The room fell silent.

Eleven Niang looked up and saw the goldfish swaying on the windowsill.

She flicked the fish bowl with her fingers.

The goldfish swam away in terror, and soon gathered together again, spitting bubbles at her against the glass.

I don't know why, she suddenly thought of Luo Zhenhong, who was far away in Yuhang.

The first time he hugged him, he spat bubbles at himself.

Eleven Niang showed a shallow smile on her face, and decided to write a letter of congratulations to the fifth aunt and Luo Zhenxing.

Amber moved the lamp and rolled up her sleeves to help Eleven Niang polish the ink.

After writing the letter, Aunt Wen came over.

"The house over there has been cleaned up!" She smiled and bowed to Eleven Niang, "Look, do you want to change your clothes?" ”

"No need." Eleven Niang handed the letter to Amber and motioned for her to find someone to send it out, "I won't go out again, so that's it." ”

She wore a small coat with tooth-white plain makeup, a beautiful blue Huhang plain skirt, and the green silk of the black crow and crow was curled, and only the magnolia flower mutton fat jade was hung on her waist.

Aunt Wen smiled, said no more, and went to look at the floor clock in the east room: "There is still a quarter of an hour before the sedan chair should enter the door!" ”

Eleven Niang nodded and stood up.

The little maid ran in: "Master Hou is back!" ”

Eleven Niang and Aunt Wen went to the hall.

Xu Lingyi wore a semi-old stone blue lake silk plain face straight jacket that she was used to wearing, her black hair was curled with bamboo hairpins, her posture was straight, and her big phoenix eyes were bright and bright. Probably because of the wine, his face was slightly red, and his eyebrows were less serious than before, and he looked a lot more kind.

The two stepped forward and saluted, and Eleven Niang reminded him: "Master Hou should change his clothes!" ”

Xu Lingyi entered the inner room and changed into a brand-new royal blue moire tuanhua lake silk straight jacket, which made people more spiritual.

Aunt Wen immediately complimented with a smile: "Master Hou is like this, it seems that he is several years younger......"

Xu Lingyi glanced at her slowly.

Her words were stuck in the middle, and there was a bit of embarrassment on her face.

The maids serving in the room all hung their heads and made a look of not seeing, which made the atmosphere a little dull.

Eleven Niang helped Aunt Wen to relieve the siege: "Is the tea ready?" ”

Aunt Wen was really relieved when she heard this: "It's all ready." The smile returned to her face, "The official-made blue and white twig-patterned tea cup will be soaked in a good dragon well when the time comes." ”

As soon as the air in the room relaxed, a small servant ran in: "Master Hou, the sedan chair has entered the door." ”

Xu Lingyi nodded when she listened, turned to Eleven Niang and said, "You go back to the house!" ”

When Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi discussed the matter of tea ceremony before, Xu Lingyi said disapprerovantly, "Pepsi filial piety comes first", and Eleven Niang thought of indirect tea in Xici.

As soon as she sat down, a little servant ran in: "Master Hou, the newcomer has entered the door." ”

Yang's sedan chair came in through the back door and quickly stopped in front of the steps of the main room.

Mother Du and Mother Song helped the newcomer in the pink jacket out and into the hall, and Aunt Wen stepped forward with a smile and lifted her hijab.

The air in the room was suffocated, and after a while, Aunt Wen's silver bell-like laughter sounded: "Master Hou, the newcomer has given you tea." ”

Green Cloud hurriedly placed the kneeling mat in front of Yang.

After entering the door, Yang Yingying, who had been lowering her eyebrows, knelt down, pressed the tea in Song's mother's hand, and held it high above her head.

Xu Lingyi took the tea cup.

Yang couldn't help but raise his eyelids and saw a young and handsome face.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly lowered her eyelids again, but the corner of her eyes glanced to the other side involuntarily - according to the law, there should be Xiao Luo in the Yongping Hou stepfamily.

There was no one on the Taishi chair, only the scarlet red cloud dragon holding the bat cushion mat spread on the chair, which was as bright as the summer sun in the light.

She couldn't help but be stunned.

Du's mother had already taken her arm.

In the flint lightning, Yang immediately understood.

The family once told her that Xiao Luo was still in the filial piety period.

I thought it was because I was afraid of colliding with the happy event, so I chose another room to sit.

She took advantage of the situation to get up. But there was a mellow and gentle voice in his ear, but with a few indifferent voices: "Let's make tea here!" ”

Yang felt that Du's mother who was helping him was stagnant.

Xu Lingyi glanced at Du's mother: "Madame is still in the filial piety period." ”

It seems to be explaining, and it seems to be commanding.

Mother Du couldn't help but look up at Xu Lingyi.

He sat there with a solemn expression, with a few coldness between his eyebrows, and Yang Shijing's cup of tea was placed on the coffee table by him very casually.

Mother Du's heart moved, she straightened up quietly, and quickly retreated to the side with her eyelids.

Mother Song was a little surprised when she heard this.

This is a little different from what Madame said earlier. What kind of worship is it to serve tea here......

But at this time, how can she question it.

Mother Song suppressed the confusion in her heart, and acted as quickly as before, picking up the tea cup that had already been prepared from the tea tray held by the little maid and handing it to Yang.

Yang had a faint feeling in her heart, but Song Ma** had already handed over the tea, she didn't have time to think about it, took the teacup, lowered her head, and raised the teacup above her head.

Xu Lingyi glanced at Aunt Wen who was standing next to the Taishi's chair.

Aunt Wen's people suddenly rolled like a stormy wave, and they were like tormenting on a blazing fire, and they were stuck there.

Let her take the tea!

She's a concubine!

Xu Lingyi glanced at her again, with a blade-like chill in her eyes.

It was as if she had been drenched with a scoop of cold water for nine days, and Aunt Wen came back to her senses with a shudder.

She took a deep breath and forced a cheerful smile to step forward and take the teacup in Yang's hand.

"Sister Yang," Aunt Wen's voice was respectful and showed a few intimacy, "Our lady is still in the filial piety period. ”

She couldn't mess with any of the people in this room, so she used honorifics.

Xu Lingyi looked at the smile of satisfaction flashing in his eyes and stood up: "Okay, King Shun is still outside, you take good care of the Yang family, I will come when I go." Then he strode out of the hall.

There was silence in the room.

"Quick, get the newlyweds into the house." Aunt Wen thought of the coldness in Xu Lingyi's eyes just now, and hurriedly showed a cheerful smile, "Otherwise, Master Hou will come back and blame it, I won't be able to eat and leave!" ”

Du's mother smiled and stepped forward to hug Yang's.

Aunt Wen handed the teacup to Lu Yun on the side, and stepped forward to point to Mother Du: "Sister Yang, this is Mother Du beside our Mrs. Tai, who has served our Mrs. for more than 40 years, even when our Hou Ye saw it, he also respectfully shouted 'Mom'." ”

Yang hurriedly shouted "Mother Du" obediently.

Mother Du smiled and slapped Aunt Wen: "Don't listen to her nonsense." We are subordinates, and when we meet and shout, it is for Mrs. Tai to be decent, what credit do you have. Then he smiled and pointed to Mother Song on the side, "This is Mother Song, the most powerful person beside Mrs. You'll deal with a lot in the future. ”

Yang hurriedly shouted respectfully, "Mother Song".

Mother Song waved her hand with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

"Okay, okay, what are you going to do now!" When Aunt Wen saw it, she cordially took Yang's other arm and said with concern, "I've been busy all day today!" While the Hou Ye is going to toast, you can also rest. If there is anything, I will talk about it later. It's a long time coming! ”

Yang saw that she was wearing tourmaline stone emerald flowers on her head, opal earrings on her ears, wearing gold makeup and flower gowns all over her body, and gold silk embroidered shoes on her feet, petite and small, with a smile, saying that she was the mother in charge, and she was too gorgeous; said that she was a concubine, and just now she received the tea of the master and mother she respected; said that he was a guest, but his demeanor was too informal. I couldn't make up my mind for a while, glanced at Mother Song, and hesitated: "This is ......"

"Look at me! I only talked to myself. Mother Song smiled and introduced her, "This is our aunt in the house, and her maiden name is Wen." ”

Yang shouted "sister" and squatted down to salute Aunt Wen.

Aunt Wen held her arm and didn't let go: "Don't, don't, don't, you are given by the Queen Mother, your body is noble, how can I let you salute me." ”

Du's mother took the opportunity to put Yang's hand on her shoulder.

Yang reluctantly bowed: "Look at what my sister said." Since you enter a door, you are a family. The former is the past, and the present is the present. My sister naturally respects ...... before I enter the door."

"Oh, Sister Yang is really good at talking!" While greeting her, he walked out with her in his arms.

"You still call me sister......" Yang and Aunt Wen spoke, drifting apart.

The maids and mother-in-law beside Aunt Wen immediately followed, and hugged Aunt Wen and the Yang family to the east courtyard.

Mother Du and Mother Song exchanged a look.

The room soon fell silent.

Lu Yun came over with the cup of tea at a loss: "Mother Song, look at this tea......"

Mother Song hesitated slightly, and Mother Du said, "Since it's cold, let's splash it!" ”

Green Cloud looked at the steaming tea, his face full of puzzlement.

Mother Song was already smiling.

Mother Du looked at it and nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The newcomer has entered the door, and it is not too early, I quit my wife, and it is time to go back." I have to serve Mrs. Tai to get up early tomorrow morning! ”

"Even so, I don't dare to keep you." Mother Song said, and went to open the curtain in person, "When you are more free one day, come and sit again!" ”

Du's mother responded with a smile and bowed her head into the inner room.

"Madam," she bent her knees and saluted Eleven Niang, "the newlyweds have already served tea, and the Hou Ye has gone to the outer courtyard to entertain the guests." I wonder what else you have to say? ”

Eleven Niang sat indoors, faintly hearing the movement outside, and was full of confusion, but she didn't expect Du's mother to resign.

The newcomer always has someone to support her when she gets off the sedan chair, she originally wanted to invite Mother Shi next to the fifth lady, but it happened that Sister Xin was a little bad, so she invited Mother Du instead.

I don't know the situation, so she didn't want to ask too much about some things, so she thanked Du's mother with a smile and asked Amber to take out the thank you gift she had prepared earlier.

Two makeup flowers, two fine arrowroots, two silk silk, and two white silk are all of the highest quality.

"Mom, don't shirk, get involved in the joy of our lord."

Du's mother didn't refuse, accepted it with a smile, thanked her, and said goodbye.

Eleven Niang's face sank: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Mother Song couldn't stop smiling on her face: "Master Hou didn't let the newcomer give you tea!" ”

No tea ceremony?

What do you mean?

Eleven Niang looked at Mother Song in surprise.

"If the concubine enters the door and doesn't give tea to the main mother, it is not a ceremony." Mother Song smiled, "If there is no ceremony, how can it be regarded as the concubine of the Hou Ye!" ”
