Chapter 997: Money and knowledge

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Dengdeng held the birthday party and organized the wedding ceremony. Lin Ping'er took the initiative to take care of everything and was extremely enthusiastic about the busy schedule at home. According to her, it was not too tiring to take care of her little grandson, but Bai Ruozhu felt that she was more than just I'm not tired at all, it's as if I've been given a shot of chicken blood.

Since I was hosting the banquet, there were not many guests, so I just waited for Bai Lu and Bai Yixiao to come. But when the time came, two carriages came to the door. Bai Lu and Bai Yixiao walked down, followed closely by Bai Fu and Liu. Got out of the car too.

Obviously they were very adamant at the beginning and couldn't tell, but now they both appeared. It was obviously because Mrs. Liu said "not the Bai family". It seemed that the two of them had a guilty conscience.

In another carriage, a middle-aged man got out of the carriage and helped Mrs. Bo out of the carriage. Needless to say, the man must be Bo Qun, the Marquis of the House of Bo.

Bai Ruozhu secretly took a look at Bo Qun, and heard that he joined the army when he was just a teenager. He fought his way up from the rank of a small soldier, and made military exploits through life and death, and then he was made a marquis and redressed the rebellion of his family.

She had to admire such a person. If she were in Bo Qun's position, she would definitely not be able to do that.

Bo Qun is not too tall, but because he has served in the army all year round, his back is extremely straight even at his age. However, due to the constant exposure to wind and sun, his face looks very weathered, and the lady Bo Qun he helped out of the car is already She is eight years younger than him and well-maintained. She looks like his daughter when they stand together.

However, judging from Bo Qun's attitude towards Mrs. Bo, he actually loves his wife very much.

Bai Yihong hurriedly brought Lin Ping'er forward to salute and say hello. According to seniority, Bai Yihong had to call Bo Qun his cousin, but now that the two families were not too close, the title was not so cordial, so he still called him Mr. Bo.

Bo Qun didn't have the chilling air of the battlefield, and his conversation still sounded like a scholar.

"Don't be too polite. We are all relatives. I came here specifically to congratulate you and join in the fun." Bo Qun said with a smile.

Bai Yihong hurriedly made an invitation gesture and said, "Then, Mr. Marquis, Madam, please go in and sit down to talk."

Bo Qun walked into the yard and said with a smile: "Yihong, according to your seniority, you have to call me cousin. Although I am not much ten years older than you, I can still bear the name of cousin, right?"

Is this to get closer to the Bai family?

Bai Yihong's face turned slightly red and he said with a smile: "Then I'll call you cousin uncle or aunt."

Bo Qun laughed. Mrs. Bo was actually about the same age as Bai Yihong, but there was nothing embarrassing about it. There were more people in the clan, and in terms of seniority, there were even those who were older than her and called her grandma.

At this time, Bai Yihong went to salute Bai Lu, Bai Fu and others again. Bai Yihong didn't know about the little episode in the middle. Bai Ruozhu felt that it would be better not to tell her father before the matter was clarified, so Bai Yihong only knew that his parents said they were not feeling well. Come. But now that everyone has arrived, he feels particularly happy, feeling that his parents have figured it out.

Bai Ruozhu felt that the old man and the old lady were able to come, either because they felt guilty and wanted to show off, or because Bo Qun wanted to come in person and they couldn't put on a big show.

The two parties talked for a while, but because of the presence of Lord Bo Qun, everyone was a little reserved. Bo Qun also saw this problem. He smiled and said a few jokes, which instantly relaxed the atmosphere a lot.

Lin Ping'er looked at the hour and said to Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu returned to the room to get Deng Deng. Aunt Zhang had already put on Deng Deng's new red clothes. It is a custom for children to wear red clothes when they are one year old, and some patterns are embroidered on the clothes, which symbolize good health, wealth, good fortune and so on.

Deng Deng was particularly excited to wear new clothes, especially children of this age who are most sensitive to red and also like red the most. Deng Deng turned her head and looked at herself left and right, smiling so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. .

Bai Ruozhu took the tiger head hat and put it on him. In an instant, the little boy became even more adorable, making people want to go up and kiss him.

Even Grandma Zhang, who had always been a bit serious, laughed and said, "The young master is so handsome, even this old slave can't help but want to hold him in his arms and never let go."

Bai Ruozhu couldn't close her mouth when she heard this. Who doesn't know that their child is being praised?

Seeing that it was almost time, Bai Ruozhu wanted to hug Dengdeng and go out to arrest Zhou, but Dengdeng refused to let her hold him, nor did he let Aunt Zhang hold him. That meant that holding him would wrinkle his new clothes.

Bai Ruozhu laughed so hard that her stomach ached, and whispered, "You brat now knows you love beauty?"

In the end, she had no choice but to hold Xiao Dengdeng's hand and walk together to the place where Zhou was captured.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw little Dengdeng appear. This soft and adorable child is so cute!

Jiang Yichun had a look of pride on his face, and a smile appeared on his usually cold face, and his smile was a bit naive.

He was worried because his son was indeed the prettiest and cutest, no matter who planted the seed!

When Bo Qun saw that Deng Deng was walking by himself and that he was walking extremely steadily, he also smiled and said, "This kid has a strong body and is a good material for practicing martial arts."

Lin Ping'er looked at the hourglass and reminded Bai Ruozhu: "The auspicious time is coming soon, please hurry up and take Dengdeng over to catch Zhou."

Bai Ruozhu didn't dare to delay, so he took Dengdeng and walked towards the place where Zhou was captured. It was a red blanket filled with various things, including books, pens, abacus, jade pendants, small wooden swords, etc. , through the things the child catches when he is one year old, it symbolizes the child's future development.

For example, if a child catches a small wooden sword, it is said that he will become a general in the future, and if a child catches a pen, he is said to be the number one scholar. Of course, generals and number one scholars cannot be everywhere, so these are just auspicious words.

Deng Deng was led to Zhou Zhou's blanket by Bai Ruozhu. Lin Ping'er read out the congratulatory message for Zhou Zhou according to the custom of Danliang Kingdom. Mrs. Liu's face turned dark. According to the rules, it was the eldest female elder in the family who read it. Lin Ping'er didn't let her read it, it was too disrespectful to her.

In fact, Lin Ping'er also thought about asking Mrs. Liu, but when she thought about Mrs. Liu's temper and was afraid of complications, she simply went ahead with the original arrangement. Who made the old man and the old lady unable to talk at the beginning?

After the congratulatory speech was finished, Bai Ruozhu let go of the pedal and said to him with a smile: "Son, go grab something you like."

Seeing so many people looking at him, Deng Deng's big eyes were a little confused, as if he didn't understand why the adults were surrounding him today. Jiang Yichun said from the side: "Go and catch him, son. Whatever you catch will be yours."

After hearing this, Deng Deng walked forward and without any hesitation stretched out both hands at the same time. She grabbed a book in her left hand and a small silver ingot in her right hand.

Everyone laughed, and Bo Qun said, "This kid is very smart and knows how to catch two at a time."
