254: The bride offers tea
Nalan Jinxiu didn't have a good appetite, she only ate a small bowl of red date longan porridge, and Ji Hongye sandwiched the soup bag to her, she only lowered her head and took a bite, and she couldn't eat it anymore.
"Eat these quail eggs. Ji Hongye pushed the small plate to her.
"I can't eat it. ”
"Well, eat. ”
Ji Hongye pushed the plate in front of her again, if you don't eat it, I will pick it up and feed it to you. Nalan Jinxiu could only reluctantly eat them all, and Jixiang added some soup to her during this period.
They have now become a family, and they need a lot of manpower to live, in addition to the ones placed by Aunt Su, Mrs. Ji also specially sent two clever ones, one is called Xia He and the other is called Qiu Cicada. He is not very old, but the rules are first-class.
Xia He and Qiu Chan were still very young when they were bought into the house, and they have been learning the rules, and they have not served their masters properly. Mrs. Ji saw that these two children were pure-minded, and she must have died if she followed anyone, so she sent them to Nalan Jinxiu.
The two little girls are trained according to the first-class maids, and they serve these people closely. But the two of them saw that the new lady was auspicious and wishful, so they followed behind. Originally, I heard that the new lady was born as the county lord, and I was worried about her bad temperament, but now when I observed, I found that she was much better than any aunt in this Ji Mansion.
Now they can be regarded as relieved, and they are grateful to the old lady for arranging a good place for them. What made them even more relieved was that the third master's attitude towards the new lady was obviously afraid of melting in his mouth, and he was afraid of falling in his hands. There is not a single person on duty in this mansion who does not know the third master.
Although the third master is gentle to people and does not punish people, who has he ever cared for so closely? Looking at the new lady again, although she is a little younger, her appearance and body are the best. Such a delicate and delicate lady, the third master must be very fond of it.
As long as the husband and wife are harmonious, then those of them who work under their hands will naturally be able to work. With only this meal, Xia He and Qiu Chan are already clear in their hearts.
The process of the first day of the wedding is to worship the immediate family first, and then the side family. But the Ji family, now only Ji Hongye is an official in the court, and even if there are some officials in the others, they are all petty officials, not to mention, and the rest are all business routes. Therefore, Nalan Jinxiu, an authentic old lady, doesn't need to go to the side department, just wait for them to come to the door.
This is not arrogance, but an expression of identity. If she took the initiative to worship those elders on her side, she would lower her value. Identity is something that can never be ignored sometimes, especially in a big family, which affects how she establishes her prestige in the future, so this step cannot be allowed in any way.
Nalan Jinxiu thought that if she went to see her grandmother in a while, she would inevitably meet others. Those aunts in the backyard, all of them are the masters who love trouble, if someone mentions the matter of worshipping the side, will she directly refuse, or will she fool around with Tai Chi?
On the way to Mrs. Ji's courtyard, she was thinking about this problem in her heart, and in the end she didn't decide how to deal with it, so she thought that it would be decided according to the situation at that time.
Nalan Jinxiu followed Ji Hongye into the main hall, and saw Mrs. Ji, Ji Yao and other aunts sitting on the main seat, all of them arrived one by one. It seems that before Nalan Jinxiu and Ji Hongye arrived, they had been sitting together and drinking tea for a long time.
Nalan Jinxiu looked at the faces and smiled very kindly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. Thinking about it, it's all about her now, how can there be a reason for the bride to make the elders wait? She has already seen the time before, it's not early, but it's definitely not too late, I think it's because these aunts came too early, that's why they are full of resentment.
Nalan Jinxiu and Ji Hongye saluted Mrs. Ji, and the old lady was really happy, and waved at Nalan Jinxiu with a smile: "Jin'er, come, come to grandmother." ”
Nalan Jinxiu walked over and was sat next to her by Mrs. Ji's hand, and Mama Guo brought someone a tray with a delicately made box. Mrs. Ji opened it and said with a smile: "Look at it, do you like this picture?"
Nalan Jinxiu took a look at it and was surprised by the shape of the head, firstly because it was really beautiful, secondly because it was luxurious enough, and thirdly because of its huge size. This pair of heads is larger than the two pairs of ordinary heads, and it uses a little emerald technology. The material is also precious, silver gilt, Hetian white jade, coral, pearls, precious stones......
When Nalan Jinxiu was in his last life, he saw the birthday gift given by the saint to Concubine Liu, and it was a face. It is said that at that time, in order to make such a face, there were more than 10 craftsmen and craftsmen, and in order to collect those green feathers, the Ministry of Internal Affairs raised thousands of kingfishers. At that time, Zong Xuanyi, who never mentioned Concubine Liu in front of her, couldn't help but reprimand the people for hurting money.
The kingfisher's feathers are beautiful, with a fresh, sparkling colour and inlay and gilding. Such things match the woman's jet-black hair, like a little smart floating phantom on the secluded lake, which makes people fall in love with it.
Therefore, not only aristocratic women like it, but also men, because it is pleasing to the eye.
Nalan Jinxiu never needs to embellish things, even if it is a hairpin or a pair of earrings. Because behind that beauty, there is a bloody fact that in order to take the green feathers of kingfishers, a hairpin needs more than a dozen kingfishers. This is unacceptable for a person who practices medicine.
Everything has a spirit, even plants, trees, birds and beasts, but in her eyes, there is life. They can be used to save people, and they can even be turned into a dish on the table, because this is their mission and their destination. And if he takes his life and does something that he has to do, then he kills.
Now the little emerald face in front of her is better than that of Concubine Liu. She heard the exclamations and praises of the people around her, and even the whispers that were muffled, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.
"This stupid boy, but was you shocked?"
"There is a point, it is too precious, and my grandson does not dare to accept it. ”
Old Madam Ji took her hand, and her tone was with rare arrogance: "You can just accept it, my Ji family's housewife, no matter how valuable things are, she can afford them." ”
Nalan Jinxiu turned her head sideways to look at Ji Hongye, and when she saw him nodding at her, she asked her to put her head away. After that, there were gifts from various aunts, because they were not the main room, and no one could afford her to hold her head for tea. It's not the first day that everyone has met, but they have received gifts and made a thank you gift.
After the rules were passed, Nalan Jinxiu was worried about going to give Ji Yao tea, but was stopped by Mrs. Ji. said that there was something wrong with the business in Daxing, and he went there overnight last night, and he was afraid that it would take a few days to return. As soon as Mrs. Ji said this, the expressions of everyone in the hall were a little indescribable.
Almost everyone present knew that Ji Yao never wanted Xu Jinsheng to enter the door, if it weren't for Ji Hongye's insistence and Mrs. Ji's efforts to promote it, this family affair would definitely not have been successful. The Ji family's business is doing well, and there are Ji family businesses everywhere in Tiannan and Haibei, and it is a big deal, and it is still necessary for Ji Yao to go in person? Most of the time this new daughter-in-law does not meet his wishes, and she wants to be clean in front of her.
Old Madam Ji's expression was as safe as ever, she was still holding Nalan Jinxiu's hand, smiling, no matter how she looked at it, she was in a very good mood, she said to Ji Hongye: "Since you don't need to go to your father's place, what are you still poking here?"
Ji Hongye knew that his grandmother was driving him away, and it stands to reason that he should also go back, but he was still worried about Ah Jin's current life, and he was afraid that she would be uncomfortable for how long she would stay outside. He hesitated and didn't move.
When Mrs. Ji saw his appearance, her smile deepened: "I know that you newlyweds are inseparable, but I have some private things to say to her, all of which are in the woman's boudoir, and it is inconvenient for you to listen." Besides, she's in my yard, is it possible that you're still afraid that someone will bully her?"
Everyone in the room laughed, Aunt Su covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Old lady, you are too, since you know that the newlywed Yan'er is newlywed, you don't put it back early, you see our brother Ye, but I am reluctant to separate." ”
As soon as Aunt Su spoke, a few more aunts talked, all of whom were making fun of them. Rao is as calm and calm as Ji Hongye, and he is really a little unbearable. Although he understands everything, he hasn't experienced it himself after all, and it's still jerky to talk about it, and he can't stand others talking about this topic.
He got up to say goodbye, and before going out, he said to Nalan Jinxiu: "Grandma Sun said that you will eat angelica black chicken soup for lunch, and now the small kitchen is already stewing." ”
Nalan Jinxiu knew that the third brother was afraid that her grandmother would not let her go for a while, and she was embarrassed and difficult to talk about, so she left an excuse for her to get out. She smiled and nodded at her, and he looked at it before he was relieved to leave.
The sweet and sticky appearance of the two was seen by everyone, and naturally they couldn't help but make jokes. What to say Angelica black chicken soup with some red dates and wolfberries, the most nourishing qi and blood, the most suitable for newlywed women, I didn't expect our Brother Ye to be distressed.
Nalan Jinxiu felt that what they said about replenishing qi and blood was not the same thing as what the third brother wanted to replenish qi and blood. She didn't want to accept them, and she didn't bother to accept them, so she simply buried herself in pretending to be shy. Anyway, she is a bride, and it is easy to be criticized if she talks too much, so it is right to pretend to be shy at this time.
Not long after Ji Hongye left, Mrs. Ji said that she was tired, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the old lady was driving people away, so she left one after another. When everyone dispersed and only Mrs. Ji and Nalan Jinxiu were left in the house, the old lady took her hand and asked, "You and Ye'er didn't have a husband and wife ceremony last night." ”
It should have been a question, but the old lady said it in an affirmative tone, and Nalan Jinxiu didn't know how to answer for a while......
