green bamboo dream

After meeting the immediate relatives, according to the rules, it is necessary to meet the relatives from the sidelines. The old man has been out of his mind since just now, and he is going to go out first. 【26nbsp;】

At this moment, a maidservant wearing a thin green bija lifted the curtain and came in to report: "Old lady, the maidservant went to see it just now, but the elder in Anhuai Hall hasn't come yet."

"Really." The old lady Xie took a look at the uncomfortable old man, and said with a blank expression: "Then let's serve breakfast first, and then go to meet relatives after using it." At the same time, she ordered the maid to go over there to take care of him. with.

Yuzhu was very happy. She really hated the big family living together, but it is said that there is a rule in Duke Cheng's mansion that the title of each generation must be inherited by the eldest son. The eldest son inherits. As for the other concubine sons, they will all be separated after they get married. The family will give some property and live in a house.Whether the life will be good or bad in the future depends entirely on oneself, and has absolutely nothing to do with Cheng Guogong's government.

It seems that Mrs. Xie has implemented this rule quite thoroughly. No wonder there was an "aunt" who looked at her very unkindly last night. Those should be concubine brothers who married the old man and separated to live alone. Life is not so happy yes.

"Eat obediently..." Cheng Xunxun squeezed Yuzhu's fingertips with his hands hidden under his wide sleeves, led her to the table, and gave another order in a low voice, and then went out with the old Duke, Cheng Xungong, and Cheng Siyi box.

Yu Zhu stood cautiously and waited for the old lady to sit down first. Although the new daughter-in-law usually didn't need to serve her mother-in-law the first day, she always had to do it. Fortunately, she was half full in the morning. It doesn't matter if you don't eat a bite.

"Second brother really loves my brother so much, I don't feel at ease staying with the old lady for a meal." Gong Shi giggled twice, cleaned his hands and served Xie Shi porridge himself.

Yu Zhu blinked her eyes, she seemed to see a ray of fierceness in Gong's eyes just now, and after listening to this, she can see that it was not her own illusion just now, you must know that all mother-in-laws have a natural hostility towards their daughter-in-law. It's all about showing more or less, the words just now are obviously trying to draw out the old lady's hostility...

"Whether there are so many conversations over a meal, even though they are all born from side branches, there are also many elders. Is it possible that the elders have to wait?"

Just when Yu Zhu was about to speak, Mrs. Xie cast an impatient glance at Mrs. Gong, and said coldly, "Sit down and eat."

Yu Zhu sat down obediently, and thought to herself, why her mother-in-law didn't seem to like this distant relative's daughter and eldest daughter-in-law as rumored, but rather loathed her.And Mrs. Gong didn't seem to care, Yu Zhu saw a slight mocking smile on her lips, and sat down as if nothing had happened.

Fortunately, Mrs. Gong didn't say anything afterwards, and the meal was peaceful after the meal.

After the four of them had eaten, maidservants filed in and offered fragrant tea, handkerchiefs, water basins and rinsing bowls. The etiquette after dinner was taught by Mama Tian herself. The whole set of coherent washing movements are elegant and smooth, and it is a pleasure to watch.Mrs. Xie took a look at the two daughters-in-law on the opposite side, lowered her head and took a sip of tea calmly. Sure enough, this rule is to be used every day. It's all here...

"Since we've finished eating, let's go, it's not good to keep people waiting." Mrs. Xie helped Yang Ma's first hand to stand up, and said to the three people below.

Yuzhu, Mrs. Gong and Mrs. Ji hurriedly responded with respect, and followed Mrs. Xie out.

The old duke and the others were basically born in the army. After eating a long time ago, they were at the gate of the round moon, and a group of eight went to Anhuai hall together.

Cheng Guogong's mansion does not occupy a large area in Beijing, but it is magnificent and bright. The courtyards are covered with green glazed tiles, and the ridges are inlaid with kissing beasts. Bamboo was a little excited.

Anhuai Hall was originally the residence of the old grandfather's frail and sick mother who died young. It is not far from Siqian Hall where the old lady Xie lived. After leaving the courtyard gate, passing through the narrow passage, going south from the back porch, and exiting the corner door It is an east-west corridor, and to the north is the inverted seat and two small halls. Outside stands a large screen wall carved with bricks, and behind it is a half-gate. Mrs. Xie pointed to the door and told Yuzhu: "This is your sister-in-law. She is in charge of the house now, if you need anything, come to her."

Mrs. Gong hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, younger brothers and sisters, if those unreasonable slaves dare to lie to others and deduct your share in the yard, feel free to come to me to vent your anger on you."

Yu Zhu first glanced at Cheng Xunxun beside him, seeing that he noticed her gaze, then lowered her head shyly.Damn, it's so quick to shirk responsibility for the future, do you really think I can't hear it, but it's better to be weak in front of the elders and husband-in-law, so I said softly: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Cheng Xunxun frowned, subconsciously moved towards Yu Zhu, Xie seemed not to see, and said: "Your nephew's wife's yard can't be reached today, let's admit it another day."

Ji Shi also smiled affectionately with Yu Zhu: "The second aunt will come to drink tea in my yard some other day, and I will treat her with the best jasmine sparrow tongue."

After chatting with Ji's for a few more words, An Huai Tang arrived.

From the outside, the gray tiles used are very simple and heavy, but it does not give people a shabby feeling, but a touch of dignity.After approaching, a person in charge of the mother who was waiting outside hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The two masters, the old lady, the young masters and the ladies have all arrived."

The old man nodded slightly, and said, "Go and report."

After the steward's mother went in, it took a while before the old man led the crowd in. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yu Zhu always felt that the old master had something to do and couldn't wait.

After entering, I found that the first two rows of huanghuali official hat chairs were full of people, and they were pulling homework in twos and threes. A picture of "Quiet Thinking in Autumn Snow" hanging on it is very unsuitable.

Yu Zhu poked her head out from Cheng Xunxun's broad back, sized her up quietly and then retracted. These relatives can be said to have nothing to do with her. You have to recognize it clearly, don't make a joke, then maybe you will have a reputation for "eyes above the top" and "arrogance".In the past, Aunt Sun's top relatives came to fight the autumn wind, and my father was so angry that he couldn't help it. Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. Unless they use some ruthless methods, they will have to spend money to eliminate disasters. After all, reputation must be taken into account... …

"Oh, my second brother." A very rich old man who was sitting saw the old man, and immediately stood up and saluted affectionately, "I haven't come to see you recently. Are you still in good health?"

An uncle on the opposite side was a little gloomy, and he also stood up at this time, but it seemed a little perfunctory.

"Big brother, third brother." The old man helped the two brothers up with a smile, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's nothing compared to when I was young. I used to drink a jar of good Jinhua wine for a meal, and it's fine. But not now."

The third master, dressed as a wealthy literati, showed an envious expression, and said, "Oh, my younger brother has never drank Jinhua wine since we separated. Don’t be greedy, big brother, don’t try to lure me.”

The old master waved his hand cheerfully: "What is a little wine worth? When you leave later, ask your sister-in-law to pack three jars for you and leave."

The third master smiled all of a sudden, and thanked him again and again.

Mrs. Xie smiled slightly, and said to the three old ladies standing aside: "Third siblings, didn't you come to ask for a golden bird's nest lamp a few days ago to go back to make up for the third brother? It's better to drink less alcohol while eating bird's nest. You have to be strict with your wine, only let the third brother drink one cup a day, don't drink too much." After a pause, Xie's morpheme slowed down slightly, and said with a light smile: "If you come to ask for it so quickly, it's not just I, even your elder brother, will not follow me."

The third old lady was a little embarrassed, she glanced at the third master, and said with a dry smile: "Yes, thank you sister-in-law for your concern."

"Hmph." The elder frowned tightly, with a cloud of gloom between his brows, and said in a strange way: "Second brother, my brother is not as rich and peaceful as you, but today I asked for leave on purpose, and I have to go later The yamen is like an ox or a horse, but it really can't stand the delay."

The old man sighed helplessly: "Brother, you... oh..." But he didn't say anything more, pointing to Yuzhu beside Cheng Xunxun and said, "This is my second daughter-in-law."

He introduced to Yuzhu again: "This is your uncle and third uncle, and those two are your eldest aunt and third aunt."

Yu Zhu recognized at a glance that the eldest aunt was the one who was not very friendly last night. Great, I have some thoughts in my heart.

The following is Gong's introduction of a group of brothers and sisters of the same generation. Because of Cheng Xunxun's age, most of them are older than him. There are still quite a few children brought, wait a while to see them, and make a little estimate, well, it’s almost even, and maybe a few golden nudes will be lost, Yu Zhu suddenly feels the wisdom of family planning.

Although her dowry is very rich, and the silver and gold at the bottom of the press box given by Cui's family are also very exciting, but it can't be empty. Yuzhu, who loves the silver, is determined to think about some methods when she settles down, so that her dowry The shop and Zhuangzi can make the best use of everything.

After recognizing the relatives, Yu Zhu put her hands away and thanked the Cheng family again for the rules of family division. In fact, there were not many people she wanted to remember. According to the information provided by Cui, except for the two sons, the old lady The Xie family also gave birth to a daughter. The eldest daughter, Cheng Guiyun, is now the eldest wife of the Jiang family of Marquis Dingnan, and she did not come back today due to business.There are more concubines. There are three men and two women. They are all from a large family. Yu Zhu carefully looked at the head and face materials of the women's relatives. They are decent. One or two may be earned by themselves, but they are all like this It is the fatherly heart of the old man. I am afraid that when the concubine sons were divided out, they gave a lot of property, and the concubine daughters must have married into wealthy families...

At this moment, the old man has already pulled a white and elegant man in Tsing Yi to look him up and down, with tears glistening in the corners of his eyes, as if he missed him very much.

Yu Zhu thought for a while, but still had some impressions, this should be the concubine son of an old aunt, seems to be the eldest son of the concubine, the same age as the eldest daughter of the Xie family.
