Chapter 1817 Full Moon Banquet
Some people were quite interested. All the major families knew that since Madam Shao dared to brag so blatantly, she must be close to the truth. Otherwise, she would not dare to say it. What if it affected Mr. Shao's official reputation?
While everyone is waiting for it to go on sale, you might as well buy some to try it.
If it's good, there's no harm in planting some.
On the day of An An's full moon banquet, the house was packed with guests.
Dozens of tables were set up in the backyard of the government office. The male guests were entertained in the garden, while the female guests were seated in the east courtyard.
That day, Qiao Xuan called all the people from the big courtyard over there, including Song, Miao, Qiaoqiao, etc. Together with Songshi, Qingyan, Mianmian, Lixia, Liqiu, Caiyue Caiyun, etc., they were all very busy.
It was fine in the garden, Sun Bai, Sun Qian and the other yamen runners could help take care of it, but in the East Courtyard, you couldn't miss a moment. Otherwise, if someone did something to it, it would be no joke.
All the ladies came to attend the full moon banquet, and they had to see the child. The wet nurse and Caiming and Caiyun, who were in charge of taking care of the child, were extremely worried all day. Two of the three people had to stay with An An at all times, and no outsiders could be allowed to help take care of the child.
All day long, Lixia and the others were in high spirits, quietly looking after the guests and the maids and servants who came with the guests.
On this day, no one came to the Fan family again.
The Fan family actually wanted to come, but they couldn't save their face.
After all, in order to save her own dignity, Old Lady Fan listened to Fan Ruyin's slander and forbade the Fan family to give gifts. Now, all those attending the banquet were there to give gifts and congratulate, so naturally the Fan family could not go.
Unless Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan send someone to invite us.
Old Mrs. Fan felt that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan would definitely send someone to invite them.
After all, the Fan family is one of the three major families in Anze Prefecture, and the prefect will not refuse to give them this face. Moreover, in the matter of checking the land, the Fan family has already taken a big step back and given the prefect enough face.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fan waited and waited but no one from the Shao family came.
After waiting a little longer, I estimated that it was time for the meal to begin.
No one would come to treat you at a time like this.
Mrs. Fan’s humiliation turned into anger: “Too much! Too much! Fine, fine, you humiliated our Fan family like this, I will remember this!”
Fan Ruyin also added fuel to the fire: "Oh, I think it's because we gave in this time that the prefect thought we were a soft persimmon that was easy to bully. And those guys who are just taking advantage of the power of others, when the prefect leaves Anze Prefecture one day, I want to see what they do..."
Old Mrs. Fan was filled with rage. In the past, she was most wary of those mountain bandits who ruled the mountains, but now she was hoping that those bandits would come down the mountain to cause trouble and teach that ignorant Lord Shao a lesson.
The two masters and mistresses of the Fan family did not dare to get close to Old Lady Fan. After this day, they were afraid that the Fan family would be laughed at again.
So many families went to the provincial government to attend the banquet and congratulate, but my family did not go. Even though I had volunteered not to go before, I still felt a sense of loss as if I was being excluded for no reason.
Mr. Fan and his wife sighed, "Mother is still as hot-tempered as before, but this governor is different from any of the previous ones, alas!"
Mrs. Fan remained silent.
Of course she knows.
Previously, there was a daughter of a prefect named Bai Ruirui who took a fancy to a hairpin inlaid with pearls. Bai Ruirui snatched it away forcefully, and the prefect's daughter could only swallow her anger.
