Chapter 137 Full-moon Wine
Lei Tia asked: "Where is he?"
Lei Qinshun said: "The third young master was so happy that his mouth could not close. He ran away in a hurry and said that he wanted to report to his relatives."
"I finally managed to get a son. It would be weird if he didn't." Qin Mian turned his head to ask Lei Tia, "Tia, are their three washing ceremonies a little heavier?"
Lei Tia thought about the matter of cutting down the trees and raised his head.
Qin Mian said to Lei Qinshun: "If you tell our words to Uncle Fu, he will understand what to do."
Lei Qinshun understood, "Yes."
On the same day that Lei Xiangyi's son was washed, Qin Mian and Lei Tia left together with the box in his hand.
At Lei Xiangyi's home, all the guests had already arrived early.
The child's name was Niu Niu, but he hadn't given it any name yet. Lei Xiangyi wanted to wake Lei Xiangzhi up when he returned.
After lunch, the student's grandma presided over the three washing ceremonies. First of all, there was a incense table placed outside the delivery room to worship the thirteen deities, such as Empress Yun Xiao, the one who gave birth to the Empress, the one who sent the concubine, and the one who sent the peas. In the incense burner to be filled with fragrant rice, made into ashes for incense, down to the bottom of the Huang Qian, Yuanbao and other god's food. Maternal bedroom on the kang, "Kangang Gong" and "Kangang Mother" on the statue of the god, three bowls of oil cake as a tribute. After bringing in the incense, my grandmother kowtowed three times.
Qin Mian felt that it was very fresh, and looked at it very seriously. He always felt that it was unscientific, so he didn't give his family's two little treasures the third washing ceremony.
The birth grandmother hugged the baby, and the "Third Cleansing" officially began.
At the begi
ing, the family was led by the elders to add a small scoop of water, and then put some coins or fruit, which was called "add pot." It was said that the more things one added to the pot, the greater the luck the little child would have in the future. But everything that was added to the pot belonged to his grandmother.
Qin Mian was very curious about what the few extremely high quality Lei Family s would add, and stood in the crowd with the mood of watching a joke.
Lei Tia stood shoulder to shoulder with him. Seeing his daughter-in-law's smile, a hint of a smile flashed past his eyes.
Lei Daqiang, Madam Du and the others were all elders so they were the first to add fuel to the fire. Lei Daqiang placed a handful of copper coins in the basin, around 20 of them, which was pretty good. "Count the brass," he sang with a smile.
Madam Wei expressionlessly scooped a spoonful of clear water into her bowl, but no one knew which customer laughed out loud. Madam Du glared at him fiercely, but did not find him. She lifted the corner of her skirt and sat down heavily on a chair.
His grandmother was used to seeing all kinds of scenes. Her expression did not change, but she was still happy. "Changshui, smart and smart."
Just like Lei Daqiang, Madam Wei placed a handful of copper coins in her arms.
Lei Xiangren swaggered up to the water surface and swept his right hand across the water surface, causing the water to splash around for a while. A hint of disdain flashed through his grandmother's eyes. He thought that no one else had seen it ?? he hadn't added anything at all.
The guests were not blind, so they could tell at a glance that there was nothing in the basin. A few of them muttered as their disdainful gazes swept towards Lei Xiangren. They were all sighing inwardly: Even if you can't bear to spend the money, it would still be a good omen to pour some water or make some fruits. This was Xi San, his nephew!
Mrs Zhao twisted her waist and walked forward, adding a ladle of water into the basin, without a shred of shame on her face.
Lei Xiangyi's expression was very calm, it was likely that he had already given up on this couple for a long time.
Lei Xianglee and his wife Sun family had both gained twenty copper coins, it wasn't good to outdo their parents.
Then it was Qin Mian's and Lei Tia's turn. Lei Tia casually put it down, and the water in the water bowl chimed. Everyone looked carefully and saw that it was a longevity silver lock that was worth at least one tael. In terms of adding fuel to the fire, this was already a large sum of money.
Lei Xiangyi revealed a sincere smile and nodded slightly to Lei Tia.
Xu Que's grandma's smile finally became a bit more genuine as she loudly chanted, "Long life lock, lock onto both wealth and fortune!"
Qin Mian added a bunch of copper coins into the bowl, which everyone thought was one stick, which was one hundred coins.
"A hundred copper coins, a hundred years of life!"
Next were the relatives and villagers. A few people would add more copper coins, while the rest would add some fruit or water.
After adding the bowl, my grandma picked up the club and stirred it into the bowl, singing, "One stir two stir three times, my brother leads my brother to run. "Seventy, eighty ??"
After the singing, he used the water in the basin to bathe the baby. It was a rather long process of singing, and he spoke good words without asking for money.
By the time the ceremony was over, his grandmother congratulated him and more or less asked for more money. Lei Xiangyi took a small purse from his pocket and handed it over to his grandma, then thanked her.
Xu Que's grandma weighed her purse and nodded to herself. At least the owner was not a fool. As for the one that seemed to be her master's brother, if he asked her to wash three things in the future, she wouldn't be interested.
In the end, his grandma took everything out of the basin ?? the overall harvest was not small.
"..."
May 10 was a full and full moon. The spring day was warm with a light breeze blowing.
Leisurely Dwelling House s were all disguised by the servants, giving off a joyous atmosphere. Red lanterns were hung at the gate, and couplets were pasted to congratulate the full moon: The first half was blessed by the heavens, the second half was celebrated by noble people, the first was celebrated by the whole family, and the last one was celebrated by the whole family.
Although the Leisurely Dwelling House was big, there were still not enough places to set up multiple tables and banquets. Furthermore, this time, there would definitely be many mischievous children in the banquet, it would be hard to control the number of people there. Thus, Qin Mian and Lei Tia decided to set the location of the feast on Cereal Field.
The main purpose of the full moon ceremony for the two children was to a
ounce the existence of the two children. Back then, when Qin Mian and Lei Tia spread the news, they were mainly targeting the villagers ?? those who were willing to come, would come, and those who were not willing would not force themselves. Thus, the two prepared to have someone prepare a Flowing Water Mat. Once they gathered all the dishes, they would serve the dishes. Even if you were from the outer village, as long as you said a few words of blessings, even if you didn't bring a congratulatory gift, you could still eat.
Different from the last time Lei Daqiang had a banquet, the situation this time around was rather grand. Early in the morning, the Leisurely Dwelling House emitted a joyous sound of popping bamboo, and the sound shook the skies, ringing for a good two quarters of an hour. After breakfast, the servants began to busy themselves methodically. Some were responsible for cooking the red eggs, some were responsible for moving the tables, chairs and chairs, and some were responsible for transporting vegetables to and from the Cereal Field s.
All sorts of ingredients were transported from the Leisurely Dwelling House and the town to the Cereal Field one after another.
A few villagers who had good relations with Qin Mian Family took the initiative to help, as they were doing it in full swing.
The kitchen had been set up the night before, and when the six cooks, who had been invited to make the noodles, arrived, they began to cook, fry, and stew.
A luxurious carriage entered Qingshan Village. As it passed by, the curtains were raised and then lowered, and the carriage continued to move forward before stopping at Leisurely Dwelling House's entrance.
attendant knocked on the door knocker.
When Lei Qinle saw this person, he was somewhat surprised. However, he still courteously stepped forward and greeted, "Greetings, Young Master Nie and Young Master Mu."
The two people who came down from the carriage were Nie Heng and Mu Chen. When they heard that Qin Mian and Lei Tia had "given birth" to a pair of twin sons, the two of them could not sit still any longer.
"Kid, you sure have a good memory." Nie Heng laughed, "We came to congratulate your master, is your master here?"
Lei Qinle said: "Master and Young Master are here, please come in."
He led them through the door and called a servant to let him go to the main house first.
Mu Chen looked at the red flowers and green willow trees in front of him, and smelt the various flower fragrance that floated in the air, and only felt relaxed and happy.
"This Leisurely Dwelling House is truly a paradise. Every time I enter, I feel all the fatigue on my body being swept away."
Nie Heng took a slow step, glanced at the little fish swimming in the pond and nodded in agreement, "That is indeed the case. Qin Mian and Lei Tia are the people who truly enjoy themselves the most. "
After a while, they arrived at the house. The white curtains on the second floor fluttered in the wind, occasionally swaying outside the windows. Last time when they entered the Leisurely Dwelling House, Nie Heng and Mu Chen only looked from a distance. After they walked closer, they couldn't help but size up the house, and faintly felt that this house was extremely special, though they couldn't pinpoint the specifics.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia carried Yuan Yuan and went to the entrance, full of people to welcome them.
"Nie Heng, Young Master Mu, how have you been?" This is Lei Tia.
"Nie Heng, Young Master Mu. Your esteemed guest has arrived, and is unwelcome. Please forgive me. " This is Qin Mian.
"Since you call Nie Heng by his name, then call me by my name as well." Mu Chen's tone was amiable as his gaze fell on the little child in Qin Mian's embrace.
Qin Mian laughed: "Okay. "You two, please come in."
Nie Heng and Mu Chen did not enter, but stared weirdly at the two children.
"This is your twin son."
Full in Qin Mian's embrace, Yuan Yuan was being carried by Lei Tia. The two kids wore the same tiger skin hat, and wore the same red thin clothes.
The little girl was different every day. Compared to a month ago, Yuan Yuan's current face was much clearer, making people feel like she was made out of the same mold as Qin Mian and Lei Tia. Yuan Yuan was relatively quiet, but her personality made her seem more like Lei Tia. She was full of liveliness, with the corners of her mouth occasionally curling up, as though she was smiling. Her eyes were also rolling around, and her mouth was babbling from time to time.
"It really looks like you two!" Nie Heng smiled as he took out two longevity locks made of pure gold and hung them around Yuan Yuan's neck, saying sincerely, "Congratulations, you have gained a noble son."
"Congratulations." Mu Chen seemed to have made a promise with him, as he took out two pure golden longevity locks.
Both of them were smart people with doubts in their hearts, but they did not ask anything.
"Many thanks ??" The corner of Qin Mian's mouth twitched. The longevity locks they gave him had to be at least five or two. Don't pinch his son's neck. However, it was a blessing to add a gift to the full moon, and it was not lucky to take it off at once. With one hand, he placed the longevity lock on his arm to lighten the burden. Five liang of pure gold long chain was equivalent to fifty liang of silver, a huge sum. But since Nie Heng and Nie Heng had already given them over, they would not take them back, so Qin Mian did not show any courtesy.
