Chapter 216: A Happy Event in the Qi Family
Without giving Yu Zhu much time to think about things, the Qi family's happy event arrived in a few days.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Xie took Yu Zhu and Mrs. Ji out of the house, and slowly stopped in front of the hanging flower gate of the Duke of Qi's Mansion amidst the busy sounds of carriages and horses.
The mother in charge had already gone to report to the aunts of the Qi family who were welcoming the guests. As soon as they got off the station and made their reservations, they saw a young woman wearing a jasper-red red trousers with branches of Qianye and Begonia flowers and brocade to greet them.
Come up.
"Thank you, madam, you are here." The eldest daughter-in-law and eldest grandson-in-law of each family are carefully selected, and the eldest daughter-in-law is no exception. She has broad eyebrows, a gentle tone of voice, and a noble demeanor.
She half-crouched and curtsied to Mr. Xie, before saying anything she smiled and said, "My old lady has said this to me several times."
Ms. Xie was very kind to Qi Big Breast. She let her help her and said with a smile, "We haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so eloquent. No wonder your mother-in-law likes it."
Grandma Qi smiled heartily, "Stop praising me. If the blush on your face doesn't go away after I go in, what will happen?"
Just looking at this happy and harmonious appearance, it is impossible to tell that the two families were still estranged from each other.
"This is my second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin." Mrs. Xie pointed to Yuzhu and then to Mrs. Ji, "...the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ji."
Just to recognize faces, the Qi family must know that Cheng Xunxun married the daughter of the Lin family, but no one went to the wedding day...
After everyone had bowed to each other, Grandma Qi personally helped Ms.
The grandeur of the Duke of Qi's Mansion is no smaller than that of the Duke of Cheng, and is even much more exquisite. The large and small courtyards are nested together, and there is a two-story back building surrounding the ridge. The pillars are carved with pines, cranes, cypresses and deer, and there are exquisitely crafted details under the eaves.
The carved brackets and heads, and occasionally Su-style colorful paintings, painted with powder and gilded, look like brocade.
Coupled with the bright red wedding silk and exquisite tie flowers that can be seen everywhere, people have to say: it is a rich and good place.
After walking through the long corridor and turning a few more turns, we arrived at Baoguang Hall, where the Duke and Mrs. Qi lived.
Aunt Qi went to raise the curtain herself and invited Mrs. Xie and others to come into the house.
A bright red curtain was hung in the room, and a carpet of flying flowers, phoenixes, and peonies was spread. On the high table in the corner was a small hollowed-out Hetian green and white jade mandarin. In the Ru kiln flower goblet were inserted large red roses cultivated in the greenhouse, four-season begonias, and
The bright red curtains complement each other, bringing joy and vitality.
Wen, the Duke of Qi's wife, wore a bright red t-shirt inlaid with autumn fragrance and gold embroidered with rattan patterns. She sat upright with a smile and talked to an old lady with gray hair.
There are sixteen nanmu armchairs in two rows on the ground floor, all covered with bright red elastic flower chair cloths. On the high table on the side are tea cups, vase and flowers - all the people sitting are older ladies, with bead rings and jade rings, and brocade clothes and colorful forged clothes.
The young women and ladies were sitting around the elders, chatting and laughing, it was very lively.
There were also several maids who had changed into green spring shirts and walked lightly among the female family members, refilling tea, serving snacks, and changing dishes. The room was filled with a festive and lively atmosphere.
Seeing Ms. Xie and his entourage come in, the bustle in the room paused for a moment. Yu Zhu sensitively felt their surprise, but not long after, everyone sitting there got up and came over to greet them.
Yu Zhu was well prepared. As soon as Mr. Xie introduced him, he immediately knelt down and bowed politely to everyone.
The princes and ladies all looked at each other, and they never interfered if they were unclear about the situation. After some pleasantries, they went back to talk to each other, but their eyes would glance here from time to time.
Mrs. Wen praised Ji and Yuzhu with a smile, and invited Mrs. Xie to sit on it. She was very considerate and kind and ordered the maid to bring a soft stool to take care of Yuzhu, who was twin.
The discord between the two families.
Mother Ruan helped Yu Zhu sit down, and suddenly leaned into Yu Zhu's ear and whispered, "...the third grandma of the Chen family."
Yu Zhu followed her gaze and saw that it was Grandma Chen San who was grinning at him.
But it's not going to be easy for her right now...
Suddenly, he saw the sixth Miss Chu Huixian, who was following a tall and thin lady, and suddenly felt dizzy again.
They agreed to pretend to be sick, Yu Zhu lamented, and immediately drooped his head, looking like he was seriously injured...
I don't know if it's too late.
Over there, Mrs. Chen glanced helplessly at the young daughter-in-law who was jumping away, whispered a few instructions, and then saw Grandma Chen San walking over happily.
"Oh, are you pregnant?"
Grandma Chen San was not polite and would look at Yu Zhu's belly without anyone paying attention.
"Is it that obvious?" Yu Zhu reached out and touched it. It was obvious that it was only slightly raised, and the waistline of her clothes was relaxed and much looser. It could not be seen anywhere.
"You can see if you have eyes." Grandma Chen San rolled her eyes and muttered, "Why are you here to join in the fun? If I were like you, I would stay in the courtyard all day long."
Yu Zhu explained, "It's okay, we're all settled now." Then he laughed at her, "You can have a baby if you want, no one can stop you."
After getting to know this sharp-tempered woman, Yu Zhu dared to make fun of her.
"Oh, don't mention it." *** Chen San's eyes were full of frustration, "Do you know why I haven't gone out these days?"
Yu Zhu was startled by her rare depression, stopped smiling and asked her, "What happened?"
Grandma Chen San felt coy for a while, then suddenly moved closer to Yu Zhu and whispered in her ear, "How did you get pregnant with the child?"
Yu Zhu almost didn't swallow his own saliva, coughed twice, and whispered seriously, "...I don't know."
Oh my god, this one is also wearing clothes, right? She dares to ask such a shocking question? Of course she... knows, but do you really want her to popularize physiological knowledge?
Or just say, honey, what about your man... is that okay? Or, as some novels say, you got into the wrong company?
While you can still control it, rush away those strange thoughts.
Seeing Yu Zhu's embarrassed look, Grandma Chen San curled her lips, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and cracked them slowly in her hand, "What's there to be embarrassed about? It's pretentious."
Yu Zhu was almost in tears, unable to argue with her, so she could only complain silently in her heart.
Grandma Chen San finished eating a handful of melon seeds, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and came over again, wondering, "Why did your mother-in-law suddenly get better with Mrs. Qi Guogong?"
It’s not surprising that she was surprised. Back then, the Qi family and the Cheng family were so affectionate, but later they became so strangely indifferent. Many families in Beijing could more or less sense that something was wrong. Although Grandma Chen San was not in the capital when she was a child, she must have been there later.
Hearing some rumors, given her gossipy nature, it would be strange not to be curious.
But Yuzhu really didn't know about this, Yunxiang's collusion with the nun, and the scandals between Aunt Song and Aunt Chen, Xie would definitely not make it public, so she would definitely have to make up a story, not only to expose the Cheng family's relationship with Fourth Miss Qi
To be able to completely escape from the incident without involving some inconvenient details...
Yu Zhu glanced at Ji who was standing not far away talking and laughing with her mother-in-law, swallowed her saliva, and said innocently: "I really don't know about this."
Grandma Chen San looked her up and down, a little suspicious, "I'll tell you everything, don't hide it from me... Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"...Why is it so secretive?" Just as he was talking, a sudden interjection startled both of them.
Yu Zhu took a closer look and saw that it was Chu Huixian.
"Miss Six."
Before she could say anything, Grandma Chen San had already said hello.
Yu Zhu looked at Grandma Chen San, and then at Chu Huixian. One was the granddaughter of the He family, and the other was the granddaughter of the He family. The relationship between cousins was not close at all.
"Cousin, don't you remember me? I'm Hui Xian." Chu Huixian smiled generously and took Chen San's hand affectionately.
On the other hand, the person who was holding hands looked uncomfortable, and stood there with his arms stiff.
Sure enough, he is the material to enter the palace.
"...Seeing that my eldest cousin and the master are chatting happily here, I can't help it." Chu Huixian smiled mischievously, stuck out the tip of her pink tongue, and suddenly looked at Yu Zhu nervously, "Don't you
Do you mind becoming my master? Although Xian'er has only listened to the teaching once, she has already regarded you as her master in her heart."
Yu Zhu pouted, and raised her small and delicate chin slightly, "Master? I don't want to be a master. The masters I have had since I was a child are so old... Calling me a master makes people call me old."
Although being a little close to the current emperor is a very good thing, the success is only limited to one's own heart. If anyone wants to use this relationship to gain success on his own, that is absolutely impossible.
Chu Huixian also knew that this light was not so easy to get rid of. She was prepared for Yu Zhu to shirk his lack of ability, but she didn't expect that she directly disliked it. Instead, the basket of words she prepared was useless.
, rolled it around his mouth a few times, and had to swallow it unwillingly.
Grandma Chen San almost laughed. She was the most impatient to be with this cousin. She remembered that when she first came to Beijing, she was full of country spirit. Although Chu Huixian did not laugh at her, but that look in her eyes, that kind of
The gesture was deeply remembered in her mind, as she was particularly sensitive to people's scents.
Nowadays, as she gets older, Priscilla Chu's moral character is much deeper than that then - I think the Chu family put a lot of effort into sending her to the palace, and even deliberately suppressed her marriage.
But the impression was there, which really made her unable to think about getting close to him.
In the midst of embarrassment, a little maid came in and reported, "The bride-to-be is here."
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and Wen Shi smiled and said, "When is this? Why are you here so early?"
Immediately below, a lady smiled and said, "It's no wonder the old lady's granddaughter is so rare. No wonder she came to pick her up early."
Grandma Chen San whispered, "Every time I go to a wedding banquet with my mother-in-law, I hear these words..."
Yu Zhu laughed, thinking that the banquet was about to start, so he tugged on her sleeves, and called Mrs. Ji to go to Mrs. Xie, and finally did not forget to say goodbye to Chu Huixian.
Instead of taking advantage of her, it would be better to work hard on her virtues, words, appearance, and skills, or to organize things in the palace. She doesn’t want to get involved with the harem inexplicably. (To be continued. If you like this work
