My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Hedong County.

Weifu.

Today is the birth feast of Wei Cheng's two children.

According to different customs in different places, in some places, guests are invited to eat together on the full moon.

In some places, it is about half a month. Generally, it is [-] days for boys and [-] days for girls, but there are differences.

Wei Shi followed the fourteen-day custom, and a large number of cooks began to get busy early in the morning.

All the chefs of restaurants in the city are invited to help cook today, and they are also happy to be invited by Wei Shi. You must know that this is capital to show off. If you turn around and yell in the restaurant, you have cooked for Wei Shi. Attracts many diners and gourmets.

Dongyuan.

Aunt Niu came with a large vegetable basket, which contained freshly picked fruits and vegetables, regardless of their appearance or size, they were all carefully selected.

"Ma'am, the tomatoes you just picked, would you like to help you wash one and try it?"

Cai Yan is in confinement, and eats a lot of greasy and nourishing food on weekdays, and occasionally eats some fruits and vegetables, which can be regarded as a relief.

Especially tomatoes, which are sour and sweet, Cai Yan likes them very much.

Wei Cheng was coaxing the second treasure, when he heard the words, he said, "Aunt Niu, please wash one and cut it open, then mix some icing sugar."

Aunt Niu was used to the politeness of Wei Cheng and his wife, so she nodded and went to the back kitchen to prepare with a smile.

Cai Yan, who was half leaning on the soft couch, raised her head and teased Wei Cheng, "My husband is always so picky about food."

Wei Ting was stunned for a moment, and said amusedly, "Isn't it normal to eat tomatoes mixed with sugar? If you're picky, then there's no such thing as simple food in this world."

Cai Yan pouted and explained angrily: "Your husband knows what I mean, I mean that the icing sugar is too expensive. My little aunt said that the icing sugar outside is sold by tael, and one tael costs three hundred renminbi." .”

Hearing this, Wei Cheng walked to the edge of the bed with Er Bao in his arms and sat down. With one free hand, he stroked Cai Yan's greasy hair, and said softly, "No matter how expensive it is outside, it's nothing to me. So, it’s just icing sugar, as long as you like to eat it, it doesn’t matter how expensive it is.”

Cai Yan's pretty face instantly became hot, as two red clouds hung on her baby-fat face due to pregnancy.

"Oh, don't touch my hair, it hasn't been washed for more than ten days, it's very dirty."

Cai Yan came back to his senses, and hurriedly turned his head to avoid Wei Cheng's head-touching kill.

I don't know what the rules are, but mothers who are confinement can't wash their hair and take a bath. The only way to clean them on weekdays is to have someone wipe their whole body with a hot towel. Of course, someone Wei is willing to help, but unfortunately, the mansion There are too many maids, nothing to do with him.

Wei Cheng withdrew his hand and glanced at it, smiled, and wiped all the oil in his hand on Dabao's face in Cai Yan's arms.

This brat can really eat it, so I don't know how to save some for your father to taste.

It's still Erbao who is good, just eat three meals a day, and basically sleeps the rest of the time.

It is said that as the facial features of the two children gradually developed, Wei Cheng was surprised to find that his twin sons did not seem to look alike. They should be so-called fraternal twins. Cai Yan has a round and delicate face.

Wei Cheng even wondered if Erbao was a girl, but he lowered his head and lifted the swaddling clothes to see, little Dingding, well, it's a boy.

Erbao, who was thrown off by Wei Cheng, thought that Wei Cheng was playing with him, and kicked his short legs around desperately, with a naive smile on his mouth.

Seeing this, Wei Cheng laughed with Cai Yan and said, "Look, Yan'er, Er Bao's short legs are not weak."

Cai Yan was angry and funny, this husband is not upright, how could he call his child short-legged.

"Second Master, the guests are almost here, the Patriarch asked someone to let me know."

The housekeeper Wei Mu's voice came from the yard, Wei Cheng heard the words and put Er Bao on the crib.

"Yan'er, you watch first, I'll be back to accompany you in a while."

Cai Yan shook his head, carefully covered Erbao's stomach with a small blanket, and said, "It's important for my husband to entertain guests, so don't rush back, my aunt and sister-in-law will definitely come later, and it's fine to have them accompany me."

Wei Cheng nodded slightly, and said, "That's fine, I just happen to have something to deal with, and I'll ask Hao Niang and Chan'er to accompany you later."

While talking, there was a burst of talking, laughing and footsteps in the yard.

The people who came were the wives of the Wei family, as well as the female family members of several aristocratic families including the Cai family. The eldest aunt Wei Min, the younger aunt Wei Ning, and the elder sister-in-law were also among them.

"Yo, Cheng'er, you're still here. Many people came in front. I thought you had already passed, so I called a female guest over to see Yan'er and the two children." Seeing Wei Cheng, Wei Min said.

Wei Cheng bowed his hands to everyone, and responded with a smile: "I'm going there soon, and you just came, so Yan'er will be taken care of by my aunts."

The women saluted back, hearing the words, they all said enviously: "Wei Shijun is a good husband, I think when I was in confinement, my elm head only knew how to drink and have fun, how could he control me. "

Wei Cheng chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "You guys are absurd."

···
When Wei Cheng came to the front hall, the huge banquet hall was already full of seats.

Today, almost all the people who could be there were present, especially the several aristocratic families attached to the Wei family, and the patriarchs of the families were present in person.

Because there is another program today, which is to choose wives for Dabao and Erbao.

There is nothing wrong with choosing a virgin who is three to six years older than Dabao and Erbao as the future main wife, which can also be said to be a child bride.

Because once selected, these two virgins will directly stay in Wei's life, and at the same time help Cai Yan take care of the two future husbands.

Wei Cheng is not very fond of this custom, and wanted to refuse it, but I heard that he had it when he was a child, and as long as he is a big family, he will basically do it, so think about it or forget it.

Thinking about it from another angle, the future daughter-in-law enters the house early, which is also convenient for cultivating relationships, so as to avoid not knowing how to respect the elders in the future.

As for why the girl when I was a child didn't marry me later, Wei Cheng also asked about this, and the answer I got was that the woman's family offended He Jin and was executed by all the families.

Regarding this, Wei Cheng could only mourn in silence, mainly because he had no memory of his previous life, so he didn't feel so sad.

Seeing Wei Cheng's arrival, everyone present got up one after another.

"I've seen Mr. Wei!"

Except for Wei Shi's people, everyone present bowed and saluted at the same time, that scene was shocking enough.

Wei Cheng bowed to return the salute, then walked up to the oldest Mrs. Xie, helped him up with his own hands, and said, "Grand Xie, please don't beat me up. How dare you accept your gift."

Old Mrs. Xie laughed and said: "If Shijun can't bear it, then I'm afraid there is no one in the world who can make this old man bend over."

Wei Cheng chuckled, helped him to sit down, walked up to the head seat, and sat down beside his father Wei Hao.

"Let's start the banquet." Wei Cheng instructed the butler Wei Mu who was beside him.

Wei Mu left with his hands in his hands, and not long after, all kinds of delicacies were presented.

While drinking fine wine and eating delicious food, all the guests chatted with each other. The main topic was which family Wei Cheng would choose as his daughter-in-law today. Chicken and dog ascend to heaven and so on.

Of course, these are small aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen, and the real big aristocratic families are too calm. The few patriarchs headed by Mrs. Xie kept silent on this matter. They believed that the Wei family had already chosen, saying No more.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Finally came the most exciting moment.

Wei Hao laughed and said, "Everyone, let's start."

Upon hearing this, all the guests looked forward to it.

Outside the door, little girls lined up and walked in. The oldest of them was only seven or eight years old, and the youngest needed a maid to hold hands to follow the team.

Wei Cheng sighed faintly, why did he choose that one more, is this really good?

In fact, what Wei Cheng didn't know was that these little girls had been screened round after round. If all the girls sent by wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families were called, the banquet hall might not even be able to accommodate them.

First of all, the experienced nuns judged the body shape by feeling their bones, and first eliminated a group.

Then, the people from Wei's Goodwill Hall went through home visits, and another group was eliminated.

In the end, I asked people to check their birthday horoscopes, which eliminated many people.

Right now, these twenty or so little girls can be said to be selected carefully, one in a hundred, regardless of family background, appearance, and character, they are all first-class, so they can be selected and come to the fourth round.

At this time, Wei Min, who was sitting next to Wei Cheng, leaned over and said, "Qing'er, we only found two of the three women you named, and one of them was Zhang Chunhua, who asked all the Zhang families in Hanoi County People, there is no such woman."

Wei Cheng nodded slightly. He also let the second uncle try his luck. After all, she is a rare woman recorded in the Three Kingdoms. If she can find her to be his son's wife, that would be good. If she doesn't find it, there is no other way.

"What about the other two?" Wei Cheng asked immediately.

Wei Min pointed to the two little girls in the team.

Wei Cheng raised his eyes and couldn't help but see a bright light.

Wei Min said: "This is the daughter of the Bu family in Huaiyin County. The ancestor of the Bu family is Bu Shucheng, one of the 72 disciples of Confucius. It's a pity that this daughter is only a concubine. If it is a direct line, it will be fine."

Wei Cheng looked at the submissive little girl in the team, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if she is a direct descendant, as long as she can become my son's good helper, she will be several times stronger than those direct descendants."

When Wei Yan heard it, it was also the same reason. Although the Bu family was a family of scholars, it was only a small family. Someone is selected.

"What about the other one?"

Wei Min pointed to a tall woman at the back of the line.

"This girl is generous. It is said that she has a little talent. It is rare for a girl at her age to be so eloquent."

"Is she Queen Guo?" Wei Cheng asked with great interest.

Wei Min heard this, and responded with a smile: "The queen is just a joking name by Brother Guo, but this girl is beautiful, and she is worthy of it."

Queen Guo's biological father, Guo Qi, used to be the prefect of Nanjun. He was born in Julu County, Jizhou, not far from Hedong County. He was also a good friend of Wei Min.

This time Wei Cheng was able to pick Guo Qi's daughter, Wei Min was very happy. Compared to that naive step trainer, he hoped that Queen Guo could be selected by Wei Cheng. Anyway, he knows the whole story, and the Julu Guo family is also a famous family. .

When Wei Cheng was about to look away, he happened to meet Queen Guo, Guo Ai, who was looking up.

(Queen is the word.)
Wei Cheng looked at her, and she also looked at Wei Cheng without the slightest timidity, as if she knew that Wei Cheng was the one who had the most say in the whole scene, so Guo Ai, who was only six years old, showed a sweet smile towards Wei Cheng, He also gave a generous and decent bow.

Wei Cheng chuckled.

The interaction between the two naturally attracted the attention of many people, especially Guo Qi in the crowd. Although the Guo family is a famous Julu family, they are obviously weaker than the Hedong family, so they were arranged to sit in the second place. Row.

When his daughter Guo Ai came in just now, he was worried that her daughter would make trouble if she was too evasive, so the audience watched closely.

At this time, seeing his daughter greet Wei Cheng unexpectedly, he gasped in fright, and almost choked to death on his own breath.

Unexpectedly, Wei Cheng spoke up.

"Little girl, do you know me?"

Wei Cheng waved to Guo Ai at the back of the team, motioning for her to come forward and speak.

Guo Ai was startled, feeling the doubts and curiosity projected from all around, she first took a deep breath, and then walked to the front row generously.

"Guo Ai has met Lord Shijun, and often heard his father say that Lord Ambassador is good. Although Guo Ai has never met him, under the influence of his father, he has admired Lord Ambassador for a long time."

"Oh, your father really often mentions me in front of you?" Wei Cheng knew that she was greeting him, so he teased deliberately.

Seeing that the lie was exposed, Guo Ai's pretty face was slightly hot, and she looked at her father in the crowd with a guilty conscience.

Seeing this, Guo Qi stood up with a wry smile.

"Guo Qi has met Mr. Wei."

Wei Cheng looked at Guo Qi, nodded with a smile, "Brother Guo gave birth to a good daughter."

Guo Qi was startled when he heard this.

Even exclamations were heard from the crowd, could it be that Wei Cheng took a fancy to that little girl, isn't this too casual?
Mrs. Xie and other members of the family also frowned, which was a bit different from what they imagined.

Wei Cheng looked at Guo Ai again, and asked, "Do you know why you came here today?"

Guo Ai pursed her lips, glanced at her father Guo Qi secretly, and then replied: "I know, before leaving home, my mother cried and told me that if I can be selected, it will be for me, for my Guo family. , is a great thing, so I want to be selected."

The smile on Wei Cheng's face gradually faded away, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked Guo Ai: "You are very sensible, but I don't want you to make hasty decisions about your life, how about this, I will take you as a disciple first, and the future , I will leave it to you to decide, when you grow up, if you fall in love with a younger brother, I will promise you to him, how about it?"

"Wow!"

All the guests were in an uproar, what was so different about this woman that Wei Cheng valued so much?
Guo Qi in the crowd was also stunned. He knew that his daughter was beautiful and intelligent, but he never expected to be so valued by Wei Cheng. He even made the decision to accept his daughter in order to respect his daughter's wishes.

In this way, even if she can't become Wei's daughter-in-law in the future, her daughter will at least be a...

county lord!

The word flashed through Guo Qi's mind, and what followed was excitement and excitement.

"I am willing, master, please accept my apprentice's worship."

Guo Ai is worthy of the name of Xiuhui, without waiting for his father to speak, he directly gave Wei Cheng a big gift.

Wei Cheng smiled with satisfaction, and then looked up at Xiaobu trainer in the team, who was looking eagerly at Guo Ai's back.
