At such an old age, suddenly getting pregnant, and even being a mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen felt a little ashamed at first. But as the child grew bigger and bigger in her belly, and later became more and more beautiful after being born, Mrs. Shen's lost heart in her three sons finally found a new place to rest.
So, when Mr. Shen said he wanted to organize a grand banquet for his daughter's hundred-day anniversary, Mrs. Shen agreed without hesitation.
Who in Puning City could be as blessed as she is, having three sons in one pregnancy, and now at this age, she is blessed with a daughter!
This legitimate daughter of the Shen family has a single name, Yao, which was given by Old Master Shen. The original meaning of Yao is beautiful jade, which shows how much she is loved by Old Master Shen and Master Shen.
Old Master Shen also allocated ten pieces of the best land under his own name on the farm to his granddaughter.
Since the baby was one month old, Old Master Shen would ask the wet nurse to bring the baby to see and play with it every day. With such a little life at home, he did not immediately clamor to go back to the countryside. The main reason was that Second Master Shen did not go back either. Everyone was worried about him going back to the countryside alone.
On the day of the hundred-day banquet, Liu Wanyun's three sisters-in-law took a good look at this "little" sister-in-law. Her face was rosy and tender, like a finely carved white porcelain doll. Since she was born, she was loved by the elders in the mansion. The servants in the mansion found different ways to amuse her every day, and she developed a personality that smiled at everyone she met.
"This Yao girl is so cute, so adorable, come and let Sister-in-law hug her!"
Zhang Xinyue reached out to take Shen Yao from Nanny Wang's arms, but Madam Shen stopped her, "Don't hold her. Her hands and feet are very flexible now. She's scratching and kicking around without any rules or severity. Watch out for your stomachs."
Liu Wanyun and Guan Xiaoyu both looked at Chen Yao with smiles on their faces, but did not take any action. Their bellies looked bigger than Zhang Xinyue's, and it was inconvenient for them to move. In about another month, they would also be giving birth.
The fear I had about having children some time ago has gradually faded over time. Looking at this cute and interesting sister-in-law in front of me, I gradually feel some anticipation.
Liu Wanyun reached out and poked Chen Yao's little face, and she immediately squinted her eyes and smiled, which instantly melted Liu Wanyun's heart.
"Brother Dong, Brother Dong, come here, come and hug Sister Yao."
Since she couldn't hold the baby herself, she asked her man to do it for her.
When Shen Chaodong saw his younger sister, his face was rarely cold, but in Shen Yao's eyes, compared with those people who usually teased her, this person was still very scary. Her originally smiling face suddenly turned down when she saw Shen Chaodong reaching out his hand.
An expression that looks like he's about to cry.
Madam Shen quickly slapped Boss Shen's hand down and said, "Go away. Don't scare your sister by acting like someone owes you money every day."
Everyone around started laughing, and the one who laughed the loudest was Shen Lao San.
"Brother, if you look like this, I wonder how you'll ever be able to hold your child! Your child will be scared and scream every day..."
As expected, his rudeness got him kicked twice.
Chen Yao found herself still in Nanny Wang's arms, so she stopped crying. Looking at her eldest brother and third brother quarreling, a smile appeared on her face again, but her eyes were blinking. She was probably wondering why one of them looked scary while the other looked funny when they looked exactly the same.
Before she could finish her thought, her second brother with an identical face came up to her and teased her, causing her to blink even more violently.
Guan Xiaoyu looked back and forth between Shen Yao and Shen Laoer's faces twice, and couldn't help but say, "Chaonan, Yaomei looks quite similar to you."
This person looks like Shen Lao Er, so doesn’t that mean he also looks like the other two brothers?
So everyone compared the brother and sister again, and said that they really looked alike.
Mrs. Shen and Nanny Wang were forced to recall the past and nodded in agreement that they did look very similar to the three Shen Chaodong brothers when they were children.
However, as the old saying goes, girls change a lot when they grow up. When they grow up a little bit, there should still be some differences. After all, they are not from the same womb, so there will always be some differences.
The whole family gathered around the daughter, laughing and joking, until guests started arriving and they dispersed.
Now the three young ladies are completely unable to take care of the household affairs, so naturally, these matters are taken care of by Madam Shen, her aunt, and Shen Ruyi.
Those ladies who came to the banquet laughed in their hearts at Madam Shen for giving birth to a daughter at such an old age before they came, but when they arrived, they looked at the lively little cutie and were envious.
After all, their children have grown up, some are married, and some are engaged. But no matter what, they are no longer in their parents' arms. Instead, they are rebellious and disobedient. In short, they are fed up with each other.
For example, Xie Bufan, who entered the mansion with his mother, was complained to by Madam Xie as they walked. "We agreed to get married after the Flower God Festival, but you refused to listen, insisting you wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival when the flowers are in full bloom and the moon is full."
"If you get married sooner, you can have children sooner, how wonderful!"
Xie Bufan patiently explained, "Mom, look at the Shen family. In the past half year, they have no time or people to help Ruyi plan a wedding banquet."
That's true. First, Mrs. Shen gave birth, then the eldest daughter held her 100-day banquet. In another month, the three young ladies of the Shen family were also going to give birth, and then it was the 100-day banquet of the young master and the young lady. There was indeed no one in the inner house of the Shen family to help with Shen Ruyi's wedding.
You can't let her prepare it herself!
Moreover, Shen Ruyi still needs to help with the Hundred Days Banquet.
While the mother and son were talking, the servants of the Shen Mansion came to greet them. Madam Xie naturally followed them into the side hall of the inner courtyard to find Madam Shen.
Xie Bufan asked to go for a walk in the garden, but after entering, he asked around to find out where Shen Ruyi was.
Now that the two of them were engaged, the servants in the mansion did not shy away from it and deliberately teased him with an aunt's smile on their faces.
Whether you know it or not, everyone pretends to think about it and then gives a rough idea of the place.
"I think I saw the second young lady just now. She's in the kitchen."
"I just came out of the kitchen, I didn't see it..."
"What time is it in the kitchen? He must be in the side hall by now..."
"No, no, I saw the Second Young Lady in the corridor leading to the garden..."
He had just come from the garden and there was no one there.
When Xie Bufan saw the group of maids and servants surrounding him, each with a playful smile on their face, he knew that they were all talking nonsense.
"One by one, I'll let your second lady spank you later—"
The maids and servants all ran away in a hurry. "Sir! Don't complain. We will go and help you find the Second Young Lady now."
After a while, the whole mansion knew that Xie Bufan was looking for Shen Ruyi!
