The banquet was full of guests from all over the world, and the two of the Zhou family were very worried. Wan Linglong doesn't understand her daughter's mind, but Li Shaowen doesn't love her after all, and Zhilan is his niece, so he can only persuade Jing Ru to open up, and there is no grass at the end of the world.

Mu Qing had no appetite, and picked a few bites of food with chopsticks. The newcomers both came to toast, and Li Shaowen's face was full of red, which was in stark contrast to Mu Qing's depression. Zhilan's eyes were only on Mu Qing, taking in his loneliness, surging with sadness. Jingru looked at Li Shaowen obsessively with a wine glass, but the latter was overjoyed and unaware.

Jingru suddenly got up and clinked glasses with Li Shaowen with a smile, and said, "Cousin and sister-in-law, I wish you a happy newlywed and grow old together." I'll give Cousin Shaowen a glass first. She threw her head up and drank.

Li Shaowen did it. Zhilan looked at her in amazement, didn't she blame herself? She thinks that she has no face for Jingru, and Jingru will definitely think that she has snatched love from her sword and is full of resentment towards herself. A "cousin-in-law" surprised Zhilan, but there was a follow-up. Jing Rujiao smiled and said, "Sister Lan, oh no. Now that you are my cousin-in-law, I also toast you with a glass and drink it dry in one gulp! ”

She drank again, Zhilan held the cup, she hadn't drunk much, the previous tables said that it was a toast, but she only sipped a little. Jing Ru knew that she drank very poorly, and she obviously wanted to see her appearance.

Li Shaowen said to Zhilan: "Today's celebration is rare, they are all from my mother's family, you might as well drink a little." ”

"I'll drink it for her." Mu Qing took the wine glass in Zhilan's hand and drank it in one breath at Jingru.

"I'll give you another drink." Mu Qing's stalk neck is another cup of belly.

"Brother Qing, you ......" Jing Ru wanted to be embarrassed, but she didn't expect Mu Qing to intervene, so she had to give up.

"Brother, you'll get drunk soon if you drink like this." Zhilan worriedly persuaded, "Don't drink anymore." ”

Mu Qing shook her head stubbornly, deliberately not looking at her, and didn't say a word. Jingru didn't achieve her goal, and sat down sullenly. After Shaowen finished toasting, she took Zhilan to the other table, she turned around and peeked at Mu Qing, who was holding a wine glass and drinking stuffy wine.

After a while, several elders of the Zhou family saw some clues, and these young people had complicated feelings. The old man is a person who has come over, and he can see that Jingru is like that girl, and I am afraid that there is Li Shaowen in his heart. Qing'er, he knows that looking at that kind of eyes and emotions, he is afraid that he has a deep love for Lan Yatou. The love is difficult for the hero, and the girl Lan is already married to Li Shaowen, so she has to help Qing'er get through this hurdle.

Yuehua took the opportunity to turn her head and fly a glance at Qi Shan, and Qi Shan smiled sweetly. Yuchun looked at Zhilan and was very pleased, her complexion had improved a lot. When toasting, Master Qi was still expressionless and had nothing to do with himself, only Yuchun was happy for her. Zhilan smiled politely, and then moved to the next table with Li Shaowen.

The feast will eventually be over. When saying goodbye, Mu Qingtu became sad, he turned around to say something, and finally stepped into the car and left. Bidding farewell to all the guests, Li Shaowen hugged Zhilan tightly, this banquet was dealt with, her energy seemed to be exhausted, she was soft and had no strength, her heart followed Mu Qing away, and the song on the scene was scattered, leaving only empty tables and stools, which made her feel extremely lonely.

She and Shaowen sat side by side in the back seat, their heads resting on the backrest, their eyes closed. Shaowen was distressed and pulled her directly into his arms.

Arrived at Li's mansion in a moment, the clever maid helped Master Li and the two little aunts out of the car respectively, and Zhilan who came down looked at the magnificent mansion and sighed, she came to the last birthday banquet, and she didn't want this to be her destination.

Master Li and Wan Xinqiao sat down in the living room. Li Shaowen came in with Zhilan and shouted respectfully: "Dad, mother." ”

Zhilan shouted as well. The maid came up with a tray with two teacups on it, and said, "Please ask the young grandmother to serve tea for the old lady." ”

Zhilan knelt down to offer tea. Master Li smiled and said, "The new daughter-in-law, please get up quickly." ”

Wan Xinqiao said solemnly: "Don't be busy, since you have become a member of my family, you must abide by the rules of our Li family." ”

Saying that, he put the tea aside and asked the maid to put it aside, "First, every morning after washing, I should go to my in-laws' room to say hello before breakfast; Second, you should keep in mind what your in-laws tell you and do it quickly; Third, listen to your husband, who says you can't answer one; Fourth, you are new to the house, and you should get familiar with the servants and maids at home as soon as possible. Starting tomorrow, the housekeeper will give you a roster and he will give you a detailed description of each person's duties. In addition, if you have any other things to do before marriage, you can't do it anymore when you get married. ”

Zhilan listened to Wan Xinqiao's words, thinking of following the customs, and replied with low eyebrows: "Everything is up to my mother." ”

"In addition, you only brought a dowry maid, I see that Shuanghua is clever and careful, so let her follow you."

Shuanghua is the maid who holds the teacup, about eighteen or nineteen, the appearance of the birth is thick, the little girl seems to have a group face, and the water and tea are steady and old-fashioned, which shows that people cannot be judged by their appearance. Shuanghua responded and shouted to the young grandmother.

"I'm tired today. Rest well, all of you. Wan Xinqiao made up his mind and waved his hand.

Immediately, there was a maid to take Shao Wenzhilan to the new room in the east wing on the second floor, the house was newly furnished, mainly red, the happy tent and candles were ready, the bed was all changed into a complete set of bedding, and the good wife ordered someone to sprinkle the tent with peanuts, longan, lotus seeds and other dried fruits.

"Treat the bride and groom to a glass of wine." As soon as the newcomer arrived, someone put two silver wine glasses full of wine, handed them to Li Shaowen and Zhilan respectively, and the two of them drank hand in hand. The etiquette was now over, and the maid packed up and retreated.

Li Shaowen greedily looked at his bride through the candlelight. After a day of tossing, Zhilan was extremely tired and rested against the bed rail. Shaowen became more and more happy, and hugged her to kiss.

Zhilan twisted her face and pushed him, "I'm so tired today." Don't want to...... Why don't you sit on the chaise longue next to you? ”

"How can you not live in a double room on your wedding night?" Shaowen was displeased, and as he said that, he wanted to put her down on the bed.

Zhilan suddenly tensed her nerves, she suddenly remembered the scene in the car, and couldn't help hugging her body in fear.

Seeing this, Shaowen's heart tightened, and he didn't make any further moves, he was worried about stimulating her, so he let go of her and said, "Okay, I'll go to the study and sleep." He wrapped the quilt casually and walked out of the room.

"What? Yesterday, the eldest young master slept in the study? What a system this becomes! Go and find me Zhou Zhilan! Someone had already reported Wan Xinqiao's new house last night, and she was furious and slapped the table and lost her temper.

Zhilan chose the bed, and when she first arrived at Li's house, she was not used to sleeping unsteadily, and she was still a little dizzy after washing. Shuanghua came to report, describing it vividly, saying how Mrs. slapped the mahogany Eight Immortals table loudly, and said that the old man in Li's house was not counted, and it all depended on Mrs. Li's snort, if she made Mrs. angry, she would not be able to eat and walk. The more Yancui listened, the more nervous the young lady became, and Zhilan heard that her mother-in-law was losing her temper in the hall, and her face was not expressive, and her heart was still up and down.

She moved to see Wan Xinqiao, figuring out what her mother-in-law wanted to ask and how to answer along the way.

"Mother, what's the matter with me?"

"Zhou Zhilan, didn't your mother teach you when you got married?" Wan Xinqiao scolded his head and face, "Why did you let Shaowen sleep alone in the study last night?" How did you become a wife? ”

"I ......" didn't expect to be questioned by her mother-in-law for not sharing the same bed, and she couldn't justify it.

"Mother, don't be embarrassed Lan'er. Yesterday she was so tired, I was afraid that she would not get used to it when she first arrived, so she took the initiative to move to the study to sleep. Shaowen said lightly, "It's not a big deal, I have a long stream with her, how can we be in the morning and twilight?" ”

"You're partial to her!" Wan Xinqiao knew that he was excusing Lan for it, and he was quite displeased.

"Mother, don't be so nervous." Li Shaowen casually dusted off his sleeves, "Lan'er, I'll go to work in Zhihe, and I'll try to come back early today to accompany you." Isn't it time for my mother to eat? I'm hungry. ”

"Yes, yes, you see I forgot." Wan Xinqiao heard his son mention breakfast, and couldn't help but blame himself for his negligence, and hurriedly ordered someone to eat.

Zhilan looked around, she didn't find that the decoration of the Li Mansion was so simple and conservative during the birthday banquet, and the style was completely different from her own home, and there were red wood carved hollow medieval decorations everywhere, which made her feel a sense of depression and discomfort for no reason, but fortunately, her new house was decorated with festive decorations, diluting this heavy and solemn atmosphere.

"You can come along." Wan Xinqiao instructed Zhi Lan, the first feeling is very important, even if Zhi Lan lowers her eyebrows and pleases her eyes, she always remembers the way she took the box, it seems that there is a phoenix piercing peony piercing her eyes in front of her, and she can't like it.

Zhilan's new daughter-in-law doesn't listen much. The two aunts chatted a few words about the dishes and the weather, and Wan Xinqiao occasionally echoed a few words. Master Li handed over all the power to Shaowen, regardless of everything, indulging in calligraphy and raising flowers every day, if he talked about raising flowers and planting grass, he would be able to talk for a long time.

Seeing Shao Wen sitting beside her for a quick meal, she actually mistook it for Mu Qing, and she was in a trance for a moment.

"Unappetizing?" Shaowen caught a glimpse of her stopping her chopsticks.

"Nope." Zhilan shook his head.

"Butler Fu, when the meal is finished, I will bring the eldest and younger grandmothers to familiarize themselves with it." Wan Xinqiao remembered the task assigned to Zhilan yesterday.

"Yes."

Li Shaowen quickly finished eating the meal bag in front of him, drank a glass of milk, took the coat handed by Shuangling, and hurried out. As soon as Li Shaowen left, the family dispersed. Zhilan didn't dare to move, and only waited for Wan Xinqiao's order to remove the dishes before getting up.

"Young grandma, please come here." Butler Fu stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.

Zhilan also follows suit.

She looked at the stack of rosters, and asked the butler Fu to bring the maids and servants to sit down, but she also learned about them. In the end, she could roughly distinguish the names of the maids and servants on the scene, and also understood where they were rough. Wan Xinqiao tested her and was quite satisfied with her intelligence.

Li Shaowen came back very late, he had dinner outside, and after he came back, he quietly apologized to Zhilan, saying that important guests had to accompany him. Wan Xinqiao specially ordered Shuangling to bring a bowl of ginseng soup and send it, Zhilan knew that she was not a drunkard, and it seemed that Shaowen had to be left behind no matter what.

Frost came to make the bed and laid a white veil. Zhilan was puzzled and opened her lips to ask, but Shaowen understood it and glanced at her.

The door was closed, and Shaowen was facing her, which made her a little embarrassed. Shaowen took out a small bottle of chicken blood from the drawer and sprinkled it on a white cloth to wait for it to dry. Zhilan watched his movements quietly, Li Shaowen pulled up the handkerchief and put it on the table next to him, and said with a smile: "That's what it means when you look at it like this." ”

"What is this?" Zhilan was still puzzled.

"You! This is the fall red. Shaowen whispered a few words to her, and Zhilan's face turned red.

Tonight is the candle in the cave room for the two. Zhilan forced herself to accept him, but as soon as he got closer, she would remember the scene in the car and tremble. Shaowen soothed her with words, trying to calm her down, Zhilan adjusted her breathing, to no avail, that fear and helplessness came from the subconscious. After trying it a few times, he planned to use a strong one, but the friction in her body hurt so badly that he couldn't bear it and had to lose the battle when he saw Zhilan curl up in pain.

"I'm sorry, I ......" Li Shaowen felt very apologetic.

She turned around and hugged the corner of the quilt and ignored him.

He was down, but he knew he could wait, and it would not be too late for her to truly accept him before enjoying the joy of fish and water.

He approached her and hugged her, wanting to have some love words with her, but when he turned his head to look, she seemed to be asleep.

Shuanghua presented Wan Xinqiao with a blood-stained white veil, Wan Xinqiao smiled with satisfaction, and said continuously: "Good, good, great." "I want the maid to take it to the bottom of the box.

"Shaowen, give your daughter-in-law more food." At dinner, Zhilan felt that since her mother-in-law saw the blood-stained white cloth in the morning, her tone of voice was much softer.
