Chapter 21: Greetings

Because the first emperor died less than 100 days ago, the official's family could not do the marriage, and this time the people in the Bofu could not be regarded as a formal bride ceremony, but only a greeting.

Lin Shuang was led by Qiu's mother into the Zhenrong Courtyard where Ying Chengbo and his wife lived, and saw several chairs in the living room, Ying Chengbo and his wife sat in the hall, the lord and wife of the third room sat at the bottom, and the children stood beside them.

Lin Shuang has a good memory, listening to Qiu's mother say the names of the people once, combined with the characteristics of each person described, when she sees the real person, she can basically sit in the right seat.

Lin Shuang walked to the front of the hall by Mother Qiu's hand, knelt down and kowtowed to Ying Chengbo and his wife, without being reminded by Mother Qiu, she could accurately call out the elders, which surprised everyone.

The tea ceremony is also symbolic, in fact, she just touches the tea bowl on the tea tray with her fingers, and then the girl serves it.

After the tea, Mrs. Bo and several wives gave gifts, all of them were collars, bracelets and the like, and there were no valuables, all of which were taken by Mother Qiu and handed to Chunya.

After worshipping the elders, Mother Qiu took her to see the young master and young lady in the house, and received gifts, all of which were handkerchiefs, embroidery, paintings and other playthings.

As for the young master, who is younger than the fourth young master, Mother Qiu has already prepared a purse for her as a gift.

Waiting for Lin Shuang to withdraw, Mrs. Yan said to the second wife: "Looking at this little girl's behavior, she is quite regular, and she speaks decently, unlike a child raised by a servant woman's family." ”

The second wife nodded with a smile and said, "The daughter-in-law is also surprised, in the end, the second aunt is good at training." ”

Mrs. Yan waved her hand and said: "She, she was a delicate girl at home, I was afraid that she would marry out and not change her temperament, and she would be disliked by her in-laws, so I chose the Lin family with a low rank for her. ”

The eldest lady said: "Sister Min'er is not called squeamish, it is the luxury of our young lady, and this luxury is not something that ordinary people can learn." ”

Mrs. Yan laughed and said to the second wife: "This child is young, if you cultivate it well, it will not be worse than your young lady." I don't think Mother Qiu's complexion is good, but is she sick? Such a young child should pay attention, don't get sick. ”

The second wife hurriedly said: "...... I was frightened on the day of the wedding, and I stayed up in the Changxing Hou Mansion for so many days, I was afraid that my body was a little unbearable, so I asked Gu's mother to take care of it when I turned around. ”

After lunch, Gu's mother came to change to Qiu's mother, who was originally the mother in Mrs. Yan's courtyard, but still went back to Zhenrong's courtyard to serve.

Gu's mother has a rectangular face, she looks very kind, not as serious as Mother Qiu, nor as festive as Mother Hua, and she does things in an orderly manner.

She was originally embarrassed in Xizhao Academy, and it was not appropriate for a boy as big as the fourth young master to be taken care of by a wet nurse, but she had taken care of the fourth young master for so many years, and the relationship between master and servant was extraordinary. Now that Lin Shuang is here, Gu's mother has been promoted to be the housekeeper in her room, and she can not only stay in Xizhao Courtyard justifiably, but also be in charge of the affairs of the entire Xizhao Courtyard, which has fulfilled her heart.

So in terms of taking care of Lin Shuang, no one has done more than her.

Gu's mother's new official took office, she first arranged all the affairs of Lin Shuang's bedroom, personally checked whether the bed and bedding were soft and warm, and whether Lin Shuang's clothes in the wardrobe were enough to wear, and ordered someone to go to the garden to cut plum branches, and put them on the windowsill with water in a vase.

After settling down Lin Shuang, Gu's mother summoned a few girls to a meeting, and she was about to assign work or something.

Lin Shuang is small, although he is a little nervous in the new environment, but he was baked by the heating of the floor heating, and he was a little exhausted in the morning, so he couldn't help dozing off at dinner time, and fell asleep in the middle of the meal, and slept until the next morning when Gu's mother woke up to ask his parents-in-law to say goodbye.

Gu's mother dressed Lin Shuang in brocade cotton clothes and pants embroidered with red flowers, and carried her to the fourth young master's room first.
