Chapter 406 Xiaoxiao's Full Moon Party
Jiang Weinan wanted to go back to Jiangbo City to hold the baby's full-month banquet. He wanted to invite all the important people in Jiangbo City to attend his daughter's full-month banquet.
But Xie Jiaojiao refused: "Let's do it in this village. So many people have come to see your daughter, not to see a monkey. What's the point? Besides, I haven't completely recovered from the confinement period yet, so it's not good to travel such a long way."
Jiang Weinan naturally didn't want Xie Jiaojiao to suffer, so he immediately agreed to Xie Jiaojiao's approach.
"You can just call a few people in the city who we have good relations with, or if you feel that your daughter has been wronged in the village, we can go to the town."
Jiang Weinan heard it and said, "Okay, let's go to the town!"
Now that the matter was settled, Manager Wang was busy ordering food in the town and sending out the invitations prepared by Jiang Weinan.
When Sun Ruhua heard that the business was going to be done in the town, she felt very proud and quickly notified the people in the village.
When the villagers heard that the baby was going to have a full-month celebration in the town, they couldn't wait for the day to come so they could have a delicious meal.
Manager Wang came to discuss the details of the full moon banquet with Xie Jiaojiao. Xie Jiaojiao reminded him: "Uncle Wang, prepare two more tables for the banquet. You know there are many people in our village. Don't let people gossip about you."
"Don't worry, Madam. I understand all of this."
Xie Jiaojiao then nodded and compared the dishes with Manager Wang. Manager Wang looked at the baby again before leaving.
On the day of the full moon banquet, Xie Jiaojiao got up early and took a simple bath with ginger water. She felt much more comfortable all over. Then she carried the baby into the carriage and headed for the town with Jiang Weinan.
When we arrived at the Jiang Mansion, there were wine tables set up in the front and back yards.
Villagers also arrived one after another, and everyone wore their most decent clothes.
Sun Ru was wearing new clothes that Xie Jiaojiao had prepared for her today, a dark red cotton-padded jacket with a circle of rabbit fur around her neck. It was warm and beautiful. The jewelry that Heisei was reluctant to wear was all picked out today, which made the villagers' eyes light up.
Mrs. Wu took her around and said, "I almost couldn't recognize you. Today, you look like the old lady in the mansion, but a lot younger."
"You're just teasing me, aren't you?"
After saying that, he invited everyone into the house.
Everyone had never seen such a luxurious house before. Their eyes were dazzled and they felt more and more cramped.
Cuizhu said to them, "The front yard is for male guests, and the back is for female guests. Don't go the wrong way."
As he spoke, Lai Fu led the man to the front yard, while Cui Zhu took the woman through the pavilion next to them and went around to the backyard.
They had been living in the same village before. Although everyone knew that Xie Jiaojiao was rich, because they all lived in the same village and there was no distinction between the rich and the poor, no one noticed the difference. But when they arrived here today, everyone was shocked to realize that there was already a huge gap between them and Xie Jiaojiao.
A carriage came over there, and Xie Jiaojiao looked at Liu Rumei and Gu Weizhi who got out of the carriage.
Xie Jiaojiao hurried over to meet him.
"Sister Liu looks much more energetic than before. She looks radiant."
Liu Rumei held her hand with her backhand and whispered, "Thanks to your advice, we are now living separately. I just need to live my life well all day long."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and nodded. Liu Rumei took her around and said, "Sister is still the best. She just gave birth to a child, but it looks like she didn't give birth at all."
"Sister, you keep teasing me. Why didn't your child come today?"
"Why bring him here? Today is your baby's full moon celebration. I won't bring him here to cause trouble."
As he spoke, he was about to go see Xiaoxiao.
Liu Rumei's eyes lit up: "Your daughter is really pretty, what's her name?"
No matter which mother it is, she will be happy when hearing others praise her child for being good-looking.
"Wuyou, her full name is Jiang Wuyou, and her nickname is Xiaoxiao. Her father and I both hope that she will be happy and worry-free."
Liu Rumei smiled and said, "This is a good name. I like it no matter how it sounds." Then she took out a box from her sleeve.
The two smiled at each other, and Xie Jiaojiao accepted it without hesitation.
He then took Sun Ruhua aside and started introducing them to each other. After the introduction, Sun Ruhua took everyone to the backyard.
When Xie Jiaojiao turned around, she saw Qin Fang and Master Li getting out of the car.
The couple hurried over to meet him.
"Brother Qin."
Qin Fang smiled and said, "Fortunately, I'm not late."
"It's just the right time." Jiang Weinan led his men inside.
Master Li presented a calligraphy work: "This is a gift from the county magistrate to Miss."
Lai Fu quickly took it.
Next came Gao Shen, and also the shopkeepers Li and Chen from the city.
Many shopkeepers have made time to come.
The villagers looked at the distinguished guests who came in one after another, and for a moment they felt that their clothes were not presentable, so they all lowered their heads.
Unexpectedly, these people took the initiative to greet them and did not at all despise them because they were villagers from the village.
After the meal, everyone enjoyed it very much.
After the meal, the villagers wiped their mouths. It was the best meal they had ever had in their lives.
The shopkeepers all left early after dinner.
Aunt Wu and the others wanted to stay and help, but Sun Ruhua stopped her.
"I don't need your help. Someone has done it."
After saying this, he smiled and said to the villagers.
"If you don't mind, you can take the leftover food on the table away. Jiaojiao has had some takeaway food boxes prepared."
Men would certainly not do this, but the women in the village took action.
Today's meal is quite oily and the weather is getting colder now, so we can keep it for several days.
In a few seconds, the things on the table were cleaned up even more neatly than those by the servants.
After a day, Xie Jiaojiao was already tired and asked the nanny to carry Xiaoxiao back to the house.
Qin Fang did not leave after dinner, but called Jiang Weinan to his side.
"Brother Qin, do you have anything to tell me?"
Qin Fang nodded: "My achievements in suppressing bandits have been reported to the prefecture government, and the imperial court has also sent a letter of dispatch. I will be returning to the capital soon."
"Congratulations, Brother Qin." Jiang Weinan said with a bow.
Qin Fang lifted his hands with a fan, and then took out a letter from his arms: "This is a letter from the teacher, you can take a look."
Jiang Weinan took it in a hurry, opened the letter and frowned slightly: "Uncle asked us to go to the capital."
Qin Fang nodded and said seriously: "Weinan, I know your wife just gave birth and it's not suitable for her to travel, but the weather is going to change. The teacher asked you to go to the capital. If the weather doesn't change as expected, it will be the last time we meet. You can think about it and tell me. After I hand over the affairs of the government, I should leave in half a month. If you want to go, we can go along the way and take care of you."
After Qin Fang left, Jiang Weinan sat in the room for a long time without moving.
It was Xie Jiaojiao who came over and saw that he was motionless. She asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Weinan handed the letter in his hand to her.
Xie Jiaojiao read all the lines at a glance: "Your uncle asked us to go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year?"
"Brother Qin said that the weather in the capital is going to change. Uncle might want us to see him for the last time."
After saying that, she raised her head, looking hesitant: "But you just gave birth, and Xiaoxiao is still young..."
Xie Jiaojiao held his hand and said decisively: "Let's go to the capital."
She understood him. If this was really the last time they saw each other, Jiang Weinan would probably spend the rest of his life in regret...
