The tip of the pen paused, and Xiao Jinran raised his eyes: "Why has it changed?"
The little eunuch replied: "My mother's taste was quite normal before, but today she can't eat it. She asked Aunt Zhang to cook a table of very sour and spicy food. I don't know if it's because of her pregnancy."
Pregnant?
Xiao Jinran frowned, Wen Nianruan was not pregnant at all, just a false pregnancy.
As for why her taste is so strong, Xiao Jinran thinks she may simply want to eat hot and sour food.
He didn't pay much attention to the little eunuch's words.
The next day, Wen Nianruan got up early. If she hadn't attended the wedding banquet today, she would still be asleep at this time.
While Qiu Bai was helping her wash up, he said, "Madam, Second Young Master Wen has been promoted again."
"What position?"
"He is the Minister of Rites."
Wen Nianruan smiled blankly: "Second brother's official career is going smoothly."
In just two or three months, Wen Tingzhou was promoted from editor of the Hanlin Academy to minister of the Ministry of Rites. Wen Tingzhou's official career was much better than others.
That he was promoted so quickly also shows that he has strength. Wen Tingzhou has always been conscientious and dedicated to his duties, and Xiao Jinran also values him very much.
Being promoted when you get married is a double blessing.
Half an hour later, Wen Nianruan packed up and left the palace. This time she took Qiubai and Yushuang with her, because she was pregnant and needed one person to take care of her, while the other had to get gifts.
When she walked to the gate of the palace, a carriage was waiting, and there was another carriage parked next to it. Xiao Xixi opened the curtain and hooked her fingers: "Sister Wen."
Wen Nianruan took a look inside and saw that there was only Xiao Xixi herself, so she didn't have to avoid anything and got on the carriage directly.
"Where's your brother?"
Xiao Xixi pursed her lips: "Brother is leaving first."
Today is Wen Tingzhou's wedding. Yun Chenan and he are both colleagues, so they must go to congratulate him. Yun Chenan not only represents him, the Imperial Master, but also represents the emperor.
After arriving at the place, Yushuang held the gift, Qiubai and Xiao Xixi helped Wen Nianruan get out of the carriage.
She is really pregnant now. She habitually puts her hands on her abdomen when walking, and her movements are no different from other pregnant women. Although the fetus is only more than two months old, she also has a lot of pregnancy smell on her body.
Wen Tingzhou just bought a yard not long ago. It's not very big. He can't afford a big yard now. Although the yard is small, it is very clean and warmly decorated.
In addition to the fact that the two of them don't have many servants to serve them, this yard is enough for them to live in.
There were many carriages parked at the door, all coming to congratulate him.
Originally, the officials in the court looked down on Wen Tingzhou, the young minister of Guanglu Temple. After all, his official position was small and he was not worth fawning over. Even if he got married, no one wanted to come to congratulate him.
As a result, Wen Tingzhou was directly promoted to Minister of Rites according to an imperial edict this morning, and those smooth courtiers rushed to congratulate him. Wen Tingzhou didn't like the officialdom, but since everyone was here, he could only entertain him politely.
Waiting for the guests at the gate, besides Wen Tingzhou, was also the Taibao Master Chen Yu, who was Pei Yiqian's husband.
Wen Tingzhou has no one here, so Chen Yu can only help him entertain the guests.
When Wen Nianruan approached, Chen Yu and Wen Tingzhou both came to say hello to her.
Chen Yu was a Taibao at a young age, and he was also young and promising. He had the air of a refined scholar and was polite in his speech.
Wen Nianruan asked Yushuang to hand over the gift, and smiled at Wen Tingzhou: "First of all, congratulations to the second brother for bringing home a beautiful woman today, and then congratulations to the second brother for his rapid promotion."
"Thank you, Fourth Sister."
People are in high spirits during happy events. Wen Tingzhou had a lot of smiles on his face today, and his face was full of spring. It was much softer than the indifferent look in the past.
Wen Nianruan immediately glanced at the mansion, looked back and asked, "Has the second brother invited my parents to come?"
He is getting married today, and as elders in the Hou Mansion, they have to come and take charge.
Wen Tingzhou's face turned cold: "I sent someone to send them a message, but I don't know if they will come."
It’s already this hour, it’s probably hard to come, and it’s already long gone.
Wen Nianruan smiled comfortingly: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you don't come. You and Miss Pei will also be in peace."
If those two people come, maybe something will happen.
Anyway, the second brother has already informed them. If they don't come, it will be their fault. When the news gets out, they will be the ones to blame.
"Fourth sister, there is no need to comfort me, I don't care if they come or not," Wen Tingzhou chuckled, seeing that Wen Nianruan was afraid that he would be sad.
To be honest, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
He had no father-son relationship with Wen Decheng, let alone Li Huachun. He only had hatred for Li Huachun.
When he moved out of the Marquis Mansion, he almost broke off his relationship with Wende City.
As long as Wen Tingzhou doesn't care, Wen Nianruan doesn't care at all. She looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. My second brother hasten to pick up the bride. It would be bad if it delays the auspicious time."
"good."
Wen Tingzhou set off for Pei's house, leaving Chen Yu alone to help him receive the guests.
Wen Nianruan went into the house and looked around. There were not many guests invited by Wen Tingzhou. They were all friends from the Pei family and Wen Tingzhou.
Neither Wen Tingzhou nor Pei Yiqing likes to be lively, so everything at the wedding banquet was kept simple.
Wen Nianruan found the white shadow in the crowd. Even if he was surrounded by the crowd, he was the one who stood alone in the world. Dressed in white, he absorbed all his splendor.
Yun Chenan also saw her, and looked over here, with soft eyebrows and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Immediately, he crossed the crowd and walked towards this side. Wen Nianruan glanced at the passers-by, stood up, and went to a remote place.
Yun Chenan followed leisurely.
When they came to a deserted place, Yun Chenan put his hands around her waist, and Wen Nianruan laughed: "Why does it sound like an affair?"
"Isn't it?" Yun Chen smiled, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on her mouth, "Are you tired?"
"It's okay. I've only been out for a while, so I'm not too tired."
"If you are tired, go back and rest quickly."
"Okay." Wen Nianruan responded, standing on tiptoes and approaching him for a kiss: "Kiss me again."
She narrowed her fox eyes and looked cute, like a child asking for a reward.
Yun Chenan chuckled, picked up her chin and kissed her gently.
He kissed me lightly, like a dragonfly touching water.
Wen Nianruan was not satisfied, so she hugged his neck tightly and refused to let him leave. Instead of being a guest, she took the initiative to kiss him.
After a moment, Yun Chenan let go of her first and smiled helplessly: "Be good, that's all."
The soft voice was muted, and the black eyes became darker, with hidden emotion.
He was afraid that if this girl continued, he would be unable to control himself.
With sultry red lips and blurred fox eyes, Wen Nianruan hugged his neck and didn't want to let go. After becoming pregnant, she became even more clingy.
"Come to me in the evening."
"good."
After a while, the two people walked out one after the other.
In the darkness, the woman curled her lips and smiled, her eyes glowing with a cold light, "It turns out there is a woman."
She turned her eyes and told the maid beside her: "Go and find out the origin of that woman."
