Qingdi was tossed all night again, and she wondered how this fool could be so keen on such a strenuous and useless thing, and it made her feel sore and weak...... She didn't remember when she fell asleep, but she only felt that she had just closed her eyes when she heard Chu Yaocen shouting one after another: "Little fox, it's dawn, get up!" ”

She tried to open her eyes, but the sky outside the window showed only a faint glimmer of morning light, and it was still early. She was so tired that she ignored Chu Yaocen, grabbed the quilt and closed her eyes again.

"Hurry up, didn't you say yesterday that you would get up early and practice martial arts with me?" Chu Yaocen lifted her quilt, blew hot air in her ear, and said, "Little fox, get up quickly, learn powerful martial arts from me, and go back to save your brother." ”

When Qingdi heard this, he opened his eyes suddenly. Yes, Wei'er is still in Yin's hands, how can she sleep here so easily.

She immediately got up from the bed, and after getting dressed, she went to the courtyard with Chu Yaocen to practice martial arts, just watching Chu Yaocen jumping up and down, full of energy, but she even struggled to lift the peachwood sword.

After insisting on the comparison for half an hour, Qingdi was almost tired and lay down, and sure enough, she found that she was not suitable for practicing Chu Yaocen's fast and strong kung fu, and she was still more suitable for practicing the sword dance that Lu Yin taught her. But that sword dance is useless.

After practicing, Qingdi and Chu Yaocen went back to the room to wash up, and had breakfast together, originally Qingdi was going to sleep after breakfast, but I didn't expect that Liu's mother opened it again yesterday, and said to the two of them: "Second young master, second young lady, Mrs. said to let the second young lady get to know someone today, if the two of them finish breakfast, go over now." ”

As the new daughter-in-law, Qingdi knew that she couldn't push it off or hide, so she glanced at the soft bed helplessly, and then turned back to Liu's mother and said, "Got it, you go back first, let's go over after a little preparation." ”

Liu's mother answered, then turned around and went out.

Qingdi and Chu Yaocen packed up and then went out of the courtyard, and after a while, they arrived at the main hall, where there were already many people sitting inside, as well as a few children. Except for the He family and Chu Linyuan's wife, who Qingdi had seen, she didn't know anyone else.

After Chu Yaocen arrived here, he obviously looked a little restrained, stood up straight, and shouted "Mother." ”

He nodded and asked Chu Yaocen to go over and sit down first, Qingdi was still standing in the middle, bowed slightly, and shouted, "Mother-in-law." ”

Seeing that she was quite well-behaved now, He Shi did not immediately embarrass her, nodded his head, and introduced the people present: "Your sister-in-law, you also saw it at dinner yesterday, she is the eldest daughter of the great writer Duanmuqi, and her identity is no worse than the daughter of the official eunuch family, and now she is in charge of the Chu family's back house with me, if you have any doubts in the future, you can ask her." ”

He deliberately emphasized that this sister-in-law is no worse than the daughter of the "official eunuch", isn't he talking about her? It's really funny, she never felt that she had anything to be proud of as the daughter of the former prime minister, but the He family, who thought that she would use this identity to be powerful in the Chu family?

Qingdi understood what He meant, but when he thought of what Yingkong had confessed last night, he didn't immediately refute her, and responded honestly, calling Duanmu "sister-in-law".

Duanmu is the daughter of a great writer, and if she really looks at it, she has a gentle and elegant temperament, smiled faintly at Qingdi, and nodded lightly.

He Shi pointed to the little boy who was about two or three years old leaning on Duanmu's body and said: "This is the eldest grandson of our Chu family, Chu Lihuan, who is three years old this year, so you and Yao Cen must have a child as soon as possible." ”

The child had been staring at Qingdi curiously, Qingdi smiled at him, Duanmu leaned over and said something in Chu Lihuan's ear, and he shouted to Qingdi in a milky voice: "Hello, auntie." ”

The smile on Qingdi's face widened by a point, don't look at Chu Linyuan's cold disregard, his son is really cute.

He didn't let Qingdi's gaze continue to stay on Chu Lihuan, and pointed to the other three older women expressionlessly and said, "This is Aunt Zhao, Aunt Huang, and Aunt Zou in the house, and the three of them are all the concubines of the master." By the way, Yao Cen's biological mother is also the master's concubine, but our Chu family only has two young masters, Lin Yuan and Yao Cen, so the master has always treated Yao Cen as a son-in-law, but you don't forget your identity, everything in the future must be based on Chu Xue, and everything must be listened to Chu Xue's words. ”

Presumably, this "first snow" is the name of the Duanmu clan. Qingdi naturally knew that Chu Yaocen was a concubine, and she never thought of borrowing Chu Yaocen to get anything from the Chu family, this He family was really nervous, and she was afraid that a concubine would turn the sky upside down? What's more, Chu Yaocen doesn't even have a little family business in his hands.

"Over there is your junior, Chu Yan'er, the daughter of Aunt Huang." He glanced at the girl standing beside Aunt Huang again.

The girl looked about the same size as Qingdi, very quiet, and called softly "second sister-in-law", and then stopped talking. Qingdi smiled at her slightly, and casually looked at Aunt Huang standing next to her, dressed very elegantly, but with gold jewelry on her head and wrists, which was a little out of place with this dress. She only glanced at Qingdi, then looked away and looked at He, as if waiting for He to speak, she should have a good relationship with He.

Aunt Zhao is even more plain, not only is she dressed plainly, she hardly has any makeup, her face is plain, the wrinkles on her face can be seen clearly, and she does not bring any jewelry, Qingdi estimates that she is the oldest, and she should have no status. The last Aunt Zou is the youngest of several aunts, she is beautiful and brightly dressed.

Qingdi tried her best to memorize these people, although she may not have to spend too much time with each other in the future, it will be much more convenient to be able to estimate what kind of people they are.

After He finished his introduction, someone handed over a tea tray. Qingdi stretched out his hand to take the tea tray, and the man retreated. Then Qingdi saw this teacup, and immediately tightened his brows, because there were only four cups of tea on the tea tray.

She knew that He meant to let her serve tea, but only four cups, how to give it? If there is only one cup, it is okay to give it to the He family, and if there are only two cups, then it will be given to the He family and the Duanmu family. If it was five cups, then the three aunts could also toast it, but now there are four cups. She didn't pay attention when she took the tea tray just now, and if she had noticed it at the time, she would have asked someone to bring a cup. Now that the next person is out, it's better for her to go out with her and ask her to bring a cup over, right?

Qingdi was a little troubled, but at the same time, she immediately knew that this was obviously a stumbling block that He gave her. The three aunts must be respectful, or disrespectful, otherwise she will offend people. And the He family, who is the head of the Chu family, must also be respected. Remove He's necessary cup of tea, and there are three cups, how can she divide it?

Give it to the three aunts, don't you give it to the Duanmu clan? This is absolutely unjustifiable. In a large family, the eldest son's main room can be regarded as a decent master, and the concubine of the head of the family, even if she is an elder, has a lower status than her. What should I do?

Just when Qingdi was in trouble, Duanmu suddenly spoke: "Mother-in-law, Lihuan is a little sleepy, I'll send her back to the room first." ”

After saying that, Duanmu stood up with Lihuan in his arms and made a gesture to leave. Qingdi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and at the same time cast a grateful look at Duanmu, as long as she left, these four cups of tea would be divided.

But He didn't let go of Qingdi so easily, she said to Duanmu: "Chu Xue, wait a while, drink the tea of your brother and sister first, otherwise it will be rude." Or are you unwilling to accept your younger siblings, so you don't want to drink her tea? ”

Qingdi tightened his hands holding the tea tray, it seems that He Shi must watch this scene?

Duanmu was also very helpless, He said so, she couldn't leave the table to help Qingdi anymore. At the same time, the three aunts had no intention of helping Qingdi, so Qingdi had to go to the He family to make tea first.

"Mother-in-law, please use tea." Qingdi maintained the respect in his tone and held a cup of tea for He.

He took the teacup and smiled meaningfully, waiting to see how she distributed the next three cups of tea.

Duanmu's just now was named by the He family to drink Qingdi's cup of tea, and Qingdi naturally wanted to give it to her, so he gave another cup of tea to Duanmu's and said, "Sister-in-law, please drink tea." ”

Duanmu smiled faintly at her and reached out to take the tea. Her hand just touched the tea cup of the green flute, and suddenly staggered, and accidentally retreated the green flute, the green flute was originally in order to free up his hand to give the Duanmu family tea, there was only one hand holding the tea tray, but now it was hit, not steady, the tea tray fell to the ground, and the remaining two teacups suddenly broke a splash.

Chu Yaocen rushed over with an arrow step, grabbed Qingdi's hand and asked, "Little fox, you weren't burned, were you?" ”

Qingdi shook his head: "The tea is warm, how can it burn me?" After speaking, he turned back to Duanmu and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Did you get wet? ”

"No, I'm really sorry, just now Lihuan suddenly hugged my leg, I was startled, I knocked over the tea tray in your hand, the most important thing is that you are fine." After Duanmu finished speaking, he recited "Broken peace, broken peace" on both sides, and then glanced at He Shi helplessly.

He Shi was obviously swept away by her, put the teacup on the case heavily, and said to Qingdi: "Okay, people have seen it today, you all go back to each place." ”

Everyone answered, and then went out from Yin's place.

They went out of the Yin family's courtyard together, and they left separately, Duanmu led Chu Lihuan to his own courtyard, Qingdi hurriedly went over to stop them and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you just now." ”

Duanmu smiled faintly at her and said, "You're welcome, it's just ......" Duanmu stopped halfway through his words and looked behind Qingdi and Chu Yaocen.
