Chapter 004: Tea Ceremony
"General, madam, it's time to get up, and you have to go to the Hou Mansion for tea." The voice of the ears of wheat rang out outside the door.
Qin Ranran slowly opened her eyes and stared at the curtain on the top of the bed for a while.
"Ranran, get up, it's time to go and make tea for my mother." Lu Chengan's voice was gentle and considerate, and he called her softly in Qin Ranran's ear.
Tea ceremony?
Qin Ranran got up and went to serve Lu Chengan to get dressed first, and after being rejected by Lu Chengan with a slight red face, she smiled and called Mai Sui to come in and help her comb her hair.
Lu Chengan straightened himself neatly in a few clicks, and looked at the ears of wheat combing Ranran's hair with a smile.
Qin Ranran didn't notice Lu Chengan's gaze, and her thoughts were completely immersed in the previous life.
On the second day of the wedding, she followed Lu Chengan to Pingxi Hou Mansion to give tea to her mother-in-law, and after Lu Chengan was taken to the study by her eldest brother Lu Ping'an to talk, she was punished by her mother-in-law for not being able to serve a good husband on the wedding night, and punished herself to kneel in the ancestral hall to recite the female precepts and female commandments, and also sent Li Niangzi into the house.
When Lu Chengan came to pick him up, he was just allowed to stand up and gave himself a cup of tea.
At that time, my mind was really very simple, and when I looked at Lu Chengan, I said with tears in my eyes.
Lu Chengan was furious when he learned what happened, and bluntly said that he didn't expect his mother to be such a person who casually rubbed his daughter-in-law, and pulled himself to slam the door.
On the day he went to the capital, it was rumored that Lu Chengan was proud of his high merits, and he contradicted his mother at will, and was disobedient and unfilial.
She squinted her eyes slightly, thinking carefully about what had happened in her previous life.
In their previous lives, it was because they and Lu Chengan did not have a round house that they had the opportunity to humiliate themselves. And this time, the two have already made a round, and I don't know what tricks they will come up with to deal with themselves.
Thinking of the round house, her face turned red again, she felt the soreness in her body, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, suppressing all kinds of thoughts in her heart.
Lu Chengan sat on the top of the dresser, watching the expression on Qin Ranran's face change from calm to indifferent to shy, and he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.
It's understandable to be shy, after all, I was so brave last night......
But where does this apathy come from? Ranran's eyes narrowed, and she couldn't see what her eyes were......
"General, it's time for you and your wife to eat." Mai Sui put on a pair of diamond earrings for Qin Ranran, which was personally rewarded by the queen's mother, and signaled the two to eat.
"Ranran, let's go and say a few words and leave, and we will enter the palace to thank you later." Lu Chengan sandwiched a golden jade steamed bun for her, "I may come back late at noon, eat more." ”
When Qin Ranran heard this, her mind spun rapidly, in her previous life, why didn't she go to thank her?
In his previous life, during breakfast, Steward Ma seemed to come in and say a few words to Lu Chengan, who hesitated for a while and shook his head. Later, he went out on his own for a long time.
Is it because he doesn't want to associate with others, and he even refuses to let himself go to thank you?
In his previous life, did Lu Chengan accommodate himself like this?
Qin Ranran clenched the handkerchief in her hand, endured the tears that overflowed her eyes, and looked up with a smile and asked Mother Liu, who was standing aside, "Mother Liu, are the gifts for returning to the door ready?" ”
Mother Liu immediately nodded: "Madame, don't worry, the old slaves are ready." ”
"Well, you should eat something quickly, lest you follow us here and there later, and you won't be able to eat when you're hungry."
"Ma'am, we've already used it. The carriage also prepared the mung bean cake that Mrs. loved to eat, and if Mrs. was hungry, she could put a cushion first. Liu's mother replied respectfully.
Qin Ranran breathed a sigh of relief, so the two of them were going to accompany themselves to the Pingxi Hou Mansion.
Lu Chengan saw that Qin Ranran had finished breakfast, so he took her hand and walked to the front yard together.
"Cheng'an, Mother Liu and Mai Sui and the two of them will ride in a carriage, you can ride a horse." Qin Ranran pushed Lu Chengan to the sesame he was used to riding, and then got into the carriage with Liu's mother and them with a red face.
Lu Chengan smiled and helped Qin Ranran into the carriage, turned his head to a man in black beside him and said, "Go and check, before getting married, did anyone say anything to Mrs. ”
The man in black bowed and retreated.
In the rhythmic shaking of the carriage, Qin Ranran said solemnly: "Mother Liu, Mai Sui, since I have married Cheng'an, Cheng'an's honor and disgrace will be tied to me in the future, are you willing to help me?" ”
A trace of excitement flashed in the eyes of Mai Sui and Mother Liu, and at the same time they got up from the stool and knelt on the ground: "The slave is willing!" ”
Qin Ranran breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but she also understood in her heart that they would just help her unconditionally if she was loyal to Lu Chengan.
But then again, what do you want to harm Lu Chengan?
"Ma'am, it's here." The voice of the little guy outside rang out.
Mai Sui got out of the car and held Qin Ranran's hand for fear that she would knock it.
Qin Ranran stood at the door of the Pingxi Hou Mansion, looking at the plaque of the imperial gift and the closed black door, and sneered in her heart, has the Pingxi Hou Mansion rejected Lu Chengan to this realm?
The powerful families of the Great Zhou Dynasty all pay attention to the presence of their parents and do not separate their families.
Lu Chengan was not only separated, but also married in his own house. Looking back on the past 100 years, this should be the first case in the entire Great Week.
Knowing that he was going to serve tea today, he still closed the door tightly, and he didn't even hang a red silk, is this for Lu Chengan and his own dismount?
"Cheng'an, should we go and slam the door, do we need to give the little guy a red seal?" Qin Ranran let herself show a bewildered expression, and gently tugged at Lu Chengan's sleeve.
Mother Liu listened to Qin Ranran's words, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
Madame is a transparent person, and I hope I can persuade the general not to blindly trust the people on the Hou Mansion's side anymore.
"Madam, you are so worried about it, maybe the Hou Mansion has a lot of things to do, and you have forgotten the time." Thinking of this, she answered with a smile.
Qin Ranran was overjoyed in her heart, Mother Liu was really a smart person.
"Mother Liu, the Hou Mansion is so big, there must be rules, but you can't forget such an important thing as the general's marriage and tea ceremony, right?" Qin Ranran's face was simple and white, and with a little fear that he had said something wrong, Lu Cheng's peace of mind made him feel relieved, and he stood there and thought about it carefully.
Pingxi Hou Mansion is located in Shunfang, where there are many powerful families, and the carriage has stayed outside for a long time, which has attracted all the small families to probe their brains to inquire about the news.
If it was placed in normal times, Lu Chengan would have laughed and laughed, and the old lady in the mansion and Ping Xihou would have passed the matter to the subordinates for unreliable reasons such as negligence.
But today is the second day of their marriage, and they came back with their new daughter-in-law to serve tea, but they still didn't give themselves this face, and locked the two out of the door to dry.
In addition to being angry, there is also some coldness, for the honor of Pingxi Hou's Mansion, in order to let Lu Ping'an sit firmly in Pingxihou's position, he has solved so many troubles for them in private, do they still slap themselves in the face like this?
"We're going to enter the palace in a while, and if we delay here, what should we do if we miss the hour?" Qin Ranran saw that Lu Chengan's expression on his face was uncertain, so he simply added another fire.
"Then let's go to the palace!" Lu Chengan turned around and helped Qin Ranran get back into the car.
The sound of horses' hooves faded away.
"Bang!" In the Pingxi Hou Mansion, a majestic old woman angrily smashed a tea bowl to the ground.
"How dare they!"
