"It's all your fault."
Yun Shishi blamed him. "You wanted to hug her the moment you came back. She's still sleeping. It's not like you don't know that the little one cries when she's not awake!"
Mu Yazhe didn't think much of it. "It's been a hard day. Isn't it only right to come back and hug my little princess?!"
As he spoke, he gently kissed little Yueyao's forehead as a form of consolation. Seeing that she was crying, he coaxed her patiently without the slightest bit of impatience or helplessness like a newbie stay-at-home dad!
He was already able to handle little Yueyao's cries with ease.
He suddenly took out a small red brocade box from his pocket. It looked very exquisite. He handed the box to her and gestured, "Open it and take a look!"
Yun Shishi took it curiously and looked at him. Puzzled, she asked, "What's this?"
"Open it and you'll know!"
Yun Shishi raised her eyebrows and opened the box. Inside the box lay a small but exceptionally exquisite longevity lock made of pure silver.
Longevity locks, also known as longevity strands, were usually worn during a 100-day banquet or when a child was one year old. The longevity lock was worn to prevent diseases and spirits from invading and harming the child.
In ancient times, people believed that once a child wore a lock, he or she would be able to grow up safe and sound.
Longevity locks were mostly made of pure silver and were engraved with the words "long life and riches." People believed that locks were sealing devices. Once a door or box was locked, it could only be opened with a key. Therefore, it was believed that longevity locks could lock up health and life.
This was a rather superstitious way of saying it!
At first, Mu Yazhe didn't pay much attention to this. After all, he didn't have much experience and didn't understand many of the more traditional rules and sayings.
However, on the 100-day banquet, a female guest suddenly asked, "Why didn't you give the child a longevity lock?"
When Mu Yazhe heard this, he was a little puzzled. What was a longevity lock?
Thus, the upper-class lady explained it to him. Mu Yazhe didn't think much of it.
However, when he returned home from work today, he didn't know why, but he went to the jewelry store and chose a nice design. He bought a longevity lock for his little Yueyao.
"Longevity lock?"
Yun Shishi was surprised and said coquettishly, "Didn't you say that these are all superstitions and not to be believed?!"
Mu Yazhe's face turned red with embarrassment. Then, he explained seriously, "Although it's a superstition, it's reasonable that it exists. I'd rather believe it!"
"Oh?"
Yun Shishi took the longevity lock in her hand and rubbed it with her fingers. She said, "You can't just buy a longevity lock just because you want to! When Yueyao was twelve years old, he still had to remember to ask for a golden key to restore it! Otherwise, it wouldn't be effective and sincere enough! Actually, I think that there are some traditions that you either don't believe in. If you believe in them, you have to believe in them sincerely and revere them. "
As she said this, she put the longevity lock around little Yueyao's neck. As she put it on for her, she made a sincere wish in her heart. I hope that Yueyao will be safe and sound in this life, and live a long life of wealth and prosperity!
She didn't know why, but when she fastened the longevity lock, little Yueyao blinked and stopped crying!
How strange!
