Chapter 27 Full Moon Party

"Yier, I came to see you today and I want to tell you something. Our Zhenzhen is about to turn one month old. I plan not to hold a big full moon party for Zhenzhen. We will just have a family dinner together and let the old lady bring Zhenzhen to show up. It's not that I don't value Zhenzhen, but our Sheng Mansion has been at the center of controversy these days and it's not appropriate to attract too much attention. So I'm sorry for Zhenzhen. I'll put a heavy longevity lock on Zhenzhen and wish him good health. , and a smooth life.

" Mingxi didn't care how many people Zhenzhen invited to the full-month party, and she didn't care about it. It was just that Zhenzhen didn't have a name yet. "It's good for the family to have a good time together at the full-month party. Zhenzhen wouldn't be able to adapt if there were too many people. But Zhenzhen didn't have a name yet. I wonder if the master..."

Sheng Hong seemed to have just remembered and interrupted Mingxi, "I have thought of a name for Zhenzhen, and I came here today to tell you."

Mingxi looked expectant, "What name did the master give Zhenzhen?"

"Chang Zhang! The camphor tree is the pillar of the country. I hope that our Zhen Zhen can be like the camphor tree, strong and noble, and grow up to be a gentleman, loyal to the country and dedicated to the family!"

Mingxi savored the name carefully, and it was okay. In fact, she liked the name "Chang Wu" very much, but Chang Wu was born first and took this name. Mingxi thought about the tree next to the "wood" character, and Chang Zhang was really good, the pillar of the country, good!

"The master has chosen a good name, I'm sure Zhen Zhen will like it." Sheng Hong was even happier to see that Mingxi was also satisfied.

After leaving Mingxi, Sheng Hong went to find the old lady again. After all, Zhen Zhen was now being raised by the old lady, and Zhen Zhen's full moon wine still needed to be informed to the old lady.

It was a coincidence that Sheng Hong arrived as Zhenzhen was not asleep. Minglan and the old lady were each guarding one side of Zhenzhen's crib and trying to make him laugh. When they saw Sheng Hong coming, they waved at him and asked him to look at Zhenzhen. As soon as Sheng Hong's face appeared above Zhenzhen's sight, Zhenzhen grinned and giggled. This laugh made everyone laugh. Sheng Hong was very happy as his youngest son liked him.

Sheng Hong reached out and picked up Zhenzhen, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's quite heavy!"

Minglan laughed, "Daddy, you don't know, Zhenzhen is either eating or sleeping all day long. When Zhenzhen was taking a bath, I saw his arms, which were like lotus roots, one after another, and his little hands were chubby. Grandmother and Fang Mama said that babies should be chubby."

Sheng Hong weighed Zhenzhen up and down and said, "It's better to be firmer, firmer! Thanks to mother "Thank you for taking good care of Zhenzhen!"

The old lady was also grinning from ear to ear. Since Zhenzhen came here, this courtyard is no longer quiet. Now she can eat half a bowl of rice more every day, because she has to hold Zhenzhen sometimes. She also deliberately takes good care of her body. Now her body is much stronger than when Zhenzhen was not around. It's all thanks to Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen is her lucky star. She must raise her Zhenzhen to be plump and white.

"Zhenzhen is well-behaved, easy to take care of and raise!" The old lady smiled when she mentioned Zhenzhen, and she was not stingy with her love for Zhenzhen.

Sheng Hong held Zhenzhen in his arms and walked around, making Zhenzhen laugh all the time. "Mother, I came here today to discuss Zhenzhen's full-month banquet with you."

The old lady obviously had her own ideas about Zhenzhen's full-month banquet. She pondered for a moment and said, "Grandpa, I'm not saying this because I don't love Zhenzhen, but I've been busy lately. Zhenzhen's full-month banquet is not a good time for our Sheng Mansion to hold a banquet. What I mean is that we might as well wait until she's one year old to hold a good one-month banquet for Zhenzhen." "We can have a full-month banquet and a full-month banquet

together." Sheng Hong listened to the old lady and nodded, "Mother and I have the same idea. I also plan to have a simple full-month banquet for Zhenzhen. I will choose a name for Zhenzhen and send it to cousin Wei with her birthday, so that he can record it in the family tree for me. But there is one more thing I need to ask mother. Should Zhenzhen still be recorded under the name of Wei?"

"I have thought about this question as well. Since Zhenzhen was raised by me, I naturally hope that he will have a good future. It stands to reason that it would be better if he is under the name of his stepmother, but Zhenzhen is a boy after all, and he will have to divide the family property in the future. If he is registered under the name of the eldest lady, she will definitely not agree. Moreover, we also have to consider the opinion of Zhenzhen's biological mother, Wei. I am afraid that in the end, it will still be under Wei's name."

Sheng Hong did not consider this level. Regardless of whether they were legitimate sons or illegitimate sons, they were all his sons. But if the eldest lady disagreed, he could not force her to go, but he still asked the old lady unwillingly, "Why don't I go and ask the eldest lady to see if she agrees?"

The old lady felt that Sheng Hong was not willing to give in. She would probably be scolded by the Madam, who might even blame her and Zhenzhen. The Madam already had a son and a daughter, so there was no need to register a bastard under her name. So the old lady shook her head at Sheng Hong, "It's better not to go. The Madam has both sons and daughters, and Wei is also living well. If you register Zhenzhen under the Madam's name, people who know will say you want to raise a bastard, and people who don't know will think you don't care about the Madam's child. Don't be unhappy with the Madam for this matter, we will just happily hold a full-month banquet for Zhenzhen."

Sheng Hong listened to the old lady's opinion and did not tell the Madam about the registration. He only said that he wanted to hold a simple full-month banquet for Zhenzhen and asked the Madam to take care of it. The Madam readily agreed.

The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is a good time to celebrate all kinds of things.

Early in the morning, the old lady was busy in the courtyard. Zhenzhen was dressed up, wearing a red blouse, tiger-head shoes and a tiger-head hat. The tiger eyes embroidered on the toe of the shoe were bright and sharp, while the tiger head on the tiger-head hat was cute. There were silver bells and other decorations on the back of the hat, symbolizing the tiger's tail and peace; there were two small straps on both sides to fix the hat, which meant to ward off evil and drive away disasters.

The old lady loved the refreshed Zhenzhen and held her in her arms and refused to let go. It was the room nanny who reminded her that they had to take her to the main courtyard quickly because there was still a ceremony. Then everyone helped the old lady to the main courtyard, and the nanny also wrapped Zhenzhen tightly in a thick blanket and followed.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, everyone in the family was there, waiting for Zhenzhen, the protagonist. A long table with a wash basin on it had been set up in the main courtyard. Mingxi also came. She wrapped herself in a thick cloak and stood in a sheltered area, following the movements of Zhenzhen in the arms of the nanny. She didn't want to miss Zhenzhen's important moments, so even though she was still weak, she forced herself to come.

Mother Fang walked to the table and announced the official start of the full moon wine celebration ceremony. The first item: bathing and changing clothes, which meant washing away dust and welcoming a new life. The nurse carried Zhenzhen to the long table, and two maids poured hot water and cold water into the basin to adjust the water to a suitable temperature. The nurse took off one of Zhenzhen's shoes and socks, scooped up a handful of water and poured it under Zhenzhen's feet. Mother Fang sang "Clean water washes away dust and dirt, and evil spirits dare not approach". After Mother Fang finished singing, a maid next to the nurse quickly took a handkerchief to wipe Zhenzhen's feet, and another maid cooperated with the nurse to put the shoes and socks back on Zhenzhen. In the cold winter, it was impossible to take off Zhenzhen's clothes and wash her whole body, so she washed her feet instead.

Mother Fang saw that this was over, and then started the second item: blessing and wishing. The family members expressed their good wishes and expectations to Zhenzhen in turn, praying that Zhenzhen would grow up healthily and safely.

The old lady smiled and wished Zhenzhen "The first cry of the baby brings joy to the family. May this baby be blessed with longevity and good fortune!"

"Good!" Everyone cheered.

Sheng Hong followed the old lady and said, "A new baby comes into the family, and the family is filled with auspiciousness. May this baby be talented and intelligent."

The lady smiled and said, "Congratulations on the new baby, may the blessings last forever."

Mingxi came to her. She looked at Zhenzhen and kept saying a long list of blessings in her heart. When she came to her mouth, she only said "I wish the Seventh Young Master a long and healthy life!" When

it came to the younger generation, they were not as formal as the elders. The brothers and sisters gave all the blessings they could think of to Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen also gave face and kept giggling at the people in the yard.

Mother Fang looked at the young girls and young masters who were always lively. While everyone was thinking about the blessings, she quickly moved on to the next item. Otherwise, if the brothers and sisters continued to speak, they would have to wait until dark. The

third item: giving gifts, relatives gave Zhenzhen gifts of their hearts, implying good luck and longevity.

The old lady gave Zhenzhen a beautiful gold necklace, Sheng Hong gave her a heavy longevity lock, the eldest lady gave her a pair of small gold bracelets, Mingxi made a small golden pig for Zhenzhen, Mingxi remembered that Zhenzhen looked like a pig when she slept on her stomach, so she asked the goldsmith to make this. Hualan

gave her a pair of golden bells hanging on her feet, Changbai gave Zhenzhen the four treasures of the study, Changfeng collected a bunch of small toys that children like to play with from the market, and Molan was very special. She gave Zhenzhen a handwritten Buddhist scripture and prayed for Zhenzhen's safety. Mingxi saw the gift from Molan and looked at her deeply, and Rulan gave Zhenzhen twenty taels of silver, saying that she would keep it for Zhenzhen and buy whatever he wanted when he grew up.

Minglan prepared the most. She prepared two sets of clothes for Zhenzhen, as well as a small purse, a small shoulder bag, a small school bag, a small pen holder... Everything she thought Zhenzhen could use in the future, she made a miniature version of it and gave it to Zhenzhen. Everyone was amused by Minglan's thoughtfulness, and Zhenzhen reached out to her sister for a hug.

After everyone was excited for a while, Madam Fang announced the fourth item of the celebration: naming. Sheng Hong walked to the front of the stage and said some words about the family gathering together to celebrate Zhenzhen's full moon. Finally, he announced that Zhenzhen's full name was "Sheng Changzhang" and said that he had written to Sheng Wei, asking him to put Zhenzhen on the family tree. Zhenzhen is the legitimate seventh young master of the family.
