006 Tea Ceremony (1)
The grandmother who came to pick up Xipa's surname was Du, and she was a powerful person beside Yuan Taijun in Tai'an Academy.
The old lady sent the elderly and senior Mama Du to pick up Cui Ling to the main hall, in addition to showing her attention to this new granddaughter-in-law, she also wanted to take the time on the road to let Mama Du talk about the approximate population of the house and the preferences of the ladies and grandmothers.
The men of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, except for Yuan Dalang, who was the eldest man who guarded the house, all went to the northwest, leaving a room of women.
As the old saying goes, three women in one play, the matter of this back house is mostly due to the dispute between women, and it is very troublesome.
Mama Du knew in her heart that the new fifth grandmother was different from the other grandmothers.
This is an extraordinary period, the old lady entered the palace to ask for a new granddaughter-in-law, because of the urgency of time, the marriage was done in a hurry.
From the color to the invitation period, the steps that can be saved are not to mention, the wedding is also very low-key, there is no red makeup, there is no big banquet guests, only the family and a few close friends, the men of the Zhenguo General's Mansion are not there, if it is not for a few princes, this wedding banquet is not as lively as the Yuan family's New Year's feast.
If the new grandmother is the daughter of an ordinary small family, it will be fine.
But after the Cui family was the founding father, An Ning Bo Cui Hongjin was quite trusted and relied on by the emperor in the court, several sons held important positions, and the in-laws of the Cui family were also very noble, including many royal relatives and nobles.
In addition, the reputation of the heirs of Cui's daughters is outside, and most of them are from the right families asking to marry.
Although the Zhenguo General's Mansion is powerful, and it is also beneficial for Anning Bofu to marry him, the Cui family is famous for loving their daughters, and it is probably impossible to sell their daughters for glory.
So the old lady begged the queen mother, and the queen mother asked the emperor to decree again, which was somewhat difficult for bullying and strongmen.
The old lady is not a foolish person, she is happy that the marriage is completed, but at the same time, she will inevitably feel a little more sorry and pity for the fifth grandmother.
Mama Du has followed the old lady all her life, and no one can figure out the old lady's mind better than her, so since she entered the happy courtyard, she has restrained the arrogance and majesty of the big lady in charge, and greeted Cui Ling kindly and gently, while gossiping about some homely things.
She smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, and did not deliberately flatter, but showed great kindness, "Among the masters of the Yuan family, the fifth master is the most like the deceased old general, so the old lady loves this grandson the most, and the fifth master is also filial." No, as soon as the morning dawned, he estimated that the old lady should get up, so he went to Tai'an Courtyard, saying that he would talk to his grandmother before leaving. ”
Cui Ling pursed her lips and smiled happily, but she was a little nervous in her heart, she behaved so badly in front of Yuan Wulang last night, and she didn't know if he would say anything in front of Yuan Lao Taijun. When she was messing around, she thought that he would leave after the tea ceremony, who knew that he would go out of his way to whisper to the old lady.
Mama Du saw that the bride looked a little uncomfortable, thinking that she was shy and worried, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "When the old lady and the fifth master talked privately, although I was not around, but listening to the laughter in it, I thought that the fifth master was very happy with the fifth grandmother." When I came over, the fifth master also asked me to bring a message to my grandmother. ”
She covered her mouth and smiled, "The fifth master said that grandma looks good wearing the silver hairpin with colorful butterflies flying, and she will remember to show it to the old lady later." ”
Silver hairpin with colorful butterflies flying......
Cui Ling's heartstrings tightened, knowing that this was Yuan Wulang's threat and warning to her.
According to the meaning of Mama Du's words, I think Yuan Wulang didn't say bad things about her in front of Old Taijun Yuan, no matter what his considerations were, he was still a generous and kind man. Let her wear the hairpin that stabbed his arm last night to the main hall for tea, obviously saying that if she is uneasy in the Yuan family, he will never cover it up for her next time.
She went to change the hairpin, but she still had to smile innocently and charmingly, she hated herself over and over again for being too reckless, and some words were innocent in her heart, but when she said it, she let the Lord hear, then she really won't die if she doesn't die.
For her, although her husband's favor is not so important, she really forgot when she got carried away that in a patriarchal society, whether her in-laws support her, and whether she can live comfortably in the future still depends on Yuan Wulang's attitude towards her.
What's more, Yuan Wulang is the grandson on the tip of the old lady's heart, and the old lady will love the house and Wu, and of course he will hate the house and Wu.
With such remorse and apprehension, Cui Ling followed Mama Du out of the house, and when she left the courtyard, she glanced back and saw the door plaque under the cornice, with three words written vigorously and powerfully, Tibetan Fragrance Garden.
It turned out that the place where she was going to live in the future was called Tibetan Incense Garden.
Mama Du explained enthusiastically, "Did the fifth grandmother see it? The words on this plaque are the handwriting of the fifth master. This courtyard was originally called Qinhuo Courtyard, the fifth master has lived here since he was six years old, because the fifth grandmother wants to enter the door, the fifth master said that the words on the plaque are too hard to be good, and he personally wrote the three words of the Tibetan Fragrance Garden to make people frame and hang here. ”
She laughed deeper, "Our fifth master knows that it hurts people when he is a child, and the fifth grandmother is really blessed." ”
Cui Ling pretended to smile shyly, and she could be regarded as coping with the past, but her heart was annoyed.
If Yuan Wulang was a mud that couldn't support the wall, or a straw bag full of flowers, she would be at ease at the moment. But no matter the feelings sent from the three words of this Tibetan Xiangyuan, or Mama Du's praise, it seems to prove that her husband Yuan Jun is a generous, calm, wise, kind and considerate great man.
Such a man, born in a rich and splendid hairpin family, a proper rich, handsome and high-quality man, whether in the past or present life, is scarce, hate Obviously, such a man deserves to be more haode woman.
And she is a woman who just wants to live a comfortable and comfortable life, eating and waiting for death.
The purpose of her marriage is not to raise eyebrows with her husband for a lifetime, nor has she ever thought about raising her children to enjoy any family fun, she just wants to find a more suitable place for the elderly and live a lazy housemaiden life.
Thinking like this, Cui Ling suddenly felt a little guilty.
I knew that Yuan Wulang was so good, she should have given such a haode man to other sisters, anyway, the holy decree forced her, there must always be a Cui daughter to marry, if she didn't take the initiative to ask Ying, her grandfather wouldn't have thought of a granddaughter like her in his mind.
Whether it is the seventh sister, the eighth sister or the tenth sister, they are all more gentle and considerate than her.
Soon arrived at the main hall of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and a room full of women had already sat in place.
As soon as Cui Ling stepped into the door, she saw dozens of complex eyes with different meanings staring at her, and the coldest of them did not need to be distinguished, it was naturally her husband Yuan Wulang.
She hurriedly glanced in the direction of the line of sight, and saw that he was dressed in a black power suit, with only a simple silver ring tied in his hair bun, and his whole outfit was low-key and simple, looking like he was about to go out.
Maybe it was because of the guilt and embarrassment in her heart, her gaze stopped, and she didn't dare to look at Yuan Wulang at all, and she still didn't even see his appearance clearly, so she hurriedly lowered her head, followed Mama Du's steps, and slowly moved to his side.
"Lady......" he reminded her through gritted teeth.
Cui Ling replied in a thin voice, "Husband, what's the matter?" ”
Yuan Wulang had a gentle and humble smile on his face, but the curvature of his mouth was a little stiff, he approached her ear, and said word by word in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You stepped on my shoes." ”
