4. Chapter IV
After a while, Song Qingyi's mother's voice was a little surprised, "Is it Duanjin?" Why don't you come in quickly. The mother's voice was elegant and calm, with a hint of guilt and joy.
Song Qingyi naturally knew what her mother was guilty about, thinking that her parents and children would be forced to marry a male wife, but she would be forced to do so. It's just that Song Qingyi, who woke up again, naturally doesn't blame her mother.
Helping Qi Runyun to take a step, Song Qingyi answered loudly, and after the front yard, there was a vigilant maid in front of him who had already opened the curtain in the main hall.
When I entered the main hall, I saw that in addition to the mother on the main seat, there were several aunts and uncles scattered below, and the sixth aunt who answered the conversation before was only in the last seat because she entered the door late.
Song Qingyi didn't pay attention to the others, but just let go of Qi Runyun's hand and made a gesture to the loving mother on the main throne. "Mother." Spit out the title that has been cold for many years, Song Qingyi did not show it on his face, but his heart was shocked. When his father and mother were there, he was the only son-in-law in the family, and he was loved by thousands of people, where would he care about this soft title, at most, he called his mother, and then took care of his own affairs, but now this mother's kiss reminded him of the disappointed and sad eyes of his mother before the death of his mother in the previous life, his eyes darkened, and Song Qingyi quickly lowered his head.
The old lady Song who was seated was stunned for a moment because of Song Qingyi's title, and then showed a pleased smile, "Duan Jin'er has made a child's gesture today, this is to take the daughter-in-law to show the treasure in front of her mother?" Originally, Mrs. Song couldn't ridicule her, after all, she personally ordered the helper in the cave room yesterday, and she was really worried that she would face her son's resentment on the second day. Now the son is accompanied to ask for peace, and he spit out the "mother" that he has not heard of for many years, although he doesn't know the reason, but obviously the son doesn't blame her.
Old Madam Song looked at her son with love, and the quiet and handsome daughter-in-law standing next to her son-Qi Runyun has been in the Rite Garden for fifteen years, and it is naturally impossible for Old Madam Song not to see it, but she loves her son and feels that the wife marrying a man always buries her sister-in-law, so although she may not make it difficult for Qi Runyun, she also doesn't like this person, so she has never looked at this person carefully. But right now, the son personally accompanied him to ask for peace, which is the greatest face and pity for the wife in the etiquette of the husband's family, coupled with the change of the son for unknown reasons, Mrs. Song naturally loves the house and dislikes it, and looks at it carefully.
People are quiet, temperament is not bad, although the facial features are not delicate enough, but they are also handsome and pleasant, but they are a little quiet and silent. Old Madam Song nodded silently, and asked the maid next to her to set up a seat for Song Qingyi and his wife.
Soon after sitting down, the maid who came with Song Qingyi and them served two trays, one of which was filled with white bowls from the official kiln, boiled melon slices, and the color was green; The other pair is the same bowl, but it is a slip of five, and the color is light green - this is the daughter-in-law tea that Qi Runyun wants to give to the elders.
Because Song Qingyi accompanied her all the way, Mrs. Song smiled at Qi Runyun's daughter-in-law and took the gift bag, obviously without any difficulty, so the remaining aunts and uncles naturally understood that the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family was recognized by the inner court, and they didn't make it too difficult, so they drank the tea very happily and handed over the gift.
It was only when presenting it to the sixth aunt - the person who had mocked her when she entered earlier - that Song Qingyi still noticed the resentment that flashed in her eyes.
According to the rules, as the daughter-in-law of the main house, Qi Runyun only needs to kneel down to give tea to the mother-in-law of the main house, and the rest of the mother-in-law and uncles only need to bow down to present the tea bowl, and there is no need to make such a big gift in the future, after all, the difference between the concubines and the concubine is still very respected in the family that respects the rules. And it is not difficult to guess where the "resentment" of the six aunts comes from at the moment.
The corners of Song Qingyi's mouth hooked coldly, there was no look, something that was not self-sufficient! When I raised my eyes, I saw a flash of disgust in my mother's eyes.
After the tea ceremony, the new daughter-in-law's wedding is over, and then she will accompany the elders in the last seat, only wait for lunch, and serve her mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law and then go back to her own yard to eat. It's just that Song Qingyi is present at this moment, and he knows Qi Runyun's discomfort, so he naturally doesn't want him to spend a morning on such a boring scene, and he has to stand up for the rules with a hungry stomach, not to mention that although his father also has male concubines, there are not many, and they are not taken seriously, and he will not attend with his mother and aunts for a while, so it is somewhat embarrassing for Qi Runyun to stay and serve.
Therefore, with a little trickery, Song Qingyi smiled and mentioned to her mother that Qi Runyun was tired last night, and she wanted to rest today.
However, Mrs. Song saw her son's tricky appearance that she hadn't had for a long time, and although she was puzzled by the change in her son's attitude, she was also happy to see it, thinking that maybe after the cave room last night, she always let him pay attention, so she happily exempted Qi Runyun's rules and let the little couple go back to their own yard.
The back and forth between the mother and son naturally fell in the eyes of the others present, and the previous rumors that the so-called wife was not favored could be broken without attacking, which was also Song Qingyi's idea.
And Qi Runyun, who had been quietly saluting and serving tea according to the rules, still didn't say much after retreating to the side, and seemed calm and calm in the face of some unexpected scenes in front of him, only occasionally a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes to show a little thought in this person's heart.
By the time these back and forth rules were over, it had been more than an hour since the two returned to their yards. Song Qingyi looked at Qi Runyun, who was sweating a little lightly on his forehead, "Lie down and rest, I'll go see my father first." I subconsciously wanted to wipe his sweat, but I felt a little abrupt, so I just left this sentence and withdrew.
Song Qingyi, who turned around and walked out, naturally didn't notice that after hearing his words that he was going to see his father, Qi Runyun's eyes darkened, and finally he didn't say anything, just stood by the door and watched Song Qingyi quickly walk away......
