Ruqing was instructed by the old lady, these days all her thoughts are on the ** subordinate, every day let Shen Pozi and Hu's mother take the trouble to teach a few little girls rules and codes of conduct, do well, reward 20 hanging money, do not do well, do not reward. Mrs. Shen was only the lowest-level rough servant mother-in-law in the Li family's house before, but because of several times in the inner house plan, she helped Ruqing a lot, and now she is the first-class mother-in-law by Ruqing's side, and she is on an equal footing with Mother Hu, and Mrs. Shen does live up to Ruqing's expectations. Even Mama Hu, who has been in charge of the servant woman for many years, is willing to bow down.

And agarwood, worthy of being a big girl, under the guidance of Mrs. Shen, the progress is even more rapid and fast, and soon the majesty of the big girl came out, although she is only ten years old, but she has aged a lot when she acts and speaks.

However, the only thing that gives Hu's mother a headache is Linglong, this girl is absolutely loyal to Ruqing, and her hands and feet are also flexible, but she is careless, and her mistakes are always repeated. In the end, Ruqing saw that this rotten wood could no longer be carved in detail, so she had to give up, but comforted Mother Hu, who was about to have a stroke, "Forget it, there are no perfect people in this world, although Linglong is full of shortcomings, but these eyes are neat, and the reaction of hands and feet is not slow." In the future, let her be in charge of stalking. "Ju Qing rummaged through the things in her house before, and she still found it Linglong. Ju Qing secretly sent tea and snacks to Fang Jinglan, but Linglong secretly locked it. Although this girl can't remember the rules and regulations, she is extremely accurate in remembering people and things. Since this is her forte, let her continue to play.

When Ruqing praised her strengths, within two days, she brought back a super gossip for Ruqing to share, to show that she was not a useless person, but she didn't use it on the blade.

The gossip news brought back by Linglong really made Ruqing excited for a while, first of all, a message came from Beijing: Princess Jing has locked the two thousand gold of Zeyun Marquis Mansion, and the credibility of the news is ninety-five. At this moment, Rushan is doomed to disappointment. Ruqing imagined Rushan's expression, and was very unkindly happy.

Another news also made Ruqing quite happy, I heard that Fang Jinglan was skeptical about the He family's eagerness to get married, although he agreed to the marriage of the He family, but also secretly sent someone to the capital to inquire, and the inquirer came back and said that the old lady of the He family is indeed not as big as before, and the second girl of the He family is also quite famous in the boudoir. After Fang Jinglan listened, he really put his mind at ease.

I don't know how Linglong found out, anyway, Ruqing listened to the future sister-in-law's behavior, and she was quite relieved. Then he put the gifts he had prepared into the box again, and rummaged through the wardrobes to find them, and asked curiously, "What is the girl looking for?" ”

"This previous gift is no longer suitable, I have to find another gift to give." In fact, I'm used to it, this ancient life is still good, at least it's very leisurely, but the only thing that gives her a headache is the annoyance of etiquette. Brother Zhili wants to get married, if she is in modern times, a person of her age only needs to wait for a gift with her hands open, where is it still like now, she has to think about what gift to give, which can not only satisfy the new sister-in-law, but also not make herself feel pain.

Yes, Ruqing admits that she is stingy, stingy, and even stingy, because of Fang Jinglan's promotion over the years, she has also stained a lot of light and saved a lot of private houses, but these things can only go in, not out, let her send expensive jewelry to play, it is estimated that she will be in pain for a few days. However, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to send it away, and then, Ruqing was sad again----

*

In the winter of the 27th year of Qingyuan, Zhili married the second daughter of the He family and entered the door. This is also the first time that Ruqing has watched the various rules and occasions of the ancient man's marriage. To welcome this day, the Fang family furnished tables and chairs, and at dawn and dusk, they were dressed in full costumes. In the ancestral hall, the old man of the Fang clan who came from Haining poured wine on the case, bowed to the lamp again, knelt down to sacrifice wine, got up, and sipped wine. The wrinkled clan elder said in a trembling voice: "Go to the baby, inherit my sect affairs, reluctantly respect, if there is a constant." ”

Zhili replied: "I'm afraid of being unbearable, and I don't dare to forget my life." Then, riding a horse, leading the greeting procession, knocking all the way to the woman's house.

Because Zhili has not yet performed the gift of a weak crown, and the girl of the He family has not yet reached the ceremony, although she has become a parent, she has not yet rounded the house, but it cannot change the identity of the He family as the daughter-in-law of the Fang family.

According to the rules, the new daughter-in-law will offer tea to her in-laws on the second day of entering the door, and the three sisters of Rushan also followed to the main hall, wanting to see the dignity of the new sister-in-law.

The new sister-in-law He Shi is wearing a red embroidered poppy carved silk gown, and the lower body is wearing an auspicious Ruyi moon skirt embroidered with the same color of money, a fairy bun on her head, a ruby earring, and a scarlet red gold on her neck to create a winged double flying cleat, with a joyful look all over her body, but she does not squint, her feet are not dusty, and there is no Ao under the skirt.

Ruqing said darkly: This is the real style of the lady in Mama Hua's mouth.

He first came to the old lady, knelt down respectfully, and then took the tea that had been prepared and respectfully handed it to the old lady.

The old lady took the teacup, took a symbolic sip, and looked at He slightly, although she was surprised, she didn't show anything, just a meaningful smile at Zhili.

The old lady signaled to Xia Lin's family, and Xia Lin's family had already taken a gold and silver plate and respectfully handed it to He Le, which was regarded as a meeting gift to the eldest daughter-in-law.

He Le took it and bowed respectfully.

Ruqing almost broke her neck, and she couldn't guess what He Dongdong was on the plate, so she could only guess his prestige from the jealous expression on Li's face.

He Shi met the old lady, and went straight to Fang Jinglan, Ying Ying bowed, the skirt under her body slightly spread out a lotus-like graceful arc, took the "Magpie Dengzhi" colored porcelain teacup from her mother-in-law, respectfully handed it to Fang Jinglan, raised her hands, and under the five-color piping embroidery cuffs inlaid with mink armpit hair, a pair of jade bracelets on her wrists were exposed.

Ruqing secretly shouted again, the new sister-in-law said goodbye, saluted, knelt down, served tea, and did it in one go, without any sense of hindrance. I wonder if if it were me, would there be such a style of everyone?

Fang Jinglan looked at He's round and dignified face, and the loving smile on her face could barely hold on, this --- mother-in-law, Mrs. He, is not bad, why, why is this He girl so --- dignified?

However, Fang Jinglan is always an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for a long time, although he was only surprised for a moment, he quickly adjusted, took the tea, and returned to the appearance of an elegant and loving elder, according to the rules and traditions, and said things like "raise your eyebrows and respect each other like guests". Originally, he wanted to say "spread the branches", but he thought that they had not yet completed the room, so he swallowed it back. Like drinking the tea of his daughter-in-law, Fang Jinglan glanced at his son with a little sympathy, and secretly thought in his heart: The daughter-in-law marrying into their Fang family is considered a low marriage, and for the sake of his son's future--- cough cough, he can only say goodbye to the comfortable days of three wives and four concubines.

Ruqing was indeed a little surprised when she saw the dignity of her new sister-in-law, the He family is a clear stream of powerful people who have been hairpins for generations, and the power and money are gathered, even if the breed genes are not good, but the daughter-in-law who marries the door believes that it should not be bad, this generation has been passed down from generation to generation, and its genes should also be improved and improved, right? The descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ugliest man in the world, have been improved by the excellent genes of several generations of beauties, isn't it also the handsomeness of men and the beauty of women? How can it be spread on He's body, it is so --- dignified and steady?

In fact, He's really not ugly, but it's not beautiful, with a round face, slender eyebrows, a nose and mouth that are also attractive, and his skin is also white, although he is not a beauty, he is not ugly. But Ruqing, who is used to seeing the beauties of Fangfu, also feels that this He family is indeed more ordinary, no wonder Fang Jinglan sympathizes with his son so much.

It was the Li family, looking at the He family's round and dignified but slightly ordinary face, and suddenly became loving. Is she considered a daughter-in-law who has been a daughter-in-law for many years? Is it also possible to put a mother-in-law on the shelf?

It's a pity that her wish was disappointed, and He visited Li, but not according to the daughter-in-law's kneeling ceremony to her mother-in-law, but a slight bow.

Li Shi was on fire at the moment, and slapped the fragrant wood chicken wings corset incense table engraved with Ruyi cloud pattern, and the tea lid on the small table touched the tea bowl and made a crisp sound, Li Shi said calmly: "I said Zhili daughter-in-law, is it difficult, I am not qualified enough for you to kneel and worship?" ”

Ruqing's heart jumped, in ancient times, the daughter-in-law entered the door and offered tea to her in-laws the next day, this is an immutable rule, no matter how noble the woman's identity is, this kowtow to her mother-in-law to offer tea is a matter of course, and it will not work when it comes to the emperor's old son. It's no wonder that Li is so angry, but He didn't answer, only smiled and looked at Zhili.

Zhili was wearing a red and festive robe today, and his face was even more handsome and extraordinary, he took a few steps forward, and his voice was flat, "Auntie, don't be angry, although the mother has been dead for many years, but the son is married, he should take his daughter-in-law to worship in front of the mother's tablet." He looked at Li's stiff face and said slowly: "After meeting with the elders of the family, I will bother my aunt to open the ancestral hall and let my son lead him to bow down to his mother." to tell her mother the spirit of her old man in heaven. ”

Ruqing didn't understand what Zhili meant, so she saw that Li Shiru was like a stunned chicken, and suddenly collapsed on the chair, with a blue face, and there was no movement for a long time.

It was the old lady who reacted first, and glanced at Li with a little sympathy.

Fang Jinglan also understood, regained his smile, and said gently to He Le: "Zhili is right, your mother-in-law has passed away early, this daughter-in-law enters the door, although she can't give a tea ceremony to her daughter-in-law, but this rule can't be abolished." Wait a while for your aunt to open the ancestral hall, wait to meet your ancestors, and then kowtow to your mother-in-law a few more times to show filial piety, you know? ”

He Le nodded and replied respectfully: "Daughter-in-law understands, thank you father-in-law for mentioning it." ”

Fang Jinglan stroked his beard, couldn't help but smile and nodded, and then gave Li a reassuring look.

Ruqing found that Li's face was blue and red, and it was estimated that she was very angry, but this really pitied her, thinking that she could be a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law, but she forgot that the etiquette of the family was the eldest son of Fang Fuyan, and the first wife was also her sister. In front of the steproom, the children born by the yuan match are only called stepmothers, but they cannot be respected as mothers-in-law. The status of this mother-in-law and stepmother is more than one notch apart. Therefore, for Li's stepmother, He only paid a visit, not a kneeling bow, which is reasonable and reasonable.

It can be imagined how tormented and embarrassed Li's heart was, but he still had to hold a smile on his face and prepare gifts for his daughter-in-law.

The gift given by Li was a bracelet made of high-quality mutton fat jade, Ruqing couldn't help but feel heartache for her, mutton fat jade is a good thing, I don't know what the flesh pain will become.

The next thing is for the juniors to meet with the eldest sister-in-law, Zhiyi is in the army, it is inconvenient to come back, omitted to show it, Zhilian got a beautiful jade pendant, and the three sisters of Rushan each got a purse and a handful of golden nudes. Rushan cushioned Dongdong in the purse, and secretly swept the purse in Rumei's hand, slightly annoyed.

And Ruqing also found that Rumei's purse was bigger and heavier than theirs, although the color and embroidery skills were the same, so she had to sigh, this concubine has other rules, no matter when and where it is clear!
