Chapter 381 Full Moon Party
Soon it was the day of the full moon banquet.
Xie Jiaojiao went to a jewelry store a few days ago and ordered a gold longevity lock for the doll. Yesterday, she asked Lai Fu to bring it back.
After getting up early in the morning and washing up simply, Xie Jiaojiao sat in front of the mirror and checked the things she had given away.
Behind her, Jiang Weinan tied her hair into a single bun and took out a pearl hairpin to decorate her hair.
Xie Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror, a little surprised: "I'm not the protagonist today, you dressed me up so grandly, aren't you afraid that I'll steal the show?"
As she said this, she was about to take off the pearl flowers on her head.
Jiang Weinan hurriedly stopped her.
"Boss Liu won't dress up lavishly for this occasion. We are here to give face to her and Manager Gu. What if we don't dress up and are outdone by others?"
When he said this, Xie Jiaojiao felt that what he said made sense, so she picked up a pearl tassel next to her and put it in her hair.
“Will it look better?”
"Beautiful, my wife is beautiful!"
Xie Jiaojiao said coquettishly: "You are so talkative!"
She got up and changed into a pink spring dress. When she went out, she took a small round fan in her hand as an ornament so that she could fan herself when it was hot.
"Does she look like a rich lady?"
Jiang Weinan couldn't help but smile: "You are the young lady of a rich family!"
Xie Jiaojiao was satisfied, and took Jiang Weinan's hand and went out to Jiang'an City...
When we arrived in Jiang'an City, it was almost noon. We followed the address and went directly to Manager Gu's home.
There were servants welcoming guests at the door, and the shopkeeper Gu was entertaining the guests with a happy look on his face.
He saw their carriage from a distance, and hurriedly greeted the guests in front of him and walked to the Jiang family's carriage.
Jiang Weinan helped Xie Jiaojiao get off the carriage.
Gu Weizhi was surprised when he saw her slightly pregnant belly.
"Congratulations, Boss."
Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan laughed: "Congratulations!"
"Please come in, sir. Rumei has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Jiang Weinan helped Xie Jiaojiao into the house, and the maid immediately went to inform Liu Rumei.
Liu Ru had a headband wrapped around her forehead and was followed by an old maid who was holding a quilt in her hands.
I guess the person inside is her son.
Liu Rumei came over with a smile, and when she saw that Xie Jiaojiao was pregnant, she pulled her to look at her for a long time, saying, "I was wondering, you've been married for such a long time, why haven't you gotten pregnant yet! Look, it hasn't been long since the last time, and your belly is already this big."
"You really know how to tease people. I saw you were just showing your pregnancy last time, but it's only been a short time and you're already holding the baby in your arms!" Xie Jiaojiao also teased her.
When it comes to this, Liu Rumei feels somewhat unhappy.
"Come on, I'll tell you about this in detail later."
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her twice, then stretched out her hand, and Jiang Weinan handed her the brocade box.
There was a ginseng and a small box in the brocade box.
"This ginseng is for your body. The one in the small box is a gift for your baby."
When she took out the ginseng, it looked very valuable. When Liu Rumei opened the small box, she saw a small golden lock inside. The small golden lock looked very beautiful, and there was a small string of bells under the lock.
Liu Rumei's eyes turned red: "See, I invited you here and made you spend money again."
"Come on, don't be so touched. You haven't even finished your confinement yet. There are so many people here, so hurry up and put your things away to nourish yourself!"
Liu Rumei nodded, turned around and handed it to the old maid, asking her to put it back into the house.
Xie Jiaojiao originally wanted to hug the new baby, but when she looked down and saw her growing belly, she gave up the idea of hugging the baby.
The Gu family's house is not big, just a small two-story house. The yard is already filled with banquets. When many people saw the clothes worn by Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan, they thought that they were of different identities and were asking who they were.
Finally, the servant said, "That's our master's employer!"
Gu Weizhi's boss? Isn't that the real boss of Xiangyuanlou?
Everyone wanted to come over to get acquainted, but was immediately blocked by Lai Fu.
When Mrs. Gu first saw them come in and they seemed to be having a good chat with Liu Rumei, she looked very displeased.
But when she heard that it was her son's boss, her heart immediately warmed up and she came over to say hello with her crutches.
"Thank you for your hard work along the way."
Xie Jiaojiao frowned and looked at her. She actually guessed her identity in her heart, but she still looked at Liu Rumei.
Liu Rumei introduced her to Jiang Weinan: "Jiaojiao, this is my mother-in-law."
Xie Jiaojiao then nodded slightly.
"Madam Gu, are you well?"
"Don't blame me, my wife is not very good at cooking. Please come in and take a seat!"
With just a few words, Old Lady Gu was already saying bad things about Liu Rumei. I guess she must not have a good life in this family!
"You are joking, old lady. Rumei and I are old acquaintances and friends, but we are too concerned about etiquette."
After saying that, he didn't want to pay any more attention to it, and said to Jiang Weinan: "I want to talk to Rumei, come and call me when it's time for dinner."
Jiang Weinan nodded, and Xie Jiaojiao and Liu Rumei went to the backyard. No one paid any attention to Old Lady Gu.
For a moment, Mrs. Gu stood there, feeling extremely embarrassed.
The two went to the backyard and found a gazebo to sit down.
"Your mother-in-law is usually not very kind to you?"
Liu Rumei sighed, "That's right. Ever since I came into the family, she has despised my background. At the beginning, she even insulted me with words like a prostitute!"
"Then can you still bear it?"
"So what if I can't bear it? I've already married Weizhi, and now we have a child!" At this point, Liu Rumei grabbed Xie Jiaojiao's hand and said, "To be honest, if it weren't for Weizhi and the child, what would it matter if I tore my face off with her?"
Xie Jiaojiao listened and nodded. It has been like this since ancient times. Once a woman gets married, many things become beyond her control.
"What's wrong with your child? If we count the dates, even if she is born, it should be the beginning of next month!"
When it comes to this, Liu Rumei couldn't stop showing anger on her face.
"In fact, after all, this is all related to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law! In the end, the child was born safely. Otherwise, if anything happened to the child, I would definitely divorce Gu Weizhi!"
Seeing her angry look, Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask again: "What happened between your mother-in-law and your little mustache?"
"It's a long story..."
