Chapter 16: Is This a Fool?
"Grandma has arrived!" The little maid guarding the second gate of the main courtyard was fast, and when she saw the figure of Jing Wushuang and the others, she had already slipped into the main hall to report the sound, up to the old lady and the old lady Qin, and down to the three-year-old son of a cousin of Qin Ruixi, all of whom stretched their necks and looked at the door.
In the distance, Qin Ruixi's jade hairpin was tied up, and his clothes were more and more lined with red lips and white teeth, even if he knew that he was not intellectually adequate, he immediately made most of the little daughters-in-law and eldest girls who stayed in the main hall to watch the excitement blush; Staring at Jing Wushuang, who was carefully held by him to enter the door, his eyes were a little envious and jealous.
Jing Wushuang's dress today is also really hard work, yesterday's wedding team carried her dowry to Cheng's house, fortunately, when she got married, she had a lot of jewelry on her head, and there was also a red palace dress in the suitcase, the palace dress was complex and exquisitely patterned, and she only needed to insert a pair of gold silk inlaid rubies on the bun to complement each other. Jing Wushuang's skin was delicate and fair, with goose egg face, apricot eyes, and red lips, and he restrained the flamboyance on his body, and he looked like he had a luxurious atmosphere that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman could not have, and slowly entered the main hall step by step from the steps in front of the main hall, and the hall was silent.
Xi Niang has been sent away yesterday, and now only Mama Hu plays the role of Xi Niang, guiding a couple of newcomers to come to Old Lady Qin and Old Lady Qin first, "Grandma, this is the old lady and the old lady in the house, you should follow Young Master Xi to call grandfather and grandmother." ”
Now that even the emperor doesn't care whether the princess's mansion is occupied by doves or not, Jing Wushuang naturally doesn't want to touch anything, patted the back of Qin Ruixi's hand, and Ying Ying knelt down. It's strange to say, Qin Ruixi, who was jumping around like a monkey in the past, was looking around, but when he was slapped by Jing Wushuang, he looked upright, and knelt down in front of Jing Wushuang, "Grandfather, grandmother, please drink tea!" Seeing that the teacups of the two old men had just touched their lips, he couldn't wait to add again, "Grandfather and grandmother tell my daughter-in-law to get up, don't kneel on her legs." ”
"......" Old Lady Qin and the old lady made a move, and the sip of tea that had just been drunk in their mouths almost didn't squirt out again, and the people next to them also laughed and teased Qin Ruixi, "Young Master Xi has only been married for a day and knows how to love his daughter-in-law." ”
The word "daughter-in-law" may sound disdainful to a noble family like the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion, but the Qin family and the Yuan family can barely be called a squire, not only does this title not feel ridiculous but also a little kind, coupled with Qin Ruixi's nervous appearance, it suddenly dispersed the faint hostility that many people had towards Qin Ruixi and his wife before.
"Grandma, this is Young Master Xi's father and ......" Qin Zhi drank a few more glasses with his friends yesterday, and now his eyes are still misty, he is Qin Ruixi's father and easy to introduce, but Yuan's wife, Hu Ma, who serves as a concubine, is unwilling to let Qin Ruixi and Jing Wushuang kneel down to her.
"Mama Hu, where is Princess Ronghua's tablet? According to the rules of our Daqi Dynasty, not to mention that Ruixi's mother is the princess of my Daqi Dynasty, even the title of this original wife cannot be desecrated, even if you can't go to her spirit to worship, you should also invite her old man's tablet to come to the main hall to receive a gift. Speaking of this, Jing Wushuang suddenly turned to Qin Zhi, "My father-in-law is familiar with the laws of my Great Qi Dynasty, and he must know the laws and regulations of my Great Qi Dynasty, I wonder if my daughter-in-law is wrong?" ”
Qin Zhi, who was dizzy, was named by Jing Wushuang, and subconsciously twisted his body and sat upright, he hadn't read the law or anything carefully, but seeing that Jing Wushuang said it so reasonably, it must be reasonable, anyway, it's just a matter of bowing down and drinking a cup of tea, and it's better to go to sleep when it's done earlier, why bother worrying about a problem here and delaying time; waved his hand, "You, go, please come out of the princess's tablet, hurry up and don't grind." ”
He had already spoken, even if Mrs. Yuan was so angry that her liver hurt, she had to tremble her voice and let her subordinates do the same, all that was left in her ears was the laughter of those relatives behind her.
But the matter is not over here, taking advantage of this intermission, Jing Wushuang said again: "Father-in-law, Ruixi is the eldest son of the princess's mansion, and living in the Summer Palace is indeed convenient for the people around him to serve him, but there are too few people in the Summer Palace, I don't know if the daughter-in-law can pick a few more from the accompanying room to serve?" "Jing Wushuang listened to what Mama Hu said, I didn't think about stabbing Mrs. Yuan's deduction to Qin Zhi before, Qin Zhi is pedantic and has a good face and sells his reputation, and he will not let it go, the key is that there are people from Mrs. Yuan around both the Summer Palace and Qin Zhi, there is no way to get close to him on weekdays, and finally have the opportunity to fight for some benefits for the Summer Palace, Jing Wushuang will definitely spare no effort, not to mention that she has a trick.
"This is a matter of your yard, so I won't talk about it." Qin Zhi is not a stupid person, he knows that the economy in the house has been anxious all these years, so he naturally does not want to spend money.
"In this way, I hope that Mrs. Yuan will borrow my dowry list to take a look, and I can also know which rooms the second aunt has prepared for me!" There are two copies of the dowry list, one is given by the woman to the man for inspection when the dowry is over, and the other is brought to the husband's house with the dowry. Now that he has gone to the Cheng family with the dowry, Jing Wushuang must know it first if he wants to get the dowry back. It stands to reason that she should have seen the dowry list when she entered the door yesterday, but Mrs. Yuan received her mother-in-law gift but seemed to have forgotten to clean it, so Jing Wushuang wanted to invite the tablet to serve tea.
"I didn't bring it with me, so I'll just come down and give it to you." Mrs. Yuan's face was about to stiffen. Yesterday, she was happy to take the dowry list and want to count the income, who knew that she didn't see anything valuable. Although she can't come to the door with the list and question her good cousin in person, she can find someone to ask for some benefits with the dowry list. Unexpectedly, Jing Wushuang moved really fast, and she was going to have a dowry list overnight, did she think she was still the favored daughter of the head of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion?
What the daughter-in-law wants, she has to get it by all means! Qin Ruixi's eyes lit up, and it was finally time for him to protect his daughter-in-law, but his daughter-in-law also said that he must pretend to be an adult outside, and he can't be coquettish or spilled. Tilting his head and scanning the people in the hall, Qin Ruixi didn't find an adult who let him learn, but Qin Zhi still remembered the appearance of Qin Zhi ordering his subordinates to move the tablet just now, so he frowned slightly and waved his hand to Mrs. Yuan, "You, go, take out the dowry list, act quickly, don't be slow." ”
I have to say that the child's imitation ability is really good, Qin Ruixi is so careful, ignoring his clear and agile star eyes, and living a handsome version of Qin Zhi. When he didn't know who muttered, "Ruixi doesn't look like a fool!" ”
But isn't it, from entering the door this morning to the present, although Qin Ruixi's appearance is not stable, but it is definitely not as stupid as the rumors in the house, what kind of untidy clothes, nonsense, jumping up and down, is that the handsome and extraordinary person in front of him, who speaks in a well-organized manner?
