TSBFL Chapter 132.2
Chapter 132.2: 番外 百日宴
Extra: The Hundred Days Banquet
After the two children (one year old) were placed on the table by their parents, they sat there without crying or fussing, staring at their relatives standing in front of them with their big round eyes.
Gu Lang finished speaking to the following, and then looked down to the two children who were staring at him, and continued, “My Fu Lang gave me a pair of dragon and phoenix babies (twins of mixed sex), and this is the 100th day, so it’s time for me to give them a name.”
“My daughter, her name is Gu Shuang.”
“My son, his name is Gu Ling.”
After Gu Lang had said these words, he took down two gold locks of longevity—ornaments shaped like a lock worn by a child as a symbol of longevity) from the tray carried by the subordinates and put them on the children one by one.
After all this, the long table which was empty just now was filled with all sorts of things, waiting for the children to start catching the toys. ( The grabbing test on a baby’s first birthday).
“Okay, it’s time to start [ The custom of placing a variety of articles (writing brush, abacus etc) before an infant on its first birthday to see which one he or she picks up (The article chosen is supposed to be an indication of the child’s inclinations, future career etc.)].”
After hearing Gu Lang’s words, Chen Xing and Gu Lang went forward and turned the two children who were still playing with the new decorations on their necks around so that they were facing the things to be caught.
Facing the child’s puzzled gaze, Chen Xing patted his little buttocks, and then whispered, “Go, Gu Ling, go find what you like.”
Xiao Bao blinked his eyes for a moment, and after his own little bum was patted again, he seemed to understand his mother and father’s meaning only in hindsight, and slowly crawled towards the pile of things.
There are books, gold bars, abacuses, brocade cloth, pens, and small wooden swords…. none of them were not made with care.
The people only saw the older one, climbed first to the pile of things, looked around, seemed to be a little indecisive, and then went down to grab the brightly coloured brocade cloth.
The people on the other side laughed, “Worthy of being the eldest lady of the Gu family, she likes these kinds of beautiful things.”
Before that person finished speaking, Gu Shuang put down the piece of brocade cloth, he didn’t know whether it was intentionally or unintentionally, the cloth that was originally folded up, by how she did it, it was already spread out into a piece.
“Aiya, it seems that Young Miss qualification (determining the nature (of an offense, a case, etc.) is not enough!”
“Still the Elder Young Master is great, the Young Master has already started to take the third one.”
They didn’t know what Gu Ling was thinking, when he picked up the calculator for the first time, the people thought he was going to settle on this, who knew that she immediately took the calculator with one hand, and then went to pick up the small golden beans on the side with the other hand, and then put those on himself, and then went to get enough of the jade pen which was not far away.
And then, in the giggling gazes from the sidelines, we saw that the young lady, who was called “determine the nature, not enough yet”, crawled over to her younger brother and patted him on the shoulder, babbling something, and then the younger brother also looked at the brocade cloth that had just been spread out.
Gu Ling’s chubby face seemed to appear a bit cautious, and then we saw him slowly crawling over and putting all the things in his hands.
The next half an hour, the guests who came to the banquet, watched with open eyes as the two children piled everything they thought they wanted inside the brocade, and when they felt it was almost done, they dragged two corners each and slowly crawled towards the direction of Chen Xing.
Everyone was shocked to see the way they were going to take all the things they wanted. (aka to catch the whole lot in a dragnet; round up the whole gang at one fell swoop)
In the years that followed, the Gu family’s weekly feast was mentioned every time, and it would be talked about for a long time.
Chen Xing doesn’t know how others talk about his child, he does not care, he is just looking at the one who climbs to the front, their babbling child, their shocked expression can not be stopped.
Perhaps seeing Chen Xing did not respond for half a day, Gu Ling very impatiently tugged on the corner of his coat, mouth babbling louder and louder.
Chen Xing does not know whether other people’s children are also this smart. At this time, seeing Xiao Bao’s behavior, his heart is softened into a puddle. He lowered his head and gently said to Xiao Bao: “What’s wrong?”
Gu Ling looked at him, and then looked at the results of him and his sister, patted the little cloth bag, babbling more and more energetically.
Chen Xing did not know what he wanted to express, stood there not knowing what to do, only to see Gu Shuang pulled over his hand, put his hand inside the bag and then pressed with his own small hand, his face full of a domineering look as he looked at Chen Xing.
Looking at the chubby little face surfaced, these are all ‘I conquer the world’ expressions. Chen Xing’s heart was budding a tremulous one, then his voice trembling as he guessed: “You guys, is this what you want to give to your daddy?”
Originally he thought the child would not understand his words, the moment Chen Xing asked it out in the next second, his face especially serious as he nodded his head, seems to be in response to his guess.
Chen Xing looked at the two children nodding, only felt touched to tears as if it were going to be out of the water, with one of his hands, he gave him a hug, then kissed them twice, voices contained with a bit of a sob, “You guys are really good children! Father loves both of you the most.”
Hearing Chen Xing’s words, Gu Lang, who had been standing by the side, slightly narrowed his eyes, turned his head to look at the two little brats who were smiling brightly in his arms, thinking that their room was still too close to his and Chen Xing’s room, so that, when they grew up a little bit more, he would let them move to the courtyard next to it, so as to prevent them from thinking of some strange and bizarre tricks to attract Chen Xing’s attention all day long.
