Chapter 1005

The full moon is the most important day for a baby. The infant mortality rate of the ancients was very high. A baby survived a month after birth.

At this time, parents will hold a full moon ceremony to celebrate their children's difficulties and wish their newborns a healthy growth.

Today, although there is a maternal and child hospital, which greatly reduces the infant mortality rate, the inheritance of this custom will not be cut off. However, there are patriarchal families, which only give boys full moon wine, not girls. In the Mohist school, there is no patriarchal preference. Although Merton was born a daughter, Merton still held a full moon ceremony like boys.

"Hahaha, where's my little niece?" Qin Huaiyu came excitedly, greeted Merton waiting at the door and went to see the children.

Merton smiled bitterly and looked at the three people who had disappeared, so he had to continue to wait for the guests at the door.

This time, Merton invited close people to attend his daughter's full moon ceremony. Of course, many came uninvited, and Merton naturally entertained them.

"Congratulations, marquis Mo, on your daughter!" suddenly a voice appeared outside Mo's house, which made Merton frown. He saw that the head of the Zheng family came in person, followed by Zheng Chang, who had just recovered.

"It was Mr. Zheng. Last time Mr. Zheng came to visit, he happened to meet a little girl who was born. He failed to receive her. He ignored the Zheng family leader and asked Haihan!" Merton said politely. The visitor was a guest. Merton was embarrassed to tear his face and could only entertain her warmly.

"It doesn't matter. It's the wrong time for me to come, but I suddenly heard that Marquis Mo was happy with her daughter. Today, I came to the door to congratulate her. A small gift is no respect." the master of the Zheng family stretched out his hand and handed a gift list.

Merton swept his eyes, but he couldn't help shrinking his eyes. The master of the Zheng family said that it was only a small gift, but there was a long column on the gift list. This gift list alone was extremely rich.

Zheng Chang waved his hand. In an instant, the servants of the Zheng family who had already prepared were carrying a large number of gifts to move to the Mohist family.

Merton hurriedly came forward to stop him and said, "master Zheng, wait a minute. Thank you for your kindness. Mo took it for my little girl. Unfortunately, today's little girl's full moon banquet doesn't accept gifts. As long as you come, you are a distinguished guest of the Mohist school. Please don't blame master Zheng."

"No gifts!" Zheng's family leader couldn't help but stay. Since ancient times, the biggest purpose of the official family's banquet is to receive gifts, and this is a bold opportunity to receive benefits, but he didn't expect to receive gifts at all here.

Zheng Chang didn't believe it. When he stretched out his head, he found that mojiazi didn't make empty words, but really didn't accept gifts. What was placed in the concierge was just some children's clothes and no other gifts.

Zheng's family leader took a deep look at Merton and said, "Marquis Mo's behavior really impressed Zheng."

After that, the Zheng family leader turned back in person, took out a set of well-made little girl's clothes from the gift arm and solemnly presented them.

Merton did not have the slightest dislike, but took it with both hands and handed it to Fubo. Lang said, "thank you! Elder Zheng, please, brother Zheng!"

Under the tie of Fubo, the Zheng family leader entered the ink house and saw the courtyard in the ink house where the latest ink technology was used everywhere. He even felt that it was an eye opener, and some of them were not used on the market at all.

"The Mohist school is unfathomable!" Zheng's master said with a calm face. He said that he knew himself and the enemy. He won every battle. When he saw the inside information of the Mohist house, he knew that even if he had been in a stalemate with the five surnames and seven hopes for so long, the Mohist school had not run out of money.

"It's just a trick." Zheng Chang said disapprovingly.

"Yo! Isn't this brother Zheng? He recovered so quickly!" suddenly three figures that Zheng Chang remembered appeared in front of Zheng Chang. It happened that Qin Huaiyu came out after seeing Merton's daughter and met Zheng Chang.

"It's you!" Zheng Chang immediately gnashed his teeth. For a moment, new hatred and old hatred surged into his heart.

Qin Huaiyu frowned and said coldly, "why, I still want to fight, but not today. Today is the full moon banquet for my little niece. You can choose the time and place another day."

"That's it!" Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin step forward at the same time.

"You guys, it is said that friends should be solved rather than tied up. Today is brother Mo's happy day. Xiao is a peacemaker here. It's said that he doesn't know each other if he doesn't fight. It's also a good story for the four to get married. I don't know what elder Zheng thinks." Xiao Rui appeared to persuade him, but his eyes looked at the Zheng family leader.

Zheng's master said, "it should be so."

"Thank you for your generosity, master Zheng!" Xiao Rui said to Qin Huaiyu. Xiao Rui married Li Shimin's eldest daughter, who has high prestige among dandies. Qin Huaiyu and his three sons are also his younger generation.

"Thank you, master Zheng!" Qin Huaiyu said with an arched hand. Although they are not afraid, after all, the Zheng family leader is a leader with five surnames and seven hopes. Even their parents don't want to offend him. Naturally, the three of them go down the slope.

"It's really a rising star. It's rare to have a good talent." Zheng's family leader said with a kind face, as if he saw his favorite younger generation, as if he didn't know that it was the three who beat their son to bed for half a month.

Qin Huaiyu and the three of them felt that they were seen through in front of the whole old fox. They shivered all over and hurriedly found a reason to leave.

"Father, why do you let them go so easily!" Zheng Chang still said reluctantly.

The Zheng family leader Leng hum: "We came here today to ease relations with the Mohists and seek ways to break the situation. We're not here to make trouble, not to mention that Qin Qiong and others have a great influence in the court. Qin Huaiyu and the Mohists are better. If we make bad friends with the three people again, I'm afraid we will fall short of success. Don't ruin the event of five surnames and seven hopes because of our private affairs."

"Yes, father!" Zheng Chang was unwilling, but he could only answer.

"Your majesty and empress arrived!" suddenly a notice came, which immediately attracted the attention of all the guests and hosts. Another reason why they were willing to give support to the Mohist son was that this was the full moon banquet of Princess Changle's daughter. I'm afraid Li Shimin and empress changsun would not be short of seats. This was an opportunity to get in close contact with the emperor.

"See the emperor!"

"See the queen!"

Under the leadership of Merton, a group of guests came to the door of Merton house to meet him.

"Dear Aiqing, it's a family banquet today. You don't need to be polite." Li Shimin said in a loud voice and accompanied the empress changsun out of the carriage.

"Thank you, your majesty!" after all the ministers got up, the atmosphere between the monarchs and ministers warmed up for a moment.

As soon as empress Chang sun waved, a group of palace maids and eunuchs immediately came over with gifts.

"Back to the queen, the ink house will not accept gifts for this full moon banquet." Merton hurried forward.

"Don't accept gifts!" in an instant, Li Shimin and empress Chang sun looked at Merton's guests in surprise.

The master of the Zheng family took the lead in saying, "I admire the high wind and Bright Festival of Mo Hou!"

Other guests also nodded and praised. In any case, Merton's move was morally flawless.

"This is also novel," Li Shimin said with a flash in his eyes. If the atmosphere of not accepting gifts at the banquet is formed, the atmosphere of bribery and wealth collection among officials will be greatly reduced.

"It's ok if others don't accept it, but it's not in this list for the palace to send something to her daughter and granddaughter!" the eldest grandson raised her eyebrow and asked the palace woman to send the gift.

"Thank you, empress mother!" the elder dared not quit. Merton was not an old-fashioned man, so he had to take orders.

All officials smiled knowingly, naturally no one said anything!

With the arrival of Li Shimin and empress Chang sun, the full moon banquet of the eldest daughter of the Mohist school officially began. For a moment, the guests and hosts were seated and delicious dishes were served. What's more, there are rare specialties in the south of the Yangtze River, which filled the guests with food.

After three rounds of wine, Xiao Rui suddenly said, "I've heard that mohou cherishes his daughter very much. Why don't you hold it and let me have a look."

"Yes!" with the coaxing of the guests, Merton had to go into the inner room and hold his daughter out. After a month's growth, his wrinkled little face had been completely opened, very pink and lovely.

"It's a natural beauty!"

The guests praised him one after another.

"Come on! Come on! Grandpa hug!" Li Shimin reached out and took his granddaughter. He couldn't help but look kind and teased her to giggle.

"It's worthy of your Majesty's blood, and it's very related to your majesty." Zheng's family leader echoed.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "that's natural. I'm happy today. I have specially granted my granddaughter princess. As for the land grant, I haven't thought about it yet. It's better for Zhu Qing to have a good plan."

"Princess!" many people were shocked. This woman was just a full moon. Li Shimin even granted her Princess. More importantly, there was a special fief. You know, the fief of Princess Changle is next to Mojia village. If Merton's daughter had another fief, wouldn't there be another area of Mojia Village.

Merton's heart moved and suddenly knew that this must be the reward Li Shimin said a month ago. However, he didn't think that Li Shimin's so-called reward was a fief.

Xiao Rui's eyes flashed. Naturally, he knew that the best fief for Merton's daughter must be adjacent to the Mojia village. However, in this way, the strength of the Mojia village must grow again, which is not in line with the interests of Jiangnan. At present, he moved in his heart: "It is widely said in Chang'an city that mohou once said that his daughter is his father's intimate little cotton padded jacket. Now the Mohists are promoting cotton in Songjiang Prefecture. It's better to seal the princess's land in Songjiang Prefecture. They can transport cotton for Chang'an city every year to fulfill the princess's filial piety."

"Filial piety every year is really a good place." someone immediately agreed.

"Songjiang mansion?" Merton raised his eyebrows. It was a place known as Shanghai beach in later generations. Xiao Rui thought he had avoided the area around the Mojia village, but he didn't know that the selected place was a place that made the Mojia more powerful. If his daughter's fief was chosen in Songjiang Mansion, Merton was sure to build it into a level of prosperity in Chang'an Luoyang in 20 years.

Zheng's family leader was cold in his heart. Songjiang mansion is a place in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, the Xiao family wanted to tie the Mohist son to the south of the Yangtze River. How could he succeed.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Marquis Mo promoted milk feeding for the sake of baby feeding in the world and asked the princess to try it by herself. This is the gospel of the world. He thought that the princess's fief should be in the north where water and grass are abundant, herd dairy cows widely and benefit babies all over the world." Lang Shengdao, the leader of the Zheng family, tried his best to keep the fief of Merton's daughter in the north.

In an instant, everyone was silent. No one thought that the North-South dispute caused by Mohism would spread to his daughter's fief.
