Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

For the full moon banquet, Xia Yue meant to hold it in a big way, but it should not be extravagant.

The banquets at home are all internal affairs, and it is said that Lang Guan does not intervene, Xia Yue just makes some ideas and makes a decision, and Daddy Youyun and Shiyan will do the rest according to his wishes.

Daddy Yun felt very relieved. Although the only son of his family had been doted on since he was a child, he didn't have any bad habits of a dude. Good son.Daddy Yun thinks that no Langguan in Yincheng can compare to Xia Yue.

Shiyan is used to thrift, but Xu has been in the Yun family for more than a year, and he is already used to the level of expenditure of the Yun family.He was very clear about what her husband meant. The ostentation had to be grand, not petty, but there should be no extra waste.There is no need for extravagant meals, the menu must be well-designed and high-quality, the matching must be appropriate, and the wine must be selected well.

The two chief servants of the Yun family are both competent, and within a few days the menu was set, the list of guests for the banquet was made, and the entire house was being prepared in an orderly manner.

Shiyan stayed in the room anyway, so she was in charge of writing posts for the guests. Xia Yue held the baby and watched from the side, teaching him to choose different rhetoric for different objects.It's been a long time since I wrote so many words. Shiyan was actually a little nervous, afraid that my handwriting would be rude to others, but seeing that her husband didn't say anything, he felt relieved. After the post was written, he sent it out quickly.

"Mr. Wen and the others don't know if they can come over." Following Xia Yue's wishes, Shi Yan also sent a message to Wen Yougong in Beijing. After all, he and Xia Yue are called brothers, and it is unreasonable not to invite them.

Xia Yue wasn't sure if Beijing could get away with it at this time of year. He thought it would be great if Wen Yougong could come, but he couldn't and couldn't force it.

Thinking of Beijing, Xia Yue smiled and said to Fu Lang: "In March, I'll take you to Beijing and go to the tasting party together, okay?"

Shi Yan suddenly felt very pleasantly surprised, how could he not say it well, with the joyful look on his face, he almost counted the days on his fingers.

Xia Yue watched it amusedly, knowing that Shiyan was happy and there were a lot of wine to drink at the tasting, so he couldn't help but secretly said a little drunkard in his heart.

On the [-]th day after giving birth, Dr. Shen came to see Empress Shi Yan and told him that she could go out.

"Young madam is recovering very well, so it's okay to go out," Dr. Shen said, "Just be careful not to catch a cold. You must continue to ask the young master to help you take a bath, and you can sit in the bath until next month. Food supplements still need to be taken." Continue, if you feel unwell, just come and look for me."

Shiyan listened carefully, and nodded to express that she would follow the doctor's advice. Dr. Shen turned around and said to Xia Yue: "Young Madam, if you can go out, it's better to be accompanied by someone. The rest of the precautions are listed in the note given to the young master last time." Then, the young master can just do as written above."

On the day of Shiyan's delivery, Dr. Shen wrote about how to take care of the postpartum ladies and gentlemen. Xia Yue has always followed suit. Even if he doesn't understand the taboos mentioned above, he will never go there. try.

The husband and wife sent Dr. Shen out after finishing the consultation. After stepping over the threshold, Dr. Shen suddenly turned his head, with a slight smile on his lips, and said: "By the way, although the young lady is recovering well, the intercourse still needs to be resumed." Be patient for a month, please wait patiently, young master."

When sexual intercourse was mentioned without hesitation, Shi Yan instantly felt a burst of heat on his face.Xia Yue was thick-skinned, although he didn't feel shy, he couldn't help complaining in his heart: Dr. Shen wrote it all on the small axis, and he himself knew something in his heart, so did he need to say it on purpose like this?That smile made Xia Yue's teeth itch.

Although he can go out now, Shi Yan has no place he wants to go. Apart from asking Xia Yue to accompany him to Xi Jiu Zui, he basically only takes a walk in the courtyard.The baby is almost full moon. Although the father-in-law wanted to let him rest well and didn't let him worry about it, there are still many things that he, the father, has to do.

On the day when the baby was full moon, the Yun family was very lively.

Early in the morning, a servant opened the door and hung a brand new lantern outside the door.Bamboo knots were burned in the front yard, and as soon as there was a crackling sound, the whole house began to be busy.

The full moon banquet is divided into outer seats and inner seats. The invited guests naturally enter the inner courtyard to sit, and the outer seats outside the house are for entertaining neighbors.Long tables are set up along the courtyard wall, with wine, vegetables, fruit, snacks and red eggs on display, and servants and servants are waiting beside them.Those who have newly prepared come up to give a small red envelope, and those who come up empty-handed to say auspicious words can get a glass of full moon wine to drink. With carefully arranged side dishes, even if there is no seat, it is very pleasant.

The outer seats are open from noon until dusk.The guests in the inner seats did not start to visit until dusk.

The Yun family's kitchen has been busy since the night before, and the food and drink for the outer banquet has been changed for four rounds, and after it is finally over, it is time to start preparing for the inner banquet at night.

The inner table directly used Xi Jiuzui's menu.Originally, Shiyan was worried that there would be a lot of guests, and that Chef Wang might be too busy, so he proposed to ask Dulelou to host this full moon banquet.Shopkeeper Cheng and Steward Fang found out, they took Cook Wang with them, and went directly to Shiyan.How can such a big event like the addition of a child to my boss be entrusted to outsiders? Even if Xijiuzui closes the door and does not do business that day, he still has to do a good job at the full moon banquet.

The Yun's kitchen specially vacated a large stove for Cook Wang. When everyone else was busy making outside dinners, Cook Wang and his staff began to prepare the dishes for the evening.When there is some free time, everyone in Yun's kitchen will go to watch Chef Wang.

When night fell, the big lanterns in front of Yun's house lit up, glowing red and festive.

The guests came one after another, Xia Yue greeted him at the front, seeing Qi Yu and Yan Jiu coming together, he hurried up to greet them.

"The two came alone?"

The two congratulated Xia Yue, and Qi Yu replied: "My father still has work to do, and Daddy and the others will arrive later. I met Yan Jiu on the street, so we came here together first."

"Great," Xia Yue heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled when he saw the doubts of the two courtiers, "Can you bother me to accompany Shi Yan in the room? It's still a while before we leave the banquet, I'm worried that he will be bored."

Qiyu and Yanjiu looked at each other, and they both laughed. It was too conspicuous for them two unmarried young men to sit alone on the banquet table, so they could go and see Shiyan and Baobao first, so they naturally nodded in agreement.Xia Yue hastily summoned an attendant to lead them the way.

Shi Yan took a bath for the baby, changed into a new set of clothes, and tidied it up cleanly. He also put on the new clothes that were delivered two days ago, and the father and son obediently waited in the room for the feast to begin.

The little attendant was waiting in the room, and when he heard the knock on the door, he went to open the door, and recognized that one of them outside the door was the son of the magistrate's family, who had a close friendship with his young wife, so he hurriedly saluted and greeted him, and sent him into the house.

Although she didn't feel bored, Shiyan was pleasantly surprised to see a friend visiting suddenly. Of course, she was happier with someone chatting with her than staying alone.

Yan Jiu and Shi Yan met for the first time after worshiping the gods, and there was a little unnaturalness on their faces, but they still expressed their joy frankly.

When they saw the baby in Shiyan's arms, both of them smiled happily.

"He's so cute," Qi Yu carefully touched the baby's cheek, "I wanted to say it last time, this kid's eyes are so big and watery, as if he can shine on people."

Yan Jiu also reached out and shook the baby's little hand. Seeing the baby looking at them curiously, he couldn't help but sigh: "So good, he doesn't cry when he sees strangers. My younger brother used to cry a lot. The full moon banquet It was basically crying from the opening of the banquet to the dismissal of the banquet."

When a friend praised the baby, Shi Yan was both happy and proud, so she hurriedly called people to sit down at the table, and ordered the servants to serve tea and snacks.

Qi Yu and Yan Jiu teased the children for a while, then asked about Shi Yan's situation.Both of them are young ladies who have not left their boudoirs, and they are very curious about the matter of having a child. In addition, Qi Yu is about to get married, so naturally they are more concerned and want to prepare for their future.Shiyan patiently told them about the discomforts she would experience when she was pregnant, the appetite would be strange, the mood would change, the child’s abdomen would hurt when kicked hard, and the legs would cramp at night, etc. Always trouble yourself.

Both Qiyu and Yanjiu had seen their father or paternal father's appearance when they were pregnant, and they felt that they had suffered a lot, but they didn't know that they even made troubles with their husbands. After hearing Shi Yan's words, they all felt admiration for their father.

"I just felt that the smooth delivery of my baby is due to the good care of the baby." Shi Yan patted the baby in her arms and said, "I have gained weight in the past few months of being pregnant, but he has lost weight." .”

Yan Jiu sighed: "Both of you have worked hard, but you are indeed well-raised, and you look good in the temple."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Qi Yu with a smile again: "The next one is you, but your future husband is very sympathetic to you, and I think he will take good care of you."

"Don't make fun of me," Qi Yu blushed, "Think about yourself, didn't you want Shi Yan to introduce you, why don't you open your mouth here?"

Shi Yan originally looked at them with a smile, but when she heard this, she turned to look at Yan Jiu.

Yan Jiu didn't expect Qi Yu to speak directly, and his face couldn't help turning red. He frowned and hesitated for a while, then raised his head and said, "I'll just open my mouth, right? Shiyan, remember?" I asked you, does your farm over there have any decent Lang Guan who is of the right age?"

Thinking of what Yanjiu said on the second day of the new year, Shiyan nodded: "I remember, but I don't know if you really said it. Before you see, you only saw people in the city. If you are serious, I will turn around I'll let you inquire."

"Of course I take it seriously, it's just... I definitely can't go to farm. If the other party is willing to leave the family's field and come to the city, you can... introduce me." Yan Jiu blushed, but still said Speak out loudly.

Seeing him like this, Shi Yan felt happy, so she nodded and agreed. It happened that tomorrow she was going to take the baby back to Bai's house, so let's find out for Yan Jiu by the way.

The three gentlemen chatted while drinking tea, the time passed quickly, and when they realized it, it was already dark outside.

Guessing that it hadn't been long before leaving the banquet, Shi Yan asked the little attendant to bring warm rice milk to feed the child.Qiyu and Yanjiu watched with great interest, quietly noted down Shiyan's gestures, and occasionally asked for some essentials.

Feed the baby well, and when you picked it up and put it on your back, there was a servant knocking on the door, saying that the young master let me come and say, the banquet is about to start, the family members of the two young masters have already entered the table, please go over first.

Only then did Qi Yu and Yan Jiu get up to say goodbye.

After Shiyan sent the man out, she turned around to the mirror and took a look. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she sat in peace and waited for her husband to come back and lead her to the table.
