Chapter 125
On the second day after Cheng's return, Si Zhuo pulled out the pearl.

"You bastard, you scared me to death!" Fang Xiuyi patted Si Zhuo's buttocks.

Si Zhuo didn't know the reason, just smirked and kept leaning into Fang Xiuyi's arms.

"Just pay more attention in the future, don't worry." He Huai'an comforted Fang Xiuyi, "It seems that our accessories have to be changed again."

"Before at home, I only ate my own hands. Why did I eat other people's pearls as soon as I went out?"

"Mother, take this opportunity, we just don't need to wear jewelry at home, and we will wear it when people come or go out." Fei Yu was very happy, "There are so many piercings on the head every day, it's annoying to death."

"How can this work?! If you don't get in touch with these things often, you will become insensitive to jewelry after a long time!" Talent is important, but the acquired environment is also very important.

"Mother, how can there be such a statement!" Fei Yu didn't quite believe it.

"Of course. You don't have to worry, Sizhuo will be one year old soon, and she will have the ability to distinguish soon." Since returning from Cheng's residence, Sizhuo has not even touched their jewelry.

"Your mother is right. Moisturizing things are subtle and silent." He Huai'an also agreed with Fang Xiuyi's opinion.

"Yes, don't give up eating because of choking, it's not that serious."

Just talking about Sizhuo's first birthday, it's the first birthday ceremony in the blink of an eye.

This time, Fang Xiuyi took care of it herself, from preparing the banquet in the house to inviting guests and friends, she did it all by herself.The full moon of thinking and thinking coincided with Siyuan Feiyu's birth year, thinking about a hundred days, Fang Xiuyi had a broken rib and a calf fracture, thinking about half a year old, Fang Xiuyi was still in a wheelchair, she didn't manage the three important processes, This is one year old, so I have to do it anyway.

On the first birthday, the clothes on Sizhuo's body were made by Yunniang.This time, because it wasn't a very formal banquet, and it was still a clumsy grasp, Yunniang didn't back down, which made Fang Xiuyi very happy.

He Huai'an and Siyuan greeted the male guests, and Fang Xiuyi took Feiyu to take care of the female guests. There were not many people, and they were just a few people who could be said on weekdays, and it was not very hard.

The Zhou Catch Ceremony was held in the front hall of the inner courtyard. He Huai'an specially set up a huge table with many things on it.

"Xiuyi, you're not afraid to spend your thinking eyes, you put so much in it!" Lian Zixin was a little surprised, there were too many things.

"I don't know, adults have already put so many things."

"I reckon that Mr. He wants to give all these things to his son instead of letting him grab something himself." Lian Zixin analyzed.

"I think so too." Mrs. Gu who was next to her agreed.

On the table, there are piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, gold and silver jewelry, knives, guns and halberds, silk and satin, and even rouge, gouache, bronze mirrors and the like.

"Master He dares to show everything. What if the child looks fresh and gets a rouge? Although we don't believe this, we can't stop the rumors from spreading." Mrs. An was a little worried.

"Probably not, he doesn't like these things on weekdays!" Fang Xiuyi was also a little uncertain.

"What do Si Zhuo like on weekdays?" Lian Zixin asked, calmly looking at the things on the table.

Fang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Does eating hands count?"

When the auspicious time came, He Huai'an personally hugged Si Zhuo and put him on the table.

Sizhuo didn't know what to do, first looked at his father, then at his mother, then at his brothers and sisters, and smiled "hehe".

"Baby, look here!" Fang Xiu had to pick up a rattle and shake it first.

Si Zhuo seemed to understand, first crawled to the toys and touched each of them.Then he picked up the jewellery, Fang Xiu raised it wholeheartedly, thinking that he was going to feed it into his mouth again, but Si Zhuo threw it down, climbed to the mirror again, picked up the mirror and looked at it, feeling boring, and then saw sword.This was good, Si Zhuo held a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, and slashed wildly for a while, Fang Xiuyi's heart beat wildly in fright.

"Could it be that you want to choose a sword? That's fine, boy!" Lian Zixin comforted Fang Xiuyi.

But as soon as the words fell, Si Zhuo threw the sword away, sat up, looked around, didn't move, it seemed that he was not interested in these things, and then saw Fang Xiuyi, grinned, and smiled at Fang Xiuyi. side climb.

"Oh, don't come here!" Fang Xiuyi was a little worried, because there happened to be rouge and gouache on the side near her, don't let Mrs. An say it right!

The ladies around her knew what Fang Xiuyi was thinking, and all smiled.

Sizhuo crawled closer and closer, Fang Xiuyi thought about whether to stand in another place to avoid these things.

"Could it be that the young master has gone to see his mother?" Someone also speculated on the male guest's side.

"Master He, I see there is still rouge and gouache over there, could it be..." Someone teased with kindness.

"Wait and see!" He Huai'an didn't worry, he could do whatever he had, even rouge and gouache.

Just when everyone was guessing and Fang Xiuyi was terrified, Si Zhuo crawled in front of Fang Xiuyi.Fang Xiuyi is already ready for him to choose rouge and gouache.But never expected that Si Zhuo grabbed her arm and stood up. Then, under the attention and surprise of all the people, he supported Fang Xiuyi's body and walked in front of Lian Zixin.

"Oh my god, Sizhuo can walk standing up!" Lian Zixin was a little surprised.

"Yeah, I don't even know!"

Immediately afterwards, Si Zhuo hugged Cheng Pingzhen in Lian Zixin's arms.

Pingzhen was startled to cry by this sudden hug, and immediately burst into tears.

"Si Zhuo, let go quickly, what are you doing?" Fang Xiu immediately hugged Si Zhuo away when she saw this.But Si Zhuo didn't let go, just grabbed the plain clothes.

However, the others didn't care about Pingzhen's crying, they all laughed.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Mr. He's young master to arrest a little girl!" This was Gu Zhun's voice.

The ladies also looked at each other, and then looked at Fang Xiuyi with a funny face.

Lian Zixin was busy coaxing her daughter, but she couldn't push Si Zhuo away, so she could only comfort Ping Zhen in a low voice.

In a hurry, Fang Xiu pulled Si Zhuo down with a tug.Unexpectedly, Si Zhuo also started to cry, while crying, he stretched out his hands towards Ping Zhen.

"It's good for you to catch Zhou, you caught someone!" Fang Xiuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The two children cried like a competition, one louder than the other.

"Everyone, today's weekly catch is over, thank you for watching. Please move to the banquet hall!" He Huai'an stood up and hurriedly led the guests to the banquet hall.

Siyuan also quickly went to guide the guests.

"Xiuyi, why don't you bring Sizhu over here, one crying is worse than two crying."

After Fang Xiu heard Lian Zixin's words, Si Zhuo leaned over again.Sure enough, Si Zhuo stopped crying, and patted Ping Zhen seriously, trying to comfort her.

"It seems that this fate is not shallow!" Mrs. An teased.

It was also strange, after Si Zhuo patted a few times, Ping Zhen gradually stopped crying, and looked at Si Zhuo with teary eyes, as if he was complaining.

Several adults were stunned, not knowing how to react.

"This, maybe it's God's will!" Mrs. Gu murmured.

After Fang Xiuyi and Lian Zixin listened, they looked at each other with disbelief.

After the birthday ceremony, Lian Zixin and Mrs. Bai stayed to talk with Fang Xiuyi.

"Xiuyi, I had an idea just now, and I wanted to ask you what it means." Lian Zixin seemed a little hesitant, "Why don't we marry a son and daughter!"

Fang Xiuyi and Mrs. Bai both looked at Lian Zixin, how could they betroth their children so casually? !

"Zixin, this, this is too casual! What do you think?"

"Look at these few times, the fate between Si Zhuo and us is really amazing!"

Fang Xiu was speechless, Madam Bai also looked at this and that.

"However, what will happen to Si Zhuo in the future, including whether there will be any changes in the future, everything is unknown, will it be too risky to settle so early?" Fang Xiuyi hesitated even more, this was beyond her control range of affordability.

"Xiuyi, we women's family, we can't see many people in this life. We all rely on the relationship between our parents, our ability to know people, and our family tradition." Our understanding is a bit unexpected, but don't you think this is the best choice?"

Fang Xiuyi was very repulsive at first, but when Lian Zixin said this, she was a little shaken. Yes, a very important part of a child's marriage is to see the other party's parents.Although Lian Zixin had thought about He Huai'an in the past, he is open and frank now, and he is also affectionate with Mrs. Cheng. Difference.

"Zixin, this matter is too sudden and very important. I want to discuss it with you. By the way, is this your wish, or does Master Cheng also have this intention?"

"I had this intention just now, but I don't think my husband would mind."

Fang Xiuyi really didn't know who she knew, Cheng Tongfang didn't mind that his daughter betrothed the son of his wife's previous crush!

"Mrs. He, Mrs. Cheng, I'll take the liberty to say something after hearing what you said." Mrs. Bai saw a little silence on both sides, and said, "Actually, I think Mrs. Cheng's proposal is very good. First of all, it depends on the family background, the two of you They are all high-ranking officials, and no one can be regarded as high-ranking. Then look at the character, Madam He needless to say, although there are many prejudices in the outside world, after contacting, you will find that Madam He is very easy-going and takes care of other people's ideas. Madam Cheng, Although I have never been in contact, I have heard of Mrs. Cheng's name for a long time. When the children get married in the future, isn't it just a marriage between two families?"

As soon as Fang Xiu knew this, what she thought at first was that when the child grows up, maybe he will have his own thoughts and someone he likes, but after thinking about it, Lian Zixin was right. , everyone probably won't meet a few unmarried members of the opposite sex before they get married, so how can they have any choice!
"Madam Bai, you are right. I will talk to my husband later and see what he means."

Sizhuo and Hepingzhen both fell asleep, Lian Zixin simply stayed and waited for the child to wake up.The three of them continued to talk, and Mrs. Bai talked about her friend.

"You said, this Mrs. Liu has been missing for a few days?" Lian Zixin asked.

"Yeah, I'm so worried. The child is only two years old and cries every day. It's not convenient for me to go and visit him, so I'll ask my husband to keep asking about it." Mrs. Bai looked worried.

"Then have you reported to the officials?" Fang Xiuyi asked.

"On the same day, Mr. Liu reported to the officials. It has been three or four days now, and there is no news."

"Then, where did Mrs. Liu go the day she disappeared? Didn't she just disappear in her own home?"

"At noon that day, she took the servant girl to the jewelry shop, and never came back. The servant girl also disappeared."

"Isn't there still a carriage? Didn't the driver see anything?" Lian Zixin asked.

"No." Madam Bai shook her head, "The coachman has been waiting outside, but he didn't see anyone."

"Has the government checked the jewelry store?"

"It's been checked. It's an old store that has been in business for three generations. There is no violation of laws or regulations."

"What did the people in that shop say? There must have been other people there at the time, right?"

"The man said that Qinghao was looking at a pair of bracelets. There were so many people in the store that he didn't look very carefully. The government said there was no news about the other people in the store. They didn't see what happened at that time."

"With so many people, it's impossible not to see anything. I suspect that they don't want to cause trouble." Lian Zixin judged.

"Master Liu goes to the government office every day to inquire, Qinghao's mother took the child to take care of him, otherwise, I don't know what to do."

"This is really a surprising thing. In broad daylight, two living people just disappeared like this?" Fang Xiuyi was also very worried. A young mother disappeared and she couldn't find her. The child is still so young, "But , Mrs. Bai, please forgive me, Mrs. Liu, she..."

Madam Bai didn't understand Fang Xiuyi's meaning, she was startled.

"Madam He means, does Madam Liu have any other ideas?" Lian Zixin explained.

Mrs. Bai was stunned for a moment before she realized, and quickly waved her hands, "No, no, absolutely not. Qinghao is clean, gentle and virtuous, and has never done anything bad. She will never do such a thing! Never!"

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Bai, I just guessed randomly, please forgive me!" Fang Xiuyi apologized.

"It's okay. But, Mrs. He, you're right. I don't doubt Qinghao, but other people must have such an idea. It's just that I never thought of it, and no one mentioned it in front of me."

Fang Xiuyi and Lian Zixin looked at Mrs. Bai, not knowing how to comfort her.A woman, regardless of marriage or status, just disappeared for several days without any reason, and her reputation was already gone.Don't say it is in this era, even in the 21st century, if a woman disappears and reappears, people will inevitably be speculated, let alone this time!

"Madam Bai, don't be too anxious. I'll ask Mr. He later." Fang Xiuyi thought that if a senior official like He Huai'an showed his concern, the government would work harder.

"Yes, I will also ask my husband when I go back, and I will also ask my brother and the others to see what unusual things have happened in the capital recently."

"Thank you, I hope Qinghao is safe and sound." Mrs. Bai is undoubtedly grateful, after all, Lord Bai and Lord Liu have low official positions, and the government doesn't pay much attention to this matter. "It's really troublesome for you."

"What's the trouble? I'm not asking me to investigate the case." Fang Xiuyi comforted Mrs. Bai, she understood the feeling when she had nowhere to ask for help.In other words, if Mrs. Bai and Lian Zixin were missing, she might have to go to the scene to investigate by herself.
