AWB Chapter 40 Full Moon Banquet
Chapter 40 Full Moon Banquet
Xie Ying naturally had no idea how unhappy the fake daughter was right now.
She ate and slept every day, and before she knew it, the full moon had arrived.
On this day, Tujiazhuang was particularly lively.
After discussing with Xie Xiu, Tu Yong and Liu Zhichun decided to follow Xie Xiu to the capital, so they planned to make the full moon banquet more lively.
Because after the full moon banquet, they will prepare to leave Tujiazhuang and head to the capital.
After all, what Luo said that day still left a shadow in the hearts of the two, making them very worried about Tu Jiaojiao following Xie Xiu to Beijing alone.
Although the couple already has four children, Tu Jiaojiao is not young after all, and naturally cannot compare with those young and fresh girls.
When Xie Xiu was in Tujiazhuang, he didn't dare to think of taking a concubine. Who knows if he would have other thoughts after he went to the capital?
So to be on the safe side, they have to go to the capital!
However, even if they originally didn't want to hold a big event, they had to do it this time.
Because as early as ten days ago, wealthy families began to send people to inquire about the full moon banquet, all wanting to join in the fun.
Tu Yong didn't even know many of them, he had only heard of them.
Who would have known that these people who had never been here would now all want to attend the full moon banquet for the two children.
Tu Yong knew that it was because of Xie Yun.
Although they felt complicated, they couldn't turn the person away since he had sent someone to ask them politely.
So Xie Ying and Xie Di held a particularly lively full moon banquet.
Not only was the Xie family's yard filled with tables, but even the yard of the Tu family next door was requisitioned.
However, two courtyards alone were not enough, and many tables were placed in the open space outside for the servants brought by the guests and the farmers to use.
Xie Ying and Xie Di wore brand new red clothes, red tiger-head hats, tiger-head shoes, and even their swaddling clothes were brand new.
After raising them for a month, both children became much whiter and plumper, looking like lucky dolls.
When the two were carried out by Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Xiu, they did not cry. Instead, they opened their big eyes and looked around curiously, which made the guests love them very much.
Even those who just wanted to win over Xie Xiu felt particularly itchy when they saw the two adorable babies, a boy and a girl, and they wanted to hold them in their arms to share in the blessing.
The male guests were relatively restrained, but the female guests could not contain themselves. They stared at the two dolls eagerly, and some even reached out their hands.
However, Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Xiu were very cautious. They only brought the children out to show their faces, and then took the two children back into the house without letting the guests hold them.
I’m afraid someone will get sick and pass it on to the two children.
After returning to the bedroom, Tu Jiaojiao stayed in the room to look after the two children and did not go anywhere. Only Xie Xiu went out to deal with the guests.
Not only that, they also specially arranged people to guard outside to prevent any guests from breaking in.
Xie Ying lay in the cradle, listening to the sounds coming from outside, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
It’s so lively with so many guests coming outside.
It's a pity that she is too young now and can't go out to watch the fun.
After all, there are too many people outside, and little kids have weak immunity and are prone to getting sick.
Oh, I really want to grow up quickly.
She kicked her feet up out of boredom, not knowing how many people were envious of her excitement.
It was also a full moon, and the Xie and Tu families were filled with relatives and friends, but the county government office was deserted and so quiet that it was eerie.
Since all the important figures in the county government had gone to the Xie family to celebrate, the place naturally became deserted.
Xie Ying and Xie Di are the granddaughter and grandson of Xie Yun, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, but An An is just the concubine's daughter of a convicted official, so their treatment is naturally incomparable.
Everyone is willing to celebrate Xie Ying and Xie Di's full moon because of Xie Yun.
But An An is a concubine of an official who is about to be exiled to the border. Who will celebrate for her?
Her biological father was far away at the border and her biological mother was in prison, so it was impossible for them to celebrate for her.
However, the wet nurse and maid who took care of her were very glad that she could live to see her full moon.
But no matter how happy they were, they couldn't hold a full moon banquet for An An in the county government office.
So An An's full moon was particularly lonely, no different from the previous ones, and it didn't look like a full moon at all.
This made her very unhappy.
Although she didn't remember what the full moon banquet in her previous life was like, she had heard Xie Rou and Xie Tang talk about it.
They said that her full moon banquet was very lively, with many guests coming and many gifts received.
Who would have thought that after living her life again, she wouldn't even have a full moon banquet!
It would have been fine if there wasn't anything, but the wet nurse and the maid started talking about Xie Ying and Xie Di's full moon banquet right in front of her!
The nurse sighed softly, "I heard that the county magistrate took his wife and the young master and young lady to the Xie family's full moon banquet!"
"It's not just the county magistrate! I heard that County Magistrate Zhou, Chief Clerk Zhao, Dianshi Liu, and Master Chen are all there!"
The maidservant lowered her voice when she said this, "Even Lord Han from the Black Qilin Guard went there in person!"
The nurse sighed more and more: "With so many adults gone, the Xie family must be so lively!"
The maid said meaningfully, "Think about it, all the adults have gone, how could those prominent families not go? It must be very lively over there! It's a pity that we can't go and see it, otherwise, if we could have taken a look, we would probably brag about it for the rest of our lives."
The nurse shook her head and sighed, "Ah, so they say the same person has different fates. This child was born on the same day as them, but their fates are so different!"
The maid whispered, "Thank goodness Mr. Xie discovered the switch in time, otherwise the young lady of the Xie family would be lying here suffering."
The nurse thought so too and could not help but sigh, "That's right, she is really lucky. She was switched at birth, but her biological father discovered it in time and switched her back, thus avoiding a life of suffering."
An An was so annoyed by what she heard that she clenched her fists in anger: What do these two mean? Xie Ying is lucky, is she destined to suffer?
It was obviously not like this in the previous life!
In her previous life, she successfully became Xie Ying, but the girl from the Xie family went to the border to suffer in her place and became Chu Jiangtian's child bride.
Even if Chu Jiangtian showed special pity for her, what would it matter? Didn't that woman still suffer from a difficult labor and hemorrhage, and die young in the stinking delivery room?
Isn’t it just a full moon banquet?
It is also worthy of the envy of these two people.
When she goes to the border and becomes Chu Jiangtian’s child bride, she will be the queen of the new dynasty!
Xie Ying from the Xie family will never get involved with Chu Jiangtian again in this life!
She would never be as useless as that woman. After becoming Chu Jiangtian's child bride, she couldn't even control Chu Jiangtian, and even let those vixens come in easily!
In this life, Chu Jiangtian can only belong to her!
If those bitches dare to snatch from her again, she won't be polite to them!
An An was unwilling to admit that she was jealous to the point of going crazy, and could only keep imagining the infinite glory of her future in her mind, until she was finally exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
Tujiazhuang, Xie family.
Xie Ying also fell asleep after drinking the milk. When she woke up, she didn't know what time it was in the afternoon.
Anyway, there is no sound outside.
However, the guests should not have left yet, because only Tu Jiaojiao was with them in the bedroom, and Xie Xiu was not there.
When Tu Jiaojiao saw that she woke up, she changed her diaper and fed her some milk.
Xie Ying opened her eyes wide and looked around, curious about what was happening outside.
Not long after, she saw Xie Xiu striding in.
Then Tu Jiaojiao asked, "How is it? Have all the guests left?"
Xie Xiu nodded: "Yes, he has been sent away. Now it's time to deal with that person."
Xie Ying raised her eyebrows in surprise, suspecting she had heard wrongly: "???"
What does it mean that it’s time to deal with that person?
Who is this dealing with?
Didn't she just take a nap?
Why do we have to deal with people?
What on earth happened that she didn't know!
