Chapter 162 9 Heavenly Seats
Huaying was also infected by her sister-in-law's impatience, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
I turned my head and stared at my sleeping nephew quietly. The little guy was lying quietly in the cradle, his small body wrapped in soft swaddling clothes.
Huaying carefully reached out her hand and gently stroked the little clothes on his body, her eyes full of love.
"His name is Shen Yu'an, which means peace."
Huaying whispered, with a hint of attachment in her voice, her gaze always fixed on her little nephew, a warm light in her eyes.
When Bai Wei heard the name, she felt touched.
Shen Yu'an, she likes this name.
The most sincere wish of every mother is that her children can grow up safely.
She once again cast her eyes on her son sleeping in the cradle, gently lay down beside the cradle, and said softly to the baby: "An'er, when you grow up, you must protect your aunt who loves you the most."
Shen Yu'an seemed to understand what his mother said in his sleep and uttered a babyish "hmm".
Huaying opened her eyes wide in surprise, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she smiled at her sister-in-law.
Time flies and it is Mid-Autumn Festival.
Early in the morning, the entire Shen Mansion became bustling.
Today is not only the Mid-Autumn Festival in Wu State, but also the ninth-day banquet for Shen Yu'an, the eldest grandson of the Shen family.
According to the custom of the Wu State, a banquet would be held to celebrate the birth of a boy nine days after birth, and of a girl twelve days after birth.
Therefore, everyone in the Shen family was busy preparing to welcome the upcoming relatives and friends.
The maids and old women each had their own duties; some were busy hanging red silks, while others were arranging bright flowers.
The old housekeeper pointed out that the red silk was hung crookedly, and then complained that the red flowers were too close.
Just then, Yue Niang came over holding an exquisite gift box.
The housekeeper looked at the strange woman who came so early and asked politely, "Miss, do you have an invitation?"
Yue Niang smiled at the old man and motioned the servant behind her to take out a bright red invitation and hand it over to him.
After receiving the invitation, the housekeeper immediately respectfully invited Yue Niang to enter the Shen Mansion.
This was the first time Yue Niang stepped into the Shen family's gate. When she saw the luxurious mansion, she couldn't help but marvel at it.
He is indeed a rich man!
Then, a maid brought Yue Niang to the gate of Molan Pavilion's courtyard, said something to the maid of Molan Pavilion, and left quietly.
Afterwards, Qingqing led Yue Niang to the second floor and knocked on Huaying's door.
"Miss, the boss of Beauty Clothing Shop is here."
Huaying, who was dressing up, heard the voice coming from outside the door, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly ordered: "Please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was gently pushed open.
Yue Niang walked into the room, bowed respectfully to Hua Ying, and said, "Hello, Miss Shen."
Qinghe, who was combing Huaying's hair, burst out laughing when she saw her like that. Huaying looked at her reserved appearance and said with a smile, "Where is the usually impetuous Yue Niang?"
When Yue Niang saw Qing Qing close the door and leave, she stood up straight and sat on the chair. "Oh, that's for your own good. You still have to follow these red tapes when necessary, otherwise people will see you and laugh at the friends Miss Shen has made."
After saying that, Yue Niang picked up the pastry on the table. It tasted the same as the one Huaying brought her last time. It was delicious, and Yue Niang looked very satisfied.
Seeing this, Huaying was also amused by her, "Yue Niang, bring the clothes you made for your sister-in-law today."
After combing her hair, she stood up.
She was wearing a green brocade dress, with her hair in a flowing bun and green jewels pinned in her hair. She looked noble and gentle.
Yue Niang gave her a thumbs up and said, "You are getting prettier and prettier." Then she said, "I brought my sister-in-law's clothes. Your housekeeper was so surprised when she saw me bringing so many gifts."
I guess I have never seen so many gifts.
Huaying walked over with a smile and looked at Yue Niang. Yue Niang had dressed up specially today. She had light makeup on and her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting. Her big watery eyes flashed with intelligence. Why didn't she realize that she was so beautiful before?
"How about it? I never thought that Yue Niang would have a chance to turn things around. I told you that I starved myself and lost several pounds for the sake of my noble man."
"Haha, I admire you. Let's go and give clothes to my sister-in-law."
After cleaning her hands, Yue Niang picked out her eldest sister-in-law's box of clothes, and then took out a moon-white gift box and handed it to Hua Ying, "This is a gift for the young master, you can give it to him. The young mistress just gave birth not long ago, so it's better to have fewer people visiting. I'll wait for you outside."
Huaying nodded. In ancient times, confinement after childbirth was very particular. No one else was allowed to enter except family members. On the ninth day of the lunar month, her sister-in-law and nephew showed up before the banquet and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Yue Niang naturally knew these rules.
Huaying smiled and nodded. Seeing that it was still early, she said to Yue Niang, "It's too early for you to go to the front yard. You can read in my room. There are storybooks on the bookshelf."
Yue Niang nodded and urged her to deliver clothes to her sister-in-law quickly.
.....
Huaying came to her eldest sister-in-law's room and saw her eldest brother lying beside the cradle, looking at his son with tenderness in his eyes.
"Brother, is sister-in-law here?"
Shen Nanting straightened up when he saw Huaying, pointed behind the screen, and said with a smile, "Your sister-in-law has been complaining about being fat since early morning. She is not fat at all, she is just plump and round."
Shen Nanting deliberately spoke loudly to the screen, and then quickly covered his mouth after he finished speaking, for fear of waking up Xiao Yu'an who had just fallen asleep.
Bai Wei behind the screen heard what was said outside and whispered, "Little sister, come here..."
Huaying came over with clothes in her arms and saw her sister-in-law looking at a pile of clothes worriedly. "Sister-in-law, the clothes that Yue Niang customized for you this morning have just been delivered. Try them on to see if they fit you well."
Bai Wei raised her head, glanced at the gift in her hand, and breathed a sigh of relief: "You came at the right time! After I gave birth to my child, the sleeves of my old clothes always felt too short. Could it be that having a baby can make me taller?"
As she spoke, she opened the gift box with a smile, and inside lay a lavender dress.
Bai Wei put on new clothes and walked to the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror carefully, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
She was wearing that lavender skirt in the mirror, her three thousand strands of hair were tied into a simple and elegant bun, and a strand of black and shiny hair fell in front of her chest, adding a bit of charm.
She only put on a little makeup, and the charming phoenix eyes under her willow-shaped eyebrows became more lively, and she looked plump and had the charm of a new mother.
At this time, the hall outside the door was already full of people, and Yue Niang also sat down under the guidance of Qinghe.
Just when she was extremely bored, she saw Yue Xing who was maintaining the safety of the mansion. Yue Niang's face immediately turned red. Yue Xing turned around and saw her, and was slightly stunned, then returned to her usual state.
Just then, with a burst of firecrackers, Lord Shen entered with Mrs. Shen and their children.
Shen Nanting came in front of the crowd to protect his lovely wife and children. Mr. and Mrs. Shen greeted and thanked everyone.
Seeing that Shen Yu'an was about to wake up, Huaying quietly reminded her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, it's almost time for us to leave. Xiao An'an will wake up soon."
Upon hearing this, the sister-in-law nodded slightly, pulled Shen Nanting's sleeve with her hand, and whispered a few words in his ear.
