Chapter 320: Reasonable
Niu Xiu was not introduced to her family first, and only after the bride and groom met her.
After everyone glanced at Niu Xiu curiously, they were even more curious about her mother, wondering whether the bride could please Meng Daoming.
The little girl guarding the door outside called out, "Master, the eldest lady is here."
Everyone looked at the nine-panel screen at the door. Duke Cheng Guo walked around the screen with a tall woman.
Liu is nearly thirty years old, as tall as Cheng Guogong, and slightly fatter. She wears a bright red mandarin with gold scattered all over the ground, a magenta horse-faced skirt, a large crested hairpin inlaid with treasures, and red gold chrysanthemums covering her temples.
Perhaps in order to cover the original skin, the makeup powder is thicker. The face, eyes, nose, and mouth are all too big, but the facial features are quite regular.
There was a smile in her eyes and the corners of her mouth were raised, making her look approachable.
In addition to being taller, Mr. Liu is not as fierce and ugly as the legend says.
This look is indeed not the type that Meng Daoming likes.
Duke Cheng Guo's face turned red, and he looked even more shy and coy than the bride. He couldn't tell that he was happy or unhappy.
Are they sleeping or not sleeping? Are the husband and wife in harmony or not?
You can't tell that everyone was a little disappointed.
The old man and the old lady, who were worried just now, both smiled with satisfaction. Yes, there was no embarrassment on their faces, and they didn't come in on purpose.
When the newlyweds walked in front of the old couple, Cheng Guogong said, "Father, mother, this is the Liu family."
They knelt down and kowtowed.
The girl brought the tray with the tea cup.
Ms. Liu picked up a cup of tea and raised her hands above her head, "Daughter-in-law Ms. Liu, please invite your father-in-law to have tea."
Even if I lower my voice deliberately, my voice sounds richer.
The old man took the tea with a smile, took a sip and said, "Good boy, when you marry into the Meng family, you must be filial to your elders and treat your younger generation kindly... Of course, I don't want you to just compromise and seek perfection. You can't get used to bad people and things.
If you can't do it, tell me and I'll help you."
Duke Cheng's nose was so angry that he was crooked. The "bad person" didn't refer to himself. My father was going too far, being such a helper to a shrew.
The old lady didn't like hearing that either, but she didn't dare to show it. The old man told her more than once that if the eldest son didn't have a strong person to take care of him, something would happen sooner or later. Then he wouldn't be the only one who would be harmed, the whole family would be involved.
.
Mrs. Liu laughed out loud, "Haha, thank you, father-in-law."
The old man gave her a string of extremely translucent ice jade beads. It meant that she should be calm when she should be calm.
Madam Liu served tea to the old lady again, "Daughter-in-law Madam Liu, please invite your mother-in-law to tea."
The old lady took the tea, took a sip, and said, "Good boy, we want husband and wife to love each other, husband to wife, respect the old and pity the young."
He gave her a set of gold and jade headdresses.
Ms. Liu understood that the old lady did not want to overpower Meng Daoming.
She said very virtuously, "Yes."
Cheng Guogong glanced at my mother gratefully, saying it was better for me.
Duke Cheng Guo and Mrs. Liu stood up, sat down and bowed their heads to the old man.
Apart from the old couple, they have the highest status in this room.
Meng Cimo came with his wife and son to kowtow.
Meng Cimo and Jiang Yixi called "Mrs."
Meng Zhaocun had already woken up. The little guy kowtowed and shouted, "Bride, my new grandmother, you look good."
Then he stared at Mrs. Liu without blinking. He thought the big bird on the bride's clothes and on her head was particularly beautiful.
Everyone was amused, and Mrs. Liu even laughed heartily. Only Duke Cheng Guo rolled his eyes secretly, who said that the little baby didn't lie.
This was the first time that Liu heard someone compliment her on her beauty. She smiled and said, "Brother Cun is smart. From now on, my grandmother will teach you martial arts and make sweet cakes for you to eat."
Hearing that there were sweet cakes to eat, Brother Cun happily kowtowed again to express his gratitude.
The girl behind Ms. Liu brought a tray of greeting gifts, including jade ornaments, a necklace of southern pearls, and a book.
Then Meng Yue and Huang Xin came to kowtow.
As soon as Meng Yue saw Mrs. Liu, her heart beat wildly. This stepmother looked scarier than Mrs. Fu...
The meeting gifts given by Mrs. Liu to them were a necklace of southern pearls and a lotus hosta.
Then came the second and third bedrooms. Meng Cixin and his family went to give them gifts.
After the bride recognized her and kissed her, Jiang Yixi personally led Niu Xiu to meet everyone.
First, he brought her to stand in front of the old couple. Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "She is Xiuxiu. In the future, my grandparents will have another granddaughter, Cheng Huan."
Niu Xiu knelt down and kowtowed, "My granddaughter Xiu Xiu has met her grandfather and grandmother."
The old man laughed loudly and said, "This is your home, don't be restrained. If you need anything, come to your sister-in-law. If you feel wronged, come to me."
The old lady smiled again and said, "What a lovely child. The old lady is blessed to have a beautiful granddaughter. She can play more with my sisters-in-law..."
Suddenly a black line flashed and Huahua jumped into the old lady's arms.
The old lady smiled again and said, "This is Huahua. Like Brother An, Brother Cun, and Sister Xin, he is the treasure of our family. You can play with it when you have nothing to do. It is smarter than some people.
It’s so interesting.”
Niu Xiu glanced at Huahua with bright eyes, and showed two little tiger teeth with joy.
The old couple gave her a valuable meeting gift.
After everyone was introduced, it was time for lunch.
The whole family finished the meal happily and went back to their respective courtyards.
Before leaving, the old man said, "We are tired. Only Daoming and his wife will come to chat with us and have a meal in the afternoon."
The old man and the old lady were very satisfied with Ms. Liu and wanted the whole family to see that they praised her.
Duke Cheng Guo wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't want to see this shrew and wanted to go out to the study to look at erotic pictures. But the old man said this and he didn't dare not listen.
The two of them returned to the main courtyard, and the corners of their mouths turned upward. Mrs. Liu went straight to the upper bedroom to rest, while Duke Cheng Guo turned around and went to the study in the east chamber.
Those who can enter the main room to serve are the maids brought by Mrs. Liu.
They saw their new uncle sleeping on the ground early this morning, and they wanted to cry without tears.
Mrs. Liu called Grandma Liu and the eldest girl Qiaolan into the room, and told her how she and Duke Cheng would get along in the future.
"This is how he and I are living now. Only a few of us know about this. Don't spread it out."
Aunt Liu cried and said, "Madam, there is no wall that is airtight. I will displease my parents-in-law..."
Mrs. Liu intercepted her words and said, "Let's talk about it later. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are sensible. As long as I take advantage of the word 'reason', I won't be the one who gets the blame. Well, I didn't rest well yesterday and wanted to sleep. It's not the end of the day."
calls me."
She lay down on the bed, but still couldn't sleep, and the image of Duke Cheng appeared in front of her eyes.
Meng Daoming is even more handsome and majestic than Niu Jun. Unfortunately, like Niu Jun, he is a bastard who only cares about his appearance...
Mrs. Liu was so angry that her chest hurt.
When she left Wucheng, her parents repeatedly warned her not to hit people casually like they did at Niu's house. The old man could pamper her, but the old lady loved her son and definitely didn't want her son to be bullied by her daughter-in-law.
But the daughter of the Liu family is not bullied casually. It’s not that she can’t be beaten, but she must stand firm and reason before being beaten.
