remember not to waste it..."
"Brother, don't worry, I've recorded it all!" After Dun Dun's teaching, Xing'er wiped away her tears and said goodbye to Shui Qingrou Ying Shiman Meng Wan and Fan Caiying and other sisters-in-law. Seeing that it was getting late, she finally got on the bus at the urging of Chen Hu.
"Dashi, I'll leave everything in my family to you. If Xing'er suffers grievance, be careful I'll come back and beat you!" Before leaving, Chen Xu punched Niu Dashi hard.
"Hehe, Brother Xu, don't worry, you have whatever you want at home now, and you don't lack food, clothing, housing and use. You'll be ready to be your uncle in two years. Let's go!" Niu Dashi also turned around and climbed onto the carriage.
"Let's go, be careful on the road! Take care of your parents on the road, and take care of your sister!" Chen Xu couldn't help but feel a little sore in his eyes.
"The weather is cold, don't freeze the princess, don't send it, come out~~" Chen Hu rode on the horse and waved his hand to set off. The strong figure with a long sword on his waist looked a little heroic and domineering.
"Ga~Ga~" As the groom's whip was swung, more than ten carriages started in sequence, set out from the gate of Qinghe Villa, and left under the escort of a group of servants and guards.
"Sister Xing'er, take care of yourself, Brother Xiaoxu and I will come back to see you next year!" After the carriage and horses left, Yu Ji continued to shout loudly and wave.
"Take care, brother, take care, take care of sisters-in-law, remember to come back to see me..." In the carriage that was leaving, Xing'er poked her head out of the lathe and waved desperately, with a hint of crying in her voice.
Some servants and maids in the farewell crowd couldn't help but start crying. Even Ying Shiman, Meng Wan, Fan Caiying and others were sad and kept wiping their eyes.
After a few years of getting along, Shui Qingrou Ying Shiman and other sister-in-laws watched Xing'er grow from a little girl to a graceful girl now. She usually gets along happily and harmoniously with her sister-in-law, especially Xing'er's usual character, as long as she is at home, the entire Marquis' Mansion will be full of laughter and joy. Moreover, Xing'er does not have the bad habit of raising some noble girls since childhood, and she gets along better with the maids and servants in the mansion. Basically, there is no domineering and scolding and beating the servants. Of course, if these situations happen, Chen Xu will be severely criticized and educated. As a result, over the years, the maids and servants of the Marquis' Mansion also like Xing'er and Yu Ji very much.
Overall, the entire Qinghe Marquis Mansion is completely different from all other princes, princes, and ministers. Although the superiors and subordinates here have rules, they are not obvious. Everyone gets along very harmoniously on weekdays.
When Xing'er left, Qinghe Villa suddenly became much quieter.
Yu Ji became a little depressed because she lost her playmate. She either stayed in her room all day, or stayed in the greenhouse to take care of the flowers and plants she planted with Xing'er.
