Chapter 219: Feng Yi's Gift
In the early morning of the next day, according to the rules of the new daughter-in-law, Shen Lu gave tea to the Gu family and Aunt Meng, the former's attitude was still as gentle as before, and the latter said a few symbolic words.
Shen Lu was trained by the hands of Mrs. Cheng, and Aunt Meng was also in the Guogong Mansion during that time, and the changes in Shen Lu were what she had witnessed all the way, and if she could agree with her and Cheng Lan's affairs, she had already expressed her attitude.
When the group sat down in the dining hall for morning food, Cheng Yan looked at Cheng Lan's ruddy and shiny face, a meaningful smile flashed on his face, and then turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Did it go well last night?" β
"Ahem......"
Cheng Lan coughed straight at his sudden words, and immediately hammered the man under the table, and then said quietly and awkwardly: "It's going well." β
Cheng Yan nodded, turned around slowly and went to eat.
"That's right."
Gu Shi looked up at Cheng Qi, the man was a little tired on his face because he was drunk last night: "Desert, look at your face is not very good, is your body a little unwell?" β
Cheng Qi shook his head.
Gu Shi looked at her a few more times, then took a sip of meat porridge, and said: "By the way, Xiaoqi, Zongyu said that I want to advance the marriage date of the two of you, I discussed it with your Aunt Meng, then let's decide it like this, don't you all say that good things come in pairs, besides, if you catch up with the Shangyuan Festival next year, I'm afraid that Zhuangzi will be too busy." β
"What?"
Cheng Qi almost squirted out a mouthful of porridge, glared and said, "The wedding date is early? β
"yes."
Gu thought that Cheng Qi was scalded by meat porridge, so he nodded lightly: "After running out of food later, I will go to the Guogong Mansion to say goodbye to my mother, and by the way, I will tell me about this matter." β
"When will I ......"
"Xiaoqi."
Before Cheng Qi's doubtful words could be spoken, he saw Cheng Yan very attentively push the plate of sliced elbows over, and then said with a flattering face: "Come, eat this plate of elbows clean." β
As he spoke, he slipped one by one into the plate in front of him.
Cheng Qi was completely inexplicable now, and when he was about to speak again, the man immediately blocked it with his words: "Look, you have lost weight recently, hurry up and eat this plate of elbows and not a drop of soup left." β
Cheng Dai said coldly beside him: "Brother Zong Yu, my sister just ate a plate. β
"It's fine."
Cheng Yan smiled and said, "I won't dislike eating fat." Instantly, he had a cold face, "Give me food." β
Cheng Qi was confused, but she still obediently ate the plate of elbows, fortunately, she didn't eat enough, but the matter of the early marriage was still in her heart, she swallowed what was in her mouth and wanted to ask again.
"Ma'am."
Sister-in-law Zhang walked in from the outside, holding an extremely delicate black suede brocade box in her hand.
Gu Shi looked over, looked at her and smiled, and asked in a good mood, "What's the matter?" β
"It's Miss Feng Yi."
Sister-in-law Zhang raised the brocade box in her hand: "This is sent by Miss Feng Yi, saying that it is a wedding gift for Young Master Qiubai and Young Lady, and she specially instructed me to ask Shen Lu to open it personally, it is mysterious." β
Gu Shi smiled lightly: "Then give it to A-Yao." β
Sister-in-law Zhang did so, and Shen Lu took the velvet box, feeling that it was very light inside, although Feng Yi was kind, but she was a little uneasy in her heart, Feng Yi was her rival in love, and she always felt that it was a weasel who gave a New Year's greeting to the chicken.
"A-Yao, open it and see what it is?"
Cheng Lan didn't have much thought and said with a light smile.
Shen Lu nodded, and the moment he opened the velvet box, his face had an obvious abnormality, and it disappeared immediately, and he closed the velvet box with his hand, and smiled unnaturally.
Cheng Lan's attention was not on Shen Lu's face, so naturally she didn't notice the subtle changes in her, she only thought that Shen Lu didn't like the gift Feng Yi gave at all, so she asked, "What did she give?" β
"It's just a little bit of a boudoir, nothing."
Shen Lu shook his head, and did not mean to show the contents of the velvet box to everyone, but leaned over and asked Sister-in-law Zhang, "Sister-in-law, what about the Feng family who sent this thing?" β
"It seems to be Kui'er next to Miss Feng Yi."
Sister-in-law Zhang didn't know her very well, so she only heard the maid at the door say, and said, "It's gone." He smiled and continued, "I also said to let her in for a cup of tea before leaving, who knew that the girl would turn around and leave." β
"Let's go."
Shen Lu said these three words a little slowly, and nodded: "Let's go, forget it." β
"Sister-in-law."
Cheng Qi was looking at Shen Lu from beginning to end, and also took all the wrongs of that person into his eyes, although Cheng Lan, the fool, believed it, but she was not easy to fool: "What did Feng Yi give you?" β
"It's said that it's a small piece of boudoir, not anything valuable." Shen Lu still prevaricated.
Cheng Qi didn't ask much.
After the morning meal was over, Gu and Aunt Meng went to the Guogong Mansion to visit their grandmother, and discussed the early marriage of Cheng Qi and Cheng Yan by the way.
As for Zhuangzi, Cheng Yan was going to Xiangfang for a while, so he went back to his room to change his clothes, Cheng Dai and Cheng Lan were about to rush to the school after a break, and Shen Lu was served by the newly assigned Xiao Yun, ready to go back to his yard.
It's just that on the way back, Cheng Qi caught up with her and shouted, "Sister-in-law! β
Shen Lu turned his head and looked at the man.
"Grandma?" She handed the velvet box in her hand to Xiao Yun and asked, "What's wrong?" But what have you forgotten? Qiubai and Taiheng are going to the academy, you rush to the door now, maybe it's too late. β
Cheng Qi shook his head, stopped and said, "I'm not here to find the eldest brother, I'm here to find you." After that, he snatched the black suede brocade box from Xiao Yun's hand, and was about to open it.
Shen Lu's face really changed suddenly, and he subconsciously pressed Cheng Qi's hand: "...... Other. β
Cheng Qi's eyes were cautious, and he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" β
Shen Lu hesitated for two seconds, then pretended to laugh and said, "No...... It's justβ" sighed, "It's just Feng Yi's prank, she...... Gave me a little coat, just a joke. β
"Jokes?"
Now, how could Cheng Qi believe it, he only took Shen Lu's hand away, and said: "In this case, I can also see my sister-in-law's clothes, so I'm welcome." β
After speaking, she opened the brocade box, but her pupils suddenly shrank.
The box is empty, only in the middle of the wooden grate, the grate is made of exquisite materials, exquisite workmanship, at a glance is specially made to give gifts, not used on weekdays.
But that's not the point, if you don't notice a small detail, you really think that Feng Yi is sending goose feathers for thousands of miles, and the gift is light and affectionate.
On the far left side of the grate, a tooth was broken.
Cheng Qi heard the old man in the house say that this gave the newlyweds a broken grate for curses, in order to curse the newlyweds to give birth to their first child to die.
It is generally broken, and it is the first time that Feng Yi has given it away in broad daylight while the couple is unprepared, hiding in the pillow where they sleep together every day.
Cheng Qi's face turned blue in seconds, he didn't expect a person like Feng Yi to do such a thing behind his back, no wonder Shen Lu would show such an expression when he was eating breakfast.
With such a curse, it's hard for her not to have a seizure.
Wait.
Cheng Qi saw that there was a clear finger mark at the bottom of the box, as if it was drawn when she took something, but her nails were not long, and her eyes rolled, and she said to Shen Lu: "Is there something in here?" β
Shen Lu's face no longer smiled to maintain it, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "There is nothing left." β
"Don't lie to me, show it to me."
Cheng Qi said somewhat commandingly.
Shen Lu was still hesitating, but Xiao Yun on the side couldn't help it, and dissuaded: "Young lady, let's take out that thing and show it to the eldest girl, don't hold it alone." β
Shen Lu sighed at this time, and took out the thing from his sleeve, it was a stack of paper, which felt a little thick and textured, and when he opened it, it was a sea fishing document.
It has a portrait of Shen Lu and her master.
Feng Yi was reminding Shen Lu that he had to be aware of his origin, and it was also for insult.
"Interesting."
Cheng Qi was so angry that he couldn't stop saying: "What a lady, a noble girl, I didn't expect that in front of this Feng Yi's illustrious person, there are such unbearable people, and he actually humiliates you with these things." β
"That's it."
Shen Lu said helplessly: "She racked her brains and couldn't marry Qiu Bai, I was born as a female thief, and I actually got the position of Qiu Bai's wife, she was naturally annoyed and angry, I put up with it, and I didn't know her in general." β
"You're good-tempered, I can't."
Cheng Qi said coldly: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you out with this breath." β
Cheng Qi's style of action is a stepping stone, Shen Lu was afraid that the person would be reckless because of himself, so he hurriedly said: "Don't, it's not worth offending Feng Yi for me." β
"Why isn't it worth it?"
Cheng Qi said: "You are now my sister-in-law, that is, our Cheng family's own family, and it is worth it to be angry for your own family." He took the comb, broke it in Xiao Yun's exclamation, and then said, "Feng Yi's curse is unbearable, but I don't fight her tooth for tooth, I heard that the imperial court has allocated young sheep to each of the nine cities of Xiping, so doesn't Feng Sima want to get a share in the name of Feng Yi, but I don't want him to get his wish." β
Saying that Cheng Qi naturally called himself sister-in-law today, Shen Lu was still a little surprised, after all, the first time he met her, the process was not very pleasant.
It's just that I didn't expect it to be so different after marriage.
I didn't expect that Cheng Qi, who was born in a big family, would treat a female thief like him equally, not only did he not show the slightest contempt and contempt, but he also had a respectful attitude everywhere.
Shen Lu's heart was warm, and then he realized that the family was good, so he said: "Raising sheep is a big deal, but if you can raise it to satisfy the court, it is also a great thing, if you want to do it, do it properly, don't delay the business because you want to be angry with Feng Yi." β
Cheng Qi nodded, and said, "Then raise sheep seriously, and by the way, Feng Yi will be angry." β
Shen Lu chuckled and didn't speak again.
