Hedong County.

Wei Mansion.

Today is the birth party for Wei Cheng's two children.

According to different customs in various places, in some places, guests are invited to have dinner together during the full moon.

In some places, it is about half a month. Generally, it is fourteen days for boys and fifteen days for girls, but there are differences.

The Wei family followed the fourteen-day custom, and a large number of cooks started busy early in the morning.

All the restaurant chefs in the city were invited to help cook today, and they would be happy to be invited by the Wei family. You must know that this is a capital to show off. If they go back and shout in the store, they will definitely be able to cook for the Wei family.

Attracting many gourmet diners.

Dongyuan.

Aunt Niu came over with a large vegetable basket, which contained freshly picked fruits and vegetables. Regardless of appearance or size, they were all carefully selected.

"Madam, would you like to wash the tomatoes you just picked and try them?"

Cai Yan is in confinement. She eats a lot of greasy and tonic food on weekdays. Occasionally she eats some fruits and vegetables to relieve her tiredness.

Especially tomatoes, which are sour and sweet, Cai Yan likes them very much.

Wei Cheng was coaxing Erbao when he heard this and said: "Aunt Niu, please wash it and cut it open, and mix it with some icing sugar."

Aunt Niu was used to the courtesy of Wei Cheng and his wife, so she nodded and went to the kitchen to prepare with a smile.

Cai Yan, who was half leaning on the soft couch, raised his head and teased Wei Cheng, "My husband is always so picky about food."

Wei Cheng was stunned and said in a funny tone: "Isn't it normal to eat tomatoes mixed with sugar? If this is considered picky, then there is no simple food in the world."

Cai Yan pouted her little mouth and explained angrily: "Husband, you know what I mean. I mean the icing is too delicate and expensive. My aunt said that the icing outside is sold by two, and one tael costs 300 yuan.

.”

After Wei Cheng heard this, he walked to the bedside with Erbao in his arms and sat down. With one free hand, he touched Cai Yan's greasy hair and said in a gentle tone: "No matter how expensive it is outside, it's just not enough for me.

So, it’s just icing, as long as you like to eat it, no matter how expensive it is, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Cai Yan's pretty face instantly turned hot, and her face, which had a little baby fat due to pregnancy, seemed to have two red clouds hanging on it.

"Oh, don't touch my hair. It hasn't been washed for more than ten days. It's very dirty."

Cai Yan came to his senses and hurriedly turned his head to avoid Wei Cheng's head-touching attack.

I don’t know what the rules are, but mothers who are in confinement cannot wash their hair or take a bath. The only way to clean them on weekdays is to have someone wipe their whole body with a hot towel. Of course, Mr. Wei is happy to do it, but unfortunately, the house

There are too many maids, and there is nothing to do without him.

Wei Cheng retracted his hand, looked at it, smiled, and wiped all the oil in his hand on Dabao's face in Cai Yan's arms.

This brat is really good at eating it, so he didn’t know how to leave some for your father to try.

The second child is still good, just eat three meals a day, and basically sleep the rest of the time.

It is said that as the facial features of the two children gradually grew, Wei Cheng was surprised to find that his twin sons did not seem to look much alike. They were probably so-called fraternal twins. The eldest child looked a bit like Wei Cheng, and the second child looked like

Cai Yan has a round face and is very delicate.

Wei Cheng even doubted whether Erbao was a girl, but when she lowered her head and opened the swaddling clothes, she saw that little Ding Ding, well, it was a boy.

Erbao, who was unswaddled by Wei Qing, thought Wei Qing was playing with him, and kicked his short legs back and forth desperately, with a naive smile on his lips.

When Wei Cheng saw this, he laughed with Cai Yan and said, "Yan'er, look, Erbao's little short legs are quite strong."

Cai Yan was so angry and funny. This husband was simply not upright. How could he call his child short-legged?

"Second Master, the guests have almost arrived. The master of the house asked me to come and let you know."

The voice of the housekeeper Wei Mu came from the yard. Wei Cheng heard the words and put the second baby on the crib.

"Yan'er, you watch first. I'll be back with you in a moment."

Cai Yan shook his head, carefully covered Erbao's belly with a small blanket, and said, "Husband, it's important to entertain the guests. There's no need to come back in a hurry. My aunt and sister-in-law will definitely be here soon. I just need them to accompany me."

Wei Teng nodded slightly and said, "That's okay, I just have something to deal with. I'll ask Hao Niang and Chan'er to accompany you later."

While he was talking, there was a burst of laughter and footsteps in the yard.

The visitors were none other than the wives of the Wei family, as well as women from several aristocratic families such as the Cai family. The eldest aunt Wei Min, the younger aunt Wei Ning, and the elder sister-in-law were also accompanying them.

"Young, Yan'er, you are still here. There were many people in front of you. I thought you had already passed, so I called the female guest to come over and see Yan'er and the two children." Wei Min said when he saw Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng bowed his hands to everyone and responded with a smile: "I'm going over there right now, and you just happened to be here, so Yan'er will be left in the care of the aunts."

The women bowed and saluted, and when they heard this, they all said with envy: "Mr. Wei, you are a good husband. I remember when I was in confinement, my stupid head only knew how to drink and have fun, and he never cared about my child.

"

Wei Cheng chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "You guys are so complimentary."

···

When Wei Cheng came to the front hall, the huge banquet hall was already full.

Today, almost all the people who can be present are here, especially the several aristocratic families that are attached to the Wei family, and the heads of their families are also present in person.

Because there is another program today, which is to choose wives for Dabao and Erbao.

There is nothing wrong with choosing a virgin who is three to six years older than Dabao and Erbao as the future head wife, which can also be said to be a child bride.

Because once selected, the two virgins will stay directly with the Wei family and help Cai Yan take care of the two future husbands.

Wei Cheng was not very interested in this custom and wanted to refuse it, but I heard that he had done it when he was a child, and that anyone from a wealthy family would do this, so after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.

If you think about it from another perspective, it would be easier for your future daughter-in-law to enter the house early, so that you can cultivate relationships and avoid not knowing how to respect your elders in the future.

As for why the girl he loved when he was a child didn't marry him later, Wei Cheng also asked about this, and the answer he got was that the girl's family had offended He Jin and was executed by the whole family.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Regarding this, Wei Cheng could only mourn silently in his heart, mainly because he had no memory of his predecessor, so he didn't feel very sad.

Seeing Wei Cheng arriving, everyone present stood up one after another.

"I've met Lord Wei!"

Except for the people from the Wei family, everyone present bowed to him at the same time. The scene was quite shocking.

Wei Teng bowed in return, then walked up to the eldest old man Xie, helped him up with his own hands, and said: "Mr.

Old Master Xie laughed and said: "If you can't bear it, then I'm afraid there's nothing in the world that can make me bend down."

Wei Cheng chuckled, helped him sit down, walked to the chief seat, and sat down next to his father Wei Hao.

"Let's have a banquet." Wei Cheng ordered the butler Wei Mu on the side.

Wei Mu handed over and left. After a while, various delicacies were presented to him.

Drinking fine wine and eating delicious food, all the guests chatted with each other. The main topic was which girl from the family Wei Qing would choose as his daughter-in-law today. If a daughter from his own family could be chosen, wouldn't it mean that one person would succeed? Chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, etc.

Of course, these are all small aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen, but the real big aristocratic families are too indifferent. Several patriarchs headed by Old Master Xie are silent on this matter. They believe that the Wei family has already chosen. It's useless to say more.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Finally the most exciting moment came.

Wei Hao smiled and said, "Everyone, let's get started."

After hearing this, all the guests looked forward to it.

Outside the door, little girls were lining up and walking in. The oldest among them was only seven or eight years old, and the youngest still needed a maid to hold her hand before she could follow the line.

Wei Cheng sighed quietly, why should he choose that one more? Is this really good?

In fact, what Wei Cheng didn't know was that these little girls had been screened one after another. If all the girls sent by wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families were called, the banquet hall might not even be able to accommodate them.

First, the experienced nuns felt the bones to judge the body shape, and eliminated a batch first.

Then, people from the Wei Family Friendship Hall conducted home visits and eliminated another group.

Finally, I asked people to check their birth dates, which eliminated many people.

At present, these twenty-odd little girls can be said to have been carefully selected. No matter their family background, appearance, or character, they are all top-notch. Only then can they be selected and reach the fourth round.

At this time, Wei Min, who was sitting next to Wei Cheng, looked over and said: "Cheng'er, of the three women you named, we only found two. One of them was Zhang Chunhua. We asked all the Zhang families in Hanoi County. Human, there is no such woman."

Wei Qing nodded slightly. He also asked his second uncle to try his luck. After all, she was a strange woman recorded in the Three Kingdoms. If she could be found to be his son's wife, that would be good, but there was nothing she could do if she couldn't find her.

"What about the other two?" Wei Cheng asked immediately.

Wei Min pointed to the two little girls in the team.

Wei Cheng raised his eyes and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Wei Min said: "This is the daughter of the Bu family in Huaiyin County. The ancestor of the Bu family is Bu Shucheng, one of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius. It is a pity that this daughter is only a concubine. It would be better if she is a direct descendant."

Wei Cheng looked at the submissive little girl in the team and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if she is a direct descendant. As long as she can be my son's good wife, she will be several times better than those direct descendants."

When Wei Min heard this, he understood the same truth. Although the Bu family has a scholarly family, it is just a small aristocratic family. In the eyes of the Wei family, it is not worth mentioning at all. If Wei Cheng hadn't mentioned it by name, the Bu family would not have done it this time.

Someone is selected.

"Where's the other one?"
