Ji Xiaoyun was very happy, and everyone in the Ji family was happy for her. ▼
Today is not only the day when Ji Xiaoyun returns to the door for three dynasties, but also the day for the Ji family’s family to reunite. Master Ji San’s fleet is going to sea again, and this time it will take at least a year to come back. This is also one of the main reasons why Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er asked Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen to reunite at Xinhua Hall.
On such a day, the banquet preparations are naturally very rich.
In early April, spring and Jingming, Mrs. Ji Er simply asked someone to place the banquet in the flower hall of Xinyuan. There were two tables in the banquet, one for men and one for women. However, they were all their own flesh and blood, so there was no need to avoid it. There was no screen in the middle. Although the family had two tables sitting, it seemed that they were all on the same table, which was extremely convenient to speak.
As the saying goes, no wine can make a meal, and today's occasions are naturally indispensable. In addition to Xie Huaijin, Qin Zhen's table was a good drinker. He drank the imperial wine that Qin Zhen specially used to treasure for many years. It was brewed by fine craftsmanship when the late emperor was still alive, and it was very mellow. As for the banquets of the female relatives such as Ji Xiaotang, wine was used.
The wine tastes sweeter and not that big, so it is very suitable for women to quote.
It is Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaoqin who usually cannot drink alcohol. Today, there is a wine cup in front of you, so you can drink as many cups as you like.
This wine was also brought by Ji Xiaotang from Prince An's Mansion.
Ji Xiaoyun was happy today, and after drinking twice in a row, her face became more and more red. Ji Xiaotang looked in her eyes.
"Sister likes it. I'll send two jars to Uncle Shunyi's mansion to my sister. My sister and brother-in-law will drink it slowly in their spare time." Ji Xiaotang said to Ji Xiaoyun with a smile.
Ji Xiaoyun sat next to Mrs. Ji, while Ji Xiaotang sat on Mrs. Ji'er's attack. The two sisters faced each other diagonally. They were talking, and the people on the table naturally heard it.
Ji Xiaoyun nodded and did not be polite to Ji Xiaotang.
"I can't even drink other wines, and Huaijin can't drink them either. This wine is the only one, so it's okay for me to drink."
Ji Xiaotang smiled and looked at the men's table. On that table, everyone was drinking happily. Even Xie Huaijin was also filled with some wine by Master Ji San and others.
Mrs. Ji Er would come over at this time, with a smile on her face, and then beat the big girl Vanilla over and replaced the imperial wine in front of Xie Huaijin with wine.
Old Mrs. Ji said that Xie Huaijin was not good at drinking. She told everyone not to make things difficult for him. She just wanted to drink a few glasses of wine and everyone was happy.
In this way, Xie Huaijin was the only one on the table.
Ji Xiaoyun's face drooped down her head, but her mouth was full of smiles.
The dishes were served one by one. Before the previous dish could be used, the next dish was kept being served. Ji Xiaotang turned his head and talked to Yang. Mrs. Ji didn't have to come forward to serve, so she picked the dishes that Ji Xiaotang liked and put them into a bowl. Let Ji Xiaotang eat more.
Ji Xiaotang turned around and happened to Mrs. Ji used a silver spoon to scoop a small spoonful of dried scallops and stewed eggs for her.
Although this dish is ordinary, Ji Xiaotang likes to eat since she was a child. Back then, her teeth were not yet fully grown and she couldn't eat hard food. Her favorite food was to stew the tender egg custard with milk and other seafood with dried scallops.
Mrs. Ji Er added this dish to the banquet today for Ji Xiaotang.
"Taste it, this is my mother~ I cooked it for you in person. ?" Mrs. Ji Er said in a low voice.
"Mom, let the kitchen people do it, why did you cook yourself again? Now there are so many things at home, so I'm tired." Ji Xiaotang said angrily. But that tone was clearly acting coquettish in front of his mother.
"You said, it's not that you have been very clever since childhood. You like to eat this dish I personally make and let the cook make it. You spit it out after taking a bite. It's not delicious, it's not me..." Mrs. Ji Er said about Ji Xiaotang's childhood and smiled.
Ji Xiaotang has been very well-behaved since she was a child, but she is indeed a little picky about it, but as she grows older, she changes.
"Mom, that's been many years ago." Ji Xiaotang said hurriedly, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen was holding a wine cup in his hand and was smiling at Ji Xiaotang. Obviously, he had heard all the words of Mrs. Ji second just now. This interesting thing that Ji Xiaotang had when he was young was something he had never known before, but now he listened with interest on his face, as if he felt very novel.
Qin Zhen found out about this. After he returned, Qin Zhen would definitely joke with her, Ji Xiaotang thought to himself.
"How many years ago, it was like yesterday's incident to me." Mrs. Ji Er said, "With your sister-in-law helping to handle the family affairs, I am very idle now. I just cook one or two dishes and I feel tired. If you like to eat, you can eat more, that's the best thing."
"It's still my mother who feels sorry for me." Ji Xiaotang smiled, and picked up the silver spoon and delivered the egg custard to her mouth.
The kind and familiar delicacy was exactly what Ji Xiaotang liked, but she stopped her mouth by delivering the silver spoon.
Mrs. Ji Er saw Ji Xiaotang's mouth twitching, and a look of pain seemed to appear on her face.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Ji Er asked in a hurry.
Ji Xiaotang put down the silver spoon in her hand in a hurry. Just now she smelled the custard. She originally liked it, but for some reason she felt a little churning in her stomach. She originally thought that she could not stop Mrs. Ji Er's intentions, and wanted to endure the custard, but she couldn't bear it anyway.
"Mom, I'm fine." Ji Xiaotang said this, but she covered her mouth with a veil, turned around, and signaled to the person serving behind her.
Madam Cheng was behind Ji Xiaotang. She was quick-eyed and immediately brought a silver spittoon to Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang wanted to get up and leave the banquet, but she couldn't help it. She immediately took away the hand that covered her mouth and vomited at the spittoon.
This alarmed the whole family.
Ji Xiaotang didn't eat much, so he didn't vomit much. In the end, he just retching and slowly stopped. The people who served next to him hurriedly brought in fragrant tea to rinse Ji Xiaotang's mouth.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Everyone gathered around Ji Xiaotang and asked.
Qin Zhen had already walked to Ji Xiaotang's side. He gently stroked Ji Xiaotang's back and looked at Ji Xiaotang's face carefully.
Ji Xiaotang's face was originally white and flushed, but after this vomiting, he looked a little white.
"...I think it's like, so I'll just lie down. I'll call the imperial physician now..." Qin Zhen said, and hurriedly beat someone back to the mansion to spread the imperial physician.
Ji Xiaotang stopped Qin Zhen.
This discomfort came very suddenly. After vomiting, she felt much better. She felt that it was nothing, so she didn't want to ruin such a rare day because of this.
"I'm fine, I'm afraid the wind was blowing somewhere just now." Ji Xiaotang said.
However, her words could not convince everyone.
First, Mrs. Ji Er.
"Xiaotang has had a good appetite since she was a child and has never done this. In this world, there is no wind, and you didn't eat anything before? The dishes on this table were arranged by myself, and Xiaotang never shy away from the meal..." Mrs. Ji Er looked at Ji Xiaotang worriedly, thinking that this was not a trivial matter.
Qin Zhen also agreed with Mrs. Ji Er's view that for him, there was nothing trivial about Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang was helped down from the banquet by everyone and lay on the imperial concubine's couch in the back of the flower hall.
"I'm really fine, there's no need to make a big deal." Ji Xiaotang said while struggling.
However, no one listened to her and insisted on treating her as a patient.
Someone has already gone to the imperial physician. Mrs. Ji Er sat down in front of the imperial concubine's couch, counting almost exactly what Ji Xiaotang had eaten today with her fingers.
They are all very fine things, and Ji Xiaotang ate very little, so he did not show any discomfort.
"Is it because of the custard?!" In the end, Mrs. Ji Er's attention fell on the custard she made with her own hands.
There is no problem with the egg custard. She carefully selected all the ingredients and made them by herself. It was originally Ji Xiaotang's favorite food. Ji Xiaotang likes to eat these umami things, so Mrs. Ji Er specially added some good ingredients to today's egg custard.
"Didn't it..." Mrs. Ji frowned slightly and thought carefully. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Ji Xiaotang's hand. "Xiaotang, you smelled the egg custard, so you vomited?"
"Oh..., maybe... is it..." Ji Xiaotang was a little scared by Mrs. Ji's expression.
It is very rare for Mrs. Ji Er to show such an expression.
"You kid, why are you so confused..." This was almost the first time Mrs. Ji Er said that Ji Xiaotang was confused. Ji Xiaotang was always smart and careful. When she was a mother, Ji Xiaotang could always remind her. However, today, Ji Xiaotang seemed a little confused about this matter.
"Xiaotang," said Mrs. Ji Er. She looked left and right.
Master Ji Er, Master Ji San and Qin Zhen were all beside him, looking at Ji Xiaotang with concern while listening to their mother and daughter.
Mrs. Ji Er coughed dryly, giving Master Ji Er a wink.
Master Ji Er immediately understood that what Mrs. Ji Er wanted to say next was something that their men were not convenient for them to be present to listen to.
"Let's go out for a while and wait for the imperial physician to come." Master Ji Er said.
Qin Zhen and Master Ji San were both interested, especially Qin Zhen. Although he was reluctant to let go, he still followed Master Ji Er to go out.
After the men were out, Mrs. Ji lowered her voice and asked Ji Xiaotang again.
“…When was the last time I changed?”
Ji Xiaotang didn't remember it, but she just dealt with too many things on weekdays and didn't pay attention to it, so she turned her attention to the few people serving around her.
It was still Madam Cheng who came forward to reply.
Madam Cheng paid the most attention to this kind of thing and remembered it the most clearly. Ji Xiaotang changed her clothes last time on the second day of the previous month.
Ji Xiaotang's changing days are quite regular. According to the days, this month should have been changed around the first day of the New Year, but it has been postponed for three or four days today.
Such a few days of advance or postponement is not a big deal, and Ji Xiaotang didn't take it seriously. Although Madam Cheng muttered to herself, she thought that Ji Xiaotang had a lot of things these days, especially for Ji Xiaoyun's affairs, which took some effort. Women's body is already fragile, and whether it is mood fluctuations or physical condition, it will affect menstruation.
"...I thought about observing for a few more days. I had already kept my mind and did not let the princess eat taboo things." Madam Cheng said to Mrs. Ji Er.
"What to observe?" Ji Xiaotang saw that Mrs. Ji Er and Madam Cheng were talking kindly, but she was a little confused for a moment, so she asked.
Ji Xiaotang didn't understand, but Mrs. Ji understood completely.
"Thanks to Madam in everything." Mrs. Ji Er breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful to Madam Cheng. "Xiaotang is still young after all, and she is still a child in some aspects, and she has not experienced this, so she doesn't understand."
Old Mrs. Ji, Yang, and Ji Xiaoyun were all on the side. At this time, they all understood what Mrs. Ji was actually suspicious and worried about.
Several people couldn't help but show joy on their faces.
"If it is true, it will be a great joy!"
Ji Xiaotang naturally understood at this time, and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his abdomen.
Because she vomited just now, everyone suspected that she might be pregnant.
Will this be true?
Ji Xiaotang felt a little mixed in his heart.
