Chapter 24: Visiting the Bride (2)
The two masters of the Mu family were greeted by Master Ji and Yu Jun in the front yard, Zhen Heng was also a boy, so he followed along, and with Master Ji and Yu Jun watching, Zhen Xuan was not worried.
The Jin family and the Mu family's wife and grandmother in the flower hall were afraid that they would come together because they had to talk about the last conversation, so Zhen Xuan took advantage of this time to inquire about the guests from Yu Cong.
The sixth wife is also the second room of the Mu family, Yu Hui's future roommate, and the third son of Yu Hui's husband is the fifth in the family; The third grandmother is a three-room family, and her husband is the second son, who returned to Shaozhou a few years ago to raise her body and did not stay in Beijing.
The eight-year-old fifth girl and the six-year-old eighth girl are the two girls next to Mrs. Six, and they don't know how depressed they are, and there is no way to talk about the two cousins.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see anyone coming to pass the word, Yu Cong was a little worried, and whispered: "Why is there no news coming?" ”
Zhen Xuan patted her hand and said, "How easy is it, there are only a few people waiting in the flower hall, wouldn't it be eye-catching to go in and out at will?" Don't worry, my aunt will know that we are waiting anxiously, and someone will inform us when we have the chance. ”
Sure enough, after about a cup of tea, the lady who had passed the message before came again: "The Mu family is ready to get up and come over, but wait carefully." The sixth wife and the third grandmother are still polite, let's not slack off. ”
After waiting for about a cup of tea, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the yard, and the maid waiting outside the door said hello and lifted the curtain.
It was the Jin family who came in at the beginning, and the people from the Mu family followed behind.
Mrs. Feng commanded the little maids to wait for the seats, served fragrant tea, Yu Hui stepped forward slowly, gave a blessing, and said, "Please Mrs. Mu Liu, third grandmother An." He also treated the four girls with equal courtesy.
After Yu Hui fell silent and Zhen Xuan and Yu Cong saluted together, she had a chance to take a closer look at these visitors.
The sixth wife is more than thirty years old, dressed in a dark purple and red outfit, looking steady and with a hint of joy, and she is also kind and kind-eyed, accompanied by a faint smile.
The third grandmother is only a few years older than Yu Hui, with phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, slightly raised lips, and a small chin, which has a lot of taste.
The two girls are very easy to distinguish, the arrogant ones are the five girls, and the eight girls who are the six ladies are the only ones. The other two, who are most obviously dressed in extravagance, should be the two cousins.
Grandma Mu San looked at Yu Hui carefully up and down, pulled her to her side, and said with a smile: "Those two girls are just that, why are you so polite to us?" What six wives and three grandmothers, it's chilling to hear. Call me the third sister-in-law, that's the sixth uncle. ”
The third grandmother's smile was particularly kind, and her voice was brittle like a nightingale, Yu Hui was stunned when she heard this, and blurted out that she was about to call "sixth uncle, third sister-in-law", and as soon as the words reached her throat, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Yu Cong turning her head and looking blankly at the direction of the back window - further down there, it was Aunt Zhao's residence, and Aunt Zhao who was cautious and never wanted to let people catch a trace of fault in words.
Yu Hui buzzed in her mind, and suddenly a thought flashed, she lowered her head slightly, and secretly thanked Yu Cong in her heart, before returning the third grandmother with a smile: "The sixth wife and the third grandmother treat Yu Hui kindly It is Yu Hui's blessing, but Yu Hui has not yet left the cabinet, she is still a girl from the Ji family, and she can't be without rules." ”
When Yu Hui said this, even the Jin family had a little aftertaste, and secretly glanced at the three grandmothers. As soon as the people of the Mu family came to the door, she dealt with it carefully, especially this grandmother who was born in the third room who did not welcome Yu Hui into the door. But after a few conversations, the other party did not show some unhappy appearances, but showed affection, which made the Jin family relax their vigilance a little, but they didn't want to dig such a set for their daughter as soon as they arrived at Yu Hui.
When Yu Hui was not out of the cabinet, how could she be cheeky to call her uncle and sister-in-law, this is simply a sin of not abiding by women's morals, fortunately, Yu Hui is a smart person and was not fooled into it by the third grandmother.
Hearing Yu Hui say this, Grandma Mu San didn't show any emotion, as if the trap just now was just unintentional, she turned her head and said to Mrs. Six: "Uncle, you see, you really understand the rules." The Ji family's ancestors are scholars, and the girls who taught them are really fond of it. After seeing Mrs. Six nodding, she said to the Jin family again, "Mrs. teaches so well." ”
Jin was on guard in his heart, and he still smiled on his face: "Look at what the third grandmother said, our eldest sister is sincere, and when she enters the Mu family, she needs the wives and grandmothers to mention more." ”
"Where, it's all a family, and the concubines should have walked around more. My third master is in the capital, I stay in Shaozhou alone, I have nothing to do on weekdays, my younger siblings don't bother me when the time comes. The third grandmother called her younger sister, and didn't wait for Yu Hui to shirk anything, and started another conversation, it seems that the trap just now is really like this "brother and sister" just calling close, and there is no bad intention.
The sixth wife and the third grandmother talked about the furnishings in Yu Hui's house, praised a few words of cultivation, and asked Yu Cong and Zhen Xuan to go over to ask, and heard that Zhen Xuan was a girl from the Pei family in Yongzhou, and the sixth wife said: "But it is a coincidence, we also have a cousin girl from Yongzhou." Mu En, Mu Yi, come and meet. ”
Listening to the introduction of Mrs. Six, these two are indeed girls from Yongliang Palace, Yan Muenxing two, twelve years old, Yan Muyi Xingthree, the same year as Zhen Xuan, both of them are concubines, their father is the younger brother of Yongliang Wang, their mother died early, and Mrs. Mu Jiagu is their stepmother.
Yan Muen seemed to like Zhen Xuan very much, and said, "I, I envy your Pei family." There are many men in our Yan Mansion, but there are few sisters, the eldest sister got married early, and the third sister and I are left. ”
"Not really." Yan Muyi echoed, "My second sister and I occasionally invite girls from other mansions to play together, and we have always thought about handing over the post to Pei's mansion, but I just gave up when it was terrible and abrupt." It's okay now, when Miss Ji passes the door, we are also related, and when we go back, you must come with the sisters of Pei Mansion. ”
Zhen Xuan didn't expect the Yan sisters to be so polite, and she was afraid that she would set up a condom with her just now like Grandma Mu San, but after thinking about their words, she didn't catch anything wrong, so she responded: "Don't dislike our sisters for not understanding the rules of the palace." ”
Seeing that they were talking happily, Grandma Mu San sighed and said, "Isn't it good to be a girl?" When I was a girl, I could often chat with my sisters and go to a visit, but now I am married, but it is different. When I first got married, when I went back to my parents' house, my mother always called me 'Wu Niang', and now I have changed my words to 'Wu Aunt', hey. ”
"The third grandmother is so blessed, Ling Tang is so worried about you." Jin squinted, covered his lips with a handkerchief, smiled, and said to a room of mothers-in-law and maids, "I can hear it, when the eldest sister goes out tomorrow, there will be no chance to shout 'eldest sister', there are a lot of calls today, and when the three dynasties return to the door, they will have to change their words 'aunt and grandmother'." ”
Mrs. Feng took the lead, and everyone responded in unison.
The Jin family is very satisfied, these rules and titles are not messy, the third grandmother is staring at the wrong place, if Yu Hui becomes the eldest aunt and grandmother today, don't mention anything shameless, just trying to draw a clear line with the family is wrong, especially this kind of high-climbing marriage.
Mu Wuniang and Mu Banniang, who didn't speak, have been following Mrs. Six, Mu Wuniang has a big temper, and when she sees that no one in the room talks to her, she is a little annoyed in her heart.
On weekdays, among the sisters, who dares to snub her Wu Niang so much? That Banniang is a stuffy gourd coward, she Wu Niang can't look down on her from head to toe, she came with today, just to see if the girl of the Ji family looks round or square, and also obeys her mother and is closer to the two cousins. Unexpectedly, the two cousins treated her coldly, but they talked to the cousin of the Ji family, and invited her to the palace to play.
Mu Wuniang was even more dissatisfied when she thought that she had never entered the palace. She got up and walked up to Yu Hui, glanced at it with squinted eyes, and snorted coldly: "This is my future fifth sister-in-law?" Look, the third sister-in-law is not pretty! ”
