Chapter 211 He Yuejiao's sister, He Yunshuang, is pregnant.
It is worth mentioning that at the banquet celebrating Madam Meng's 69th birthday, the most outstanding dish in the end was the peaches and several other fruits presented by Meng Di.
The originally large, round, and plump peaches were transformed into a divine longevity peach specially selected for her grandmother's birthday by Meng Di's vivid description.
These peaches already looked delicious, and with Mengdi's enthusiastic praise, the grandmother loved them even more, repeatedly commending her grandson for being filial.
Mengdi insisted that his grandmother taste the peach. Although his grandmother was already full, she could not resist his insistence and took a small bite.
As a result, this small bite greatly amazed Madam Meng.
She had many children and grandchildren throughout her life, and her grandchildren were also very filial. She had tasted all kinds of fruit, but none of them could compare to the longevity peach in front of her.
The taste of this peach is indeed as my grandson described; it can be called a divine delicacy!
"Di'er is such a filial and good child. He always thinks of his grandmother when there's something delicious to eat. This longevity peach is the most beloved gift Grandma received today. Your grandson is so thoughtful!"
Madam Meng couldn't resist eating the whole peach, and felt her mind become clearer.
After the maids helped her wash her hands, she took Meng Di's hand and praised him highly in front of everyone in the Meng household.
This was the first time Mengdi had received such high praise from her grandmother.
In the past, the grandmother only had eyes for her eldest brother, Meng Buyi, who was to inherit the family business, and had never praised her spoiled grandson like this.
This stirred a sense of emotion within Meng Di.
"Grandma, I've also carefully selected many other fruits and specialty drinks. Would you mind bringing them over now so we can share this joy with the whole family?"
Mengdi suddenly remembered that, in addition to the amazing peaches, he had also prepared a series of delicious fruits and teas.
He had just given each of the children a cup, and the rest were still safely stored in the takeout bag, still fresh.
This time, he plans to take this opportunity to share these delicious foods with everyone!
"Di'er is becoming more and more sensible. Your grandmother has felt your good intentions. You are truly very thoughtful."
"Alright, then hurry up and fetch the fruits and drinks so your aunts, uncles, and younger siblings can all have a taste."
Grandmother gently patted Mengdi's hand, her expression full of relief and encouragement.
Meng Di was overjoyed to receive her grandmother's praise and approval.
He replied with a "Okay!" and excitedly ran to the backyard to fetch the rest of the takeout.
The aunts, uncles, and other relatives were initially skeptical of the novel and strange drinks and waved their hands in refusal.
Only a few curious individuals, with a somewhat experimental mindset, picked up a cup and began to taste it.
However, after tasting them, they were all pleasantly surprised and praised the drinks as extremely delicious, making those who had just refused regret their hasty decision...
The little ones who had already tasted a cup were even more excited, urging their mothers to quickly fetch another cup, completely disregarding the fact that they had already drunk from it.
As a result, of the twenty-five cups of tea that Meng Di ordered, aside from the ones he and his younger siblings had already secretly tasted, the remaining dozen or so cups were quickly devoured.
Everyone who tried it praised it highly, saying that the drinks Meng Di chose tasted excellent, and they also gave Meng Di herself a lot of compliments, their words full of admiration.
This chance encounter with a food delivery order made Meng Di shine at the Meng family's old residence, earning her unprecedented praise and attention.
The Meng family's birthday banquet concluded successfully amidst laughter and joy, and Meng Di experienced his first moment of thunderous applause, becoming the focus of the entire event...
Meanwhile, the He family was busy with a joyous occasion.
These past two days, He Yuejiao has been unable to visit the "Fairyland" she has been longing for, because her sister He Yunshuang recently brought her good news.
He Yunshuang married into the Tang family at the beginning of this year, happily tying the knot with Tang Ling, the eldest son of the Tang family, thus creating a beautiful marriage.
The Tang and He families had a long-standing friendship. Master He and Master Tang were close friends when they were young, and the two families often visited each other.
Madam He and Madam Tang hit it off immediately and became close friends.
Later, both families had sons, but each had its own shortcomings: the He family had only daughters, while the Tang family had only sons, and they often envied each other.
The children grew up together, were childhood sweethearts, and had a deep bond.
Although Mrs. He and Mrs. Tang had jokingly said they wanted to arrange a marriage between their children, it was just talk.
Unexpectedly, the children from both families really hit it off. Tang Ling, the eldest son of the Tang family, had been infatuated with He Yunshuang, the eldest daughter of the He family, since childhood.
When Tang Ling was a child, he met the quiet and gentle Yun Shuang for the first time while playing in the snow alone at the mansion.
Although Yunshuang didn't talk to him much, she accompanied him in building a snowman, a scene that was deeply imprinted in his heart.
Tang Ling kept these feelings to herself until she grew up and reached marriageable age before revealing them to her mother.
Tang Hanlin, the master of the Tang family, is a fifth-rank official in the current court. As Tang Ling reached marriageable age, matchmakers came to the Tang family in an endless stream to propose marriage.
Madam Tang told Tang Ling about this matter, wanting to hear his thoughts.
This time, Tang Ling finally revealed his secret to his mother.
When Madam Tang heard that her son's beloved was Yun Shuang, whom she had adored since childhood, she was overjoyed and couldn't wait to take him to the He family to propose marriage.
Tang Ling was too shy to go and stayed at the mansion, so Madam Tang had no choice but to go to the He mansion alone to inquire.
Madam He was also very pleased to learn of this, feeling that Tang Ling was of good character and she was very satisfied with him.
So she told Madam Tang to go back first and ask Shuang'er for her opinion before making a decision.
Unexpectedly, this question actually led to the conclusion of the matter!
He Yunshuang had long harbored feelings for the gentle and refined Tang Ling, so when she heard that Tang Ling also had such feelings for her, the girl's shy and budding affection was immediately impossible to hide.
Upon hearing the news, Madam He was overjoyed and immediately ran out of the mansion to the Tang residence to share the good news.
Seeing that the good thing was about to happen, the two best friends joined forces to push things forward, and soon the two families naturally became related by marriage.
The Tang family has residences in both the capital and Anzhou. To make it easier to pick up the bride, Tang Ling and He Yunshuang's wedding was held at the old Tang family mansion in Heshun Town.
After the marriage, He Yunshuang moved to the Tang residence in Beijing with her husband's family.
Recently, Madam Tang wrote to say that Yunshuang is pregnant, but she is weak and cannot get used to the food in the capital, and is suffering from morning sickness every day.
Madam Tang and Tang Ling were too busy to take good care of Yun Shuang, so they decided to take her back to the old house to rest during her pregnancy.
Tang Hanlin was unable to accompany the emperor to court, so he remained in the capital.
Considering that He Yunshuang's family home is also close by in Heshun Town, Madam Tang would have no objection if she wanted to go back to take care of her pregnancy, as long as Shuang'er's body felt better.
Tang Ling, her husband, was also a gentle and considerate man who took great care of his wife. However, he could not share the pain of her pregnancy, so he could only coax her to eat a little something every day.
However, as her morning sickness worsened, He Yunshuang felt nauseous every day and had no appetite, which worried her husband and mother-in-law greatly.
They immediately packed their bags and traveled by horse-drawn carriage back to Anzhou over several days.
After traveling for several days, we finally returned to the Tang family residence in Heshun Town.
That same day, Madam He took Jiaojiao to visit Shuang'er.
Seeing her daughter so thin now, Mrs. He felt terrible.
She remembered that her Shuang'er had always been gentle and quiet since childhood, unlike Jiao Jiao who was lively and active. She never expected that pregnancy would cause her so much suffering...
Seeing her sister so unwell, He Yuejiao felt bad too.
Therefore, she did not go out for sightseeing in the past two days, but instead accompanied her mother to the Tang residence to keep her sister company starting yesterday.
It wasn't until today, when the notification sound of the bracelet suddenly rang, that He Yuejiao suddenly realized what was going on and slapped her forehead, remembering the delicious food in the [Fairyland]!
Oh right, why didn't she think of that sooner and go to [Fairyland] to pack some food that her sister could eat and bring it back for her to try?
Sigh, her brain must have become rusty and stupid from not being used for too long...
