Chapter 224, plastic sisterhood
It's just that since the person came, Yan Yan didn't have a reason to get out, so she greeted everyone vaguely and skipped Yan Yu.
"You don't go to the upper room to accompany the second aunt, what are you doing in the stove room?" Yan Yan quipped.
"It's not the second brother yet, before the maid served tea, he pulled someone to bring it to you." Yan Tong replied with a smile.
Yan Yan shook his head with a smile, then went into the kitchen to explain a few words to the nurse, and took everyone back to the upper room, Lu You was talking with Yan Peng, and Ma was looking at the fireplace in the room, and there were a lot of things piled up in the middle of the hall, presumably they sent congratulatory gifts.
"Second uncle, second aunt, I'm sorry, I'm staring at the dishes in the stove room, and the maids are cleaning up the house in the back, please take care of me if I don't greet you well." After Yan Yan finished speaking, he was busy with Qingyu serving tea and snacks.
"This kid, polite to us? Come, tell the second aunt, what can the second aunt do for you? Ma Shi enthusiastically stepped forward and grabbed Yan Yan's hand and asked.
"No need, there is a maid and a mother-in-law, do you want the second aunt to sit on the kang in the house, or go to the back garden to go around?" Yan Yan suggested that she didn't have time to accompany the guests.
"Yan'er, what's going on with this stove, is this the wall of fire in the north?" Yan Peng asked, pointing to the fireplace.
"Yes, this thing is good, better than burning a kang, and the whole house is warm." Ma also boasted.
Yan Yan was just about to explain, but he saw a mother-in-law outside the door saying that someone from the Meng family had come.
When Yan Yan heard this, he thought it was his grandmother who was coming, so he hurriedly greeted him and went out of the upper room, Yan Yan knew that the Meng family came this time only a housekeeper mother, surnamed Wu, with a few mothers-in-law and small servants to send housewarming gifts, probably knowing that the Yan family had come to the daughter, Wu's mother and her party did not enter the upper room, but only waited in the hall.
Seeing Yan Yan, Mother Wu first relayed Mrs. Meng's words, saying that she knew that Yan Yan was busy entertaining distinguished guests today, so the elders didn't come to disturb her, and waited for Yan Yan to come to see her in the next few days.
"I also asked Mother Wu to go back for me to thank my grandmother and two uncles and aunts, and said that I would come to the door to thank Yan Yan in person after these two days." Yan Yan bowed to the south and replied.
"Little remember, this is a gift list, and please take a look at it." After speaking, Wu's mother presented a gift list to Yan Yan with both hands.
After Yan Yan took the gift list, Mother Wu knelt down and kowtowed to Yan Yan, "The little one won't bother the young one, the old lady is still waiting for the little one to go back to her life." ”
When Yan Yan heard this, she guessed that her grandmother was afraid of causing her trouble, so she ordered someone to leave immediately when her heart was delivered.
Seeing this, Yan Yan received this love, ordered Qinghe to reward the Meng family with a first-class seal, and then personally sent Wu's mother out of the hall.
Returning to the upper room again, Ma had already looked at the upper rooms, and was sitting on the upper table on the west side of the hall while drinking tea and talking to Yan Yu and Yan Tong about the size and layout of the house, and the things on the ground were still there.
"What about the second uncle and younger brothers?" Yan Yan didn't see Yan Peng and Lu You, so he asked casually.
"Your second uncle is in a hurry, so he has to be led by his uncle to the back to take a look, and he said that he wants to go to the back garden to take a look, Yan'er, come, tell your aunt, you move out, are the Lu family members happy? Did you say anything? Ma smiled and beckoned to Yan Yan.
Her husband is not around, so she can talk to Yan Yan well.
But Yan Yan didn't want to talk to her well, first, she was really busy, and secondly, she didn't want to look at each other and hate each other, so she smiled, "It's okay, I have said good things a long time ago, and there is nothing to be happy or unhappy." That's it, second aunt, there are still a few dishes on the side of my stove that I need to keep an eye on, you guys can use some tea at will first, and the queen mother and my mother-in-law will come in a while, and I will bother the second aunt to help me say hello. ”
Yan Yan said this on purpose, she wanted to see, knowing that the Lu family would come, could Yan Yu still sit still?
Because Yan Yan knows that there is an unwritten rule in the capital, a woman who has been married but has not married is not allowed to consult her mother-in-law's family casually, and she generally has to avoid this kind of occasion.
In the past, after the original owner and Lu Ming got married, although she also went to participate in some flower party parties, she generally took the initiative to avoid the Zhu family, but she still had a slight relationship with Lu Han, after all, the range of activities of the girls was together, and she couldn't avoid it if she wanted to, unless the original owner didn't go to the party.
But some parties, the original owner can push, and some can't, so it is inevitable that she will still meet Lu Han, fortunately, she knew Lu Han before the engagement, and it was not too embarrassing.
It's a pity that to paraphrase a phrase from later generations, it's just plastic sisterhood.
No, as soon as the original owner had an accident, he couldn't marry Lu Ming, and Lu Han quickly broke off the relationship with her.
Fortunately, Lu Han's belly was too big in this first month, and he only stayed at his parents' house for half a day, but Yan Yan also returned to his parents' house this half a day, so the two did not bump into each other again, saving Yan Yan to see her face.
"What? The Lu family will also come, who is coming? Ma interrupted Yan Yan's thoughts.
Knowing that the three elders of the Lu family were coming, Ma looked at Yan Yu, Yan Yu obviously knew this rule, and immediately avoided it, saying that it was for someone to send her home.
But when the words came out, Yan Yu looked at Yan Yan with a stumbling face.
Yan Yan knew that she wanted to stay, and wanted Yan Yan to send her to the backyard inner room or other remote rooms, so that maybe after the Lu family left, Yan Yu would be able to come out to meet the Empress Dowager or something.
It turned out that Ma's original intention was to bring Yan Yu to show his face in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, reminding and reminding the other party that Yan Yu was about to get married, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor should not be too biased towards Yan Yan, and it was the county lord's mansion and makeup and various rewards, poor Yan Yu only received two pieces of clothing from the Empress Dowager for the New Year, and the emperor and the queen did not say anything, so Ma's heart was not without ideas.
She didn't care about this reward, she was worried that after Yan Yu entered the door, the Lu family found that Yan Yu had no weight in the hearts of the queen mother and the emperor at all, and looked down on Yan Yu and even regretted marrying Yan Yu.
But Ma also knows that today's meal is not trivial, if the Queen Mother mistakenly thinks that she and Yan Yu do not understand the rules and do not abide by their duties, it will be troublesome, so she did not dare to say that she wanted to keep Yan Yu.
She didn't say to keep people, and Yan Yan wouldn't say to stay.
Seeing that Ma Shi instructed Sanqi to arrange for his mother-in-law to send Yan Yu back to the house, Yan Yan turned around and walked out, who knew that as soon as she arrived at the door, Ma Shi called her again, "Look at my fool, the gift list hasn't been given to you yet, and besides, should you also find someone to count these things and put them in?" ”
The last sentence refers to this pile of things on the ground.
She wanted the Queen Mother to see what congratulatory gifts she gave Yan Yan, but she was also afraid that she would be too deliberate and cause the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction.
