Chapter 250: Tea Ceremony

Chen Wenhui is very smart, she came to her mother-in-law's house for the first time as a bride to serve tea, but she didn't come alone with her husband, she brought a lot of people. Of course, in her case, it is normal to bring a lot of people, because women have a lot of things to do when they go out, they have to change their clothes, they have to bring dressing utensils, Chen Wenhui gave tea to her in-laws for the first time, she has to recognize relatives, and she has to give everyone a meeting gift, which needs to be carried by people, right? Therefore, it is normal to bring more people.

However, to the stunned guards of the Zhongyi Mansion, Chen Wenhui also brought a team of male and female guards. Looking at these shrewd and capable guards, the guards in the Zhongyi Mansion, who also came from the battlefield, obviously felt that these guards were different from the ordinary guards in the capital, these had also experienced the baptism of blood, and their eyes were different.

With such a large number of people entering the mansion, there were already servants who went to report to the masters, and the old loyal and righteous prince just frowned, and Mrs. Zhao was unhappy and said, "What is this for?" It's just a tea ceremony to recognize relatives, why are you bringing so many people? Maid, forget about the more servants, why do you have to bring guards? Is our house a tiger's den in Longtan? Do you still want to go to war? ”

Han Shi hurriedly played a round and said: "Mother, it's like this, the girls of the family have to bring guards when they go out, even if they go shopping. What's more, they just came out of the palace, and they came directly without meeting the county lord's mansion, so they must change their clothes first, and they can't wear high-grade palace clothes to meet their relatives? This change of clothes naturally has to be re-dressed, someone has to comb the hair, someone has to put on makeup, and someone has to change the clothes. Naturally, there are more people who use it, and there are more people who bring it. ”

Mrs. Zhao was about to say something, but the old Zhongyi said: "Come on, it's all a trivial matter, didn't they go to Chongyi's courtyard to change clothes?" It came in a moment. No matter how many people we bring here, aren't they all from our own family? ”

Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips and said nothing.

The clansmen of the Zhao family on the side are thinking about it in their hearts, it seems that this new second grandmother is really a powerful stubble, and she has not yet entered the door to serve tea. I'm already going to give my mother-in-law a horse. He is worthy of being the royal lord of the county. The daughter of the Chen family.

After a while, a group of people surrounded Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi like stars holding the moon, and came to the Lexuan Hall of the Zhongyi Mansion, and everyone only felt that their eyes were bright.

Chen Wenhui wore a bright red gown. The robe is embroidered with most of the flowers. There is also a row of pearlescent pearls on the shoulders. The skirt underneath was tied with gold trim and adorned with three staggered circles of pearls, moving with each step. It brought a halo of light. On his head, he wore a silk golden phoenix hairpin, a red gold inlaid with precious stones, and two golden tassels more than a foot long, a collar inlaid with jade on his neck, and a pair of ruby earrings on his ears, which looked grand and gorgeous. The shoes on his feet are also adorned with red gemstones. Zhao Yufei's eyes lit up as soon as this outfit appeared, and she had seen Chen Wenhui countless times, but Chen Wenhui had always been very low-key and had never used so many jewels.

This time, such a grand outfit looks like the whole person is really shrouded in jewels. Zhao Yufei can already hear the people of the Zhao family around her talking about it, all of them are saying, look at the bride's dress, it is really priceless, it is worthy of being a family girl, how much has been used for this dress just for pearls. Some people said, look at the ruby on the shoe, such a big one, how much silver does it cost? The other man said, "What kind of money are you talking about?" People are the daughters of a family, do they care about silver? What are these, in the Xiao Chen family, what is silver? No one knows how many silver mountains there are.

The more Zhao Yufei listened, the more angry she became, and she was furious.

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi had already walked to the center of the hall, Ying Ying bowed, kowtowed to Lao Zhongyi and Mrs. Zhao, and then got up, took the tea from the servant's hand, and gave the tea to her in-laws.

Lao Zhongyigong took it, smiled slightly, and said a few auspicious words, Chen Wenhui sent a meeting gift, supported by a big red tray, which contained two sets of clothes, two pairs of shoes and socks, and a fine inkstone, a white jade pen wash.

The old loyal and righteous man gave a red seal.

It was Mrs. Zhao's turn, and Chen Wenhui also gave two sets of clothes, two pairs of shoes and socks, and a Nanmu box, which was opened, and inside was a set of emerald heads, a total of eight. There are hairpins, hairpins, collars, flowers, bracelets, earrings, distractions, and step shakes. The gem green on it is crystal clear, the color is very good, the workmanship is especially good, the patterns are auspicious patterns, as soon as this set of jewelry is taken out, even the well-informed Mrs. Zhao can't help but take a few more looks.

However, she still held back, her face was faint, and she asked someone to take the red seal prepared in advance and give it to Chen Wenhui, and then pretended to be casual and said, "Our Da Chu's rules are like this." The bride confesses her marriage for the first time, and she has to embroider clothes or shoes and socks for her in-laws. It's a greeting gift. You are well prepared, give me and your father a complete set of clothes and shoes and socks, and, I see, these clothes and shoes and socks are made of high-quality materials, meticulous workmanship, think about it, your female celebrity must be very good? ”

Zhao Chongyi's face flashed with anger, Chen Wenhui looked at it, and hurriedly touched Zhao Chongyi's arm lightly, and then said with a smile: "Mother, what you are talking about is the rules of Da Chu, but it is also the rules of ordinary people in Da Chu. In the upper class of our Dachu society, especially in the top families, where is there a bride who is a female celebrity by herself? This dress of yours, as well as the dress I gave to my father, are the best embroidery girl in the palace I got, Mama Gui sewed it by herself, she is our Da Chu's needle god lady. That female red job is the highest. The dress I wore yesterday was embroidered by her, isn't it gorgeous? ”

Mrs. Zhao was dumbfounded, she had never seen such a person, and she actually said openly that this dress was not made by herself, but made by an embroiderer. Not only did he say that he didn't make the clothes, but he also said that the wedding dress was not embroidered by himself, and he also said that he had no knowledge, he was born in a small family, and he didn't understand the rules of this family. Is there such a cheeky bride? Is there such a daughter-in-law who has no rules and contradicts her mother-in-law?

Zhao Chongyi's originally angry face was replaced by a smile, this Chen Wenhui is really a genius. In fact, when the girls of the family and the eunuchs got married, most of the clothes, shoes and socks were not made by themselves, some were made by embroidery girls, and some were made with the help of the maids at home. However, they all claim to do it themselves, where does anyone say that it is done by the embroidery lady so openly? Do you want to fight against your mother-in-law like this? It seems that Chen Wenhui really doesn't have to worry about herself, she entered the door of the Zhao family, she wronged her, but it was also her mother's bad luck. Seeing his mother-in-law deflated, Zhao Chongyi felt extremely comfortable.

Chen Wenhui just said that it was not enjoyable, and continued: "Ah, by the way, I forgot about it, my mother's maiden family is just ordinary people, of course I don't understand how the daughter of the family raises her daughter." The daughters of our family are all beautiful daughters of heaven, all worthy of the name, and we have never held a needle and thread since we were children. I can't even embroider a handkerchief now. These women embroider or something, they don't have to learn at all, anyway, there are many embroidery girls and maids at home. Where to do it yourself. No wonder my mother asked me that. ”

Zhao Chongyi almost burst out laughing, this is a slap in the face, just entering the door to lose the face of his mother-in-law, or in front of the clansmen, only Chen Wenhui in the world may dare to do this. actually laughed at her mother-in-law for her humble background, but Mrs. Zhao usually loves vanity the most, and hates people the most that she is from a humble background, and now her daughter-in-law says this about her, it is strange that she is not angry.

Han was dumbfounded. As a daughter-in-law, she deeply knows how powerful her mother-in-law is, as an official eunuch of a famous family, she married into the Zhao family, and she was not less tormented by her mother-in-law. However, now, this powerful mother-in-law has met an opponent, Chen Wenhui is so powerful, as soon as they meet, they will sprinkle salt on the place where the mother-in-law hates it, and actually laugh at the mother-in-law's background first. It seems that the mother-in-law has kicked the iron plate this time.

Mrs. Zhao's face turned from white to red, and then from red to iron-blue, and the green tendons on her forehead rose, and she shouted: "On the contrary, my daughter-in-law actually dares to laugh at my mother-in-law, how were you raised?" I'm going to ask my in-laws. ”

Chen Wenhui did not show weakness and said: "Our Chen family is not an ordinary family, and there are special people responsible for the upbringing of the daughters of our family. Besides, I am the county lord of the imperial court, and since I became the county lord, there have been special high-grade grandmothers from the Zongren Mansion to teach. If my mother asks me about my upbringing, please call my grandmother first, if you are not satisfied, go to the Zongren Mansion to question the Zongren Ling, why didn't you raise me well, so let the emperor give me a marriage to the Zhao family? ”

After speaking, Chen Wenhui raised her voice and shouted: "Mama Zheng, Mama Su, please come in, my mother wants to ask." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mama Zheng and Mama Su, who had been prepared, came in, and the two Mama saluted, and the walking rules were very good, and after the salute, Mama Zheng said, "May I ask Mrs. Zhongyi what is the matter with us?" ”

Mrs. Zhao's hands shook angrily, and she couldn't speak.

Zhao Yufei on the side didn't want her mother to suffer like this, and said sharply: "What's the matter?" How did you raise the county lord? Contradicting my mother like this? ”

Mama Zheng said, "This is Miss Zhao San, right?" We are listening to the orders of the Duchess of Zhongyi, how can you speak as a girl who has not been out of the cabinet and has no grade? ”

Zhao Yufei opened her mouth and did not say anything.

Lao Zhongyi said: "Okay, the ceremony is not over yet, it's good for you two to come in, and help your county lord to recognize your relatives." (To be continued......)
