Not long after the New Year, Wang Ruiyan was discharged from confinement. Because they were worried that she would not recover well, the doctor and the medicine boy stayed in the mansion to be ready for her.
Not long after Wang Ruiyan came out of confinement, it was her daughter Xiaohua's full moon banquet. In order to prepare for this full moon banquet, Zuo Zheng had been busy in the mansion.
As an adult, Li Mofu naturally had to prepare a gift for the newborn, but to be honest, he had no knowledge of gift-giving, so he had no idea what to give the baby.
Zhao Xu said that he had given the Immortality Lock as a gift. It was aquamarine in color, making Li Mofu envious.
Zuo Zheng said that he gave the silver bracelet as a gift, and it was inlaid with a pearl-sized ruby, which made people want to pick it off.
Okay, Li Mofu said that if it really doesn't work, he would give her an anklet. However, Wang Ruiyan said that the daughters of wealthy families don't have the habit of wearing anklets.
Finally, after much deliberation, Li Mofu decided to give her a small gold-inlaid sword, which cost him several hundred-silver bills.
When Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng found out, they both laughed at Li Mofu for giving a sword to a little girl. Although almost everyone in the Lu family practiced martial arts, there was no custom for women to do so. Moreover, Lu Fengning had the image of a handsome scholar, and Wang Ruiyan also came from a scholarly family. Wouldn't it be a big deal if their daughters practiced martial arts?
But Wang Ruiyan liked it very much. Perhaps it was because she had suffered a lot during this escape, or perhaps it was because she still had some modern ideas, so she did not think it was a tiring thing for women to practice martial arts.
In any case, even if the child cannot become a capable and righteous person in the future, he or she can still keep healthy. At least Wang Ruiyan thinks this is also an option for the child and she will not stop it.
On the day of the full moon banquet, Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng didn't invite anyone else. They just prepared the food themselves and gathered with their acquaintances to celebrate. The old lady and Lu Nianhuan also came to join in the fun, giving gifts and blessings, and the atmosphere was quite friendly.
After the full moon banquet, it will be February.
At Xiaoqi's urging, Li Mofu often accompanied him to see the baby. Even though Xiaoqi lived nearby, he still wanted to go with him. Perhaps it was because life had changed since arriving at the Zhao Mansion compared to when they were fleeing. Xiaoqi didn't know anyone here, Mo Yi was often out, and Wang Ruiyan and Qiuxiang had their own things to do, so Li Mofu and Guozi became the people he liked to visit.
Even the donkey, Xiaoqi would go to see it two or three times a day.
Out of sympathy and understanding, Li Mofu would accompany him to see the baby and say a few words to Shang Jiu who was guarding there.
As his visits became more frequent, Li Mofu gradually realized that Wang Ruiyan still rarely left her room. It was almost the same as during her confinement period, she would stay indoors as long as possible. Later, he overheard a few conversations between Qiuxiang and Wang Ruiyan and learned that Wang Ruiyan was still a little weak. The doctor advised that she should stay indoors for a few more days to recuperate, otherwise it might affect her future fertility.
After learning about this, Qiuxiang no longer dared to let Wang Ruiyan run around, and she urged her to rest more every day. Xiaoqi said that if Xiaohua cried while Wang Ruiyan was holding her, Qiuxiang would quickly persuade Wang Ruiyan to let the nanny take Xiaohua away, saying that she wanted the nanny to comfort the child, but in fact she didn't want Xiaohua to disturb Wang Ruiyan's peace and quiet.
Xiao Qi liked Xiao Hua very much, so when he said this, it sounded like he was complaining, with a hint of accusation towards Qiu Xiang. However, Li Mofu just patted his head and said nothing more.
In fact, Qiuxiang's behavior is in line with the thinking of women of that era. After all, Wang Ruiyan's baby is not a boy, and they believe that it would not be acceptable if she does not give birth to a boy.
But this wasn't a thought they had developed on their own, but rather one that society had instilled in them. Women who didn't give birth to sons lived a miserable life; this was the reality of society, and Qiuxiang was afraid that Wang Ruiyan would end up like that.
