Chapter 345: Meet your mother-in-law
Sanniang followed Xuan Shao all the way, looking at the environment in the house, while thinking about what kind of person Xuan Shao's mother Jiang would be.
When the two of them walked to Guan Ju Courtyard, Jiang Shi was already sitting in the hall waiting.
Sanniang was very surprised when she saw Jiang at first sight, because Jiang looked very young, and her face was somewhat similar to Xuan Shao, but it was only somewhat similar.
Jiang's actual age should be almost forty, but the woman sitting in the main seat in the hall was wearing a satin round neck placket with a black neck, a blue shell with a blue background, a goose yellow floral pattern, a satin round neck placket with sleeves, a dark trimmed frost-colored satin horse-faced skirt, and a set of gold and jade on her head, and she looked only about thirty years old. And she is dressed plainly, and the clothes she wears and the combed hair shape have the meaning of deliberately pretending to be old, but even so, it is still difficult to hide her natural beauty.
Sanniang believes that if she dresses up brightly, no one will believe her if she says that she is twenty-seven or eight.
And since Xuanshao and Sanniang walked in, Jiang has also been looking at Sanniang.
Sanniang today wore a red embroidered gold trimmed pink chrysanthemum dark flower satin round neck placket through sleeve jacket, ivory colorful folded chrysanthemum embroidered pleated skirt, combed Suiyun bun, and wore a set of red gold inlaid ruby head, dignified and beautiful. Standing with Xuan Shao, who is also dressed in red and has a handsome appearance, he looks extremely matched, and people can't take their eyes off it at a glance.
Jiang Shi smiled, and a dimple on his right cheek was the same as Xuan Shao's, making the two look a little more similar.
A maid had already laid a mat in front of Jiang's, Sanniang and Xuanshao stepped forward, knelt down in front of Jiang's, and kowtowed respectfully. Another maid touched a cup of tea and handed it to Sanniang.
"Mother, please use tea." Sanniang put it on top of her head and waited for Jiang to take it.
Jiang took the tea bowl happily. took a sip, handed it to the maid again, and then took out a satin purse with red embroidery embroidered with a branch from the tray in the other maid's hand and handed it to Sanniang.
"This is for you. Put it away. Jiang's voice was clear and gentle.
Sanniang took it respectfully, and Jiang signaled the maid to step forward and help Sanniang up.
After Sanniang got up, when she saw the face of the green-clothed maid holding her hand. I was stunned for a moment. However, she is very good at cultivating qi, and the changes in her emotions on her face are fleeting. Then he stood beside Xuan Shao with his head bowed casually.
"Madam, it's not too early, let's eat first, right? Later, the young master and the young lady will enter the palace. A woman with a woman's hair combed and a delicate appearance who looked like she was in her thirties smiled and said to Jiang, she saw Sanniang looking at her, and nodded and smiled.
Sanniang was a little unsure of her identity.
"This is Aunt Fan, let's see each other." Jiang pointed at Aunt Fan. Said warmly to Sanniang.
Sanniang was a little surprised in her heart, but she did not hesitate to salute this Aunt Fan, Aunt Fan avoided it sideways, she was too busy to dare, and called Sanniang with a smile Young lady.
Jiang asked Aunt Fan to help her get up, and went to the dining room on the side first, with Sanniang and Xuan Shao following behind.
Suddenly, her palms warmed, Sanniang didn't move, she only glanced at Xuan Shao beside her with her eyes, and Xuan Shao only shook it lightly and let go of her hand. As if to tell her not to be nervous.
Jiang sat on the main seat, and Sanniang saw a maid carrying a copper basin up, and after thinking about it, she stood beside Jiang and wanted to serve Jiang's clean hands.
Jiang was stunned. Then he shook his head with a smile and said, "Just sit down, we don't have such rules in our family, and I don't want to set any rules for my daughter-in-law." ”
Sanniang was a little hesitant, the matter of the purple kite this morning made her a little confused about Jiang's thoughts, I don't know if this mother-in-law deliberately said this to test her sincerity or what, and, after glancing at the green-clothed maid standing behind Jiang, Sanniang was even more cautious.
She had seen this green-clothed maid, and it was clearly the maid who twisted her foot after hitting her at the birthday banquet of the old lady of Sunfu last time. Thinking that she asked her where the house was, she was hesitant, and then listened to Bai Guo's statement after he came back, she was a little strange in her heart, but after seeing her today is Jiang's maid, she understood.
Sanniang hesitated like this, Aunt Fan beside Jiang's side came over, pulled Sanniang to sit on the table, and said with a smile: "Young lady, sit down, what Madam said is not a polite word, you will understand after a long time, Madame, she will not be like those housewives in other houses." On the first day you entered the door, she set rules for you, madam, aren't she afraid that people will say that she treats her daughter-in-law harshly? ”
Aunt Fan was joking while serving Jiang's clean hands by herself, Jiang only listened, not brainy, and could see that the two should get along well on weekdays.
Sanniang glanced at Xuan Shao, saw Xuan Shao nodded at her, and motioned for her to listen to Jiang's words and sit down, so she couldn't rush to serve Jiang.
The maid came up to serve Sanniang and Xuan Shao and cleaned her hands, and Sanniang knew that the Jiang family would definitely not let her serve cloth vegetables and the like today, so she would stop for the time being.
Maybe it's because today is the first day she enters the door, or maybe it's because Xuan Shao is here, so the Jiang family is not good at making rules. Sanniang thought that if the Jiang family wanted to set rules for her in the future, she would just accept it. As long as she doesn't touch her bottom line, she is willing to serve her elders, and she doesn't feel any grievances.
When Jiang moved the chopsticks first, Xuan Shao picked up the chopsticks, and Sanniang followed with the chopsticks to eat.
"I eat light in the morning, and Shao'er is not picky about eating, so breakfast is very simple. If you have anything you want to eat, just tell Mama Zhou. Jiang only asked the maid to serve her a bowl of porridge, and symbolically took the chopsticks, but did not eat them. Remembering something, he said to Sanniang.
Sanniang began to hear that the aunt in the fourth room who came to make the bed sent someone to inquire, in the palace of Prince Zhuang, because the old princess was still alive, they were not separated from the people in the room of King Zhuang. Originally, according to the rules, after the prince inherited the title, the other sons of the prince had to move out. However, because Xuan Shao's father was the son of the world, and after his death, only Jiang and Xuanshao, a pair of orphans and widows, were left, so the Queen Mother let Xuanshao and Jiang still live together in Prince Zhuang's mansion.
Therefore, people on both sides eat in the big kitchen, and if you want to open a small stove, you need to add additional silver.
Now the breakfast on the table includes black rice porridge, fish fillet porridge, clear porridge, flower rolls, and pot stickers. Sesame pancakes, pretzels, a plate of small buns with no filling. Chicken noodle soup, a assorted cold dish platter, a few side dishes. Pickles...... Zero Zero always set a table.
These are not too different from what Sanniang ate when she was in Wang's house, and Sanniang knew that every family in the capital was on it. The breakfast is almost the same, and there are many patterns, and these on the Zhuangjun Wangfu are already simple. But Sanniang doesn't think it's anything wrong with being simpler. There are only three of them, and they can't eat and waste.
In the previous life, the conditions in the family were also good, but the grandfather who had served in the army hated people the most for wasting food, even if he went out to eat, the old man would ask the waiter to pack the leftovers. They're grandchildren. Since childhood, I have developed the habit of not wasting a grain of food in the bowl.
I remember that her second cousin went to her second cousin-in-law's house for dinner for the first time, and the two had just met each other at that time, and her cousin-in-law's parents were well-known people in the business world.
As a result, when they ate together for the first time, whether it was her second cousin-in-law or her future mother-in-law at the time, she ate a little leftover, although the dishes in her bowl had been piled up into the city wall at that time, and it stands to reason that ordinary girls can't finish eating.
The second cousin-in-law's family was a little dumbfounded in the end, and in the end, the second cousin-in-law saw that she couldn't eat but was holding on. thoughtfully asked her to put it down if she couldn't eat it, without reluctance.
The second cousin realized that she had eaten a lot, and she was embarrassed to say that her grandfather had taught her since she was a child, and the food in the bowl should not be wasted. So she's used to eating the contents of her bowl clean.
At that time, the grandfather of the second cousin-in-law was also present, and later after the second cousin left, he said to his son and daughter-in-law: "Where can a child taught by such an elder be pampered?" I'm very satisfied with this girl, and we originally climbed high when she married into our family, what else do you think? ”
Naturally, no one dares to have an opinion, after the second cousin married the second cousin-in-law, this old man has always liked the second cousin, and every time there is a small friction between the husband and wife, he will stand up to support the second cousin. The second cousin once joked that she had an old man as a backer in her mother-in-law's house, and even her mother-in-law had to give her a few points.
Sanniang said to Jiang: "I like these things, thank you mother." ”
Jiang nodded, and said no more. The three of them finished their meal quietly.
"You go back and clean up and go to the palace early, if the queen mother in the palace stays for dinner, send someone back to say it." Jiang explained Sanniang and Xuan Shao.
Sanniang and Xuan Shao withdrew.
"Do we all eat with our mother?" While walking on the road, Sanniang asked Xuan Shaodao.
Xuan Shao paused and turned his head to look at Sanniang: "I rarely came back to eat before, and every time I came back, I used it in my mother's yard." If you find it inconvenient......"
Sanniang didn't wait for Xuan Shao to finish speaking, and then replied to him with a bright smile: "Where is the inconvenience?" I like to be more lively when I eat, and if you can't come back to eat because you're busy with business, I can be a companion to my mother. ”
Xuan Shao continued to cover his sleeves and held Sanniang's hand, his face was already a serious and cold appearance, but Sanniang was a little blushing because he rubbed his palm with his fingers.
"I'll try to come back and eat with you in the future." Xuan Shao said softly.
Sanniang glanced at him, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
