Chapter 37 Confession
Yesterday the bride entered the door, and today she will confess her marriage. Jinghu got up early in the morning, so he went to find her mother first, and waited for her to go to the main hall where she recognized her relatives.
Yesterday, it was her mother who had something to do, and she was in front of her grandmother again, so her mother didn't have her hands free to clean her up. Today, it was the princess's daughter-in-law who came in to recognize her relatives, and she was probably a little unhappy.
When Concubine Xu saw her, she originally wanted to reproach her for a few words, but when she saw her so obedient, she didn't say anything after she wanted to speak.
Today is the princess of the world, but her mother is also dressed up very gorgeously, wearing a gown with a begonia red silk and plum pattern, and picking a light apricot yellow skirt.
The hair is combed into a complicated peony head, and a ruby head is used. She used to be well maintained, but with such a big dress today, I don't know how much younger she looks than the princess of the county.
Ordinary people recognize relatives, and the concubines don't need to come out, and they are not qualified to come out. But their family name is Jing, and the mother concubine is a side concubine, and she is also of a grade, so she naturally has a share of the seat, and the bride respectfully calls "side concubine Niangniang".
Even if the princess of the county is unhappy, she is helpless.
The old lady sat at the top, but her father and the princess were on two sides, but her mother was closer to him.
The eldest brother was not there, she stood beside her mother, and her sister-in-law Ke Mingbi was also standing next to her.
Waiting for the newlyweds to come back from the ancestral hall, and then come to greet them and recognize their relatives, but it was very quiet at this time.
Her father glanced at Ke Mingbi who was standing beside her, and said softly: "Since the eldest daughter-in-law has a body, sit down and rest." ”
"It's San Lang and his daughter-in-law who are here, and you are also their sister-in-law, just sit with peace of mind."
As soon as these words came out, the mother concubine was a little proud, but the princess of the county immediately looked cold, as if she wanted to speak.
The princess of the county preemptively said: "What are you talking about?" Even if you have a body, after three months, can you stand up for a while? ”
"Bi Niang, she was born in Ke Taishi's Mansion, and she knows how to count etiquette the most, if you want her to sit at this time, she is afraid that it is better to stand comfortably. Bi Niang, you said yes. ”
In the end, ginger is still old and spicy. Grandmother's words can be regarded as avoiding embarrassment between the two parties.
She sometimes thinks it's quite strange, it's not a big deal, why does her father want to speak, as if she wants her mother and the princess to pinch each other.
Sure enough, Ke Mingbi stood up and said with a smile: "What grandmother said is that thank you for your father's concern, just standing for a while, it's a good thing for the third brother, Bi Niang doesn't feel tired." ”
It's boring. Jinghu felt a little sleepy. She was about to close her eyes and be lazy for a while, when someone outside came to report that her third brother Jing Xun and her new sister-in-law were coming here.
She immediately stood up straight, afraid that she would be found fault by the princess of the county again. It's not that she's afraid of her, it's just that she was locked up or something, in the end, there was some trouble, and she still wanted to sneak out of the house to find Ke Mingxu.
Soon her third brother took her new sister-in-law's hand and entered the door, walking briskly, and the smile on her face could not be stopped. Her sister-in-law didn't smile much, but looked very dignified.
This was not the case when she had seen the two of them together in the market before, and she was obviously very happy and seemed to be lively.
I don't know if I'm a little nervous in the face of their family, or if she's a master who loves to play like her serious sister-in-law Ke Mingbi.
She could only observe the look of her new sister-in-law, but her mother noticed something else.
The newlyweds first gave tea to the concubine. The concubine seemed to be very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law, and the brocade box she gave her for the meeting gift was larger than usual, and she didn't know how many good things she contained.
After all, her third brother is a concubine, and he has been loved by his grandmother since he was a child, and when he made a mistake, the princess of the county wanted to talk about him, and the concubine also protected him a lot.
Her mother often said that a loving mother has many defeated children. The princess of the county didn't dote on her, but if the concubine wanted to be like this, she had to respect her and be filial to her, so she could often only turn a blind eye to Jing Xun's mistakes.
Later, he developed a gentleman, and even Jinghu looked down on him. Who knew that he married a good wife and also had a day of meritorious service on the battlefield in the northwest.
At a very young age, Jinghu noticed that her grandmother didn't seem to like her big brother very much. I don't know why, she just feels this way.
Obviously, the eldest brother is much better than Jing Xun, but she has always been indifferent to him. It's not as good as her to Jing Hu, and it's not as good as her to Jing Xun.
So the mother concubine has always been depressed in her heart, and the eldest brother is a concubine.
In the clan, concubines like her can have titles and be respected when they go out, and even the wives of some families are not as good as her.
But the child she gave birth to was different. Jinghu has the title that her father begged for her, but her eldest brother has nothing, and the official position of the fifth grade on his body is still obtained by going out at a young age and fighting everywhere.
When she was a child, she once broke into her mother's house, and she was drugging her eldest brother. His back was bloody, and she had nightmares for several nights after seeing it.
When the eldest brother married Ke Mingbi, the mother concubine was very happy, almost never happy. After all, she was once a candidate for the princess, and she was the princess of the county.
The mother thought that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the eldest brother was obviously better than the third brother.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the third brother to marry the granddaughter of General Wan. What kind of character is General Wanlao, who has been guarding the northwest for decades, and has made the people of Eile frightened.
is a little lady like Jinghu who doesn't learn or knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and when she sees him, she can only hold her breath and be respectful. Not fear, but respect.
The most respected big man of Yanliang people is only afraid that it is General Wanlao.
After drinking the princess's tea, it was the turn of the princess and her father. The princess of the county used to dislike this lady very much, but in her eyes, it was better for a young lady who was as knowledgeable as her to be her daughter-in-law.
It's a pity that she likes it, but the third brother doesn't like it, and in the end, the third brother got his wish.
She didn't say anything today, and let her new sister-in-law pass the test calmly.
The mother concubine has a share of sitting, but she is not qualified to let the princess and concubine give a cup of tea. Next, Jinghu's second brother and second sister-in-law followed, and then it was Jinghu's turn.
Although she won dozens of taels of silver from Princess Mingqing yesterday, she still felt that she was a little short of money to spend.
The princess came over and offered her shoes and socks made for her. Jing Hu took it respectfully, called out "third sister-in-law" sweetly, and then glanced at Jing Xun behind her with a smile.
The little county lord opened his mouth, "Third sister-in-law, you are so fragrant." "It's not the same as the fragrance on Jing Xun she met on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival.
How much hush money should be paid for her third brother this time.
