Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 318
Yao Cunhui took a look at the dishes that came out on the table one by one: crispy bamboo shoots and ham, eight-treasure squid, fermented glutinous rice chicken, eggplant with minced meat, three-color steamed eggs, stir-fried kale, winter melon ribs soup, which looked light, Then he laughed and said: "This is our own negligence, it's hard for you to think of it, this is very good! You can go back and rest after a busy day, and I will ask someone to send the dishes back later!" Rong's mother took a piece of silver to her, "Thank you for your hard work, take it back and drink it!"

Seeing that Yao Cunhui didn't blame her, Zhu Ma slowly let go of her heart, and seeing that there is still money to be rewarded, it was simply a surprise.She didn't care too much about the amount of money or the amount of money. What was so rare was this decency, so she went forward to take it with a happy smile, and went respectfully.

Shen Quan happened to come out of it, and upon seeing this, he said, "At least this is how the servants in the mansion look like!" Apparently he was reminded of his unhappiness that morning.

"Which house doesn't have one or two diabolical slaves! Don't take it to heart!" Yao Cunhui gave him a look with a smile, and pulled him to sit down to eat.Shen Quan didn't care about the twists and turns in the inner house, but Yao Cunhui knew in his heart that if he hadn't killed the chicken to show the monkey that morning, why would I wish my mother to be so cautious!

"I'm a big man, so I don't care about this!" Shen Quan said with a smile: "It's you, if there is another slave who dares to make you angry, just clean it up! There are many people who can't eat and can't find work. , I can't find anyone who is useful!"

Yao Cunhui said with a smile: "There are mothers and second aunts who are housekeepers in the house, and there are mothers and daughters-in-law who are in charge in the middle, and there are clear rules there. If someone makes a mistake, there will be corresponding punishments waiting for her. I can't afford to be angry!"

Shen Quan thought for a while, nodded and smiled, "That's right!"

The two had nothing to say all night.

Early the next morning, Shen Quan got up early to go to court.He got up lightly, but Yao Cunhui knew that he was going to stand up, so she almost became alert, opened her eyes when she felt the movement, and smiled and stood up to serve.

"You are also tired these two days, lie down and sleep for a while longer, I will dress and wash my face myself!" Seeing that she was going to hold her down in a hurry, Shen Quan thought that Yao Cunhui was afraid that he would ask a maid to serve her closely trace of heart.

Yao Cunhui heard it funny, and gave him an angry look, but still insisted on getting up to serve him.

She is a new daughter-in-law, not to mention the whole palace, everyone in Xihe hall is watching, especially daylilies and vanilla, she doesn't want to leave a bad impression on them.

Shen Quan couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to wash his face, dress and comb his hair quickly, and repeatedly asked her to go back and lie down for a while before going out. Yao Cunhui agreed, and seeing him go out, Fang turned and went back to the room.

At this time, a line of whiteness had just appeared in the eastern sky, and Mama Rong said it was still early to greet her, and advised her to go back to her room and lie down for a while, Yao Cunhui herself felt a little tired, so she told Mama Rong to remember to call her when the time came, so she put on her clothes and went to bed to continue Lie down and go.

Drowsy and fell asleep for a while, and heard the soft call of Rhododendron, Yao Cunhui hurriedly got up, washed and dressed.

Today is the first official greeting as a new daughter-in-law, and Shen Quan is not by her side, so she dare not take it lightly.

Wearing a set of peony embroidered pomegranate red tapestry gold silk brocade buttoned jacket, hazy rainbow twirling grape dark pattern pleated skirt, combing peony wishful temples, matching hairpin and ring jewelry is luxurious but not outstanding, restrained but just right Showing his identity, he lightly put on makeup, looked up and down in the floor-to-ceiling dressing mirror, then took Hemerocallis and Rong Ma out together, first going to Mrs. Yanshun Juxiao.

When Yao Cunhui and the others arrived, Mrs. Xiao was still in the bedroom and just got up.Mrs. Xiao heard that she was coming, and hurriedly ordered Jinmei to ask her to sit outside and wait, and Jinmei brought tea herself.

Yao Cunhui hurriedly thanked Madam Xiao for her kindness, but she didn't dare to sit down, she still stood aside with her hands down and waited.The Gaiwan tea was taken over and was still lightly placed on the tall plum blossom tea table aside.

The mother-in-law's politeness is the intention of an elder, but as a daughter-in-law, she can't bear it too much.

After a while, Xue Jialin also came in from the outside with the girl Begonia. The little girl was wearing a light yellow embroidered half-arm, a watery white satin long skirt, combing a delicate forehead with a cloud tip, and a gorgeous begonia and emerald beaded hairpin. A bit pretty and lively.

Seeing that Yao Cunhui was also there, Xue Jialin's eyes lit up obviously, she stepped forward to bend her knees and smiled, "Sister-in-law, good morning!"

"Morning sister!" Yao Cunhui hurriedly returned the half salute.

"Mother usually doesn't get up so early, and the third sister-in-law will come two quarters of an hour late!" Xue Jialin laughed again.

"Thank you sister for your kind reminder!" Yao Cunhui smiled.

Just as he was talking, he saw Li's mother come out from inside, greeted Yao Cunhui and Xue Jialin with a smile, and then ordered the little girls to bring in hot water and towels, fragrant pancreas for washing face, toilet water, green salt for mouthwash, tea, etc.

"Is mother up yet?" Xue Jialin went inside while talking, and Yao Cunhui knew that she was going in to serve, so she hurriedly followed in.

Mrs. Xiao had already put on her clothes and was combing her hair. When she saw Yao Cunhui coming, she turned her head and smiled apologetically, "My dear boy, why did you come in too? Go out and sit, I'll be fine in a while!" Then she yelled at Shen Jialin, " Why don't you accompany your sister-in-law to talk outside? I have Mama Li, Jin Ying, and Jin Mei here, so you are the only one missing?"

Shen Jialin stuck out her tongue quietly when she heard the words, and smiled embarrassedly at Yao Cunhui.

"You, you are such a solid girl, you don't know how to be flexible at all!" Mrs. Xiao smiled helplessly and sighed.

"Mother, please don't see outsiders. It's right for a daughter-in-law to serve you! The third younger sister is also filial, so don't blame her!" Seeing this, Yao Cunhui hurriedly smiled, stepped forward with a smile, and took the mirror from Jin Ying's hand. Standing behind Madam Xiao and waiting.

"Mother, that's what my sister-in-law says!" Shen Jialin defended with a light smile.

Mrs. Xiao also smiled, seeing that Yao Cunhui insisted on this, she didn't have much to say, she smiled and nodded at her, and let her go.

After combing her hair, Yao Cunhui and Shen Jialin helped Mrs. Xiao wash her face and rinse her mouth, and finally took a bowl of ginseng soup from the maid and gave it to Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao took a few sips, and Mama Li took the pill that Mrs. Xiao usually took and dissolved it in hot water, and waited for her to take it. Yao Cunhui frowned slightly after smelling the smell of the medicine.

Mrs. Xiao frowned, and still suppressed her painful expression and drank the concoction in one gulp. Jin Ying had been waiting at the side, and then skillfully handed over the white water for gargling, stepped back on her wrong foot, and held the The little girl in the small brass basin followed suit.

After tossing and tossing, Mrs. Xiao raised the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said to Yao Cunhui with a smile: "From now on, please come here to say hello, don't come so early, come back a quarter of an hour later, how can you bear it if it's too early!"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, the prince is going to go to court, and after serving the prince, the daughter-in-law will also get up, mother don't think I'm stupid, so let me serve!" Yao Cunhui said with a smile.

"Then it will be even harder! Quan'er goes to court early, and you don't have to wait on him every day, there are girls here! He will feel sorry for you!" Mrs. Xiao said hurriedly.

Li's mother also smiled and said: "Yes, Wangfei, you should listen to Madam! Take care of your body and give Madam a big fat grandson as soon as possible. This is better than anything else! Madam has old slaves and maids here Waiting for you, princess, don't worry!"

"Mother speaks from the heart, not polite words! We are predestined to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Mother is not so narrow-minded and caressing, so don't be too cautious!" Mrs. Xiao smiled again, looking at her with gentle eyes. Yao Cunhui.

Yao Cunhui's heart warmed, and she was secretly grateful, so she agreed, and said with a smile: "My mother said so, it would be hypocritical for a daughter-in-law to refuse!"

Mrs. Xiao nodded with a smile, raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth, coughed twice, and panted slightly.

"Lin'er, you go to your grandmother's side to serve first, and tell your grandmother, your third sister-in-law and I will go there right away, let's go!" Mrs. Xiao suddenly raised her head and said to Shen Jialin.

Shen Jialin was a little reluctant, muttering that she wanted to go with her mother and third sister-in-law, Mrs. Xiao immediately stared at the past, Li's mother also smiled and persuaded, Shen Jialin then reluctantly went out.

Yao Cunhui's heart tightened immediately, and his face turned serious - Mrs. Xiao must have something to say to her alone.

……

After Mrs. Xiao's words, Yao Cunhui smiled wryly and secretly sighed, not wanting to have troubles one after another in the few days since she got married.

When mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to Cixin Residence together, Mrs. Xue was already there.After paying respects to Mrs. Shen, Yao Cunhui bowed her knees slightly and greeted Mrs. Xue with a smile, "Second Aunt!"

Xue sneered slightly and twitched the corners of her mouth, raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "Oh, princess, don't be like this! How can I bear the big gift from princess! If it is passed on, people will say that I don't understand good and bad, and don't distinguish between superior and inferior. ?”

"This is at home, Second Aunt, you are the elder, so my niece and daughter-in-law can't afford it!" Yao Cunhui still laughed.

Xue's lips moved and she was about to retort, but Mrs. Shen interrupted: "Okay, all sit down! What Huier said is that you are an elder at home, and you can bear her courtesy!"

"Yes, mother, the daughter-in-law can feel relieved if she has her words! The daughter-in-law will listen to what mother says!" Mrs. Xue seemed to be upset that Mrs. Shen helped Yao Cunhui, and the corners of her eyes swept her lightly.

Yao Cunhui just didn't know, sitting dignifiedly, with slightly downcast eyes.

After a while, Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Duan, the second grandmother Meng, the fourth grandmother Lu Ying, the second lady, the fourth lady, and the fifth lady all came in to greet the old lady.

No one else was fine except for the fourth wife, Duan Shi, who came in, those big, watery almond-shaped eyes charmingly glanced at Yao Cunhui, and gave her a deep look with a half-smile.

After Xue Jialin waited for the girls who had not left the cabinet to pay their respects, Mrs. Shen ordered Mrs. Meng to lead them down, and then said to Mrs. Lu: "You have been pregnant for more than two months now, and you have been tired a few days ago. Tomorrow You don’t need to come over to say hello since you’re a baby, just rest in the house and wait until the fetus is stable!”

"Yes, daughter-in-law, thank you for your mother's concern!" Mrs. Lu bowed her knees to Mrs. Shen and agreed, with lowered eyebrows and a flat expression on her face, neither the slightest bit of happiness nor the slightest bit of displeasure.
