Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 296: Husband’s thoughtfulness

It was already bright when Murong Lizhu woke up. She quickly stood up, looked at Jiang Youchen who was already fully dressed and was reading a book in front of the window and said, "What time is it now?"

Today is the second day of the wedding, but it is too late to serve tea to the elders.

Jiang Youchen heard his wife's call, put down the reading book in his hand, and walked forward slowly: "It's not even Chen time yet."

Meeting her parents-in-law for the first time, the etiquette was complicated and she had to get ready. It was already too late to get up at this hour.

Murong Lizhu quickly got out of bed and hurried to the door to call her maid. However, she couldn't help complaining about Hong Yu: "It's already this hour, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Hongyu glanced at Jiang Youchen in the room and hesitated: "My uncle didn't allow me to disturb you."

When Murong Lizhu heard that it was Jiang Youchen's fault, she naturally couldn't complain any more. However, her face couldn't help but become gloomy, and she said to Hongyu, "It's too late today. Please help me wash up and get dressed."

Hongyu quickly called the little girls to bring them the toiletries, and quickly helped Murong Lizhu wash and dress neatly.

Murong Lizhu packed up and left the inner room. She saw that breakfast had been laid out in the outer room, and Jiang Youchen was sitting at the table waiting for her.

Murong Lizhu glanced at the clock on the wall and said to Jiang Youchen: "I'm afraid it's too late. Let's go serve tea first and use it when we get back."

Hearing this, Jiang Youchen also glanced at him, then waved away the serving maid, and said to Murong Lizhu: "Today I'm going to meet my grandparents, parents, and brothers and sisters-in-law. After this trip, I'm afraid it won't be until midnight." How can you do this on an empty stomach?"

As he spoke, he winked at his wife and motioned for her to sit down and eat first.

Murong Lizhu, on the other hand, stood still. She was obviously more concerned about being polite and did not want to risk being late and being rude.

Murong Lizhu lost her biological mother when she was born, and has been raised under the knee of her aunt mother. Although her aunt mother has always been kind to her, she is not her biological mother after all. Therefore, when children of the same age were still acting coquettishly under the pampering of their mother, she had already learned to observe people's expressions, speak and act based on their expressions at a young age. Later, her biological father and aunt also died, and she lost even her last shelter. Although her uncle took her to King Mu's Palace, she still lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, but in the end she was still living under someone else's roof, and she had to figure it out. Be careful and live cautiously.

This has also developed her temperament that has always been cautious and takes etiquette and rules very seriously.

Although the two had just gotten married and didn't know each other well, Jiang Youchen couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw his wife looking so nervous when she saw her family for the first time.

He stood up and took his wife, helped her sit down on the chair, and slowly persuaded her: "Although our family has rules, our parents and elders are all kind people. Don't worry, no one will make things difficult for you here." .”

As he said that, he personally served a bowl of hot porridge to his wife, pushed it to her and said: "You were tired all day yesterday. How could you not eat? Now it's not that it's still early, but it's just an hour and a half late." , everyone will understand how hard it is for you to travel thousands of miles to get married, and they will definitely not pick on you."

Seeing that his wife was still hesitant and refused to eat with a sullen face, Jiang Youchen smiled and teased her: "If it's late, I will tell everyone that you have been here long ago, but I am greedy for breakfast." Food has weighed you down, okay?"

Murong Lizhu finally laughed when she saw her husband caring about her so thoughtfully, and said angrily to Jiang Youchen, "If it's really late, you're the one who dragged me down."

After breakfast, the couple left the house. Murong Lizhu couldn't help but feel anxious, and her steps couldn't help but haste. Jiang Youchen held his wife's hand under his sleeve and said softly: "Don't be anxious, this is your home and a place to relax."

Murong Lizhu turned her head to look at her husband, smiled at him and nodded.

By the time we got to the front yard, the Jiang family's parents had already packed up. Jiang Youchen's eldest brother and sister-in-law had also come over with several children. The second sister-in-law and brother Xuan entered the house ahead of them and were about to sit down.

The eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, met Murong Lizhu with her mother-in-law when they were getting engaged. As soon as Lizhu and Jiang Youchen walked to the front of the hall, Ms. Zhang greeted her warmly: "Father, mother, third brother and sister-in-law, come here." ”

With that said, she personally stepped forward and opened the curtain for the two newlyweds.

 The two newlyweds entered the house, bowed to Jiang's parents and served tea, and then greeted their elder brother and two sisters-in-law.

When Jiang's mother, Mrs. Tian, ​​saw that her daughter-in-law was beautiful, dignified and courteous in her speech and behavior, and that they were a perfect couple standing together with her son, she felt indescribably happy in her heart, and she quickly called her daughter-in-law to sit next to her. On the other side, I couldn't help but chattered and asked questions.

Seeing his wife's over-enthusiasm, Jiang's father couldn't help but said: "The child has just been married, and there will be plenty of time to chat from now on. Don't worry about everything."

Ms. Tian glared at her husband and muttered, "Lizhu is marrying from afar. I'm worried that she won't get used to it."

Murong Lizhu saw that the Jiang family members were indeed very kind and easy to get along with, and she felt more at ease. She smiled at Mrs. Tian and replied: "Although I have just come to the mansion, my husband treats me gently, and I will adapt to it as soon as possible." That’s it.”

Mrs. Tian looked at her son, then at her daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "Sanlang is careful. If you have any problems here, just ask him to help you, or you can ask me and your two sisters-in-law." .”

Sister-in-law Zhang agreed: "Yes, we are a family now. After the third brother returns to Beijing, the second brother and I will take you for a walk around Chaozhou to let you recognize the customs here."

Second sister-in-law Zhao also followed suit: "Although Chaozhou is not as prosperous as Jiangnan, it is still a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. My brothers and sisters will like it after living here for a while."

Everyone treated her as a family member, but Murong Lizhu felt uncomfortable in her heart when she heard it.

According to the rules, a daughter-in-law who enters the family must fulfill her filial piety in front of her parents-in-law and learn to take care of the housework. She cannot follow her husband to his appointment.

Although Murong Lizhu knew this rule and was mentally prepared to be separated from Jiang Youchen after marrying him, she only spent a day with Jiang Youchen and knew that he was so considerate and gentle. The man felt heartbroken when he thought about being separated from him again.

After listening to Mrs. Zhang's words, Lizhu frowned slightly. She tried her best to maintain a smile and replied: "I am new here. After my husband takes office, I will have a lot of troubles for my two sisters-in-law. I hope the two sisters-in-law will not do anything." Just think of me as stupid."

 After saying that, she glanced at Jiang Youchen inadvertently, with a trace of reluctance in her eyes.
