A few days later, Xue Qianxun came to the house to pick up Tang Qing'er to go to Xue's mansion, Tang Qing'er was wearing a coupling-colored gauze dress, her eyebrows were thin, and the hair ornament on her head was simple, only a jasper hairpin.

Standing outside the gate and looking at the word Xue Mansion on the plaque, Tang Qing'er was shocked, although he knew that his family was very rich, just those two big characters, looking like they were inlaid with gold, and when they entered the main hall of Xue Mansion, it could be said that they were splendid, and they were not comparable to the small courtyard of her house at all.

Tang Qing'er followed behind Xue Qianxun and asked in a low voice, "The decoration of your house is too exaggerated, right?"

Xue Qianxun said: "I don't feel anything good, why don't you look warm in your house?" ”

"Yes," Tang Qing'er said with approval.

Tang Qing'er followed Xue Qianxun to greet the old lady of the Xue Mansion, and Xue Qianxun knocked on the door softly: "Grandma, I brought your granddaughter-in-law." ”

Mama Tao opened the door softly and said, "The young master is becoming more and more fond of joking now." He greeted Tang Qing'er again: "Miss Tang is good." ”

Xue Qianxun said lightly: "Mama Tao, where is your greeting to her, it should be her greeting you." ”

This can be regarded as relieving Tang Qing'er's encirclement, and she quickly said: "Mama Tao is good,"

Mama Tao smiled and said, "Miss Qing'er is so real to torture the old slave. "I had a lot of intimacy when I called Tang Qing'er, and I changed from Miss Tang to Miss Qing'er.

Mama Tao led the two to the old lady, and the old lady Xue leaned on the kang and said to Xue Qianxun: "Finally, I know that I brought my daughter-in-law back and let us take a good look." ”

"It's all my fault, I'm late." Xue Qianxun said slowly.

Tang Qing'er hurriedly saluted the old lady and said, "Hello grandma, it's the first time I came to the house, I don't understand some rules, and I hope you Haihan." ”

Old Mrs. Xue smiled and said to Ah Tao: "Look at this girl, she said it so literally, where is the pungent granddaughter-in-law in my grandson's mouth." ”

Tang Qing'er didn't expect Xue Qianxun to describe herself like this in front of her grandmother, her face was red and she didn't dare to look up at the old lady, and cursed Xue Qianxun in her heart: "How dare this big-tailed wolf say anything,"

Xue Qianxun walked up to his grandmother and said, "Grandma, don't tease her anymore, you will be angry with your grandson in a hurry." ”

When Mrs. Xue saw it, she accepted it: "Okay, grandma won't say it, Tang family girl, come over and let me take a closer look at you,"

Tang Qing'er walked slowly to the old lady, her little hand was rubbed by her hand, and she only heard her say: "In the future, you must treat my family Xun'er well, he has had a hard time all these years." ”

This is the second time Tang Qing'er has heard this, last time it was his mother who told her about the warm house at home, and today is counted again, she couldn't help but look at Xue Qianxun, and he smiled at himself, Tang Qing'er suddenly felt that her heart was warm.

After a while, Shen came over, Tang Qing'er greeted her, Shen was even more heartily happy when he saw Tang Qing'er, and said to her: "Don't leave at noon, I'm going back after eating at home,"

Tang Qing'er nodded and said yes.

Shen sighed: "In the past, you were in Tangjia Village, Xun'er ran there every day, and it was difficult for me to see each other, but now that your family has moved to the town, I want to see Xun'er every day this time, but it is even more difficult, closer to you, and not home." "The Shen family deliberately ridiculed his son in front of Tang Qing'er.

Xue Qianxun's face turned red and said, "Mother,"

Shen waved his hand and said: "Knowing the Dao, knowing the Dao, if you don't let me say it, I won't say it." Tang Qing'er's face turned crimson by the Shen family, and she lowered her head and stirred the silk handkerchief.

Ah Tao led the maid to come over with pastries, Tang Qing'er saw that it was all her daughter's favorite things, such as quiches, milk nests, sugar steamed cheese, osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cakes, Tang Qing'er couldn't stand Shen's persuasion, picked up a piece of milk nest and ate it, it tasted really good, better than the pastry shops in the town.

Tang Qing'er accompanied her to talk to Shen at Mrs. Xue's for a while, and then the two were afraid that Tang Qing'er would be bored in the house, so they asked Xue Qianxun to take Qing'er to visit the courtyard.

Xue Qianxun took Tang Qing'er to walk in the courtyard for a while, the sun was still a little scorching, he just walked for a while and wanted to rest for a while, just passing by the pavilion, Xue Qianxun took Tang Qing'er to the pavilion to take a rest, and by the way, he looked at the scenery in the house, who expected to meet Xue Ning sitting there.

Xue Ning was surprised to see the eldest brother bring a girl over, the eldest brother had never brought a woman by his side, so this should be the village girl in Tangjia Village, and he couldn't help but sneer in his mouth.

Xue Qianxun lightly introduced Tang Qing'er: "Qing'er, this is my sister Xue Ning, Xue Ning is your future sister-in-law, Tang Qing'er." ”

Tang Qing'er greeted Xue Ning with a smile, but Xue Ning ignored her very much, Tang Qing'er didn't care, anyway, she was all polite.

Xue Qianxun couldn't help frowning and said, "Why are you so unruly, this is the attitude when you see guests." ”

Xue Ning snorted: "What do you say to someone, a rural village girl wants me to greet her with a smile, isn't this demeaning my identity?" What's more, when I am my sister-in-law, does she have this qualification? ”

Xue Qianxun's face was not good: "What is your identity?"

Xue Ning's face turned pale and said, "Big brother, what do you mean by this," the eldest brother asked himself, wasn't he telling himself that she was a concubine, and she had no status in the family.

Xue Qianxun took Tang Qing'er's hand and said, "Let's go and have a look elsewhere," Tang Qing'er didn't bother to pay attention to the mad dog in front of her, and she didn't provoke her, but she bit herself.

Xue Qianxun took Tang Qing'er to his study, Tang Qing'er saw that his study was ordinary, there were some accounts on the desk, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were neatly placed, there was a vase next to the desk, and the vase was like a rolled-up picture scroll in a modern TV series, guess it wouldn't be the calligraphy of an ancient master, see Xue Qianxun standing by the window of the study and looking at the scenery outside, quietly picked up the rolled up picture scroll and opened it to see, but he didn't think that it was the person in the painting who was actually himself, the heat on his face slowly fluttered, and he couldn't confidently ask himself, is she so beautiful in the painting?

Xue Qianxun never heard Tang Qing'er speak, looked back at what she was doing in the house, didn't expect her to look at the painting she had drawn for her, and when she was excited, she walked up to her and said, "Why do you touch my things casually." ”

Tang Qing'er raised her eyebrows and said: "This is your thing, the person in the painting is me, I didn't say anything, you are so excited," I have known Xue Qianxun for so long, he is always talking and laughing when he encounters anything, I have never seen him so flustered.

Xue Qianxun carefully rolled up the painting and gently put it in the vase, seeing this move, Tang Qing'er would be fake if he was not moved.

Tang Qing'er didn't bother with this matter either, and asked: "You tell me the character of everyone in your family again, otherwise it will be really embarrassing to meet someone with the personality of your eldest sister next time." ”

Thinking that Tang Qing'er would become a member of the Xue family sooner or later, he was bound to understand the interests, hobbies, personalities, etc. of the family, so he sat at the table and said: "My grandmother, my mother, my father, you have all seen it, my father has three other concubines, Guo's, Zhao's, Liu's, in addition to the baby that Aunt Guo is now carrying in her belly, she also has a child, that is, Xue Ning, who you have just seen, the two of them have similar personalities and temperaments, Aunt Zhao gave birth to two daughters, Xue Shi and Xue Qing, they have a relatively mild temperament, Aunt Liu died of difficulty when she gave birth to her little sister Xue Yi, So Xue Yi grew up beside my mother since she was a child, and her relationship with me is also the best. ”

At lunchtime, Miss Xue Fu went to Mrs. Xue's to eat, Tang Qing'er and Xue Qianxun were already sitting at the dinner table, and the maids served the meals one after another, four light side dishes: pickled green cauliflower, chicken shredded white fungus, jade shoots bracken, crab meat and double bamboo shoots; Four hot dishes: stir-fried white mushrooms with beef tenderloin, spicy hoof tendons, fresh peaches, three fresh dices, and freshly boiled rice porridge with a variety of noodles such as hazelnut nuts and shrimp dumplings.

During the meal, Mrs. Xue said to Ah Tao behind her: "Go and bring the jujube wine brewed by Qing'er's family, I am happy today and want to drink a few sips." ”

Shen shook his head and said, "Mother-in-law......"

Old Mrs. Xue smiled at Shen and said, "The first time my future granddaughter-in-law comes to the house today, let me have a few sips, right?" He reluctantly beckoned the maid to bring the wine jug up, poured a glass of wine with his own hands, and fed it to his grandmother.

Since the marriage, Xue Ning has always been against her family unusually, and she lost no time in saying: "Grandma, didn't you say that big families are not allowed to talk when they eat?" Now because there is a guest in the house, the rules of the house are broken. ”

Old Lady Xue said with a smile on her face: "You say that you are a rule I set, so what if I want to break it?" Don't forget who calls the shots in this family, and who counts what they say. ”

Xue Ning was taught by her grandmother in front of these people, and she couldn't eat angry food, but she didn't dare to drop her chopsticks and leave, so she could only sit and sulk.

Tang Qing'er noticed that except for Xue Ning's bad face, the other three young ladies of the Xue family were very comfortable and ate without knowing anything.

Xue Qianxun put down his chopsticks and said slowly: "If you don't want to eat, go out, don't affect others to eat." ”

"Big brother, just for an outsider, why do you treat me like this," Xue Ning had tears in her eyes, when she was young, her eldest brother was good to her, but the older she was, the more cold she became.

Xue Qianxun frowned, and said in a colder and colder voice: "Outsider, she will be your sister-in-law in the future, how can she be an outsider, if you say an outsider, you have to marry in a few months, then you are a real outsider." ”

was so angry that Xue Ning didn't care if he was in his grandmother's house, dropped his chopsticks and ran out of the house angrily.

Tang Qing'er sighed in her heart: I didn't expect to come to the Xue family to cause such a big turmoil, this Xue Ning was afraid that he would hate himself to death in the future, so he softly persuaded the old lady Xue who was angry: "Grandma, don't be angry, it's all my fault,"

Old Lady Xue's face eased, and she said gently: "Okay, let's not be angry, let's hurry up and eat, don't pay attention to her!" ”

The three young ladies of the Xue family who were left on the table immediately understood Tang Qing'er's status in her grandmother's heart, and they didn't dare to underestimate this future sister-in-law, so they all looked up and smiled at her.

On the whole, Tang Qing'er couldn't swallow this meal, but she was afraid that the old lady and aunt would see it, and her face kept showing a delicious look.
