Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 299 Wedding ([-])

The little girl gently placed the brocade mat in front of Mrs. Xiao, and Yao Cunhui knelt down, picked up the tea bowl from the tray in the hand of the servant girl beside her, held it high with both hands, and said, "Daughter-in-law offer tea to mother!"

Mrs. Xiao smiled and bent over to take it, lifted the lid of the tea bowl and drank a few sips, then put it down, took the slapped big mahogany box from Mama Li, handed it to Yao Cunhui, and said with a smile: "Good boy, let's see you later." I will leave it to you, you husband and wife should live in harmony, and spread the branches and leaves for the palace as soon as possible!"

"Yes, my daughter-in-law follows my mother's instruction!" Yao Cunhui took the box with both hands, "My daughter-in-law thanks mother for the reward!"

"Get up!" Mrs. Xiao raised her hand and smiled kindly, "We will be a family from now on, so there is no need to be so polite! Come, sit down and talk."

"Yes, thank you, mother!" Yao Cunhui got up, and sat in the seat opposite Shen Quan as she said.

After three or five gossips, Mrs. Xiao became a little out of breath and mentally weak, and Yao Cunhui didn't dare to look at it. Judging from the few words and what she heard, Mrs. Xiao should be suffering from a loss of energy and blood. Because of the trouble and heartbreak.Seeing her holding on, Yao Cunhui felt a little uneasy, so she laughed and said: "Mother must have worked hard these days, she should take a good rest for a few days, your body is important!"

Mrs. Xiao, Shen Quan, and Mother Li all froze, Shen Jialin also trembled slightly and lowered her eyes, and all the maids held their breath.

Yao Cunhui was shocked, wondering if he said something wrong!
"Hehe, the concubine is really filial, she cares so much about your wife! Ma'am, you should really rest for a few days! The concubine is right, your body is important!" Li's mother laughed dryly and said hastily.

"Good boy, I'm going to trouble you just now!" Mrs. Xiao had mixed feelings in her heart, pain, shame and bitterness, her face turned pale even after applying makeup, she coughed and pointed at Shen Jialin and said with a smile : "This is your sister, Shen Jialin, Lin'er, see my sister-in-law soon!"

"Hi, sister-in-law!" Shen Jialin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed her knees to see her.

"Sister!" Yao Cunhui stood up quickly, and took out a delicate rhombus-shaped big red purse from his sleeve, which contained a small piece of white jade pendant, and handed it to Shen Jialin, "Sister, don't laugh at me! A little thing!"

Shen Jialin hurriedly thanked her and took it, and with a small smile on her lips, she retreated timidly to Mrs. Xiao's side.

"It's time to visit Grandmother at Cixinju, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late." Shen Quan said and got up.Yao Cunhui also stood up.

"Yes, yes, you go over first, and I'll come later!" Mrs. Xiao smiled.

Shen Quan nodded, saluted her, and led Yao Cunhui out of Yanshunju.

When Shen Quan and Yao Cunhui arrived at Cixinju, it was a little early, and everyone from the second room, the third room, and the fourth room didn't come. But after a while, the masters of the second room, Shen Mingfeng and Mrs. Yesterday's new couple also came, as did the third and fourth bedrooms.A crowd of people sat in a room, joking and joking in front of Mrs. Shen.Mrs. Shen laughed happily.

Mrs. Xiao and Shen Jialin were the last ones to call, and when they came in and met Mrs. Shen, they smiled embarrassedly and apologized.

She has always been in poor health, and she is often the last one to arrive - this is not bad, at least half a month in a month cannot come to pay respects to Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen, pitied her for the loss of her son and husband, and had always been sympathetic to her. She never used big rules to deal with her, but often told her to take a good rest.

But today, Mrs. Xue couldn't see it for some reason, and said with a smirk, "Sister-in-law is really late, she must have been exhausted yesterday!"

Shen Quan had such a big accident in public yesterday, which frightened Madam Xiao very much. After the worship and the bride and groom were sent to the bridal chamber, she was exhausted like sweating, dizzy and tinnitus. She went back to the room early to rest go.Xue Shi's words sounded particularly harsh at this moment.

In front of the two new daughters-in-law, Mrs. Xiao was a little embarrassed to come down, smiled awkwardly, and said reluctantly: "I'm late, I kept the old lady and everyone waiting for a long time!"

Shen Quan glanced over lightly and said nothing.Yao Cunhui was very surprised: her mother-in-law is such a good-tempered person?

"Okay, okay! It's good when everyone is here!" Mrs. Shen didn't want to make any troubles that would be unlucky today, so she waved her hand and dismissed the matter lightly. She glanced at everyone and said with a smile: " Now that they are all here, let the second and fourth granddaughters-in-law serve tea, and get familiar with the elders, and we will be a family in the future!"

Everyone laughed and said yes, and they sat down according to their seniority.

Two maidservants in red begonia dresses stepped forward, one was holding a brocade mat, the other was carrying a tray with several bowls of tea in it.

Yao Cunhui stepped forward first, starting with Mrs. Shen, and served tea one by one.

As soon as Yao Cunhui entered the door, she was Princess Zhenxi. She was the most authentic headed mistress in the mansion. When serving tea, she didn't have to kneel down to the old lady Shen. Just serve tea.As for the people of the same generation, it was they who had to stand up and salute her before taking the tea.

The Shen family has four houses in total, except for Shen Quan's father, the uncles and uncles of the other three houses are all living husband and wife.

The second master Shen Mingfeng and his wife Xue Shi have two sons, the second young master Shen Yi and the fourth young master Shen Zhen.Shen Yi married Meng Shi, the daughter of Hanlin, and Shen Zhen married Shen Quan yesterday.It was inconvenient for Yao Cunhui to raise his head to look at others casually, but he greeted them one by one following Shen Quan's introduction, and glanced hurriedly with a smile.However, it seems that everyone in the second room, except Shen Zhen and Meng Shi, harbors a faint hostility towards her. When the second young master's gloomy and sharp eyes suddenly stared at her, she almost gave her a big jump.

The third master Shen Mingqi, his wife Lu Shi, and the fifth young master Shen Fu and the second daughter Shen Jiahua, maybe because the third master is a concubine, everyone in the third room is very low-key, honest and well-behaved, they dare not say a word, Move more.Only Lu Shi nodded to Yao Cunhui with a kind smile when he took the tea, and Yao Cunhui smiled back.

The fourth master Shen Minghua and his wife Duan Shi have two daughters, the fourth miss Shen Jialian and the fifth miss Shen Jiaqian. The fourth master is very handsome, with fair skin and a very bookish look. Shi was also born very charming and beautiful, with a melon-shaped face, a pointed chin, and a pair of apricot-shaped eyes that are watery and seductive.Sitting together, the two are truly a couple of gods and gods!The couple smiled and looked at Yao Cunhui with interest. According to Yao Cunhui, there seemed to be no other meaning, just pure curiosity.But Duan's eyeballs were rolling around, full of interest, and he seemed to be a good person.The two little girls are still young, the fourth lady is 12 years old, and the fifth lady is only six years old. The two sisters have inherited the good genes of their parents, and they are also very beautiful. They opened their bright eyes and smiled sweetly at Yao Cunhui. "Sister-in-law three!".

The rest of the aunts and concubines are not qualified to come here, so they skipped mentioning it.

Yao Cunhui made a circle, offered tea, recognized the person, and accepted the meeting gift. The old lady Shen smiled and ordered him and his wife to sit down, and then the Pingjin Lord Lv Ying and Shen Zhen offered tea.

The two seemed to be having an awkward fight, each with a cold face, neither looking at the other.

Shen Zhen lowered her head slightly as if she didn't care, Lu Ying raised her chin arrogantly and didn't care, the two people's steps were obviously staggered one after the other, and there was obviously a big gap between them, not as close as Yao Cunhui and Shen Quan, Shen Quan brought out from time to time The posture of wanting to embrace Yao Cunhui.

Mrs. Shen swept her eyes away, her eyes sharpened immediately, and the smile on her face became a little colder.

The title of Lord Weng was newly created by the Empress Dowager to confer on the prostitutes of her natal family after she came to power. In fact, it is only a kindness from the Empress Dowager, and it was not recorded in the ceremony of the Ministry of Rites.In other words, it is not a serious title, and the slightly lower treatment compared to the princess is just vaguely passed on for the empress dowager's face. Seriously, it is not as good as Yao Cunhui's Xiangjun—Xiangjun Anyway, it is still a famous grade in the national code.

It stands to reason that Lu Ying should kneel down to offer tea to Old Madam Shen, and also kneel down to the elders, but how could she kneel down with such an arrogant temper?Besides, Yao Cunhui didn't even kneel, and she couldn't kneel even more!
Even when serving tea to Mr. Shen and Mrs. Xue in the morning, she refused to kneel down, which made Mr. and Mrs. Shen very embarrassed and aggrieved. Later, Shen Zhen lost his temper, and her nanny, Nanny Li, whispered After persuasion, Lu Ying reluctantly knelt down. After toasting tea, she murmured softly: "I haven't even kneeled down at home..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xue was so angry that she almost lost her breath, thinking that of course you don't need to kneel down to your parents when you are at home, unless your parents are dead!Of course, she only dared to think about these words in her heart. She didn't have a pleasant smile on her face—she still expected this daughter-in-law to support the second room and earn benefits. so what?

After Lu Ying served tea to Mrs. Shen, it was Mrs. Xiao from the eldest room.

Mrs. Xiao was a little embarrassed when facing Lu Ying. After all, the incident between Lu Ying and Shen Quan was known all over the city, and Lu Ying also approached her in private.Mrs. Xiao was worried that Lu Ying would hold grudges against Shen Quan and Yao Cunhui, and she wanted to sell her face. Seeing Lu Ying coming to offer tea, before she knelt down, she leaned forward slightly and raised her hand to support her.

No, Lu Ying didn't intend to kneel down at all, she bent down casually and called "Auntie" faintly, and handed over the tea.Mrs. Xiao was very embarrassed.

Shen Quan's eyes turned cold, and he cast a sharp glance at Lu Ying, and the old Madam Shen's expression became a little worried.

Mrs. Xiao is different from the other three elders, she is the former Princess Zhenxi, and now the first-rank Mrs. Gaoming, no matter from the family or the country, she is worthy of Lu Ying's worship.

By doing this, Lu Ying clearly did not take her seriously.

Mrs. Xiao has always been unwilling to make things difficult for others. Although embarrassed, she still took the tea bowl with a smile, but the tea could not be drunk no matter what. Lu Ying.

Shen Zhen's face was livid, Wei Wei leaned forward and was about to speak, Lu Ying had already passed Mrs. Xiao, and arrived in front of Mrs. Shen San and his wife.Shen Zhen was so angry that his breathing became rough, and his two thick eyebrows stood upright, but he couldn't call Lu Ying back to offer tea to Mrs. Xiao again.
