Chapter 547: Between the Concubines (Part 2) (Page 1/1)
By the time he finished recognizing his relatives, Gu Mingzhu's knees were already sore, and he trembled a little when he got up, so he helped Abi to stand up straight.
Cui Lin couldn't help frowning, and asked in a low voice: "But I'm tired, there's an ear room over there, I asked someone to prepare a drink, you go over and take a rest." ”
Gu Mingzhu shook his head and chuckled: "It's okay, the elders are still there, I'll talk with you." ”
This is a confession, and she, the bride, can't hide and rest.
Mrs. Cui sat on the couch and saw clearly, and instructed Mama Huang behind her: "Go and talk to the fifth young lady, let her help me see if the banquet is ready for a while, and ask those grandmothers who are in charge if they are still missing." ”
Mama Huang was surprised when she heard this, others didn't know, but she knew, the eldest lady had already told her to look at the list, and she already knew about the banquet, how could it be......
She didn't dare to say much, so she bent her knees and retreated to Gu Mingzhu's side, and gave Gu Mingzhu a salute with a smile: "Fifth young lady, the eldest lady asked you to help see the banquet......
Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand how Mrs. Cui could teach herself to watch the banquet, but she still got up and went out with Mama Huang.
It's just that Mama Huang didn't lead her to the hall, but respectfully invited her to the ear room, and said with a smile: "After a while, Mama will send a list to the young lady, young lady, please wait for a while." ”
The maidservants had already diligently sent the drink and fruit up, and quietly retreated, leaving Gu Mingzhu's master and servant sitting here cleanly.
If Gu Mingzhu still understood what Mrs. Cui meant at this time, she would really be a fool, she exhaled softly, and instructed Ah Bi and Xiao Kui: "You guys should also rest for a while, there will be a banquet later, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest until the evening." ”
Xiaokui was stunned for a moment: "Don't you want to see the list?" ”
Ah Bi shook her head helplessly, and said to her: "If you really want to make a point, you won't let the young lady come, how can you let the bride have a family recognition banquet." ”
That is, the eldest lady specially asked them to rest?
Xiao Kui didn't dare to think about it, after all, Mrs. Cui didn't have a good face for Gu Mingzhu before.
Gu Mingzhu was not surprised, she rubbed her sore knees, sat comfortably on the couch, leaned on the table and took a sip, and said in a low voice: "There are too many people." ”
She didn't know that this was only the elders of the Cui family's descendants and side branches, and many people in the side branches had not been invited to the hall, otherwise it would be enough for a whole day.
Ah Bi gently rubbed Gu Mingzhu's shoulders and said in a low voice: "Will there be so many people in the ancestral hall tomorrow?" ”
The more relatives and elders there are, the harder it will be for Gu Mingzhu, after all, she is a bride, and she has to salute everyone she sees.
Gu Mingzhu shook his head: "I don't know what the rules will be." ”
When she came out of the ear room after resting for a while, her spirit was much better, and when she returned to the couch and sat down, she was pulled by the second young lady Wang to speak: "Today is really hard, the fifth brother and sister are afraid that they are not used to having so many people." ”
She smiled and said to Gu Mingzhu: "I also heard the third brother and sister talk about it, and I was curious to see it, the fifth brother and sister won't blame me, right?" ”
She looked at Gu Mingzhu frankly, and said it so naturally, it was hard to say anything.
Gu Mingzhu said with a smile: "Where did the second sister-in-law say, I want to thank the second sister-in-law, and I thought about giving the gift with all my heart, hoping that someone could praise it." ”
But he didn't mention Zheng Yuan a word.
Wang's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "It's still the fifth brother and sister who can speak, so I'm much more at ease." ”
Gu Mingzhu said a few words to her with a smile as if she hadn't seen it, and then softly asked the eldest young lady Xie who was sitting on the other side: "Sister-in-law, what are the rules for opening the ancestral hall tomorrow?" Is it all going to be today? ”
Xie didn't seem to expect Gu Mingzhu to ask himself, and hurriedly said in surprise for a while: "The ancestral hall was opened by the clan elder who led you over, kowtowed to the ancestors, and recorded the family tree, not everyone went, but this time it was ......."
She looked embarrassed and smiled: "I don't know clearly, I won't know until tomorrow." ”
Gu Mingzhu's heart moved, Xie Shi clearly knew something, but it was not good to say it in front of her, I don't know what this ancestral hall is, why do you have to hide it?
Xie didn't say anything, and she didn't want to ask too much, so she opened the topic and talked about something else.
The Wang family also occasionally took a few words, and the concubines also talked lively.
Only Zheng Yuan sat aside with a cold face and said nothing, looking at Xie and Wang, and then at Gu Mingzhu, don't open her face and sit by herself.
After the confession banquet was over, the relatives went back separately, and Mrs. Cui invited the eldest lady to sit and talk in the inner hall.
“…… The old lady prefers the five brothers and sisters the most, and even the recognition gifts given are such rare things, compared to a few of us, no one loves them. The second lady Wang beat Mrs. Cui's leg with a half-smile and half-disgust, "Even the Ah family praised the fifth brother and sister for their good temperament, and I was about to die of shame." ”
Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyes and listened with a smile, but she understood in her heart that the Wang family was exquisite, and she seemed to be very liked by Mrs. Cui, so she dared to speak so boldly, but her tone was like a joke, which made people feel disgusted.
Sure enough, Mrs. Cui laughed: "You are a jealous person, your fifth brother and sister just married into the mansion, and you are from Chang'an, I have to care for a little more, not to mention that I don't feel sorry for you on weekdays." ”
Wang said with a smile: "What the old lady said is that I also feel sorry for my fifth brother and sister, and I will invite my fifth brother and sister to sit in my yard and get close to each other." ”
Old Madam Cui smiled and nodded: "That's right, you are concubines, you just have to move around more, brothers are not united in their interests." ”
Although Xie Shi was wooden, he still looked at his eyes and said busily: "I also invite my fifth brother and sister to sit with me." ”
Mrs. Cui said to Gu Mingzhu at this time: "Your sisters-in-law are all warm-hearted, you just entered the mansion, if there is anything you don't know and are embarrassed, let people ask them, don't be afraid of causing trouble to them." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled and bent his knees.
Zheng Yuan coldly watched the Wang family and the Xie family huddle around Mrs. Cui, and the fan in her hand became tighter and tighter, but she said with a smile: "Yes, why don't you see Qin Niang?" ”
Both the Wang family and the Xie family were stunned, their eyes looked at Mrs. Cui's side, and then fell on Zheng Yuan, and they also turned around on Gu Mingzhu.
The third lady over there also asked: "Yes, I haven't seen Qin Niang today, the chess games she sent to Jiulang last time were all unique, very valuable, I haven't thanked her properly." ”
Mrs. Cui's smile remained unchanged: "Today is a day of great joy, naturally it is to give incense to the Bodhisattva to be sincere, she will go to the Bodhi Temple for me today to offer incense." ”
