Chapter 6 Tea Ceremony
After killing people and burying corpses, I became grasshoppers on a rope with the eldest young master, and his attitude towards me was much better, not only asking the servants to arrange a place for me to live, but also asking the master to teach me to read and write.
It's not that I can't read a few words, but when my mother was alive, she taught me to read and write.
It was precisely because I had studied with my mother that I was favored by the eldest young master.
"You're smarter than the people under me, learn something, and be my deputy." When the eldest young master said this sentence without refusal, the blessing under his hand looked at me in shock.
I was a little flattered, and I sighed to myself and completely got on the thief ship.
But I found a way to survive.
The days of following the eldest young master are extremely easy, and since the killing that day, the eldest young master does not seem to plan to do anything else, and has been studying in the courtyard.
It has been three days since I entered the Luo family, and today is the day I will return to the door, but the eldest young master has already said that there is no need to return to the door.
I didn't want to go home either, so I thought it would be free today, but after breakfast, Lu Yuan brought me a new set of clothes.
"Grandma, I'm going to give tea to the old lady and Mrs. today, you have to dress up beautifully!"
Ordinary brides serve tea on the second day after entering the door, and I am several days late, and the rules of the Luo family are really incomprehensible.
Let Lu Yuan dress me, the person in the mirror is far from my impression.
"Grandma is so beautiful, and when it grows up completely in a few years, it may be even more beautiful than Miss Jinxian!" Lu Yuan's mouth is sweet, but I am not at all happy with this compliment.
The news of Fu Yin's disappearance has spread all over Nanjiang City in the past few days, and I heard that Miss Jinxian told the palace people about it, and the saint sent someone to investigate.
If anything is found out by then, the eldest young master and I will be headshots.
But when the eldest young master heard this, he didn't even frown, and reprimanded me for making a fuss and couldn't hold my breath.
Thinking about it, he was full of ink, and it was a piece of cake to cover up the fact of murder, and I panicked, but it was easy to show my feet.
Dressed neatly, Lu Yuan took me out the door.
The eldest young master was already waiting in the courtyard, he was wearing a gilded black robe and a white jade crown on his head, and he stood there without saying a word and looked at me.
Xu was afraid that he was going to have tea and meet people today, and his always indifferent eyes were disguised by him as warm and warm, and he couldn't see the danger of getting along in private.
"The eldest young master is so kind to the eldest young grandmother, he is willing to wait for you in the cold wind." Lu Yuan said good things when he saw the stitches.
I looked down slightly at the road beneath my feet, and found her sycophancy annoying.
"Let's go." The eldest young master said indifferently.
I obediently followed him half a step later, and used the meager etiquette I learned in the past three days to disguise myself as a lady, so as not to let the eldest young master lose face.
Suddenly, my hand was cold, and a bony hand took my hand.
"Be cautious in your words and deeds when serving tea, and I will answer anything I don't understand." The voice of the eldest young master startled me, and the hand that originally wanted to break free didn't dare to break free.
Along the way, I didn't have time to appreciate the luxury of the Luo family and came to the ancestral hall.
This time, there were many fewer people in the ancestral hall, and only Mrs. Luo and the second lady were sitting in the hall.
The position of the second lady is vacant, and that is the eldest young master's mother, that is, the position of the eldest lady.
The eldest lady eats fasting and worshipping Buddha in the Buddha hall all the year round, and she doesn't even come to her son's tea ceremony, and I suddenly feel a little sympathetic to the eldest young master.
"Da Lang is here, hurry up, come and show grandma!" Before kneeling on the ground to serve tea, Mrs. Luo called the eldest young master to the eldest young master with a distressed face.
They are all children who are not loved by their parents, but the eldest young master is much luckier than me, he has a grandmother who loves him, and a kind aunt, and I have nothing.
Putting away the jealousy in my heart, I stood in the hall at a loss.
"Jin Lan doesn't have to be restrained," at this time, the second lady spoke, she stood up and took my hand, "This tea ceremony is a formality, we are a family, get along more comfortably, and we don't have to treat ourselves as outsiders." ”
The second lady's words made me relax a little.
"No!" The eldest young master suddenly said, "Rudeness is not a rule, tea must be respected, etiquette must be observed, no rudeness!" ”
After the eldest young master's accusation, I don't care, but the second lady is an elder, and it should be unhappy to be accused by the junior in public.
But to my surprise, the second lady showed no signs of anger, but smiled and said yes without refutation.
There was no one in the hall who pointed out that the eldest young master was wrong, and they all acquiesced to the eldest young master's offense.
didn't wait for me to envy the eldest young master's freewheeling, so he pulled me to serve tea.
"Da Lang is not in good health, mother-in-law, let them stand and salute!" The second lady looked at Old Lady Luo and proposed.
Mrs. Luo frowned when she heard this, and looked at me.
Mrs. Luo is eighty and three years old this year, but she is old and strong, and her face is full of red light, and she is a long-lived and hundred-year-old appearance.
Her eyes flashed, she looked at the eldest young master and then at me, and looked at the second lady reproachfully from time to time.
Seeing this, I said, "Big ...... The husband is unwell, so he can stand and salute. Jin Lan is still in good health, and the etiquette that should be followed must be followed. ”
After speaking, I took the tea from the maid's hand, knelt on the ground, and said, "Grandma, please drink tea." ”
The eldest young master also took the tea and stood and saluted, "Grandma, please drink tea." ”
"Okay, good," Mrs. Luo smiled, "Grandma drinks tea." ”
made another bet, had a good impression in front of Mrs. Luo, and got along with the old lady later, and paid more attention to etiquette.
When the tea was served to the second lady, it was concocted in the same way, but I don't know if it was an illusion, I think the second lady was not happy, but a little annoyed.
Write down this strange phenomenon and go back and ponder it.
"Grandma, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, I'm late!" After giving tea to the second lady, the second young master's angry voice came from far and near.
He took a woman and hurried into the ancestral hall.
