Chapter 6: The Banquet

The Taishi Mansion at night is particularly prosperous, the house is brightly lit, and there is an endless stream of guests entering the mansion.

In the bright living room, it is antique. The guests have almost arrived and arranged to be seated, and those who were unable to make the appointment were also given generous gifts in advance.

The host had not yet appeared, and the guests were chatting with each other.

"Taishi Sun celebrates the birthday of his third daughter, this meeting is too grand, the colleagues from all over the court, except for Taifu Wen and General Ruan, did not come, the others came."

"What do you mean by not coming, I think it's because Mrs. Sun didn't invite me at all, everyone knows about the festival between them, so how could Mrs. Sun invite them. I heard that in order to mourn his deceased wife, Sun Taishi did not marry or have a banquet for four years, and when Sun Taishi's third daughter was 4 years old, Taishi intended to have a banquet, but at that time, it was unfortunate that his third daughter was sick for a while, and the birthday celebration was also over. So his third daughter didn't celebrate her birthday before she was 5 years old, and this was the first time. Besides, people are too masters, so why not be grand? ”

"Hey, but aren't these three daughters concubines? Doesn't Taishi Sun still have a pair of twin brothers and sisters? Sun Taishi loves his daughters so much, isn't the child left by his deceased wife spoiled by heaven? ”

"Well, I know very little about the twins, and there are not many rumors from the outside world, the twin brothers and sisters usually don't show up, and they may not be in this Taishi Mansion."

"Look at what you said, if you are not in the Taishi's Mansion, where can the little child go?"

"Have you forgotten that Taishi Sun's mother is still alive? Maybe the twins are there, after all, the beloved wife is deceased, leaving the two children, I'm afraid to see people sad. ”

"Well, that makes sense. Hey, hey, hey, look, Master Sun is here. Sun Weitian was dressed in a purple peacock robe, with a golden belt, a simple draped bun, perfect facial features and a good temperament that made him attract attention.

Walking beside him was Zhao Yuting, who was coquettish with lead, rouge, daimei, Huadian, willow flower skirt, lotus silk shirt, and pink drape.

Her smile was very bright, because she could see from the unwilling and jealous eyes of those ladies that she was beautiful today.

Behind Zhao Yuting's personal maid Xiaoqiu is holding the third lady Sun Chunyang, 5-year-old She still looks cute.

Seeing that the Taishi and his party were walking towards the living room, the guests in the hall all stood up and saluted. Seeing this, Sun Weitian said loudly: "You are exempt from courtesy. ”

"Thank you Sun Taishi~" Everyone thanked in unison, and waited for Sun Weitian to enter the hall and sat down after taking a seat at the pear blossom square table in the front.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the birthday of my daughter Chunyang, I hereby set up a banquet to celebrate her birthday, thank you for coming to the banquet, my first glass of wine to toast you." Sun Weitian said, picked up the full wine glass next to his hand and drank it all, and after the guests got up to drink and congratulate, Sun Weitian smiled and waved his hand

"Today is a happy day, you don't have to be polite, please eat and drink well, and go home happy." At this time, the housekeeper was leading the musicians into the hall, and after Sun Weitian signaled, the musicians began to play.

The beautiful music made the guests feel relaxed, and gradually everyone did not sit as if they were sitting in the right position, but drank and laughed and had a good time.

Zhao Yuting has been holding Chunyang since she took her seat, and she was feeding her personally at this time, Cuicui looked at the clumsy movements of the second lady and smiled in her heart.

Usually, the second lady doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers, and she won't pay attention to this kind of thing when she feeds Chunyang, who is impatient.

The second lady only thought about how to tempt the master and how to flatter, and she never hugged the third lady, for fear of wrinkling her clothes.

And today, the second lady did not hesitate to work hard, nothing more than to make a show in front of the guests, but also to win the appreciation of the master.

And the Taishi didn't look at Chunyang and them, Cuicui could see that the second lady was a little out of breath, and her good-looking brows were wrinkled together.

Cuicui still admired Zhao Yuting's hurried appearance in her heart,

"Ah~" Zhao Yuting tried very hard to make a mistake. The hot soup was not steady, and the soup that was spilled burned Zhao Yuting's hand, she subconsciously let go, and the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Chunyang didn't know if he was frightened or burned, and his cry forced him to stop playing. Everyone followed the voice and looked at Zhao Yuting, who was at a loss at this time.

Sun Weitian's face sank, and he turned his head to see the stunned Zhao Yuting, and his heart was full of disgust. Before he could say anything, a touch of green knelt down at the table with his back to everyone,

"Master, please punish, the slave saw that the second lady was busy feeding the third lady, and wanted to help, but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and accidentally knocked over the soup in the second lady's hand, scalding the second lady, and scared the third lady." Listening to Xiaoqiu's words, Zhao Yuting came back to her senses, and her eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at Xiaoqiu.

She was about to speak

"Forgive" Xiaoqiu, Sun Weitian spoke up first: "Well, since you admit your mistake, then you will be punished for twenty years, deduct this month's wages, and go down to receive the fine." Everyone was shocked, it was right for the subordinates to be punished for doing something wrong, but everyone thought that Mrs. Sun would see that today was the birthday of the third lady, and she took the initiative to admit her mistake and reduce the punishment, but she didn't expect it, but she still got a heavy responsibility.

Xiaoqiu didn't expect that the owner, who seemed to be in a happy mood today, would not open up in front of many outsiders.

But without saying anything, he bowed and left the parlor.

"Everybody, please go ahead, don't worry." Sun Weitian waved his hand, and the music in the hall sounded again, returning to normal.
