After seeing the direct relatives, according to the rules, it is necessary to recognize the relatives of the side lineage, and the old man has been a little distracted from just now, and he has to go out first.
At this time, a maid wearing a thin green armor lifted the curtain and came in to report: "Old lady, the slave maid went to see it just now, and the eldest master in Anhuai Hall has not yet come." ” "Yes."
The old lady Xie glanced at the old man who was a little uncomfortable, and said expressionlessly: "Then let's set breakfast first, and then go to recognize my relatives."
At the same time, he told the maid to go over there and wait.
Yuzhu is happy in her heart, she is quite disgusted with the big family living together, but it is said that there is a rule in this Chengguo Mansion, the title of each generation must be inherited by the eldest son, if it happens that there is the eldest son, it is also inherited by the eldest son, as for the other sons of the concubine, they will be divided into a single after marriage, and the family will give some property and go to a house.
Whether you will live well or badly in the future depends entirely on yourself, and there is no relationship with the Cheng Guogong Mansion at all.
It seems that the Xie family has implemented this rule more thoroughly, no wonder there was an "aunt" who looked at him very badly last night, those should be married to the brother-in-law of the old man and separated out to live alone, and the life is not so satisfactory.
"Eat obediently" Cheng Xunxun's hand hidden under the wide sleeves pinched Yuzhu's fingertips, led her to the table, and whispered another order, and then went to the outer compartment with Lao Guogong, Cheng Xungong, and Cheng Siyi.
Yuzhu stood cautiously and waited for the old lady to sit down first, although the new daughter-in-law generally does not need to give her mother-in-law vegetables on the first day she enters the door, but she always has to do it, but fortunately, she has eaten most of her full in the morning, and she will not eat a bite at this time.
"The second brother really loves his brother, and he doesn't feel at ease to stay with the old lady for a meal."
Gong Shi chuckled twice, cleaned his hands and personally served porridge to Xie.
Yuzhu blinked, just now he seemed to see a similar fierce light in Gong's eyes, and then listening to this, it can be seen that it was not his own illusion just now, you must know that all mothers-in-law have a natural hostility towards their daughters-in-law, but they are just a little bit of performance, and the words just now are obviously to draw out the hostility of the old lady "Where to have a meal, there are so many words, although I will see later, although they are all from the side, there are many elders, it is difficult to wait for the elders" Just as Yuzhu wanted to speak, Xie glanced at Gong impatiently, and said coldly, "Let's all sit down and eat." ” Yuzhu sat down obediently, secretly wondering why his mother-in-law didn't seem to like the daughter and eldest daughter-in-law of this distant relative as rumored, but seemed to be very disgusted.
And Gong didn't seem to care, Yuzhu saw a shallow mocking smile on the corner of her lips, so she sat down as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, Gong didn't say anything later, and the meal was peaceful and quiet.
After the four of them eat, there are maids and fishes running in, serving fragrant tea, towels, water basins and gargles, and the etiquette after the meal is taught by Tian's mother herself, and the rules of the palace are complicated and elegant, so a set of coherent washing actions are elegant and smooth, and it is a kind of enjoyment to watch.
Xie Shi glanced at the two daughters-in-law opposite, quietly lowered his head and took a sip of tea, sure enough, this rule is to be used every day "Since it's all eaten, let's go over, it's not good to make people wait longer."
Xie Shi stood up with Yang Ma's hand and said to the three people below.
Yuzhu and Gong and Ji were busy and followed Xie out.
The old prince and they were basically born in the army, and they had already finished eating, and Hou was at the full moon gate, and a group of eight people went to An Huai Tang together.
Cheng Guogong's Mansion occupies a small area in Beijing, but it is better to be magnificent, the atmosphere is bright, each courtyard is covered with green glazed tiles, the ridge is inlaid with kissing beasts, the Yongyu is undulating and staggered, the momentum is magnificent, so that the rain bamboo that is accustomed to seeing the small and beautiful backyard is quite excited.
An Huai Tang was originally the old man's frail and sick and died early mother lived, not very far from the old lady Xie lived in Siqian Hall, out of the courtyard door, through the mezzanine, from the back porch to the south, out of the corner door is an east-west road, the north is the inverted seat and two small hugging halls, there is a brick carved large shadow wall outside, there is a half gate behind, Xie pointed to the door and told Yuzhu: "This is your sister-in-law's yard, she is now in charge of the house, you are missing something to come to her." ” Gong Shi hurriedly smiled: "Brother and sister, don't worry, if those Diao slaves dare to deceive their superiors and subordinates, and deduct the share of your yard, just come to me to vent your anger." ” Yuzhu first glanced at Cheng Xunxun beside him, and when he noticed his gaze, he lowered his head shyly.
Ya, I shirked my responsibility so quickly for the future, I really can't hear it, but it's better to be weak in front of my elders and husbands, so I whispered: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ” Cheng Xunxun frowned, and subconsciously blocked in front of Yuzhu, Xie Shi didn't seem to see it, and said: "Your nephew and daughter-in-law's yard can't go today, let's recognize it another day." ” Ji Shi also smiled affectionately with Yuzhu: "Another day, the second aunt will go to my yard to drink tea, and I will definitely bring good jasmine to entertain me." ” After a few more words with Ji's family, An Huaitang arrived.
From the outside, the ash tube tile used is very simple and heavy, but it does not give people a little shabby feeling, but has a faint noble float.
After approaching, a person who was waiting outside in the shape of a housekeeper's mother hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The two masters, the old lady, and the young masters and ladies have already arrived. ” The old man bowed his head slightly and said, "Go and report it." ” After the housekeeper's mother Fu went in, after a while, the old man led everyone in, I don't know if it was an illusion, Yuzhu always felt that the old marquis was a little impatient.
After entering, I found that the first two rows of Huanghuali in the four out of the head of the official hat chair were already full of people, and they were pulling the homely routine, and the hall was a little large, and there was a faint echo, and it was noisy, and the "Autumn Snow Meditation Map" hanging in the middle of the hall was very incompatible.
Yuzhu poked his head out slightly from Cheng Xunxun's broad back, quietly looked at it and shrank back, these relatives can be said to have nothing to do with her, but it should be noted that if a relative comes to recognize her relatives and visits, she must recognize it clearly, don't make jokes, then maybe there will be some reputation such as "eyes above the top" and "arrogance".
In the past, Aunt Sun's best relatives came to fight the autumn breeze, and the father was angry enough, isn't there no way, the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, unless they use some ruthless means, they have to spend money to eliminate the disaster, after all, they have to take care of their reputation "Oh, my second brother."
A very rich old man sitting saw the old man, and immediately stood up affectionately and saluted, "I haven't come to see you recently, but my body is still tough."
An uncle on the other side was a little gloomy, and he also stood up at this time, but he seemed to be a little perfunctory.
"Big brother, third brother."
The old man smiled and picked up the two brothers, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's just compared to what I didn't have when I was young, I used to drink a jar of good Jinhua wine in one meal, but now it's not good." ” The third old man, dressed as a rich literati, showed an envious expression and said: "Alas, since the separation, the younger brother has never drunk Jinhua wine. ” The old marquis waved his hand happily: "What is a little wine worth, let your sister-in-law pack three jars for you when you leave later." ” The third master smiled all of a sudden, and thanked him again and again.
Xie Shi smiled slightly, and said to the third old lady standing on the side: "Third brother and sister, didn't you come to the door a few days ago to ask for swiftlet to go back to make up for the third brother's body, it is better to drink less alcohol during the period of eating bird's nest, and the wine sent to you by your sister-in-law must be strictly guarded, and you are only allowed to let the third brother drink one cup a day, and you can't drink more."
After a pause, Xie's morpheme slowed down slightly, and chuckled: "If you come to the door so quickly, not only me, but also your eldest brother." ” The third old lady was a little embarrassed, glanced at the third old man, and said with a dry smile: "Yes, thank you sister-in-law for your concern." ” "Hmph."
The eldest man frowned tightly, his eyebrows were gloomy, and he said in a strange manner: "Second brother, my brother is not as rich and secure as you, but I specially asked for leave today, and I have to go to the Yamen to be a cow and a horse later, but I really can't afford the delay." ” The old man sighed helplessly: "Big brother, you sigh" but he didn't say anything, pointed to the Yuzhu beside Cheng Xunxun and said, "This is my second daughter-in-law." ” He introduced Yuzhu again: "This is your eldest uncle and third uncle, and those two are your eldest aunt and third aunt." ” Yuzhu recognized at a glance that the eldest aunt was the unfriendly one last night, and her face was not obvious, she only took the tea in the maid's hand and respectfully saluted the tea.
The following is Gong's introduction to a group of brothers and sisters of the same generation, because of Cheng Xunxun's age, most of the peers are older than him, Yuzhu has gained a lot of money, but unfortunately everyone is dragging their families to bring their mouths, and some of them have brought a lot of children.
Although his dowry is very rich, and the silver and gold at the bottom of the box given by Cui's are also very exciting, but he can't sit on a mountain and eat it empty, Yuzhu, who feels sorry for the silver, is determined to think about some ways to settle down, so that his dowry shop and Zhuangzi can make the best use of it.
After recognizing the kiss, Yuzhu put away her hand, and thanked the Cheng family again for the rules of the family, there are actually few people she wants to remember, and according to the information provided by Cui's family, in addition to the two sons, the old lady Xie also gave birth to a daughter, and the eldest daughter Cheng Guiyun is now the eldest wife of the Jiang family of Dingnan Hou, and she has not come back today.
There are more concubines, there are three men and two women, all of them are a large family, Yuzhu took a closer look at the women's head and face clothing, but it is also decent, one or two may be earned by themselves, but they are all like this, I am afraid that it is a fatherly heart of the old man, and the property given by the concubines when they were divided is afraid that there are a lot, and the concubines must be married to a solid family At this moment, the old man had already pulled a white and elegant man in Tsing Yi led by him to look up and down, and there were faint tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, as if he was missing him very much.
Yuzhu thought about it, and still had a little impression, this should be the concubine of an old aunt, it seems that he is still the eldest son, and he is the same age as the eldest daughter of the Xie family. gd1806102:
