Mrs. Xiang muttered that Afu was the most annoying, or cared about how her life was, the hall was quiet for a while, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at Xiang Fu, who was a new wife, and she was generous, which would also blush.

Yuan Niang smiled: "Madame is ashamed of the three girls." Our aunt is very good to the girl, and she was by her side all day yesterday. Mrs. Pei and the old lady were also very gentle to the three girls, the old slave was not there at the time, and Sakura came back to spread the word, saying that the Pei family had never seen such a peugeot and polite person as our three girls!"

Hearing the words, he drank honey to Mrs. Xiang, hugged Afu, shook her joy, and said to Huan Nian: "Huan Nian, don't forget to report to your mother, Mrs. Mu, her goddaughter is happy, and your mother is also happy."

Huan Nian hurriedly responded: "That's natural, my mother is looking forward to Fumei's well-being."

This Xiang Fu was raised in Mu Huannian's mother's house when she was a child, because Xiang Chun had chickenpox at that time, so she and Xiang Mingyan were sent to Yuyang Mu's house to avoid it. Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Xiang were also handkerchiefs, and when they were pregnant with Xiang Fu, it happened that Mrs. Mu took her third son Jin Heng to the capital to play, and she once promised a baby kiss to Xiang Fu in her mother's womb.

It's just that the high-ranking Pei family intends to get married, and Mrs. Xiang naturally doesn't want to marry her daughter to the ordinary merchant Jia Mu's family, so she pretends that it was a joke in the past, and she married Afu without saying a word.

On the one hand, I feel sorry for the third brother and Fumei who have lovers and it is difficult to become a family, on the other hand, I am annoyed that my mother-in-law is treacherous, ascending and stepping low, and on the other hand, I am happy that Fumei is also living well when she marries.

Xiang Fu had already noticed that there was only one master in the whole house, Huan Nian, who was not satisfied with the rules, and wanted to let Huan Nian sit down quickly: "Mother, I will have lunch in a while, and I will go with my sister-in-law to see the meal, right?" lest the husband be unaccustomed to eating. "Joke, it's only been a day since they got married, and the two had a meal together, and she forgot which hand Pei Shuyu used to hold chopsticks for dinner, how did she know what he liked to eat.

Anyway, take Huan Nian out of this hall first.

Mrs. Xiang originally wanted to rectify and rectify Master Xiang's concubines, but when she heard Afu mention her uncle, she suddenly felt that it was still a big deal for her uncle, so she waved her hand and let the big guy disperse.

Huan Nian and Ah Fu went to the small kitchen to watch the dishes, and Mrs. Xiang was surrounded by Xiang Chun and Aunt Yue.

When her mother's figure disappeared, Afu turned her head and said to Yuan Niang: "Yuan Niang, I will go to see the dishes with Sister Huan Nian, and you can take Sakura Wanwan to clean up my house." ”

Yuan Niang knew that she didn't want to follow herself, otherwise she wouldn't live in Xiangfu tonight, what would she do to clean up the house? But she has always been accustomed to the three girls, and Mu Huannian was a steady one when she was young, so she went with her with a smile.

Aphrocao was blessed and went away happily.

"Sister, I want to eat Xiaoxiang tea!" Afu dressed like a little adult, but she still looked childish when she smiled.

Huan Nian is only two years older than her, but her nature is calm, and she has been married for more than two years, so she looks like a housewife: "You have to call me sister-in-law!" Otherwise, the mother would be displeased when she heard it. ”

Afu made a face: "Why did my mother set rules for you again, these are all trivial things!" ”

Huan Nian's smile was a little reluctant: "How can there be rules, it's just a etiquette that should be followed." You, now that you're married, you have to be careful. ”

Afu knows that her mother is a mother-in-law who is not easy to get along with, and for more than two years, she has always been able to make her sister-in-law angry.

At that time, Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Mu were from similar backgrounds and had a very close relationship. Later, Mrs. Xiang married into the official family, while Mrs. Mu was still a merchant wife, and there was a more or less comparison between the sisters.

Huan Nian became the daughter-in-law of the Xiang family, and Mrs. Xiang always felt that it was a great favor she gave Mrs. Mu. Although Xiang Mingjun is not a talented successor, and Huannian is smart enough, the sense of superiority in Mrs. Xiang's heart is still inexhaustible.

Xiang Fu grew up in Mu's family, and he was much closer to Huannian than to his own sister-in-law, and when he was not married, he helped Mu Huannian and his mother fight wits and courage at home every day.

She held Huan Nian's hand and muttered for a long time without saying anything.

Huan Nian understands that on the one hand, she is a sister, and on the other hand, she is a mother-in-law, and it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs.

"Let's go, let's go look at the kitchen. Today is the first time to entertain Fumei's husband, I, who is a sister-in-law, can be more careful! ”

Ah Fu carried Huan Nian's forearm and said as she walked: "Others say this, sister-in-law, don't you understand me?" There was a rare layer of thin skin on her face, "My husband is also good to me, and my family is higher than mine, I should be grateful, but..."

Knowing the new year, she patted the back of Afu's hand: "I understand." ”

The two put the topic aside, said something that they didn't have, and looked at the fish soup that was tumbling in the stone pot, Afu put aside her worries again and got busy.

Huannian looked at her with a smile and thoughtfully. She always felt that Mrs. Xiang regarded marrying the Mu family as a kind of foil to the Mu family. Since it is a foil, a family affair is enough. Thinking about it this way, if she hadn't married into the Xiang family back then, maybe Jin Heng would have been able to marry Afu.

Thinking of Mingjun's wooden and old-fashioned appearance, she was even worse. It's like it's a good thing to get married.

The smoke was smoky, her eyes were gradually blurred, and she couldn't see Afu's figure, so she could only hope that the Pei family was generous, and let the little sister who had done everything she wanted from small things continue to go smoothly.

At lunch, Mrs. Xiang was not happy to sit together with men and women, and she was at a stalemate.

Although it is customary for the bride's brothers and sisters to sit together on the day of return, she just doesn't want the concubines to see her precious aunt.

Master Xiang, Xiang Gongzi and Pei Shuyu have been seated for a long time, and when they didn't see the ladies coming, Master Xiang was so angry that he threw his chopsticks and said to the maid waiting next to him: "Don't hurry up and urge!" Let my uncle wait for so long, what a system! ”

The maid went in a panic.

Mingjun toasted a glass of wine and said, "Pei Shangshu, I'm sorry, I'm afraid my sisters are busy preparing and delayed." ”

Pei Shuyu smiled and said that he was out of the way.

Ming Yan has a big head, what his brother said, for no reason, it makes people feel that several younger sisters are particularly concerned about the younger sister's uncle.

He just wanted to make up for a few words, but his brother Xiang Ming hurriedly said: "My sisters should still be waiting for Mrs., I think Mrs. is here to prepare food for us." ”

Shu Yu continued to smile. I feel ridiculous to my family: it's all a family, what are you depicting here? He has been married for three days, will he take a concubine from his sister-in-law?

Ming Yan saw that Ming Ze had already come over, so he smiled lightly.

The lady from the other side came before the voice arrived: "Let the master and aunt wait!" I ordered the grouper to be made in the kitchen, and it was a little late. ”

Shuyu turned around and saw Xiang Fu dressed in the morning, wearing moon-white homely clothes, with a round homely bun, revealing a slender neck line, but it was very eye-catching.

Mingjun got up and helped his mother to sit down, while Huan Nian stood aside, and the two didn't make the slightest eye contact.

Xiang Yan smiled and pressed Xiang Fu to the seat next to Shu Yu: "Why should the third sister be restrained, there is no need to be formal at the family banquet." ”

Xiang Fu laughed in her heart, where am I restrained...

Shu Yu spoke: "This is Afu's second sister, right?" ”

He didn't say "second aunt", but it made Xiang Yan, who wanted to kiss, feel cold.

Xiang Chun gave him a blessing: "I've seen Pei Shangshu." ”

Shu Yu got up and returned the salute with a cherished manner: "This is the eldest sister, my sister has always wanted to make friends with you, but I hate the opportunity but there are few opportunities." ”

That being said, everyone knows it's just a step. At that time, when Pei Man came to see each other, the two girls watched it, and finally chose Xiang Fu, Xiang Chun didn't just "want to make friends" but didn't get the opportunity.

Xiang Chun also knew that this was a good word, and sat down with low eyebrows.
