Chapter 174: Tea Ceremony
The next morning, when it was still dark, Jiang Zhixia woke up.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was nestled in Chu Tiankuo's arms. So, her face turned crimson and moved to the side embarrassedly---- in her previous life and this life, she had never slept in the same bed with a man.
"Are you awake?" Chu Tiankuo's gentle voice came.
"Hmm. Today, I have to get up early to serve tea to my father. Jiang Zhixia nested in the quilt, and a muffled voice came out.
"Dad said, it doesn't have to be so early. He said that he was not fully recovered, and he needed to sleep a little more. Let's rest enough, and then we can go. Chu Tiankuo explained with a smile.
"Really?" Jiang Zhixia was a little puzzled. That's not what the matchmaker said.
"What did I lie to you. It's true. Chu Tiankuo said with a smile, "If you don't sleep, I'm going to sleep." ”
After saying that, Chu Tiankuo closed his eyes and really began to fall asleep again.
Hearing Chu Tiankuo say this, and seeing that he really slept, Jiang Zhixia was really tired from yesterday's wedding. So, I really fell asleep again.
When I woke up, it was getting dark.
Jiang Zhixia saw that there was no one on the bed beside him. She sat up in a hurry.
"Awake?" Chu Tiankuo, who was outside the Duobao Pavilion, seemed to hear the movement, so he walked in.
"Why didn't you call me?" Jiang Zhixia said anxiously.
She looked up at the drip on the bedside table, and when she calculated the time, it was almost half past eight.
It's really late. I've never seen a new daughter-in-law like this.
She got up in a hurry, and hurriedly put on the new red clothes that had been placed at the bedside.
After putting on the new clothes, he saw that Chu Tiankuo had already put a basin of hot water on the basin rack.
She mumbled a thank you. I quickly started to wash.
After washing, she hurriedly rubbed the grease, then simply painted her eyebrows with her eyebrows, and after dotting her cheeks with rouge, she pulled Chu Tiankuo out.
"Let's eat something and pad it before we go?" Chu Tiankuo grabbed her and said softly.
"It's already late, how can you eat again? At this hour, my father must have gotten up early. You don't call me either. ”
Jiang Zhixia said eagerly as he pulled Chu Tiankuo out.
Normally, the bride has to get up early to serve tea, and then serve her in-laws for breakfast.
Chu Tiankuo saw her eagerness, so he had no choice but to smile and let her pull her out, and said no more.
On the contrary, after Jiang Zhixia walked out of the courtyard gate, she paused----- she didn't know which way to go.
So, she looked up at Chu Tiankuo. saw him smile and asked, "Why didn't the lady leave?" Keep walking. ”
Jiang Zhixia saw Chu Tiankuo, who was laughing at him, and glared at him fiercely.
Chu Tiankuo only thought she was cute.
Jiang Zhixia couldn't help but straighten his face----- he was already late. She was in a hurry to ask for peace, but Chu Tiankuo was good, and he still had the heart to tease her.
"Alright, alright." Chu Tiankuo saw that Jiang Zhixia was really angry, and hurriedly coaxed.
While coaxing, he took her hand and wanted to move forward. Jiang Zhixia was a little shy and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he twitched twice, but he didn't twitch.
She raised her eyes to look at Chu Tiankuo again, and saw that he seemed to be unconscious and had to continue to walk forward.
Jiang Zhixia wondered if he was making too much of a fuss?
However, what she didn't see was that the roots of Chu Tiankuo's ears were red.
"Let's go and say hello to Daddy first. Have another breakfast at Dad's, and then I'll accompany you to visit our house, okay? ”
When Chu Tiankuo said 'our family', his tone couldn't help but be tactful, revealing a sense of satisfaction.
Jiang Zhixia turned a deaf ear, and just pushed him to hurry up.
She's a conscientious person. Since she has agreed to be a lady of others, in terms of rules and etiquette, she will not let people gossip.
Chu Tiankuo saw Jiang Zhixia's appearance, so he had to quickly take her to Chu Xiong's main courtyard.
Because Chu Xiong is only alone, his courtyard is located in the front yard, and the name is 'Heling Courtyard'. And because the Great Calendar Dynasty is respected in the east, this courtyard is on the east side of the house.
When I arrived at the 'Heling Courtyard', I saw Chu Xiong sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, a pot of tea, a plate of snacks, and a book, looking very carefree.
Hearing the little girl's advice, he stood up, raised his eyes to look over, and said with a smile: "Why did you come here so early?" Didn't you say that you should rest a little longer? ”
"Where am I in a hurry? It's not your daughter-in-law yet, you have to say it's late, and you dragged me all the way over. The maid was following behind, panting for run. ”
Chu Tiankuo looked at Jiang Zhixia dotingly and said. Behind are Xing Ruolan and Xiaoman, who are holding the meeting gift.
Xing Ruolan is better, after all, she is a person who practices martial arts. It's Xiao Man, who is really out of breath.
Jiang Zhixia was just laughing awkwardly on the side. When others weren't paying attention, he glared at Chu Tiankuo.
Chu Tiankuo saw Jiang Zhixia with a rich expression, and the smile on his face did not stop.
"It's not too late, it's not too late." Chu Xiong said with a smile as he walked towards the main hall.
Wait until Chu Xiong sat down on the Taishi chair at the top. There was a servant, who first laid a futon on the ground, and then brought a tray with a tea cup from the small table.
Jiang Zhixia knelt on the futon, picked up the tea cup, took off the tea lid, handed it to Chu Xiong and said, "Father, please drink tea." ”
Chu Xiong happily responded: "Okay, good." ”
Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. After drinking the tea, he placed the teacup on the tray. Then, he took out a large thick red envelope and put it on the tray.
"My father came in a hurry, and he didn't prepare anything good. This is your mother's favorite bracelet when she was alive, so I'll leave it to you as a thought. For the rest of the money, you will treat it as your own private property. Don't give Tiankuo this stinky boy flowers. ”
Jiang Zhixia respectfully accepted the big red envelope, only to feel that it was heavy inside.
"You don't have to worry about it in the future. When Tiankuo is at home, you can come over and have a look. If you're not at home, you go about your business. As long as you live your little life, your father will be happier than anything else. Chu Xiong said to Jiang Zhixia with a sigh.
Jiang Zhixia nodded respectfully.
After toasting the tea and chatting a few words, it was time for the new daughter-in-law to serve her in-laws for breakfast.
Everyone moved to the flower hall next to it, and saw a table full of breakfast.
"I don't know what you like to eat. So let the kitchen send you a copy of each breakfast, and you can see which ones you like to eat, and then let the kitchen send them over. Chu Xiong said lovingly.
After Jiang Zhixia thanked him, he stood next to him, took out his chopsticks, and wanted to give Chu Xiong a dish.
"It doesn't have to be that way. If you have time, you can come and eat with me. If you don't have time, you can eat in the backyard by yourself. I don't have to wait. ”
Chu Xiong stopped Jiang Zhixia's cloth vegetables and asked her to quickly sit down to eat.
When Chu Tiankuo saw it, he wanted to pull Jiang Zhixia to sit down.
"A father is loving, and a daughter-in-law can't ignore the rules. For this first meal, my daughter-in-law still has to cook vegetables." Jiang Zhixia also insisted on saying.
Father-in-law generally does not treat his daughter-in-law harshly, but there are always exceptions.
Like serving tea and pouring water, the morning and dusk are provincial, and other families have not been without it.
Today, it seems that this father-in-law is good to her.
