Rebirth is not a dream.
Chapter 40 Preparation Day Banquet
Su Yue had just sat down next to the eldest young lady when she heard the seventh young lady Qin Jiaojiao say in a sarcastic tone: "I heard that you, the third sister-in-law, have Zhang Xiaohua playing the piano for you in the yard all day long. Aren't you afraid of disturbing others?"
Su Yue was secretly wondering, isn't it just playing the piano? Why is there such a fuss? Are these people just too idle to do anything? So she responded with a smile: "Oh? So Seventh Sister is interested in this! If so, when the opportunity arises, I will definitely call Yanyan to play a piece for you."
Qin Jiaojiao was puzzled when she heard this and asked, "Who is Yanyan?"
Su Yue chuckled and explained, "Yan Yan is Zhang Xiao Hua from before! I feel that she is the biological mother of our third wife's eldest daughter after all, and it is a bit inappropriate to always call her 'Hua'er' or 'Cao'er, so I changed her name to 'Yan Yan Yu Fei'. Doesn't it sound more pleasant this way?"
As she spoke, Su Yue cast her gaze towards Madam Hou and said, "Madam, the eldest daughter of a concubine in our courtyard is about to turn one hundred days old! I was thinking, why not just organize a lively one-hundred-day banquet for her, what do you think?"
Hearing this, the Marquis's wife was surprised and responded, "Oh, time flies! It turns out that the little girl is already a hundred days old. I remember the last time I saw her was when she was just born, and I never had the chance to see her again. Can you bring her here tomorrow so I can take a look?"
Su Yue nodded repeatedly, expressing her agreement: "That's of course the best, Madam. Now this little girl is becoming more and more lovable, and everyone loves her, and flowers bloom wherever they see her!"
Madam Hou: "Oh, when did the third son's wife become so talkative? Did the third son say when he will return home?"
Su Yue muttered to herself, "You, as a mother, don't know, how can I, an unjust wife, know?" But she still smiled and said, "The Third Young Master has a lot of schoolwork, and I don't dare to bother him too much on weekdays, so I don't know about this matter."
Madam Hou nodded and said earnestly, "Yes, the third son will take part in the Spring Examination in a few months, so he should really focus more on studying. You don't have to worry too much, after the exam, he will naturally have free time to accompany you and your daughter."
Su Yue listened to this and couldn't help but murmur in her heart. Isn't it the Marquis's wife who is talking? What's the matter with us mother and daughter? There are more than just me in Qin Yi's backyard? However, she only dared to think about these words in her heart. On the surface, she still looked submissive, indicating that she would obey the Marquis's arrangements in everything.
Su Yue: "Then let my daughter-in-law arrange Xiaoyaoyao's hundred-day banquet."
The second wife interrupted, "Third niece, we need to prepare for the banquet in advance. You just mentioned it a few days ago, how can we make it in time?
"Su Yue smiled and replied, "I don't want to make a big deal. All the families in our mansion who can come can come to our courtyard to have some fun and add some joy to the little girl. When the time comes, I hope Second Aunt will come and prepare a small gift for our little girl."
The Second Lady originally wanted Su Yue to prepare some exquisite head ornaments and jewelry for her to attend the princess's poetry meeting, but Su Yue asked her for things first. The Second Lady was speechless for a moment and said nothing more.
Madam Hou said, "That's great. You can prepare it yourself and ask your second aunt to talk to the kitchen. You can draw up a menu for Aunt Tian and ask her to arrange the meal for you."
Su Yue saw that her goal had been achieved and didn't want to discuss clothes and jewelry with them anymore, so she bowed and left. Before leaving, she smiled and said to everyone, "Madam, eldest sister-in-law, and a few sisters, you must come to support us when the time comes!" She then looked at the second and third wives and said with a smile, "Second aunt and third aunt, don't miss it either!"
After leaving the main hall, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that it was not easy to live a peaceful life in this deep mansion. Although she did not expect Qin Yi's favor, she should at least make herself comfortable. She did not have to hold a hundred-day banquet. In fact, she just had nothing to do. Zhang Yanyan danced with her these days, which made her feel that she should do something in return. Otherwise, she would feel bad to ask her to play the piano every time.
After returning to the courtyard, Su Yue immediately found Aunt Tao and asked her to prepare Xiao Yaoyao's 100-day banquet according to the plan. Aunt Tao had experience in this area and quickly drew up a preliminary list. After Su Yue carefully checked it, she added some details to ensure that every aspect of the banquet would be perfect. In the next few days, the courtyard was extremely busy, and everyone was making final preparations for Xiao Yaoyao's 100-day banquet.
On the morning before the 100-day banquet, the sun shone through the window into the room, illuminating everything. Su Yue, dressed in a light blue gown, looked particularly fresh and elegant. She held the lovely little Yaoyao in her arms, and followed the well-behaved Zhang Yanyan, as they went to the Marquis' Mansion to pay their respects to the Marquis's wife.
When the Marquis saw the three of them, she smiled kindly. She loved Xiaoyaoyao even more when she saw her cute and tender appearance. She couldn't help but hold the child in her arms and play with him. Then, she took out an exquisite longevity lock from the drawer, gently hung it around Xiaoyaoyao's neck, and wished: "May my little baby grow up healthily and live a long life."
Su Yue was so grateful that she knelt down to thank him. After she stood up, she took the opportunity to say, "I have something to ask of you. Our little Yaoyao still doesn't have a formal name. Now that grandpa is not around, I beg you, grandma, to give her a beautiful and pleasant name." After hearing this, a trace of loving light flashed in the eyes of the Marquis's wife. She hugged little Yaoyao and whispered softly, "This child is so smart and lovely, which reminds me of an old story. Back then, the old Duke was always fascinated by the scenery of Xiangjiang River, but he never made the journey in his life. Why not name her with the word 'Xiang', which not only implies beauty, but also serves as a commemoration."
Su Yue silently repeated in her heart: "Qin Xiang..." She felt that this name was not only pleasant to the ear, but also profound in meaning. She could not help but be overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, expressing her great satisfaction. Thus, Xiao Yaoyao had her own name - Qin Xiang. From then on, this name would accompany her through every stage of her life.
