Chapter 298 The excitement of the full moon banquet!
When little Tuanzi was one month old, the Gu family held a grand full-moon banquet for her.
Almost all the noble families in the capital came. Not to mention the face of the Princess's Mansion, Gu Shi, Gu Ting, and Gu Jinghuai were all officials in the court, so naturally they had some interactions.
Besides, Qin Zhizhi is now the county lady appointed by the emperor. No banquet was held at that time, so she naturally has to be present at the full moon banquet this time.
Moreover, there is the relationship with the Qin family, so this full moon banquet can be said to be extremely grand.
The full moon banquet was held before the New Year, and everyone from the Qin family came, including those who were working on the road construction and rushed back.
All the people from the eldest and second uncle's families were present, and in their eyes this was a big event.
Especially when Qin Zhizhi gave birth, Old Man Qin and his brothers kowtowed in the ancestral hall.
Later, Qin Zhizhi gave birth to a daughter safely, and they were even more convinced that it was her father who blessed Zhizhi.
Now it is the full moon banquet for the child blessed by his father. Nothing is more important than this. The presence of all the Qin family members is a sign of faith and the importance they attach to the full moon banquet.
It is a selfless gratitude to Qin Zhizhi and a good blessing for the child's future.
After Qin Zhizhi discussed with Mrs. Qin, they invited everyone from Qinjia Village, whether they were working on the farm, on the construction team, or working in the shop.
There was no need to bring any gifts, they just came to have a meal. Because the clan leader learned that Qin Zhizhi had given birth to a daughter, he specially came to the capital with the whole village's thoughts and wishes.
The weather was already a little cold at this time, but no one could persuade the patriarch's warm heart.
The people of Qinjia Village were worried, so they specially sent a few people to escort the patriarch.
This banquet was jointly organized by the Princess and Mrs. Mu, and they gave 100% attention to the visitors from Qinjia Village.
On the day of the full moon banquet.
Everyone in Qinjia Village started from the Qin family and went to the Gu family as their mother's family members.
The gift that Gu Nian brought for little Tuanzi shocked everyone.
Gu Jinghuai and Qin Zhizhi named their daughter Gu Nian. They will never forget the happy times in Qinjia Village. They are grateful for the kindness of their wife and the Qin family, and they want to make the present better.
In fact, Gu Jinghuai privately felt that if he kept thinking about something, there would definitely be a response, and he was grateful that Qin Zhizhi chose him.
No one else in the Gu family had any objection to the little girl's name. Gu Shi just expressed a small opinion and was then criticized by the old lady.
"Jing Huai is the top scholar, so his name is the best. If you have any complaints, keep them to yourself. How come my eldest grandson's top scholar talent is not as good as yours, a third scholar?"
Gu Shi felt that he shouldn't speak, and it was his mother who asked if she had any objections. He said that it was his mother who scolded him. Gu Shi felt wronged but didn't say anything.
Many people in Qinjia Village were visiting the Gu family for the first time. The exquisiteness of the house made everyone sigh in amazement, and it was worthy of being the favored Gu family.
When Qin Qingyuan got married, many of them did not come to Gu's house. When they saw them today, they suddenly felt that they had broadened their horizons.
The Qin family came early today, but the road in front of the Gu family mansion was still crowded.
Many ladies and young ladies arrived very early. Fortunately, the Gu family's housekeeper was experienced and had arranged people to direct the carriages at the door early on.
They all had experience from the last princess's wedding, and after a brief congestion, the carriages were quickly cleared and arranged.
Originally, Gu Jinghuai was welcoming guests at the door, but seeing that there were so many people, the old lady asked Gu Ting and Gu Shi to go and help as well.
Gu Jingshu and Gu Yunlang also went to help.
The man was taken to the front hall of the banquet, and the young lady and the wife were taken to the backyard of the Gu Mansion.
The eldest princess, Gu Yunfei and Mrs. Mu were there to help with the reception.
Some people who had a good relationship with Qin Zhizhi went directly to Qin Zhizhi's yard to see the child.
Even Madam Gu helped with the reception today.
Although Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun were from the mother's family, they were both in the officialdom and since it was a matter concerning the sister's family, they took the initiative to help entertain the guests in the front hall.
The gifts brought by the guests were even more rare and bizarre. When Qin Zhizhi brought the child out to show the ladies, the little girl didn't cry or make a fuss, but smiled happily.
The ladies were so happy with the little dumpling that they kept praising it.
Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Wang each put a longevity lock on the little girl, especially Mrs. Qin's lock. Qin Zhizhi was really afraid that her daughter's neck would be broken if she put it on.
As an aunt, Gu Yunfei gave a valuable piece of warm jade, which made the young ladies and ladies envious.
That warm jade was a tribute from another country to the imperial court. The emperor loved Gu Yunfei so much that he gave the whole piece to his niece Gu Yunfei.
This time, Gu Yunfei asked a craftsman to make a piece of warm jade suitable for Xiaotuanzi to wear, and gave it to her specially on the full moon day.
Wang Xinru was even more exaggerated and directly gave Xiaotuanzi a precious crystal.
The crystal was actually purple, and was bought by Wang Xinru when she went out with Mr. Wang on business.
Crystal was not popular in that era, but Qin Zhizhi knew its uses and was extremely happy.
When Wang Xinru saw Qin Zhizhi staring at the crystal she had given her with shining eyes, she knew that this was the right gift and there might be business opportunities.
Not only did the guests bring gifts, but the eldest princess and Gu Ting and others also gave a lot of good things.
The eldest princess also gave a few farms to Xiaotuanzi.
So he was born in Rome, and the gifts he received during the full moon alone were enough for him to eat and drink for half his life.
The Queen Mother also gave a lot of good things as rewards, which were delivered by the Prince himself, and he also came to celebrate the full moon.
In Kyoto, Gu Nian and Xiaotuanzi's good background would at most be praised as a lucky person, but everyone envied her at the full moon banquet.
The banquet was separate, with men and women sitting at separate tables.
The Qin family was a little restrained at first, but the Gu family treated them as honored guests and looked up to them, so naturally, no one else dared to act rashly.
Gu Jinghuai was worried that his daughter would make trouble for Qin Zhizhi, so he held the child himself.
He usually spends more time with his daughter, and she doesn't cry or make a fuss when she's with him, which makes others marvel at her.
They never dreamed that Gu Zhuangyuan, who was so talented in literature, would be so good at raising children.
Especially the prince's words: "Gu Zhuangyuan is a model in the capital."
Everyone was unsure of what the prince meant, whether he was praising Gu Jinghuai or trying to manipulate him.
Gu Jinghuai calmly thanked him, "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. I believe that Your Highness will be better than me in the future!"
"Of course, how could this prince be worse than you!" The prince's words shocked everyone.
Now they were sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not playing tricks on the number one scholar, but was praising him.
After Gu Nian’s full-moon banquet, the children of the aristocratic families in the capital also regarded raising children as a laudatory thing, and they began to learn from Gu Jinghuai consciously or unconsciously.
The situation was much simpler for the female guests. The child was taken away by Gu Jinghuai, and Qin Zhizhi felt much more relaxed. The ladies looked at other people's husbands and then at their own husbands, and were filled with envy.
I have no chance, but my daughters still have. I think of Qin Qingyuan's love for the princess after they got married.
Looking at the young master of the Qin family who was already engaged, he could only set his sights on Gu Yunlang, Qin Qinghui and Gu Jingshu.
They decided to prepare early and try to grab one.
