Chapter 337 Rectification
After sitting for a while, someone outside called the old lady to arrive, Li Niang stared at the door curtain intently, slightly excited, this is the Dinghai Shenzhu of the British Mansion, the first object she needs to attack after marrying in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The curtain was opened, and an old lady with a solemn face and a smile in her eyes came in with a cane, not the black and gray wind that Li Niang expected, the dark red cotton robe was embroidered with delicate auspicious ruyi patterns, and the meticulously combed bun was also wearing luxurious gold jewelry, and the crested head on the hairpin trembled as if it was about to flutter its wings and fly high.
A proper rich old lady is not at all like a person who squats in the Buddhist hall all the year round.
Li Niang was secretly happy, and then glanced at the reactions of the others, except for Zhang Xin, who was calm and happy, the others all looked like they had seen a ghost, and Mrs. Liu's etiquette was really well learned, and her surprised expression flashed, and her expression changed in seconds.
Everyone stood up, and after the old lady sat down, her eyes found Li Niang, looked at it sharply, and when she said that, she turned her head and stopped looking.
A maid brought a cup of tea, Zhang Xin and Li Niang kowtowed to the old lady, changed their name to grandmother, the maid handed the tea tray to Li Niang, the knuckles were pinched white, Li Niang looked at her with deep meaning, the wide sleeves were flicked and dragged, and the tea in it was very quickly replaced.
Fortunately, my mother Ji has told many stories in the mansion, and my sister-in-law Lin Cuiping has also taught a lot of tricks.
Zhang Xin, who was kneeling beside him, blinked, Li Niang didn't know if he had seen his action of changing the water clearly, and he couldn't care so much at this time, so he hurriedly passed this tea ceremony safely, and went back to talk about other things.
"Grandmother, please have tea."
"Good boy."
The old lady took the teacup, her brows furrowed slightly, her face did not change and she took a small sip to her mouth, and then pulled out the brightest crested hairpin on her head and inserted it into Li Niang's head, and there was a low cry around her.
Needless to say, this thing must have a special significance, Li Niang sincerely kowtowed and thanked her, thinking that she would give the old lady steamed vegetarian buns to eat tomorrow.
The old lady's actions showed her satisfaction with this marriage everywhere, so the eyes of the people in the room looking at Li Niang with a smile, what is the truth, let's ignore this stubble.
The second cup of tea was given to the British couple, the two maids brought tea over, Zhang Xin's expression was normal and he saluted his father, and Li Niang's cup was still hot, not changed, and was given to the vicious stepmother.
The teacup that burned to death, Li Niang took it and it was fine, and when Mrs. Liu reached out to pick it up, she quickly glanced at the maid, thinking that the little girl was disobedient, but who knew that when she received it, she threw it out with a low cry.
"Madame, be careful!" As soon as Li Niang stretched out her hand, she took the teacup in her hand to avoid an accident, and then she raised it high again, "Li Niang is young and ignorant, if there is something wrong, please bear with Mrs. more." ”
Everyone sees it, you are doing something, and you don't want to do it in front of the old lady.
Mrs. Liu can't say that she is bitter, the teacup is burning to death, needless to say that the maid is resolutely carrying out her orders, but why is it okay for Molly Niang to take it, shouldn't she be scalded until the tea cup is broken? Why is the result completely different now!
The British duke had already drunk the tea from his son, and when he saw that Mrs. Liu was still hesitating not to accept the teacup, he was also angry and shouted angrily: "Madam! ”
Mrs. Liu had no choice, she stretched out her hand tremblingly, and her expression relaxed when she touched the teacup, haha, after delaying for so long, the cup was not hot, so she took it and sent it to her mouth and took a sip, and her face changed instantly, but everyone was staring at her, and her mouth was burning and she couldn't make a sound.
She smiled a little hideously, with a gesture of her hand, a maid tray stepped forward, with four female books on the plate, she endured the pain and said: "When you arrive in our Guogong Mansion, you must strictly abide by the rules, no longer be as loose as in the boudoir, take good care of the prince, and open the branches and leaves early." ”
"Mrs. Xie's teachings." Li Niang kowtowed and took the four books, the maid tray came to take it, and a few broken books were placed on the side of the crested hairpin, looking extremely shabby, but Li Niang smiled very happily, and spoofed this slut once, and felt comfortable.
Next, I recognized three more uncles, but the aunts all temporarily changed their gifts, either gold hairpins or gold bracelets, and Huang Chengcheng was piled up with trays, which made Mrs. Liu even more ingenious.
When it came to the juniors below Zhang Xin, Li Niang shouted Chi Niangzi, Chi Niangzi and two maids came in with two trays, Li Niang gave love to the elders, the old lady got a Buddhist scripture, the material is not trivial, the sun seems to shine, the words inside are neat and tidy is written by gold powder mixed with ink, the old lady opened it and looked at it without letting go.
And because of the full preparation, more than a dozen children got a handful of tricks or cute or elegant gold bills, most of them happily called sister-in-law, but the three of the big house are different, Zhang Ji got a good ancient inkstone, Zhang Wei got a piano score, but Zhang Ting is a "Female Commandment"!
Zhang Ting cried angrily on the spot, threw the "Female Commandment" to the ground, and ran out with tears in her eyes.
Zhang Ting's maid picked up the book and chased it out in a panic, and the old lady stomped on her crutches with a calm face: "Open the meal!" ”
In the warm pavilion of Chunhui Courtyard, breakfast has already been set up, and the family has a table, sitting in a reunion, but there is one less Zhang Ting in the big room.
Li Niang stood behind the old lady, ready to set up rules to serve the old lady for dinner, but the old lady nodded her chin, "The old lady can still move, I don't need you, go sit down and eat." ”
"Thank you grandmother for your kindness." Li Niang beckoned Xia He to come over and put a plate of vegetarian buns she made in front of the old lady and the British duke. "This is Li Niang's steamed vegetarian bun this morning, filled with cabbage, salt and soybean oil, I hope it will meet the appetite of my grandmother and grandpa Guo."
Zhang Xin sat on the old lady's right hand, and he reached out and sandwiched a bun for the old lady, "Grandmother, the buns made by Li Niang are delicious, you will definitely like them." ”
The old lady didn't believe it in her heart, someone had already told her how Li Niang made steamed buns, just such a simple thing, how delicious could it be? But this face should be given to the eldest grandson, so as not to make it difficult to eat.
At the entrance of the bun, the old lady's face remained unchanged, but she said to the British: "Your daughter-in-law's filial piety, taste one." ”
The tone of the command, the British duke did not dare to disobey, but after eating, he was as quiet as the old lady, and quickly ate another one, the mother and son ate one after another as if they were in a game, Zhang Xin quickly grabbed two and distributed them to himself and Li Niang, but the other three were stunned, and when they wanted to know why this bun was popular, the plate was already empty.
The old lady was about to leave after eating, and the children and grandchildren all got up to send each other, and when she heard Li Niang tell the maid to send the remaining plate of buns in the food box to the Buddhist hall, the old lady left with a smile on her face. (To be continued.) )
