Shock! The maid in the Marquis's mansion gave birth to the eldest son of the prince
Chapter 245 Birthday Banquet
However, it is really hard to tell the origin of this Wu'an Marquis' wife, Ning Xin County Lady. She never participated in the flower-viewing parties held by the noble ladies. The noble ladies in Beijing like to appreciate flowers and compose poems, but she has never participated in it once. Maybe she is afraid of exposing her illiteracy?
When everyone was congratulating the old lady on her happiness, Chan Yi secretly glanced at the mother and daughter of Marquis Wuyang standing beside her, and saw Lu Jingqiu smiling gently, but there was a hint of coldness in her smile.
"By the way, old lady, this is a birthday gift from my daughter Qiu'er." Lady Wuyang Hou said with a smile, holding Lu Jingqiu's hand, her eyes full of pride.
The maid behind him came forward and unfolded the calligraphy and painting in her hand. A painting of red plum blossoms blooming in the snow appeared before everyone.
Chan Yi looked up and saw that the painting was really well done, with white snow and red plum blossoms, very poetic, well painted, and the calligraphy was also very beautiful, worthy of being a famous talented woman in Beijing. But it was too rigid and lacked spirit.
Chan Yi smiled slightly and thought, they are trying to show off regardless of the occasion, aren't they just trying to outdo me? But Pei Jin has already married me, what else do they want?
"Madam, are you tired? I'll help you go back and rest." Pei Jin asked in a low voice.
"Today is my mother-in-law's birthday. I'm leaving like this. I don't know what they will plan for the future." Chan Yi smiled with her hands covering her lips.
"So what? These gossipy women just have too much free time." Pei Jin stood up straight, holding Chan Yi and was about to walk out.
"County Lady Ning Xin, what do you think of this painting?" When the wife of Marquis Wuyang saw that they were about to leave, she hurried over, held Chan Yi's hand, and asked with a smile.
"Miss Lu is well-known for her talent, how could she not be good?" Chan Yi smiled gently, "Especially her handwriting is really unique. I think Miss Lu must have learned calligraphy since she was a child, unlike me..."
"Yes, yes, my Qiu'er has been learning calligraphy since she was young. Her teacher is Liu Chen, a famous calligrapher in the capital." Lady Wuyang Hou said proudly with her chest puffed out.
"So that's why. No wonder." Chan Yi nodded.
"Our girl has been raised in her maternal home since she was young. We in the Zhenguo Mansion only hope that she is healthy. Everything else is just icing on the cake." Madam Lin protected her daughter and rescued her from the wife of Marquis Wuyang.
"My daughter-in-law is kind and filial. Look, she gave birth to a smart grandson and is now pregnant again." Old Lady Wang glanced at the wife of Marquis Wuyang and said, "I wonder in what lifetime did our Shen Zhi get the blessing to marry her."
"The old lady is right. Your son and daughter-in-law are truly a loving couple made in heaven. You will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future." Lady Qingping is Lin Yi's biological mother and has always been close to Old Lady Wang.
"Ladies and ladies, please go to the flower hall over there and take a seat. It's getting late." Mother Zhang and her maid bowed and said.
"Hurry up and go. I heard that the Zhu family's new play is very good. Let's feast our eyes on it."
"Yes, I heard that this troupe is not easy for ordinary people to hire."
Everyone chatted one after another and followed Mother Zhang and the others to the flower hall.
"Qianqian, you've been tired. You don't have to accompany us. You can go back with Shenzhi. I'm here." Old Lady Wang said lovingly to Chanyi.
"Mother-in-law, I will go back first. When the banquet is about to end, please ask Mother Zhang to call me and we will see the guests off together." Chan Yi said softly.
"Okay, you guys go back first." Old Madam Wang nodded repeatedly.
After going out, the couple walked towards the backyard.
"Qianqian, you don't have to worry about those things. You are pregnant, so you must not get involved." Pei Jin said with a frown.
"Look at these people who look down on me, openly or secretly. I don't want to bring shame to the Marquis's Mansion and my family, right?" Chan Yi put away her smile and said seriously, "So many female relatives came to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. It's better to get rid of it once and for all this time."
"Chan Yi, you..." Pei Jin shook his head and said, "You don't need to show up. They will leave soon."
"That's your business. I'll handle mine myself." Chan Yi chuckled and said, "I hate those who try to step on me again and again."
"Okay then, everything is up to you." Pei Jin nodded, feeling a little melancholy. Chan Yi married him, but there was still this troublesome thing.
"It's none of your business," Chan Yi leaned against him and said quietly, "Now that you are the new noble in the capital, people who are jealous of you naturally can't stand seeing our family doing well. They have no choice but to start with me. I think these rumors may not be the idea of the Wuyang Marquis's family."
"Chan Yi, I really don't want to let you suffer any injustice. Don't worry, I will get back for you what they did to you one by one." Pei Jin pecked Chan Yi on the face with pity and helped her walk back.
In the flower hall, the female family members ate while watching the party. When they saw the exciting parts, they cheered from time to time.
As the party was coming to an end and the food and wine were almost finished, some of the women were about to leave when Chan Yi came in with a few maids, smiling.
"Ladies and ladies, are you satisfied with today's banquet and party?" she said with a faint smile.
"Madam Hou has made very good arrangements."
“It suits our taste very well.”
"very good."
Several families even came to ask Chan Yi to arrange for Zhu's band for them, as they also had a banquet at their house. Chan Yi nodded and agreed. Seeing how approachable she was, everyone had completely forgotten about the rumors.
"We'll take our leave now. Thank you for the hospitality." The wife of the Marquis of Qingping took a few girls and said goodbye first.
"Madam, these are pastries made in our house. Please take them back and let everyone have a taste. By the way, I happen to have a few round fans that I made in my spare time. I hope my sisters don't dislike them." Chan Yi said in a gentle voice and took the round fans from Chu Yue's hands.
Qinghe had already respectfully handed the cake in his hand to the wife of the Earl of Qingping.
"Oh, this fan is so beautiful!" The eldest daughter of the Qingping Marquis's family exclaimed, pointing at the lotus fan in Chanyi's hand, "This lotus leaf and lotus fan is exactly what I like. Can you give it to me? Thank you, Princess Ningxin."
"Really? I'm so honored. I also like lotus the most, especially when the lotus leaves just emerge from the water." Chan Yi picked up a round fan and fanned herself, saying, "In the past, when I lived in the south of the Yangtze River, my grandparents had a lotus pond, which was a beautiful sight all year round. The little lotus leaves had just shown their pointed tips, and dragonflies had already landed on them. This scene and artistic conception were indescribable, don't you think so, sister?"
"Yes, yes, I like this poem too." Miss Lin excitedly held Chan Yi's hand, as if she had met a soulmate. "County Lady, did you write this painting and this calligraphy?"
