When the two princes were one hundred days old The people in the tribe who had been counting the days until the little prince's celebration had woken up early to prepare for this evening's banquet. Those who went hunting gathered together and went out. Some of them prepared various toys. Give it to the little prince. What about the many clothes that the tribe had prepared as gifts to welcome the two little princes?
Now the Xiongnu clan was no longer as poor as before. They all did their own jobs and sold products at reasonable prices to the big stewards. The itinerary of the caravan within the tribe departs every six months, so that everyone can earn enough for the goods sold to them before the trip. Each caravan would take no more than five months to return to the tribe. This is because the products of the tribe often have merchants along the border waiting to receive them and resell them. Therefore, the big butler did not need to travel far as he had previously worried. As for the income in the He Province, someone would send it back to the master of the tribe once a year. Including every account book that the head butler must check himself.
On this day, there were many lively people in the tribe who came to help prepare the food and place for the celebration. Shuang Zhizhi made a baby stroller for his two younger siblings a month ago. He also had his servants sew soft cushions to place inside the wheelchairs for his younger siblings. The first time Shuang Zhizhi tried to get the younger ones to sit in them, they fussed a little because they were used to being hugged when they were right. carry Feeling that the two of them had been left in a strange place, they became fussy.
So Shuang Zhizhi brought toys that he made to make loud noises to lure the younger siblings until they stopped crying and became interested in the toys instead. Shuang Zhizhi then tried pushing the cart and found that there was no vibration from the movement that caused his little brother to hurt himself. Shuang Zhizhi then pushed the cart to show off to his father and mother who were drinking tea and relaxing while waiting for the celebration in the Royal Garden.
Zhuang Kang and Shuang Zihua both praised their eldest son for being able to create things for his younger brother to use like this. Zhuang Kang talked with his wife about having Zizhi change to the surname Zhuang like his younger siblings. He would announce Zizhi as the heir to the throne with a new surname but using the old name for her to know. In this matter, Shuang Zihua did not object to her husband. When she gave her son a surname it was because she didn't know his surname. So she gave him a simple name like this. When Zhuang Kang said she would change her son's surname, she reluctantly agreed. Her husband also said that she had a good name. The word chi means to have wisdom. The more intelligent their eldest son had been since childhood, the more suitable the name was. It made Shuang Zhihua quite delighted at the simple name. Her things really have good meaning.
A family of five waited for the opening ceremony just before sunset. So they walked out of the palace and into the city square together. Shuang Zhizhi's stroller came out into the view of the clan. Everyone looked at it in surprise, having never seen a stroller like this before. They waited for the banquet to begin before asking the Grand Prince later. Now in the clan it was well known that the Grand Prince often liked to invent things. They often saw unusual items that the Grand Prince brought out to use or gave to the people in the clan until they became accustomed to it. And the Prince himself also doesn't skimp on knowledge if anyone wants to learn about his inventions.
Today, Zhuang Kang still let Grand Uncle announce the start of the banquet. Including the appointment of Zhuang Zi as the heir to the throne. along with the granting of names to both princes at the same time Ye Rongrong, who received the highest honor from his grandson, immediately used his profound energy to let out a voice filled with joy for everyone in the clan to hear.
" The heavens have graciously granted our Xiongnu clan a prince and his wife who have sacrificed for the tribe since he became the clan head. As a result, our clan now has two more Princes. Today marks the 100th day of the two Princes. The prince therefore ordered a banquet to be held on this day so that the people of the tribe could join together in wishing blessings to the two princes. I am the Prince's representative. There is one thing that must be announced to everyone before announcing the names that the Duke ordered me to give to the two young princes. The Grand Prince is now 15 years old and suitable to be the heir to the throne of our clan. The Prince therefore announced a new name for the prince, Zhuangzi, which means wise person, to assume the position of heir to the throne from today onwards. I ask everyone to wish the success of the Crown Prince together. "
Ye Rongrong raised his glass and toasted Zhuang Zi first. The people attending the celebration also gave their blessings and drank. This is an ancient Xiongnu custom. After everyone has drunk Ye Rongrong continued to speak.
" Thank you to all the tribe members who joined in wishing the heir to the throne. Next, I will announce the name of the Second Prince. Because the Second Prince is the new light of our clan. So I named the Second Prince Zhuang Wu Di. As for the Third Prince, I hope he will grow up and be brave like the Prince and the Crown Prince. Therefore, I have named the Third Prince Zhuang Yongkang. May everyone join in blessing the two princes together. Drink! "
The praise for Ye Rongrong's naming was loud. They were glad that the Prince had shown such respect to his elder relatives. It is considered that the Prince's gratitude is an example for everyone in the tribe to see and follow in almost every household. The banquet immediately began after the two little princes received their names. The sound of blessings from the tribespeople who came to deliver gifts to the two young princes continued for almost two hours before everyone had finished blessing them.
Zhuang Kang and Shuang Zhizhi accepted the gift with trepidation. They didn't expect that the people in the clan would give such many gifts. Therefore, Zhuang Kang had not prepared anything beforehand, so Zhuang Kang could only order the guards to find a cart to take the items back to the palace to collect on a regular basis. Otherwise, the pile of gifts would definitely fill up the mountains behind their seats.
Shuang Zihua looked at everyone who wished her two little sons with gratitude. Many years ago, she encountered only bad things in her life. But now she has found a good husband, a good son, and two little children who she will teach him to be good people like his older brother as well.
I'm Shuangzhihua. All my life I have wondered why heaven is so cruel to me. But on the day that I endured and lived until this day I too must thank the heavens for allowing me to meet the good owner of the hut. Meeting the good brothers who helped transport me and my son safely to the border town. And what I am most thankful for is that heaven has graciously allowed me to find a good husband as well. From now on I will live my life as well as the heavens have given everything to me, Shuang Zihua.
