Chapter 37 Birthday Banquet Guest Hanzhou Comes
Reaching out and picking up a piece of cut peach from the fruit plate, Jiang Shishu handed it over with the silver fork carved with a plum blossom in front of him, and then added a sentence.

"The elder sister is naturally praising the young lady for her good complexion."

She didn't dare to say anything else, but just continued what Jiang Shiyuan said. Jiang Shiyuan saw his cousin's wife eating a peach, and then reminded her with a smile.

"Don't eat too much. These peaches are very sweet. I asked the doctor before, and he said pregnant women should avoid eating them."

Hearing this, Jiang Shishu suddenly became anxious. The eldest young lady was pregnant with the first child of Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion. If something went wrong because of the peach in her hand, how would he explain it?

"I...I don't know, Madam, I didn't mean it."

Seeing that her face suddenly turned red due to nervousness, cousin Xiang immediately patted the back of her hand and comforted her.

"You are just listening to her nonsense. I have eaten this peach for several days without any problem. She just wants to scare you. Besides, I didn't eat much, so it's okay."

"Sister-in-law, you are wrongly accusing me. I am not talking nonsense. How about asking a doctor to come and ask him later? But don't be afraid, third sister. I want to scare sister-in-law, not you!"

Cousin-in-law Xiang knew her temper and understood what she meant when she heard it. She wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and then gave a helpless order to the maid Dan Xing beside her.

"From now on, you should send this fruit plate every half a month. Look at how strong this girl's mouth is. If I eat any more, I'm afraid she will ask her mother-in-law to come over and punish me!"

Jiang Shiyuan was naturally happy that he succeeded, and he said with a smile on his face.

"I'm doing this for my sister-in-law's sake. Eating too much sweet fruit will make you fat. It's better to have a child in moderation so that you won't suffer too much in the future."

Hearing this, the cousin-in-law Xiang looked over in surprise, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Ah Nian, how can a girl like you know all this?"

"I got all this from the doctor. This is my grandmother's beloved granddaughter, so I naturally have to pay more attention to her."

Cousin-in-law Xiang tapped Jiang Shiyuan's forehead. Although she was reluctant, she still put down the silver fork in her hand. Then she saw Danxing taking away the fruit plate.

Jiang Shiyuan continued to wave the round fan in his hand, but his eyes were filled with thoughts.

In her previous life, my cousin's wife ate too many fruits during pregnancy and raised the baby too big. It took her three days and three nights to give birth to the baby. The baby grew strong, but she had greatly depleted her energy, and she ended up with a diarrhea.

When Jiang Shiyuan passed away, although his cousin Xiang was still alive, she was also living with medicine all the time. If she could live again, she would certainly not want her cousin to go back to her old ways, so she reminded him.

"By the way, since you used peaches today, you can replace the prawn stew you usually like with stir-fried seasonal vegetables. Don't use the two together, as it can easily give you a stomachache."

Cousin-in-law Xiang listened to Jiang Shiyuan's words and nodded silently. She had heard of this before. When her mother learned that she was pregnant, she sent her a list that clearly recorded which things could not be used together, and this was one of them.

"Don't worry, Dan Xing keeps a close eye on his diet."

"That's good."

Jiang Shishu didn't understand any of this, so she could only quietly embroider the handkerchief in her hand. The style of the boy picking lotus and playing in the water was taking shape. Jiang Shiyuan was not good at this, so he could only watch and help to sort out the silk threads from time to time. The three of them sat there talking and laughing, which was a good way to pass the time.

When Madam Pei came over, she happened to hear several people talking and laughing. She was in a very good mood as she had many happy events coming her way.

"What are you talking about, so happy?"

"Mother-in-law." "Aunt."

"Jiang Shishu has met Madam Hou."

Among the three, only Jiang Shishu stood up and saluted. Seeing this, Aunt Pei didn't say much. She just raised her hand to signal her to stand up, and then she sat down next to her.

With her around, Jiang Shishu naturally had to move her seat. Pei was accustomed to her cautiousness, and after sitting down, she did not distract much attention, but asked about her own daughter-in-law.

"How are you? How are you today?"

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, everything is fine with your daughter-in-law."

"That's good. I was afraid that you were overworked because of the birthday party."

My cousin's wife Xiang smiled, knowing that her mother-in-law meant well, so she ordered some Jiang Shiyuan and then spoke.

"Isn't Ah Nian here? In fact, she helped to come up with ideas for most of the things, so everything is arranged properly. The daughter-in-law can take a break from the busy schedule. Mother-in-law, just wait and see. It will definitely be a lively occasion."

When the Marquis's wife heard this, her eyes curved. She had always loved Jiang Shiyuan very much, and now she looked at her as if she were her own daughter. She felt reluctant but also happy that she had grown up. Suddenly she remembered the news she had just received, so she looked at Jiang Shiyuan with a little mystery and said.

"Anian, someone from Hanzhou is coming."

When the Marquis's wife said this, there was some mockery in her eyes, but more of it was excitement and agitation, because the people coming from Hanzhou had only one purpose, and that was to propose marriage.

When Jiang Shiyuan first heard the news, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect it to happen so soon. She thought she had to wait for her cousin Pei to return to Hanzhou and report the situation before making further plans. But who knew that someone from Hanzhou would come!

"Aunt, do you know who are coming? When will they arrive?"

"Brother has to guard the army, so of course he can't come. The news in the letter says that my eldest sister-in-law is coming with Ziyao and Zimiao. They are Zi Su's brother and sister. You haven't seen them yet, right? But I haven't seen these two children for many years."

Pei Ziyao and Pei Zimiao.

The names of the two of them were still somewhat famous in the Pei family army in Hanzhou, but the women in the rear house knew little about them. Therefore, the three of them did not show any surprise, but the marquis' wife was more excited.

"Then will my aunt and cousins ​​stay at home? If so, I will have someone clean up Ningrong Garden."

"No need for that. Zi Su has already found a house and has asked someone to prepare it. When my sister-in-law and her family arrive, they can move in directly. We don't need to bother with anything."

"Mansion? Cousin Pei is buying a house now?"

Not to mention Jiang Shiyuan, even cousin-in-law Xiang was a little surprised. This cousin was too fast. How come the house was already prepared in just a few days, but they knew nothing about it? So they looked at Jiang Shiyuan with a teasing look on their face.

"A Nian is still the best. Isn't it for you that Cousin Pei is making such a big move? Mother-in-law, where is the house? Can we go take a look?"

"You're pregnant, so you'd better not join in the fun. When the sister-in-law and the others arrive, they will take care of it. Are you afraid that there will be no time for you to go?"

Cousin-in-law Xiang thought about it and reached out to touch her slightly bulging belly. Her motherly love instantly overflowed. Jiang Shiyuan, who was standing by, was still in a daze when he heard Mrs. Hou continue to speak.

"My eldest sister-in-law usually has a serious face, and she would like to put up a sign saying "Keep away from strangers", but don't think she is really that cold. In fact, she is the softest person, so don't be afraid, okay?"
