Chapter 207: Serving Tea

Mrs. Chen lives in a five-entry house, the door of the black lacquer beast title copper ring is open, the steps are carved with the pattern of five bats offering longevity, and the pines and cypresses are planted next to it. Cover a lintel engraved with 'Danshan'. There was a little girl sweeping beside the steps, and when she saw them coming over, she hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said with a smile: "The third master and the third lady are fine." "There's another little girl next to her who goes in and spreads the word.

Jin Chao stared at this little girl for a moment, she was wearing a pea-green twig striped short shirt, combing her bun, thirteen or fourteen years old.

She thought to herself, something was really fateful. Who would have known that the little girl who is not even a third-class girl now and can only sweep outside the house will be a celebrity in front of the old lady in the future.

She asked Qingpu to give her a red seal, and asked casually: "She looks well-behaved, what's your name?" ”

The little girl took the red envelope, her cheeks were red with excitement, and she bent down flatteredly and said, "The slave is called a vial." ”

Vial? Jin Chao remembered that her name was Qingfu in her previous life, the most important girl beside the old lady. Wherever Ren goes, others have to give a little thin noodles, and even a strong person like the second lady Qin doesn't dare to look down on her, and whenever she comes to pass the word, she also has to arrange refreshments to entertain her.

At this time, a mother-in-law wearing a sandalwood-colored armor and a jade bracelet came out of the house, smiling and blessing: "The slave maid has asked the third master and the third lady to say goodbye." Mrs. Tai invited the two of them to come in and speak. ”

Jin Chao followed Chen Sanye in, and heard a voice behind him: "Come here, come here, heat a pot of water here, you come to see the fire." ”

The vial whispered, and the sound of the broom being lowered was heard again.

The last thing the servants wanted to do was the kitchen guys, tired and dirty.

As soon as Jin Chao's thought flashed, he saw that he had entered the fifth entry. Mrs. Chen likes to be quiet, and does not like luxury, so she lives in the back cover room of the fifth entrance, from the corner gate past is the Chen family's Buddhist hall, behind is the lotus pond, which is very cool in summer.

It's very lively now, and there are laughter and laughter from time to time.

The girl picked a muslin curtain embroidered with magnolia flowers, and turned a rosewood screen to see a wide secondary room. There were a few ladies who Jin Chao felt familiar, and two sat next to Mrs. Chen, but she was very familiar, and Mrs. Chen was sitting on the Luohan bed and looking at her with a smile.

The furniture in the room is made of black lacquer, which is very heavy, revealing the traces of precipitation over time. The cushion of the brocade is also navy blue or light cyan, and a long place is placed by the small window, which enshrines the two-foot-high Buddha statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, the three-legged unicorn incense burner, and the high-footed cloisonne porcelain plate with fresh oranges, pears, and trough cakes. Inside, there are 12 sandalwood fans carved with baby play lotus pattern and Bogu pattern.

Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "The third daughter-in-law looks good in red, come over and let her mother take a good look." ”

Gu Jinchao was stunned. Chen Sanye glanced at her and said in a low voice: "Why are you stunned, go over quickly." She suddenly remembered that she was the third daughter-in-law...... I'm really used to staying at the Gu family. She walked in front of Mrs. Chen, first bowed down to greet her, Mrs. Chen smiled and took her hand, and first introduced her to the familiar ladies, Mrs. Chang, Mrs. Zheng Guo, Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu, who lived in Rongxiang Hutong, and Mrs. Wu, who settled the account for her.

Mrs. Chen said to her softly: "Although it is not yet time to recognize your relatives, your sister-in-law and younger siblings will meet first. ”

pointed to the two people sitting next to her to get to know her.

Jin Chao looked up, and sitting on the left hand side of Old Madam Chen was the second lady Qin, whose name was Xianlan. That is, the wife of Chen Erye, the political envoy of Shaanxi Province, with a smile on her face, a pair of slender phoenix eyes, and slender eyebrows. Combed the peony bun and wore a red gold ruby hairpin. Nearly forty years old, the family is really Ding Qin, there has been a term of elders, no less than ten people, no less than ten people, Qin is the second daughter of the Qin family.

She's also a very powerful person...... Jin Chao didn't understand anything in his previous life, and he suffered a lot of secret losses from her.

Although Chen Sanye is the eldest son, the general affairs of the house have always been the Qin family's affairs. One is that Jiang's temperament is too soft, and the other is that she is weak and sickly. The Qin family was born tall, and she learned housekeeping since she was a child, and her status in the mansion was very high. Later, Mrs. Chen's health gradually deteriorated, so she intended to hand over the affairs of the inner courtyard to the Jin Dynasty, and the Qin family gave her a lot of stumbling blocks. But then it seems that I had a serious illness, so I don't pay much attention to these things......

Jin Chao saluted the Qin clan and shouted, "Sister-in-law." ”

Qin smiled and asked his girl to bring a gilded box over: "My brother and sister are really beautiful and fragrant." After a while, I will have to receive a lot of money for my brothers and sisters, so I will give the meeting gift first, so as not to keep my brothers and sisters busy. ”

Jin Chao thanked him, took it and handed it to Qingpu on the side.

The woman on the other side stood up and bowed, and said with a smile: "Then I have to ask the third sister-in-law for a meeting gift first!" ”

Old Madam Chen introduced, and Jin Chaocai smiled: "The fourth brother and sister are polite. He took the pre-prepared golden silk phoenix title jewel hairpin brocade box from Caifu and handed it to her.

The fourth lady, Wang, wore a purple and light yellow peony pattern makeup gown, a stone blue skirt, a phoenix tail bun, and a pearl head. He was born white, with thin lips, and was not yet thirty years old, but still had a little color.

Wang was born in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, his ancestors were businessmen, and it was not until her father's generation that she came out of Jinshi, and later her uncle became the same as the Zhejiang Salt Transportation Division, and the family was really rich. married Chen Siye and has a son and a daughter.

The Jin Dynasty didn't have a deep impression of the Wang family, but remembered that he was a smart person, whether it was when the Qin family was in charge or when she was in charge, the Wang family had a good life. However, the relationship with Chen Siye is not very good, and her girl once heard Wang crying about Chen Siye at night.

The women exchanged pleasantries, and Chen Sanye couldn't speak, so he looked at Gu Jinchao quietly on the side, thinking that if she couldn't cope with it, he would go over and help him say a few words. But although she is a bride, she is not cramped at all. There was a calm smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and he stood firmly with his hands behind his back.

It was at this time that a little girl came over to spread the word, saying that the sixth lady had something to delay, so she didn't have to wait for her.

Old Madam Chen sighed helplessly: "Then I won't wait for her." "Let the girl help her up.

The group went to the main hall that they entered before, and Mrs. Chen sat down on the Taishi chair, and the empty Taishi chair next to it represented the old lady Chen who had been dead for seven years.

Jin Chao kowtowed to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, and gave tea and shouted, "Mother." Old Madam Chen smiled kindly, took the things she had prepared from the girl's hand and handed them to her.

Jin Chao felt heavy in his hand, thinking that in his previous life, Old Madam Chen seemed to have only given her a pair of white jade bracelets...... It seems to be a lot more abundant.

After finishing the salute, Chen Sanye walked to her side and whispered to her: "I'll accompany you here first, Zhao Zongbing and Zheng Guogong haven't left yet, I want to go over to entertain." If you have anything to think about, tell your mother that she is kind and will not embarrass anyone. ”

Second Master Chen is not in the mansion now, and Fourth Master Chen and Sixth Master Chen have too low official ranks. He is the only one who can afford to accompany him.

Jin Chao glanced up at him. Chen Sanye's expression was very natural, as if these were normal things. This is the Chen family's back house...... Could it be that she will be bullied again, and it will not be possible for him to take care of her......

Chen Sanye was also like this in his previous life?

Jin Chao tried to think about it, but he didn't have the slightest memory of him...... She couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and said softly, "You can go, I'll talk to my mother here for a while." ”

Chen Yanyun felt that her expression seemed to be a little reluctant, so she said, "I'll come over in a while,"

After another pause, he smiled and said, "Don't worry. ”

Jin Chao watched Chen Yanyun's tall figure in a crimson shirt disappear, and muttered in his heart...... She has nothing to worry about!

At this time, Mrs. Chen called Jin Chao over and sat beside her, and said with a smile: "You saw Mother Wang yesterday?" ”

Jin Chao nodded, and Old Madam Chen continued: "She was the nurse of the Jiang family in the past, and she used to help her with her dowry and three-room affairs. The third child only has one daughter, Sister Xi, and you will see you in a while. She is still young, and you still have to help manage the Jiang family's dowry, and you will give it to her when she gets married. So I pointed out to Mother Wang, she is familiar with these things and can help you. ”

Jin Chao nodded and said: "I should help my sister, but my sister's dowry is still written in a booklet for you to keep, and I will also show you the monthly income, what do you think?" "Lest someone make a fuss about Jiang's dowry in the future, she hasn't encountered it before.

Mrs. Chen felt that she had thought it through, so she agreed.

She called the Qin family over and said to Jin Chao: "Now it's your second sister-in-law's housekeeper, if you don't understand something, or if you want it, just go to her." ”

Qin said with a smile: "The third brother and sister have just married in, if there is a girl who disobeys the discipline, you come and tell me, and I will clean them up for you." ”

Jin Chao smiled and said nothing, thinking that the girl in her room was disobedient, but she asked the Qin family to clean it up. She didn't want to gain a foothold in the Chen family.

There was no such thing in a previous life.

As a few people were talking about this, a little girl came to report that the sixth lady was coming.

The sixth lady, Ge Shi, is the one who the Jin Dynasty remembers the most. However, in her memory, she was already older than her, and when she suddenly saw Ge Shi so young, Jin Chao was really in a trance for a while.

Ge and Gu Jinchao are completely opposite personalities, among the ladies of the Chen family, she is always the one who is the most speechless. In her previous life, don't say that the Qin family and the Jin Dynasty looked down on her, and the Wang family didn't pay much attention to her. Fortunately, she also gave birth to a boy, otherwise her status would be even lower.

Ge Shi first saluted Mrs. Chen and muttered an explanation: "Mother, it's me who is not good, I got up late......"

Ge Shi couldn't help but have slightly red eyes, so he turned sideways and whispered to Jin Chao to say goodbye.
