Chapter 296: Grasping the Weekly

In the distant Bianjing, the situation is treacherous and unpredictable.

Southern Xinjiang is full of vitality and life is prosperous.

In the blink of an eye, their twins turned one year old.

Prince Yong's Palace will hold a one-year-old ceremony for a pair of twins today.

The whole mansion was busy early in the morning.

The Mu Mansion was decorated with lights and colors in a festive atmosphere, even more grand than the Chinese New Year.

Gu Huan, her mother and the old lady started working early in the morning and placed a large soft couch in the main hall of the main courtyard.

The couch was filled with a variety of items for the one-year-old celebration.

A small sword, this is a must-have item for the first birthday celebration in a family of military commanders.

A jade seal represents a smooth career.

An ancient scroll and writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone symbolize knowledge and wisdom.

Other toys include small abacus, scales, rulers, buckets, gold and silver ingots, bows and arrows, flutes, rattles, small wooden horses and other play objects.

Gu Huan gave an order, and everyone in the Mu family stopped what they were doing and came to watch the ceremony.

Mu Chen and Mu Xi are the two little darlings of the whole mansion, and everyone is excited to know what they will catch.

A pair of babies were carried to the soft couch by their wet nurse. When they saw the bed full of toys, they became excited.

The servants were discussing excitedly and guessing what they were going to catch.

They even started betting with money in private, and since it was a fun thing, Gu Huan let them have fun.

The old lady and Wang Linyi's eyes were full of love and expectation.

Wang Linyi was also a little nervous. He held the old lady's hand and asked in a low voice, "Mother-in-law, what do you think Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan will take?"

Yuanyuan is the nickname of older sister Mu Chen, and Tuantuan is the nickname of younger brother Mu Xi.

The old lady smiled mysteriously: "What do you think?"

Wang Linyi thought for a moment and said, "I guess Yuanyuan will take the gold ingots. She is usually happy when she sees something golden."

Then look at Tuantuan who is smiling at the pile of things but not in a hurry to grab them: "I think Tuantuan is very gentle. When he hears his mother reciting poems, he listens quietly. Could it be that he knows how to use the four treasures of the study?"

The old lady smiled and said, "Let's take a look."

Gu Huan and Mu Junyan stared with wide eyes, and Gu Huan clutched Mu Junyan's sleeve nervously.

Mu Junyan patted Gu Huan's hand and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be nervous. No matter what the children catch, it is their luck."

Gu Huan nodded slightly, but her eyes were still full of worry: "Of course I know, but I can't help but feel nervous. This grab is always a thought."

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan both wore the same red brocade jacket embroidered with a kirin, a tiger-head hat on their heads, and tiger-head shoes on their feet.

My sister's round, chubby face was smiling so much that her eyes were almost invisible. She excitedly crawled around in the pile of things and picked up one out of curiosity. There was a burst of exclamations all around, and the servants who had placed bets were so excited that it seemed like they were doing the "Zhuazhou" themselves.

As Yuanyuan dropped the one in her hand and grabbed another one, exclamations rang out one after another.

Gu Huan felt a little helpless.

If she had known that the servants were more excited than her, she would not have allowed them to block the way and play.

The younger brother Tuantuan was as calm and quiet as ever. He looked obediently at the lively crowd around him, and then at his sister crawling all over the bed.

That little expression was as if he thought Yuanyuan was a little kid, while he was the king who ruled the country.

Gu Huan began to be surprised when she saw it.

"Ziyuan, you said that Yuanyuan is usually the bossy one, but how come Tuantuan acts like he is the big brother?"

Mu Junyan smiled: "Because they are geniuses who were created by combining us and then splitting and sublimating."

Gu Hua rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look at how you've praised a pair of ignorant babies. Could it be that they are immortal children descended to earth?"

"That's natural."

Mu Junyan burst into laughter.

"Hey, why did you stop, young lady?"

Yuanyuan seemed tired of climbing and actually sat down. Her face was tired of smiling and only her big eyes were left scanning everywhere like a little general patrolling her territory.

He took a look at the things in front of him, then reached out and pushed away the abacus that was blocking the sword.

Without hesitation, he stretched out his chubby little hand, grabbed the hilt, and raised the tiny sword.

“Mother, mother…”

Gu Huan's eyes widened: "How can she grab a sword?"

Unexpectedly, Yuanyuan still felt it was not enough, and stretched out her hand to reach the crossbow that was a little far away.

Mu Junyan bent down with a smile: "Yuanyuan, do you want a crossbow?"

Yuanyuan immediately grinned at him: "Bow, bow..."

"Then call daddy and he will get it for you."

Mu Junyan was very upset because Yuanyuan never called him dad and at most she would laugh at him.

Unexpectedly, when Yuanyuan heard this, her smile disappeared, her little head turned, and she used her chubby hands to pull away her father's handsome head and crawled over to grab it.

He immediately excitedly swung his sword in one hand and his crossbow in the other.

Mu Junyan felt even more heartbroken, and looked resentfully at Gu Huan who was laughing so hard that she was bent over.

"Didn't they say that daughters are their fathers?"

Gu Huan smiled and touched Mu Junyan's head: "It's okay, her mother and father are fine."

Mu Junyan was immediately comforted and hugged his wife's waist: "Yeah."

But now no one cares about their display of affection, and Wang Linyi is very worried.

"Oh, Yuanyuan is a girl, why is she thinking about wielding swords and guns?"

The old lady chuckled: "Our palace is going to produce a true female general of the Mu family."

Yuanyuan seemed to understand. She waved the sword and crossbow in her hands and screamed happily. Her posture seemed to announce that she would travel the world with a sword in the future.

Wang Linyi smiled helplessly and said, "I'm afraid this girl is a wandering traitor!"

The old lady smiled and nodded: "He has a lot of drive. He is from our Mu family. Good!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the younger brother Tuan Tuan.

Tuantuan's little face was tilted with a calm smile. She quietly stretched out her hand, and suddenly there was a jade seal lying in her small and soft palm.

Everyone exclaimed: "The seal, the young master touched the seal."

Gu Huan was surprised: "When did you grab it? Why didn't I see it?"

Tuantuan put away his little hand and clasped the other hand, as if everything was under control.

Everyone was extremely surprised.

Wang Linyi was very excited: "Tuantuan is so calm, the little guy looks confident."

The old lady was also very happy: "Yes, it has a bright future."

Mu Junyan smiled and said to Gu Huan, "It seems that our boy may be able to make a difference in his career in the future."

Gu Huan also laughed: "Whether it's wandering the world or becoming an official, as long as I can be safe and happy, that's fine."

Some of the servants began to cheer, while others complained.

Gu Huan turned around and smiled, "Whatever you lose will be mine."

Everyone clapped excitedly.

Everyone was talking excitedly. Sister Yuanyuan was waving a sword in one hand and a crossbow in the other, as if she was really going to travel the world with a sword.

My younger brother Tuantuan was playing with the seal quietly, looking very serious.

After the lively ceremony of grabbing the first month of the new year was over, everyone in the mansion had a sumptuous banquet.

At sunset, the two babies were tired from playing and fell asleep in their respective little beds.

Gu Huan snuggled up to Mu Junyan, looking at the pair of babies lovingly.

“If only it could always be like this.”

Mu Junyan hugged her waist and said softly, "I will."

Gu Huan looked up at him: "A letter from the capital, right?"

She saw Chi Yan appear just now and said a few words to Mu Junyan, and Mu Junyan's expression obviously darkened.

As soon as Chi Yan appeared, Gu Huan knew it must be a big deal.
