Chapter 208: The Bride

The red silk tent is warm, and it is turned into a red wave.

The phoenix crown was neatly stored next to the cabinet, and the golden embroidery thread and bright hanging beads waited quietly beside it. And the curtain of the lotus pattern separates the inner room, and the candle with the thickness of the baby's arm flows all night, illuminating the room with ambiguous light and full of joy.

Hui Zhi got up early in the morning.

Today is a good day for the bride to recognize her relatives, and Hui Zhi asked Xianfang to dress her up more festively.

Her face was originally more gorgeous, and she often wore plain colors such as smoky green and stamen green, but since today is a good day, it is better to dress up.

After all, it was the newlywed wedding of her brother and sister-in-law, so Hui Zhi picked a concubine-colored Hangzhou silk pearl buckle stand-up collar placket gown, accompanied by a blue Hunan skirt, embroidered with pink peony patterns on the skirt, covered with a pink Ruyi entwined branch lotus pattern long cloak, decorated with white jade jade flower buckles, agate beeswax headdress, looking festive, but not robbed of the bride's brilliance.

Different from the first time they met in the mountain temple, Xia Kun changed the woman's bun, neatly with a golden silk bun, red sapphire, beeswax, emerald and smooth and full rice pearls inlaid in the base of the red gold filigree, to make a set of blessing distractions and heartfelt hairpins, with palace-style winged butterflies inlaid with rubies on both sides to cover the temples. On the ears is a hexagonal palace lamp-shaped pendant ear pendant created by a skilled filigree master for a long time, which is exquisite, but only the size of a finger, and even Hui Zhi, who is used to seeing good things, looks at the pair of earrings on the ears of her new sister-in-law, and can't help but be amazed.

Qin Yuan was wearing a dark red straight jacket, with a smile on his face, and when he occasionally looked at Xia Xuan, his eyebrows were also very soft, and Hui Zhi only wanted to laugh when she saw it.

The two of them sacrificed to their ancestors, served tea and saluted, recognized relatives and sent gifts, and waited for the Wang family to pull Xia Kun to recognize the relatives who had sat on the second or third floor inside and outside the Qin family, and it was already noon.

The Wang family left Xia and Hui Zhi to dine together, and Hui Zhi just sat down. Seeing Xia Kun's wife standing on the side, she was about to reach out to get the hot towel held in the maid's hand, and Wang stopped her voice: "Cheng'an Hou Mansion has never had a new daughter-in-law serving a meal, and you are the wife of the Qin family." There is no shortage of maids in the house, and after a tired morning, sit down and eat together. ”

When Hui Zhi heard this, she went to sit down with Xia Xuan, "The vegetarian soup dumplings I made today taste very good, and my brother and I like to eat them." Sit down and have a taste. ”

Xia Kun's heart moved slightly, and she sat down with kindness.

After Xia Kun's wife returned to the door in the third dynasty, Hui Zhi went to Zhuqingyuan to find Xia Kun's wife to talk and chat, and then she felt - tsk, this daughter-in-law is different, and she reveals a comfortable life atmosphere everywhere. Originally, Qin Yuan liked to put swords on the wall, but now it has been replaced with calligraphy and painting, look at the appearance, the painting seems to be made by his sister-in-law, and the words seem to be mentioned by his brother. Hui Zhi smacked her tongue, the end is the deep love of husband and wife; now the Arhat in the Zhuqing Garden is Hui Zhi's favorite ornament, originally Qin Yuan's study also had an Arhat bed, the small table was full of books, and the cushion was paved with royal blue pattern satin; now the Arhat bed in the house, because it is still a new house, is placed with a scarlet embroidered peony auspicious Ruyi pattern of the big pillow, and the small table is placed with an embroidered screen and a tea set - oh, it is a rare set of Ru kiln rain azure tea set, the glaze is bright and fresh. It is suitable for playing with tea and drinking tea.

Xia Kun looked at Hui Zhi, who was slutting from time to time, and laughed at her, "After the New Year, spring has begun." You're also married--you're about to be seen, and I'll be able to see it one day, and I'm calling you here today to ask about the personnel in your house... I heard that you have been helping your mother manage the feed, and I have just arrived, so I can only learn from you. ”

Hui Zhi was eating the fresh freshness that Xia Xu's wife had just made. It melts in your mouth, the taste is long, you smack your lips, and you start to say: "As for me, I only help my mother take care of the kitchen, and sometimes the garden... There's nothing left on the side. ”

Xia Kun's eyes were bright, "In the courtyard of the deep house, the kitchen and garden are the most difficult to manage, so don't be modest." ”

Hui Zhi ate another piece of Yipin Crisp, but before she could swallow it, Xia Kun called Xue Qing beside her and said, "Go and make another box of Yipin Crisp, and bring it back for the sixth girl to eat as a supper later, and make a few more points, Madam, Mrs. Tai, and the two girls next to Mrs. Tai, all send some over." ”

Hui Zhi was satisfied with eating, patted the residue on her hands, Qiu Yun handed over a half-wet handkerchief and wiped her hands, Hui Zhi then spoke carefully: "The housekeeper mother in the big kitchen is Mother Li, the mother-in-law who is very trusted by the mother's side, the son of the Qin family, when the mother married in the early years, the person my father specially found was not only good at cooking, but also very capable, and my mother used it for many years, and there was never any problem." ”

If you want to say that you have been on a business trip, in fact, you have also been out, the time when Aunt Lin slipped at the beginning of the year, someone wanted to borrow oleander powder to plant it on her mother and herself, but she was recognized... This thing is ugly, so it's better not to say it.

Xia Kun's heart measured silently.

As soon as she got married, her mother-in-law would hand over the authority in her hands and take care of the children herself... That's a good thing. She's a clan woman again... The Qin family was extremely courteous to her, and on the way back, Qin Yuan told her, "Mother intends to hand over some of the middle feed to you, and help take care of it first", she was surprised and happy in her heart.

I was surprised that I didn't expect my mother-in-law to be able to let go of power so lightly, and I was happy that when she first got married, not only the husband and wife were harmonious, but even the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along very well...... It's really a blessing saved in the previous life. When she returned to Xia's house, none of the sisters in the family and distant cousins did not envy her.

Hui Zhi's words are clear - the person in the kitchen was personally selected by Cheng'an Hou for Mrs. Hou, and he couldn't move it lightly. Fortunately, Xia Kun's wife didn't have any competent manpower, so she only said: "Xueqing is the eldest girl next to me, and her mother is also the son of the Xia family, so she cooks good dishes, why don't you let her go to the kitchen to help with chores, and also learn from Mother Li?"

Hui Zhi nodded, this is fine, and then said, "As for the steward in the garden...... I don't care much about the garden, but a few days ago it was a little uneven, and the mother-in-law in the corner gate was not good to take care of, so I asked my parents to change the housekeeper of the garden, and the mother-in-law who watched the door also changed a batch... Thinking that I have just changed people, there will always be some omissions, and my sister-in-law has to pay more attention to the garden. ”

When Xia Kun caught Hui Zhi's words very carefully, her eyebrows and eyes drooped unconsciously-the garden is not peaceful, could it be that something happened?

"Mother said that I would meet the stewards in Jiamutang... Sister want to come along?" Xia Kun patted her hand, poured another cup of tea, and asked.

"Go ahead. Hui Zhi smiled back, "I'll go a few more times, and when my sister-in-law gets started, I can also be a hands-off shopkeeper - I used to ask for peace every day for half an hour in the morning, and after my sister-in-law worked hard, I could sleep early." ”

As she was talking, she saw Xue Qing hurriedly running to Xia Kun and knelt down in front of her, wanting to speak and stopping, Xia Kun saw her move, her eyebrows were horizontal, and her eyes were a little displeased, "If you have something to say, what are you doing?"

Xue Qing glanced at Hui Zhi, Hui Zhi smiled and didn't speak, Xue Qing had to stuff her head and said: "The pair of filigree lantern pendants that grandma wore on the day she recognized her relatives are missing......" (to be continued.) )
