Chapter 154

Filial Piety

Cao Yunnian couldn't help laughing and touched Lady Jin's belly affectionately . "This is our first child . Naturally, I would love to hold him in my hands and cherish him even more . Aiyo, the child kicked me! Do you feel it, Madam? He kicked me!"

Cao Yunnian's eyes were wide open, his face was full of surprise, and he was grinning from ear to ear .

Seeing this scene, Lady Jin felt her heart soften . "This child is greeting his own father . Speaking of which, I should prepare some clothes for my child after a few days …"

"Madam, you can't tire yourself out . I remember that Concubine Zhou's needlework skills are pretty good . She usually has nothing to do, so why don't you let her prepare some?"

She smiled and nodded, a look of satisfaction flashing through her eyes . Without Concubine Wang these days, that Concubine Zhou was rather arrogant, taking advantage of this opportunity to suppress her and let her know what was called restraint . "Then, I'll send someone to tell her in two days . "

Very soon, the guests who received the invitation arrived at Cao Family's Manor one by one .

On the male guest's side, seeing that Cao Yunnian was welcoming the guests personally, they couldn't help but rejoice in their hearts . "It seems that Cao Yunnian and Lady Jin value Mu Yunyao a lot, but fortunately, they prepared a very generous gift this time . "

As for the women, it was Mu Yunyao who was welcoming the guests . Since Lady Jin was pregnant, it was understandable that her body was too heavy, and she couldn't come out to greet the guests . However, the moment Mu Yunyao stepped out, the meaning behind it was obvious .

Cao Yunnian and Lady Jin were obviously treating her as their own daughter . She was going to be the Young Miss of Cao Family . They couldn't easily offend her!

Many people were secretly sighing in their hearts . This Mu Yunyao considered having flipped over from an ordinary sparrow to a tall branch . Although it couldn't be said that she had turned into a phoenix, it could at least be called a peacock . Now, this is an opportunity that many people can't exchange for day and night .

No matter what they were thinking in their mind, no one would be stupid enough to reveal their real emotions . Hence, everyone's faces are full of joy . Everyone politely greeted Mu Yunyao and exchanged greetings before entering the hall and took their seat . After seating themselves, they looked at Mu Yunyao and secretly nodded . It was no wonder that Lady Jin thought so highly of Mu Yunyao . With just this elegant demeanor, it can't be cultivated by many people for years .

After all the female guests welcomed into Cao Family's Manor, Mu Yunyao first went up to pay her respects before retreating to the back to support Lady Jin as she walked out .

As soon as Lady Jin appeared, all the female guests stood up and saluted her one after another . After exchanging some pleasantries, they sat back down .

"Many thanks to the various madams and misses for attending today's banquet . After the ceremony ends, Yunyao will be my daughter too . I hope that everyone will take good care of her and give her some pointers in the future . "

"Congratulations, Madam . Yunyao's personality is lovable and considerate, and she's also particularly polite . Even if we wanted to guide her, we wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with it . "

"Miss Mu is indeed pleasing to behold . In the future, with Madam's meticulous upbringing, she will definitely become even more beautiful . "

Facing a string of praises, Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her head, her face slightly red with embarrassment, causing her to become more and more pitiful . Lady Jin had been holding her hand, and the intimacy between them was self-evident .

Very soon, Yin Hong entered the house and reported, "Reporting to Madam and Miss, the auspicious hour has arrived . We should go to the front courtyard . "

Lady Jin stood up and nodded slightly at the crowd . "Please come and take a look at the ceremony . "

"Alright, how can we miss this?"

Lady Jin clapped her hands towards Mu Yunyao, indicating that she should first change her clothes . Mu Yunyao then bowed and left .

In the backyard, Su Qing saw Mu Yunyao walking over and hurriedly asked, "Yao'er, how was it?" Although Lady Jin had promised, Mu Yunyao's identity was still there . She was afraid that someone would make things difficult for her when they were welcoming other guests .

"Mother, don't worry . Everything is going smoothly . It's nothing wrong . "

"That's great . Seeing that the auspicious hour has arrived, quickly change your clothes . " Su Qing looked at it for a while and felt that this red dress was the most splendid . Thus, she directly took it .

Mu Yunyao caressed the red dress she wore, her expression showing some hesitation . "Mother, even though Father had passed away a year ago, I still don't want to wear red clothes . "

Su Qing was stunned . A trace of sadness flashed across her eyes . "Although our Dali Dynasty values filial piety, our etiquette isn't strict . A year of filial piety is enough for the people . "

However, Mu Yunyao shook her head . "Even though you say that, in a large family with strict rules, it's still criticism . So, I should wear that light purple one . I think Lady Jin can understand that . "

"… Alright, then I'll listen to you . Your father knows how dutiful you are, will definitely be touched!" Mu Cheng, if you are really enlightened in heaven, please protect Yao'er and prevent her from suffering as she did in her previous life .

Mu Yunyao changed her clothes and carefully selected her jewelry . Just as she finished packing up, Si Qin came over and sent a message, "Miss, Lady Jin has sent someone to hurry you up . "

"I know . Mother, let's go now . "

In the main hall of the front courtyard, all the guests had already taken their seats . After Cao Yunnian praised Mu Yunyao, he gained another round of praise!

Just as he was about to get someone to invite Mu Yunyao up, he saw a guard hurriedly run in, "Reporting to Lord Cao, Governor Zhang and his wife have arrived . They are currently dismounting from their palanquins at the entrance . "

Cao Yunnian was overjoyed . "I'll go and welcome them . "

The expression on the faces of the guests became happier and joyful . Ordinarily, there weren't many opportunities to meet with Governor Zhang and his wife . Therefore, the guests who were attending today's banquet were unyielding .

Soon, Governor Zhang and his wife welcomed in . The crowd greeted them once more and politely salute, and after half an hour, they returned to quiet .

The governor's wife's face was filled with a warm smile as she turned to look at Lady Jin, who was on her side . "I also like that little girl Yunyao very much . She has a gentle personality and is also filial . You must be blessed . "

"Isn't it? I have been laughing in my dreams for the past two days . Since Madam has arrived at today's ceremony, I will shamelessly demand a reward from you for Yao'er . "

"Hehe, I've already prepared everything . Why would I need you to ask for it?"

"Then, I'll thank Madam on behalf of Yao'er and have her serve you tea later . "

"Then I won't be polite . "

When the auspicious hour arrived, Cao Yunnian stood up and once again thanked the guests and invited Mu Yunyao over .

The crowd couldn't help but look towards the door and saw Mu Yunyao slowly walking in with Su Qing . She wore a jade-green robe with the pattern of ancient smoke and a purple jade pattern skirt . It was obviously an extremely cold light purple color, but when it was worn on her body, it made her feel alive . As she walked, her skirt slowly moved in different styles, causing a thin layer of gauze to cover her body .
