At this time of the day, Tianshang Ju Restaurant was always full of people and everyone was so busy that as if they were floating in the air.

Little Yang was new here. Zhong Xiang firstly let him bring dishes for a few days, and then let him did something else after getting familiar with them.

At first, Little Yang still took it lightly and thought it was just serving dishes. It was too simple.

When he was truly working, he realized that this was not the same thing as serving dishes at Laifu Inn.

When the business of Laifu Inn was good, there were only six or seven tables and dozens of guests, which could be easily handled. However, here, there were thirty-eight tables in the first floor`s lobby, twenty tables on the second floor and nine large rooms on the third floor. When there were too many guests, there would even add more seats and even turning tables, dear, there would be six or seven hundred guests then.

There were only six waiters including him, and everyone had to have a good memory, so they could remember what guests had ordered, they couldn`t miss or even misremember them, not to mention serving the wrong dishes and giving the wrong names.

Little Yang was completely at a loss on the first day. Fortunately, Little Lu and A Xing helped him a lot, leaving him to take charge of only a dozen tables in the lobby. Even so, he was so tired at the end of a meal. He sighed: No wonder the wages in Tianshang Ju Restaurant were the highest among all restaurants in Jinling City. None of the workers in this room, from the chef to the doorman, were ordinary.

As soon as a table of guests ordered food, Little Yang memorized all the way to report it to the account office. The account office would write down the menu with a simple number and then hand it over to the kitchen. It was said the idea that replacing the name of dishes with numbers was invented by the second lady, which was simple and time – saving, as long as he was familiar with it, it would definitely work.

Little Yang scratched his head and was not sure whether the guest ordered Sixi dumplings or Sixi meat balls just now. He was about to going back to verify when he almost bumped into a person as he turned around.

Little Yang nodded and bowed to apologize. He raised his eyes and unexpectedly found that the person he nearly hit was a beautiful young woman with a child in her arms.

A woman brought milking baby to Tianshang Ju Restaurant for dinner? This was rare.

However, those who came were all guests. Little Yang greeted her with a smiling face: “This lady, our shop is full. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for a while. There is a table of guests over there that would be finish their meal soon.”

The woman looked pale and uncertain.

Little Yang said, “Why don’t you sit there first?”

There were also two square tables in the lobby to pass the time for waiting guests to drink tea, which were now empty.

The woman bit her teeth and suddenly shoved her child into Little Yang’s hand: “The child is ill; you are to hand over the child to your second lady quickly.”

As soon as her finished those words, she ran away without looking back.

Little Yang was completely confused. After so many years of serving dishes, it was the first time that he was given a child.

“Ah, madam, who are you?” Little Yang immediately ran up to catch her.

But the woman ran fast and disappeared in a second.

Little Yang looked at the child in his arms and began to shrivel, his face flushed bright red and he was about to cry. He was busy holding and shaking for two times and hurried to find Zhong Xiang.

In Jing’ an marquis house, Ye Jiayao had already had dinner and was discussing with You about the Mid – Autumn Festival tomorrow.

Basically, according to the usual practice in previous years, a table of good wine and good food was served, and when the moon was high, the family sat in the courtyard, eating moon cakes and drinking osmanthus wine while enjoying the moon.

You also invited Yongning marquis’wife to play leaf cards and have fun.

The question was whether Coloured glaze would come back tomorrow?

At today’s dinner table, Chunfeng spoke few words and everyone knew what he wanted to say, but no one spoke, Chunfeng did not say in the end.

You was determined this time. If she hadn’t had the queen mother’s uproar, she didn’t want to pursue the matter anymore. The family was still a family, but the queen mother said so harshly that she scolded them indiscriminately. When the princess’s mother-in-law was so timid, she was really angry, so this time she would stay still this time and wouldn’t pick up the Coloured glaze or ask her to come back. If you love to come back, you would come back, if not, she doesn`t care, and everyone would be at ease.

You was such an attitude. Ye Jiayao naturally supported it, not to mention, not to ask, but to let her arrange tomorrow’s family dinner.

Xiangtao came in, looking a little flustered, and could not say it in front of the lady.

You said, “If you have anything else to say, go back then! Tomorrow you will have a lot of things to do.”

Ye Jiayao got up and bowed down.

Out of the door, Ye Jiayao asked, “What`s wrong?”

Xiangtao said, “A baby was sent to Tianshang Ju Restaurant and he has been crying all the time. No one knows what to do. Heir-son Lord hasn’t come back yet.”

Xia Chunyu went to the office. She heard that Wei’family was searched and confiscated the property by the government this morning, and all the maids were taken away by the government and would be auctioned afterward. Ye Jiayao promised to return A Lian’s freedom, so Xia Chunyu was asked to bring her back.

Ye Jiayao frowned: “A baby?”

“Yes, a small baby. People in Tianshang Ju said that a woman left her child in the restaurant and ran away, saying that the child was ill and asked to send him to you.”

Qiao Xi wondered, “Who, so simpleton, won`t her send her child to the doctor? Why give it to second lady, she is not her big momma.”

Ye Jiayao guessed who she was. Who else could did it besides Ye Jinrong? Government searched Wei’s house, Ye Jinrong was desperate! Even can`t support a child.

She was in a relief. She didn’t care once she threw the baby to her. Did she want her to help her raises the baby? A poisonous woman, let her came to raises a child of a rotten man? What an annoying thing.

However, the child was innocent; it was unlucky to be born in such family.

“Xiangtao, you’ll call a doctor right away.” Ye Jiayao said primly, taking Qiao Xi to the yard.

She couldn’t let anything happen to this child, if not, Ye Jinrong would blame it to her, said she killed her child.

Shit, why so many stupid things?

Before Ye Jiayao entered the courtyard, she heard the cry of the children inside. The cry was so piercing that the sound stuck in the throat for half a day and could not be heard, causing people to fear that the children would suffocate.

Yingtao was about to cry when she saw her second lady coming back.

“Second lady, I can’t coax the child …”Yingtao had a flat mouth and a sad face.

Ye Jiayao quickly carried the baby over and waved as she walked, touching the child’s forehead with her hand. She really had a fever.

If she remembers correctly, the child’s nickname should be Bao, Jinyao mentioned.

This niece, since she was born, was the first time she saw her.

Less than two months old, waving small hands with closed eyes and crying hard, the skin was tender and almost transparent, and the red face could see tiny blood vessels.

Ye Jiayao’s coaxing didn’t work for a while. She was really afraid the child would cry out, so she had to ask Qiao Xi to call Zhou Xing’s family.

There was no old man who had raised children in her yard. Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang went to the village.

Zhou Xing’s family soon came and asked about the situation. She touched her finger on Bao’s mouth. Bao stopped crying and cocked her mouth to suck her finger. Zhou Xing’s family relieved and said with a smile, “The baby is hungry.”

“Second lady, you should get her some honey water first. Don’t be too sweet, just a little sweet. I`ll get a bowl of rice paste.”

Qiao Xi went to soak up honey water.

Ye Jiayao held it and fed it to Bao bit by bit with a small spoon.

Bao was obviously hungry, blinking her mouth, drinking intently and making slurping noises from time to time.

Tears were still on her face. Her dark eyes were full of grievances and she looked at Ye Jiayao so lovely.

Ye Jiayao was deeply distressed by the expression in her eyes, her heart was melted, her mother’s love flooded, what a poor child, how long hadn`t your mother given you food?

Qiao Xi looked aside, her eyes were also very gentle, and she said softly, “Madam, this child is really good – looking, her eyebrows were thin and light, her eyes were big and round, and her mouth is so powerful. She is really beautiful and clever.”

Ye Jiayao smiled, she was indeed a beautiful child!

Ye Jiayao stopped feeding after feeding a few spoons of honey water. Zhou Xing’s family had already gone to make rice paste. Couldn`t let her full before the rice paste was made. If she doesn`t eat rice paste, she would get hungry again after a bubble of urine.

Bao thought she would not eat any more. She was still hungry and her mouth began to shrivel again. Tears in her big eyes were rolling down one by one.

Ye Jiayao’s soft speech coaxed: “Bao is good, aunt don’t give you food. You should bear it first. Later aunt would give you good food …”

Qiao Xi froze and thought carefully, then understood that this was second miss Ye’s child. No wonder Ye Jinrong would throw the child in the Tianshang Ju Restaurant.

After knowing Bao’s life, Qiao Xi felt more and more sorry to Bao. How could she stand on such a pair of parents?

“Here comes the rice paste.” Zhou Xing’s family ran and cried before entering the door.

After all, Zhou Xing’s child-holding posture was much more pleasing to the eye, and Bao was also very clever in her arms, eating rice paste in a big gulp.

“The child was really clever, and she has a good appetite. If she can’t eat it, that`s real trouble,” Zhou Xing’s family said.

Ye Jiayao remembered the doctor and looked at the door, mumbling, ” Why does it take so long for Xiangtao to get a doctor?”

Qiao Xi knew that second lady was worried about Bao and comforted her, “It would take a fragrant time to walk to the nearest medicine hall. She should be back soon!”

Xia Chunyu came back with A Lian and came to the door with Xiangtao and the doctor.

“Xiangtao, what’s the matter? Who is ill?”

Xiangtao, still unaware of Bao’s life, said gloomily, “Heir-son Lord, today a woman left her child in the Tianshang Ju, and she was still ill. Second lady asked me to invite a doctor to see her.”

A Lian asked, “How old is the child? Is he a boy or girl?”

Xiangtao gesticulated about the size and said not clearly: “It’s about this big. I don’t know about boys and girls. I haven’t seen it.”

Xia Chunyu frowned. It was really weird, he heard those who can`t afford a child would leave him at someone`s door, but it was the first time that he heard someone would leave child in the restaurant.
