Chapter 386 Nangong Xiulan's Apprentice
But after he left, everyone quickly forgot about this little episode and surrounded Yao Jia and Xing Xing, asking about their well-being.
With the arrival of this little life, the entire Nangong Mansion was immersed in joy and happiness.
Nangong Xiu Lan, Shuang Hua, Ming Jue, and Gu Xiyan all put down what they were doing and stayed at the mansion.
In fact, they don't need so many people, but they still insist on doing so, saying that since the Chinese New Year is approaching, they can just take the annual leave in advance.
Gu Xiyan was afraid that it would delay the shipbuilding process, so he asked Castle Master Gu to keep an eye on it.
During Yao Jia's confinement period, because Xingxing didn't drink much milk and she felt that the amount of milk was enough for her, she didn't let Bai Huahua hire another wet nurse.
But before I could even finish the confinement period, I started to regret it.
The reason was that the little girl disturbed her sleep at night.
"Feeding once an hour is really too exhausting."
Bai Huahua then asked the wet nurse she had previously seen to go back, and asked the female doctor from Mingjue Clinic to examine the baby's body and start taking care of the baby at night.
When Yaojia came out of confinement, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Xingxing was dressed in a festive little red bellyband with a red dot on her forehead, making her look particularly cute and festive.
The Nangong Mansion was decorated with lanterns and red silks, creating a festive atmosphere.
Surrounded by the crowd, Yao Jia, holding little Xingxing wrapped in a cotton coat, took the first step towards freedom.
Her complexion has recovered well and she looks radiant. Except that she is a little fatter than before, her appearance is basically the same as before.
"Look, how beautiful our little star is!"
Lin Congmo was the first to step forward, took Little Xingxing from Yao Jia's arms, and held her carefully, his eyes full of love.
"Yes, our little baby is the apple of our eyes!"
Xuanying also agreed with a smile, his eyes falling gently on Xiao Xingxing.
Su Mu joked, "That's good. Our Nangong Mansion will be more lively from now on. Xingxing, I'm your grandpa. Call me grandpa."
"As long as the teeth can grow out, let him speak. And the first thing you have to do is call me grandpa."
Lin Congmo finished speaking and waved his hand.
Lin Zhong came over with a tray.
When everyone looked closely, they saw an exquisite tiger-head hat and a pair of small tiger-head shoes on it.
Yao Jia looked at Nangong Xiu Lan, "Did you find time to do this again?"
Before the Chinese New Year last year, these people in the mansion disappeared. When Yao Jia went to Nangong Xiu Lan's room to wait for him, she found out that the person who had given her the tiger-head hat every year for many years was him.
This is also why she did not receive the tiger-head hat when she learned martial arts in Mingyang Mountain.
He was stupid at that time, so he naturally wouldn't do it.
Nangong Xiu Lan smiled and nodded, and was about to help Xingxing put on her clothes, but she found that the shoes and hats on the tray were more finely made.
"Father, is this the one I gave you at first?"
"Why not? I have kept it well since you gave it to me. What's wrong with that?" Lin Congmo looked at the exquisite pair of shoes and hat with eyes full of approval.
"nothing."
Although Nangong Xiu Lan was confused, he couldn't imagine who would be so bored as to change this.
After dressing Xingxing in New Year outfits, everyone sat together and had the reunion dinner.
During this time, a boy of five or six years old, dressed in snow-white clothes, walked past the crowd to Yao Jia and bowed to her respectfully.
He said crisply, "Disciple, Fang Yannian, greets the Master's wife."
"Are you the disciple accepted by the Great Sima Ming?"
"Madam, it is my little disciple."
Yao Jia looked at his serious appearance and couldn't help laughing. He was worthy of being the disciple chosen by Nangong Xiu Lan. His words and actions were exactly the same as his.
During the confinement period, Yao Jia could always hear the sound of children reciting lessons outside the window.
After asking Nangong Xiu Lan, I found out that he was worried that Fang Yannian would fall behind in his studies during the time he was back, so he brought him back with him.
Yao Jia stood up and helped the little kid up with a loving look on her face.
"Good boy, sit down quickly and don't be so reserved. I heard from your master that you are very smart. In just half a year, you have memorized a volume of Star Formula. Your master is full of praise for you."
Fang Yannian lowered his head slightly, a blush appearing on his cheeks, obviously a little embarrassed by Yao Jia's praise.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master's wife. I need to work harder to live up to your expectations."
Nangong Xiu Lan watched this scene from the side, feeling very relieved.
Time flies, and little Xingxing is already a hundred days old. According to the customs of Daxia, a grand hundred-day banquet will be held for little Xingxing on this day.
The Nangong Mansion was busy again. The decorations inside the mansion were more festive than during the Chinese New Year. Red silk, lanterns, and flowers made the mansion look like a fairyland.
Guests came in an endless stream, congratulating the young mistress of Nangong Mansion on the first important moment in her life.
Little Xingxing can now hold her head straight, and seems to be infected by the lively atmosphere. Looking at people coming and going in the yard, an innocent smile is on her little face.
The occasional giggles added a bit of festive atmosphere.
Bai Huahua held her in his arms and walked among his friends, showing off the outfit he had chosen for Xingxing.
Lin Ruyi laughed at him, "Xingxing is so cute that she would look good in a sack. Your clothes are just the icing on the cake."
Bai Huahua snorted, "It's fine as long as it compliments our good looks."
He put his forehead against the little girl's and rubbed it, "Isn't that right, little star?"
Yao Jia smiled and looked away.
As Xingxing grew up, these boys discovered that she looked more and more like Nangong Xiu Lan, but their fatherly love for Xingxing only increased.
After three rounds of drinks, it was time for the most crucial moment, when Lin Congmo was going to announce Xingxing's name in public.
Nangong Taichu
The chaotic energy can accommodate everything and also symbolizes the original origin.
In order to name the stars, Nangong Xiu Lan spent nearly a month, racking his brains, and asked Yao Jia to choose from four names: Taichu, Taiyi, Taisu, and Taishi.
Yao Jia was speechless and teased him that if he added one more Tai Chi, he would have the complete five innate Tai Chis.
Nangong Xiu Lan said seriously: "Tai Chi is too loud, I am afraid that Xingxing will not be able to suppress it in the future, and will have a bad fate."
Yao Jia was so scared that she had no choice but to choose Taichu.
As he recalled the past, Lin Congmo stood up and looked around at the guests in the room, a smile of kindness and pride on his face.
He gently patted the folding fan in his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
The entire banquet hall gradually returned to silence, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Before he could open his mouth, Sihe came in with a team of eunuchs, holding an imperial edict in his hand.
The guests began to whisper, speculating that the emperor was going to reward the young master of the Nangong family.
After all, Baiji raised 300,000 taels of silver for disaster relief for the northwest snow disaster a few years ago, Tianxing Pavilion donated 10,000 cotton-padded clothes, and Gujiabao donated more than a thousand snow-clearing machines.
"How come Eunuch Sihe has time to come here today?" Lin Congmo walked forward with a smile.
Sihe smiled, holding the imperial edict, and bowed slightly, saying, "Mr. Lin is too polite. Today, I am here on the orders of the Emperor to congratulate Pavilion Master Nangong."
"Oh? Your Majesty actually still remembers the little granddaughter's hundred-day banquet. This really makes the Nangong Mansion proud... Pavilion Master Nangong?"
Lin Congmo hadn't finished speaking when he realized that they came for Yao Jia.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became solemn, and everyone's eyes turned to Yao Jia, their eyes full of surprise and admiration.
Yao Jia was also stunned, then quickly calmed down and slowly stood up to receive the order.
