Wanyue found out from the old servants in the mansion that the nanny who was waiting for Su Xin's delivery that day was from outside the province, and the person who came to the mansion to find this nanny was the kitchen steward who had previously poisoned and murdered the descendant of Fujin.
Things gradually became a bit confusing, and Wanyue couldn't help but be a little surprised. Could this be another thing done by Zhang who was demoted to a commoner?
The white horse passed by, and it was April in a blink of an eye.
On the tenth day after Xiao Hongsheng's second birthday, Wanyue's birthday came.
Yinqi finally found a good reason to go to the same side of Xinuang Pavilion to celebrate the birthday of Tara, the Fujin family, and hold a family banquet by the way.
However, Yinqi had to go to the palace early in the morning to attend court, and to celebrate Wanyue's birthday, he had to wait until he returned to Baylor Mansion in the next court before going to Xinuang Pavilion.
Wanyue invited a famous opera troupe from the capital to perform at Baylor's Mansion half a month in advance.
As soon as the hour came on April 16, the troupe arrived at the side entrance of Belle Mansion. After preparing for the song, they waited for the singing to start on time at 3:30.
Wanyue specially invited her descendant Guar Jiayinan, side Fujin Liu Jiamiaoyin, concubine Fujin Bai Jiasuxin, and Zhou Gege to come and enjoy the show.
As soon as three o'clock passed, the gongs on the stage rang, followed by the sound of drums, the embroidered curtain on the stage was opened, and a very fair-faced female actor walked out charmingly, and the female actor sang A few words.
Every time she took a step, she smiled wistfully, and after she laughed she sang another line. Everyone listening stared at her intently, fearing that they would lose every detail of the play.
Wanyue couldn't help but applaud, and the rest of the people watching couldn't help but nod in agreement. At this time, a clown with a colorful face appeared on the stage, and the whole audience's attention was attracted to her.
Occasionally a few lazy boys in the small courtyard were lying in the corner watching the show, and they couldn't help but cheer along.
At 2:00 p.m., Yinqi came back from the palace. He didn't even go back to the house to change into regular clothes, so he went straight to Xinuang Pavilion.
When he arrived, there was still singing on the stage, and several Fujin and his concubines stood up and saluted when they saw him coming.
Yinqi raised his hand and first went to help the heavy body of his second-in-law Fujin Guar Jiayinan. She is now seven months old and needs to be careful in everything.
The others couldn't help but look at the loving appearance of Yinqi and his direct descendant Fujin. After Guar Jiayinan got up, Yinqi pretended to cough twice: "You all get up, today is both a family banquet and a sideshow." It’s Fujin’s Tara’s birthday, so everyone doesn’t need to be formal.”
Wanyue then stood up, lowered her head, and did not look at Yinqi. Her mood was a little complicated.
Yinqi glanced at Wanyue casually, and had some thoughts in his mind. He could have a longer lunch. After eating, he would watch a show for an hour or two, and it would be almost time to take a rest.
Seeing him lowering his eyes and thinking, Guar Jiayinan on the side quickly said softly: "Master Baylor, it's time to pass on lunch."
Guar Jia Yinan was actually hungry for a long time. She is pregnant now and eats almost four or five times a day. Today after breakfast, she was called over to watch a show. She ate a few snacks in the middle, and the little baby in her stomach The cub has already barked several times.
Yinqi nodded and said to the maids serving in Xinuang Pavilion: "Okay, you go to the dining room to pass the lunch."
The maids behind them immediately turned around and walked towards the dining room silently. Grandma Wang said that Xi Nuan Pavilion was rarely busy today, so they must serve them well. If the mistress is in a good mood, their rewards will naturally increase.
In the main hall of Xinuan Pavilion, the tables, chairs and stools have already been put away, and the dishes and chopsticks of Grandma Wang and Yudan have also been placed, waiting for the masters to come in and have a meal.
Yinqi and Guerjiayinan sat in the upper seats, Wanyue, the birthday girl, sat on the left side of Guarjiayinan, Liu Jiamiaoyin sat on the opposite side of her, Suxin sat next to Wanyue, and Zhou Gege sat next to Suxin.
Except for Guar Jia Yinan, who was pregnant, everyone seemed to be sitting upright at this table. After Yinqi raised his chopsticks, everyone followed suit.
After everyone was seated, the maids had already brought the beef, sheep, fish, duck, boiled meat, fruits and vegetables prepared in the dining room, and put the entire table of dishes on the table. The masters were left to eat some before continuing.
Serve.
No one said anything during the dinner, but the dishes were very delicious. After Guar Jiayinan finished one bowl of rice, she asked Grandma Wang in the room to add another bowl for her.
When the food was half eaten, the maids brought out another large bowl of braised pork and a large bowl of jade belt soup.
After a while, the rice that Guar Jia Yinan had just added had been completely eaten. Wanyue had only eaten half a bowl of rice. Wanyue could not help but open her eyes and glance sideways at Guar Jia Yinan. She was so good at eating.
Her belly seemed a little bigger than the usual seven-month pregnancy belly. Wanyue couldn't help but wonder to herself: Is this an illusion?
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was normal. After all, most pregnant people have good appetites. The mother's body needs to take into account the nutrition of two people. It must be reasonable for the belly to be bigger.
Wanyue was picking up a piece of mutton and putting it into her mouth. Liu Jiamiaoyin, who was opposite her, raised her wine glass and said to Wanyue with a smile: "Today is my sister Wanyue's birthday. I wish you a happy birthday."
"Thank you, sister. I'm just one year older." Wanyue had no choice but to put down her chopsticks, pick up the wine glass next to her, and clink it with Liu Jiamiaoyin's glass.
"My sister is still young now, why do you say you are old?" Guar Jiayinan on the side was holding chopsticks and had just finished chewing the food in his mouth, and couldn't help but sarcastically said.
Wanyue didn't care. In her previous life, she lived for more than fifty years, so why didn't she age?
As soon as Guar Jia Yinan finished speaking, Su Xin and Zhou Gege also raised their wine glasses to congratulate Wanyue.
"Thanks to my sister, I was able to see such a beautiful show and such a delicious lunch today. My sister is not very good at saying auspicious words. I only hope that my sister can get what she wants."
Su Xin turned her eyes, lowered her eyes, and sincerely wished Wanyue from the bottom of her heart.
In such an atmosphere, Yinqi naturally had to speak. After listening to the blessings of the concubines, he had the opportunity to speak.
"Yue'er, today is your birthday. Ben Beile is very happy..." Before he could finish speaking, Butler Yan, who was standing next to him, poured wine into his wine glass.
"Come on, everyone, raise your glasses. It's a family dinner today, and we're all family members, so there's no need to be restrained."
His words brought smiles to the faces of the women at the table. They each picked up their wine glasses and clinked them. Wanyue drank the remaining wine in her own glass.
After a few drinks, Wanyue was already tipsy. Today's wine seemed a bit intoxicating!
Wanyue looked at the scene at the table with hazy eyes. Guar Jia Yinan seemed to be still eating, Liu Jiamiaoyin was talking to Zhou Gege, Su Xin had put down her chopsticks and sat quietly next to her, and Mr. Bei seemed to be eating.
Staring at her?
Wanyue didn't watch the drama after that. When she woke up, it was already the 2nd quarter of the next day, and Yinqi was lying beside her bed.
