This Jing'er is quite obedient, his big eyes are looking around all the time."
The women who were gathered around looked over and saw that it was indeed the case.
Mrs. Bai was also very happy when she saw Xu Zaijing in the wet nurse's arms. After all, he was a delicate and beautiful baby with bright eyes.
Xu Zaijing also saw a young woman in obviously more luxurious clothes talking to her mother. Her features were somewhat similar to those of Zhao Liying, a female star in her previous life. Dimples appeared on her face as she laughed and talked.
The whole person's temperament is gentle and beautiful.
In this strange world, there is such a person who has a little connection with his previous life, which makes Xu Zaijing feel close to him.
“Ah~”
Xu Zaijing called out to the young woman.
This sound made the women around laugh.
When the nanny was holding Bai, Xu Zaijing smiled and stretched out his short hands, calling out to Bai again,
The two little short legs kicked a few times in the nanny's arms.
“Ahh~”
This action amused the noble ladies and their wives around him, and they started laughing again.
"This Jing'er only looks at people's clothes and not their faces." Mrs. Wu said with a smile.
This sentence made the women in the yard laugh.
"Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Sun's clothes are indeed somewhat similar in color, both are bamboo green."
The wet nurse wanted to continue carrying Xu Zaijing forward, but he struggled and reached out to Bai.
"Oh, this Jing brother is really energetic."
Bai looked at Sun, who looked surprised, and said softly with a smile, "Sister, can I hold you for a moment?"
"Of course, this kid doesn't act like this in the backyard." Sun said with a smile.
Bai took Xu Zaijing from the nanny's hands, looked into his dark eyes, and said with a smile, "Jing'er?"
“Ah~”
"Brother Jing?"
“Ah~”
Mother Chang was also delighted to see this and said to Madam Sun, "Madam, Jing'er seems to like us. Oh, these dimples."
As he spoke, Xu Zaijing's little hands had already climbed up to Bai's face, and his little mouth was about to touch it.
"Oh, my dear, my daughter has put a lot of powder on her face."
Mother Chang was talking.
The women laughed again.
Bai had a pretty face. Although she was dressed up, her face was not covered with powder as Chang Mama said.
Bai looked at Xu Zaijing, who had big eyes, dimples, and a clean and tender face. She was overjoyed and swiftly took off a jade bracelet of excellent quality from her wrist. She said, "Little Jing, keep it for your wife in the future."
When Sun saw it, she hurriedly said, "Madam, this is too precious."
The other officials' wives also looked surprised and envious.
This jade bracelet is made of excellent quality jade, and is engraved with auspicious words of fortune and longevity, and the engravings are filled with gold to fit tightly.
It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's priceless, but it can't be bought without a few thousand taels of silver.
But the bracelet was already in Xu Zaijing's hand.
Bai smiled and said, "This is not a first birthday gift for Jing'er. I gave it to him. Don't refuse it, sister."
"Well, thank you, madam." Sun stood up and bowed.
"Sister, don't be polite. Little Jing brother~"
“Ah~”
Mrs. Wu on the side said briskly: "This little Jing brother is still a little money-grubber."
"Ha ha ha ha"
The women all covered their mouths with their handkerchiefs and laughed.
"Madam, the banquet is ready, we can start eating." said the maid Xiaoju.
"Okay, sisters, let's go and take a seat."
The wet nurse quickly reached out and took Xu Zaijing from Bai's hands.
Bai smiled and waved to Xu Zaijing in the nurse's arms.
"Brother Jing, I'm leaving."
Xu Zaijing looked at her and exclaimed twice.
This caused another round of laughter.
Everyone stood up and went to the table.
During the banquet, the six sisters-in-law from Sun's family did not sit at the same table with Bai.
During the banquet, Mrs. Wu spoke briskly and humorously, and the military officers' families were not restrained at all, with laughter emanating from time to time.
The sun sets.
It's already afternoon.
The first birthday banquet of the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion was enjoyed by all the guests and hosts. In the afternoon, when the family members had finished their tea, they left one after another.
Mrs. Wu took Sun's hand and said, "Sister, come play polo in my paddock when you have time. I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Okay, sister, I have to take care of the child. Also, thank you for your hard work today."
"Hey, why are you saying that? I think your brother Jing is really a smart guy. He just gets close to the best-looking and richest people."
Mrs. Bai was waiting for Mrs. Wu to say goodbye. She glanced at Mrs. Chang beside her and smiled.
Mrs. Wu got on her own carriage.
Watching the carriage of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion leaving, the carriage of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion arrived at the door. Sun took Bai's hand with some apology.
"Sister, Jing'er, that brat, has cost you a lot of money today."
"Madam, please stop saying that. My wife is happy today."
Sun could hear the genuine joy in Chang Mama's words.
Bai smiled and said gently, "Sister, I just hope you won't spoil the fun."
Sun understood that Bai meant that she should not be unhappy because her son liked a woman from a business family. She looked at Bai sincerely and said
"Sister, please don't take everything to heart. My family is a military family, and many things in our mansion have been talked about behind our backs countless times. I understand that you can come in person."
Bai shook Sun's hands vigorously, knowing that she had made a friend.
"Sister, I will go back home then."
Only after watching the carriage disappear from her sight did Sun return home accompanied by her maid.
In the carriage, Nanny Chang withdrew her gaze.
"Miss, this Madam Sun is not someone who plays with pretense."
"Well, I am also very happy about this banquet."
"This Jing'er and my lady are truly destined to be together."
Hearing this, Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Really? This Jing'er must have mistaken me for Sister Sun. After all, Sister Sun and I are wearing similar-colored clothes."
Seeing the thoughtful look on Chang Mama's face, Bai smiled and said, "Such a young child, he will do whatever anyone tells him to do, especially when he is in the wet nurse's arms."
"Yes, when Ye'er was in the nanny's arms, he would ignore everyone unless you called him."
"Let the carriage go faster. I miss Yu'er and Ye'er."
"Yes, girl."
"Alas, my motherless child, whenever I see Yu Ge'er I think of the days when my mother passed away."
"Good girl, don't let your imagination run wild. You already have Brother Ye, and you will have many brothers and sisters in the future."
Time flies.
Xu Zaijing has been in this world for three years.
As a child who had just learned to walk, Xu Zaijing had a very small range of activities, and the few times he went out were mostly in a carriage.
I have been to my grandmother's house in Bian Jing and was carried by my mother to attend several banquets.
During the holidays, my cheap father Xu Minghua would sometimes come back, sometimes with gifts. At the same time, he was promoted from a deputy to a general with real power.
