The next day, when the first ray of rays of light had just risen in the east, Young Master Liu was pulled out of bed by the third princess Li Yan who had finished washing.
"Husband, get up soon. It will be bright soon. Chengzhi and Jingyao should come back from the palace to serve us tea."
Liu Mingzhi sat up from the bed lazily, rubbed the dirt in the corners of his eyes and turned to look out the window.
Sure enough, the moon was setting and the sun was rising outside the house, and some of the morning sun was already showing on the horizon.
"Get up, husband, get up now. Yan'er, go to your room first and find some looser clothes for your husband. You can put them on after your husband has finished washing."
The third princess nodded dignifiedly, stood up and walked out of the study. She did not forget to turn around and explain before going out.
"Husband, I will go get your clothes right now. I have prepared all the toiletries for you. Please get up and wash up quickly. Stop being lazy."
"I know, I know."
Listening to the footsteps of the third princess getting further away, Young Master Liu stretched himself out of bed and sat up. He stood up and walked towards the toiletries that the beauty had prepared by the desk.
It was about time after the tea was made that Young Master Liu had just spit out the mouthwash in his mouth, and the soft voice of the third princess sounded in the study.
"Husband, I have brought your change of clothes. Have you washed up?"
"Yan'er, you came at the right time. My husband has just finished taking a shower."
Liu Mingzhi responded softly, picked up a dry towel and wiped the water on his face and walked towards the third princess standing behind the door.
"Oh! My husband thought that after finishing their wedding, he could just be lazy! But after finishing his work yesterday, he still had to get up early in the morning to deal with it today."
The third princess looked at her husband's sighing and helpless expression, smiled and shook her head, raised the light blue Confucian robe in her hand, and served Young Master Liu to put it on.
"You, you are already a father-in-law, how can you still think about being lazy? Children can only serve tea a few times in their lives, so you should be a little tired."
As she spoke, the third princess had already put all the clothes neatly on for her husband, and finally put the jade pendant on Young Master Liu's waist. After that, the third princess looked up and down at Young Master Liu and checked again and again.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong, the third princess nodded her head with satisfaction.
"Okay, I'm dressed up now. Husband, let's go to the main hall quickly. I guess Sister Yun and Sister Ya have already been there for a long time."
"Okay, let's go to the main hall and wait for tea."
The third princess had really predicted it. By the time Young Master Liu and the others arrived at the main hall, Qi Yun and the other beauties were already sitting on the chairs in the hall, chatting and laughing about household matters.
Seeing Mr. Liu coming out of the back hall, all the beauties stood up and gave blessings.
"Sisters I have met my husband."
Young Master Liu walked to the main seat and sat down. He glanced at the beauties and waved casually.
"No etiquette, no etiquette. We don't have so many vulgar etiquette in our own home. Let's all sit down."
"Thank you, husband."
"What were you talking about just now? Tell me and let my husband listen."
"Of course we are talking about when Chengzhi and our daughter-in-law Jingyao can return to the house."
"If there's anything to talk about here, don't worry. It's still a long way from the palace to home, so we have to give the young couple some time.
Besides, yesterday was the wedding night of the young couple, and Jingyao must have had a lot of inconveniences in moving around today. You mothers-in-law also came here from that time, so you have to be considerate of the difficulties of the young couple."
When the girls heard what their husband said so straightforwardly, they all secretly sighed and looked at the courtyard outside the hall from time to time.
After about two or three cups of tea, two figures in splendid attire and extraordinary temperament came into the eyes of the girls, who were looking forward to it with eager anticipation.
Surprisingly, it was Liu Chengzhi and Li Jingyao, the young couple who got married yesterday.
Looking at Liu Chengzhi and his wife, Qi Yun, who were getting closer and closer to the hall door, they sat upright in silence, with heartfelt smiles of relief on their lips.
In a moment, the newlywed couple slowly walked into the main hall, bowed their heads when they saw the elders sitting on the chairs in the hall.
"My son, Liu Chengzhi, pays homage to his father and wishes him well."
"Greetings to my mother, hello to all my aunts, I wish my mother and my aunts all the best."
"My daughter-in-law, Li Jingyao, pays her respects to her father. I wish you well."
"Greetings to my mother, hello to all my aunts. Mom, I wish you all the best."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded: "No need to be so polite, just get up."
Qi Yun and the other girls immediately agreed and held up their hands.
"No gifts, no gifts."
Liu Chengzhi and his wife kowtowed again and then stood up from the floor one after another.
"Thank you daddy."
"Thank you, mother."
"Thank you all, aunts."
When Liu Song, who was standing by the hall door, saw this, he raised his hands and patted them lightly and lightly a few times. The maids guarding outside the hall immediately took the trays with tea in their hands and walked lightly to Liu Chengzhi and his wife.
Beside the two of them.
"Young Master, Young Madam, please."
The couple looked at each other, silently picked up the tea cups on the tray and walked towards Young Master Liu.
Compared with Liu Chengzhi's striding and high-spirited appearance, Li Jingyao's light steps are a bit uncoordinated.
Liu Mingzhi casually glanced at Li Jingyao, who was a little stiff in the lotus step, and then withdrew his gaze, always with a faint smile on his face.
When the girls saw Li Jingyao's slightly frowning eyebrows as she walked, they all raised their handkerchiefs to cover their red lips and smiled softly. The joy in their eyes was self-evident.
"Invite daddy to tea."
"Um!"
Young Master Liu picked up their teacups and each took a sip before placing them on the table beside them.
The young couple bowed respectfully, each picked up a second cup of tea and walked towards Qi Yun.
"Please mother, please have tea."
"Hey, good boy."
Qi Yun took a sip of tea like Young Master Liu and put it on the table. Then she raised her hand and took off the jade bracelet from her bright wrist. She gently grabbed Li Jingyao's flawless jade hand and put the jade bracelet on.
Go up.
"Good daughter-in-law, from now on, Chengzhi, you two will be a loving couple who share the same love and respect each other as guests.
If this bastard Chengzhi dares to bully you in the future, you can come and complain to my mother, and my mother will definitely vent her anger on you."
Liu Chengzhi glanced lovingly at Li Jingyao, who looked shy, and scratched his forehead happily.
"Mom, don't worry, it's not too late for the child to love Jingyao! How can he bully her!"
Qi Yun glared at Liu Chengzhi mercilessly: "Shut up, I'm talking to Jingyao, so don't interrupt.
If you dare to make Jingyao suffer even the slightest injustice in the future, I will break her legs for you."
Liu Chengzhi's face froze, and he laughed angrily twice, suddenly feeling that his status in his mother's heart seemed to have plummeted.
"I...yes, yes, my mother will do whatever she says."
Li Jingyao reached out and caressed the jade bracelet on Hao's wrist a few times, and bowed shyly to Qi Yunfu.
"Hey, thank you very much, mother."
Young Master Liu glanced at Liu Chengzhi, who looked depressed, and rubbed his nose with a groan, the look in his eyes was quite gloating.
You bastard, now you know why I didn't let you get married so early, right? I did it to protect you. Don't you have any idea of your status in the family?
After you marry a daughter-in-law, you are just a tool to carry on the family line. How high do you really think you are in the eyes of your mother?
Just take your time and wait until you have a child. The good times are yet to come!
"My dear daughter-in-law, go and serve tea to all of your aunts."
"Yes. Mother."
Qi Yun looked at the well-behaved and sensible Li Jingyao and rolled her eyes directly at Liu Chengzhi.
"Why are you still standing there? Standing there to show how tall you are?"
The corner of Liu Chengzhi's mouth twitched twice, and he picked up the teacup in the maid's tray with an embarrassed expression and accompanied Li Jingyao to the third princess.
"My aunt, have some tea."
"Hey, my good boy has a heart."
After the third princess took a sip of the tea offered by the young couple, she took out a jade hairpin from the sleeve of her palace dress and gently placed it on the tray of the maid beside her.
"This is a little thought from me, auntie."
"Thank you, auntie."
After the young couple thanked them, they followed the maid and served tea to all the beauties in the hall one by one.
After a while, Liu Chengzhi saw that the tray in the maid's hand was filled with gifts for women, and he looked at the mothers with tangled eyes.
"Mom, aunts, how come they are all gifts for Jingyao, where is mine?"
The girls of Qi Yun glanced at each other subconsciously, coughed a few times, picked up the tea and tasted it silently, without any intention of replying to Liu Chengzhi.
Mr. Liu gently spit out the tea leaves in his mouth and looked towards the roof of the main hall.
What the heck, he's just a tool that is passed down from generation to generation. Don't you have any self-awareness?
