Chapter 364: Tea Ceremony

The elders sitting in the room heard Mu Jinyi's loud voice through the door, and Mu Chengxin, who was waiting for Mu Chengxin, who had not gone out at home, raised his voice and said: "Bastard boy, what are you yelling about, what is finally not final, hurry up and let me come in and sit down." ”

"Yes." Mrs. Mu replied happily: "What's wrong with coming late, the little couple has a good relationship, which is obviously a good thing." ”

And Second Mrs. Mu hurriedly straightened her clothes and adjusted her sitting posture: "Sister-in-law, help me take a look, after drinking tea for a long time, the lipstick is not spent, right?" ”

"Okay." Before Duchess An Guo could speak, Mrs. Mu Si was busy answering: "Second sister-in-law, you are a mother-in-law, what are you nervous about." ”

"Isn't this the first time I've been a mother-in-law!" Second Lady Mu replied with a smile: "Don't laugh at me, wait a few years for Ling Yi to marry a daughter-in-law, I don't think you'll be much better." ”

It was only a few words, Mu Zhengyi and Gu Yilan arrived at the door, and Cuiyun helped them pick up the curtain while smiling and passing through: "Old lady, the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother have come to greet you." ”

"Come in, please." Mrs. Mu hurriedly put the tea bowl in her hand aside, and the children who were originally standing or sitting quickly ran back to their chairs and sat down, sitting upright one by one, looking like they couldn't be more regular.

When Mu Zhengyi came in with Gu Yilan, Mu Qingyi took the lead, and the four children stood up together to show their respect for the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

"Grandmother," Mu Zhengyi said with a smile as soon as he entered the door, "I brought your granddaughter-in-law to give you tea." ”

The new daughter-in-law gives tea to the elders, this is a fixed routine, the family is almost the same, each girl has practiced many times under the supervision of her mother's elders before she gets married, such a simple set of processes, it is unlikely to go wrong.

Gu Yilan first gave tea to Mrs. Mu in order, and then presented a warm hat made by herself. On the amber heavy brocade warm hat, embroidered with the auspicious entwined branch lotus pattern, the embroidery is extremely exquisite, but there is not too much gold and jade decoration, only a huge pearl in the middle, it is really elegant and rich, completely in line with the aesthetics of Mrs. Mu.

"Daughter-in-law's female red is really unusual," Mrs. Mu took a closer look at the warm hat, and then ordered happily: "I have to try, Cuiyun, put it on for me quickly." ”

"Mother," Mu Chengxin couldn't help but smile: "It's past the hour, the sun is just right, the weather is so warm, isn't it hot for you to wear a warm hat!" It's never too late to wear it on a windy day. ”

"I'll just try," Mrs. Mu didn't care so much, she directly compared the warm hat on her head, and asked with a smile: "What's it, it's good-looking, right?" Isn't it pretty? ”

After listening to the conversation between Mu Chengxin and Mrs. Mu, Gu Yilan was a little embarrassed: "The weather is indeed hot this season, and it is the granddaughter-in-law who has not thought about it when she presents a warm hat to her grandmother, and she will wipe her forehead in a few days, and she will just wear it this season." ”

"You're not inconsiderate, you're too thoughtful." Old Madam Mu replied with a smile: "Lan'er, you specially asked Hongshang about my preferences, right?" This one you made is a little thinner than the usual warm hat, it must be the idea of the red dress, I guess it must be good. ”

"I can't hide anything from my grandmother," Mu Hongsheng replied with a smile: "It's indeed my idea." In the past few years, my grandmother has occasionally had a headache, and even in the summer, she can't do without a warm hat, so she has to keep it on hand. ”

"When people are old, there are many problems." Old Madam Mu said with a smile: "So Lan'er's gift was sent to my heart." ”

"That's my sister's idea." Gu Yilan immediately replied: "Daughter-in-law Sun doesn't dare to take credit. ”

"Although she came up with the idea, it's hard for you to think about asking," Mrs. Mu said with a smile: "If you don't ask a word, and make me Luo socks according to the ordinary rules, others will not be able to find out the reason, but I can't use it if I accept it." You've got a heart. ”

"The old lady is so happy," Mama Wang, who was waiting on the side, reminded with a smile: "I have received such a good warm hat from my granddaughter-in-law, but I also have to reward something." ”

"Exactly." The fast-talking Mrs. Mu also said with a smile: "Mother, I drank the tea of my new daughter-in-law, but I want to give a meeting gift, and your old man is just busy looking at the warm hat and forgetting it." ”

"Of course I've been ready for a long time," Old Madam Mu pretended to be a face: "Where do you need to be busy reminding." ”

Saying that, Mrs. Mu beckoned to Mama Wang, and Mama Wang brought a tray prepared in advance, in which was a complete set of ruby jewelry, bracelets, earrings, necklaces and hairpins, all of which were not lacking. This set of ruby jewelry is in excellent condition, as bright as a cockscomb, grease luster, red as cinnabar, it is the best red jade in the red jade.

It is extremely rare to find such a good red jade, and a small piece is worth a fortune, but what Mrs. Mu took out was a complete set of jewelry, and such a heavy meeting gift made Mu Zhengyi startled.

"This set of jewelry is still my dowry back then, some years." Old Madam Mu said with a smile: "The best red jade, it has been rare to see in these years, and it is just right to turn it out now for the daughter-in-law of Zhengyi." ”

This is a tea ceremony, of course Gu Yilan can't refuse, so although she was surprised, she could only respectfully take the tray and thank Mrs. Mu.

Mrs. Mu drank her granddaughter-in-law's tea, and then she was a serious mother-in-law, Mrs. Mu Er, who also liked the needlework made by Gu Yilan herself, and after drinking her daughter-in-law's tea, she happily stuffed a pair of jade bracelets with excellent color to Gu Yilan.

"Naturally, it can't compare to your grandmother's red jade jewelry," Second Lady Mu said with a smile: "But this pair of jade bracelets was prepared by me in the year when Zhengyi was born, and I carefully collected them for so many years, just for my daughter-in-law." ”

After giving tea to the two most important people, the next ones were Duchess Anguo, Mu Chengxin and his wife, and Mrs. Mu Si, everyone drank tea happily, received the sewing gifts from Gu Yilan, and also gave valuable meeting gifts.

In just a short period of time, Gu Yilan received a lot of meeting gifts, Fang Zhi and Fang Xin couldn't take it directly, so they could only ask Cuiyun to help them send them back to Mu Zhengyi's yard. And Gu Yilan took it upon herself and distributed the other needlework gifts she brought to her younger siblings.

The Mu Qingyi brothers received all wrist guards, and what Mu Hongshang received was a new skirt, which was the style of the Hu skirt that Mu Hongsheng was used to wearing, and the skirt was not only made to fit, but even made a few inches shorter than the ordinary skirt according to Mu Hongshang's usual habits.

"The eldest nephew and daughter-in-law are really a careful person," Duchess An Guo couldn't help laughing when she saw it: "I even noticed such a small thing as the length of the skirt." ”
