Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 304, Stepmother and Stepdaughter
Chapter 304, stepmother and stepdaughter
Changsheng noticed that Jinshu was still a little nervous, pinched her hand, and after the bamboo curtains decorated with red silk and silk flowers on both sides were opened, Changsheng suddenly felt that something was wrong with Jinshu now.
Tomorrow morning, the county lord will serve tea to his mother-in-law, his elder brother and sister-in-law, and meet his younger siblings and younger generations, and then he will officially meet and get acquainted. Before I went through that experience, I brought Shu'er over, and when Shu'er saw the county lord, what should I call it? But there are also benefits to coming, at least for the sake of Shu'er is the daughter of the county horse, Cui's mother still spared Coke, if she just came by herself, even if she opened her mouth to beg the **** family, she might not be willing to sell this face, not to mention that this is still the county lord of Anyang who intends to make her embarrassed.
As for what to call it, the moment she stepped in, she had already thought about it.
Outside is the newly decorated main hall, which is extremely spacious and gorgeous, and because of the red and green decorations of the marriage, it is even more bright and festive, Shu'er also looked at it in a daze, but forgot what was on her mind.
The little girl in a new dress stood on both sides and curtsied in unison, it turned out that Sister Winnie and Coke were really the last girls, so they stood at the foot of the most remote steps, Changsheng frowned slightly, although Coke was clever but young, and he was not the son of the Huai'an Palace, it was reasonable to be the last little girl, Sister Winnie was seventeen years old, and she was the most intelligent and careful, this age should be at least a second-class girl, what does the county lord of Anyang want to do?
I didn't have time to think about it, I had arrived at the door of the bedroom, because there was Cui's mother with her, and the two girls who guarded the door just saluted and didn't dare to ask, although the bedroom was not as gorgeous and spacious as outside, but it was much more delicate and warm, and it was also a lantern with a pile of brocade embroidery, and there were ice basins in the corners, and it was very comfortable to go in.
The red silk tent sprinkled with gold flowers is hung high with a gold hook, and the county lord of Anyang who is wearing a red wedding dress sits on the intricately carved embroidery bed, she has no hijab, probably has been provoked by Mingche, there are two little girls who are fanning her, although the heavy and thick phoenix crown has been removed, she is still full of bright gold and jade, and her face is also full of makeup, if she didn't know that the bride was her, Changsheng would almost not be recognized.
Seeing An Yang looking straight over, his eyes were a little unpredictable, there was a girl on the side with a brand-new red silk futon, Changsheng stepped forward and knelt down: "The folk woman has seen the county lord" Xie Jiashang is Bai Ding, and she has no fame, she can only call herself a folk woman.
The county lord of Anyang waved his sleeves to signal his body, and then looked over meaninglessly, a trace of pride flashed on his face, no matter how much she was respected, she couldn't change her lowly background, and she couldn't salute herself.
Thinking that this was the first time I saw my mother-in-law's family after getting married, or an acquaintance, I couldn't show too much, and soon changed to a face full of the shyness that a bride should have, and saw that Changsheng motioned for Shu'er to also kneel down and salute, and hurriedly smiled and said: "It's all my own family, the third lady is still so polite Shu'er, come here"
Shu'er looked forward to Changsheng, and finally knelt down and saluted, saying: "The little girl has seen the county lord"
The county lord of Anyang was stunned, and said with a strange expression: "She is the daughter of the county horse, that is, my daughter, but she only treats me as the county lord."
Changsheng motioned for Jin Shu to get up, and said with a smile: "The county lord is polite, the eldest lady is the daughter of the county horse, of course, she is also the daughter of the county lord's relatives, but it is just a national salute before the family salute." What's more, the eldest lady is close to the county lord, and she doesn't dare to call her mother in a hurry, I just want to get acquainted with the county lord, and I don't dare to call the sister-in-law first, because tomorrow morning after serving tea can be regarded as a formal meeting with the family, and the future will be commensurate with family etiquette.
The words to the lord of Anyang first have the dignity of the national ceremony, and then the closeness of the family ceremony, which makes people listen to it very comfortably, and for a while he even put away the mockery, and said with a smile: "You're welcome first, please sit down."
Changsheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "The old lady is not at ease, I am afraid that the subordinates will not be able to do something, so I will be sent over to see if the county lord has sent anything?" ”
The county lord of Anyang glanced at Changsheng, his eyes rolled, and he was about to say something, but Cui's mother on the side was afraid that she would leave a laughing stock for others on the big day, and also destroyed the virtuous image in the heart of the county master.
hurriedly rushed in front of her and said, "The third lady is too polite, how dare you say the word send?" The old lady's love, the county lord understands it, she will personally thank the old lady tomorrow morning, and the third lady should not be so angry, please sit down and drink a cup of herbal tea."
Saying that, he personally stepped forward to ask Changsheng to sit down, took the tea held by the girl and handed it over, and said with a smile: "It is said that the third lady and the county lord are talking, and there is no part of the old slave interfering, but the county lord is a bride today after all, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to talk too much if the rules are broken, so the old slave has overpassed, and please don't blame the third lady."
The county lord of Anyang understood what Cui Ma ** meant, so he bowed his head and said nothing, how could Changsheng not see the mystery just now, and felt more and more that the county lord had lived in the mansion for a short time, so he politely picked up the teacup, but told Cui Ma how lively it was in front of him, who was here, and other words on the scene.
The county lord of Anyang simply lowered his head and pretended to be shy and stopped talking, and after a while, he couldn't help it, and wanted to take the opportunity to ask about Lin Xinhui's noisy things today, and thought that with his immortal temperament, he must be going around and around sloppy, and he couldn't ask what he wanted to know, so he was angry for a while, but he still held back.
Changsheng quietly took in her expression, and already had an idea in his heart. Thinking of the four sisters Coke Kexi and Winnie, he felt that since Anyang knew that they were all acquainted, the more he pretended not to ask, but seemed contrived, so he put down the teacup, pulled Shu'er, who looked calm and had a hint of resistance, and said with a smile: "Don't you care about your four girls every day?" For fear that they would be beaten and scolded and suffer hardships, now it seems that not only do they not suffer, but they are also deeply valued by the county lord, don't you see that they are all wearing new clothes just now? This is all the credit of the county lord, and I may see it every day in the future, so I don't want to go over and thank you."
Changsheng said this sincerely, Anyang didn't want to see them anymore, after all, he bought the four of them to the Huai'an Palace, and finally they didn't fall into that unbearable place, nor did they scatter, which was much better than the result of her previous worrying day and night guesses, because she was sincerely grateful.
Although Shu'er didn't understand what Changsheng meant, she also knew that she could see the four girls again Fortunately, the county lord in front of her, she didn't like her anymore, but this favor must be thanked and she hurriedly stepped forward to kneel.
Why did you buy the four girls, whether it was good for them to buy the four girls, only the county lord himself understood in his heart, but he was praised by Changsheng so much that he couldn't say anything, and motioned to Cui's mother to hold Jinshu, who was about to kowtow, and got up to support her and said: "Such a clever and kind child, where is he willing to let you kneel?" Hey, in fact, it was all for Shu'er's sake to save them, and I couldn't help much after the Xie family committed the crime, I could only do some small things, so many girls, I could buy those four little girls, just because the eldest lady was their master."
This time, Jin Shu was sincerely grateful, and she didn't need to teach her immortality, she stepped forward to thank her again, and of course the county lord also saw that she was really grateful to herself, and she was in a good mood for a while, and pulled her to ask questions.
Cui's mother explained to Changsheng with a smile: "The day before the Xie family's slave official was sold, the county lord instructed the old slave to say that the eldest lady values her four big girls the most on weekdays, and asked me to quickly arrange for capable people to buy them back in front of others, so as not to let the good girl fall into something bad, which is not a pity."
There was no trace of embarrassment in his tone because of the punishment of Coke just now, Changsheng stood up and thanked him again and again, but his heart was churning about how to get the four of them from the county lord of Anyang.
The county lord of Anyang was holding Jin Shu's hand and asking some common words, although Jin Shu's expression and words were faint in the face of the county lord of Anyang, he answered generously, and there was no rudeness. Changsheng knew the temperament of the county lord of Anyang, and he was afraid that something would happen if he stayed any longer, so he excused himself to leave after saying goodbye to the old lady.
Just about to go out, a girl came in to report: "The county horse is here" said that Ming Che, who was wearing a good clothes and sweating profusely, came in, and saw Changsheng and Jin Shu stunned, when Changsheng was blessed, Jin Shu had already stepped forward to hold his hand, and shouted "Daddy" coquettishly, Ming Che nodded lightly to Changsheng to show his salute in return, Changsheng knew that his name was made for Anyang to see, Anyang was originally dissatisfied because Mingche attached importance to her, if there was anything wrong with her in front of her, it would definitely make Anyang more suspicious, so he got up and took a step back, Consciously be invisible.
Mingche touched Shu'er's head at this time, and said with a smile: "Have you eaten?" You can't wait to meet the county lord? ”
Shu'er seemed to remember that there was another person in the house who was separated between her and her father from then on, and she was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say, Changsheng knew that the county lord of Anyang was staring over there, if Mingche and Shu'er were entangled and snubbed Anyang, it would not be good for her, and it would make it difficult for Mingche.
He stepped forward and said: "I was ordered by the old lady to come and see what else the county lord had to order, Shu'er used to like the county lord very much, so I also want to come and see, if the county horse has no instructions, I will go with Shu'er to the old lady to return to the old lady."
Ming Che still nodded lightly, Changsheng pulled Shu'er to turn around and say goodbye to the county lord of Anyang again, but saw that the other party's eyes turned around the three of them, and with just a little click, all his attention was focused on Ming Che, who was more handsome and moving because he was wearing a big red clothes.
Changsheng didn't say a word more, pulled Shu'er and stepped back directly, seeing Mingche coming in, Cui's mother was more polite to them, and sent them out respectfully, before she reached the door, she heard Mingche behind him ask Anyang with concern: "Has the county lord ever eaten?" If it's still too hot, why not have two more ice basins added? ”
An Yang also laughed softly: "Let the county master bother, I still came to see the concubine on a hot day, sit down and drink some herbal tea."
At this moment, Jin Shu seemed to have realized that her father had someone else to care about in the future, and her expression was suddenly like being beaten by frost, and she was unwilling to look back, Changsheng remembered that her sister was not comfortable, so she grabbed her and walked out quickly, and said with a smile: "Let's go, on such a hot day, my aunt will find you an ice bowl to eat."
After saying that, he quit Cui's mother and came to the porch, Shu'er thought about the four girls, and forgot about the others for the time being. Seeing the four sisters Coke and Winnie again, but it was difficult to say anything because of the crowd, Shu'er didn't say anything obediently, and the eyes met naturally and had the same mind, and it was not easy to meet here, and the four of them were complete, which was not easy.
