Chapter 129: A Grand Full Moon Banquet!

Jiang Jiaojiao feared this news would affect Su Ruan's confinement.

Su Ruan had already finished feeding An'an milk, and was gently patting her back to lull her to sleep.

Hearing Jiang Jiaojiao's question, she lifted her head; her face showed little shock or sorrow, but rather unusual calm.

She was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head and said softly, "I'm fine."

She truly hadn't expected Su Yanhua to fall into such a situation.

After all, Su Yanhua had been Reborn, so she could never end up like this.

"She's also… responsible for herself."

Jiang Ran entered at some point, apparently having heard it from outside.

His expression was cold, and his tone contained no hint of sympathy.

"Back then she schemed to snatch Liu Wenbin, she should have foreseen a day like this."

"The path was her own choice; she can't blame others."

He walked to Su Ruan's side, looking at his wife's calm profile, and softened his tone: "Don't overthink it; whatever she's like now has nothing to do with us."

"Your most important task now is to take good care of yourself and the two children."

"Alright, alright, that matter is over; let's stop the chatter." Li Huijuan spoke, breaking the somewhat heavy atmosphere, "Jiang Jiaojiao, you too—listen to fewer idle rumors outside from now on."

"RuanRuan is still in confinement and needs rest. Ranran, go check whether Jinjin needs a diaper change."

Jiang Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue, realizing she had been a bit too agitated earlier.

Jiang Ran then, as instructed, went to check on the son.

In the blink of an eye, Jinjin and An'an were about to reach their full month.

This was a momentous joy for the Jiang Family—a sudden addition of two babies, and they were auspicious Dragon-Phoenix Twins, so a proper celebration was inevitable.

That evening after dinner, the family gathered in the Main Hall, sipping tea, and began lively discussions about the Full Moon Banquet.

The two little ones were placed side by side in a rattan cradle lined with soft cotton padding, sleeping soundly, becoming the cutest backdrop to the family meeting.

"Dad, Mom, Grandma," Jiang Ran spoke first, his face unable to hide excitement and pride, "Jinjin and An'an are about to reach their full month. This Full Moon Banquet, we must hold a grand celebration, make it really lively!"

"Let everyone know that the Jiang Family has suddenly added two such adorable babies!"

Li Huijuan smiled and nodded, still stitching a pair of Tiger Head Shoes for the grandson: "It's natural, Dragon-Phoenix Twins—what a great blessing! It certainly calls for a proper celebration."

"I've roughly tallied it; our relatives on both sides, plus friendly coworkers from the factory, neighbors, and the many client friends who frequent your shop, we'll need at least a dozen tables."

Jiang Jianguo, though not talkative, had a smile at the corners of his eyes; he adjusted his glasses and calmly added, "The venue must be booked in advance. I think we should book the Guoying Hotel; it's spacious and the dishes are respectable. I'll contact them tomorrow."

"Alright, alright, Guoying Hotel it is!"

Jiang Nainai was beaming, watching the great-grandson and great-granddaughter in the cradle, her eyes full of affection.

"When the time comes, dress Jinjin and An'an up beautifully and carry them out, so everyone can see the great blessing of our old Jiang Family!"

Jiang Jiaojiao was even more proactive, immediately raising her hand: "The purchasing will be handled by me and Yan Shen!"

"Red Eggs, Longevity Noodles, and the Gift Sweets and Wedding Cakes for the guests—we'll take care of everything! I guarantee it'll be done perfectly!"

Yan Shen, sitting beside her, smiled and nodded, clearly accustomed to her fiery ways and willing to join the Jiang Family's celebration.

"But…" Li Huijuan thought of something, looking at Su Ruan resting on the lounge chair, her tone concerned, "RuanRuan will just be out of confinement then; her body still needs recuperation. The banquet will be crowded and noisy, I'm afraid she'll get tired."

"How about this: just make an appearance, offer a toast, then go back to rest? Also, try to carry the children out as little as possible, so they don't catch a cold."

All eyes turned to Su Ruan.

She had recovered well after childbirth; her complexion was rosy and vibrant, and she was gently watching the children in the cradle.

Feeling the family's concern, she warmed inside and smiled, "Mom, I'm not that delicate. Just be careful then; it's a happy day for Jinjin and An'an, and I want to celebrate with everyone."

She knew her mother‑in‑law meant well, but she didn't want to miss such an important day for the children.

Jiang Ran immediately replied, "Don't worry, I've got this! I'll stay by RuanRuan's side and the two children, making sure they don't get tired, and I won't let any idle people get too close!"

His solemn, battle‑ready demeanor made everyone laugh.

"Speaking of the children," Jiang Nainai recalled an important point, "for the Full Moon Banquet, we must carefully consider what the two kids will wear."

"After all, this is their first appearance before so many relatives and friends; they must dress festively and auspiciously!"

That comment hit the nail on the head.

The family instantly began discussing the children's attire.

"I think we should follow the old custom: wear Bajia Clothing, eat Bajia Food—good enough to sustain them!" Jiang Nainai suggested, "I've collected a lot of fabric neighbors gave me lately; they're fine material with good meaning. Later I'll hand‑sew them two Little Jackets."

Li Huijuan, however, had a slightly different thought: "Mom, your Handcraft is excellent; the Bajia Clothing you sew will surely be great."

"But Jinjin and An'an are Dragon-Phoenix Twins; shouldn't they have something special?"

"These days the trendy thing is a children's Tang‑style outfit, bright red, embroidered with the character 'fu' or little tigers—both festive and cute."

Jiang Jiaojiao immediately agreed, "Exactly! Mom's right! Tang‑style is good! Our department store sells them, but they're all similar, not unique enough."

She said, turning her gaze to Su Ruan, eyes bright, "RuanRuan! Aren't you and Jiang Ran the best at designing clothes?"

"Then just have the two of you design two unique sets of Full Moon Clothes for Jinjin and An'an!"

"You draw the designs, let Mom and Grandma help make them, or I'll find a familiar tailor; I guarantee they'll be a hundred times better than anything bought elsewhere!"

The proposal instantly earned the whole family's approval.

"Ah! What a great idea!" Jiang Ran was the first to clap and cheer, looking at his wife with pride, "When my wife takes charge, it's bound to be the best! Let Jinjin and An'an wear clothes designed by their mother from a young age—how meaningful!"

Su Ruan felt a bit moved by the talk.

Looking at the two delicately chiseled children in the cradle, cute patterns immediately floated in her mind.

She smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll give it a try."

She thought, "We don't have to stick to a purely traditional Tang‑style; we can tweak it a bit."

"Use bright red soft satin as the base; embroider gold soaring dragons and auspicious clouds on the boy's side, and pink flying phoenixes and peonies on the girl's, both festive and fitting the Dragon‑Phoenix Twins' meaning. The cuffs and collar edges can be trimmed with soft white Rabbit Fur Rolled Edge—warm and cute."

She spoke while gesturing with her hands, her eyes lively, full of creative sparkle.

"Good! This one is good!" Jiang Nainai kept nodding as she listened, "Dragon Flying Phoenix Dancing, Prosperous Peony, are both excellent omens! Let's do it that way!"
