In the middle of winter, there are magpies with long tails chirping on the branches covered with thin snow.

Joy on joy, the eldest daughter's family came by coincidence, and they were able to catch up with such a big happy event as the second daughter's appointment, Chen Rujun and Murong Ling naturally smiled and closed their mouths, and ordered people to go to the gate to greet them quickly.

The Marquis of Kangping knew that Chen Xinhua and his wife had made great contributions when Jiangyin was in chaos, and he intended to pick up Xia Yuzhi's future brother-in-law Cui Yao, and smiled at Chen Rujun: "The father and daughter of the in-laws are reunited, and today is double happiness." Let's wait for a while, waiting for the aunt and grandmother to arrive home, and the younger generation of brothers can also borrow this cup of wine to get closer. ”

Hearing the voice of the Marquis of Kangping, Xia Yuzhi, his face was slightly red, and he naturally bowed down to receive his life.

The status of the two sons-in-law of Chen Fu is as different as today, Cui Yao only has the fame of a person, and he has never been a jinshi. Xia Yuzhi is already the general of Qianlong Wei and the uncle of His Majesty's imperial seal today, but Xia Fu mentioned Cui Yao very politely, without the slightest contempt.

Chen Rujun was convinced when he heard this, and he confessed to everyone, and then ordered someone to pass on the message, and ordered the carriage to be directly welcomed into the second gate, and asked the eldest daughter's family to quickly freshen up and rush to the flower hall.

While speaking, Chen Xinhua took the carriage to Sangyu Hutong, looking at the traffic at the entrance of the alley, thinking that his sister would rely on her for life, and she was very happy.

The little girl from the house was smart, and on the way, he told Chen Xinhua about the happy news of today's second girl's employment through the curtain. Hearing that Xia Yu's BMW is light and valuable, the dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight is very rich, and it is also the queen mother's marriage and the lintel of the two mansions, Chen Xinhua is overjoyed, and he can't wait to step into the house and share the joy of his sister.

Hearing his father's words on the second door, Chen Xinhua didn't care, but Cui Yao's eyes lit up, joy, apprehension, inferiority, and nervousness, all kinds of emotions came to his heart, and he clenched his fists nervously.

Brother Duan'er was tired all the way, and was directly taken down by his mother to rest, Chen Xinhua and her husband hurriedly freshened up, changed into auspicious clothes, and came to the door of the flower hall.

Chen Xinhua was led by the girl, passed through the corridor on the side, entered directly into the flower hall from the corner door, first bowed to her mother Yingying, and then greeted the ladies sitting one by one.

I haven't seen each other for a year, and when I was separated at Yangzhou Wharf last winter, the eldest daughter looked haggard, which made Murong Ling very worried. Looking at it today, he looks good, wearing a warm yellow silk cotton jacket embroidered with folded branches and begonias, and the outer head is covered with a sunset red moire collar buckle silk placket, which is lined with Chen Xinhua's face like powder, and he is a bright person.

Murong Ling took his daughter's hand, and wanted to say countless words that wanted to shout and ask for warmth, but in the face of today's guests, he only asked with a smile: "Are you tired on the road?"

Chen Xinhua replied with a smile: "It's okay on the road, only the child is a little tired, so I asked the nurse to lead him back to rest, and after the banquet, I will ask him to kowtow to the ladies." ”

Looking around, I knew that Chen Zhihua naturally avoided in the boudoir and never came out, only Chen Yinghua accompanied her mother, smiled and stepped forward to salute the eldest sister, and the two sisters hugged each other tightly.

When he saw Murong Wei, Chen Xinhua's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, revealing a friendly smile. Thinking of the responsibility of this princess cousin when she visited Yangzhou in the past, a few words changed her status in Cui's mansion, and the two became a little closer than before.

Wen Wan and Xia Lanxin both had a relationship with Chen Xinhua in Yangzhou, and now they also come to greet each other. Chen Xinhua knew that the gentle and good time was approaching, and congratulated her with a smile.

In the old years, when he was in Beijing, Chen Xinhua occasionally walked around the mansions, and the daughters-in-law of the Hu family and several princes' mansions were old acquaintances, and they had met the elders, and the handkerchiefs of Su Ri also came over to greet them one by one.

Hu pulled her to sit beside her, and everyone naturally greeted each other and counted their feelings carefully. Reunion after a long absence, but also added joy to today, most of you sitting in the house in the middle of the feed, this year is not easy to withdraw, each of them about to meet in the first month.

Cui Yao was led by the little maid and went directly to the front of the flower hall. Along the way, Cui Zhen has overcome Fang Cai's inferiority complex, and even a trace of timidity towards Chen Rujun has been left behind. He straightened his back, straightened his whole body in royal blue Hangzhou silk, and walked into the flower hall without humility or arrogance.

What Chen Rujun can make friends with is naturally first-class in the DPRK and China. Cui Yao also hesitated when he came, but now that his father-in-law is in a high position, Chen Xinhua has suffered a lot of grievances in Cui's mansion in the past, for fear that his father-in-law will beat him on his behalf.

Today, seeing that his father-in-law openly ordered him to attend the banquet and sat at the same table with Xia Yuzhi, he naturally didn't have any guilt in his heart, and secretly thought that he really spent his father-in-law's belly as a villain.

Cui Yao has already made up his mind to follow the path of the imperial examination, and naturally wants to enter politics in the future. I am fortunate enough to meet a few adults today, and this will be a precious treasure in the future.

He followed the little maid into the flower hall, first bowed to Chen Rujun, and then under the guidance of Chen Rujun, he saluted all the adults one by one, which was very dignified and respectful.

Cui Yao's face is like a crown of jade, he is born rich and handsome, and he is a Sven character. Chen Rujun is in good spirits on happy occasions, looking at his son-in-law who was not responsible enough in the past, and today he also feels much kinder.

The Cui family was in a dilemma between a pair of concubines that day, and refused to openly support Chen Xinhua, Mrs. Cui was just confused, but fortunately, there was no big evil, Chen Rujun was in line with the principle of family harmony and prosperity, and did not want to settle accounts after the autumn.

Especially when I heard that on the way back to Yangzhou from Huaizhou that day, Cui Yao was desperately protecting his daughter, which showed deep affection. Chen Rujun listened to the words of the Marquis of Kangping, and was even more interested in pulling in his son-in-law.

Tang Ge Lao, Hu Ge Lao, Shen Daren, Wei Shangshu, these important ministers of the court, have a strong friendship with the two old mansions. Today, I went to Xia Mansion to congratulate myself, and then I came to Chen Mansion to receive this glass of wine.

Celebrities gathered, Cui Yao listened to Chen Rujun introduce himself one by one, the big people who could only hear about Su Ri, how could he have thought that he would have the opportunity to see it with his own eyes and get closer to him.

Cui Yao was in a fog for a while, only to feel that his heart was beating suddenly, and his two feet were like stepping on a pile of cotton wool, and he was a little dizzy.

He made up his mind, took a deep breath, and stood beside Chen Rujun without being humble or arrogant, learning to treat people and things with good students, and helping to greet guests. Xia Yuzhi had the intention to bring this brother-in-law in the future, and specially introduced several young generals in the Qianlong Guard and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and greeted Cui Yao.

Cui Yao stood tall and elegant, and quickly overcame the little crampedness at the beginning, and stood in front of people thoughtfully and generously. Leaving Chen Rujun's side, he dared to say a few words of greeting with several officials, and even bowed down to answer Tang Ge's inquiry.
