Chapter 462 Full Moon Banquet
Chapter 462 Full Moon Banquet
Ji Xingle wrote a letter and returned to Ji City, asking Fu Leyu to give it to Ji Caifu and others.
When Fu Leyu and the others learned that Huangfu Xinyue had given birth to a daughter, they were overjoyed. They took out the clothes they had made for the child in their spare time and asked Ji Xingle to give them to Huangfu Xinyue.
There were also supplements that were usually sent by other officials' wives, and Ji Xingle gave them all to Huangfu Xinyue to replenish her body.
Seeing this, Ji Xingle quickly blocked it;
"Keep these things for yourselves. Is there anything else over there? Okay, Xin, you can give them to mom and the others in a few days. Xinyue can't leave without someone. I'm leaving first."
After saying this, in the face of their reluctant looks, he hugged them and kissed each of them to comfort them.

Ji Xingle returned to Huangfu Xinyue's room and saw that he was still sleeping. Old Thirteen was also sleeping soundly under the care of his wet dad.
Days passed by, and soon it was the full month of the thirteenth child. The thirteenth child was really lazy. In this month, except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, she didn't make a sound.
She is really the opposite of her fourth sister Ji Sichen, one likes to cry and the other is silent.
Ji Caifu and his friends and Fu Leyu and their friends had prepared the gifts long ago. Ji Yunchi and Ji Xingyi took their little sisters and brothers to pack up their favorite toys.
None of them were cheap, because Ji Xingle had told them that Old Thirteen loved money and was a money-grubber...
On the day when the Thirteenth Child was one month old, Ji Xingle put the gifts sent by the family in a circle and put her inside. She seemed to know that these things were expensive.
It lay obediently in the circle, without anyone's coaxing it, and was smiling from ear to ear. It weighed more than 7 kilograms when it was born, and gained kilograms during the one-month confinement. It was chubby, and wearing a red lion dance costume, it looked very festive and lovable.
The officials and merchants who came to attend the full moon banquet were all amazed by the two zodiac animals made of gold and silver.
There were also gold and silver ingots of various sizes, carved jade objects, and even toys made of gold, silver and jade. The scene was simply inhumane.
For a moment, many of them felt fortunate that when they gave gifts, they did not look down on the other party just because the other party was a minister of another country.
When the Queen saw the valuables around Old Thirteen, she was secretly shocked. This man's family was really rich. Fortunately, her gift was not bad.
A dagger was made of thousands of taels of silver, and a little tiger was engraved on the outside of the scabbard, which was both cute and domineering.
Seeing that the queen was so sincere, Ji Xingle even put the dagger next to the child.
Seeing this, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with the officials with a smile on her face.
Yue'e's father also came with his daughter. Now Huangfu Xinrong can speak a lot, although her speech is unclear, but it does not prevent her from liking Balabala...
Old Thirteen thought that someone had come to give her a gift again, and laughed with his mouth wide open. But Gong Nan had just put Huangfu Xinrong down, and out of curiosity, Huangfu Xinrong had just touched the gifts.
The Thirteenth Old Man burst into tears, scaring Huangfu Xinrong into crying too. For a moment, the servants and palace men were extremely nervous.
Huangfu Xinyue and his father looked at each other and burst into laughter;
"You wrote in your letter that Old Thirteen was a money-grubber. I thought you were joking! I didn't expect it to be so obvious. Your sister just touched it and she started crying. Isn't she really that capable?"
Huangfu Xinyue smiled somewhat embarrassedly;
"Now you believe what I say, right?"
Yue'e's father glanced at his crying daughter, and seeing that nothing was wrong, he asked curiously;
"So what are you going to do with these things after the banquet is over?"
Huangfu Xinyue scratched his head, feeling somewhat helpless;
"Xingle said that we should record these things and put the notebook next to her when the time comes."
"Oh my goodness! She's only one month old. How did you find out about this?"
At this point, Huangfu Xinyue became excited, full of disbelief;
"Xingle discovered it. When she was holding the child, the child kept reaching up and screaming when he couldn't reach up.
Xingle recalled what she had said to the child when he was born. It happened that she had a piece of jade around her neck that day.
Seeing the child's grasping state, Xingle thought it shouldn't be that weird, but she still took off the jade from her neck and put it in the child's hand.
Although she couldn't catch it, she smiled immediately. Later we tried several times and asked the servant to hold her with the jewelry, but he didn't respond.
When we hold her with the jewelry on, she starts crying before the things are in her hands..."
Upon hearing this, Yue'e's father was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth;
"This little girl, she only cries about expensive things? It's really amazing."
The other officials and businessmen who came to see the child also heard this conversation. They all found it incredible. How could such a young child be so powerful?
They came forward with good intentions, bowed to Yue E's father and Huangfu Xinyue, and asked;
"Fifteenth Prince, we happen to have some valuable jewelry. Can you let us try to see if the young lady is really so obsessed with money?"
Without waiting for Huangfu Xinyue to answer, they quickly added;
"If my lady likes our jewelry, we will give it to her as a gift..."
Hearing this, Huangfu Xinyue and Yue'e's father looked at each other and said with a smile;
"Sure! But don't bring anything too valuable..."
Before Huangfu Xinyue could finish her words, they rushed to say;
"Fifteenth Prince, there is no need to say this. We are just trying to have fun. This can be considered a meeting gift from our elders to the younger generation, unless you dislike our gift..."
Hearing this, Huangfu Xinyue raised the corner of her mouth and reached out to them;
“You guys try it!”
Seeing this, several people came forward happily, starting with the Grand Master, who showed the jade bracelet in his hand to Old Thirteen.
Huangfu Xinyue took a look and took a deep breath. This was a piece of fine jade that kept warm in winter and cool in summer. There was only one piece of it in Shuifan State. It was also a good thing left by their ancestors. This was not acceptable.
Without waiting for Huangfu Xinyue to stop him, Old Thirteen grabbed the bracelet and refused to let go. Seeing this, Huangfu Xinyue said to the Grand Tutor;
"Master Fu, you can't use this. It's too valuable. Take it back quickly..."
As he was about to take the thing from Old Thirteen, Old Thirteen refused and started crying loudly.
The master Taifu smiled;
"It's okay. I told you it's a gift. Besides, my little lady likes it."
"No, no, it would be fine if you took something else just now, but this is too valuable, put it away quickly."
The Master Taifu waved his hand hastily;
"It's okay, it's okay. There's no reason to take back something that has been given away."
Having said that, he ignored Huangfu Xinyue and continued to tease Old Thirteen with the others.
?(*^^)o?*?o(^^*)?———dividing line
Seeing that the Grand Tutor refused to take it back, and Old Thirteen kept howling, Yue'e's father whispered to Huangfu Xinyue;
"Take the things down first, and send them back after the party is over..."
Hearing this, Huangfu Xinyue nodded and sighed;
"Well, that's all."
Just like that, after a while, they had lost several pieces of jewelry. During this time, they even took off other people's jewelry to tease Old Thirteen, but she didn't even look at them.
They didn't believe it and put things in front of her. Old Thirteen turned around faster than them and finally closed his eyes.
The Master Taifu and the others thought that Old Thirteen was sleepy, but when they took away the cheap jewelry, Old Thirteen opened his eyes and smiled in their direction...
After repeating this several times, the Master Taifu and the others were finally convinced by the jewelry they gave.
The banquet started. When Old Thirteen saw that no one was bringing money, he closed the restaurant, yawned, and wanted to sleep.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she started howling again. Fortunately, Huangfu Xinyue had not left yet, and she had gotten to know her temperament over the past month.
Pick her up gently and tell her how many gifts she has received today and what they are.
Then he asked the steward to remember it, and after remembering it, he assured her that there were enough things, he would not take anything from her, and that he had money at home and would not be greedy for her, so that she could rest assured...
Old Thirteen listened carefully, yawned after listening, and fell asleep.
Huangfu Xinyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw this. She handed the child to the servant and asked him to take her to the room to sleep.
......
After the banquet, everyone went back home. Huangfu Xinyue and Ji Xingle went to see Old Thirteen. They saw that she had gotten up to eat and had just gone to bed.
They returned to the room, washed up and lay on the bed. Huangfu Xinyue then had time to tell Ji Xingle about the other gifts given by the officials and merchants today, as well as Old Thirteen's reaction to those things.
Hearing this, Ji Xingle nodded to indicate that he understood.
Before Huangfu Xinyue could ask Ji Xingle what gift he should give in return, Ji Xingle blocked his mouth.
"Uh huh~"
After a while, the atmosphere in the house was ambiguous and intoxicating...

The next day
Ji Xingle asked the steward to list the names of the wives whose children they had given gifts to yesterday.
Afterwards, the officials sent back gifts of similar value, and specially gave each person two boxes of fruit.
As for the merchants, Ji Xingle helped them to establish connections and facilitate their business.
On the side of Master Taifu, Ji Xingle went to Old Thirteen's storehouse, took out the piece of white jade, and asked the servants to send it back.
Old Thirteen seemed to sense something and started crying loudly, and no one could comfort him.
Huangfu Xinyue was confused and extremely anxious, so she asked someone to find Ji Xingle and explain the reason to him.
Ji Xingle asked about the time when Old Thirteen had been crying, and the servant gave a rough estimate.
Hearing this, Ji Xingle raised his eyebrows. Is it really that weird?
Following the servant back home, Ji Xingle went to the study again, and when he came out, he took the blue and white porcelain that she had placed in the study in his hands.
As soon as I stepped into Old Thirteen's yard, I heard her loud voice, "Didn't you say you were lazy? Didn't you cry often?"
When Huangfu Xinyue saw Ji Xingle, she hurried forward with red eyes;
"My dear wife, please come and see what happened to Sister Yan. I asked the imperial physician to come and see her and he said she is fine.
But she just kept crying, and we tried to comfort her for a long time but it didn't stop. Will she get hurt by crying like this?"
Ji Xingle held the blue and white porcelain in one hand and Huangfu Xinyue in the other hand to keep her safe;
"Don't cry, I'm here, it's okay."
Hearing this, Huangfu Xinyue nodded. Indeed, he felt relieved that she had come. His wife would always find a way to solve the problem.
"My dear wife, what is this in your hand?"
Ji Xingle sighed;
"The magic elixir that can save Sister Yan."
Hearing this, Huangfu Xinyue paused while wiping her tears.
"Ah? Huh? My wife, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Ji Xingle smiled and didn't explain much, he simply said;
"You'll know just by looking at it."
After saying that, Ji Xingle let go of Huangfu Xinyue, walked to the servant holding the child, stretched out his hand to take Old Thirteen, and said calmly;
"Don't cry, little money-grubber. I found you something more valuable than that piece of jade.
It was my fault. I took your things without your consent. I apologize to you. Can you forgive me?"
Hearing this, Old Thirteen, who had been crying non-stop, immediately stopped crying. Before his eyes could clearly see where the object was,
After taking a rough look and reaching out to grab a few, Ji Xingle handed the blue and white porcelain to her. After a while, Old Thirteen burst into laughter.
Everyone in the room was shocked. Isn't the young master too amazing? He knows these things at such a young age. What will he be like when he grows up?
When Huangfu Xinyue saw that Old Thirteen had stopped crying, she stepped forward and hugged her, saying angrily:
“You little money-grubber, you little fool, the things have been sent back, won’t you wait until your mother comes back before you cry?
It almost scared me to death, you know that? "
Ji Xingle asked the servants to put the blue and white porcelain away carefully, and then he held the father and daughter in his arms and said gently;
"Thanks a lot."
Huangfu Xinyue shook her head, and seeing that no one was around, she turned to Ji Xingle and said;
"Master Ji, you have to think of a way?"
"Huh? What?"
"Yan Jie'er's love for money is too scary. We have to find a way to cure her. She is so serious now at such a young age. If we don't take care of her, what if she becomes more rampant when she grows up?"
Hearing this, Ji Xingle burst out laughing, and Huangfu Xinyue stamped her feet anxiously;
"Master Ji, what are you laughing at? I'm serious."
Seeing this, Ji Xingle put away his smile and raised the corners of his mouth;
"Don't worry, have you forgotten what we promised her before she was born?
As long as she doesn't do anything illegal, we will let her do whatever she wants.
Besides, our family is rich. We own four major countries and our family has countless properties.
No matter how greedy she is, how much can she go? Maybe when she grows up and sees that there is so much money and countless delicacies at home, she will not be so anxious about hoarding money. "
Hearing this, Huangfu Xinyue glanced at the Thirteenth Child in her arms again. Seeing her innocently sucking her fingers, her heart almost melted.
Thinking of those words, he would rather believe it than not believe it, and nodded towards Ji Xingle;
"Master Ji, what you said makes sense. Maybe I am really overthinking..."
Seeing that he was no longer stubborn, Ji Xingle rubbed his head and said softly;
"I'll hold the baby."
"it is good."
Holding the child in his arms, Ji Xingle took out a few colored cards and started interacting with Old Thirteen.
Huangfu Xinyue saw this and went to the corner to get the bell toy as well;
"Master Ji, put the baby in the crib!"
"Row."
Ji Xingle put the child in the crib, and he and Huangfu Xinyue started playing with the baby.
Old Thirteen also cooperated very well, looking up and down, left and right, twisting his body, kicking his legs and laughing from time to time.
Ji Xingle and Huangfu Xinyue also laughed heartily from time to time.
