Chapter 38: The Bride Serves Tea, But Finds Faults Again
After listening to Tian's mother's words, Yun Qinghe's face was still terrifyingly gloomy.
She never thought that her daughter-in-law, whom she fell in love with at first sight, would not fall in love with her on their wedding night.
To put it another way, it means that Sheng Luoan had already made a private lifelong commitment to someone else before she married into the Gong family!
The more Yun Qinghe thought about it, the angrier she became. She raised her head and glanced at Tian's mother, and asked in a deep voice: "This matter is related to the reputation of the Gong family and my son. Do I have to let it go?"
Tian's mother quickly explained: "Madam, I definitely can't ignore it, but I can't ignore it now!"
"You also know that if this matter is made public, it will definitely affect the reputation of the Gong family. In the current situation, if the Marquis does not speak, Madam will leave it alone for the time being. After all, the Marquis is a careful person."
As Tian's mother said, she glanced at Yun Qinghe's expression, and after making sure her expression had softened a bit, she said tentatively: "Madam, the young lady is having a meal at the moment, and today is the first time that the new daughter-in-law serves tea to her mother-in-law.
, if you arrive late, you will be the most likely to be criticized. If not, people will say that the madam is trying to embarrass the new daughter-in-law. If word spreads about this, it will not look good!"
Although Yun Qinghe's expression softened somewhat, it was still tense.
But with a few words from Jingtian's mother, she already had an idea in her mind.
After drinking some porridge, Yun Qinghe had calmed down.
Seeing this, Tian's mother increased her tone and tried to persuade her, "Madam, you also know that if this matter gets out, the gossips behind you will take the opportunity to cause trouble!"
Yun Qinghe raised her eyes slightly, and she naturally knew exactly who Tian's mother meant by gossiping.
Besides the people in the second room, who else could be there?
Thinking of this, Yun Qinghe felt more enlightened.
She glanced at Tian's mother gratefully, then quickly lowered her head and started drinking porridge.
I wanted to rush to the front hall before the second room, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late.
When she entered, she saw Mr. Gong already sitting in the main seat.
The father and son in the second room were already sitting neatly on the right side.
Gong Shaofeng didn't know what he said to the old man, but when he saw the old man Gong smiled happily, he praised her repeatedly: "Feng'er still has a good heart. If you know me, I will do this."
Yun Qinghe looked over and saw a food box on the table next to Miyagi Jun.
She recognized at a glance that the food box was the unique octagonal food box of "Yunshangzhai".
Yun Qinghe felt relieved.
This Gong Shaofeng really went to great lengths to please Miyagi Jun!
You must know that this "Yunshangzhai" is known as the No. 1 pastry shop in Jizhou.
It is said that the shopkeeper of Yunshangzhai is the royal chef who came from the palace.
In addition to their high prices, their pastries are extremely expensive and hard to buy even if you have money.
Moreover, the daily quantity is limited, and reservations are not accepted. You have to get up early and queue up to buy it.
It's so early now, Gong Shaofeng has already put Yun Shangzhai's pastries on the table, and he's probably queuing up before dawn.
No wonder the old man smiled so happily.
Seeing Yun Qinghe come in, Miyagi suppressed the smile on his face and cast a meaningful glance at Yun Qinghe.
The meaning is self-evident, but I just want to say that as the head matron of the Gong family, she is not as thoughtful as Gong Shaofeng.
However, at this time, Yun Qinghe was still worried about the handkerchief and ignored Miyagi Jun's eyes.
Not bothering to talk nonsense with Miyagi Jun, after saying hello, he went straight to the seat on the right.
Not long after, a maid came outside the door and said that the new daughter-in-law was waiting outside.
Hearing this, Yun Qinghe subconsciously looked towards the door, then thought of something and quickly turned his face back.
After Sheng Luoan came in alone, he was the first to notice something strange about Yun Qinghe.
She was still wondering in her heart when she had offended this free and easy mother-in-law, when she heard the superior Miyagi Jun asked in a deep voice: "Why, the people in the eldest house don't treat me at all?"
Do you take it seriously? According to the rule passed down from our ancestors, the new daughter-in-law must serve tea to the elders, but he did a good job and actually avoided showing up!"
Yun Qinghe, who didn't want to speak at all, spoke immediately when he heard Miyagi Jun pointed the finger at Gong Moye.
"Ye'er sent someone to tell me this morning. After drinking wine at the banquet yesterday, I got sick again this morning, so I can't come. Please don't blame me!"
When Yun Qinghe said this, although there was worry between her eyebrows, she never looked like a mother who was worried to death when she heard that her son was sick.
It was as if Gong Moye's illness had become a normal thing for her.
"Oh? Such a coincidence? But it happened today? I think he was afraid that I would let him manage the family property, so he found an excuse to avoid it, right?"
Mr. Gong was obviously very dissatisfied with Yun Qinghe's rhetoric and rebutted mercilessly.
Gong Shaofeng and Gong Jingzhi, who were sitting next to them, had strange expressions on their faces when they heard the old man mentioning the family's property and Gong Moye together.
Gong Jingzhi rarely helped to speak: "Father, Ye'er has been bleeding every now and then since he was injured. What my sister-in-law said should be true. Besides, even if Ye'er is in good health, he is a warrior and has never been involved in the family's business.
Father, it’s better not to embarrass him."
Sheng Luo'an on the side: They just said that there was a hidden disease, and they just came to draw blood. I'm afraid they have said everything in their heart, right?
What a black-hearted family!
Gong Shaofeng also hurriedly answered: "Yes, grandfather, the most annoying thing for my eldest brother since he was a child is looking at the accounts. He has been fighting for many years, and now he is seriously injured and needs to take a good rest. What does grandfather have?
Just give Feng'er your orders for the work."
Hearing his favorite grandson speaking to comfort him, Mr. Gong's expression suddenly softened a lot.
With a happy smile hidden in the corner of his mouth, he said: "Feng'er will take care of my grandfather's worries. If the shops you have are still busy, my grandfather will leave the jade shop on East Street to you.
"
When Gong Shaofeng and Gong Jing heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. They thanked him repeatedly and said many words of determination.
During this period, the two of them even glanced gratefully at Sheng Luoan, who had been silent since entering the door.
I thought happily: As soon as Sheng Luoan came in, he brought great good things to their second room. It seems that they chose the right person!
You know, the jade shop under the name of Gongfu is the leader in monopolizing the entire Jizhou.
Being able to hold the jade shop in your hands is equivalent to holding half of the Gong family's industry!
But having said that, now that they think about the scene of worshiping yesterday, they are still a little scared.
Originally, they carefully planned for Sheng Luoan to marry Gong Moye because they took a fancy to Sheng Luoan's weak and tolerant temperament in the Sheng Mansion.
But yesterday, they actually saw with their own eyes that Sheng Luoan's temper was so aggressive.
Able to cut through the chaos with a sharp knife and suppress the noisy guests.
In the end, he was reduced to blocking the drinking for his eldest brother all night, which made him drunk to the point of death.
Thinking of this, Gong Shaofeng couldn't help but take a deep look at Sheng Luoan's calm and quiet face.
I thought to myself: It seems that yesterday's scene was just an accident. They were not wrong. This Sheng Luoan has a weak and easy-to-be-deceited character!
On this side, Sheng Luoan had been standing there for a long time after he walked in.
But seeing that Miyagi Jun was only talking to Gong Shaofeng and his son, he had no intention of letting her serve tea.
From the looks of it, he was deliberately trying to keep her dry!
What's even more strange is that her mother-in-law, who showed some affection for her last time, didn't speak for her today.
Strange, so strange!
Thinking of this, Sheng Luoan directly interrupted Miyagi Jun's conversation and asked impatiently: "Grandpa, can my granddaughter-in-law start serving tea?"
Miyagi Jun's expression changed, and he glanced at Sheng Luoan displeased.
After all, he was an old man who was favored in the house, and his face must have looked bad when Sheng Luoan suddenly interrupted his conversation.
He immediately asked sternly: "What? Are you as ill as your husband?"
Sheng Luoan raised his head and replied with a neither humble nor arrogant smile: "That's not true, it's just that I have been standing here for a long time and my legs are a little sore and tired. I thought that after serving tea early, my granddaughter-in-law can also sit down."
The implication is: You are all sitting, and I am the only one standing. How can I not have sore legs?
Yun Qinghe glanced at Sheng Luoan subconsciously, and was about to speak to help her out.
Then I thought about the veil. I felt angry and suppressed the words I was about to say.
After hearing Sheng Luoan's disrespectful words, Mr. Gong's already disgusted expression became even more obvious.
But in the Sheng family, he had witnessed with his own eyes Sheng Luoan forcing her father to give Sheng Keqing some family law, and he didn't want to get into trouble with this bitch.
Therefore, he had no choice but to turn his finger on Yun Qinghe:
"When a new daughter-in-law comes in, as a mother-in-law, haven't you clearly explained the rules of the Marquis' residence to her?"
Yun Qinghe was in a state of confusion today, obviously out of shape, mumbling but not knowing what to say.
Gong Shaofeng, on the other hand, was afraid that Mr. Gong would drive Sheng Luoan out, so he quickly helped: "Grandpa, my grandson heard that my sister-in-law was always docile and polite when she was in the Sheng Mansion. Maybe she is new to the Gong family and has not yet
That's why I got used to it, so I said something rude. Sister-in-law, am I right?"
Gong Shaofeng said while winking at Sheng Luoan.
Sheng Luo Anruo heard this and said directly to the old man: "Grandpa, you have misunderstood your mother-in-law. After your grandson's daughter-in-law came in yesterday, her mother-in-law told her a lot about the rules of the Hou Mansion, but her daughter-in-law was stupid and didn't remember any of them.
Come down!"
When Yun Qinghe saw Sheng Luoan taking the initiative to excuse her, the knot in her heart felt as if someone had gently pulled a thread away.
She followed Sheng Luoan's words and said proactively: "Father, my wife knows that Ye'er is not as understanding as Feng'er when you are angry with you, and she will never go to Yunshangzhai to queue up to buy something for you like Feng'er did before dawn.
Pastry, but today, Ye'er does have something important to do, and I didn't mean to avoid offering you tea!"
"Besides, look at Luo An, this kid has been standing here for a long time. How about we have Luo An's tea first? When Ye'er comes back, I will ask him to bring his wife over in person and serve tea to my father-in-law again."
good?"
Yun Qinghe said it sincerely, and Miyagi Jun's expression immediately softened.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to say, "Let's start serving tea," the words had not yet come out of his mouth.
