Chapter 695 - 340 Dowry_1
Qian Yiyuan, the little friend, was born at the wealthiest time for the Qian family, and his full moon feast was extraordinarily lively.
Not only did relatives like the Liang Family, the Wan family, and the Cui family attend, but also friends from the Prince Shou Mansion, the Fu family, and the Eldest Princess Mansion, almost half of the distinguished families in Capital City came to offer their congratulations.
Zhu Sujin had already begun his studies at the Imperial Court, but he still took the day off to come and congratulate the Qian family.
Qian Sangui and Qian Manjiang entertained the male guests in the outer court, where over a dozen tables were set. Lady Wu, Pan Yue, and Qian Yixiu entertained the female guests in the inner court, where there were more than twenty tables. Not only had the mistresses and grandmothers of those families arrived, but many unmarried young ladies as well.
The Liang family sent the most people: Old Duke Liang, Duke Liang, and Liang Jinzhao all attended. From the women’s side, Madam Liang led Second Grandma Zhang, the eldest daughter Liang Jinyu, and the second daughter Liang Jinjing. Grandma Liang, Cui, because someone in her maternal family had passed away less than a year ago, it was not proper for her to attend celebrations. The Pan family did the same, delivering their gifts the day before and not attending today.
Little Qian Yiyuan, wrapped up like a small red chili, was naturally beautiful, and after being shown around, he received countless praises. Pan Yue had become much plumper than before, her moon-like face overflowing with smiles, devoid of her usual reserved demeanor. Such a young mother didn’t resemble an ethereal fairy but rather a blissful little housewife. Qian Yixiu liked her mother this way better, for such a mother was truly the happiest.
Before dinner, Qian Manjiang suddenly sent someone to the inner court, asking Pan Yue and others to bring the child to the outer court to receive the imperial decree. It turned out that gifts had been sent by the Grand Empress Dowager from Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager from Cian Palace, as well as Consort Yang and Consort Zhao.
Everyone envied and praised the family once again.
Even Qian Yixiu felt the scene was as splendid as a fierce fire frying oil, flowers blooming on tapestry.
After the guests had been sent off, and the Qian family returned to tranquility, tired Old man Qian went back to his courtyard while Qian Sangui and Lady Wu took their children and grandchildren back to the main house. Qian Manxia, who was pregnant again, did not leave but went to the main house with Wan Dazhong and their two children.
