Chapter 89 Family Banquet

Although Zhao Yuchang never stayed overnight at her place, he still came to visit her often. Sometimes when he saw Sister Ling's daughter after school, he would hold her daughter and ask her about her studies in detail, and ask her to recite and repeat what she had learned in the elementary school.

When she got interested, she would teach her a few words in person. If she came early, Sister Ling would not go to school, so she would just sit next to Pei Xiner, say a few words casually, read a book and rest for a while, and then go

Somewhere else.

Therefore, the servants of the Zhao family valued Pei Xiner more and treated her with more respect. When she thought about it in her spare time, she couldn't help but sigh - a woman's status is ultimately determined by her husband's attitude.

Effect. If only Zhao Yutang had paid more attention to her in her previous life, I'm afraid she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation...

But everything has passed. Since she is no longer the same person, why should she be bound by those past events?

In the blink of an eye, she was seven months pregnant, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was just around the corner. It was customary for the Zhao family to have a big reunion, so Feng was busy early in the morning, preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.

Although the Zhao family has not been prosperous since the old man, with only three generations passed down, there are still some brothers and sisters before the old man. Although they are all distant relatives, they still have the same blood relationship after all, and the Zhao family cannot rely entirely on themselves.

The family has stood firm in the turbulent court situation, so on the surface, the Zhao family still has a large family. On a reunion festival like the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Yutai, the head of the Zhao family, naturally has to take responsibility

Gather all relatives to celebrate the festival together and keep in touch with each other.

Zhao Yuchang's father and old man had done this in the past, and now it was Zhao Yuchun's turn, so naturally he was no exception.

Naturally, this kind of thing can be handled by Feng. She is a capable person and has been in charge of the general's palace for many years. Naturally, she can handle it easily and effortlessly. But on August 15th, she had to greet the old lady and Madam Zhao early in the morning.

At that time, she talked about another thing.

"...In the past, sister Pei was not at home, so it was fine if she couldn't attend. But now that she is back, shouldn't she also be allowed to participate in this Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner? Since she became pregnant, she has been living in seclusion in her yard.

, but I am also lonely. It is good to take this opportunity to walk around and relax for a while." She talked in front of the old lady, as if she was doing everything for Pei Xiner.

After hearing this, the old lady was a little hesitant. In the past, it was fine if Pei Xiner was not here. No one would mention this "sick" aunt, but now that Pei Xiner has made a high-profile return, almost everyone knows that she has come back. If she doesn't let

Her attendance will inevitably give people the impression that their family does not want to see Pei Xiner. Although this is true, if she is not even allowed to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the reputation will not be very good, and some people will say

Their family is powerful and treats people harshly.

But if Pei Xiner was allowed to participate, she was really worried that she would accidentally hurt the child in Pei Xiner's belly, so it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

In the end, Mrs. Zhao said something and said: "Mom, let Mrs. Pei participate. She is already seven months old. She has been doing well before this. She has no illness or pain. I think the fetus is also stable."

Yes. It should be okay."

After hearing this, the old lady finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then give her a message and let her get ready! However," she looked at Feng and said meaningfully,

"Qingyan, you have to keep an eye on her. If she acts inappropriately and makes a mistake and hurts the child in her belly, I'm the only one asking!"

Feng was stunned, the smile on her face froze, and then she said with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady, if anything happens to the child in sister Pei's belly, there is no need for old lady to punish her, my granddaughter-in-law will be the first one to do it."

Don’t let yourself go!”

The old lady then put away her eyes and said calmly: "That's fine."

Feng was still smiling, but she squeezed the silk handkerchief tightly. A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she secretly bit her silver teeth into pieces.

Pei Xiner then received a notice from the old lady, asking her to hurry up and prepare so that they could attend the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet together in the evening.

Everyone around her couldn't help but be surprised.

Ruiniang blurted out: "What's going on? I've never heard of it before, but why are you suddenly notifying my aunt to let you attend the banquet?!"

Ying'er also said anxiously: "Yes, aunt, the family dinner is about to start in a few hours, why did I just inform you now? Is it because I want to see you make a fool of yourself? Besides, you are big now

It’s hard to go out and walk around with a heavy belly. If anything happens, I’m afraid I won’t be as lucky as last time!”

Pei Xiner was calm and said with a cold smile: "I am suddenly asked to attend a family banquet. The only one who would come up with such an idea is that person! But it doesn't matter, the old lady and the madam care about themselves after all.

My great-grandson and grandson, since they have asked me to go, they will definitely ensure the safety of the fetus in my belly. If the baby is safe, I will naturally be fine too."

After hearing this, Ruiniang breathed a sigh of relief, then became nervous again, and said hurriedly: "In that case, my aunt should start dressing up quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"

After hearing this, Ying'er and the others immediately became anxious and scattered in a hurry. Those who picked clothes, those who chose jewelry, those who fetched water, those who took shoes and socks... became a busy group.

Pei Xin'er raised the corner of her mouth and said calmly: "There is no need to work too hard. I am pregnant now. I can't look beautiful no matter how I dress up. I just need to change my clothes and tidy up. Don't lose the face of the general's mansion. That's all."

No one would ask a pregnant woman to be unparalleled in the limelight."

When Ruiniang heard this, she realized that this was the case, and the work she was doing slowed down. She looked at Pei Xiner, sighed and said, "Although the old lady and madam are watching, the eldest lady may not dare to do anything.

, but there is always a possibility in everything. If she quietly sets a trap and lures my aunt to take the bait, my aunt should still pay more attention to it and never let anyone take advantage of it. "

What she said about Pei Xin'er's natural way made her purse her lips tightly and secretly clenched her fists.

Although they didn't think about how to be stunning, they still managed to get dressed up. Because they had only been active in their own yard before, Pei Xiner didn't dress up deliberately. Now that she was going out for a banquet, at least

You still have to clean your face and body to avoid being looked down upon by others.

After taking care of things, Kankan arrived at the beginning of the banquet. Pei Xin'er hurriedly asked Ying'er and Juan'er to wait on her and walked out, quickly arriving at the banquet venue.

This banquet was naturally held in the garden. Zhao Yutsao led the men of the family boating on the small lake next to the garden, while the old lady entertained the female guests in the garden. Both parties looked happy and happy. On the surface,

It looks very harmonious.

When Pei Xiner came to the garden, it was already a lively scene. Relatives of the Zhao family who had got to know each other in a roundabout way were sitting together, and the ladies from each family were surrounding the old lady, who was fawning over her. The eldest girl

They had their own circle, sitting together and talking and laughing. Even the aunts who seldom went out on weekdays rarely had such an opportunity to ask the old lady to agree to their attendance, so they all wore their excitement on their faces.

They were dressed as beautifully as the other, as if they were afraid that they would be missed.

The aunts have their own circle of aunts, and it is much more deserted. It is not as lively as the old lady, madam, and the former, nor is it as lively and vibrant as the circle of older girls.

Pei Xiner did not show any pretense, but asked Ying'er and Juan'er to serve her and walked over cautiously. At this time, the originally noisy scene of listening to the opera suddenly calmed down. Everyone looked at the potbellied Pei Xiner, with a look in their eyes.

It's weird.

However, Pei Xiner turned a blind eye and walked straight to the old lady, Mrs. Zhao. She squatted slightly and said, "Greetings to the old lady, madam."

The old lady said "Yes" and said: "Today is a day of reunion, so I have invited you here. You can sit with everyone, chat and have fun, but be careful about the child in your belly."

, don’t act on impulse.”

Pei Xiner hurriedly responded, then turned around to pay homage to Mrs. Feng, and said respectfully: "I am very heavy, so I cannot help my grandma. It is really my fault that I have to worry about it all by myself!"

But Mrs. Feng supported her and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, sister Pei? We are sisters, isn't this kind of thing a matter of course? It's windy at night, so you'd better put on more clothes and be careful to catch the cold.

"

Pei Xin'er didn't respond, and then walked to the side of the aunts and sat down at the master's seat.

The members of the Zhao family looked at each other for a while, and then a woman who was also an aunt came forward to say hello. For the sake of the child in her belly, she was quite polite and even flattering.

Who doesn't know that if she gives birth to a boy, her position in the general's palace will be secure in the future. With Zhao Yutang's favor, even if she can't compare to Feng, at least she will be the first among the aunts.

Got it!

And the eyes of the wives looking at her were more exciting, with all kinds of thoughts and thoughts. There were also many flatterers who quietly put their heads into Feng's ears and whispered in her ear, although they couldn't hear clearly.

They said something, but just by looking at the looks of disdain and disdain, you can roughly tell what they were talking about.

Pei Xin'er's eyes flashed slightly - could this be Feng's purpose? Not to take advantage of herself directly, but to force her to harm herself by using everyone's words to win gold?

If this is the case, then Mrs. Feng will be disappointed! For her who has died once, such a level of verbal attack is really not a big deal, and hearing it a hundred times will not have any impact on her.
