Gu Ziye blushed at the remark but didn't argue, simply lowering her head to help Su Liyan.
Lu Yuan hadn't seen the baby yet. It was in the hands of several midwives, who were still gently cleaning the blood off its body.
According to the local customs, a newborn couldn't be fully washed, only gently wiped clean.
Three days later, a bathing ceremony for the infant would be held in the presence of friends and family.
This bathing ceremony, held on the third day, was called the "Third-Day Bath." It symbolized washing away all filth and misfortune while praying for blessings and good fortune.
It was just like the customs from Lu Yuan's previous life, such as the "Zhuazhou" ceremony for a one-year-old's birthday, where you'd invite guests for a meal and receive their blessings.
Bengbeng hadn't had a "Third-Day Bath" ceremony. For the first seven days after coming out of Su Liyan's belly, Bengbeng was in an egg.
