Chapter 455: Tea Ceremony
Tian Liang's side chamber lady Erdet? Caizhu came to give tea to Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, and Yu'er.|Among every two people who watch romance, there is an account that has registered for XiaoΒ°Shuo.com. ~
Fu Jin gave her two maids, who were transferred from the pulp washing workshop to show good maids and cherishes, and brought tea to Caizhu. Tian Liang hid, and he had a lot of things.
"Daughter-in-law Erdet? Caizhu gave tea to his father-in-law. After speaking, he raised the teacup with his hands above his head, and then handed it to Mr. Chen, doing it calmly. She deliberately slowed down the speed to let the tea cool down, and the burn on her face was slightly lightened. Mr. took the teacup, took a symbolic sip, put the teacup on the maid's tea tray, and gave Caizhu a red envelope: "Leave a thought" Caizhu took the red envelope and kowtowed to Mr. "Thank you for your reward." β
Then he methodically poured half a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Chen: "Caizhu gives tea to my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law invites me to drink tea." With that, he raised his hands above his head again and handed it to Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen took a sip, put it on the tea tray, and gave Caizhu a red envelope, "Take it." β
Caizhu still took the red envelope and kowtowed to Mrs. Chen, and then walked two steps to the fish, with the same decent movements, suppressed a strong heartbeat, and said in a gentle voice: "Please Mrs. Tea." β
The teacup was taken, and the colored beads waited for the thunderous rage or the blisters on the face. I haven't heard anything from my wife for a long time. A red envelope is stuffed into the hand of the color bead. Caizhu hurriedly took it and kowtowed to the fish: "Caizhu thank Mrs. Xie for your reward!" β
Mrs. Chen has been observing Caizhu, and found that this girl is quite calm, her face is very beautiful, but she does not have a bewitching appearance, and she is quite puzzled: "Is it not good for such a girl to be worthy of the emperor?" How did you give it to the palace guards? β
"Madam, it's time for Miss Caizhu to go back to her room and rest." Mr. reminded.
"Oh, yes, Miss Caizhu will go back to her room and rest. You've just gotten married. In the future, I will communicate more with my wife, and we are the most filial. β
"Caizhu asked my mother-in-law to show me, I want to hear my wife's instructions on how to be a good daughter-in-law."
Although Yu'er was smiling, her tone was not so polite: "Then come here." β
After that, he left first. This is what Fu Jin taught her, to be imposing. But when Yun'er entered the mansion, Fujin didn't show Yun'er his momentum. In fact, these are all aimed at the Queen Mother, and they don't have too much demand for this Caizhu girl.
Caizhu only then knew that King Rui's Mansion was indeed a benevolent mansion. When they were in the palace, the palace ladies and sisters occasionally had leisure and gossiped about the palaces. Recently, I have been talking about how the Rui Wangfu is and how the side of the Rui Wangfu is doing. But Caizhu felt that there was no one with horizontal silk flesh on his face. All so amiable! The gossip mentioned that the head of the house was young, handsome and capable, but Caizhu never associated Tian Liang with the head manager, and thought that he was the personal guard of the prince's side.
From the Suzhou Mansion to the Feiyun Tower, it is a hundred and ten steps away, but if you turn left and right, you will still be confused by the colored beads. In particular, I went up a bunker-like staircase, and then entered a large courtyard, and the buildings in the courtyard were similar to those in the palace.
Yu'er said, "This is the residence of Fang Fujin. β
Caizhu wanted to scream: Fang Fujin's residence was actually better than the little master he served before! The corner tower over there is so beautiful!
followed Yu'er into the five-room matching hall on the west side of the Fujin Dormitory, and came to Tian Liang and Yu'er's room. Yu'er motioned for Caizhu to sit down, and Caizhu was sincerely frightened: "In front of Madame, where is Caizhu's seat?" β
"If you want to sit, you will sit."
"Thank you, ma'am. Caizhu is very sorry for the lady......".
"It was the Queen Mother who rewarded you to the Prime Minister, and you can't be blamed for this. But since you are here and enter the door of the Chen family, you have to be the daughter-in-law of the Chen family. The prince said: 'Home and everything is prosperous, and there is another sentence, the competition is insufficient, and there is more than enough.' So I hope the two of us don't get jealous of each other and make a miasma in the house. You may have heard that I am not from a high background, but if you want to bully me, you can't. Xianggong is the brother of Fang Fujin, don't you know yet? Fang Fujin still has a place in front of the prince. "The fish still has a bit of fudou potential, let's deter it first, who knows if this sudden Caizhu girl is an expert in fudou?"
"Madam, please rest assured, what Caizhu is most afraid of is fighting her eyes, it is too tiring. You may have also heard that the emperor's concubines often played tricks with each other, and Caizhu almost became a scapegoat several times. Therefore, Caizhu will never be jealous with his wife, she just wants to do some needlework quietly and serve her husband and wife well. In the past half a month, I have learned several kinds of fabric art in Fujin, and I like Caizhu very much! I really want to make fabric for the rest of my life. β
"Not really, after all, you are a woman who is a husband, not a maid and a grandmother in the house, and you will not be so strict with you. But if you like to do it, no one will object, these fabrics are a part of the prince's business, and they are sent to the agency store in the house to sell if they are done and the inspection is qualified. There's also your share in it. β
"Madame means that if the work done by Caizhu passes the inspection, there is still some remuneration?"
"Naturally, yes, the prince is a member of Buddhism, and he is very benevolent, and none of the maids, grandmothers, eunuchs, and servants in the house have been boarded, slapped and whipped. If you do something wrong, you will be punished, but you will be punished for a few hours and deducted for two or three months. β
"Caizhu has a confusion, I don't know if I want to ask my wife?"
"You want to ask why the husband's surname is Tian, and the master's surname is Chen, right?"
Caizhu nodded sheepishly.
"I'll make a long story short, when Xianggong was born, he was replaced by his eldest aunt, and later felt that he had lost money, and began to abuse Xianggong, and her nurse persuaded her to beat her nurse, and ordered the nurse to throw Xianggong into the field to feed the wolves. This nurse still has a good conscience, and she entrusts her nephew to become a monk herself. Later, the concubine son of the uncle's uncle told him about it, and the prince sent the guards in the house to help find the prince and the nurse, and it took a lot of trouble to find the prince by the side of the old lady. By the way, you don't know yet, I came to serve at the cloud master when I was ten years old. It was also a big family before, but my father was a young master, who was suppressed by his brother, and died before he was thirty years old, and then the two uncles sold our mother and daughter to a butcher in Zunhua County, this is an unscrupulous person, our mother and daughter were abused, and then my father-in-law rescued me, so I followed Miss Chen at that time as a maid, and then became a dowry and entered the palace with her. At that time, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen regarded me as a daughter and my husband as a son-in-law. Raising our daughter before we even recognized our son.
Caizhu listened to it thrillingly, it turned out that Xianggong still had such a tortuous experience.
Caizhu said: "Caizhu's father was originally a six-rank military attachΓ©, and once said a fair word for a third-rank military official when he committed the crime of embezzlement of ink, but he was dismissed and went home, and soon went crazy. His brother and sister-in-law were not filial, Caizhu was still in the palace, and no one took care of him, so he fell into a well and drowned. What else does a color bead have to come from? Tears flowed down his face. If it weren't for the six-rank official that my father was, I wouldn't have entered the palace to suffer those crimes.
Yu'er handed a handkerchief to Caizhu, and tears of sympathy appeared in her eyes.
Caizhu also knew that Xianggong had no intention of taking a concubine at all, but the Queen Mother gave Caizhu to him, did Caizhu dare not agree? But when Caizhu saw Tian Guard, she liked him immediately, so she would serve him with her life and would never do anything unfavorable to him. β
Yu'er's dislike for this Caizhu is not as strong as Tian Liang's, and she is quite sympathetic to her after hearing Caizhu's life experience.
"Looking at my sister as if she is a kind-faced person, I really hope that we can get along well. But I told my sister that Xianggong is not very talkative, let alone flattering, a little stubborn, you will slowly get used to him, maybe you will get used to it after a long time. Xianggong treated me very well, we have a daughter, and now we are pregnant with another one in our womb. This time may make my sister work hard and serve her husband well. β
Caizhu wanted to wail very much, but she didn't dare to say what Xianggong was serving without even touching her fingers, so she could only say, "Madam! No matter what your background is, after all, you are the wife of your father-in-law, and before you come to Caizhu, Caizhu must respect you and serve you. Caizhu originally thought that you might hate Caizhu to death, who would have thought that you would be so good to Caizhu! β
"Why should a woman be difficult to be a woman? If you can keep to yourself and do what you have to do in our big family, no one will embarrass you. I won't say much else, you will know how precious and beautiful this place you have come to is. The princes, Fujin and side Fujin in our house are all examples of abiding by the rules of the house, and the subordinates in the house have nothing to do with you pit me and me pit you. Which maid sister was rewarded by the master, and a few pieces of snacks should be broken back to the room for everyone to eat. There is work for everyone to do, and never watch others do it themselves. What's wrong with you, Aunt Caizhu? β
"Madam, the colored beads are touched! Do you know how those ladies in the palace get along? In order to climb up for themselves, they all want to trample others into the mud or even destroy them directly. Caizhu can come to the house, which life burned high incense? β
"Our house makes money for the emperor and sends it to the treasury, you know? All the people in the house are busy, and there are a total of 200 maids and grandmothers in the house, all of whom are learning to make cloth art from Master Yun, and sell them in the agency store after making them. Everybody is working this. It's been divided several times. Although there are not many of them, it is also a foil for the family, isn't it? β
"Is there such a good thing? Can I participate in the Colour Beads? β
"Of course you can, but you have to do it yourself, no one will pull you in. I'm suing you, it's not good for everyone to make money and leave you behind. When the class starts tomorrow, the teaching grandmothers will give a new class, so will you come and participate too? β
"Really? Are you sure? Can you really participate? β
"Yes, sister, I am one of the eight great masters."
"Caizhu kowtows to my sister! Please be worshiped by the disciples? β
"What is the kowtow, this skill is not passed down from my family, it was learned by Master Yun from the place where they traveled. You follow me to Master Yun, that is, Fang Fujin, go to her to get a set of tools, otherwise you won't be able to do the work, right? β
"I don't know how much silver and how many bundles you said the tool would need?"
"You know what? The materials supplied to the upper and lower levels of the palace were bought with the antiques of the cloud master, and they were sent to the maids and girls of the palace and the grandmothers of all grades for use, in order to sell the finished goods and send the money to the emperor's treasury, and the masters could not even get a copper plate. β
"But, but, ......," Caizhu wanted to say, "but the Queen Mother still has to send eyeliner to spy on you." β
Tian Liang's concubine gradually became no one to talk about, but many maids became fans of Aunt Caizhu. They envied Aunt Caizhu in their hearts, and they actually became the woman in charge of Tian. Several of these maids regard Tian Liang as their dream lover. Among them, Feiyun Tower's Yue'er maid is one of them.
There are 200 maids and wives in the house, including 150 maids, many of whom were given to the house by the Queen Mother, although they are not all beautiful, they are all with good facial features, can they be left behind after the draft? There are many beautiful ones. Yue'er is not from the palace, but she is very outstanding, very beautiful, and her figure and appearance are very similar to Master Yun, but unfortunately her background is too low.
A few days later, Nalan, who was investigating Caizhu, came back and reported the situation to Wang Ye and Fujin. The result is exactly the same as the color beads themselves. But there is another thing, that is, this Caizhu's brother is looking for her everywhere and wants to sell her to his daughter-in-law's cousin to pay off his gambling debts. His daughter-in-law also entered the palace to see the color beads according to the rules of the palace according to the rules of the palace, and saw the color beads when she entered the palace, but she didn't look at them, and asked other palace maids, and the other palace maids said that the color beads were married and went to the Rui Wangfu. Her sister-in-law was overjoyed when she heard this, and now she was going to be rich, so she sued Prince Rui for robbing the people's daughter. She also has a relative who is a lawyer, who can say that the dead are alive, and she can also say that the living are dead. ruthlessly scolding the Rui Wangfu is enough to spend his life.
As a result, Caizhu's brother and sister-in-law, under the repeated instigation of the lawyer, really went to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to beat the drum and shout grievances. As soon as Yin of Shuntian Mansion heard the complaint against Prince Rui, did he pay it back? Hurriedly put Caizhu's sister-in-law and lawyer in prison, and then sent a letter to the house saying that someone had accused the prince of occupying the palace maid. Thinking that the prince would definitely reward him heavily, Mr. Bai said to the messenger on behalf of the prince: "This palace maid was sent to our house by the queen mother." You ask the Queen Mother for someone, and the Queen Mother promises to release them, and we will release them. Bai Qi didn't even mention a word from Tian Liang.
When the two men heard this, they went back to the lawyer, and the lawyer said, "You are going to die stupidly." Won't it be said that the color beads are allowed to match others? Her father accepted the man's bride price. β
The two of them beat the drum again and shouted grievances, and said it again as the lawyer said. After all, Shuncheon Fu Yin is Fu Yin is not a fool, so he asked Chae-zhu's brother and sister-in-law when their sister was married. These two people are as brain-dead as Na Hong, and they say that they were fourteen years old. As a result, he was imprisoned by Shuntianfu Yin at that time. Caizhu has been in the palace for a year when she was fourteen years old, and she also received a dowry for the palace maid who had been in the palace for a year, which was regarded as a great rebellion. The palace maid is the emperor's woman, and hurriedly passed Lord Erdet to the court, and the master told SΓΉ Mansion Yin that this Lord Erdet had died. Fu Yin was furious and pushed the evidence to the dead, isn't this a trick on Lord Ben? Give me a board! Throw it out, and then beat the drum and sound the grievances, and send Ningguta.
The two of them also had to get the lawyer's idea, and the lawyer gave them a bad idea: "You will insist that the prince of Rui robbed the people's daughters, their house is doing business, and some of them have money, and they must be willing to spend money for the reputation of the prince." β
A gambler, a water-based Yanghua woman, beat the drum again for money, saying that the prince of Rui robbed the people's daughters and robbed their sister into the palace as a concubine. This mansion Yin is still waiting for the prince's reward, but these two scoundrels have framed the prince without knowing the depths, and they must uphold justice for the prince! Overnight to the emperor. The official of Shuntian Mansion Yin is more powerful than any other Mansion Yin, and he is an important Beijing official at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and he can directly see the emperor.
Some people say that the emperor's brother occupies the people's daughters, can the emperor give up? Needless to say, just look at the royal brother's business and think that he has money, so he blackmails him, to say that any royal family member may occupy the people's daughters with monstrous power, but the imperial brother cannot. Don't you give him a show girl, will you dominate the people's girls?
So he said to Shuntianfu Yin: "Exile these two people to Yunnan, and let them go and never return." As a result, Caizhu's brother and sister-in-law were convicted of false accusations and sent to Yunnan.
In fact, what they committed was really a false accusation, and this matter had nothing to do with the prince, it was the Queen Mother who gave the colored beads to Tian Liang. The emperor also wondered who the colored beads mentioned on the two people's papers were, and Wu Liangfu told the emperor that it was the side room that the queen mother gave to the head of Rui Wangfutian.
The emperor's forehead immediately hung a row of black lines: How can there be a mother's business here! angrily went to Cining Palace to quarrel with his mother, but his mother said that it was too hard to see that Mr. Tian, who had come to measure the size of the glass, was too hard, and rewarded him with a palace maid to make a side room. What is the accusation that Prince Rui robbed the people's daughter and beat him to death with a stick in the palace!
This time, I wronged my mother, and it is normal to reward a palace maid, as long as you don't get involved in the royal brother's business.
Caizhu is doing well in the house, although Tian Liang did not have a round room with her, it is also Tian Liang's justifiable side room. There is no board here, no punishment for kneeling, you can live with confidence, and Caizhu's heart that has been tense slowly relaxes. Every day she is learning to make cloth with Yu'er, her hands are still very skillful, and it didn't take long to keep up with the level of those maids and grandmothers in the house, and become a member of the cloth army in the house, Tian Liang's attitude towards her gradually improved.
