The one who spoke was Princess Jiahe. She was wearing a bright red dress today, followed by a large group of maids. The jewelry on her head was a bit too gorgeous compared to ordinary ones.
If Qiao Yuyan and Wen Tingyuan hadn't walked together, people who didn't know would probably regard her as the bride of the family.
What she said was actually a bit inappropriate. Even though many people would habitually make fun of a new young daughter-in-law.
But even if Princess Jiahe entered the family earlier than Qiao Yuyan, she is still a junior.
It is a bit disrespectful for the younger generation to make fun of their elders like this.
But Qiao Yuyan didn't say anything, she just looked at Wen Tingyuan with a bit of embarrassment, trying her best to act as shy as a young daughter-in-law should be.
I originally expected Wen Tingyuan to say something, but unexpectedly he just nodded gently and took Qiao Yuyan in.
It wasn't too late when I arrived, but there were already many people in the room.
When they saw her coming, they all looked up and down with smiles on their faces.
If she were really a new daughter-in-law, she would definitely feel uncomfortable facing so many looks like this, and her face would immediately swell with embarrassment.
But there was nothing wrong with Qiao Yuyan and Wen Tingyuan last night, and it was not the first time she had experienced such a thing, so she seemed extremely calm.
First, Wen Tingyuan followed him and gave a grand salute to Mrs. Wen.
Old Mrs. Wen's reaction was impeccable, and she very politely asked someone to help them up, "Young couple, we are newlyweds. We should have slept more, but why are we here so early?"
Of course, these were polite words, and Qiao Yuyan had no choice but to respond with the same kind words, "Old lady, it's your sympathy as an elder to ask me to rest more.
If we are really so ignorant of etiquette, it would be against our family's duty to pass on poetry and etiquette. What's more, my daughter-in-law also wants to show her filial piety in front of her mother-in-law, so she can't wait to come here as soon as possible!"
Even though she knew that these were just words for the occasion, with so many family members here, Old Mrs. Wen still felt very useful to Qiao Yuyan's words.
On the other hand, Wen Tingyuan couldn't help but look at Qiao Yuyan a few more times, his eyes gloomy.
Next, Mrs. Wen and the two elderly nuns in front guided Qiao Yuyan and Wen Tingyuan to kowtow and serve tea to Mrs. Wen.
Naturally, there was another exchange of words of encouragement and flattery, and when the tea was over, Mrs. Wen gave each of them a big red envelope.
"Come," when the two of them stood up, Mrs. Wen waved to a young daughter-in-law.
Qiao Yuyan recognized her at a glance, the eldest daughter-in-law of the second wife - Mrs. Chu.
She is a shrewd and neat woman, and her second wife is far away, but the idea of placing such a shrewd and cheerful daughter-in-law in the Wen family's inner house is actually very clear.
What's the matter? You can't go around the second room.
Moreover, this Chu family member is also smart and can be regarded as the most liked by the old lady among her grandchildren's wives.
"Old lady." Madam Chu stepped forward with a smile and saluted Old Madam Wen.
The old lady smiled and pointed at her and said to Qiao Yuyan: "This is your eldest nephew's wife, her name is Pinting. You are about the same grade. We will definitely talk to each other in the future. There are many people today. I'm afraid you will be confused about the acknowledgment.
Let her take you."
Qiao An quickly thanked her, and then she followed the Chu family all the way to recognize their relatives.
Originally, the Wen family only had many adults, but now it is not just the main Wen family, but also the branches of the Wen family.
Counting the current concubines in the palace, they are actually the daughter of the second wife, but there are no promising people from the second wife now.
Because of the interests in the palace, the two families naturally have to be closely dependent on each other.
Even if we separate our families, we still have to stay together for this important matter.
There is also the third wife. Even if they are now in decline, it is impossible for the Wen family to do such a thing as disliking the poor and loving the rich.
So there was really a room full of people sitting here.
Those who are senior to her should receive gifts, while those who are junior to her should give gifts.
In her previous life, Qiao Yuyan never expected that there would be so many people, and Mrs. Wen and Wen Liang did not warn her in advance, leaving her in a hurry.
There were so many juniors down there, so on Chinese Valentine's Day, I had no choice but to secretly take the gifts I had just received and exchange them into purses to send them out.
As a result, she was discovered and made a big fuss. Mrs. Wen didn't give her a good look for a whole month.
This time Qiao Yuyan came prepared, and Pinlan and Qixi followed her, methodically and thoughtfully.
Mrs. Chu seemed a little surprised, but after being surprised for a moment, she pretended not to care.
But other people could not help but show admiration. An elderly uncle and aunt smiled and said to the old lady, "Sister-in-law, you are so blessed. Now you have married a capable daughter-in-law. Your family will be happy in the future."
It seems that it is becoming more and more prosperous."
Old Mrs. Wen seemed to be very surprised by Qiao Yuyan's exquisiteness. Her mood was a little complicated for a moment, but the expression on her face was that of Yourong, "Younger, don't praise her too much. It's only her first day! I'll wait for her in the future."
Honor you all."
Nearly an hour had passed since the recognition of relatives, and Pinlan and Qixi's trays were also filled with things.
Old Mrs. Wen looked at him and his wife, nodded slightly, and then said: "After we have confirmed our marriage here, you can also go to the ancestral hall to pay your respects! Your father should be happy to know that you have a family now."
Even though he said this, Qiao Yuyan still keenly felt the disgust in Mrs. Wen's eyes.
It seems that all this is just forbearance. In Mrs. Wen's heart, the incident back then has never passed.
This time, Mrs. Wen was leading the way, and beside her was the most important old lady in front of Mrs. Wen. Just now, everyone in the audience called her Aunt Xin.
Qiao Yuyan and Wen Tingyuan followed them to the ancestral hall.
The Wen family's ancestral hall is similar in size to the Qiao family's ancestral hall. It is the same as the ancestral halls of the same family. There are several cypress trees planted in the yard, which inexplicably shows a somewhat melancholy atmosphere.
Mrs. Wen gave them a brief introduction to the memorial tablets above, and then she knelt down on the futon and offered a stick of incense to inform the ancestors of their recommendation.
Then Wen Tingyuan and Qiao Yuyan knelt down on the futon to salute. The two of them took the incense sticks next to them and lit them on the burning candles.
But for some reason, neither of them could light the incense.
The two people looked at each other, placed it on the candle again, and then took it out, but it was still not lit.
Mrs. Wen frowned, "Who is in charge of tying incense and paper in this ancestral hall? You don't even know if the incense gets damp?"
Qiao Yuyan and Wen Tingyuan did not answer. They both made the same move, lighting incense again, and this time they both stayed longer.
If the incense is damp, it will dry up after being burned by fire.
But when they removed the incense sticks from the candles, not only did the two incense sticks not burn, not even a trace of smoke came out.
Wen Tingyuan turned the incense upside down, looked at it carefully, and sneered, "This incense has been tampered with."
