The Duke's wife spoke encouragingly with a loving smile on her face, but at the same time she felt vaguely uneasy.

Although everyone knows that this is just a long-standing traditional custom and the meaning it reflects may not be accurate, as a mother, she still sincerely hopes that her beloved baby can choose a beautiful and lucky item from the many toys and books as a souvenir of this celebration.

Don't pick up that box of rouge and the mirror.

If you really do this, when you propose marriage in the future, others will definitely tease you about it: "Hey, do you remember that box of rouge you grabbed back then? Hurry up and find it and give it to your future wife."

Just thinking about this scene makes me feel so embarrassed!

She saw Baoger walking slowly towards the east, with an abacus placed there.

Although choosing to go into business is not the best path, for a child who has just learned to crawl, it is obviously much better than directly choosing rouge.

At least this shows that he is interested in numbers and maybe he will have some business acumen when he grows up.

However, what no one expected was that Baoger did not stop playing with the abacus, but walked over directly, stretched out his small, chubby hand, and grabbed a corner of the blanket.

Then he began his "adventure" journey. He first grabbed the corner and crawled in the other direction, then grabbed the opposite corner. In an instant, the whole venue was covered with various toys.

I saw Baoger holding the two corners of the blanket tightly with his two little hands, pulling with all his strength, trying to control the position change of the entire carpet.

Finally, after some effort, he successfully pulled the big carpet to the feet of the Duchess.

At this moment, Bao Geer looked up at the old woman in front of him and shouted innocently: "Grandma... I want them all!"

The Duke's wife was frightened by the child's sudden action at first, and then she realized: it turned out that this naughty little guy wanted to take away everything here in one go.

"What an ambitious child."

The adults watching on the side couldn't help but sigh.

"Our Bao Ge'er is not only smart but also knows how to take shortcuts. He actually figured out a way to have it all."

Another elder said appreciatively.

"Who would have thought that such a small baby could come up with such a clever idea and be able to move such a large mat."

A young woman was filled with emotion.

"Hahaha, everyone, please stop making things difficult for our lovely Bao Ge'er. Let him happily get everything he wants!"

A cheerful man suggested with a smile.

Everyone present was chatting happily and relaxedly, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Seeing everyone laughing, the Duke's wife laughed so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.

In order to respect Baoger's wish and teach him the correct outlook on life, she instructed her men to sort out the items again, and squatted down and patiently told him that he could only choose one thing to take home.

After hearing this, the smile on Baoger's face gradually disappeared, replaced by unprecedented hesitation and confusion.

Seeing this scene, "Pick out the one you like best, Bao Ge'er."

Fu Yu, who was standing aside, encouraged softly, looking tenderly at the child whose face was full of confusion but still extremely cute.

Baoger looked at Fu Yu and smiled, with a bit of childishness and innocence on his face.

Then he looked around as if searching for something important.

Finally, his eyes were fixed on an inkstone on the ground.

Baoger stumbled onto the carpet and used all his strength to pick up the heavy inkstone. Then he staggered over to Fu Yu and said, panting, "Here you go!"

So it was decided, and Baoger chose the ancient and heavy inkstone as his gift.

Many words of blessing rang out around:

"It seems that our Bao Ge'er will be like his father and take first place in the imperial examination."

An old elder exclaimed with approval in his eyes.

"After all, he is a child of a scholarly family, and his literary talent is passed down."

another guest added, his voice thick with admiration.

Although she was very humble in words, the Duke's wife was full of pride in her heart.

She invited the guests to take their seats with a smile on her face, and cast satisfied glances at others from time to time, obviously approving of her son's choice.

It happened that I received a birthday gift sent in advance by Duke Anguo that day.

The lady took the box, feeling a hint of anticipation.

When she carefully opened the box, what caught her eye was an exquisite little bow and arrow with smooth lines and exquisite craftsmanship.

It is said that this was made by Duke Anguo himself.

The lady was very happy and immediately rewarded the servant who delivered the letter with a generous bonus.

The birthday celebration that night was extremely lively, and every corner of the house was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

After the banquet, the Duke's wife specifically instructed the servants to give the maid Wen Zhu a box of exquisite jewelry as a reward to express her recognition and gratitude for her years of dedicated care for the family.

Wen Zhu knew that this precious gift was actually obtained because of Baoger.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile gently.

Although Baoger was not raised by her, the relationship between the two was extremely close.

Whenever Baoger wanted her to hold him and play with him, he would always call out "Auntie...Auntie..." incoherently.

Although she would not formally call herself aunt, this was enough to make Wen Zhu feel warm in her heart.

In the evening of the next day, Fu Yu returned home from outside, bringing with him a familiar figure - Hong Sheng.

After settling everything, Fu Yu went to take a shower and change clothes, leaving Hong Sheng and Wen Zhu, who looked a little tired but in a good mood, sitting in the living room and chatting.

"Sister," Hong Sheng addressed Wen Zhu affectionately, then took out the carefully prepared items one by one from the small bag he carried with him. "This is a pair of golden bracelets that Dad made specially for Bao Ge'er. Look, there are small lotus pods hanging on them. Just shake them gently and they will make a pleasant sound."

The bracelet displayed by Hong Sheng is exquisitely designed and finely crafted. It is indeed a very suitable gift for children.

He also told Wen Zhu that this was a small item carefully selected and customized by his mother for Baoger; as for the last one, it was a small token of his appreciation that he made by himself, hoping to add more happy time to the lovely Baoger.

Luo made two new sets of clothes for Baoger, choosing the styles and materials very carefully, and the thought behind each stitch could be seen.

Whether it is the color matching or the detailed design, it can reflect Luo's love and expectations for Baoger.

On the other hand, Hong Sheng gave Bao Ge'er a small wooden sword that he made himself.
