Chapter 229 Trying Children (Part [-])

"Yes, county lord."

Yuzhu took the list, looked down, and saw that the names crossed out by Xiao Nan were basically relatives who had not been in touch with the Cui family for many years, and they did not live in the capital now. Nan did not come to the evening ceremony, and it is estimated that he would not attend Cui Lingxi's first birthday party.

He told Yu Zhu about the details of the banquet, and after half an hour, Xiao Nan returned to the main room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Cui Dazheng amusing his daughter with some scrolls, calligraphy and paintings.

Xiao Nan was puzzled, and asked curiously: "Mr. Lang, Ah Yuan is still young, how does she understand this?"

Cui Da was full of interest, and said with a smile: "My lady forgot, it will be A Yuan's first birthday banquet in a few days. According to the custom, Zhou Shier will be caught at the first birthday banquet. I don't know what this girl will catch. Let me first Give her some homework ahead of time."

Xiao Nan shook his head amusedly, Cui Da is not doing his homework, he is clearly helping his daughter to cheat in advance.

Sitting beside Cui Da with great effort, Xiao Nan said: "This one-year-old test is just for auspiciousness, how can it be taken seriously."

Cui Da did not agree, and said with a serious face: "Why don't you take it seriously? When I was catching Zhou, I grabbed Aye's inkstone with one hand and A Weng's handwriting with the other. I will love writing and ink when I grow up. Grandma I said before, this education should be started from the baby." If the child does not teach, she will not know what is good or bad. As a competent father, he must guide his daughter to choose the right path of life. It is said that this is what A Niang did back then. .

It was rare for Xiao Nan to hear a "famous saying" from her grandma, and she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth a few times. She looked at a hollowed-out golden ball her daughter was holding in her arms, and said uncertainly: "I heard people say that children like it. Things with bright colors, but the calligraphy, brush and ink are not eye-catching."

It is said that Brother Bao's grasping for rouge is definitely not due to his nature. Who made the rouge box so exquisite and bright.

It's not a baby wearing a baby, how can it be so 'precocious'?
Hearing this, Cui Dayi felt complacent again. He unfolded a picture scroll, on which was a picture of rich and noble peonies, red or pink flowers, green or green leaves, and colorful butterflies flying among the flowers. ... The entire drawing paper is brightly colored, and there is a faint fragrance when you smell it closely.

Xiao Nan understood a little bit, she pointed to this picture scroll, "Mr., this, this picture scroll—" Have you done something wrong? !At least something was added to the paint, otherwise how could ordinary paint emit such a sweet fragrance?
Before Cui Da responded, Cui Lingxi's children's shoes had already given the answer. She threw away the golden ball in her hand, and using all four limbs, she quickly crawled towards Cui Da, oh no, more precisely, it was the scroll in Cui Da's hand.

"Ahhh!"

The little hand pulled Cui Da's sleeve vigorously, and the little girl's chubby face had two big characters written brightly - I want it.

Well, it seems that Cui Da's homework has been quite successful, and he has successfully shifted the little girl's attention to the picture scroll.

Xiao Nan gave a thumbs up in admiration, and praised: "Mr. Lang is really thoughtful, I admire you!"

In fact, it's not that Xiao Nan has never thought about giving his daughter a pre-training, after all, grasping paper, pen and ruler is definitely much better than grasping rouge and gouache.

It's just that later I thought that no matter how talented my daughter is, she will marry and become a wife in the future. Whether it's painting or calligraphy, after she has children, these talents will also be shelved.

As for talented women, Xiao Nan didn't want his daughter to do it. In this day and age, although the restrictions on women are not so perverted, most of the women who are famous for their talents are female crowns or prostitutes. To be honest, they are not good women from good families.

It is the grandson of the empress of the ages, and the world praises her more as a 'virtuous' and 'reasonable' rather than a 'talented woman'.

However, seeing Cui Da being so caring, Xiao Nan also suddenly figured it out: No matter what to do in the future, Zhou Zhou is the first time in her daughter's life. As parents, they have the responsibility to make their daughter have a good image in front of the world. .

"Hehe, my lady is absurd."

Seeing that Xiao Nan was also actively participating, Cui Da became more interested, and the husband and wife planned to guide their daughter on how to catch the week.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, October [-]th is the auspicious day for Cui Lingxi's birthday party.

Early in the morning, Xiao Nan got up, and ordered the nanny to change Lingxi into a festive red dress embroidered with gold. There was a golden gold collar hanging on her fat and folded neck, and her chubby little hands wore bright gold bracelet.

When Yulan was dressing Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan also dipped some rouge with his fingers, and put a little red dot on the center of his daughter's eyebrows, which made the little girl white, fat and cute. At first glance, he thought it was the girl in front of the Guanyin Seat. The golden boy and the jade girl descended to the mortal world.

The nanny, Fang Shi, even praised Cui Lingxi without saying a word, and only praised Cui Lingxi as the reincarnation of the soul boy and the descending of a fairy.

Xiao Nan laughed and shook her head, but she didn't interrupt Fang's flattery, since today is her daughter's full Sunday, a few more compliments would be a good start.

After a while, Xiao Nan tidied up and led a large group of maids and maids to the Rongshou Hall.

After seeing the old lady, the old lady hugged Xiao Lingxi and made out for a long time, and then she began to prepare to welcome guests.

Before noon, all the guests who had received the invitation arrived at the scene, and all the female relatives gathered in the main hall of Weiwei Courtyard, chatting together in small groups.

"My lady, the auspicious time has come, should I start to catch the weekly test?"

Yuhan looked at the hourglass and reminded in a low voice.

"Okay, let the wet nurse bring Lingxi, and tell the subordinates to arrange the things."

Xiao Nan looked at the female guests present, nodded in response, and then said to Yuzhu: "The male guests at the main hall are also entertained, let Hanmo 'serve' a good gentleman, you understand?"

"Yes, maidservant understands."

Yuzhu heard the deep meaning in Xiao Nan's words, she knew that Xiao Nan was worried that someone would take advantage of the little lady to catch the Zhou banquet, so she hurriedly agreed, as if promising to say: "Don't worry, lady, the servant girl at the main hall will also arrange Well, no one will disturb the distinguished guests."

Xiao Nan nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, the servants had already brought over a piece of lichen embroidered with bright red and gold patterns, and placed it carefully in the center of the hall, and several servant girls held various objects and placed them on the lichen one by one.

The nurse came over with Lingxi in her arms, and after asking Xiao Nan about the ceremony, she put Lingxi in the middle of the lichen.

Xiao Nan bulged his stomach, unable to squat down at all, so he bowed slightly, and said softly to his daughter, "Ah Yuan, there are so many good things here, which one do you like? Take whichever one you like."

Seeing so many people suddenly, Lingxi was a little dazed for a while, her two big eyes turned and turned, and finally fixed on Xiao Nan.

Seeing the familiar A Niang, Lingxi clapped her little hands and yelled, "Liang, A Liang."

The corner of Xiao Nan's mouth twitched, Liang?After teaching this little guy for a few months, she just gave herself such an answer, which is really annoying.

Resisting the desire to reach out and knock her, Xiao Nan pulled a smile and continued to coax: "A Yuan, it's A Niang, and A Niang is here. Take a look at these first, they are all good things, which one do you like? Hmm ?”

"Liang," A Yuan showed no interest in the object in front of him, grinned his small mouth, showing two small white teeth, and called mother cheerfully.

I know I'm your mother, but you little bastard, catch something for me.

Xiao Nan really wanted to cry up to the sky, and she felt that some of the female guests behind her had already burst out laughing.

The nurse was also in a hurry, she knelt aside, pushed a small black lacquered mother-of-pearl box on the lichen, and urged in a low voice: "Little lady, there are so many good things, you can grab whichever you like, hurry up!" ah."

After coaxing for a while, Cui Lingxi finally got over the addiction of calling 'liang', turned over, changed from sitting to prone, crawled forward a few steps, and grabbed a red-painted ruler.

"Oh, the little lady grabbed the ruler, she must be a skillful hand in the future—"

Before everyone finished their auspicious words, Cui Lingxi threw the ruler aside with a wave of her hand.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the little guy changed from a prone position to a sitting position, with his hands stretched beside him, and he raised his hand to pick up a jade seal.

"Ouch, the little lady grabbed the seal, in the future it will be—"

Pa, Cui Lingxi threw the seal aside again.

Everyone pursed their mouths. After participating in so many Zhou Zhou feasts, it's really rare to see someone as 'lively' as Cui Lingxi.

Xiao Nan was also a little speechless. In order to make her daughter look better when she was caught, the husband and wife worked hard to train her for several days.During the training, this little guy behaved very well, and caught the auspicious objects exactly according to the wishes of the couple. Today is the right day, why did she lose the chain.

The little guy didn't know the depression in his mother's heart. At this moment, she discovered a fun game, which was to keep picking up things around her, putting them in her mouth or in front of her eyes for a while, and then throwing them away.

After doing this for N times, everyone couldn't help raising their heads, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and silently complained in their hearts: What kind of child is this?

Finally, before Xiao Nan broke out, Cui Lingxi finally stopped this game. She climbed back on the lichen again, twisted the little PP, and crawled to the front of a yellow scroll. The painting scroll was held in his arms.

Just when everyone thought that the girl was going to throw things out again, the little girl turned around and crawled towards Xiao Nan. When she came to Xiao Nan, the little girl dragged the scroll with her hands as if to fortify it to Xiao Nan.

huh~~~
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and began to say auspicious words one after another. The little lady holding the scroll in her hand will definitely be Master Danqing in the future. Although the little lady is young, she knows how to be filial to her mother...

After catching one, Xiao Nan hurriedly ordered someone to put away the scroll, and put Xiao Lingxi back on the lichen, and asked her to catch another one.

This time it went well, Lingxi grabbed a box of Zihao pens.

Everyone praised again.

After some excitement, the hall finally had the atmosphere of catching the Zhou banquet.

At this moment, Yuzhu walked over with a strange face, and whispered in Xiao Nan's ear:
"Princess, Lord Lu and the young lady of the Lu family came to visit the old lady. They have already arrived in the courtyard... They came with luggage and servants... Do you think?"

The young lady of the Lu family?That is Cui Da's cousin?
