Chapter 121 has profound meaning
The reason for this banquet was that when Wen Mingqian was ill a few days ago, people from these families came to visit him.
Now that she has recovered from her illness, she naturally wants to thank her.
Therefore, everyone was very afraid when they talked about Gong Changan.
"Nowadays, every family's children are kept in front of them and are not allowed to go out easily." Mrs. Feng said, "If nothing else, just a false alarm is enough to scare people."
"Who says otherwise! These gangsters are really brave." Everyone said, "For the sake of money, they even ignore the laws of heaven and kings."
"Fortunately, there was no danger, but it made everyone worried." Wen Mingqian said with a smile, "I invite you all to come today, let's have a lot of fun together, and help us get rid of bad luck."
"There is no bad luck. This kid from Chang'an is blessed at first glance. As the young phoenix sounds louder than the old phoenix, the future is limitless." Madam Changrong Hou said, "But what is the point of being able to get together and have fun? None of us will refuse a good thing.”
"Besides this reason, there is another thing," Wen Mingqian paused and said, "It is thanks to the second lady of the Cui family that Chang'an can come back this time. I want to thank her in public."
Except for the Wu family, few people knew about this, so Wen Mingqian briefly said it and called Gong Changan to come over and thank Cui Baozhu.
After hearing this, everyone praised Cui Baozhu.
Although she knew that she had deliberately embarrassed Wen Mingqian in public before, it was nothing compared to the help she received now.
Cui Baozhu blushed and said: "I only helped a little, and I don't deserve such praise."
"How can this be a small favor? Miss Cui Er is kind-hearted and righteous. She is so humble." Wen Mingqian said and winked at Sang Er.
Sang Er walked to Cui Baozhu holding a box.
"This is a little bit of my heart. Please accept it." Wen Mingqian said, "Don't take it lightly."
Sang Er opened the box, and inside was a gold necklace inlaid with pearls, which was unique and precious.
Cui Baozhu quickly stood up and declined: "This can't be done. This gift is too expensive. Besides, my wife has already sent a butler to send many thank-you gifts to my family."
"It's already rude that I didn't come to the door to say thank you in person," Wen Mingqian said, "This bracelet is not worth anything, so don't refuse, girl."
"Yes, Miss Cui Er, thank you for your hard work. I have a set of earrings here, give them to you too." The old lady in the palace smiled and asked the little girl to take them over. When everyone looked at them, they also had a pair of pure gold earrings inlaid with pearls. The pendant shows that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had discussed it before.
"I have to say that Miss Cui is naturally good. This is also because Mrs. Cui teaches well." The reason why Wen Mingqian gave Cui Baozhu a gift in public was because she guessed that most of the things Zhang's mother sent that day would not be delivered. When it comes to Cui Baozhu, her stepmother must occupy it.
But the jewelry given out in public today was different, and everyone saw it. If it appeared on her stepmother or a girl in the future, she would naturally be ridiculed.
But she still praised Mrs. Leng in public in order to make her look good and not embarrass Cui Baozhu in private.
Mrs. Gong agreed very much with Wen Mingqian's move. Although the clues provided by Cui Baozhu did not directly save Gong Chang'an, they did help after all.
The Gong family values face the most, and they all say that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. This way, outsiders can know that the Gong family is a family that knows how to repay kindness.
Mrs. Leng was very good at talking about things. She smiled and responded: "The second lady is ridiculous, but my daughter is indeed filial. I tell people when I meet her that although she is not my biological child, she is better than my biological child. But I always have a headache and a fever." , she served her in plain clothes, even better than her own child.”
She said this with hidden thoughts, and praised Cui Baozhu for his filial piety in front of outsiders. Be filial, be filial, be both filial and obedient, and you will naturally not disobey your parents' orders.
Although the set of jewelry given by Wen Mingqian and Mrs. Gong cannot fall into his hands, it is enough as long as Cui Baozhu is under his control. However, Cui Baozhu felt guilty about this, and felt more and more that she should not have had harmful intentions before.
But the palace family members had already said this, and if they didn't accept it, they would be disrespectful of the compliment, so they said shyly, "Thank you so much to the old lady and the second lady."
As soon as the dishes were served, Liu Cuiyi was sitting next to Wen Mingqian. As the dishes were served one after another, she couldn't help but frown.
Dishes that I usually thought were delicious now make me feel disgusting when I smell them.
She tried her best to endure it, but she still couldn't help but retched when the last fish soup was served.
"What's wrong with my sister?" Wen Mingqian asked hurriedly.
Liu Cuiyi covered her mouth in embarrassment and said, "I'm so rude."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Wen Mingqian asked again.
"No, I don't know why this happened suddenly." Liu Cuiyi said in confusion.
Fang Shi, the eldest grandma of the Changrong Hou Mansion, looked at it and said with a smile: "Isn't it that Grandma Zhou is not sick, but is happy?"
When she said this, everyone woke up and said, "That's right. Let's go back and ask the doctor to take a look."
Liu Cuiyi couldn't help but blush, but she secretly thought it was possible.
Her monthly letter was a few days late, and she and her husband did sleep together last month.
Her husband Zhou Jingsan is a complete playboy. If he was not fooling around in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, he would be messing around with his concubines at home.
I have always looked down upon Liu Cuiyi, thinking she was dull, haggard, and unattractive.
But since Wen Mingqian came back, he has helped her condition her skin, arranged medicinal meals for her, and even helped her find ways to get rid of the housekeeper's job.
Liu Cuiyi became less restless, stopped taking those messy folk remedies, and coupled with careful conditioning, her whole complexion and body and mind changed greatly.
In addition, she deliberately avoided her husband, which made Zhou Jingsan even more interested.
He comes to pester Liu Cuiyi every now and then. Although Liu Cuiyi refuses, he is her husband after all, so he shouldn't go too far.
Therefore, we still have to book the same room every ten days and half a month.
Wen Mingqian ordered people to move the fish soup away and said: "If there is really joy, that would be great. When you go back, you must ask the doctor to take a look. You can't be careless."
"Let my sister worry about it. I'll go back and ask the doctor to take a look. I'll send someone to tell my sister so that you don't worry." Liu Cuiyi said in a low voice.
Although she has her mother-in-law, not many people really care about her. And Wen Mingqian sincerely thinks about her. Her life is better now than before, all because of Wen Mingqian's guidance and help.
She was truly grateful from the bottom of her heart.
Wen Mingqian gently shook her hand under the table, said nothing, then stood up and began to greet the guests.
