Chapter 206 Dou Duoduo
"So, you recognize him!" Zhu Mingqing said with certainty.
Old Prince Luo wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said seriously, "Of course I recognize him. I remember the names of every member of the Luo Family Army."
Zhu Mingqing kept a close eye on the other person's expression: "Then he is still alive, did you know?"
Old Prince Luo's eyelids moved uncontrollably, and he uttered the answer that had been agreed upon long ago: "I know."
"Where's Feng Yu beside him?" Zhu Mingqing asked, "Do you know about him too?"
Old Prince Luo lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea. The little finger on the porcelain cup trembled inadvertently, but soon calmed down.
These subconscious little movements all show that his heart is not as calm as he appears on the surface.
Even lying.
"Feng Yu is also a soldier of the Luo family. He used to be Tingshan's military advisor. But now..." He sighed deeply, "he can only sit in a wheelchair and spend the rest of his life."
As he said this, he tried hard to control his trembling voice, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Zhu Mingqing's expression changed slightly, and he said a few words to comfort her without asking any further questions.
We can get some answers from the conversation just now.
For example, Feng Yu must have consulted Prince Luo and prepared appropriate answers to her questions today.
No other results were found by asking further.
She wanted to ask Luo Huai in person, but the child would never say anything he didn't want to say.
It seems that we can only start with Jiang Feng and Feng Yu.
"Madam, it's time." Hongmei came over and knocked on the door.
There are now many guests coming to the front yard of Luo's house, and Luo Huai is leading people to greet them in front.
As the patriarchs of the family, Prince Luo and Zhu Mingqing attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared, especially the latter.
Some people had seen her before, but some were seeing the former general's wife for the first time and did not expect her to be so outstanding in appearance.
The young girls looked up at her from time to time, whispered about this, and showed envy on their faces.
Some ladies looked at each other and decided to ask about maintenance methods after the banquet.
But most of the discussion was about the people present today. At the last table, the following conversation took place between two ladies:
"That must be the wife of the prefect and the wife of the magistrate, they are here."
"What's the big deal? The two adults are next door too."
"Didn't the Luo family get banished here? How could they be so powerful?"
"What's the big deal? That night, Huaxiang Tower held a banquet, and all the dignitaries in Guancheng attended. I heard that the Luo family has an extraordinary background."
"Hiss—I can't offend you."
This speech spread quickly. No matter what the people present thought in their hearts, they all looked friendly and smiled even more as they ate the delicious food from Huaxianglou.
The little grape in the middle was taken out. It was white and tender, with big round eyes, which made people jealous.
"Madam Zhu, you guys really know how to raise a child," the prefect's wife praised. "Look at these chubby little arms and legs. You can tell at a glance that this is a healthy and strong child."
Wu Yunyun smiled happily while holding the child. Zhu Mingqing also said, "The child has a good appetite and slept through the night. He didn't cause us any trouble at all."
I used to see online that newborn babies woke up crying in the middle of the night, tormenting their mothers so much that they couldn’t get a full night’s sleep.
Their little Grape has come to repay her gratitude, and even the nanny who takes care of her is in good spirits on weekdays.
Mrs. Wang helped to greet some guests who came over. Looking at the little girl who was now awake, she asked curiously, "What's the child's name?"
Zhu Mingqing was very calm: "Zhu Weilu."
Mrs. Wang was startled. "With your last name?"
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly: "Yes, after all, she is the first granddaughter and has the same last name as me."
The guests around also heard this and looked over in surprise.
It was the first time that the family saw a granddaughter taking her grandmother's surname, and they all agreed. Looking at Old Prince Luo, he also had no objection.
Everyone understands this.
This lady of the house is truly the boss.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Well, the auspicious time has arrived, let's get started."
The baby’s third-day bath was on the way, so we held it at the same time as the full-moon banquet.
The first thing was to worship and pray. Mrs. Wang found a famous midwife in Guancheng to preside over the ceremony, and the Luo family offered sacrifices to thirteen gods including Bixia Yuanjun and Cuisheng Niangniang.
This was also Zhu Mingqing's first time to participate in such an activity with a strong sense of ancient ritual. He felt it was novel and sacred.
During the worship, she looked up at the others. The atmosphere was solemn, but joyful.
The second step is to add a basin. The midwife holds the baby and bathes him, chanting as she washes him: "Wash the head first, and you will become a king; wash the waist later, and each generation will be taller than the previous one..."
Other guests also came forward and placed the gifts and gold and silver they brought into the copper basin beside them.
After washing, the child was wrapped up immediately. During the whole process, Little Grape did not make any noise or cry, but opened his big watery eyes curiously.
"You have to stop crying." After saying that, he slapped the child's butt three times with a green onion to represent the child's cleverness.
The next step is to light the moxa ball, use ginger slices as a support, and fumigate the child's forehead to complete the third day of bathing smoothly.
As for the full-moon banquet, all guests are served with full-moon wine, and the barber shaves the baby's hair, and all the rituals involving Little Grape are completed.
"Mom, I'll take the child in first." Wu Yunyun was worried that the child must be hungry after so much trouble.
Zhu Mingqing: "Go back and have a good rest. You don't need to come out again. I'll have the meal delivered to you from the kitchen later."
Next came the lively full-moon banquet, and there were no other twists and turns in the middle. By the time everything was over and we had dealt with the various maintenance issues of the ladies, it was already 3 p.m.
After seeing off all the guests, Zhu Mingqing went straight back to his room. It was too tiring to host a banquet.
We have to train Wu Yunyun in the future.
After washing and changing her clothes, she brought a plate of fruit and placed it next to the couch. She lay lazily on the couch and read a book about this dynasty.
An hour later, Fen Tao pushed the door open and walked in: "Madam, Guard Wu Xing has brought people here and is waiting in the side yard."
Zhu Mingqing stretched and sighed, "This day is so tiring."
Fen Tao smiled and said, "Life is much easier now than it was in the palace. Madam, are you still tired?"
Zhu Mingqing snorted: "You don't understand."
Pink Peach's face was full of confusion.
"As the saying goes, it's easy to go from thriftiness to extravagance, but it's hard to go from extravagance to thriftiness." Zhu Mingqing put on his coat, straightened his hair, and walked out. "The same principle applies to leisure and busyness."
In my previous life, I was constantly on missions, and now I’m on the road all the time.
After finally being able to slow down, we still have to worry about the unrest in a few years.
Otherwise, she would have lay down and motionless!
Side yard room.
Wu Xing looked at his junior brother sitting upright opposite him and felt a headache: "Relax, Madam Zhu is a very good person. As long as you have the real talent, she will definitely let you into the palace."
Dou Duoduo was a little nervous again and kept drinking water: "What if I can't stay?"
Wu Xing promised: "Then I will take care of you."
"Okay!" Dou Duoduo was no longer nervous.
