After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 270 Birthday Banquet ([-])

Su Wunian laughed it off, and she was also in a happy mood at the moment.The moment a smile appeared on the deserted face, it was like a firework suddenly rising in the lonely night, blooming in an instant, eclipsing everything around.

Ever since the Battle of Wangchuanqiu, Su Wunian has never smiled so easily, a long-lost comfort and pleasure slowly melted away from the bottom of her heart, stealing a moment of joy.

She never thought that Chu Muchen, who was in his twenties, would give her the illusion that they were familiar with each other, that they had a tacit understanding of working hand in hand for many years.

In fact, however, this is simply impossible.

Chu Muchen looked down at the smile on her face, couldn't help seeing the gods, subconsciously grabbed Su Wunian's hand, and held it tightly: You finally smiled.

Su Wunian raised her eyes to meet his eyebrows.

He leaned slightly, leaning close to Su Wunian's ear, "The world is so beautiful, it's not one ten thousandth as beautiful as you."

The corners of Su Wunian's red lips raised slightly, and the smile melted away at the corners of her mouth.

Shen Mengli may not be able to bear the blow, and his body is already weak, and he tossed in the water for a while, and remained unconscious.

After seeing the doctor, Dr. Zhang said that there was nothing serious, but that his body was too weak and he would be fine after a period of recuperation.

Fortunately, no one else knew about this matter, so Zhang Zhilan suppressed the news, the front yard was full of guests, and Shen Pingjin was chatting and laughing with people.As the mistress of the Shen family, Zhang Zhilan couldn't stay away for a long time. After Shen Mengli was settled, she groomed herself and rushed to the front yard.

Doctor Zhang was originally here to attend the birthday banquet, but just "coincidentally" he was called by Zhang Zhilan to ask for some advice, the two of them were walking and chatting when they saw Chu Muchen descending from the sky.After Chu Muchen explained what was going on, Zhang Zhilan and Doctor Zhang rushed to the lake.

Chu Muchen naturally wondered why the first person he met was Shen Mengli's biological mother, and it just so happened that there was a doctor next to him.

As soon as Su Wunian and Chu Muchen arrived at the front yard, Wang Yanyi rushed over from the crowd, "Where did you two go just now?"

The two looked at each other, "Walk around casually."

"It's true that you forget your friends when you see sex, and you forget your brothers when you have a daughter-in-law. Why don't you take me for a stroll?" Wang Yanyi joked.

"Also, since you got married, our two brothers have rarely seen each other."

"No, no matter what you say today, you have to accompany me well."

"Little Lord, my wife is your cousin, you want to eat her jealousy?" Chu Muchen laughed.

"Husband, this is your fault. Although you and I are married, you don't have to hang around me all day." After getting married, Chu Muchen was really clingy, and he only wanted to be inseparable from Su Wunian.

"Even if you have a daughter-in-law, you can't forget your former brothers, and you should get together often to enhance your relationship."

"That's right, my cousin is sensible."

"Brother Chu, let's talk about the topic between men."

Just like that, Chu Muchen was dragged away by Wang Yanyi.

After the banquet, Mrs. Shen, Zhang Zhilan and others entertained the guests and their relatives in the side hall, and got together to chat about homework.

Maybe it was because Mrs. Shen was present, everyone had a tacit understanding and didn't mention anything about Shen Mengli.

But even though he didn't mention a word, everyone looked at Su Wunian with some deep meaning.

Mrs. Shen's criss-crossed thumbs fiddled with the strings of Buddhist beads hanging from the tiger's mouth, and each one was polished extremely smooth.

She smiled kindly, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and the dimples at the end of her eyes were full of vicissitudes and elegance, "The golden osmanthus bloomed at the beginning, after it rained yesterday, the eldest daughter-in-law picked it herself, and cooked this sweet-scented osmanthus cake by herself."

"Please taste it, I wonder if it can compare with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Huichun Pavilion?"

At this time, two rows of maidservants at the door were holding black lacquered wooden trays painted with gold in their hands. Inside the trays were glazed trays, and in the middle of the trays were three pieces of delicious sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in good shape.Hiring Tingting, filed in, bypassed the screen, and served the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes on the wooden plate to the female relatives sitting in the room in the order they were arranged.

Sitting next to Su Wunian was Shen Mengying, the daughter of the third wife of the Shen family.

The maid serving her sweet-scented osmanthus cake was actually Xilu.

"Xilu, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the second sister's room and take care of the second sister?" Su Wunian asked.

When Xilu heard Su Wu call out his name, he was stunned for a while, and then he helped himself up slightly, and replied respectfully: "Today, there are not enough people, and the second lady has already rested, so the maidservant was called in temporarily to help."

Xilu's explanation is also reasonable.

Zhang Zhilan smiled dignifiedly, raised her voice seemingly unintentionally, and said to the wife of the Ministry of Rites, Mrs. Jiang, "Shengge has loved the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes I made since she was a child. Now that she is married into the general's mansion, she rarely comes back. I make it." The craftsmanship of sweet-scented osmanthus cake is also quite unfamiliar."

"Shengge, try it quickly, has mother's craftsmanship deteriorated?" Zhang Zhilan looked at Su Wunian who was opposite her lovingly, and said loudly.

Mrs. Jiang, the Minister of Rites, flattered her quickly: "Looking at the delicate appearance of this sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it must be delicious."

"Madam Chu is really blessed to be able to eat such delicious osmanthus cake." She said to Su Wu again.

Su Wunian glanced at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of her with bright eyes that seemed to be gathering stars, and smiled lightly.Even if it is clear that she will tear herself apart with Zhang Zhilan, she will continue to pretend in front of everyone.

Seeing that Su Wunian didn't respond, in order to ease the embarrassment, Mrs. Jiang picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, praising her again and again: "Madam's craftsmanship is superb. If you want me to say, even the osmanthus cake that is worth a thousand dollars in Huichun Pavilion is as good as it is." Compared with the ones made by Da Furen, they are a little inferior."

The wives whose husbands were lower than Shen Pingjin were full of praise, and Mrs. Shen also laughed heartily, as if enjoying the feeling of being sought after by others.

In fact, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Zhang Zhilan tastes very ordinary.

Madam Shen naturally knew, but today she wanted to use this sweet-scented osmanthus cake to test the reactions of the ladies.

Only Zhang Zhilan, although chatting and laughing happily with his wives, still glanced over Su Wunian intentionally or unintentionally, "Sheng Ge, why don't you eat?"

"Don't worry about not having enough food. I specially kept a lot, and I told my uncle to take it back to the General's Mansion. When you leave, just remember to take it with you."

"Madam Chu really feels sorry for Mrs. Chu. She is already married and worried." Jiang said frankly.

"Although Shengge is not my own, my sister was always nice to me before she got sick. Now that she is unconscious, I naturally have to take good care of her daughter."

"It's a pity that such a good sister has a strange disease at a young age. It's really unfair." Zhang Zhilan looked at Su Wunian with pity, "The doctor said back then that my sister's strange disease may be inherited."

"I've always been worried that Sheng Ge would suddenly get sick one day, so I was extra tolerant and pampered her, and always let the sisters of the Shen family give her humility."
