Chapter 16: The Return of Restlessness
The third day of the wedding is Guining, and the bride has to return to her parents' house with the thank you gift from her in-law's family, which also reflects the importance and liking of the in-laws to the bride.
Early in the morning, Zhan's mother was waiting outside the door of the main house, shouting at the little maid to prepare the carriage and pack up the items to bring back to Xiao's house.
Xiao Rongyue was not in a hurry, got up and called more than three or seven people to wait in front of her, and then invited Zhan's mother in: "Are all the items you brought back ready?" ”
Mrs. Du's Pei didn't know if she was really sick or pretending to be sick, and her daughter-in-law didn't care about such a thing, she pretended to be deaf and dumb and refused to ask, and the thank you gift sent back to the Xiao family was gone, so Xiao Rongyue had to prepare this gift herself.
Zhan's mother hurriedly said, "I have prepared clothes and incense." ”
Xiao Rongyue flipped through the gift list and nodded: "I'm still relieved that my mother is doing things, this time my mother will go back with me." ”
Zhan's mother came to serve so diligently in the morning, just to wait for this sentence, and agreed with a smile: "This is the duty of a slave, and the slave will let people pack up and accompany the lady back." ”
Xiao Rongyue saw her go out happily, the smile on the corner of her mouth turned cold, and she called Sanqi over: "Today, you stay here, take care of the yard, I'm afraid that those who have a heart before will have to think of a way to come over, so you will watch with your eyes wide open, remember who they are, and tell me when I come back." ”
Sanqi is an idea, and he will understand it with a few sentences.
Xiao Rongyue took Camellia and Zhan's mother out of the inner courtyard from the Half Moon Gate, and was about to get into the car at the side gate of Dufu, but heard someone say coldly: "Guining today, I'll send you back." ”
It's Du Huo, he has already asked people to lead the horse, waiting for Xiao Rongyue here.
Xiao Rongyue was not surprised, and said to him with a smile: "Then there is Lao Du Saburo." ”
She is now the identity of the lady of the Xiao family, and if the bride returns to her parents' house without her husband to accompany her, she will have to speak a lot, not to mention that she can still use Du Huo, and Du Huo ...... If the Xiao family's support is not received for a day, he will not easily give up the identity of the Xiao family's son-in-law for a day.
So they take what they need, and they can also sing a harmonious husband and wife who return home.
Du Huo frowned, looked at Xiao Rongyue politely and detached to thank him, turned around and got into the carriage without looking at him much, he was always a little awkward in his heart, turned over and ordered the carriage to follow, and went towards the Xiao family.
Compared with the blue tile gray wall scholarly door of Du Mansion, the Xiao family is more exquisite, the huge mansion servants are like clouds, the pavilions and pavilions are wide and new, and they occupy half of the land of Dieyun Fang, which shows that the Xiao family's title of the richest man in Jiangning is true.
For the day when Xiao Rongyue returned to Ningning, the Xiao family had already prepared, and made the servants wait outside the door early, and the house was also arranged, just waiting for the newlyweds to come back.
As soon as he entered the door, Du Huo was respectfully invited by the servants to the study in the front yard, and Xiao Rongyue was invited to the small flower hall in the inner courtyard for tea.
From the moment Mrs. Xiao Xiaoliu saw her, she took her hand and her eyes reddened: "Is Yue Niang okay over there?" How does the Du family treat you? But have you been wronged? ”
She asked while staring at Xiao Rongyue carefully, looking up and down, as if she was afraid of missing a little, and Zhang's mother who followed her explained with a smile: "The lady has only been married for three days, and the lady has not been talking for a long time, the day before the lady asked Zhan's mother to bring the words back, the lady was even more worried, and called someone to wait outside the door early in the morning, so she wanted to see the lady earlier." ”
Xiao Rongyue raised her eyes to look at the worry on Xiao Liu's face, listened to their words, pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you aunt for worrying, I'm fine." ”
Don't mention the affairs of the Du family, or call yourself aunt, Xiao Liu's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal, looked at Xiao Rongyue and whispered: "Mother Zhan came back and said about the Du family's Sanlang, what are you going to do, Yueniang?" ”
Xiao Rongyue asked people to take a few things, loosened the hem of her skirt, and crooked it on the platform: "What does my aunt think I should do?" ”
Xiao Yanagi frowned, glanced at Zhang's mother, and Zhang's mother bowed with her hands crossed and retreated with the other maids in the flower hall, leaving only Xiao Liu and Xiao Rongyue.
Xiaoliu sighed heavily: "Yue Niang, do you know what the Du family is, and what is the identity of the Du family, I can't say that next year's palace exam will be the title of the gold list, at that time, no matter how rich the Xiao family is, it can't be in the eyes of the Du family. ”
"Du Jiazaburo's talent appearance, you have seen it yourself in the past few days, and you must be satisfied, he is drunk and confused for a while, and after all, he still married you as a wife, can a servant girl still overshadow you? It's just something you can buy if you want to......"
Xiao Yanagi persuaded bitterly, and the appearance of planning for Xiao Rongyue coincided with the appearance in Xiao Rongyue's memory without difference.
At that time, Xiao's husband actually stayed in the study on the wedding night to spoil the maidservant, and the in-laws not only did not uphold justice, but blamed Xiao Rongyue for being a useless scourge, and even couldn't keep her husband, and forced her to marry, so it was easy to wait until Guining returned home, Xiao Rongyue couldn't see her father Xiao Jin after all, but was persuaded by her stepmother Xiaoliu.
Exactly the same rhetoric, exactly the same bitter words, but it's a pity that Xiao believed it and obediently went back to the Du family to be an obedient daughter-in-law, and Xiao Rongyue ......
She smiled: "That's what my aunt said, so I plan to take Yuzhu as a person in the room, as long as San Lang likes it." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at the Xiangfei curtain hanging in front of the door of the flower hall, where a pair of silk shoes had stopped for a long time, clearly listening to the sound of the conversation inside.
"Speaking of which, Yuzhu is just a maid who waits in the study, even if she accepts it, it is nothing, but that Pei Er Niang, even I pity and like it when I see it, her manners and conversations are polite, and her appearance is even more waterfront, which is really good-looking." Xiao Rongyue looked helpless, "I can't complain that San Lang likes it, I think about her in everything." ”
Sure enough, the owner of the silk shoes stopped, stomped his feet and turned away.
Xiao Liu's face was also much more ugly, and he asked, "Is it the niece of the eldest lady, the daughter of the Pei family?" How could it be in the Du family? ”
Xiao Rongyue retracted the gaze that fell outside the curtain, and said to her with a smile: "It is the lady of the Pei family in Chang'an, the eldest lady has been brought to the house for a few years, and she has been with San Lang's childhood sweetheart since she was a child, and now she is also in front of the eldest lady every day." ”
The cool fan in her hand hit a few times, and sighed: "I heard that I haven't decided to marry yet, and I don't know which Langjun can marry such a delicate beauty." ”
Koyanagi's face completely blackened.
