Chapter 244: Cousin

Along the way, Jiang Zhixia listened carefully to Mama Mu's introduction, and understood the general situation of the Mu family.

Heavenly principles and virtues, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, brothers, and friends are recognized by everyone.

In addition to the monarch and minister, the father and son are the heaviest.

Therefore, no matter what, as long as Liu Tiankuo recognizes Cheng Enhou, this relationship must be taken seriously---- at least on the surface.

And the Mu family, as Liu Tiankuo's uncle, naturally pays more attention to it in this era when his mother and uncle are big.

When he arrived at the gate of the Chengenhou Mansion, the doorman of the gatehouse saw that it was the carriage of the Chu Mansion, so he quickly unloaded the threshold and let the carriage drive straight in.

By the time Jiang Zhixia got out of the carriage, the mother-in-law who carried the sedan chair was already waiting with a smiling face.

Mrs. Chengenhou's other personal grandmother hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile: "Grandma, everyone is accompanying the in-laws in the old lady's Song'an Courtyard." Let's go over to the tired grandmother. ”

Jiang Zhixia nodded and got into the sedan chair.

When he arrived in the Song'an Courtyard, Jiang Zhixia got off the sedan chair and entered the main hall, where he saw a group of gorgeously dressed warblers and Yanyan.

Today, it happens to be the second day of the first lunar month, so most of the men in the Chengenhou Mansion go to the yamen and go to the yamen, and those who go to the clan study go to the clan study.

Therefore, most of the people in Song'an are women and young children in the backyard.

Jiang Zhixia was the last, and when she came in, there was silence in the lobby.

With a sincere smile on her face, Mrs. Cheng Enhou hurriedly called Jiang Zhixia over.

Jiang Zhixia walked to the middle of the main hall, first gave a salute to Mrs. Liu, and then bowed to Mrs. Chengenhou, the second lady and the third lady, as well as the sisters-in-law who were older than her.

In the Chengenhou Mansion, she never let people find fault with her in such trivial matters as etiquette.

After waiting for Jiang Zhixia to finish the salute, Mrs. Cheng Enhou took Jiang Zhixia with one hand and a teenage girl with the other to introduce them to each other.

"Rong Ya, this is your cousin-in-law."

"Daughter-in-law, this is your cousin of the Mu family, Xingliu, with an elegant name. You just call the sixth sister. Mrs. Cheng Enhou introduced with a smile.

The sixth girl had already received Mrs. Chengenhou's explanation, and she understood this cousin-in-law who must be her own in-law.

She saw Jiang Zhixia's gentleness and kindness, and she immediately liked it, so she hurriedly saluted and said that she had seen her cousin-in-law.

Jiang Zhixia naturally quickly helped her up, and then gave her a meeting gift.

Jiang Zhixia looked at the young and beautiful girl, thought for a while, and asked with a smile: "Is it Rong Zexiuya, is it Rongya who is childish and beautiful?" ”

When Miss Mu Liu heard Jiang Zhixia's words, surprise flashed in her eyes.

Her name is Mu Rongya, and it just so happens that her mother's surname is Rong, so many people think that she is the name of the combination of her parents' surnames.

But few people think about it.

"Exactly. The mother's surname is Rong, so the father gave this name from Chu Ci, which happened to contain the mother's surname. I also have an older sister named Rong Xiu. Mu Rongya said happily to Jiang Zhixia.

Jiang Zhixia covered his mouth and smiled.

In the previous life, when everyone named their children, they mostly said male Chu Ci and female poetry.

That is to say, boys' names are mostly taken from Chu Ci, and girls' names are often taken from the Book of Poetry.

I haven't paid much attention to this issue in this life.

But looking at the name of the Mu family to the girl in Chu Ci, it should not be confined to this, right?

Mu Rongya already had a very good impression of Jiang Zhixia, and Jiang Zhixia explained the origin of her name, so the favor was even greater.

After seeing the ceremony, she has been following Jiang Zhixia's side.

It seems that the recognition of relatives in the Song'an courtyard is nearing the end, after Jiang Zhixia came over, she simply talked for a while, and was taken back to the courtyard of the long house by Mrs. Chengenhou and Mu Rongya.

After everyone sat down in the lobby, Mrs. Chengen Hou said to Jiang Zhixia, "Your fourth uncle and eldest cousin are resting in the front yard first. When your father and Tiankuo come back, we'll see you as a family. Tonight, I'm afraid I'm going to have dinner together in the whole house. ”

Jiang Zhixia nodded, indicating understanding.

Nowadays, a woman's maiden home is regarded as a foreigner. When foreign guests come, in order to show respect, it is natural to welcome them.

What's more, it is Cheng Enhou, the person who favors his wife, and he will definitely let everyone come to greet him.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cheng Enhou seemed to suddenly remember, and said to Jiang Zhixia: "However, don't worry, the little third room is still in the ground, and it won't come out." ”

Jiang Zhixia smiled lightly and nodded.

Mu Rongya next to her kept staring at Jiang Zhixia.

This cousin is the rumored civilian cousin.

Although she is a commoner from a palace maid, she is neither humble nor arrogant, and treats it indifferently. No wonder she was loved by her aunt.

While Jiang Zhixia was talking to Mrs. Chengenhou, she saw Mu Rongya's eyes staring at her from the corner of her eye.

You know that this must be a curiosity about yourself, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia turned his head and smiled at Mu Rongya's mischievous smile: "Sixth sister staring at me like this, why don't you let me show the sixth sister specifically?" ”

Mu Rongya, who thought she was secretly looking at Jiang Zhixia, was startled by the smiling face that suddenly turned around, and then lowered her head in embarrassment.

"You girl, you still have such a naughty time." Mrs. Chengenhou couldn't help but look at Jiang Zhixia with tears and laughter.

Jiang Zhixia also laughed when he saw that he was scared.

The three of them were talking in the main hall, and as a result, Cheng Enhou and Liu Tiankuo led Master Mu Si and Uncle Mu in.

It turned out that after the Mu family arrived in the mansion, Mrs. Chengenhou sent her subordinates to the yamen to find Chengenhou back.

Because Liu Tiankuo was in the palace, it took some time to call him out.

After they came back, they first went to the front yard to meet Master Mu Si and Uncle Mu, and talked for a while.

Then, I came to the backyard and met together.

And Lin Qiushui went back to the Lin family because he wanted to get married.

I've just been notified now. As a result, when she came, she was followed by a small tail---- Miss Lin Si.

Seeing the embarrassed look on Lin Qiushui's face, everyone understood that this must have been forced by Mrs. Lin.

Now that everyone has come, they have recognised their relatives.

The juniors saluted Master Mu Si together, and except for Miss Lin Si, they all got a thick greeting gift.

After all, Miss Lin Si is not a serious relative of the Mu family, and the Mu family will not take her into account when they prepare generous gifts.

Therefore, her face became extremely ugly when she was holding a simple greeting gift.

If it weren't for the Cheng Enhou couple in town, it is estimated that they would have had a seizure on the spot.

"Since I have seen the ceremony, Miss Lin Si will go to the flower hall to drink some hot tea and eat some snacks. Mama Mu, please Miss Lin Si to drink tea. Seeing that everyone had finished saluting each other, Mrs. Chengenhou shouted with a cold face that Mama Mu would take people away.

"Auntie, I'll stay with my eldest sister." Miss Lin Si remembered her mother's entrustment and hurriedly said.

After all, there are still very few opportunities for her to come to the Chengen Marquis Mansion.

Now that I finally came in, I naturally didn't want to lose the opportunity to curry favor with Mrs. Chengenhou.
