Zhang San wore a new dress today and was neatly dressed from head to toe. He looked handsome and energetic. He had a few servants with him. They had been guarding the door of the house since the master left. If there was any disturbance, he would go to the street.
Looking around.
It's a pity that the traffic on Yongjia Street is mostly driven by servants from various houses. Even the lady from Guining next door left and her masters didn't come back.
The boy was a servant of the Cui family. He was very puzzled by the manager's behavior and asked: "Manager Zhang, it's not like my husband and wife have never been here before. Why are you so nervous?"
"You don't understand."
Zhang San straightened his clothes and said: "This year, not only the in-laws and my wife will come, but also other family members of the lady. As the face of the Cui Mansion, we naturally have to give face to the lady."
In order not to ruin Ye Zhenzhen's good mood, Cui Weizhen did not inform her of these troublesome matters in advance, but Zhang San had to arrange for his servants to prepare the dust-washing banquet and accommodation in advance, so he knew exactly who was coming.
As an old man who has been following his master's wife since Linyang Mansion, he is very aware of the strange relatives in his wife's natal family. Naturally, he wants to raise the cards of Cui Mansion. It is best to suppress the arrogance of those people to avoid being arrogant in the future.
blessing.
The servants didn't know what was going on. Although they were still two-foot-tall monks who couldn't figure it out, they couldn't help but straighten their backs and straighten their backs when they saw Mr. Zhang's serious attitude.
Awesome.
Not long after, the clatter of horse hoofs finally sounded. Zhang San stretched his neck and looked around. When he saw the red cloud BMW that his master was familiar with, he finally became excited: "It's coming! It's coming! The masters are back!"
The young men around him winked and took the lead to greet him: "We sincerely welcome the master back to the house, and we sincerely welcome the in-laws and ladies to come."
Behind him, the boys responded in unison. This uniform greeting not only shocked Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen, but also Ye Boshan and others in the carriage couldn't help but murmur to themselves, they are indeed worthy of being from aristocratic family.
The rules of Cui Mansion, a famous family, are indeed extraordinary.
Before I even got out of the car, I had stage fright for three minutes.
Cui Weizhen belatedly saw through Zhang San's trick, but he didn't expose it. He jumped off the horse, threw the whip away, and said "take good care of you". In a blink of an eye, he was in front of the last carriage.
He personally helped his wife get out of the carriage.
When Zhang San received his master's approval, he immediately became energetic. He handed over the riding whip and Hongyun's reins to the young men, and immediately ordered the remaining young men to welcome all the relatives to get off the carriage. He was always orderly and generous, showing everyone's style.
Ye Boshan and others got off the carriage and saw the vast and majestic mansion. They suddenly took a breath and felt that the high-hanging gilt-gold plaque was shining in the sun. It was solemn and majestic, and it was overwhelming.
Get angry.
Zhang San seemed unaware and introduced calmly: "Master, this is where our master settled in the capital. Living next to Cui Mansion are all dignitaries in the court. On the left is the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, and on the right is Feng Shang.
Shu Mansion, opposite this house that occupies most of the street, is the residence of the current princess, Princess Ningyang."
There were bursts of inhaling sounds. Li Erniang nervously grabbed Ye Boshan's sleeves, looked at the princess mansion opposite with fear and admiration, with green tiles and red eaves, and said with a bit of breath: "I'm a good boy, the head of the family, princess empress."
The mansion! Our eldest daughter actually became a neighbor with the princess!"
Ye Shiming and Li Cuier's family have been shocked speechless by this series of well-known neighbors. They are as quiet as quails, but they can't hide the envy and yearning on their faces. The heat in their eyes can almost burn people.
.
Ye Boshan was also shocked, but he still tried his best to maintain his bearing as the head of the family: "What's all the fuss about? The eldest grandson-in-law is a promising minister of household affairs and the son of a noble family. It's normal to be next to the princess.
Already."
Just as he was talking, there was suddenly a chaotic sound of horse hooves in the street, a flag was waving in the distance, and the sound of a woman riding a horse and singing loudly came. Zhang San quickly reminded everyone in the Ye family who was already stunned: "My dear gentlemen, hurry up.
Give way, Princess Ningyang is back from hunting."
Ye Boshan, who had always maintained everyone's paternal demeanor, finally panicked and asked quickly: "Here, here, the princess has arrived, how can we greet her? Do we have to kneel down?"
Before the question came out, there was a pop, and Li Cuier, who was behind, had already imitated the performance on the stage, knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted: "Welcome to the princess, she may live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
"
Zhang San was okay, but the servants of the Cui Mansion were all dumbfounded. They didn't expect the Madam's natal family to be so virtuous - how could the Madam, who looked like a lady, have a family that didn't understand etiquette?
Ye Shiming was also a scholar, so he knew etiquette. He immediately blushed and quickly brought up his wife, who had caused him great loss of face.
Seriously? If you don’t understand, just follow my sister-in-law’s example and don’t lose the face of the second wife.”
Li Cuier was ashamed and embarrassed. She felt that everyone around her was laughing at her for being vulgar. Even her two sons cast dissatisfied looks at her. She was at a loss for a moment and wanted to dig into a crack in the ground and burrow down——
If she were in the countryside, she would be willing to fight Ye Shiming to the death, but when she came to the capital, she became short of breath for no reason. She didn't even dare to take a breath. She felt inferior and timid, as if she had secretly worn a fancy dress.
Like a beggar, he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Except for a few members of the Ye family who were worried about Li Cuier's embarrassment, no one else cared. Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen just glanced at it and hurriedly stepped forward to pay tribute to Princess Ningyang.
When Princess Ningyang saw the couple, she got off the horse out of shame. She glanced at the large family behind them and immediately understood: "Oh, Zhen Niang, it's your mother's family who came to Beijing. Finally, Peng Peng got married in time.
If you arrive earlier, you will have one less thing to worry about."
Ye Zhenzhen cupped her hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for your highness's great fortune, don't forget to come to my house for a wedding drink in the future."
"It's natural."
Princess Ningyang smiled and waved her servant to bring a roe deer: "This is the roe deer I just hunted. I took it back and cooked it. It is also my way of celebrating your family's arrival in Beijing."
Cui Weizhen asked Zhang San to take the roe deer and thanked Princess Ningyang. Princess Ningyang waved her hand and looked at the crowd behind them. She saw Ye Pengpeng and Huwa standing with a man and a woman.
Those were Ye Zhenzhen's parents. They nodded to them kindly, then jumped on the horse again and led a group of guards into the princess' mansion.
Ye Dayong and Aunt Ye did not expect that the princess would actually greet them, and their faces turned red with excitement. The eyes of the rest of the Ye family were full of envy, jealousy and disbelief, and they looked at Ye Zhenzhen in an increasingly different way.
Is this woman chatting and laughing happily with the princess really their eldest daughter?
The Ye family is indeed rich and prosperous, and the ancestral graves are filled with smoke!
