Dong Jiajun rushed back from the capital city, just in time to attend his son's baptism. Upon seeing the new scholar, everyone became even more enthusiastic. Although Jiajun was very eager to see his wife and child, he couldn't just leave everyone behind and run off to the backyard, so he had to patiently chat with the guests.
When the time came, all the women went to the backyard to watch the baptism. Although the weather in March had already warmed up a lot, no one dared to carry the child back and forth; the baptism naturally took place just outside Jinghe's room. The intricacies of the baptism process are too tedious to list in detail. After the baptism ended, everyone went to the front to enjoy the banquet.
The Xu family's female relatives, of course, were no exception. Everyone went to the front to join in the warm and lively celebration, and then they all went home.
