Chapter 51 Uninvited
"Congratulations to Mr. Ye for making the tiles!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Ye on the celebration of making tiles!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Ye for winning another thousand gold coins!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Ye..."
…
On October 14th, there was a steady flow of traffic and horses at the gate of Ye Mansion, and there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate the guests. Mr. Ye who was greeting the guests at the door almost froze with laughter!
It was past half time, all the guests who were due to arrive had arrived, and the Ye Mansion started the full moon banquet.
In fact, many of the guests who arrived today were beyond the master's opinion, that is, they came uninvited.
For example, the old lady of the Luo family, Jun's mother-in-law, is naturally Luo Xingnan's mother - Zhou Shi Peiling.
Even the Dong family, who is related by marriage to the Luo family, and Princess Jinghui's husband's family, also sent congratulatory gifts.
Although no one came, it would be a great honor to bring gifts to Ye Mansion!
Not to mention, this gift is given in the name of Princess Jinghui!
Another example is Mrs. Song's mother-in-law and her three daughters-in-law. Among them, the second Mrs. Song, Fang Fenglan, is Song Wenyuan's mother.
Mrs. Song, Mrs. Chen Meiying, was Song Wenyuan’s eldest aunt.
Furthermore, Master Cai and his wife, as well as Cai Mingshan and his wife, came together.
These families have little contact with the Ye family on weekdays, but Mr. Ye knows in his heart that they are here today entirely because of his daughter.
Of course, these are not the only unexpected visitors, but also Wu Wenwen.
Strange to say, this Miss Wu family did not come with that guy Sun Yanhua, nor did she come with her parents and elders. Instead, she came alone with a maid.
Moreover, she arrived late after the full moon banquet had started. Even the Song family couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw her.
However, no one else saw Da Song's abnormal reaction.
Because, at this time, Mrs. Ye came out to meet the guests with her little daughter in her arms!
"I have met several old ladies, ladies!"
Mrs. Ye, who looked great and had recovered her figure extremely well, came in with her little daughter in her arms and greeted all the ladies first.
Her postpartum recovery was excellent, and all the ladies here could not believe that this was a woman who had only given birth for more than a month.
I was also curious, how did Mrs. Ye recover so well?
Of course, this was not the best time to ask this question, so they just waited for the banquet to end and asked Mrs. Ye for advice.
However, the female relatives of the Luo, Song, and Cai families knew very well who was responsible for Mrs. Ye's recovery so well!
"Hey, let me see this little darling!"
Mrs. Luo stood up, smiled and stepped forward to look at the infant girl Chlorophyll.
"It's really painful. You can tell it's good at first sight!"
Mrs. Luo praised with a loving smile on her face.
"She is smart and lovely, and she will also be a beauty when she grows up!"
Mrs. Song also came forward, looked at it carefully for a while, then smiled and praised.
"This child is so well-born. He is very smart and lovely at first glance!"
Mrs. Cai also smiled and spoke. Although she has not completely gotten over the matter of her eldest grandson, she has come today.
First of all, it is to thank the ancestor for preserving the entire Cai family.
Secondly, I also want to walk around and get closer to my ancestors.
Unfortunately, she has not seen the figure of her ancestor so far.
Of course, she didn't dare to ask rudely.
How could she ask about the fairy's whereabouts at will?
After everyone chatted and joked, they all praised the little girl Chlorophyll, who was sleeping soundly in her swaddling clothes. The wives of the three Luo, Song and Cai families kept stuffing good things into her swaddled clothes, which made other ladies smack their lips.
Even the Song family couldn't help but feel envious after seeing it.
These three families are all famous and big families, and their family background is by no means ordinary. If you can make friends with them, it will be equivalent to stepping into the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto.
So, relying on her status as aunt, Mrs. Song began to warmly entertain the guests and kept talking to the three old ladies and several other ladies.
Perhaps her purposeful enthusiasm was too obvious, so the three old ladies and several other ladies did not like to talk to her. After a few rounds, the Song family became more disciplined.
At this time, Wu Wenwen, who was sitting at the end of the small flower hall, looked absently into the courtyard.
It seems that she did not simply come to attend the full moon party, but had other purposes!
"Why is it that Sister Luran is not there at the Second Young Lady's full moon party?"
Suddenly, Wu Wenwen asked with a smile.
These words made the ladies and Mrs. Ye who were chatting and drinking tea suddenly stop talking and look at her in unison.
Among them, many ladies asked each other with their eyes, "Whose daughter is this, so ignorant of etiquette?"
The ladies looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Even the Song family felt embarrassed and did not dare to talk to Wu Wenwen in front of the ladies. She only pretended not to know her for fear of being embarrassed.
"Second Miss's full moon banquet, sister Lu Ran must be very busy, so she doesn't have time to become a monk and meet all the ladies!"
Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted, Wu Wenwen smiled and spoke again.
The words sounded very considerate, but the underlying meaning was that he was blaming the ancestor for not knowing etiquette.
All the ladies here are ladies, how can they not understand these twists and turns?
So, when they looked at Wu Wenwen again, their eyes had an inexplicable look.
Only Wu Wenwen felt pretty good about it. She felt that it attracted everyone's attention and left a good impression on the ladies.
The impression has indeed been left, but whether it is good or bad is hard to say!
"Of course you can't come out because of something important. Madams, you will forgive me. But which family does the girl belong to?"
"I've never heard of it before."
Mrs. Ye, the good ancestor, knew what she was thinking, and it was impossible for her to be instigated by other people's words.
After Mrs. Ye asked this politely, she stared at Wu Wenwen coldly, waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.
Wu Wenwen's face turned red when asked, and she immediately felt embarrassed, so she asked for help from the Song family not far away.
Because the people who came to Ye Mansion for the full moon banquet today were all the head wives and old ladies. The only unmarried woman was Wu Wenwen, so she didn't even have anyone to talk to.
At this time, she regretted coming here today.
"Madam, you misunderstood. I am familiar with Sister Luran, so I spoke more casually!"
"I didn't mean anything, I just felt curious when I didn't see Sister Lu Ran, so I just asked casually!"
No matter how scheming she was in her heart, she was still a boudoir girl, and she knew it would be embarrassing to be stared at by so many ladies, so Wu Wenwen explained with a forced smile.
But her words were not convincing at all.
Mrs. Ye doesn’t believe it!
All the ladies here don’t believe it either!
Even the Great Song family doesn’t believe it!
"Which girl are you from?"
Mrs. Ye's face gradually softened, and she stared at Wu Wenwen and asked again.
At this time, she was basically sure that the girl in front of her came uninvited, and she was beyond her reach.
"My little girl's surname is Wu and her given name is Wenwen. She is..."
No matter how thick-skinned Wu Wenwen was, she was embarrassed to say that she came uninvited, so she blushed and did not dare to speak.
"I have a good relationship with Sister Luran, and I am here today to congratulate Second Sister Ye on her full moon feast."
Wu Wenwen didn't have the nerve to say which family she was from, so she could only insist on being friends with her ancestors, hoping to escape Mrs. Ye's questioning.
"Since she is Ran'er's good sister, then you can go play with her so that you don't get bored here."
The Song family, who hated Wu Wenwen in her heart, was afraid that she would reveal her acquaintance with her son, so she smiled and spoke. In fact, she wanted to send him out as soon as possible.
