Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Begging for Qiao Festival

Translator: 549690339

Xiao Baoxin rushed to the main courtyard only to replace that Madam Xie had not returned, so he turned around and went to the main courtyard.

When he arrived at the main courtyard, he saw Madam Xie busy taking care of him. Only then did he know that giving birth was a huge mess. After that, there were many other matters to arrange. It was never as simple as he imagined.

Madam Xie kept saying that she didn’t like Madam Cai, but she had done what she could.

From the care of the Cai family during the confinement period, to the intake of meals, to the rotation of the nanny, to the small rewards based on merit, to the arrangements of the doctors and midwives, they had to be arranged one by one.

“Why are you here again?” Madam Xie was puzzled. Her daughter was not a clingy person, and she did not have such a deep relationship with Madam Cai. Could it be that she was looking for her for something?

He waved the servant away and took a sip of tea before asking,”Do you have something to say?”

This question stumped Xiao Baoxin.

She had been too agitated by Xiao Jing ‘ai and only wanted to save Cai shi’s life.

She wasn’t like Xiao Jing ‘ai, who could watch someone die and do nothing.

Mrs. Cai was usually aloof and pretentious. Her eyes were on the top of her head, but it was a living human life after all. She could not pretend not to know even if she knew.

However, he had not thought of how to tell Madam Xie.

“I just thought that sister-in-law’s age this time is not the same as her first child.”Xiao Baoxin pondered as he said,” Let’s keep the old woman for now. She has experienced a lot, so she must know a lot about the confinement period. Let her and the doctor take good care of her for another month. No matter what, she should be able to take good care of sister-in-law.””

Madam Xie could not help but laugh.

“You think too much. Do I still need you to tell me this? I’ve been in charge for so many years. If 1 don’t understand this, it’ll be over. However, you have this kind heart. No matter who it was, there would always be good karma.”

Xiao Baoxin almost asked,”Mom, have you been reading too many Buddhist scriptures recently?”

She had always done things without caring whether there was a blessing or not. She just had a clear conscience.

However, her mother had also made quite a thorough arrangement. How could she have lost her life because she had not finished her confinement?

Suspicious, Xiao Baoxin took care of Madam Cai from time to time during her confinement, which warmed Madam Cai’s heart.

The Cai family was too ruthless. Madam Xie had sent a letter to the Cai family, but the Cai family did not even send anyone over. It was as if they did not have any relatives. The Cai family had suddenly been reduced from a large family to a ducduckweed without any support. Fortunately, Madam Xie was still the same as before. She was not particularly friendly or harsh.

Xiao Baoshan had also been dismissed from his post, so he didn’t have much confidence. The husband and wife were the same, so they didn’t dare to do anything.

However, Xiao Baoxin showed his concern and came over to visit her in two or three days. He also invited a famous gynecologist from Jiankang City to treat Cai Shi’s illness and really found a hidden illness.

Although Xiao Baoxin didn’t know if it was the main cause of Cai shi’s death, but at least there was some progress. Cai shi didn’t dare to neglect this, and sent many supplements one after another.

This action caused Madam Cai to not sleep well for several nights. In the end, she couldn’t help but reflect on herself with Xiao Baoshan in bed. In the past, she had indeed been arrogant. Now that she was in such a situation, she finally showed her sister-in-law’s kindness. She was actually closer to her than before.

“Don’t be too estranged from your stepmother and stepsister. After all, your mother died first, so it has nothing to do with your stepmother and stepsister. They were all good people. They were all family. Even if their bones were broken, they still had to be family at the critical moment.”He even persuaded Xiao Baoshan.

Xiao Baoshan was speechless when he heard that. In the end, he only let out a long sigh.

Xiao Baoxin naturally did not know that the husband and wife were chatting at night. After Princess Xuancheng sent out the invitation, there was no further news. It was probably because the palace rules did not allow this, so she pretended that there was no such thing.

Xie Wan was the first to post and invite her to the Xie residence as a guest.

“Wifey, do you want to go?” Cai Wei asked curiously. Previously, in order to prevent Seventh Lady Xie’s reputation from being affected, Niangzi had been restraining herself from sending out invitations, but she didn’t know what Niangzi’s plans were for Seventh Lady Xie’s invitation.

It was July, and the weather was the hottest in Jiankang. Fortunately, the Xiao family had dug a well and hidden a lot of ice below, enough for summer use.

Xiao Baoxin held the Mountain River Annals in his hands to pass the time. There wasn’t even a drop of sweat on the tip of his nose. He felt very uncomfortable.

“Of course I have to go.”

It was understandable for her to take into account that she had brought trouble to Xie Qiniang. She didn’t care about it and sent her a thread first. If she didn’t care, it was obvious that she didn’t want to befriend her.

Even for Xie Xian, he had to go.

Moreover, Xie Wan’s personality and appearance were all in Xiao Baoxin’s eyes. In her eyes, a true noble daughter of an aristocratic family should be like Xie Wan, dignified and prudent, with the strength of character and the courage to say no. Instead of secretly gossiping and playing some low-level group ostracizing, it would seem narrow-minded and narrow-minded.

“Eh, it just so happens that it was Qixi.”Cai Wei pointed at the thread and said in surprise.

Was there some kind of meaning behind this?

Xiao Baoxin finally raised his eyelids. There were still three days, and he had enough time to prepare.

There was a tradition of Qixi in the Daliang Dynasty, and it was becoming more and more popular. On this day, girls would visit their close friends, worship the Weaver Girl, and pray for blessings.

On this day, Xie Wan Yue clearly treated her as a close friend. Xiao Baoxin’s interest was suddenly piqued and he personally prepared for the ceremony.

It was not until he went to the Xie residence and saw the things that Xie Wan had already prepared that Xiao Baoxin realized that he had done something unnecessary. He had seen a great wizard in the small house. There were needles, threads, fruits, and even a few boxes of happy spiders that weaved webs on the fruits.

“Lady Xiao, don’t laugh at me. Seventh Madame is always on guard against a formidable enemy during the Qixi Festival every year.”

“Fifteen Niang, it’s easy for you to talk. You’re so clever that you can’t understand the pain of us clumsy people. You can embroider a wild duck for two months, and even the auspicious patterns are embroidered into plaid strips. If you can’t do it, you can only pray to the heavens to bless us with your dexterity.”

The person who came out with Xie Wan to welcome the guests was a taller and hearty Fifteen Niang, who was from the Wang family’s side branch, the Crown Prince’s Scheeren, Wang Daozhen’s Empress Qiang.

She was the fourth daughter of Chu Huairen, the governor of Yuzhou. She was the sixth daughter and her name was Chu Lingzi.

Looking at their smiles and smiles, one could tell that they often played together. Was this what Xie Xian had said about ‘being aloof and aloof, and rarely having a close friend’?

It was indeed difficult to get along with one.

If he said that he had no other thoughts about her, wouldn’t it make her seem too dull and unromantic?

“Lady Xiao, I’ve long heard of your name.”Wang Qiang was slightly older, so he was more steady.

Chu Lingzi had a round face, round eyes, and a small mouth. She looked cheerful and lively as she winked at Xiao Baoxin.

The noble ladies of the aristocratic families rarely interacted with the common people. Even if they met at the royal banquet, they would only nod their heads. If Xie Wan had not invited them, they would not have been able to get along with these three girls with different styles..
