082 Banquet at home
As soon as I entered the gate, I saw the lobby brother Du Kai waiting inside. As soon as he saw Chen Xi, he said with a smile: "Today is a festive day, the fourth brother-in-law has been sick all the time, and he has been getting better recently, so I came to have fun with you." Speaking of which, he is also the first time that his new son-in-law has come to the door! ”
Chen Xi smiled: "That's really a coincidence. ”
While talking, they arrived at the main house where Mrs. Du lived. When she got married, Mrs. Du just saw her in a hurry, and now when she looked closely, she felt more and more that this grandson-in-law was like a dragon and phoenix among people, and his appearance and bearing were extraordinary.
Seeing that Mrs. Du was only looking at Chen Xi, the eldest lord gave the eldest lady a look and asked her to go up and make a difference. Who knew that the eldest lady actually looked depressed, sitting on the chair and sulking by herself.
The eldest lord was a little annoyed, stepped forward, first kicked the eldest lady quietly, and then said with a smile: "Among these granddaughters, the mother is most concerned about Sister Xin every day. Now that I see her out of the house, I can't help but want to see more, the prince is not strange, haha, not strange. ”
Chen Xi sat down and said with a smile: "Grandmother's love for her children and grandchildren, although I have not experienced it, I have seen a lot. Old lady, don't worry, I will be good and don't worry you. ”
Mrs. Du came back to her senses and said curtly: "That's good, that's good." ”
Du Mingxin glanced at the people in the room at this time, Du Mingyan sat expressionlessly, dusting off the luxurious clothes on her body with her long nails dyed with bright red Kodan from time to time, or caressing the unmessed cloud temples with her slender hand.
Du Mingzhu is the only unmarried concubine in the family, she sits on the couch next to Mrs. Du, her eyes are lowered, as if everything around her has nothing to do with her. Du Mingshu sat on the small pestle under Du Mingzhu in a regular manner, and when anyone spoke, he looked twice, or smiled with his lips pursed, and he seemed very well-educated.
Du Mingjing sat opposite Du Mingxin, and next to her sat a man about the age of a weak crown, with long hair tied up and a face like beautiful jade, but his lips were still a little pale. He spoke quietly, and seemed very gentle and polite.
"Li Ling has seen the prince." He got up and respectfully saluted Chen Xi.
Chen Xi hurriedly stood up and helped him, and said with a smile: "Why do you have to be like this!" Brother Xian called me brother-in-law. He was in a good mood today, as if being called brother-in-law by Du Mingxin's brother-in-law was also a very joyful thing.
The second old man looked at Chen Xi and smiled, and he was very proud in his heart. How proud are you in each field? It's not as good as me raising a good daughter and finding a good son-in-law!
After a short time, the house opened a table, and the men and women sat at one table on both sides, separated by a screen.
Du Mingjing pulled Du Mingxin to sit together, and asked mysteriously in a mysterious whisper in a tone of a passerby: "How is the prince treating you?" ”
Du Mingxin frowned slightly, she knew very well what Du Mingjing was referring to, but she was not used to talking about private things with people, let alone at the banquet at home.
Du Mingjing looked at her expression, and thought that there was some trouble, so she smiled affectionately: "Oh, if you get married, you won't be a big girl, we sisters, what's there to say?" I tell you, don't twist when you and the prince are together! ”
She leaned her head in front of Du Mingxin and whispered, "Men, they all like to live in the room." If you're like a piece of wood......"
Du Mingxin endured the disgust in his heart, stared at the dishes on the plate and said with a smile: "These golden and jade words of the fourth sister, sister, I have been taught." It's just that after my sister gets married, it's no better than at home, who she sees and what she should say, and what kind of occasion she should say, and she should have a plan in her heart. ”
Du Mingjing originally thought that the three sisters in the family were all married, but Du Mingxin and Du Mingyan were bound to become fire and water, and only she could chat with Du Mingxin for a few words, so as to show off her closeness to Du Mingxin in front of others. If you don't talk to your sisters about these words in the boudoir, do you want to talk to your sister-in-law and sister-in-law?
Who knew that Du Mingxin gave her a nail without being soft or hard. She was so depressed that she didn't want people to see that she was having trouble with Du Mingxin, so she had to take the dishes on the table to vent her anger: "Mother, I can't eat such greasy things recently, you ask someone to make me a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and chicken soup, put more peppers, and make it sour and spicy." ”
The eldest lady listened to Li Ling getting better day by day these days, and she had already repented of her intestines, and pulled the eldest man to complain twice, but she was scolded back: "The woman is stupid! At the beginning, it was Sister Zhu who wanted to ask to marry, and your mother and daughter cried and said that they would not marry, as if I insisted on marrying her and broke my conscience! Now that you are greedy for Sister Jing'er's wealth, you regret it in your heart, what did you do earlier? If it weren't for Sister Jing, I would have almost been dragged down by your mother and daughter! Besides, aren't the eldest son-in-law and the younger son-in-law your son-in-law? ”
The eldest lady was unhappy, but she didn't dare to refute, she just watched Aunt Zhang shaking in the yard. Not to mention chicken, duck and fish every day, inserting gold and silver, taking advantage of Du Mingjing and Li Ling to return to the door, they asked for two sets of heads and three new clothes from the eldest master, which made the eldest lady angry.
Now that Du Mingjing is going to command in front of her again, how can the eldest lady bear it. She said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "Sister Jing, when you get married, it's not like being a girl at home, you can act recklessly!" If you don't eat the meals you have worked so hard to prepare at home, you can pick and choose, and if you are the same at your in-law's house, then I should teach you well later! ”
Du Mingjing got married, and Li Ling gradually got better, so he felt that his waist was much stiffer, and he was less cautious when he faced the eldest wife and Du Mingzhu.
She put down the chopsticks at this time, and said in a weird manner: "Mother, I am now in my mother's house, even if it is in Shangshu Mansion, I want to eat a bowl of soup, and my mother-in-law has not pressed me with rules." I'm not unreasonable, I really told you, I'm lazy to eat these days, it's easy to want to eat something, and you're still holding back as a mother! ”
As she spoke, she stroked her stomach with her hand intentionally or unintentionally, got up and said, "Grandmother, sisters and sisters, I will sue you, go to the back and see your aunt, you use it slowly." ”
Li Ling over there heard the movement, and hurriedly made amends with the eldest master Chen Xi and others, so he came over to help her, and said, "Didn't you say that after dinner, let's go over and see my aunt together?" Why do you have to go over by yourself? ”
Du Mingjing was very proud in his heart, glanced at the eldest lady and Du Mingzhu, and said aggrievedly: "I can't eat these things, I want to go to my aunt to make me a bowl of soup to drink." ”
Li Ling felt that something was wrong, but seeing that Du Mingjing was very resolute, he also heard the fact that she wanted to drink soup and was rejected by the eldest lady. After thinking about it, he still helped Du Mingjing to go to the backyard together.
