Chapter 19 [First Encounter with Mother Xu]

The next day, Jun Yi woke up from a sleep, only to see a ray of golden sunlight through the window, through the half-red tent, and sprinkled on the big red quilt.

"Ah, Qiu Ju, Chunlan." Jun Yi jumped up all of a sudden, startling Hou Ye Xu, who was sleeping well with her.

"Ma'am." The maids outside listened to it, and they all came in.

"How many hours has it been? Hurry up, bring my clothes, and ..........," Jun Yi ordered in a panic.

"Madame, are you going to get there?" Xu Hou, who was inexplicably listening, asked her.

"Master Hou, the concubine has been in the house for several days, and she hasn't gone to see her in-laws, it's really inappropriate, if you don't go today, you can't say anything." Jun Yi said while hurriedly getting dressed.

"But can Madame's body be able to eat?" Xu Hou asked her.

"It's fine, as long as you don't walk much. But Hou Ye has time to go with his concubine today? Junyi said.

"Today is resting, but I am idle. Well, then you can bring your heart to your mother, and you must not force it. Xu Hou said and came down to change clothes and wash up.

The two shared too early, so they went with all the maids and sons to meet Xu Hou's parents.

Jun Yi hadn't been out for a few days, and as soon as he walked to the door, he was blinded by the dazzling sunlight outside, and he squinted and adapted for a while before he half-opened. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that there were pink cherry blossoms in front of me, and there was no miscellaneous tree, and a gust of spring breeze blew by, and the cherry blossoms in the courtyard were colorful, exuding bursts of fragrance. This courtyard is actually relatively simple, obviously not the main courtyard, it should be that there is no one living in ordinary times, and it is temporarily cleaned out, and there are not many houses inside, which is enough for Junyi and their masters and servants to live in a few crowded areas.

"Ahem, ahem."

Seeing Jun Yi standing at the door and looking at the courtyard for a long time, Hou Ye Xu couldn't help coughing embarrassedly and said, "This, this courtyard is a little smaller, and I will ask Qingyu to clean up another courtyard and let Mrs. move in." ”

"There." Jun Yi smiled and said, "I think this yard is quite elegant, I like it very much." Besides, this place is not big or small, if you don't see Hou Ye stepping into it a few times throughout the year, no matter how big the yard is, it's just empty. Therefore, Hou Ye is there, and there is warmth and home. Master Hou, did you say yes or no? ”

Xu Hou listened, nodded with a smile, waved his hand forward, and walked forward first.

Qiu Ju and Chunlan helped Junyi out of the yard along the winding path, there was already a blue curtain and green axle car waiting there, Xu Hou waited for Junyi to come over, helped her to go up first, and then jumped up, the two sat face to face, the maids put down the curtain, and ordered the little servants to lift, go to a wide place, drive the mule, and "dada" forward.

Jun Yi didn't know why he had to take a car to meet his in-laws, didn't the two old men and this Marquis Xu live in the same house?

"Master Hou, is the place where my father-in-law and mother-in-law live far from the place where my concubine lives?" The two sat quietly in the car for about a cup of tea, and Jun Yi couldn't help but ask him when he saw that the car still didn't mean to slow down.

Xu Ziqian glanced at Junyi, and said half-loudly: "Mother lives in the Ci'an Hall next to the Xiwan Buddha Hall, I have asked Qingyu to send someone to clean up the house in Beiwan, and you will move there tomorrow, so that it will be much closer to the mother, and it will be more convenient to settle the province in the morning and dusk." ”

Does it mean that this car is still walking in Xu's house? Then how big is this Xu Mansion? Junyi couldn't help but open the curtain and look out of the car, only to see the car walking on the wide pavement paved with blue stones, on both sides are ancient trees towering to the sky, and the paths extend in all directions, wrapping around the wide lawn or planting a variety of exotic flowers and grass flower beds, interspersed with towers and pavilions, rockery pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, it is really not magnificent!

"The Hou Ye's Mansion is really extraordinary, so atmospheric." Junyi lowered the curtain and said with a smile.

"This is also the emperor's grace and the saint's gift." Xu Hou replied.

"That's also the Hou Ye's wisdom and martial arts, and his meritorious service to the emperor and the society can only win this honor." Jun Yi said with a chuckle.

Hou Ye Xu listened, but shook his head with a wry smile and did not say anything more.

About touch and walked away two. After three teas, the green car finally stopped. A mother-in-law opened the curtain, and Qiu Ju Chunlan hurriedly came over to help Junyi get out of the car. Enter a hanging flower door, on both sides is the corridor of copying hands, in the middle is a hall, there is a marble carved with two cranes spreading their wings on the ground, turn the interstitial, you will see a magnificent courtyard. The front of the courtyard is several upper rooms, and the two sides are verandah wings, all of which are carved beams and painted buildings, which are exquisite and abnormal. Jun Yi, who is the soul of a thousand years later, was also shocked by such an extremely gorgeous building in ancient times, so he paid attention every step and followed Xu Hou half a step, neither moving forward nor falling behind.

When the two of them entered the main house, they saw that there were maids and maids standing around the house. Twenty people, but there was silence, not a sound. Directly above the Taishi chair next to the offering table sat a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman. I saw that her temples were already a little white but obviously black hair, the corners of her eyes had been carved with a few fish lines by the years, her skin was too fair, her face was sparsely scattered with a few freckles, a high nose bridge, deep sunken eye sockets, a pair of blue eyes like Xu Ziqian, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, her eyes were like electricity, shooting towards Ye Junyi who had just stepped in.

"Mother, my son and his wife have come to say goodbye to my mother." Xu Ziqian stepped forward and saluted.

"My daughter-in-law has seen my mother." Junyi also stepped forward and gave a salute.

Here, a mother-in-law stepped forward to put down the putuan in front of the two of them, and both of them knelt down in a proper manner, and a maid handed over tea. Xu Ziqian called his mother, handed her the tea, and the old lady took it and drank it.

Jun Yi also called out to her mother, but the old lady was still sitting upright, carefully looking at the teacup handed to her by Xu Ziqian, and did not accept Jun Yi's tea. After waiting for a while, Xu Ziqian saw that his mother had not answered, so he stood up quickly.

"Isn't the mother looking forward to her son's marriage every day, why is this today?"

"Do you know that there is a mother like me? A woman with such a reputation killed her parents and behaved inappropriately. I was also deceived by the new Ningbo husband and wife when I hired her as a concubine, I didn't know these facts, but you know, why didn't you discuss with my mother and become the master? Are you still the mother that I bore you thee? The old lady slammed the teacup next to Junyi, and the tea was all spilled on her.

"Mother's words are wrong," said Junyi, who was kneeling on the ground at this time, "One of them, Junyi's mother fell into the water and died, and his father missed his mother too much and left sadly, leaving Junyi alone and helpless, and people's life and death are determined by heaven, and no one can disobey it, is it Junyi's fault?" Second, when Junyi was captured by thieves, it was Hou Ye who saw it with his own eyes, and Junyi also thought that he had a clear conscience in those days, and there was no loss of virginity. ”

"In that case, how do outsiders tell you all sorts of legends?" The old lady said again.

"That's because everyone in this world is shallow, and they don't ask the root cause, chasing after the wind and shadows, and spreading rumors indiscriminately." Junyi still replied respectfully holding the tea.

"Mother, Madame has a point. Who is the Son? Can't you tell the difference between right and wrong? The son is taught by the mother, and the mother should not believe those rumors, but believe that her son is. Xu Hou also said angrily to the old lady.

When the old lady saw that her son was angry, she tilted her head to the side angrily, but she did not say anything. There was a woman standing next to her, and when she saw it, she hurriedly brought the tea in Junyi's hand, took it to her hand and whispered, "Auntie, who is my cousin?" How dare a villain deceive him? My cousin said that this was a rumor, so it must be. When this cousin-in-law enters the door, it is a family, and the family must trust each other to be talented and beautiful. ”

When the old lady heard this, she took the tea and drank it, put down the teacup, and saw that Ye Junyi was still kneeling in a proper manner, and her head had been lowered, so she reluctantly said, "Alas, it's okay, since Qian'er is satisfied with you, and Qian'er is so old, I, the old man, am also with you." As he spoke, he raised his head, and the mother-in-law next to him saw it, so he helped Junyi up.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law made a gift for my mother, I hope my mother will not dislike it." As he spoke, Jun Yi took a gauze scarf made of purple silk yarn from Qiu Ju's hand and handed it to the old lady. Although the ceremony is not heavy, this yarn was originally a tribute to the Western Regions, but it is also a rare thing, plus the chrysanthemum embroidered on it can also let the old lady see whether the daughter-in-law's needlework is good, which is very important as a daughter-in-law in ancient times.

"Oh, this scarf is so beautiful, aunt, look at the chrysanthemum embroidered on it, how well it is embroidered. Come, I'll wrap it around you," the woman just now took the scarf and helped the old lady wrap it up, "it's really worthy of Auntie's outfit today." ”

This woman's voice is very sweet, which makes people listen to the fragrance of flowers, refreshing, and her language is also very gentle and polite, Ye Junyi has been hanging her head, and she has not seen her face, only glimpsing her lower body is a white plain mopping long skirt, and there is no trace of decoration, quite like a white lotus that has just bloomed in summer. She secretly praised in her heart that Xu's mansion was really a place where the dragon and the tiger were hidden, and no woman was a mortal in this world.

"Oh, really?" The old lady seemed to be much more cheerful by the woman's words, and looked at the scarf carefully, "Well, the handiwork is not bad." After thinking for a while, he said with a straight face, "Daughter-in-law, since you have entered the door, you have to live for this family, what is the matter with your body, how can you be so unhelpful?" I still have some good ginseng here, so you can take it back and make up for it. ”

"Thank you mother, in fact, my daughter-in-law just accidentally contracted a cold on the wedding day, and it has been very good in the past few days." Jun Yi replied respectfully.

The old lady was very satisfied with Junyi's attitude, in fact, she didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, but she had listened to some rights and wrongs in the past few days, and her son had never said hello to her in advance, so she felt that she couldn't get over her face just now. So he brushed the tea foam with the lid of the teacup, and continued: "You are the master mother of this big family, everything will be handed over to you in the future, and it is only serious to give birth to Lin'er for my Qian'er as soon as possible." ”

An old lady with Europa blood, but with orthodox Chinese feudal thoughts, Ye Junyi thought in his heart that this was quite funny, but more helpless.

"Yes." Ye Junyi lowered his head and replied, "Everything is subject to my mother's arrangement." ”

"Hmm." The old lady nodded, and a mother-in-law here hurriedly took a box and handed it to Junyi.

"Hey," the old lady sighed, a little depressed and as if muttering to herself, "I don't really need him to appreciate these things, and I don't need them anymore." Daughter-in-law, take it. ”

Jun Yi timidly glanced at Xu Ziqian from the corner of her eye, Xu Ziqian nodded at her, she reached out to take it, and thanked her again. It seems that the old lady is also the same as her parents in ordinary families, although she is a little picky about her daughter-in-law, she is still kind to her children in her heart.
