Chapter 175: Meet the in-laws
Qiu Ruyi originally thought that An Shicheng had already gotten up and gone out, so he thought that he just took care of himself and didn't ask himself to get up, causing himself to be so ugly on the first day of his wedding, and at this time, all the girls in this room were his own, so he complained.
She has always been light and does not talk about people behind her back, she didn't want to complain about her husband on the first day she married into the Guogong Mansion, she was arrested, and she suddenly felt embarrassed.
An Shicheng rarely slept lazy, he didn't expect to oversleep on the first night of the wedding, he was quite annoyed in his heart, seeing that Qiu Ruyi was complaining, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and Qiu Ruyi just smiled at himself flatteringly, even if he was very angry, he was all gone, and at this time he smiled and said: "The hour is not early, no matter how much you complain, it is useless, but it will delay time, it is better to freshen up quickly, and it is serious to go over to your parents as soon as possible." ”
When Qiu Ruyi heard this, he suddenly felt reasonable, and hurriedly groomed in the mirror, on the one hand, he was ashamed of underestimating An Shicheng's belly.
Xing'er and the others explained while helping each other: "Master and young lady don't have to worry, Mrs. sent someone early this morning: Gongzi and young lady went from Shunyang City to the capital yesterday, and after a day's journey, their bodies must be tired, so they don't have to rush to wake up early in the morning." That's why the slaves and maids didn't bother the master and the young lady. ”
When Qiu Ruyi heard this, her heart was a little relieved, she was glad that she had a considerate mother-in-law, but she also thought that she got up late today, and it was not all because she was in a hurry yesterday that her body was tired, and she couldn't help but blush.
Furthermore, although the mother-in-law looks considerate. Qiu Ruyi didn't dare to take it lightly, and still hurriedly cleaned up with the girls.
An Shicheng had cleaned up early in the morning, but it was not good to go out alone, so he sat aside and watched Qiu Ruyi make up, barely passing the anxiety in his heart.
After hearing Xing'er relay her mother's words, An Shicheng was also a little weak in his heart, and saw Qiu Ruyi's neck and earlobes gradually turning pink, knowing that she must have thought of what happened last night, he was full of charm, so he just sat there and didn't say a word.
Qiu Ruyi finished freshening up. Get up and go out. turned his head and saw An Shicheng sitting there, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and said secretly: I'm really a nerd, this critical juncture. I still have the mind to sit there in a daze.
Don't look at Qiu Ruyi, who quarreled with An Shicheng many times in the past. There has always been no scruples. But deep in Qiu Ruyi's heart, he was more or less in awe of An Shicheng because of his erudition, but after last night. I don't know if it's because the two of them are too close, which makes Qiu Ruyi's heart relax, or because of this, he has become ordinary and real in Qiu Ruyi's heart, in short, now Qiu Ruyi can basically let himself look at him levelly.
No, Qiu Ruyi was like being in his boudoir, walking out of the house, and said to An Shicheng without looking at it: "Hurry up and go to the main courtyard, it's too late to look good." ”
An Shicheng had come back to his senses at this time, and he didn't feel any different when he heard the words, he got up and strode out of the room, and the husband and wife walked out of the small courtyard one after the other.
An Shicheng walked in front, although he was also anxious, but because he had to take care of Qiu Ruyi and other women's steps, and he wanted to show his own calmness, he didn't dare to go forward too quickly, but in Qiu Ruyi's eyes, he felt that An Shicheng was acting too gently, so the past was definitely wrong.
Qiu Ruyi thought about it like this, became more and more anxious, lifted the corner of her skirt, caught up with An Shicheng and said: "Hurry up, you are so unhurried, when will you be able to walk to the main courtyard, let your parents wait." ”
An Shicheng looked at Qiu Ruyi, who passed by him while speaking, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
The Great Chu Dynasty has always advocated that women should be humble and docile in front of their husbands, and most women will be half a step behind their husbands in order to show respect for their husbands.
The ordinary people don't pay much attention to these things, but the wives of rich and noble families want to show their knowledge and etiquette, and this situation has become conventional.
An Shicheng has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he reads and reads pedantic, so this is a normal etiquette, at this time, when he saw Qiu Ruyi behaving like this, he felt a little uncomfortable, but this is a very opportune time, and An Shicheng did not want to waste his lips and tongue so as not to delay time, so he had to speed up his pace and rush over.
Xing'er and Chu'er looked at each other in the back, and then quickly caught up, first saluted An Shicheng, then took two steps, and whispered to Qiu Ruyi: "Madame has already sent someone over to tell me, and I don't care about this half-star time, but Miss is walking as fast as flying, the time is a little longer, and her hair and clothes are messy, and it is rude in front of her in-laws, but it is worth the loss." ”
When Qiu Ruyi heard this, he couldn't help but "oops", and said repeatedly: "I'm really in a hurry, I can't prioritize my actions, fortunately you reminded me, otherwise I would really make a fool of myself in front of everyone." ”
Qiu Ruyi slowed down, trying his best to relax his anxious mind, trying not to make people see the panic in his heart.
An Shicheng had already dissipated most of the unhappiness in her heart when Xing'er saluted: since her girl could know etiquette like this, it was the result of her teaching, but because things were different this morning, she was too anxious, so she acted out of proportion.
Later, seeing that Qiu Ruyi was as he expected, An Shicheng became more and more discouraged, but worried that Qiu Ruyi would be in a hurry, so he rushed forward in two steps and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry, your parents are kind people, and they will not be difficult for you because of today's incident." Besides, the law does not blame the public, what punishment is there, and I am by my side, everything has me, don't worry. ”
Qiu Ruyi got a few words from An Shicheng at this time, and he was like a dry field sprinkled with rain, and he felt a lot of comfort in his heart, and when he looked at An Shicheng again, he felt that he stood in front of his body and became tall and tall, as if there was a big storm in front of him, he could protect himself.
With this cognition, Qiu Ruyi's heart was stable, and his expression was calm and calm along the way, and all the servants in the house couldn't help but secretly admire: Madame is really as wise as a torch, and she can actually pick out a young lady from the countryside who is not inferior to the daughter of a family in the capital.
Qiu Ruyi, who finally walked into the main courtyard, asked Xing'er secretly when he entered the courtyard gate: "Is my hair and clothes still neat?"
Before Xing'er could speak, An Shicheng glanced at it and replied on his behalf: "It's very proper, don't worry, just follow me, there is me." ”
Qiu Ruyi smiled when she heard this, took a deep breath, and followed An Shicheng into the hall.
As soon as Qiu Ruyi walked into the hall, he saw Lu Guogong and his wife sitting in front of the hall, and his brother-in-law An Shimao had already come over.
Qiu Ruyi became more and more embarrassed by his tardiness, but An Shimao saw his brother and sister-in-law enter the door, and hurriedly got up and saluted An Shicheng and his wife seriously.
Because he did not officially meet with his husband's family, Qiu Ruyi owed a little to answer the courtesy, but muttered in his heart, poor An Shimao was young, and under the influence of his brother, he also became old-fashioned, fortunately, when he met himself, there was still a glimmer of novelty on his face, otherwise he would really be like a little old man.
In the end, it was the first time to come to greet her in-laws, Qiu Ruyi didn't dare to be careless, her mind just flashed, and she gathered all her energy to deal with the situation in front of her.
Speaking of which, there is nothing difficult, after the girl in front of the hall saw the two of them enter the house, she quickly laid a big red brocade mat in front of Lu Guogong and his wife, An Shicheng and Qiu Ruyi walked over and knelt down to worship their parents and in-laws, the girl handed over the tea bowl, and the two served it separately.
Lu Guogong and his wife took the tea bowl with smiles on their faces and said yes in succession.
Lu Guogong also admonished An Shicheng that he had already started a family and started a business, and he would have to shoulder the responsibility on his shoulders in the future, and he must not let down his parents, wife and children.
Duchess Lu Guo also had to teach Qiu Ruyi, but because she thought that she was now a family, she was much more kind to Qiu Ruyi than before.
Qiu Ruyi's opinion, and the secret luck in her heart became more and more secret, and for a while, the girls stepped forward to help Qiu Ruyi and saluted An Shimao.
After everyone saw each other, the girls and daughters-in-law came in with food boxes and fish, and after setting up the meals, everyone sat down in order.
Qiu Ruyi is a bride today, so she stood aside and set rules with knowledge and interest.
Everyone in the house saw it and was satisfied, but An Shicheng knew that Qiu Ruyi didn't eat much yesterday, and he made a fuss for a while last night, and because he got up late this morning, he couldn't make up for something in advance, but he was afraid that he would be hungry at this time, but unfortunately the rules were like this, and he didn't want her to sit down, so he just looked at Qiu Ruyi distressedly.
Qiu Ruyi Zhang Luozhong saw An Shicheng's eyes just follow her, and immediately felt embarrassed, for fear of being seen as a joke, so he quietly raised his eyes to look at everyone's expressions.
Lu Guogong just sat at the table like a grandfather, and really didn't care about this detail, as for Mrs. Lu Guogong, she just smiled and watched Qiu Ruyi act, seeing her consciousness, she was qualified, and then beckoned to Qiu Ruyi: "You sit down to eat, there are girls to serve, besides, you just entered the house, how do you know what everyone likes to eat." ”
Qiu Ruyi said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law is not hungry now, and it is clear that I am standing here and watching them cloth." ”
Duchess Lu Guo said with a smile: "The days will be long in the future, if you are not filial piety, hurry up and sit down to eat, and then enter the palace to thank the Queen Mother, don't delay the hour." ”
Qiu Ruyi sat down to eat according to her words, she was already a little hungry, at this time looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, and then smelling the fragrance, she had already become very hungry, fortunately her mother-in-law was compassionate, otherwise she was really afraid that when she made the rules, her stomach would be hungry and growl, which would make people hear indecent.
During the meal, Qiu Ruyi didn't dare to be as relaxed as in Qiu's house, and only dared to eat one or two dishes in front of her, but it was Duchess Lu Guo who gave a detailed introduction to the meals on the table, and asked the girl to give Qiu Ruyi again and again.
Not only Qiu Ruyi couldn't resist her mother-in-law's enthusiasm, but even Lu Guogong's father and son were also deeply puzzled, and looked at Duchess Lu Guogong several times. (To be continued......)
