Chapter 51: Ideas
Wanyue learned from the old servants in the house that the grandmother who served Su Xin that day was from outside the province, and the person who came to the house to find this grandmother was the kitchen manager who had poisoned and murdered Chang Fujin's miscarriage before.
Things gradually became a little confusing, and Wanyue couldn't help but be a little stunned, could this be the Zhang family, who was demoted to a concubine, doing it again?
The white horse passed through the gap, and it was April.
On the tenth day after Xiao Hongsheng's two-year-old birthday, it was Wanyue's birthday.
Yinqi finally found a good reason to go to the same side of Xinuan Pavilion to celebrate the birthday of the Fujin Tatara clan, and held a family banquet by the way.
However, early in the morning, Yinqi had to go to the palace to go to the morning court, and for Wanyue's birthday, he had to wait for him to return to Baylor Mansion before he could go to Xinuan Pavilion.
Wanyue invited a famous troupe from Beijing to perform at Baylor Mansion on April 16 half a month in advance.
As soon as the hour arrived on April 16, the troupe arrived at the side gate of Baylor House, and after preparing for the passage, they waited for the singing to start on time at three o'clock.
Wanyue specially invited Chang Fujin Guerjia Yinan, Fang Fujin Liu Jia Miaoyin, Shu Fujin Bai Jia Suxin, and Zhou Gege to come to enjoy the play.
As soon as the hour came, the gong on the stage struck, Xiao Sheng and the drums followed, the embroidered curtain on the stage was lifted, and I saw a Danjiao with an extremely white face walking out charmingly, and the Danjiao sang a few words.
With every step she took, she laughed and sang again, and everyone who listened to her stared intently, lest she lose every detail of the play.
Wanyue couldn't help but applaud, and the rest of the people watching couldn't help but nod their heads, at this time, a clown with a four-faced face appeared on the stage, and the eyes of the audience followed her again.
Occasionally, a few lazy little guys in the small courtyard also lay in the corner to watch the play, and they couldn't help but cheer.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yinqi came back from the palace, and he didn't even go back to the house to change his regular clothes, so he went straight to Xinuan Pavilion.
When he arrived, the stage was still singing, and several Fujin and concubines saw him coming, and they got up and saluted.
Yinqi raised her hand, and first went to help the heavy body of Changfu Jin Guerjia Yinan, she is now seven months old, everything must be careful.
The others couldn't help but look at Yinqi and Chang Fujin's affectionate appearance, and after Guarjia Yinan got up, Yinqi pretended to cough twice: "You all get up, today is not only a family banquet, but also the birthday of the side Fujin Tatara clan, so everyone doesn't need to be formal." ”
Wanyue got up, lowered her head, and didn't look at Yinqi, she was in a somewhat complicated mood.
Yinqi glanced at Wanyue casually, and had some thoughts in his heart, this lunch can be eaten for a longer time, and after eating, he will watch a play for an hour or two, and it will almost be time to rest.
Guerjia Yinan on the side saw him thinking about it, and hurriedly whispered: "Lord Belle, it's time for lunch." ”
Guerjia Yinan is actually hungry, she is pregnant now, she eats almost four or five times a day, and she was called to watch the play after breakfast today, and she ate a few pieces of dim sum in the middle, and the little cub in her belly has already called a few times.
Yinqi nodded, and said to a few maids waiting in the West Warm Pavilion: "Okay, you go to the dining room to pass lunch." ”
A few maids behind him immediately turned around silently and walked towards the dining room, Mama Wang said, today's Xinuan Pavilion is rare and lively, so they must serve well, the little master is in a good mood, and their rewards will naturally increase.
In the main hall of Xinuan Pavilion, the tables, chairs and stools have already been cleaned up, and the dishes and chopsticks have also been set up, just waiting for the masters to come in and eat.
Yinqi and Guerjia Yinan sat on the seat, Wanyue, the birthday star, sat on the left side of Guarjia Yinan, Liu Jia Miaoyin sat opposite her, Su Xin sat next to Wanyue, and Zhou Gege was next to Su Xin.
At this table, except for Guarjia Yinan, who was pregnant, everyone else seemed to be sitting upright.
After everyone sat down, the maids had already brought the cattle, mutton, fish, ducks, boiled meat, fruits and vegetables made in the dining room, and served the whole table of dishes on the table.
After Yinqi raised the chopsticks, everyone followed the chopsticks, and everyone did not say anything during the banquet, these dishes were very delicious, and after Guarjia Yinan ate a bowl of rice, she asked Mama Wang in the room to add a bowl for her.
As soon as the dish was halfway eaten, the maids brought a big bowl of braised pork and a big bowl of jade belt soup.
After a while, the rice that Guarjia Yinan had just added had been eaten cleanly, Wanyue had just eaten half a bowl of rice, Wanyue couldn't help but widen her eyes and glanced sideways at Guarjia Yinan, she was so able to eat, seeing that her belly seemed to be a little bigger than the usual seven-month pregnant belly, Wanyue couldn't help but think: Is this an illusion?
After thinking about it carefully, I feel normal, after all, most pregnant people have good appetites, and the mother needs to take care of the nutrition of two people, so it must be reasonable to have a bigger belly.
Wanyue was picking up a piece of mutton and putting it in her mouth, and Liu Jia Miaoyin, who was opposite her, raised her wine glass and said to Wanyue with a smile: "Today's birthday of Wanyue's sister, my sister wishes you a happy birthday." ”
"Thank you, sister, my sister is just a year older." Wanyue had no choice but to put down her chopsticks, picked up the wine glass next to her, and touched it with Liu Jia Miaoyin's cup.
"My sister is still young now, how can she say that she is old." Guarjia Yinan on the side was holding chopsticks, and just finished chewing the food in his mouth, he couldn't help but sarcastically.
Wanyue didn't care, in her previous life, she was also a person who lived in her fifties, how could she not be old.
As soon as Guerjia Yinan finished speaking, Su Xin and Zhou Gege also raised their wine glasses and congratulated Wanyue.
"Thanks to my sister today, I can see such a beautiful play and such a delicious lunch. If it's auspicious, my sister won't be able to speak, so I hope my sister can get what she wants. ”
Su Xin rolled her eyes, lowered her eyes, and sincerely wished Wanyue from the bottom of her heart.
In such an atmosphere, Yinqi naturally had to speak, and after listening to the blessings of the concubines, he had the opportunity to speak.
"Yue'er, today is your birthday, Ben Belle is very happy......" Before he could finish speaking, the Yan steward standing next to him poured wine into his wine glass.
"Come, everyone raises their glasses, today is also a family banquet, they are all their own family, so there is no need to be restrained."
His words made the ladies at the table smile, each picked up their wine glasses and clinked glasses, and Wanyue drank the rest of the wine in her glass.
After a few glasses, Wanyue is already drunk, and today's wine seems to be a little intoxicating!
Wanyue looked at the situation in the banquet with hazy eyes, Guarjia Yinan seemed to be still eating, Liu Jia Miaoyin was talking to Zhou Gege, Su Xin had already put down her chopsticks and sat quietly next to her, Bei Ye seemed to be staring at her?
After that, Wanyue didn't watch it again, and when she woke up, it was already two o'clock on the second day, and Yinqi was lying next to her bed.
