Everyone has not forgotten that the protagonist today is the one-month-old Xiao Hai. After a month of feeding, the child has become fair, tender, chubby and very cute.

Many villagers played with Xiao Hai, and the little guy was very energetic today, with his eyes rolling around. Some villagers also gave him gifts, some small clothes, some cloth, and those with some money even gave him a small silver lock or bracelet.

Before the banquet started, Shen Ping also asked Hong Gu to open the gifts given by the guests in front of her. She saw that Mr. Liu gave a longevity gold locket, Shopkeeper Shi gave a gold bracelet, and several other shopkeepers also gave silver necklaces and silver bracelets.

Shen Ping put all the gifts from the guests on her grandson, and then asked Hong Gu to return the gifts one by one. In addition to red eggs, the gifts also included red envelopes containing two taels of silver and some steamed cakes.

As for the two eunuchs, Shen Ping asked Magistrate Xu and Captain Li to accompany them, as well as He Yao, and was greeted by Sanchun and Wuchun.

Sanchun is now the manager of the workshop. He has to deal with guests all day long. His eloquence has improved as well. He is more confident now and treats people with neither arrogance nor servility.

Because today was special, Xu Feng and Madam Xu did not come, but they asked Lord Xu to bring gifts, including a set of small bellybands and a pair of longevity locks.

As for Erya and Siya, they accompany old Tong, and a few cousins, and occasionally take care of their nephew.

The third concubine was also chatting with Mrs. Mo at this time. Her two sons are now studying at the Moral Education Academy.

Seeing Master Mo and his companion coming, she took the opportunity to get closer to him and wanted Master Mo to give her two sons special treatment. It is said that in order to win at the starting line, it is always good to have a good relationship with the master.

After a long while, Mr. Liu found an opening, walked up to Shen Ping, and smiled with his fat face showing his teeth: "Madam Shen, I can finally talk to you today.

I heard from my wife that your cosmetics are good, and I want to discuss cooperation with you. What do you think? "

"Heh~"

Shen Ping was happy. There was no point in chasing away business that came to her door automatically. But she really didn't have time now.

After thinking about it, he waved and called Sanchun over.

"Mr. Liu, this is my third son, and he's also the owner of the cosmetics workshop. You can talk to him about the cooperation. I'm busy right now, please forgive me!" After saying that, he bowed apologetically.

Mr. Liu didn't mind. He could talk to anyone as long as they could discuss cooperation.

Mo Ru is now five months pregnant. For safety reasons, Mrs. Mo specifically told her to stay in the room and walk less, so as to avoid too many people asking her about it, which would make it difficult for her to speak.

As for Shen Yang, Shen Ping had also informed him in advance, asking him to stay in the room and not show up, and to have someone deliver the food when the time comes, so as not to arouse suspicion.

After all, there are too many people here and they are too diverse, so it is better to be careful so as not to reveal any clues.

This was exactly what Shenyang wanted. He hated socializing the most. What's more, he didn't know anyone in this strange place and didn't want to waste his time on ineffective socializing.

After lying down for a period of time, Shenyang feels that his physical condition has deteriorated. Now he tries to move his hands and feet. The injuries on his hands have almost recovered, but he still feels some pain and cannot exert any strength.

It is said that it takes 100 days to heal a broken bone. It has only been half a month since he started recovering, so it is normal that he cannot use his strength. After all, the external injuries have not yet fully recovered, let alone the internal injuries.

Shenyang sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating peacefully, letting the Qi flow through his body. Fortunately, his internal organs were not blocked, proving that his internal injuries were not serious. If there was blood stasis, it would be difficult.

After taking a breath, he felt that his body had recovered some strength, so Shenyang practiced some more kung fu to consolidate his knowledge so as not to forget it after not practicing for a while.

It is impossible to forget it because I have practiced it for more than ten years. It is a muscle memory engraved in my bones. It is a subconscious reaction and it is difficult to forget.

He also heard the two eunuchs outside reading out the third word of the imperial edict. He was horrified at the time, thinking that something big had happened, so he quickly moved closer to the window and peeked out.

He happened to see Eunuch Gui reading the imperial edict, and Eunuch Lin standing aside. He couldn't see the other people because they were quite far away, so Shenyang could only use his internal energy to listen carefully.

Unexpectedly, this Madam Shen had done so many good things for the people and even alarmed the emperor of the court to bestow a title on her. Shen Yang immediately looked at Shen Ping differently.

All the guests had arrived and were just waiting for the kitchen to finish cooking so they could start eating. The people in the kitchen were busy at the moment, and many women came forward to help. Shen Ping's mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, asked the third wife, Mrs. Jiang, to go and help as well.

In the past, Jiang would definitely be timid and pouty, but now it is different. She works in a cosmetics workshop and can earn wages.

What's more, Shen Ping is very different now than she was in the past. Not only can she earn money, but she has also been bestowed with a title by the emperor.

The recent achievements of others were beyond her reach. Although she still felt a little envious and jealous, she did not hate them.

She now understood that the more she went against Shen Ping, the less benefit she would get, so she should just get along with her normally.

It's too late for her to curry favor with her now, and of course she won't go against her. But if she wants to curry favor with her, she can't be too obvious, otherwise she will seem too cheap.

In short, talk less and do more, there will definitely be no problem. How could someone as smart as Shen Ping not see it?

Today's menu is quite rich, including sweet and sour carp, sweet and sour spareribs, salt-baked old chicken, marinated platter with pig intestines, pig ears, pig heart and pig liver, stir-fried lean meat with three fresh delicacies, dry pot rabbit meat, Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, pork shank and carrot soup, and pig's feet with ginger and vinegar.

There are ten dishes in total, nine dishes and one soup, plus a plate of dyed red eggs. Speaking of this pork trotter with ginger and vinegar, it is also Shen Ping's original creation. She has seen it in a certain video before. Southerners eat this during the confinement period. It is very nutritious and helps to increase milk production quickly.

As for the staple food, in addition to white rice, there are also white flour steamed buns, and corn porridge, you can choose from. Not only that, there are also snacks after the meal, which are made by Si Ya herself, including mung bean cakes, water chestnut cakes and radish cakes.

After everyone's anxious busyness, it was finally time to eat. Zhang Sanniu selected a dozen young and strong men to serve the dishes.

Except for Sanchun's house, all other houses were set up for banquets. The distinguished guests and relatives were eating inside the house, while the other villagers were having their banquets outside in the courtyard.

Zhang Sifeng also came back with her husband Bangchui and two children in the morning. Sifeng came up to greet Shen Ping and went to find work. When the meal started, she sat at the same table with her mother Li.

Everyone was already starving after smelling the aroma of meat in the air. Some of them even went hungry for a whole day just waiting for this meal.

When the dishes were served, everyone's eyes widened. They didn't expect that the dishes were even richer than the last time they entered the house. They were all hard dishes. When the dishes were first served, many people were afraid that they would not be able to get any food, so they gobbled them up like they were snatching them up.

By the time the fifth and sixth dishes were served, I realized I was already full and stuffed, but the dishes had not been served yet, so I could only stare at Lai Gan.

Some people have gained experience in eating. They are not in a hurry when the dishes are served. They let others grab the food and wait until others are full while they still have room to eat. The final dishes are always served at the end, and each one is better than the other.

When all the dishes were served, a whole table full of food, everyone couldn't help but sigh that this table of food was enough for their meals for a year.

At this moment, everyone was quiet and busy eating. The only sound was the smacking sound of food.

Shenyang was already hungry by now. When he heard outside that it was time for dinner and smelled the aroma of the food in the air, his mouth was watering.

But no matter how long I waited, no one came to bring me food, and I became impatient.
