Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

In the spring of 1978, the entrance of Wu’s house was decorated with lights and firecrackers, and people were coming and going.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wu, on the birth of your precious grandson. I hope he grows up healthily and has a bright future!"

"Mr. Wu has a grandson!"

"I am delighted to hear that your family has a new grandson. I wish Young Master Wu a healthy and happy growth, and a bright future. I also wish your family happiness and joy."

Everyone who came and went congratulated the Wu family on the birth of their new baby with a smile on their face.

"Congratulations, I heard your family has also had a new daughter, and she is so stunningly beautiful!"

"How can you tell when the child is still young? Your grandson, Mr. Liu, is very smart and will definitely be a pillar of society in the future."

"Hey, hello, Mr. Zhang! Please come in."

Mr. Wu and the second son of the Wu family were welcoming guests at the door, while the old lady of the Wu family was entertaining the female guests inside. The eldest son of the Wu family was following behind his wife, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family was sitting there holding a baby wearing a red baby clothes with a hundred blessings pattern on it.

The people around gathered around the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family to congratulate her on the birth of her son.

When the second son of the Wu family brought Mr. Zhang in, the eldest son of the Wu family was a little unhappy, but before he could say anything, he was sent away by his mother to do other things.

After all the guests arrived, Mr. Wu raised his wine glass and gave a speech first, and then started the next part - the "Zhuazhou" ceremony.

Under the lobby plaque was a large red mat, on which were placed all kinds of items, including seals, books, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, account books, jewelry, flowers, rouge, food, and toys.

The baby was a little uncomfortable being placed on the cold ground. He looked back at his mother and reached out to scratch.

"Baby, go and have a look around the floor to see if there's anything you like." The mother encouraged the baby and let him pick something he liked from the floor.

The baby sat there and looked around, then suddenly lay down on the ground and crawled in one direction.

The baby first grabbed a seal and then crawled towards the second son of the Wu family. He held onto the second son's trouser legs and stood up little by little, then handed the seal in his hand to the second son.

Wu Laoer's originally serious face was wrinkled with smile. He held his nephew in his arms and shook him around. After taking the seal, he put his nephew back on the mat for the "Zhuazhou" ceremony.

The people around also burst into laughter, saying that this child was a filial child.

Mr. Wu was also stroking his beard and smiling.

After the baby returned to the mat again, he grabbed a square book and smeared his saliva on the book.

Before anyone around said anything, the baby's father could no longer sit still.

"You unlucky child, this is my treasure, how come you made my mouth full of saliva?"

Wu Yiqiong wanted to go forward to rescue his treasured books, but his father's eyes nailed him to the spot. He shrank his head and muttered, "That is really a rare collection of books!"

The guests nearby also spoke highly of him.

"Mr. Wu, your family will have a scholar and expert in the future."

"Mr. Wu, your grandson will definitely be an extremely intelligent child in the future."

Everyone was talking at once with praises, and some even wanted to arrange marriages for their children, but they were all rejected by Grandpa Wu, who said that in the future he would let the children choose someone they liked, and that his children and grandchildren would have their own blessings.

After the excitement was over, Mr. Wu sat on a chair and watched the servants tidying up the tables and chairs, and sighed, "This may be the last glory of our Wu family!"

"Dad, what are you talking about! As long as I, Wu Lao San, am here, the glory of our Wu family will definitely continue."

"Mirror images, just mirror images."

After saying this, Mr. Wu put his hands behind his back and left the lobby dejectedly.

Wu Laosan looked at his father's lonely appearance, his hands on both sides tightly grasping the edge of his trousers.

In the winter of that year, Xie Laojiu took his golden grandson and showed him off everywhere.

On this day, Xie Laojiu was in the manor at Wanchongshan, holding this delicate little baby and showing off, when Hua Yu happened to see him at first sight.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiu. I like your child very much. Please leave him with me and I will raise him for you." It was clearly a question, but Hua Yu turned it into an affirmative sentence.

"Hahahahahahaha, Master Jiu, ah Master Jiu, you've been everywhere in the world, but it has only come this moment." Er Yuehong was sitting aside and watching Xie Laojiu who was originally in high spirits, but suddenly, his face became gloomy.

"What's wrong? Master Xie Jiu is unwilling?"

"Young Master, what are you talking about? It is a blessing for my Yuchen to have your favor."

Although Xie Laojiu was reluctant, he was willing to let his grandson be raised by the young master. As long as his grandson did not offend Hua Yu, no one in Yanjing, not to mention the entire Long Kingdom, would dare to touch his grandson.

"Then I'll trouble Master Jiu to find some time to send over some of the child's usual wet nurses. I'll prepare all the other clothes, rooms, etc."

Xie Laojiu carefully placed his grandson in Hua Yu's hands, then looked at his little grandson who was smiling brightly in someone else's arms, and suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
