Chapter 108: Asking for Comfort and Being Invited (Part I)
The meal has been set up in the flower hall, Yingshu smelled the fragrance from afar, and when she got closer, she saw a large round table with gold and silver steamed buns, red date rolls, beef shortbread, yam chicken porridge and other colorful breakfasts, and suddenly felt a great appetite, but after thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little lost in my heart.
According to the rules, the newly married daughter-in-law has to stand up for the rules, and if she wants to come here for breakfast, she is afraid that she will serve her in-laws and her husband to eat.
Ying Shu looked at everyone in the hall, and then felt that there was one person missing, so she asked Jin, "I don't know where the big brother is, why haven't you seen it?" I'm also good at saluting. ”
Jin smiled and said, "He, last night it was the Xishan camp that looked at those soldiers. You don't have to worry about him. ”
Ying Shu was shocked, thinking that when she saw Shen Hui before, Shen Hui gave herself the impression of being a polite and elegant scholar, but she didn't expect that she was actually a military general.
Jin seemed to have seen through Yingshu's thoughts, and only smiled: "He, it's good to study, but he prefers to dance with knives and guns, and I can't do it." ”
When the eldest princess heard this, she smiled and said, "Don't say that she can't do it, my mother can't control it!" They are brothers, they are all the same. I don't know how well I read, but I love it. ”
Ying Shu understood what the eldest princess meant, this dynasty is not a heavy literature and light on martial arts, but this is the wealth of the princess's mansion, but there is no need to be contaminated with these. Since ancient times, it has always been hard work in the army, and even if you get an idle job, it is difficult to ensure that you are tired and encounter things. And as parents, they are always afraid that their children will have a case, and if there is a real dispute, it will be unsafe in the army.
When the eldest princess said this, she sat down first. Then Hou Ye and Shen Bin sat down, Ying Shu saw the Jin family standing respectfully beside the princess, and knew that she was not worthy, so she had to learn to stand respectfully like the Jin family.
At this time, I understood why Wang Xifeng and Li Kun were so noble at the beginning, but they still had to stand.
Now it's his turn, and once again deepens the impression that the landlord's daughter-in-law is not good.
"What are you doing standing? Why don't you sit down and eat together? Why do you bother with all these false courtesies? The eldest princess of Zhaoming turned around and looked at Ying Shu and the Jin family.
Seeing that the Jin family was sitting, Yingshu didn't dare to sit, and only waited for the eldest princess and Mother Bai to invite her to sit before she dared to sit.
The eldest princess only smiled: "You kid, why are you so formal?" Our family is not the mean people who want the new daughter-in-law to stand up for the rules, why bother to live as a family? ”
Ying Shu laughed with her, and said something like she didn't dare to encroach on herself as a new daughter-in-law, and only wanted to serve her husband and in-laws.
However, in my heart, I thought, "If you didn't pay attention to the rules, you wouldn't put on so much pomp." Shouldn't I be careful? ”
This princess's mansion is, to put it bluntly, a small palace. How can I not be cautious?
Shen Bin smiled and sandwiched a piece of crispy slag shortbread for Yingshu, the shortbread smelled fragrant, which actually appealed to the appetite. It's just that Yingshu doesn't dare to be too arrogant, after all, it's always good to show your appetite when eating in front of your elders for the first time.
In the end, faced with a table full of delicacies, Yingshu just ate a shortbread, drank half a bowl of millet and sea cucumber porridge and said that she was full.
Shen Bin smiled and ate two flower rolls, a steamed bun, and drank two bowls of porridge.
The eldest princess couldn't help frowning: "Brother Bin! Eat well, always watch what your daughter-in-law does? ”
Seeing this, the Jin family took on the role of adjusting the atmosphere: "Brother Bin is afraid that he likes his new daughter-in-law too much, can't he take a look at it for fear of getting lost?" Then she pretended to remember something, and only said, "Oh, little uncle, aren't you afraid that I will take advantage of your dinner to rob your daughter-in-law?" ”
These words made everyone present laugh, and even though the little maid announced, "Uncle is back." ”
Hearing this, except for the eldest princess and the marquis, everyone stood up and saluted. I saw a man wearing a round-necked sleeve embroidered pine and bamboo pattern robe come in, looking a little like Shen Bin from a distance, but his figure was slightly wider than Shen Bin, but he was also gentle and polite, naturally much more solemn than Shen Bin.
Well, it's still the gentle and elegant Brother Shen in my memory.
Shen Wei first saluted the eldest princess and Hou Ye, and then smiled faintly at Ying Shu, "The second brother finally married the younger brother and sister." Since then, it can be regarded as someone restraining the second brother, a wild horse, but the younger brother and sister have suffered a little. ”
Ying Shu smiled modestly and said that she was just here to "serve" Shen Bin.
Shen Bin stood behind Shen Bin and couldn't help pouting when he heard the words, "Big brother, what are you talking about?" Am I so unruly? ”
Shen Bin sat down with a smile, and everyone sat down, and Shen Bin said, "How are you?" You know it best in your own heart. However, the younger siblings also know it. After that, Shen Wei looked at Ying Shu, and looked at Shen Bin meaningfully, just like Ying Shu's expression when she ate Xipi in the past.
Only then did Ying Shu know why the group of celebrity couples were unwilling to be overly affectionate, after all, it was actually a little embarrassing to endure the gaze of enthusiastic fans.
The eldest princess looked at Shen Wei and was very concerned, "Brother Hui, can you be busy in the army?" Is it good to be obedient to the Hou Ye? ”
Shen Wei replied gently: "Marquis Wu is naturally good, he has been working hard recently, after all, the Baibu tribute is imminent, and the management of the soldiers must be strengthened, so don't go wrong at that time." ”
The eldest princess of Zhaoming nodded: "Well, naturally." After that, the eldest princess looked at Ying Shu again: "Second daughter-in-law, you are also preparing for this in the palace, are you okay?" ”
Ying Shu hurriedly said: "Everything is fine. It's just that the daughter-in-law is stupid, so she can't help much. Just don't add to the chaos. ”
The princess responded: "Then I'm afraid you'll have to work harder these days, but you have to take care of yourself." ”
It's strange that the eldest princess has been so concerned about herself from beginning to end, and Ying Shu felt embarrassed. According to the original expectation, the eldest princess is the most serious and dignified, and these families know how much she used to show up to open a store and manage money. The character of the eldest princess definitely doesn't like people like herself, and the newlywed daughter-in-law has to be manipulated by her mother-in-law, which is an inherent "beautiful custom", she is ready to be tortured for a while, but the result is very unexpected, and her life is very good.
Although the eldest princess is not as approachable as the eldest princess of Fuchang, she is not too difficult for herself, and she can occasionally express her concern.
In this way, I was even more panicked,
After eating, the eldest princess still didn't teach herself the rules of standing, but just instructed: "Tomorrow, don't forget to enter the palace to thank you, I won't follow you." Then someone reported: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the second master and the third master are here." ”
This is the rule that newlyweds should have, but the Shen family has a special situation, so naturally some processes are different, and even the ancestors of the temple have to move back, and they can't rush into the dignity of the princess. Therefore, the second and third masters did not stay in the heart hall early in the morning, but came from outside.
After all, according to the royal rules, the princess should build the princess's mansion according to the ritual system when she marries, the princess lives in the inner palace, the horse and her parents live in the outer garden, and the horse's brother is to open a mansion and live separately. Therefore, the Marquis of Yongfu lives in the Qixiang Garden outside, although in most cases the horse and the princess still live in the Cunxin Palace.
The eldest princess took everyone back to the main hall of the Heart Hall very kindly, and accepted the visit of the second and third masters.
The Shen family has a total of three brothers, all of whom are rich and idle, the second master and the second wife Luo have a son and a daughter, the eldest son Shen Wei, his wife Zhu, the second son Shen Wen, and his wife Wen. A daughter, Shen Bingying, is fifteen years old, unmarried, and is a cheerful and lively little girl; The third master and the third wife Pang had two sons, the eldest son Shen Fei married his wife Feng, and the second son Shen Wei married his wife Yu Wanwan, the daughter of Yu Qian, the squire of the military department. Ying Shu thought carefully about the homework done before getting married, the men of the Shen family for several generations did not seem to have concubines, and the family education was very good, so the first emperor would think of the Shen family when he promised the eldest princess to marry, although the men who originally married the princess generally did not have the life of concubines - except for Cheng Guogong, I heard that it was because the eldest princess of Fuchang did not want to bear the pain of childbirth and personally arranged a few concubines for Cheng Guogong, so she gave birth to Chengqi's brother and Cheng Bi.
Therefore, Shen Bin was an accident of the Shen family, not only did he have a concubine at a young age, but he also gave birth to a concubine. Thinking of this, Ying Shu couldn't help but glance at Shen Bin. Seeing that the man was still smiling heartlessly, she was very angry.
Because she is not her mother-in-law, Yingshu does not need to kneel and worship, as long as she walks up to the elders one by one and curtsy her, she can be regarded as having seen it, but she still has to accept the red envelope. Then it was a gift to the cousins and cousins, although the cousins were all sisters-in-law, they also returned the ceremony very respectfully, after all, the princess's daughter-in-law was different. Later, she met with Shen Bingying's cousin, and now it was Yingshu's turn to break the fortune, she gave out a white jade Maitreya Buddha pendant, a gold silk Zhuhai begonia flower hairpin, plus a jade bracelet.
The elders of the two rooms are more polite than the other, and no one holds the dignity of the elders and relatives, and the originally imagined very difficult visit to the elders was actually completed smoothly, Yingshu continued to be in an accident.
She actually felt that the days in the princess's mansion were still a little mixed?
Even more unexpectedly, when the princess was dispersed, and when she and Shen Bin returned to their own leisurely courtyard, Shen Bin also told himself that the rules of the eldest princess's mansion did not need to visit every day and eat together, as long as they asked for peace on the fifth day and had dinner together on the tenth day.
She was a little unconvinced: "Didn't you say that the eldest princess's mansion is the most important rule?" Why don't you say hello every day? ”
Shen Bin smiled: "Respecting the rules is not the same thing as asking for peace every day, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”
Having said that, but the days are too comfortable, Yingshu will feel guilty.
But when she thought of her great husband, who was five years old at such a young age, she suddenly didn't feel how comfortable her life was.
When Ying Shu and Shen Bin just returned to the Shanyue Residence where they lived in Youran Courtyard, they saw a familiar figure guarding the door, and when they saw themselves and Shen Bin coming back from a distance, they ran forward to salute: "Hello to Grandma, Hello to Grandma." ”
At hand, there is also a child in hand.
