concubines are respected

Chapter 141 Rule [-]

"Follow the rules?" The eldest lady raised her voice sharply, and shouted in a slightly groggy voice, "This is also called following the rules. When a bride enters the house, she must offer tea to her parents-in-law and first wife, which is an unchanging principle. Even if Ping's wife enters the mansion, she should still be like this. But she is lucky, not only did she not offer tea to her first wife, but she even thought that I would offer tea to her to say hello, and when I came out, she even came out with a gold bracelet. This is Is it a rule? Is this the rule of Dingguo General's Mansion?"

The lady's cheeks were flushed with anger, and she muttered a lot, and she simply yelled out the grievances of these days, "Although she is the sister-in-law of General Dingguo, she can barely be regarded as a rich boudoir. But my master doesn't It's bad, my master is not the fifth-rank magistrate at the beginning now, the Holy Majesty personally sealed my master as the protector of the country, and hereditary will never replace him! Zhang Qiqin, since you married into our Lin family, you are a member of the Lin family. Tea, the rules of listening to the precepts must be followed. You are not only not paying attention to me, the eldest lady, but also the master, the old lady, and even the entire Duke Protector's Palace. In your eyes! Is this the rule you should have?"

The eldest lady yelled for a while, although her tone was tough and not pleasant to the ears, she finally made sense, and the old lady and Lin Mocheng couldn't stop her, but looked at Qi Qin with some embarrassment.

Suxian kept smiling and remained silent until the lady had finished speaking, and then she picked up the cup of tea on her back to moisten her throat, and then said seriously, "What my aunt said does make sense. The husband's family should indeed abide by such rules. But the mother is different. Did the aunt forget that the mother's identity is not only the aunt of General Dingguo, she also has the identity of Concubine Rou's adopted daughter. Instead In other words, she is the adopted daughter of the emperor. Yesterday, the mother married into Duke Huguo’s mansion, and the emperor personally gave her a half-princess ceremonial guard to see her off. Such a ostentation is comparable to a royal married daughter. If it is true, the mother can be regarded as a princess According to the law of Da'an, when a princess marries to any duke's mansion, the virtue of a respectable woman needs to be courteous to her in-laws. But..."

Speaking of this, Suxian deliberately put the word "but" very seriously, "But, after that, you have to follow the royal etiquette and be worshiped by your parents-in-law and even your husband. This is the rule of the heavenly family. Just now, my mother said to Suxian, The grandmother is getting old, and the father is recovering from illness, so such cumbersome etiquette can be avoided. She is willing to make concessions and pay homage to her parents-in-law, without having to let the grandmother and father reciprocate. It is the gift and virtuousness of the mother to do so. But you, aunt... If you follow the rules of the mansion, you and your mother are equal regardless of size, which is true. But according to the rules of the royal family, the mother is respected, and the aunt is humble. You can offer tea to mother, mother But if you can afford it, I don’t know why my aunt is unfair?"

When Da Furen heard this, her face was ashen-colored with anger, her lips were trembling and she couldn't speak for a while.

Suxian smiled lightly, ignored the impatient eldest lady, and continued, "Fortunately, there is no outsider in the room at this time. Grandmother strictly ordered the servants to keep silent, so no one would dare to say a word. Otherwise, the aunt just now If those words of turning the world around were spread to the palace, I don't know what kind of disaster it will bring to the Lin family!"

When Jing Suxian said this, the old lady also came back to her senses, what she said was reasonable, she was only thinking about welcoming the daughter-in-law of General Dingguo as her daughter-in-law, but she almost forgot that Qiuqin is the adopted daughter of Concubine Rou , enjoy the honor of the princess.How can a princess who is a daughter of gold personally offer tea to the eldest lady to say hello to her?

"Xian'er is right. My old lady is really confused. How could I forget this! Hey, daughter-in-law...you don't want to be offended..." The old lady groped for the crutch beside her, trembling Youyou wanted to stand up, Suxian had sharp eyes, strode forward and helped the old lady back to her original position.

Qiuqin smiled lightly, leaned slightly, and said, "Mother, don't worry. There are royal rules in the royal family, but since a daughter-in-law is married into the Lin family, she should respect her parents-in-law and take care of her husband and children. As for the cumbersome The details can be saved if possible. But..."

As she said that, Qiuqin looked at the eldest lady and smiled slightly, "But... serving tea to my sister... It's not that the daughter-in-law is not happy. It's because the daughter-in-law is married as a half-princess, which naturally represents the royal family, so the daughter-in-law dare not If you act rashly, I'm afraid that if something unexpected happens, you will lose the face of the royal family and cause trouble for the Lin family instead."

Qiuqin's words were very pertinent, and her attitude did not lose the etiquette of the Tian family, but also took care of the face of the old lady and Lin Mocheng.

The old lady hurriedly said, "Good daughter-in-law, you are a golden branch and a jade leaf. When you see the emperor, you have to respect your father. How can you let Qinru serve tea to break the rules. Qinru should serve you tea."

As she said that, the old lady said to the eldest lady with a solemn expression, "Qinru, do you understand? The rules cannot be broken, and the royal rules must be followed. Although you are the first wife, you still need to be respected by the princess. Hurry up and offer tea to say hello!"

The lady was trembling with anger, she never expected, going around, Zhang Qiqin not only didn't need to offer tea to herself, but he had to offer tea to her instead.As soon as she entered the mansion, she really gave herself a blow, how should she live in the future?
Although she was not convinced, the other party brought out the royal rules, the royal rules were too big, not to mention herself, even the old lady dared not disobey.Didn't Suxian say just now that according to the royal rules, even the old lady and Lin Mocheng had to bow down to Zhang Qiqin.It's just that Zhang Qiqin deliberately avoided it.However, she didn't say that she would waive her courtesy, but the old lady even opened her mouth in person. It seems that this cup of tea should be respected even if it is respected, and it should be respected if it is not respected...

The eldest lady got up and took the teacup from the woman serving tea, and walked towards Qiqin reluctantly. When she came to her, she said in a very low voice, "Sister, please drink some tea." Even so , but an old face was wrinkled in one place, wringing so much that water was almost squeezed out.

Qiqin took the teacup generously, and Yingsheng responded with a smile, "Sister, you are so polite, we will be a family in the future. We need to watch over and help each other, and work together to take care of the master's backyard and share his worries."

The eldest lady twitched the corners of her mouth, and her smile was uglier than crying, "What my sister said is that we sisters will have to share the master's worries in the future."

The eldest lady offered tea, and the third aunt was a concubine, so it was more reasonable to offer tea and kowtow.

Seeing that the eldest lady was devastated, without the old lady's reminder, San Yiniang had already got up, and walked towards Qiqin with a teacup, "Qiaojuan offered tea to Madam."

Third Auntie did not kneel down, but slightly bent her knees, Lin Mo snorted heavily, "Hmph! Unexpectedly, in the year and a half since I left the house, the rules in the backyard have been messed up! It seems that death is not an option! "

Third Aunt's legs went limp immediately, and she knelt down heavily, "Madam, please have some tea."

"Hehe, Third Aunt is so polite, get up and talk." Qiuqin also took the teacup, sipped it slightly, and responded with a smile.

Next, Lin Zhilan, whose face was covered with a veil, and Lin Ruxue, who was silent, stepped forward to serve tea in turn, and there was no surprise.Qiuqin also rewarded some items to her sisters in turn.

The incident that happened in the morning meeting, although the old lady ordered the servants not to talk too much afterwards.However, there are still slaves who have a broken mouth and quietly spread the accident that happened at that time, embellishing it.

All of a sudden, the wind in the mansion changed drastically. Everyone knew that although the eldest wife was the first wife, her status was not as good as that of the new Mrs. Qin.The one who supports Mrs. Qin is the current Holy Majesty, who dares to disrespect?
As for Lin Mocheng's side, I don't know if it's because Zhang Qiqin is the deceased wife and sister. In short, he spends the most time in Dongyuan. Even the servants were jealous.

On this day, Suxian came to Qiqin's room when her father was leaving the residence, and joked as soon as she entered the door, "Father is not in the residence, so Qian'er finally has a chance to have a good talk with mother. "

"Hey, you girl, you don't have a good shape. It doesn't matter if the master is in the house or not. If you want to come, it's hard to be pulled by someone else." Qi Qin heard the deep meaning in Suxian's words, and her cheeks Reddish lightly reprimanded.

"Hehe, no one dares to pull Xian'er, it's just that it's inconvenient for Qian'er to come." The smile on Suxian's face became wider.

At this time, Qi Qin's smile was reduced a lot, and she said a little uneasy, "According to the master doting on me, I should be happy. But when I thought about how the eldest lady and the third aunt were neglected because of this, I It makes me very ashamed.”

When mentioning the eldest lady, Suxian immediately lost her good face, and said bitterly, "Mother, there is no need to feel guilty, this eldest lady is not a good stubble, she is sorry for you, and I have too much place for you. You are newly married, you should Be pampered, don't bother with her at all!"

Seeing Suxian's blunt words, Qi Qin said in surprise, "The lady is not a good person. I can tell from the morning appointment on the second day of the wedding. But if she says that she is sorry for you and me, it's not true. What kind of statement is it?"

Suxian looked around and saw that the servant was waiting in front of the door, but not in the room, so she immediately got up and closed the door, leaned forward, and whispered in Qi Qin's ear for a while.

The more Qi Qin heard it, the more amazed her face became, until finally, she was full of strangeness, and turned into a look of resentment, "Xian'er, are you serious?"

"Xian'er dare not speak nonsense. There is already evidence for this matter. It is just that the source of the thick wood juice cannot be found for a while. However, Qian'er asked An Nanhou to investigate this matter that day. Who helped the lady behind the She can get such a rare medicinal herb. The doctor said that the trees and grasses are produced in exotic lands, and it is extremely difficult to find them in the Central Plains. I believe that she, a woman in a deep house, has no way to find this harmful thing. !” Suxian said through gritted teeth.

"What a cruel thought. Unexpectedly, the eldest sister's death back then was not due to illness, but was murdered by an adulterer. If I don't avenge this revenge, I swear I won't be a human being!" Zhang Qiqin shouted angrily, with a chill in her eyes, "Xian'er, there is no need for this matter. There is no longer any delay. Marquis Annan has spent a lot of time investigating. In the past few days, you should send someone to the Marquis's mansion to inquire if there is any result."
