Chapter 389: Tea Ceremony

Outside the house, the ghost cried wolf, An Ruolan just pricked up his ears to listen, the noise stopped abruptly, and only the sound of hurried footsteps kept approaching.

She knew whose footsteps it was.

Her fingers subconsciously clenched her sleeves, she was nervous and expectant.

However, the footsteps stopped before the partition.

An Ruolan was slightly surprised, turned her head to look outside, and under the reflection of the candlelight, she saw a familiar figure standing behind the curtain.

I couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing standing outside?" ”

The reflection on the curtain shook, and the voice of the guard came from behind: "I, I'm standing, I've been sitting for a long time just now." ”

An Ruolan heard the sound of Xi Suosuo's clothes being arranged.

pursed his lips and smiled, and said deliberately: "Since you love to stand, then you have been standing there, I drank the wine alone and rested first." ”

Hearing this, the guard was in a hurry, and immediately lifted the curtain and entered the room, shouting, "I'm standing!" ”

An Ruolan couldn't help but smile and said, "Since you are standing, come and sit." ”

The guard blushed and sat down beside her obediently.

Glancing at the people around him, Wei Xing clenched his fists, and suddenly grabbed An Ruolan's hand. The warm and delicate touch of his hand made him sigh, and he seemed to sigh with emotion and joy: "Ruolan, we are finally married." ”

An Ruolan finally couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, but Wei Xing thought that she was also happy, her face turned even redder, her eyes looked at her straight, put one hand on her shoulder and said, "It's not early, let's rest early......"

Before he finished speaking, An Ruolan raised his hand to interrupt him. Said: "Not now, the etiquette has not been fully implemented." ”

With a high-five, a group of mothers-in-law and maids pushed open the door and entered. followed by the sisters-in-law of the guard.

Wei Xing was dumbfounded, isn't it directly in the cave room, what other rules are there?

I saw the maid kneeling down in front of the two with a red rope of scissors and a red lacquer tray with a weighing rod and weight, and the mother-in-law in red stepped forward and pressed the corner of An Ruolan's clothes to the placket of the guard's robe, and then picked a handful of the hair of the two and cut it off, tied it together with a red rope and put it under the pillow. smiled happily: "If you knot your hair, you will be concentric, and you will grow old together." ”

Then he put four scales on the four corners of the bed and said, "Satisfactory." ”

Wei Xing watched her mother-in-law busy with her work. He thought it was very funny, but he preferred the auspicious words of his mother-in-law.

After doing this, the mother-in-law stuffed the weighing rod into the hand of the guard, and said, "The groom official picks a hijab for the bride." ”

Wei Xing nodded. Use the tail of the pole to slowly pick up the red yarn on An Ruolan's head.

The face behind the red gauze slowly revealed in front of him. The shy, bright smile was more beautiful than anything he had ever seen, and Wei Xing couldn't help but be stunned.

The mother-in-law smiled: "This is also satisfactory, the groom is satisfied with the bride?" ”

"Satisfied!" Wei Xing did not hesitate.

An Ruolan blushed unconsciously, glanced at him with disgust, and only cared about silly music.

The sisters-in-law couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "It's all stupid, can you still be satisfied?" ”

Both were amusedly blushing.

I drank the wine under the guidance of my mother-in-law, and just put down the cup. Sister-in-law Wei said: "Okay, it's okay to lift the hijab and drink the wine." Get out of the way. ”

As soon as he pulled the guard away, squatted down and took off An Ruolan's shoes.

An Ruolan was startled and subconsciously retracted her feet.

Sister-in-law Wei explained: "This is the custom of my hometown, the so-called 'new shoes, new style', you marry into the Wei family, and you will have to act according to the rules of the Wei family in the future." ”

said that he changed into another pair of new shoes for An Ruolan.

An Ruolan understood and thanked in a low voice: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

The relatives of the Wei family came to attend the wedding, not to mention the fatigue of the journey, but also helped a lot, and this thank you is also deserved.

Hearing this, the sisters-in-law of the Wei family all laughed, and their impression of this brother-in-law changed from the noble Miss Shengjing to a kind and gentle girl.

Sister-in-law Wei quipped: "Teach you a rule, this is a change of lipstick envelope, if you call it now, you won't be able to take the red envelope." ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

An Ruolan heard that these sisters-in-law were all straightforward and bold people, and couldn't help laughing: "If you don't change your lipstick, you have to call it, of course it's better to have a red envelope." ”

These words made the sisters-in-law of the Wei family even more impressed, and they felt that this brother and daughter-in-law were not hypocritical and were also a cheerful person.

Seeing that a group of people were chatting energetically, Wei Xing was in a hurry at the moment, but he didn't know what to do, so he gritted his teeth and directly blasted a few sisters-in-law out of the door with a black face.

Ignoring the laughter and jokes of the sisters-in-law, the guard was on the bolt with a bang, which was much more reassuring.

This is a candle night in his cave room, how can he let other people take up time!

This time the gift is over, right?

Wei Xing quickly ran back to the inner room, and said with a calm face: "It's not early, let's rest early." ”

After a busy day, An Ruolan was hungry again, and just walked to the table to get some snacks to satisfy her stomach, and the guard picked her up and threw her into the bed without saying a word.

"Hey! I'll talk about it when I'm full and strong...... Yes! You used a torn dress that I spent months embroidering! Do you listen to people?! I warn you, if you go again- wow, help! ”

The sisters-in-law of the Wei family, who were still gathered outside the door and did not leave, listened to the muffled screams in the room with great interest, and smacked their tongues: "I didn't expect the little cousin to be so enthusiastic, look at this little voice." ”

Sister-in-law Wei said: "Ouch, I was shocked when I heard it, while the little aunt chased the group of dead ghosts and didn't come back, let's leave quickly, otherwise we won't have good fruit to eat if we are caught." ”

A group of people nodded in agreement, and the soles of their feet were smeared with oil.

River crabs crawl over***

When he opened his eyes, the sky was still cloudy, and the faint light spilled in from the window lattice with the big red word Xi, and fell on the candlestick full of red tears.

Crying and laughing, she was really tired and dizzy.

My throat was so thirsty that I moved my sore limbs, and I wanted to get up and pour a cup of tea to moisten my throat, but I found that my body couldn't move at all. When I lowered my head, I saw a strong and powerful arm imprisoned on my waist.

Shame and anger surged up instantly, and An Ruolan didn't think about it. A direct slap on the shoulder.

There was a "pop", crisp and loud.

Wei Xing woke up suddenly, sat up and shouted, "What's going on?!" ”

An Ruolan looked at her red palm, speechless and choked, is this called self-inflicted?

Wei Xing looked around vigilantly and quickly, and it took a while to react that it was a false alarm, and saw An Ruolan glaring at him angrily. He was consciously weak, and he did go a little too far last night.

Rubbing her reddened hands, he said distressedly, "It's still early." You will rest again. ”

Trying to divert her attention.

The body was uncomfortable, where could he still sleep, An Ruolan kicked him in the quilt, gritted his teeth and said, "You are not allowed to lie here." Get up for me! ”

That's just one action. She was so tired that she was out of breath.

If it was usual, the guard would definitely follow her, but now it is not good.

Hearing this, Wei Xing posted it instead, and flattered: "I won't quarrel with you, you can rest well, I'll watch you here." ”

"I can't look at it!" An Ruolan wrapped herself in a dumpling and continued to stare at him.

Wei Xing loves her to death. He smiled dotingly and said, "Then I won't look at you with my eyes closed." "I just closed my eyes and lay down again. Declare your determination.

An Ruolan gritted her teeth with hatred, kicked him a few more times before she gradually lost her breath, tiredness came up, and she couldn't care about the discomfort of shouting all over her body, she fell asleep.

Wei Xing let her punch and kick, and when she fell asleep, he directly stretched out his hand to roll the person into his arms, hugged her and closed his eyes in satisfaction.

When I opened my eyes again, it was bright outside the house, and the people around me were gone.

After being stunned for a while, An Ruolan slowly sat up, and just wanted to call someone in to serve, when the guard lifted the curtain and came in.

An Ruolan immediately turned his head.

Wei Xing pursed the corners of his lips at a loss, sat down beside her, and said in a low voice: "Still angry? ”

"It's not that I'm angry, I'm uncomfortable." An Ruolan had a straight face.

Wei Xing smiled and said, "I've already asked people to carry hot water to the room, I'll take you to wash?" ”

"That's pretty much it." An Ruolan immediately turned cloudy, naturally hugged his neck and asked him to hug himself.

Now she couldn't bathe herself, and she didn't bother to move.

Wei Xing's face was slightly red, and he rubbed her sideburns affectionately, and said, "It's good that you're not angry, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do." ”

An Ruolan pursed her lips and snickered, "You will listen to me in the future, and I will not be angry with you at all." ”

Wei Xing agreed, but still put forward a condition: "But we have to discuss major matters, and I will listen to you if you are reasonable." ”

"Of course that's fine." An Ruolan also agreed happily.

She doesn't care about any big things, she just cares about his little things!

The two looked at each other and both smiled with satisfaction.

After bathing, my body was finally comfortable, but I also missed the time for the tea ceremony.

Wei Xing comforted: "Don't care about this, my mother has already asked people to pass the word, so we are not allowed to quarrel with you, it doesn't matter if the tea is late." ”

An Ruolan was relieved at this time, but she still asked Liu and Bailing to quickly dress up for herself, and went to meet her parents-in-law with Wei Xing. She deliberately asked Liu to put a thick circle of powder on her neck to cover up the marks on her neck.

When she entered the main hall, she saw that the elders of the Wei family were gathered in the main hall, and she didn't have to think about it to know that she was waiting for the bride to come to give her daughter-in-law tea.

Thinking about it, he secretly glared at Wei Xing, and it was still his fault to blame!

Wei Xing touched the tip of his nose.

In fact, An Ruolan thought too much, the Wei family didn't have to care about these at all, and they were surprised that she came early.

Wei Xing is the youngest young master of the Wei family's generation, and there are four cousins on it, although they are all children born to their cousins, but because they grew up together, the relationship is also very close, and they are the same as their own children.

Tea to in-laws is a kneeling salute, tea to uncles and aunts is a salute, tea to brothers and sisters-in-law is a half-salute, An Ruolan has always been a tea salute to the elders present, as Sister-in-law Wei said, changing the name is a red envelope, plus the elders of the Wei family are very generous, and after a circle, her waist bag bulged again.

After An Ruolan finished the tea, the ladies of the Wei family also gave her tea.

Wei Shao told her about this rule earlier, so she prepared red envelopes in advance, except for Wei Shao, the red envelope of his sister-in-law, which was heavier, and the rest of the cousins were the same, not saying that there was any difference between relatives and distances.

And from the red envelopes she prepared, the Wei family members also saw that she was a person who could do things.

After the tea, Duchess Wei Guo asked Wei Xing to send An Ruolan back to the room to rest, saying that the matter of returning to the door would be discussed after she rested, and An Ruolan obediently agreed.

The Weiguo Mansion is jubilant and happy, but the Wenxin Marquis Mansion is ushering in a crisis.

In fact, long before An Ruolan got married, things started, but the old lady and An Shiting kept pressing, and they didn't dare to let An Ruolan know, and now things have deteriorated further.

The reason for this is that bottle of holy water.

Outsiders all knew that An Ruoxian asked for holy water, and the old lady knew that the news could not be hidden, so she wanted to say to the outside world that holy water could not cure Meng's disease, but I don't know when Mrs. Kangning Hou Shizi, who had a relationship with Meng, came to visit Meng, and then it was rumored everywhere that Meng's words and actions were normal, and his illness had been cured.

As a last resort, the old lady had no choice but to say that Meng's illness had been controlled after two years of treatment.

As for the holy water, it was said that it was not used.

The old lady would not be stupid enough to help the holy water preach divine power, such a thing, even if it is really divine, should not be stored in the world.

Naturally, some people doubt the truth of the old lady's words, saying that it is not good to be good in the morning and not good in the evening, but it is good at this time, it is clear that the holy water is used, and the An family does not admit that they use the holy water because they look down on An Ruoxian, and they want to cover up An Ruoxian's merits, which is an insult to question the divine power of the goddess.

At first, it was just some gossip in the streets, but then it rose to the point that some people smashed the shop under the name of the Marquis of Wenxin, because of this incident, the business of the industry under the name of the Marquis of Wenxin was bleak, and this morning, some people ran to the door of the Hou Mansion to make trouble.

The Hou Mansion was gloomy for a while, and the only thing to be thankful for was that An Ruolan was married, otherwise the happy event would probably turn into a farce.

At this time, several clan elders of the An family stood up and asked for another patriarch on the grounds that the old marquis didn't care about things and An Shiting put the An family in a difficult predicament. Under the mediation of the old lady, the clan promised a period of grace, and if the anger of the people could not be calmed within the specified time, another patriarch would be elected.

An Shiting almost turned his head white, and wanted to ask the old marquis to come forward, but the old marquis refused to even take a step out of the door, and when he was anxious and helpless, An Shiting came up with a way to let An Ruoxian come forward to explain clearly to the people.

The old lady immediately vetoed it and said, "Even if Sister Xian'er comes forward, it will not be convincing, and outsiders will only think that we forced her to lie." ”

Hearing this, An Shiting calmed down and said, "What my mother said is reasonable. He frowned tightly, "If we can come up with the holy water now, proving that we really don't use the holy water, the problem will be solved." ”

"Big brother is right, every qiē is caused by holy water." Second Master An nodded, feeling a little more disgusted with Meng and An Ruoxian, this mother and daughter can be said to be the disaster stars of the Hou Mansion.

"I'm afraid that holy water alone is not enough, although holy water is rare, it is not impossible to obtain, even if we take out holy water, the person who is fanning the flames behind our backs can say that we are not taking the bottle of holy water that Ruoxian asked for." An Shiyan shook his head.

After a period of overt investigation and covert visits, the Hou Mansion found that someone was behind the scenes, otherwise the news would not have spread so quickly, and the people would not have been idle and making trouble.

"Don't worry about this, I've already arranged it." The old lady raised her hand and pressed it weakly, her expression indifferent and proud.

That being said, without the crucial holy water, all arrangements are in vain.

The old lady frowned and rubbed the corners of her forehead. (To be continued......)
