Chapter 632
Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned by the question, and looked at the two cubs with a vague look in her eyes.
Momo Naonao's birthday is March 28th, and there are still about ten days before he turns one.
It stands to reason that there should be a big banquet for the guests, but it is almost a year since the death of Empress Dowager Jing. Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng are grandchildren. They can pay filial piety by observing the ceremony for one year, but the Princess Protector needs to observe the ceremony for three years, so this birthday ceremony is not appropriate.
Make a big deal.
When Jing Heng saw her expression, he knew that she had forgotten about it, and he suggested helplessly: "If the two little ones can live together, the first birthday ceremony will be held at the home of the father-in-law and mother-in-law in Bieyuan, and those who are close to her will be invited.
Just relatives."
Qin Xiaoxiao hesitated and said, "Wouldn't this be bad? It's okay for Nao Nao to take my surname and hold a first-year ceremony at my house, but Nao Nao is different. I'm worried that someone will gossip, and this matter has not been passed through my mother."
Jing Heng said: "The surname of Nao Nao has been adopted by you, and there is no shortage of gossip from outsiders. You also know my mother's temperament, she won't mind, I will tell you later."
Seeing that he was serious, Qin Xiaoxiao naturally would not object: "Okay, I will discuss the first-year gift with my parents. Those days happen to be your days off. See if you can take a day off, my child.
My first birthday gift cannot be without you as my father."
Jing Heng also had this plan in mind, so he pinched his noisy little face and "threatened": "On that day, if you don't call me daddy, see how I will deal with you!"
The noisy little head shook desperately, trying to escape from the bad father's hand.
"Stop making trouble for him. If he starts crying later, don't come to me to comfort him." Qin Xiaoxiao looked at him angrily. Before, she would never have believed that he would be childish enough to threaten her one-year-old son.
Jing Heng took his hand back, there was nothing he could do about this little brat who couldn't hit him and could only scold him.
When he went to the main hall to talk to Princess Protector about the first birthday ceremony at the Qin family, Qin Xiaoxiao asked someone to dig out a piece of brighter material from the warehouse and asked Qingfeng to take it to the sewing room to tailor a suit for the two little guys.
New clothes to wear at the first birthday ceremony.
The two little guys had a lot of clothes, but they had to wear plain clothes during the filial piety period, so their clothes were mostly blue. On the first birthday ceremony, she wanted them to dress more energetically.
It didn't take long for Jingheng to come back. As he expected, Princess Protector didn't mind and even felt guilty for not being able to give her two grandsons a grand first-year gift.
You must know that the previous three baths and the full moon were all done hastily. Except for the Qin family, no one else came to visit.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng also felt guilty about this. Fortunately, the two little guys didn't remember anything. Even if there was no grand first-year gift, they would not be sad. After all, the love given to them would not be less.
The next day, Jing Heng went to the Maritime Trade Department early, and the three of them went to the dining hall to accompany Princess Huguo for breakfast. After eating, they went to the small house to join Qin Shan and others.
The two little guys can already eat a lot of complementary foods, and their favorite food is beef soup. However, beef is a rare thing, and even the Princess Protector's Mansion cannot have fresh beef every day.
At this moment, the two brothers were eating the minced meat fed by their mother and grandmother with great gusto. When they were happy with the meal, they started dancing and shouting silently, but they were frequently looked at by Nao Nao, as if they were annoying him for interrupting his meal.
Princess Huguo saw it interestingly and said to Qin Xiaoxiao: "The two children are just right when they are moving and when they are quiet. If they are equally noisy or equally quiet, the adults will have a headache."
Qin Xiaoxiao was convinced: "What mother said is absolutely true. Their temperaments complement each other perfectly, so there is no need to worry about raising two demon kings."
Princess Protector hurt her two grandsons to the core, and was not happy to hear these words: "It's good to make trouble silently. If they grow crooked, it must be because your parents didn't teach them well."
Qin Xiaoxiao knew it was a joke and gently pinched Mo Mo's little ears: "You have to work hard and don't let your parents take the blame for you."
Momo thought she was teasing him, so she giggled happily: "Mom, eat~"
With this smile, he spurted out the minced meat that had not been swallowed in his mouth, and his chin was immediately covered in paste.
Qin Xiaoxiao picked up the handkerchief and wiped it clean for him, and scolded him with a smile: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, you are almost getting fat and turning into a piglet."
The little guy sensitively caught the word "pig", grinned and shouted: "Dudu, dudu~"
I took them to play on the street before and saw the fat little piglets in a cage for the first time. Qin Xiaoxiao taught them what they were. Maybe it was because the little piglets were so cute that she taught them two
They will remember it when you reply.
In those days, whether eating or sleeping, the silent little mouth would always chant twice, but the pronunciation was not accurate, and the pig was called "Du", which sounded quite cute.
"Okay, okay, don't think about it anymore. Grandpa caught two little piglets at home. I'll show you when I get home." Seeing him spraying minced meat everywhere, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly scooped up a spoonful of minced meat and handed it to him.
Mouth, block this long-winded little mouth.
"Ah woo~" Momo smiled happily, opened his mouth and swallowed the minced meat with a satisfied look on his face.
At the end of the feeding, there were still two mouthfuls left in the bowl. Qin Xiaoxiao scooped it up and ate it all. She said something to Princess Protector and was about to leave with the two children, but she was stopped by Princess Protector.
She took two palm-sized boxes from Hongying and handed them to Qin Xiaoxiao: "I transferred the two shops on East Street to the names of two children. This is the seal of the shop. You can help them keep it.
Come on, you will have to take care of the future income and expenditure accounts."
When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he hurriedly declined: "Mother, what are you doing? You are still young, so there is no need for these. I won't accept it!"
East Street is not the busiest street in the entire capital, but it is the favorite place for high-ranking officials and nobles.
Princess Huguo occupies the two largest shops here. One sells antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the other sells gold and jade jewelry. It is not an exaggeration to say that the money is made every day, and I don’t know how many people have become red-eyed.
"It's just two shops, it's nothing. Sooner or later, I'll leave it to you." Princess Protector thrust the two boxes into Qin Xiaoxiao's arms without any explanation. When she saw her refusing, she immediately straightened her face: "This is for you."
It’s a silent fuss, they didn’t say they don’t want you to be in a hurry!”
Qin Xiaoxiao still refused to accept it: "Mom, since it will be left to them sooner or later, you should keep it first, and then hand it over to them when they grow up, otherwise they will think that Brother Li and I are useless and want to
I was raised by your grandmother!"
Princess Protector was too lazy to speak and threw the two boxes into her arms.
Qin Xiaoxiao was afraid that she would break the seal, so she subconsciously reached out to catch it.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was determined not to take it back, she glanced at Nao Nao and placed the seal of the shop that bought and sold antiques, calligraphy and paintings on the dining table: "Mother, I want to take care of several farm shops under Brother Li's name, and also
I have to take care of the plantation over Xingyue Lake, and I really can't spare the energy to take care of these two shops. I can just take one for the children."
How could the Princess Protector not know what she was thinking, so she picked up the box and threw it into her arms again: "Although I say Nao Nao will bear your surname, the fact that he is my grandson will not change. Just keep it with peace of mind. No one dares to
gossip."
Qin Xiaoxiao felt that the box was hot to her hands, but she knew that continuing to refuse would make her mother-in-law unhappy, so she had no choice but to put it down: "Mother, I would like to thank you for being silent and noisy."
Only then did Princess Protector have a smile on her face. She reached out and teased her two grandsons: "When you grow up, don't imitate your mother, who has to worry about collecting things for you."
"Ahh~" The two little guys liked their grandmother very much and held on to her fingers, as if they were echoing her words.
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, and felt less uncomfortable about accepting this generous gift.
We were going back for a while this time, and we had to bring a lot of things. Just the necessary items for the two little guys filled half the car, and we had to set up a special carriage to load them.
There must be no fewer people with him. In addition to the four wet nurses, Qin Xiaoxiao ordered Mingyue Jingque to accompany Qingfengxi Bridge, while Xingtian and Cicada stayed behind at the house.
At the end of the year before last, Qingshu left the palace to get married. The vacant seat had to be filled, but she felt that there were enough people to serve, so she did not add more people. Currently, the only people serving her are these six maids.
As usual, this trip took three carriages. When the group arrived at the small house, Qin Shan and others were already ready. They immediately drove towards the city gate without letting Qin Xiaoxiao get off the carriage.
When they arrived at the city gate, Princess Jiaming's chariot was waiting there. They greeted each other and set off together.
When they were about to arrive at Qingshan Village, Qin Xiaoxiao's carriage turned a corner in the direction of Bieyuan. She asked the coachman to stop the carriage, said hello to Qin Shan and others, and said she would cross the lake to have breakfast early tomorrow morning and watch them off.
The car drove away.
There is no way, the Qin family's house is not enough for so many people. Besides, Princess Jiaming is also here, so it is difficult for her to live in the Qin family, so they are staying in Bieyuan.
When they arrived at the Villa, dinner was already prepared in the kitchen. Qin Xiaoxiao and Princess Jiaming came to the dining hall, chatting and laughing, holding two little guys who slept like piglets.
"Auntie, your room has been tidied up. Let's go over and take a look after dinner. If you need anything else, just ask and treat this place as your own." Qin Xiaoxiao was afraid that Princess Jiaming would feel uncomfortable and not keep her food.
He kept nagging her about the unspoken rule.
"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you." Along the way, Princess Jiaming admired the spring scenery through the car window that was different from the capital city. Her irritable mood for many days was relieved a lot, and she joked with Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Haha, I feel relieved if you do this." Qin Xiaoxiao wished she could be more relaxed. This time she came out just to feel at ease and not pay attention to those cleverly named tea parties and poetry gatherings.
Princess Jiaming smiled and ate the food with peace of mind. She found that the food tasted surprisingly good, and she couldn't help but have an appetite and ate half a bowl of more rice.
After the meal, Qin Xiaoxiao handed the two cubs to the wet nurse, and took the three masters and servants of Princess Jiaming to the courtyard not far from the main courtyard.
The house has been tidied up in advance, and the bedding has been dried in advance. It is very clean and fresh, and there is no need to buy anything else.
