According to the custom, the full moon banquet was usually held before the baby turned one month old. Soon, the day of the Mo family's eldest son's full moon banquet arrived.
Early in the morning, the Mo family began to bustle with noise and excitement. All the servants went to work and cleaned the Mo family's mansion.
The ones in charge of cooking were Uncle Yu and his son. For Mo Tan's full moon banquet, Uncle Yu specially came back from Luoyang. Yu Er was in charge of helping. Yu Zhuangyuan's restaurant was closed today and all the staff came to the Mo family to help. They strived to make everything perfect. It could be seen how much importance the Mo family placed on Mo Tan's full moon banquet.
Mo Tan's birth meant that the Mo family had a successor and that the prosperity of the Mo family could continue. No matter how well Wu Meiniang did, she could not replace it.
"Uncle Li!"
"Uncle Wang!"
"Uncle Zhang!"
The first to arrive at the Mo family's mansion were naturally the villagers. Seeing Li Yi and the others arrive, Meton greeted them.
"Meton has a successor. I, Li Yi, have finally fulfilled my sworn brother's trust. If my sworn brother knew about this in the underworld, he would also be able to smile in the underworld." Li Yi said with tears.
"Brother Li, this is a day of great joy. Don't say such things!" Although Old Zhang was excited, he quickly advised after hearing Li Yi's words.
"Yes! This is a day of great joy. We should be happy. "One-armed Uncle Wang said proudly, but his eyes could not help but moisten.
Meton nodded heavily. Mo Lie passed away early and he was still a child. How could he support the Mo family? Naturally, he relied on the support of Uncle Li and the others to support him until he grew up. It could be said that Meton's achievements today could not go unnoticed.
Li Yi and the others naturally did not stand on ceremony when they arrived at the Mo family's mansion. They quickly went to help and greatly relieved the pressure on Wu Meiniang. Only then did they have time to come to the entrance of the Mo family's mansion and stand there to welcome the guests.
"Congratulations, Marquis Mo, for having a son!" Sun Simiao brought Mo Wu along. The School of Medicine was able to achieve what it was today because of the Mo Family's support. Sun Simiao naturally came personally to congratulate Mo Tan on his full moon celebration.
"Divine Doctor Sun is too courteous, please come in!" Meton hurriedly expressed his gratitude, allowing Mo Wu to bring Divine Doctor Sun into the Mo Clan.
After that, although no one from the Daoist School, Kong Family, or Buddhist School came, they still sent congratulatory gifts. Meton accepted the congratulatory gifts but did not accept any gifts. The three families knew about Meton's rules, so they did not insist on it. They just wanted to express their attitude. After all, the Hundred Schools of Thought had yet to shed all pretense of cordiality.
The three families had just left when Mister Han arrived. Behind him was an unfamiliar young man. The young man hid behind Mister Han, trying to hide behind him.
"Teacher!" Meton hurried forward.
Han Fuzi laughed and said, "Time really flies. Even you, Meton, have a son and a daughter. Teacher is getting old."
Han Fuzi was already the oldest doctor in the Imperial College. After resigning from the Imperial College, he joined the Mo Family Village. Adding on the fact that he was managing the Law Journal, his aging was especially serious in recent years.
"Teacher, you're old but vigorous. Why are you sighing so much?" Moton laughed.
Han Fuzi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The Old Man's body can't hold on for many more years. Today, I came to congratulate you. Secondly, the Old Man has taken in a new disciple. I specially introduced him to you. In the future, I'm afraid that he will represent the Old Man to cooperate with the Mo Family."
"Oh! So it's that young talent that caught Teacher's eye! " Modun's face was full of surprise. For Teacher Han to give such instructions, he must be very satisfied with this disciple.
Han Fuzi waved his hand and said, "Wai Ying, this is Mo Jiazi, whom you admire the most. According to seniority, he is also your senior. Come forward and greet him."
The young man behind Han Fuzi looked away and stepped forward helplessly, "Wai Ying greets senior."
"It's you?" Wu Meiniang looked at the young man and said coldly.
Meton's eyes flashed and said, "Have you met before?"
Wu Meiniang raised her nose slightly and said proudly, "Who knows him? He's just a nerd who meddles in other people's business."
The young man could not help but smile awkwardly and did not refute.
After Meton and Han Fuzi understood the specific situation, they could not help but laugh. They did not expect such an interesting thing to happen.
"This is the new disciple of Teacher. His surname is Wai Ying and his name is Wai Ying. He is obsessed with the law and hates evil. He can't bear to see anything that violates the law. Stopping Mei Niang from riding a horse on the street? I'm afraid this is something that my young disciple would do. " Han Fuzi was not angry but happy. He had to admit that Di Renjie's behavior was quite in line with his temperament. He also could not tolerate sand in his eyes.
"Di Renjie?" Meton was shocked. He did not expect the famous Di Renjie to appear in front of him. He had met Di Renjie's father before and was tempted. However, Di Renjie did not study the School of Mohism and had already taken Wu Meiniang as his disciple. Meton did not have such thoughts. He did not expect that Di Renjie would be taken in by Han Fuzi.
"I've always been busy and didn't have the time to discipline Mei Niang. That's why Mei Niang has become so lawless. Huaiying can actually make Mei Niang obey the law and be so righteous. It's clear that Teacher has good taste. It's really a blessing for the School of Legalism to be able to find such a hidden gem." Moton couldn't help praising.
"Hidden gem!" Han Fuzi heard Meton's praise and could not help but be happy. He brought Di Renjie to Meton with the intention of letting Meton take a look at him. He did not expect that Meton would have such a high opinion of Di Renjie.
"Why don't you thank your Senior Brother for his guidance? I hope you will live up to these words in the future." Han Fuzi turned around and advised Di Renjie.
"Senior Brother, you flatter me. I don't deserve it." Di Renjie was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Congratulations, Teacher, you have a successor. Mei Niang, Wai Ying is still young, so you receive him." Meton saw another guest coming and told Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang pouted and led Di Renjie into the Mo Mansion unwillingly. When her Master was out of sight, she stared at Di Renjie fiercely and said, "Boy, you dare to make a name for yourself by stepping on me. Since you have been apprenticed to Han Fuzi, you will stay in the Mo Family Village. Let's see if you can still be arrogant when you fall into my hands."
"What boy? According to seniority, you should call me Uncle Master." Di Renjie touched the Law of the Tang Dynasty in his sleeve and forced himself to be calm.
"Uncle Master? You are younger than me. How dare you boast so shamelessly." Wu Meiniang angrily rebuked.
Di Renjie said boldly, "Age is not the key to ambition, let alone seniority. Besides, Merton and I are half of the same master." "Don't try to flatter me.
You are from the school of Legalism and your Master is from the school of Mohism. Calling you Senior Brother or Junior Brother is just a formality. Don't take it seriously. I don't know if my Master has misjudged you. He actually said that you are a lost treasure. If you dare to provoke me again, I will beat you into a pig's head. "Wu Meiniang clenched her fist and threatened. Then she threw Di Renjie aside and left proudly.
Di Renjie raised his hand and the Law of the Tang Dynasty was in his palm. He suddenly became bolder and said, "According to the Law of the Tang Dynasty, if you beat someone for no reason, you will be imprisoned for a month or fined three times. I heard that Wu Meiniang is a master of the art of Mohism and has a lot of money. If she pays for her crime with money, then I will …"
Di Renjie suddenly fell into a dilemma.
