Pucao took a group of little daughters-in-law to be busy in the stove, but was found by Lizheng Niang, and she was forced to change into a brocade dress that went out, as a greeting to many guests as a family member. In less than a moment, the grass was tossed and sweated, but it was better to clean it in the stove. But she also knew that Lizheng Niangzi had good intentions, for fear that she would be suppressed by the bride who entered the door, so she reluctantly insisted until her cheeks were sore with laughter.

Finally, the night passed, and Zhang Gui, who enjoyed the warmth of the red candle tent early the next morning, took his new daughter-in-law to greet everyone. Several clan elders in the village and Li Zheng naturally wanted to come to join in the fun, Pu Cao moved tables and chairs to the courtyard, personally brought tea to the old people, and casually talked about all kinds of vegetables and vegetables that grew well in the field, and coaxed them to smile before sitting on the main seat.

Peach Blossom wore a new dress, smiled and leaned beside her sister-in-law, waiting to see what the new sister-in-law looked like. Shanzi was fiddling with wooden knives and swords, his face full of indifference.

Soon, Zhang Gui took the original Miss Chu, and now the second sister-in-law Zhang came out. Miss Chu's maiden name is called Ye Mei, which means that the eyebrows are like willow leaves. Xu is God's mercy, she is really delicate, and she has been pampered by her mother for more than ten years, her posture and bearing are naturally much more beautiful than many girls in the village, and all the men, women and children in the courtyard are smiling and praised, so beautiful new daughter-in-law.

The table was secretly hiding at the door, and when he saw this, his eyes were even more red and swollen from crying. Dong's fourth daughter-in-law, who was late because of trivial matters at home, happened to come to her and hurriedly pulled her home.

Needless to say, Widow Dong beat her daughter again, and the mother cried even more at the end. After crying, Widow Dong took her daughter back to the house, and began to think about asking relatives and friends to help inquire about suitable people, and said goodbye to her two daughters. Especially at the full table, Zhang Gui is already married, and she must not be allowed to stay at home for more, otherwise if something ugly happens, this girl's reputation will be ruined.

does not mention how the widow Dong calculates and acts, only that Zhang Gui took Ye Mei to salute the clan elders and Li Zheng, and the clan elders and Li Zheng are not stingy people, and each of them gave a red envelope full of copper coins as a meeting gift. Ye Mei accepted it shyly and timidly, and finally saluted and thanked him, which was very decent and generous, which caused the villagers to nod and praise.

It's a pity, I don't know if Ye Mei carelessly forgot, or if the family didn't inquire about the Zhang family's affairs in advance. When they arrived at the little couple Depucao, Ye Mei didn't say that she offered her own clothes, shoes and socks, but she didn't even give a big gift, she just bent her body and was done.

The people of the village were amazed, although Pucao was only Zhang Gui's widowed sister-in-law, but the Zhang family from the destruction of the family to today's prosperity and wealth are all the credit of Pucao. Not to mention anything else, even Zhang Gui's talent and fame are also provided by Pucao. Chu Yemei, as Zhang Gui's wife, is just disrespectful to Pucao like a mother-in-law, at least she has to be polite and thoughtful, how can she be so lazy?

Thinking like this, everyone's faces turned cold. Ye Mei didn't seem to notice, smiled and took Peach Blossom's hand and asked for a long question, and finally turned around and took a piece of jade pendant from the tray held by the maid Xiaoque to her as a meeting gift.

Peach Blossom hesitated to turn around and look at her sister-in-law, and then looked at everyone's expressions, and timidly excused herself, "Thank you second sister-in-law, it's just that Peach Blossom already has two jade pendants, and she can't ask for her sister-in-law's beloved things anymore." ”

Ye Mei thought that the peasant children had never seen the world, so she would inevitably bring her sister-in-law over. Who would have thought that Peach Blossom not only refused in public, but was even afraid that she would not believe it, so she reached out and pulled out a piece of warm and soft mutton fat jade from her collar, which was much better than her jade pendant.

A look of chagrin flashed in Ye Mei's eyes, but he still smiled and stuffed the jade pendant into Peach Blossom's hand, and said with a smile, "This is given by my sister-in-law, you can take it." ”

What else did Peach Blossom want to say, Ye Mei already looked at Shanzi again and asked Zhang Gui with a puzzled expression, "This... Is it our little brother? ”

Zhang Gui is regretting that he didn't tell his daughter-in-law carefully last night, so that she lost face in the village. Suddenly hearing this, he replied, "Ah, this is the righteous brother recognized by my sister-in-law." ”

"Oh, really?" Ye Mei replied lightly, and immediately turned his head and ignored Shanzi.

It is said that children are the most sensitive, and anyone can tell whether they really like him or fake flattery. Shanzi didn't like an outsider in this house out of thin air, and seeing that she had just despised her sister, she was already glaring angrily. At this time, he directly pulled out the wooden sword and stopped Ye Mei, and shouted loudly, "Didn't your father and mother teach you etiquette, don't you know that you want to kowtow to my sister?" This is my sister's home, and you should bow even if you are a guest. ”

Ye Mei seemed to be frightened, hid behind Zhang Gui, and complained in a low voice, "This kid is so barbaric, too uneducated!" ”

Zhang Gui has been with Chu Fei for a while, and he also knows a little about his relationship with Shanzi, so it is naturally difficult to speak out and help his daughter-in-law scold. So he looked at Pucao with a calm face and said, "Sister-in-law is not blocking the mountain!" The elders are here, don't let him be rude. ”

Pu Cao lowered her eyes, smiled and took a sip of tea from the teacup in her hand, as if she hadn't heard this. On the side, Aunt Chen and Chunni were wronged for her, and Chunni was the first to speak out in her temper, "What your brother said is not right, Shanzi is only seven or eight years old, and he hasn't finished reading a thousand-word text, and he still knows that your daughter-in-law should kowtow to Pucao, why are you pretending to be stupid?" ”

"Chunni is right, the old saying is that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, the Zhang family has always been the head of Pucao, how she treats your brothers and sisters, everyone in the village sees it. Now that you have a family, you husband and wife should kowtow to Pucao. ”

Aunt Chen also opened her mouth to help, but after all, she is old and has room to do things, and what she said is quite mellow. When it was Chen's second sister-in-law's turn, the words were a little unpleasant.

"Yo, mother, don't embarrass others. Your brother is now a talented man, his knees are expensive, and his daughter-in-law is also a scholarly lady, how can we, the unkempt peasant women all day long, get into the eyes of others. ”

"That is, it is said that the draught does not forget to dig wells. But the white-eyed wolves who really drink water and drink enough feel that they should be shared, who still thinks about the hard work of the well diggers. ”

The more Zhang Gui listened, the redder his face became, and he secretly looked at several clan elders and Li Zheng's face was also a little bad, so he had to defend himself, "Your eldest lady and sister-in-law misunderstood, it's all because I didn't make it clear last night, she didn't know the situation at home when she first came." I'll take her to see my sister-in-law again..."

After he finished speaking, he took Ye Mei, who was reluctant, and knelt down and kowtowed to Pu Cao. Pu Cao naturally didn't want to be a small-minded name in front of the villagers, so she hurriedly smiled and helped them up, and finally took a pair of silver twisted silk bracelets from Chunying's hand and handed them to Ye Mei as a greeting gift.

Everyone saw it in their eyes, and everyone nodded, secretly praising Pucao for having the bearing of an eldest sister-in-law.

The Zhang family was no longer lively to see, and everyone dispersed after a few more gossips. Ye Mei snorted and walked back to the house, pulled out the handkerchief and wiped her tears. Zhang Gui went in to persuade a few words, but she ignored it, Zhang Gui made a fuss, and when his temper came up, he threw his sleeves and left.

Seeing this, Ye Mei cried even more sadly when she remembered her lover who was obedient to her, and finally she called her personal maid Xiaoque to step forward and carefully instructed, "I originally thought that it would be easier to marry into the Zhang family without my mother-in-law watching." I didn't expect that the little widow in this family is not easy to mess with, you will go out in a while and tell your father and brother, and step up to find Mo Lang for me. If you find it, you will not be able to mention the benefits of your family. When I'm gone, I'll set you free. ”

A flash of ecstasy flashed in Xiao Finch's eyes, and he hurriedly bowed down and persuaded, "Miss, you will have to live in Zhang's house for a while in the future, and you may need your aunt's help in some things." Even if you don't like him, you have to pretend and don't make too much trouble. ”

Ye Mei thought about it and understood that the little girl's words made sense, so she wiped her tears and took a hundred and ten copper coins to drive her out to run errands. In the end, she reluctantly pondered how to please Zhang Gui.

Chunni and Chen's second sister-in-law, a few little daughters-in-law who were good friends with Pucao, were sitting in the east wing and gossiping with Pucao, and they were all indignant for her. There was no anger on Pu Cao's face, for her, a delicate woman on the surface and stabbed a knife in the back was a headache. A delicate lady like Ye Mei has not gone through the battle in the courtyard of the deep house, and it is best to deal with it in person as soon as she comes up.

Everyone was laughing, Chen's second sister-in-law heard the movement in the courtyard and opened a window crack to look, and when she saw the new daughter-in-law's little maid pulled the package out of the door, she immediately pouted and whispered, "I see that this new daughter-in-law is not a good thing, so I sent the little girl to run out on the first day of entering the door, who knows what bad ideas to fight." Pucao, you can't be too soft-hearted in the future, you have to pay more attention to the two masters and servants. ”

The rest of the people also opened their mouths to convince them, and patted their chests and promised to help Pucao carefully monitor this master and servant, and completely regarded Pucao as an ignorant child to protect and love. Pucao listened to it in his ears and warmed his heart, saying that he couldn't open the box and find some big rulers to come out, and send this piece of fine cotton to make clothes and pants for the children, and send that piece of silk embroidered handkerchief, so that everyone laughed from ear to ear.

I don't know what Ye Mei thought of, after Zhang Gui came back at noon, he only entered the house once, and when he came out again, he became smiling.

Soon, it was time to return to the door on the third day. Zhang Gui called Dongzi to help set up the car early in the morning, but Dongzi ordered him to get busy under the pretext that his master had something, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Guier's words at all.

Zhang Gui was angry and wanted to do it himself, but he was almost kicked by the horse. Later, Liu Housheng next door couldn't see it, but he reached out to help and barely put the carriage on it.

Ye Mei saw everything in his eyes, and naturally refused to miss this opportunity, and said a lot of things sourly, which made Zhang Gui's eyes glaring at Dongxiang more and more annoyed.

Peach Blossom followed aside to help get the gift box, and when she saw this, she whispered for her sister-in-law, "Brother Dongzi is from the Fang family, and his sister-in-law is not easy to call him." ”
