There were several brightly dressed mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law standing at the door of the weeping flowers, and when they saw Ming Fei and the others who appeared with Cai Guangting, they were obviously taken aback, but they quickly reacted and came up to salute and greet them.

Cai Guangting waved his hand quite imposingly: "Come and meet the third lady." Because he was afraid of Ming Fei's stage fright, he kept holding Ming Fei's hand steadily, but he saw that Ming Fei straightened his waist, without the slightest stage fright, and accepted everyone's salute with a solemn expression, looking very calm and generous, he couldn't help but look at Hua Pozi and Jiao Tao with satisfaction and smiled.

When Hua Pozi and Jiao Tao saw this situation, they knew that the two of them must be indispensable for rich rewards, and their faces couldn't help but bring a little joy.

Everyone hugged Ming Fei and Cai Guangting into the inner house, someone had already gone to report to the Chen family, and the big girl in front of the Chen family, Yupan, walked briskly and greeted a few people not far from the Hanging Flower Gate, squatting down with a smile and saluting: "The eldest prince is blessed, and the third lady is blessed." The lady invited the two of them to the main room. ”

Ming Fei glanced at the jade plate curiously, and saw that the jade plate was wearing a short blue cardigan jacket, a long pine green skirt, and a golden hairpin on her head, and she was very neat and outstanding, but her face was far worse than that of Jiao Tao Jiaoxing, and she was just upright. I guessed wildly in my heart, but I was afraid that Chen's appearance was not much better. It makes sense for her to guess this, in ancient times, unless it was forced or there were special circumstances, they were not willing to let the dowry girl overshadow the main owner.

Ming Fei followed Cai Guangting all the way, looking at his nose and nose, and observing the environment from the corners of his eyes without showing traces. Along the way, I only think that this legendary official's inner house is nothing unusual, it is nothing more than a little more house, a little brighter paint, and a little more flowers and trees, but in this early spring, many flowers have not yet bloomed, which is really nothing to look at. But she is very strange, there are not many people coming and going in this courtyard, everywhere is quiet, a little deserted, not at all like the legendary concubines and children, the turbulent inner courtyard of the Cai family.

Where have all the people gone? If it weren't for the fact that the Chen family is particularly skillful and strict in governing the family, these concubines and young ladies are not at home. The former is unlikely, because she knows that if the Chen family can really call for wind and rain in this family, she will not be taken back, so only the latter is left, and the concubines and young ladies are not at home and go elsewhere.

Due to the terrain, the so-called main house of the Cai family is actually not very big, but it looks very new, and there is a kind of red joy everywhere, which is very in line with the situation of just after the New Year and a new wife. The costumes of the girls and mothers-in-law who served in the main room were much more exquisite than the costumes of the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law standing at the Hanging Flower Gate, and it was not uncommon to wear gold and silver.

Seeing Ming Fei and them coming, a big girl dressed like a jade plate squatted down with a smile and saluted: "The slave and maid silver bottle to the eldest son and the third lady to say goodbye." When Cai Guangting shouted, she opened the curtain and went into the house to report: "Madam, the eldest prince and the third lady are here!" ”

A gentle and pleasant female voice came out of the room steadily: "Please come in with the eldest prince and the third lady." ”

Cai Guangting was afraid that Ming Fei would be rude, so he whispered in her ear: "Follow me to salute." Then he led her into the house.

Ming Fei didn't have time to see the furnishings and characters in the house clearly, so he was pulled by Cai Guangting, so he had to follow him to call his mother and bow down slowly. After the salute, a pair of warm and soft hands reached over, took her up and pulled her over, and the owner of the hand said in a cheerful tone: "I have been waiting since I got up this morning, and finally came." ”

Ming Fei had a slight shyness on her face, and looked up at her young stepmother, Chen, with a smile.

Chen sat firmly on a sour branch wood arhat bed, his black hair was combed in a high bun, a chrysanthemum hairpin with gold dots and emerald jewels, a gold beaded grape earring, a white shirt jacket, a rose-colored peony silk half-arm, and a rose-red and white dress, which was luxurious and compelling.

Ming Fei was almost distracted by her stepmother's big round face and hanging eyebrows, which were set off by a pile of dazzling jewels and gorgeous and delicate dresses. The moment she saw Chen's appearance, she understood a lot of things.

No matter how smart and capable a woman is, she is not beautiful and does not please her husband, so she can only accept her fate sadly, try her best to dress herself up luxuriously and beautifully, and dig out her heart to please the children left by her original partner, and look for allies. Chan is also a poor woman.

Speaking of which, Ming Fei's psychological age is much older than Chen's, but when she faces Chen's calm appearance, she is no longer so confident that she will definitely be more cunning, ruthless, and comprehensive than Chen's after years of struggle for favor among rich and noble families' wives and concubines.

Despite this, Ming Fei quickly adjusted her facial expression to the best state, ignoring Chen's unbeauty in her eyes, and only her smiling eyes and gentle and mellow smile could be seen. No matter what the reason, it was this person who dragged himself out of that precarious environment with little food and clothing, and this person will influence his future for a long time, so Ming Fei looked at Chen with a grateful smile on his face, wanting to speak, and looking at Chen with affection.

In many cases, not saying it is better than saying it. A person's body language can best indicate his true emotions, Chen really felt Ming Fei's gratitude and admiration, she was very satisfied with Ming Fei's reaction, smiled and stroked Ming Fei's face: "Good boy, you have suffered." ”

Ming Fei looked at Chen gratefully: "Mother's great kindness and great virtue daughter will never forget." "You're so fragrant, this dress and headdress looks good." ”

The girls around chuckled, and Chen smiled slightly: "Later, let them dress you up like me, okay?" ”

Ming Fei lowered her head and smiled shyly.

Chen said: "I asked people to clean up a house in my yard, and you will live with me for the time being." ”

Ming Fei looked at Chen in disbelief, and suspected that he had heard it wrong. Even if he has spent a lot of money to change the so-called "life" for himself, but freezing three feet is not a day's cold, ordinary people will still be a little taboo, so not to avoid suspicion, not taboo, can't wait, presumably it has reached the point of desperateness, and instead pinned hopes on her ethereal "blessing".

Seeing Ming Fei's eyes wide open and looking at him in disbelief, Chen smiled and said, "You are also sensible, there are some things for your brother to tell you later, in short, we are all for your good." ”

Cai Guangting stood at the bottom, and when he heard this, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "The son listens to his mother's arrangement. He glanced at Ming Fei again.

Ming Fei put away her doubts and bowed to Chen happily: "My daughter thanked her mother. It's just that I want to cause trouble to my mother, and I feel uneasy. "Things have developed far beyond her imagination, and with Chen leading by example, being so close to her and taking care of her, I think that in the future, other people will have much less gossip.

Chen smiled: "It is only natural for a daughter to trouble her mother. ”

A delicate children's voice was unwilling to be lonely and sounded beside Luohan's bed: "Are you my third sister?" Yu's mother said that you and I look very similar, you come over and we compare, where is the similarity? ”

Ming Fei looked back when she heard this, and saw a jade doll wearing a goose yellow jacket and the same gold longevity lock as herself around her neck, blinking a pair of big black grape-like eyes, looking at herself curiously, and there was a lot of similarity between her eyebrows and herself, and she knew that this was the sixth lady Mingyu who was three years younger than herself from Zhang's family. smiled at the moment: "Yes, are you Mingyu?" ”

Mingyu nodded, tilted her head to look at Ming Fei for a while, and smiled slightly: "You are really similar to me." Looking back at Chen, he smiled: "Mother, I want to live with you too!" ”

Cai Guangting said with a tiger face: "Mingyu, give your third sister a salute!" ”

Mingyu stuck out her tongue mischievously, got up and looked at Ming Fei in a decent manner, Ming Fei hurriedly returned the salute, and the two sisters recognized each other.

"Okay, stay with me." Chen pulled Ming Fei and Ming Yu to sit down beside her, and said apologetically to Ming Fei: "When you return home for the first time, it stands to reason that a reception banquet should be set up for you." But today is the day of the society, your father asked his colleagues to drink, several aunts and your brothers and sisters have their own places to go, and there are only four of us in the family. Only everything is simple, wronged you, set a table here with me, and the four of us will have a good narrative. ”

Cai Guangting hurriedly said: "What grievances are not wronged?" It's already heartbreaking for my mother. "Letting Ming Fei enter the mansion on the day of the society was originally discussed by him and the Chen family in advance, in order to avoid Cai Guodong not attending Ming Fei's reception banquet, which caused the subordinates to despise Ming Fei more and more, which made Ming Fei sad.

Ming Fei knew in her heart that things were not as simple as they seemed, and she had long known how far Miss Cai San had fallen. At the beginning, even the death of her own mother and grandmother was not allowed to go home to mourn, but now it is not easy to rely on the ideas of her stepmother and brother to get her to live at home. chose to eat the first meal quietly on such a day when there was no one at home, which is actually reasonable.

After today, it will be the marriage of the second lady, this reception banquet can be regarded as an indefinite postponement, and the rest of the family, including her father, will come to see her if they want to see her, and if they don't want to come to see her, they can not come, and there are reasons and excuses. What a reception banquet, what a family meeting, especially seeing her ignorant and hateful cheap father is just her own luck and wishful thinking.

Ming Fei was not disappointed, so it was okay, she was tired from riding in the car, and she didn't want to face those open guns and arrows immediately. But even so, the daughter's admiration for her father, whom she had never met, should still be properly expressed, so when she led herself down to freshen up and change clothes on the jade plate, she said goodbye to Chen with gloomy eyes.

Cai Guangting wanted to comfort Ming Fei, but there was nothing to say. can only calm down, secretly thinking about finding something to play to please Ming Fei.
