Chapter 165
The morning sun shines through the bright red curtain, making the inside of the tent dim and red.

Douzi opened her eyes sensitively, but she couldn't hear the familiar crowing of the cock. For a while, she really didn't get used to it.

Looking at the red tent, she thought to herself that she was married and it was her first day as a new wife, and she had to get up early to serve tea to her parents-in-law.Therefore, without much hesitation, it is better to get up quickly.

However, when she sat up, she felt something bound her waist.

Douzi looked down and saw Dong Xiuning's arms were wrapping around her waist.He was still asleep, and his hot breath sprayed on her face, making her think of everything last night.

Those embarrassing things made Dou Zi blushed, pulled up the quilt, and wrapped herself completely.

She didn't know anything about what happened last night and how she fell asleep. She just remembered that she was too tired and unconscious, so she fell asleep.

However, just the movement of getting up just now hurt so much that she only felt that the flesh all over her body was about to split.

But, after all, it was the first day, so you must not get up late. Before she got married, Yang had repeatedly emphasized this to her.

Therefore, Dou Zi took Dong Xiu Ning Huan's arm away from his waist, supported the wall, slowly got up, and got dressed.

There was a girl waiting outside the door. Hearing the movement inside, she pushed the door open and walked in to wait for her to wash.

It was the first time for Douzi to be served by others, and she was really not used to it, but she couldn't bear it because she was new here and didn't know the customs here, so she could only let these girls come.

The sound of washing up naturally woke Dong Xiuning up.

"What are you doing so early in the morning? Go out!" He shouted.

The girl looked inside and said with a smile: "Young master is used to getting up late every day, so I won't be able to get up at this time."

Douzi nodded, and continued to let the girl do the washing.

"Grandma, my name is Qiutong. I'm a girl from our yard. I'll serve grandma by her side from now on. I hope grandma doesn't think I'm stupid." She laughed.

Douzi shook his head and whispered, "Where would it be?"

While washing and dressing Douzi, the girl told her about some things in the yard.

There are two big girls assigned to her to take care of her. Besides this Qiutong, there is another one named Qiuhe. Qiuhe has been resting because of the wind and cold a few days ago, and just in time for the young master to get married. It was unlucky, so he hid in the room and did not come out.

In addition to these two big maids who are personal servants, there are four second-class maids in Douzi's yard, and six rough envoys who are in charge of cleaning.

Douzi memorized everything Qiutong said.When the makeup was done and everything was ready, she was about to follow Qiu Tong to the main courtyard when Dong Xiuning said, "It's so early."

He yawned as he stepped off the bed.

Douzi didn't dare to look at him, but just lowered his head and gave a soft "hmm".

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

As he spoke, he asked Qiutong to take care of dressing and washing, and then he and Dou Zi went to the main courtyard.

Originally, the time was about the same, but it was a bit late to wait for Dong Xiuning.

By the time Douzi arrived at the main courtyard, shopkeeper Dong, who was now her father-in-law, and her mother-in-law, Yushi, had already woken up and dressed appropriately.

"Are you up?" Sitting on a chair drinking tea, Yu asked when seeing Dou Zi approaching.

Douzi lowered his head, feeling very nervous, twisting his clothes with his fingers, and agreed in a low voice.Although the mother-in-law didn't blame her, no matter how she heard it, she felt that she was not very happy.

"Wake up so early, it's a toss-up." Dong Xiuning said dissatisfiedly, and walked to a chair to sit down.

So after hearing what he said, he said, "Is this still early? I don't even look at your elder brother, I've already gone out to work."

Dong Xiuping is no longer going to test his fame, but helps shopkeeper Dong to manage the business of the restaurant.Today, most of the restaurant's purchases and daily affairs are handled by him.

"I don't get up until the sun rises every day, and I expect you to take the exam. I don't think pure numbers are worth it!" Yu Shi said, with a look of hatred on his face.

Dong Xiuning sat on the chair, pretending he didn't hear it, with a calm expression on his face.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Yu also knew that it would be useless to say more, so she simply said: "Learn more from your elder brother!" After saying this, he didn't say any more.

"It's a happy day, but I'm late?" Accompanied by this crisp voice, a woman suddenly walked in from the door.

She was about twenty years old, and she didn't look much older than Douzi.She was wearing a crimson purple skirt, and a silver silk sash over her body. The golden phoenix on her head spread its wings and swayed between her eyebrows as she walked. It was indescribably beautiful.

"It's okay, there's nothing wrong here, your husband's affairs are more important. Besides, if you have nothing to do, rest more, raise the baby well, and don't run around." Yu said again.

The new woman who came in smiled and said: "What mother said is true, the daughter-in-law must do as she said." She said, and then glanced at Dou Zi who was standing by the side, and said, "It's just that today is the first day for younger brothers and sisters to come to see their parents. Tea, I have to come, right? The doctor said, although it is not three months old and the fetus is still unstable, as long as you are careful, you will be fine."

Hearing what she said, Douzi thought that this person should be the daughter-in-law Liang's elder brother Dong Xiuping married the year before last.Although this Liang family is not a lady of the official family, she is also a wealthy businessman. Her family background is more than enough to match Dong Xiuping.Therefore, in her husband's family, she has never been made things difficult.

"Okay, don't talk too much, let's get down to business." Shopkeeper Dong said, and sat down on the chair above.

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl laid out a futon, and another girl brought two cups of tea.

Dou Zi went to the front of the futon and knelt down, picked up a cup of tea from the tray in the girl's hand, brought it to shopkeeper Dong, and said, "Dad, please drink tea."

Shopkeeper Dong stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a smile, "Hey, good, good."

As he spoke, he took two sips of the tea in the cup, picked up a red envelope on the table, and gave it to Dou Zi.

Douzi knelt down in front of Yu Shi again, picked up another cup of tea, and said, "Mother, please drink tea."

Mrs. Yu didn't look at her much, just said "um", picked up the teacup and just sipped it, then handed the red envelope on the table to Douzi.

After serving tea, Qiu Tong walked over and helped her up.

"Maybe you also know that the servants serving you are Qiu Tong and Qiu He, the other maids in your yard, you should go back and have a look.

Douzi agreed, and then heard her say again: "This is your sister-in-law, learn more from her in the future."

"En", Douzi first agreed, then walked up to Mrs. Liang, saluted, and said, "Please give me some advice, sister-in-law."

Seeing this, Mrs. Liang quickly helped her up, and said, "Oh, you can't help it, brother and sister, please don't do this."

Dou Zi was helped up by Mrs. Liang, and sat on the chair next to her, then she heard her say: "Mother, everyone is here now, can we set the meal?"

Mrs. Yu nodded, and then saw Mrs. Liang go to work.

Dou Zi sat on the chair, not knowing what to say.

"Okay," said Liang, looking at Dong Xiuning, "This time, you have married a wife, and you are the one who insists on marrying yourself. You should calm down and do more serious business."

This time, with a soft tone, Dong Xiuning finally listened and said, "Mother, don't worry, from now on, I will definitely work hard."

"Well, that's good." Yu Shi nodded and said, then looked at Douzi and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't forget to send back all the things you need for your dowry."

When Douzi heard this, he was surprised. Didn't the dowry things be packed by his own family?When will it be in her hands.

But thinking about it again, it seems that the night before the wedding, shopkeeper Dong sent someone to deliver antique calligraphy and painting, head jewelry and other things.She originally thought that shopkeeper Dong was just trying to put on a facade, but what she didn't expect was that those things would be returned.

It's just that shopkeeper Dong went out after drinking tea, and now there is no one who can really make decisions for her, so he said, "Well, I see."

Although there are a lot of those things, they are not my own after all, so it will be uncomfortable to use them.

Anyway, they are all one family, and they are the same for everyone.

She thought this matter would just pass away, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Yu kept talking about Douzi as if she had opened up a chatterbox.

"I know you are from a bad background, and you have never seen a big world, so, when you interact with those wives in the future, you must pay attention to your behavior, and don't make jokes and embarrass our family." Yu Shi Again.

Dou Zi nodded in agreement one by one.

"Oh my mother, are you finished yet? Do you want to eat?" Dong Xiuning said impatiently.

Mrs. Yu glared at him, seeing that Mrs. Liang had come back and was standing by the door, she helped the little girl's hand, got up, and went to the dining hall together.

At this time, the sun had already risen. When I was at home before, I should have finished my breakfast by this time, but now, perhaps because I was late in the morning, I ate so late.

Yu Shi also told her just now that she is more afraid of trouble, so she doesn't have to come here every morning and evening, she only needs to come here on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.But there is only one dining room at home, so the whole family still needs to get together when eating.

Douzi served Yu Shi the dishes first, and then sat down after receiving the order.Immediately afterwards, a woman much younger than Yu picked up the chopsticks and began to serve her vegetables.

Douzi guessed that this should be Shopkeeper Dong's concubine.Before coming here, Lianzi had told her that there was no need to pay too much attention to the aunt at home, as long as she didn't provoke her, she just stayed away from her.
