Chapter 156 Entering the Mansion?
Rewards for Heshi Bi
~~~~~~
Take your wife to sweep the festival?
Doesn’t this mean that he also recognized her in front of his ancestors?
Chu Xinyi was stunned for a long time before she came back to her taste. Her face changed rapidly and she raised her foot and walked out.
"...The general really brought his wife to sweep the sacrifice?" Chu Xinyi asked as soon as she entered the Yangxinyuan.
After walking along the way, she didn't believe it. Chen Zhongqing quietly took Zhen Shiniang to the ancestral grave to sweep the sacrifice.
Even the living people at home didn't admit it, but he actually took the dead to kowtow!
The old lady was sitting in the hall with a gloomy face. When she saw her coming in, she snorted coldly, without saying anything.
"... The general went out during the day yesterday. Before leaving, he made an appointment with the second master to wait in front of the ancestral tomb today." Yang Lan said, "When General Gao and the second master went, the general was already waiting there with his wife on horseback and was waiting there." "He glanced at the old lady, "General Manager Gao felt it was inappropriate, so he asked him to come back to deliver the letter."
"The person has been brought with me, and it's too late to stop it now!" The Shen family's ancestral tomb was in Fenghuang Mountain 30 miles away from Shangjing City. The second aunt Li Caixiang frowned and said, "It's fine to worship the ancestors, but I'm afraid the general will bring it back again. …” I didn’t have to stir up a good family dinner.
"He dares!" A trace of ferociousness flashed in the old lady's eyes.
All the concubines trembled.
Look at this posture, if Chen Zhongqing really brought Zhen Shiniang back, the farewell banquet tonight would be a must.
Look at me, let me see you.
Yang Lan smiled embarrassedly, "...Tomorrow is the Sixth Princess' wedding banquet. The wife also needs to attend." How can I attend the banquet tomorrow if I don't bring it back?
After saying that, she carefully looked at the old lady's expression.
The old lady twitched.
No matter how much I hate this daughter-in-law, she dare not disobey the imperial edict.
However, she was unwilling to let that bitch blatantly worship his ancestors and then enter the house in a noble manner!
The hall was silent, and the needles could be heard.
"...The general's departure will take another three or five months. When he thinks that he is going to Qi State, he will go to Qi State, and the road is bumpy. I don't know how many crimes you have to suffer, so the old lady should not care about this." The fourth aunt Fu Xiu said , quietly pulled the third concubine Ma Ruichao.
Marach immediately remembered her words and said, "...That's right, it's not a big deal for the old lady to always twist with the general like this. Although the general came back early this time after hearing your words, he stayed in the mansion for seven or eight days. No one's courtyard has gone, and even the girl you arranged has been driven away elsewhere."
When it comes to this, several concubines hate the old lady in their hearts.
It is obvious that the old lady is eager to see her grandson. She keeps sending her women to Haoranju, but she would rather have her son and grandson than favor the women in the mansion. She just wants to force the old lady to give in and accept Zhen Shiniang through this.
The two of them twisted tightly, but they only suffered. When Chen Zhongqing went out to war, they were alone in the air. They finally waited for their return and had to stay a widow!
But only the fool Mara Rachel dares to say this kind of thing in public!
Yang Lan, Chu Xinyi and others' faces flushed red. Yu Guang quietly looked at the old lady's expression.
The old lady's face became even more gloomy.
Chu Xinyi's eyes flashed, "The fourth sister is right. The lady will also go to the palace to attend a banquet tomorrow. If you live outside the mansion, you will be laughing at me. After all, it is a farewell banquet for the general today, so the old lady will Be patient." Sighing, "...Qi Kingdom is a bitter and cold place. The old lady at least let the general leave comfortably."
"Give her orders, prepare a room for her and bring supper to the room." Seeing everyone looking at her, the old lady ordered with a calm face.
Even if she worshipped her ancestors, she would not have thought she could attend the family banquet at the General's Mansion, nor could she have thought she could have lived in the main room of the General's Mansion!
When I remembered that Zhen Shiniang had lived in the main room last time, the old lady was angry. Chen Zhongqing abides by the rules and insists on treating her as a wife. Then, she is not allowed to be a mother-in-law. The person who came forward to stop it himself.
I don’t believe that Chen Zhongqing dares to rebel against myself!
"... Then prepare the cushion quickly." Ma Ruichao took the opportunity to say, "After the lady enters the door, she must kowtow to the old lady." This is also what Fu Xiu teaches on weekdays. Ruo Lao Ma can accept Zhen Shiniang, Shen The bells and chimes will be happy.
When he was happy, he might be in the mood to take the turn in the yard of each concubine.
Letting Zhen Shiniang enter the General's Mansion today is just a matter of rights and interests, but it does not mean that the old lady can recognize her! As soon as Ma Ruiqiu said, the air suddenly calmed down.
Swhoosh, all the aunts looked at the old lady.
Unexpectedly, the old lady's eyes lit up, "Yes, you should prepare the cushion." She said slowly, "I remembered that the ground was swept away, and there were sand and stones to lick her carefully."
Marach's words reminded her that when the bitch came, she asked her to kneel on the cushion with stones outside the door for two or two hours. Now, thinking about it, it was so cheap that she only had to be turned away last time!
Nicely, the old lady felt a little more anticipated for Zhen Shiniang's arrival.
The old lady was willing to ask Zhen Shiniang to pay her a favor. As for the fact that she suffered a little guilt, it is said that after many years of daughter-in-law become a mother-in-law, not all young daughter-in-laws in any family have been born like this. I believe Chen Zhongqing I didn't mind either. Seeing that the old lady finally smiled and agreed, all the concubines breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere in the hall immediately became lively.
Fu Xiu glanced at Chu Xinyi thoughtfully and said to herself, "She is the one who opposes the wife entering the mansion the most. Why are she helping to say good things today?"
Chu Xinyi hummed coldly in her heart.
Good things?
She won't tell the bitch.
Today, I will not let the old lady tolerate her with great wiseness. Tomorrow, when I find that she has been practicing the magic of the general's house without regard for her dignity, how could the old lady be even more angry?
The old lady lost her mind without being furious, how could she cooperate with the Queen to kill her?
...
After visiting all the ancestors, Chen Zhongxin suggested, "They have prepared lunch on the left and right, go to Taolin for a while." When he was a child, he always came to worship his ancestors. The most memorable thing he remembers is the opposite mountain. The peach forest behind.
Worried that Zhen Shiniang was not good enough, Chen Zhongqing was about to shake her head when she saw Zhen Shiniang looking at the green leaves and red flowers all over the mountains and the eyes were also shining. Unconsciously, her heart moved, "She was in poor health and was always stuck in her ancestral home, I must want to enjoy this beautiful natural scenery more, right? "It will be tiring to use it. He rode a horse and took her with her. I should be fine... I nodded, "Okay."
Chen Zhongxin clapped his hands happily.
The group played until the afternoon before they returned in the carriage.
"...Do you have to eat cold food?" Zhen Shiniang was in a very good mood. Thinking of the cold foods that were prepared at noon were all cold foods such as date cakes and peach blossom porridge, Zhen Shiniang remembered the ancient custom of eating cold food.
In the past, she was in a bad mood at this time of year. Not to mention the hot ones, she didn't want to eat cold, so she never cared about this custom. Today she ran into several families who went out for a trip. They also brought cold food, and Zhen Shiniang suddenly realized that It was discovered that the wealthy families in ancient times really ate cold food this day.
"Not..." Chen Zhongqing shook his head, "It's all a custom passed down, there are no mandatory regulations. Xiao Zhongtang is afraid that there are many people who go out for a walk and sweep the sacrifice. Cooking in the wild is likely to cause wildfires, so I wrote a letter to go to the long live. The fire ban order. The inner houses of nobles all quietly set fires and cooked and lit candles." They smiled and shook their heads, "As long as you don't be too arrogant, you'll be hit by the government."
Zhen Shiniang remembered a poem I had read before. The candles were sent to the Han Palace at dusk, and the light smoke spread into the Wuhou's house. She couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that all dynasties are the same. Only the officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light the lamps. .”
Only officials are allowed to set fires and people are not allowed to light lamps?
This is really appropriate. Chen Zhongqing was stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud.
"General..." Zhen Shiniang screamed softly when she heard a commotion outside the carriage.
This person always does his own things without any scruples. I wonder if there are a lot of people outside?
Chen Zhongqing stopped laughing and looked at Zhen Shiniang, "You are really like this..." Just as he was about to tease her, he saw that her face turned pale and her expression couldn't help but tighten, "Doesn't it feel uncomfortable to eat cold food at noon?"
"But if I get an occasional meal, why are I so spoiled?" Zhen Shiniang smiled and shook her head, "I've been playing for a whole day and I'm a little tired?" She got up early in the morning and played for a whole day, so how could she bear it?
It was her strong physique in her previous life. She went out to swim with her colleagues for a day and was so tired that she lay on the bed and stood up straight. What's more, her body fell like when the wind blew in this life. If it weren't for the bells and chimes everywhere, she would either hold her or hold her. She was probably paralyzed long ago when she was riding a horse.
Chen Zhongqing held her over without thinking, and asked Zhen Shiniang to lean her head against her chest, "You close your eyes and take care of yourself first, and you will get hot soup and rice when you arrive in the mansion..."
"General..." Zhen Shiniang struggled to get up, "Second Master and the others are all outside."
"What are you afraid of?"
Chen Zhongqing frowned.
Isn't there a car curtain blocking it?
As he was talking, the carriage stopped with a squeak, and Zhen Shiniang stood up straight.
"What's the matter?" Chen Zhongqing picked up the curtain of the car.
"I'm here to go to the capital." Rongsheng went up and replied, "There are too many people entering the city, and there are queues."
Zhen Shiniang looked up.
The traffic ahead was flowing hundreds of feet out, and there were people who came back from outings, and the car was neighing. Occasionally, there were hawkers passing by the abortion, shouting at the top of their throats, which was very lively.
When Zhen Shiniang thought of entering the city and entering the general's mansion, she trembled for no reason.
The ugly daughter-in-law is about to meet her parents-in-law again. I wonder if the old lady will turn her off this time like last time?
Thinking of the experience of driving her out of the mansion late at night on the Lantern Festival, Zhen Shiniang's lips moved a few times, and she wanted to ask Chen Zhongqing to let her go to the Zhongtang Mansion. Mrs. Xiao was the mother she kowtowed and recognized, and her daughter It was understandable to go back to his parents' home. Then he thought of Chen Zhongqing's extraordinary machismo and Xiao Yu's identity as a widower. He turned his words a few times on his lips and swallowed them back.
With the bells and chimes present, he would never let her go to Zhongtang Mansion for no reason to spend the night.
After calming down, Zhen Shiniang sighed faintly, Chen Zhongqing served his mother with great filial piety. Since she decided to rely on him, no matter how difficult it was, she had to have a good relationship with the old lady. Only when the relationship with the old lady eased, she would Only by obtaining more support from Chen Zhongqing can we gain more benefits for Jian Wu and Jian Wen.
