Song Ziqing took Yao Keqing to wander around the Guogong Mansion until dinner before going to the room, and the horse said with some reproach, "Why did you go for so long!" ”
Song Ziqing frowned and didn't speak, Yao Keqing said, "It's all my fault, I saw that the four words 'Yi Bo Yuntian' inscribed on the plaque hanging at the door of the ancestral hall are strong and powerful, and the structure is exquisite, quite like an extremely famous calligraphy and painting master two hundred years ago, Mr. Xu Lin'an, who is a bit of an eye-catcher, was stunned for a while, and it was too late!" ”
Ping Guogong praised, "Have a vision! This word is exactly what Mr. Xu wrote for my Song family at the invitation of Gaozu at the beginning of the founding of the country, and it is Gaozu's recognition of my Song family! It's rare that you can recognize it at such a young age! ”
Mrs. Song Si smiled, "My niece is stronger than us!" When I came back from worshipping with my lord, my father asked what was written on the plaque at the door, but my daughter-in-law didn't answer! ”
The second young grandmother also smiled coquettishly, "It's not! Later, I quietly went to read it again to remember, but I don't know the origin of this word! It's still the fourth brother and sister! ”
Yao Keqing said it casually, just to prevent the horse from embarrassing Song Ziqing, but he didn't expect that there was a story about this word.
Ping Guogong asked people to take a piece of jade pendant with auspicious patterns of dragon and phoenix and gave it to Yao Keqing, "For so many years, no one has answered my question correctly, you are the first, this jade pendant is yours!" ”
Yao Keqing glanced at Song Ziqing, and when he nodded, he took the jade pendant, "Thank you, grandfather!" ”
Yao Keqing was about to hand over the jade pendant to the orange to collect, but he heard the second young grandmother say with a slightly sour voice, "This jade pendant is not an ordinary jade pendant, it is a seal, with which it can go to any shop under the name of the Song family to withdraw less than 20,000 taels of cash!" The four brothers and sisters are going to be put away, but if they are lost, they will suffer! ”
Yao Keqing secretly thought, it turns out that this jade pendant is worth here! No wonder when Pingguo Gong gave him the jade pendant just now, everyone looked at him with a strange look.
Zhan sneered and laughed, "The dowry of our four young grandmothers is rich, and they have married dozens of shops, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the annual income is not to mention this number!" Zhan's index finger crossed and compared a "ten", "20,000 taels of silver are nothing to the fourth young grandmother!" ”
The second young grandmother choked, but her face flashed with surprise and envy.
The Zhan family went to the Yao family to be hired, and when the Yao family's dowry was sent, she also had a purpose, so it can be seen that what she said was true, but Yao Keqing frowned slightly when she heard it.
She has personally seen the dowry prepared for her by the Yao family, except for two Zhuangzi and a field in the suburbs of Beijing, the others are 10,000 taels of silver and some furniture ornaments, etc., the shop and the field are all the dowries of her biological mother Fang, but she obviously divided her mother's dowry into two, she took part of it, and the rest was left for her younger brother and handed over to Mama Yao for safekeeping! Shouldn't half of the dowry be so much?
Yao Keqing had already said about the distribution of his biological mother's dowry, and Song Ziqing was also stunned when he heard Zhan's words at this moment, but he instantly thought of her eccentric younger brother, so he said in a low voice, "Go back and ask Ah Shen, maybe he did it!" ”
Yao Keqing thought about it, it was really very possible, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, her younger brother was really good, even she dared to deceive!
The meal was arranged, the men and women sat separately, the eldest princess occupied the top seat, and the rest of the women sat at the lower table.
But I heard the old lady An suddenly say, "The new daughter-in-law enters the door, and my old bones can enjoy two days of happiness!" The bride reads well, and she is literate and hyphenated, but I don't know how this woman's moral rules are learned? ”
On the second day of the wedding, Yao Keqing had to set up rules, and he usually started to make rules after returning to the door, and the old lady was a grandmother, and there were three daughters-in-law sitting below, so she asked a granddaughter-in-law to make rules, so how could these three daughters-in-law be embarrassed?
Zhan Shi hurriedly stood up and said, "If your mother doesn't dislike it, let your daughter-in-law serve you!" ”
Ahn insisted, "Sit down! I'm going to test the rules of the bride today! ”
Zhan sat down helplessly, and looked at Yao Keqing apologetically, Yao Keqing knew that An's didn't like her deliberately embarrassing her, but she had lived two lives, never made a mistake in the rules, and was not afraid of An's pickiness, so she got up and prepared to go to An's.
At this time, the eldest princess suddenly spoke, "There is a mother, but the mother is old, and she has to eat a meal comfortably, and the daughter-in-law of Qing is a newcomer, and she doesn't understand her mother's preferences, how can she serve her well?" As for testing her rules, it's up to Bengong to do it, after all, Bengong is her serious mother-in-law, isn't it? ”
Although she called the old lady her mother, she also called herself the palace, and the eldest princess's words made the old lady dare not refute.
After speaking, he beckoned to Yao Keqing, "Daughter-in-law Qing, come here!" ”
Yao Keqing walked past the old lady to the eldest princess's table without squinting, took the chopsticks in Lian Mama's hand, and stood straight behind the eldest princess.
The old lady who had been dismissed stared at Yao Keqing's back angrily, eager to burn a hole in her back, Zhan stood up and stood behind An Shi without saying anything, "It's still a daughter-in-law to serve the mother, if the mother doesn't agree, she will dislike the daughter-in-law!" ”
Zhan Shi gave a step, and An Shi hurriedly got down, "Who dares to dislike you!" It's all for you today! ”
After a meal, Yao Keqing didn't make the slightest mistake, and even the amount of food he took every time was just right, even Mama was amazed, she, who had served the eldest princess for so many years, could only do this.
After the eldest princess rinsed her mouth, she went to drink tea on the side, and didn't let Yao Keqing follow to serve, "You're tired all morning, hurry up and eat some to cushion your stomach!" ”
Yao Keqing had no choice but to sit down, the girl immediately added food to her, and the eldest princess sat alone, and many dishes were not touched, which was much better than the almost all leftovers eaten by the Zhan family on the side.
Sure enough, after eating, the eldest princess didn't stay for a moment, and immediately got up and went back to the princess's mansion, and the concubine was left by the Duke of Pingguo to discuss things.
The eldest princess walked in the middle, Song Ziqing and Yao Keqing hugged her left and right, and the eldest princess said as she walked, "I had some festivals with the old lady back then, and the old lady was reprimanded by Zongzheng Temple!" So the old lady has always disliked me and Qing'er, you are Qing'er's daughter-in-law, so I don't like you anymore, today everything is deliberately difficult for her, don't take it to heart! ”
Yao Keqing nodded, "Listen to your mother!" ”
The eldest princess said, "We don't pay attention to the rules in our house, and we never set rules, we just eat, we don't get together, everyone eats where they want!" As for you, you only need to take care of Shuangqingyuan in the future, take care of Qing'er's daily life, don't worry about my side, I have Lian Mama and Gong Mama here, everything is in order! ”
Don't even want her to make rules? Yao Keqing subconsciously glanced at Song Ziqing, Song Ziqing smiled, "Mother has always been easy-going, saying that there is no need to make rules, it is really not necessary to make rules!" ”
Yao Keqing also laughed, "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows!" ”
