After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!
Chapter 71 Banquet
"Grandma, let me put it on for you." Shen Qingyin always had a smile on her face.
The old lady stood up tremblingly, her face pale.
It’s the Bodhisattva again… The Bodhisattva has come… The Bodhisattva has come again…
This is to punish her...
When Shen Qingyin put the jade pendant on the old lady's chest, there was a burst of praise in the hall.
"The gift from the Emperor is indeed extraordinary. The old lady looks different immediately after she puts it on."
"Of course not. This is not something that ordinary people can wear. The old lady is very lucky..."
The old lady listened to the praises without a trace of joy.
She really wanted to tear this thing off and throw it on the ground, preferably into ten thousand pieces!
But, it's a gift from the Emperor, so I can't drop it, right? It would be fatal if I dropped it, right?
The hall was filled with endless voices of praise, and gradually the old lady could no longer hear a word.
All that could be heard was the sound of her heartbeat, thump...thump...getting louder and louder...
"Oh no, the old lady fainted!"
As everyone watched, the old lady fell to the ground in front of them.
Mrs. Du, who had just entered the room, was stunned.
After a pause, he immediately ordered: "Quick, send the old lady back to her room, and ask a doctor to come over."
Someone agreed to ask for a doctor.
Several servants hurriedly carried the old lady to the backyard.
Shen Zhinian, who was originally welcoming guests at the door, heard that the old lady had fainted, so he stumbled straight to the old lady's yard, perfectly portraying the image of a filial son.
Shen Qingyin was about to go, but was stopped by Shen Rongyue: "Second sister, my father has already gone to my grandmother's place. There are many guests today, so it's better for you and I to help mother entertain the guests."
Everyone in the hall had indeed already panicked, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
They were here to celebrate the birthday, but the birthday boy collapsed on the spot. Should the party continue?
Mrs. Du smiled awkwardly at everyone, not knowing what to do next.
It is almost noon now and the banquet was supposed to start soon. Should everyone stay and eat, or not?
If I eat it, what if something happens to the old lady, or even she dies... The old lady's condition has not been very good recently...
Then the Shen family will be scolded to death...
But if we let everyone go and the old lady is fine, won’t today’s plan be ruined?
Mrs. Du subconsciously looked at Shen Rongyue.
Shen Rongyue had pulled Qin Yueze to a corner to whisper without knowing when. Feeling Du's gaze, she looked up and said:
"Don't panic, everyone. Grandmother is in good health and nothing is wrong with her. I think she fainted today because she was too excited. It must be nothing serious..."
Mrs. Du immediately understood Shen Rongyue's intention.
This means that no matter what the old lady does, we must proceed according to the original plan...
Mrs. Du made up her mind and called everyone, "Please take a seat, please take a seat. The banquet will start later. The old lady will arrange someone to take care of everything."
Everyone, for the sake of saving face, began to sit down one after another.
But after all, I felt a little uneasy.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was very strange.
Mrs. Du was helpless and winked at Mrs. Zhang: "Go and see how the old lady is doing now?"
Mother Zhang understood what Mrs. Du meant and agreed to go to the backyard.
After a while, he came back and said, "Don't worry, everyone. The old lady has woken up, but she is still a little weak and needs to rest for a while."
After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, even Shen Zhinian came back from the backyard and said that the old lady was resting.
The hall gradually returned to its previous liveliness.
Some guests who had not yet taken their seats took their seats one after another.
Shen Qingyin also went to sit down, only to find that on the female guests' side, only the seat between Mrs. Du and Shen Rongyue was empty.
Shen Qingyin was stunned.
"Come and sit down, second sister." In front of everyone, Shen Rongyue showed unprecedented enthusiasm towards Shen Qingyin.
Shen Qingyin walked over and sat down.
Mrs. Du announced the start of the banquet, and the servants quickly filled the table with wine and food.
For a while, everyone was eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
"Second sister, how about we sisters have a drink together?" Shen Rongyue raised the glass in her hand.
Shen Rongyue's behavior today is indeed different from the past.
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Even Fan'er standing behind Shen Qingyin could see that something was wrong with Shen Rongyue, not to mention Shen Qingyin.
Shen Qingyin smiled and declined, "No, the scar on my leg has not yet completely healed, and Doctor Feng specifically told me not to drink."
With the miracle doctor's words as a shield, Shen Rongyue really couldn't say anything else.
"Well, that's fine. Then sister, just eat more food." Shen Rongyue picked up the wine glass awkwardly and drank it herself.
In the side rooms next to the main hall, a group of servants were eating and drinking.
Except for Shen Qingyin's close friend, Yun Wei, Yun Chan, and the few people that the lady later asked Shen Qingyin to bring with him, were all in the side room.
They originally wanted to stay with Shen Qingyin, but the banquet was full of guests and there was really no place for them.
Besides, the servants brought by other guests did not enter the main hall, but sat in several side rooms.
Including the maids and old women around Shen Rongyue, even Shen Rongyue's personal bodyguard Yin Xin was there, staying in the same room with them.
If they insisted on following him, Shen Qingyin would only become the target of gossip.
Fortunately, this side room was right next to the main hall, and Yun Wei and Yun Chan were sitting in a position where they could see the door of the main hall. If there was any movement, they could go over at any time.
"Today is the old lady's 60th birthday. Our master and mistress are very happy and have specially ordered that there be plenty of wine and meat! The weather is cold, so everyone should have some wine to warm up their bodies!" Halfway through the meal, Aunt Zhang, who was beside Mrs. Du, came in to persuade them to drink.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mom Zhang." Yinxin picked up the wine glass and took the lead in drinking it.
The rest of the servants also raised their glasses.
Only Yun Wei and Yun Chan sat still.
Not only did they not drink alcohol, they didn't even eat a single bite of the food.
This is the rule they have developed over the years.
They came to protect their master's safety, not to eat and drink.
"You all should have a drink too. The wine we have today is the apricot blossom wine brought back by Prince Qin and the eldest lady. It is a rare good wine. Even the masters in the main hall drink this. Come and try it!" Mother Zhang walked up to the few people with a wine pot and enthusiastically urged them to drink.
"Hmm, it really has the scent of apricot blossoms. It tastes delicious." Yin Xin exclaimed as she tasted the wine.
Yun Wei glanced at the wine jug and said calmly, "No."
No matter how hard Mrs. Zhang tried, there were only these two words.
"Well, well, you guys can't go hungry, so eat something." Mother Zhang said helplessly.
"Don't worry." Yun Wei uttered another four words.
After saying that, he walked to the water tank in the corner of the room, scooped a ladle of clean water from the tank, poured it into the cups in front of several people, and several people drank it.
Looking at the astonished eyes of Zhang's mother and the others, he explained with two words: "habit."
In the main hall, Shen Qingyin noticed that Shen Rongyue's attempt to persuade him to drink was unusual, so he just ate a few bites of the food. The food was for everyone to eat, so Shen Rongyue would not do anything to trick him.
But who would have thought that halfway through the banquet, Shen Qingyin began to feel a little unwell.
