Chapter 254 Chen's Remarriage ([-])

In the early summer of May, there was a cool breeze, and because of the happy event, the huge Cao Mansion was brightly lit. After worshiping, Mrs. Chen was sent to the bridal chamber, accompanied by Mrs. Song and others.

Su Liu also went to the new house of the Chen family and Cao Kui. The Cao family had no elders, and Cao Kui was the head of the family. Naturally, he lived in the main courtyard of the Cao mansion, Zhengde Hall.

Zhengde Hall occupies the largest area among the many courtyards of the Cao Mansion. It not only has a flower hall for discussion and reception, but also has a side room in the east and west rooms. After the flower hall is the master bedroom, which also has a small hall. A style of pineapple wood furniture was placed, and many valuable antiques were placed on the antique shelf, and two bowl-sized peonies were inserted in the beauty bottle placed by the window.

Walking into the master bedroom, Mrs. Chen was sitting upright on the marriage bed. On the desk in the room, a dragon and phoenix candle the size of a baby's arm was burning, making people's faces blush, which was truly touching.

"Mother." Su Liu stepped forward with a smile: "You've been tossing around all day, but are you tired?"

Chen shook her head shyly, and said softly, "A little bit."

"It's tiring in person, but it's worth it. I remember when I was sitting on the marriage bed, I almost fell asleep." Mrs. Song said with a smile.

Mrs. Chen lowered her head slightly, hummed, then looked at Su Liu and asked, "Where's your sister?"

"I don't know where I went with Chen Ye now." Su Liu said with a smile.

"There are a lot of people today, don't let them run around and bump into people carefully." Chen quickly instructed.

"Mother, don't worry, they are not inappropriate." Su Liu comforted with a smile: "You can be your bride with peace of mind."

Chen's face flushed slightly, and she gave her a coquettish look.

"Where is the bride, let us see how she is born." There was a noise from the door.

Su Liu and the others looked over and saw Cao Mingzhu walking in accompanied by several women wearing silk, satin and pearl jewelry. The one who walked in the front was a middle-aged woman about fifty years old, with a fat body and fine eyes. , the light flashed by.

Looking at the back, there are several young girls following, one of them is wearing a light yellow dress, with her head held high and her chest up, looking very proud, if those eyes were not shooting everywhere, she would be very arrogant.

Facing Cao Mingzhu's helpless eyes, Su Liu raised her eyebrows slightly and stood beside Mrs. Song with a smile.

When Mrs. Chen saw someone coming, she wanted to get up, and the leading woman said with an ouch: "Don't get up, the bride will be on the new bed, so you can't get up, we are here to meet new people. , look at this one with a proper color, no wonder our third master likes it, even if I see it, I like it very much."

Mrs. Chen showed a smile, looked at the woman, then at Cao Mingzhu, not knowing what her name was.

Cao Mingzhu smiled and stepped forward and said, "Mother, this is the wife of the head of the Cao clan's big house. If you call her eldest, that's grandma."

"Grandma, Grandma." Chen quickly called out.

"Hey, my maiden name is Tan, and my husband's family is in this generation, that is, the eldest brother of the third master. You can call me sister-in-law." Tan said with a smile.

Su Liu's eyes flickered slightly. Long before the Chen family was married, Cao Kui thoughtfully sent the information of the relatives and characters that the Cao family had contacts with now, and they also co-authored to learn more about them.

Speaking of which, Cao Kui's grandfather and the grandfather of the Tan's husband's family are the first brothers, they belonged to the second family, and they separated early, and the two generations were a little distant.The second room has always had a small population. From the father's generation, there was only Cao Kui, a male, and Cao Mingzhu, an only daughter after Cao Kui. This big family business can be regarded as having no successors, and in the clan, his this He ranked third in his generation, so he was called the third master.

The Tan family in front of me is the first wife of the eldest son in the big house and the current patriarch Cao Lin. In terms of seniority, she is really a sister-in-law, but she is a Tang, which is relatively sparse.

"Come on, this is your fourth sibling, this is your fifth sibling and sixth sibling." Mrs. Tan pulled several women in their [-]s and [-]s and introduced to Mrs. Chen: "This is Mingyan, the eldest daughter of your second sister-in-law. Ming Jun of the family of the fourth sibling..."

Su Liu looked over one by one, and several girls came forward to pay respects, and Mrs. Chen took out purses from the tray in the girls' hands and gave them one by one.

Cao Mingzhu introduced Mrs. Song to everyone again. Tan's eyes were slightly bright, and they stepped forward to salute very attentively, especially the girls, all acting as shy as daughters. After all, Mrs. Song's family also had a handsome and unparalleled The fifth son is unmarried!

"This is my younger sister, Su Liu." Cao Mingzhu pulled Su Liu to introduce her to the big guys.

Su Liu stepped forward with a smile, bowed profusely, followed Cao Mingzhu to call out, and raised her hands and feet, both calm and generous.

Cao Kui's newly married wife, Mrs. Tan, naturally knew about it. When Cao Kui lost his wife, he was thoughtful. He didn't know how many women he mentioned to Cao Kui, but Cao Kui rejected them all on the grounds that he loved his dead wife and kept his filial piety. Even the family members were unmoved by the reason of the son's incense, and then they were forced to worry, and said that if they were destined to have no children, they would adopt an heir in the family in the future, so they gave up.

Cao Kui earned a large amount of family property, and he hadn't married for many years, so he just guarded a daughter to live. After a long time, everyone thought that Cao Kui's thoughts on remarrying faded away, and he was wholeheartedly waiting for his stepchildren. Among them, the fourth wife who had the most sons The most active, who would have thought that Cao Kui would marry a bride suddenly.

If someone wants to marry a daughter-in-law, you can't refuse to marry her. Of course, Chen's background has been inquired clearly. She was born as a peasant woman, and she also brought two oil bottles. She is a good girl, and her future son-in-law will be General Zhenwei. Cao Kui married the Chen family, and she will be the general's father-in-law in the future.

The first daughter is going to marry the son of the magistrate's family, a famous family, and the stepdaughter is also the fiancée of the general. Cao Kui's status has risen, who in the clan dares to underestimate it?Even with that, she looked up to the new lady, Su Liu was such a status, she didn't dare to take it too seriously, besides, Su Liu's etiquette was also something that Zhou Zhengde did not pick, and everyone praised her.

Of course, there are always exceptions to everything. When it comes to their own interests, it is different, such as the fourth wife who wants to adopt his son under the name of Cao Kui.

"Fourth sister, I heard that there is also a younger brother. It seems to be the adopted son of this new aunt. I don't know what his original surname is? Now that the new aunt comes in, does this mean that this younger brother from outside is also our Cao family? Young master, is he the son of the third uncle? In the future, he will be filial to my third uncle." The one who spoke was the sixth lady of the fourth room, Cao Mingjun, that is, the woman in light yellow clothes with arrogant eyes on her head.

"Mingjun, what nonsense are you talking about? Your third aunt's son is naturally your third uncle's son. No matter if he is a foreigner or what, he is naturally devoted to the Cao family." Mrs. Zeng, the fourth wife, reprimanded lightly, but the tone did not The slightest reprimand.

"But mother, I remember that in our family, it seems that there is no custom of recording adopted sons in the genealogy, right?" Cao Mingjun said innocently: "If this is not registered, does it count as a member of the Cao family?"

"This..." Mrs. Zeng looked hesitantly at Mrs. Tan, the wife of the patriarch.

Tan's smiling face froze slightly, and he glanced at the Chen mother and daughter who looked a little unhappy, and secretly blamed the ignorance of the four families, the newcomer just entered the door, and he just got angry and made people ugly, and didn't look at them Her identity is the stepmother, and she has a daughter who will be the general's wife in the future, and she is ten times more noble than your ordinary businesswoman.

Cao Mingzhu's face was particularly ugly, she was not an idiot, she didn't know what the fourth wife was thinking, she was just blaming her father for marrying a bride, and the matter of adoptive heir fell through.

Mrs. Song smiled and said: "If you want me to say, you don't feel sorry for the bride too much. How can you talk about those trivial things on such a happy day? The days will be long, and the newcomers have already entered the house, so you are afraid of running away. No? Mingzhu, I thought everyone in the Cao family was just like you and your father, slow-tempered, but I don’t know that they are all quick-tempered!"

As soon as the words came out, although it was in a joking tone, everyone present could hear the slight reprimand implied in it, Zeng Shi and Cao Mingjun's expressions changed slightly, and they did not dare to refute.

Cao Mingzhu blushed slightly, and blessed Mrs. Song, saying: "I made Aunt Song laugh."

"That's right, the days to come are long, and today is a good day, four siblings, don't talk about such disappointing things." After reaching the steps, Mrs. Tan immediately looked at Mrs. Zeng with a hint of warning in her eyes.

Mrs. Zeng was slightly startled, and knew that they were rushing in today, so she smiled and said: "Yes, look at me, seeing the bride's beauty, I can't speak freely, sister-in-law, you won't blame my sister-in-law, right?" ?”

"Of course not." Chen said with a faint smile.

Mrs. Song said again this time: "If you want to talk about Mei Niang, I know her temperament best. She is so kind. How could she offend you with the Fourth Madam? But the Fourth Madam, you have to love me a lot. After all, she She just entered the door, she has a soft temper, Fourth Madam should protect her, don't let anyone bully her."

Girl!

Everyone looked at each other strangely, and Mrs. Song's "sister" was to tell everyone that Mrs. Chen is her younger sister, and she is behind her!

The fourth lady's mouth was slightly stiff, and she forced a smile and said: "That's natural, I see that the third sister-in-law is also a very good person, who dares to bully someone who doesn't have eyes, I will be the first to not forgive her."

Cao Mingjun showed unwillingness, and opened his mouth to say something, but Cao Mingzhu took her hand and said, "Sixth sister, didn't you say that you took a fancy to a new face in my shop, and it happened that the shopkeeper gave it to me?" Here comes the sample, do you want to try it on with me?"

After Cao Mingjun heard this, his face was overjoyed, his eyeballs rolled around, and he held Cao Mingzhu's hand with a smile and said: "I knew that fourth sister loved Mingjun the most, and I will never forget any good things. I."

There are many children in her family, and life is difficult. There are no good things in her usual jewelry. Now that Cao Mingzhu opens her mouth, she is naturally happy to hit the snake with the stick.

The rest of the girls were disdainful when they heard this, but they all looked at Cao Mingzhu with bright eyes. After all, the Cao family, Cao Mingzhu's family is the richest.

Naturally, Cao Mingzhu would not favor one person over another, and immediately called everyone to go, and did not forget to pull Su Liu, so that she could get acquainted with each other.
