Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 245 Cousins
Along the way, Jiang Zhixia listened carefully to Nanny Mu's introduction, and understood the general situation of the Mu family.

The five principles of heaven and ethics, monarch and subject, father and son, husband and wife, brother, and friend are recognized by everyone.

In addition to the monarch and ministers, father and son are the most important.

So, no matter what, whenever Liu Tiankuo recognizes Cheng Enhou, this relationship must be taken seriously—at least on the surface.

And the Mu family, as Liu Tiankuo's uncle's family, naturally should pay more attention to it in this era when the mother and uncle are big.

When they arrived at the gate of Cheng'enhou's Mansion, the door of the concierge saw that it was the carriage of Chu's Mansion, so he quickly removed the threshold and let the carriage drive straight in.

When Jiang Zhixia got off the carriage, the woman carrying the sedan chair was already waiting with a smile on her face.

Another personal nurse of Mrs. Cheng Enhou rushed up to greet her, and said with a smile: "Grandma, everyone is in the old lady's Song'an Courtyard to accompany the daughter-in-law. Please trouble Grandma to go too."

Jiang Zhixia nodded and got on the sedan chair.

When he arrived at Song'an Courtyard, Jiang Zhixia got off the sedan chair and stepped into the main hall, where he saw a group of gorgeously dressed Yingying and Yanyan.

Today, it happened to be the second day of junior high school, so most of the men in Cheng Enhou's mansion, those who went to the yamen went to the yamen, and those who went to the ethnology school went to the ethnology study.

Therefore, most of the Song'an Courtyard is filled with backyard female relatives and young children.

Jiang Zhixia was the last to come. When she came in, there was a moment of silence in the lobby.

With a sincere smile on her face, Mrs. Cheng Enhou hurriedly called Jiang Zhixia to come over.

However, Jiang Zhixia walked to the middle of the main hall, first bowed to Mrs. Liu, and then bowed to Mrs. Cheng Enhou, the second wife, the third wife, and the elder sisters-in-law.

In Cheng'enhou's mansion, she never let people find fault with her in such trivial matters as etiquette.

After waiting for Jiang Zhixia to complete the ceremony, Mrs. Cheng Enhou took Jiang Zhixia with one hand and a young girl in her teens with the other, and introduced them to each other.

"Rong Ya, this is your cousin."

"Daughter-in-law, this is your Mu family's cousin, who is the sixth of the line, named Rong Ya. You can call her Sixth Sister." Mrs. Cheng Enhou introduced with a smile.

Miss Mu Liu had already received an explanation from Mrs. Cheng Enhou, and she knew this cousin who must be her own direct relative.

Seeing Jiang Zhixia's gentleness and kindness again, she immediately fell in love with her, so she hurriedly saluted and said that she had met her cousin.

Jiang Zhixia naturally helped her up quickly, and then gave her a meeting gift.

Jiang Zhixia looked at the young and beautiful girl, thought for a while, and asked with a smile: "Is it Rong Zexiuya, the juvenile Rongya?"

When Miss Mu Liu heard Jiang Zhixia's words, surprise flashed in her eyes.

Her name is Mu Rongya, and it just so happens that her mother's surname is Rong, so many people think she is a combination of her parents' surnames.

Few people think about Chu Ci.

"Exactly. My mother's surname is Rong, so my father took this name from Chu Ci, which happened to include my mother's surname. I also have a sister named Rongxiu." Mu Rongya said happily to Jiang Zhixia.

Jiang Zhixia covered her mouth and smiled.

In the previous life, when everyone named their children, they mostly said Chuci for men and Shijing for women.

That is to say, boys' names are often taken from Chuci, and girls' names are mostly taken from the Book of Songs.

I haven't paid attention to this problem in this life.

But seeing that the Mu family gave the girl the name Chu Cizhong, it shouldn't be limited to that, right?

Mu Rongya already had a very good impression of Jiang Zhixia, and Jiang Zhixia explained the origin of her name, and the impression was even stronger.

After seeing the ceremony, she has been following Jiang Zhixia's side.

It seemed that the family recognition in Song'an Courtyard was coming to an end. After Jiang Zhixia came over, he talked briefly for a while, and then Mrs. Cheng Enhou took her and Mu Rongya back to the courtyard of the long room.

After everyone sat down in the lobby, Mrs. Cheng Enhou said to Jiang Zhixia: "Your fourth uncle and eldest cousin are resting in the front yard. After your father and Tiankuo come back, we Goodbye, family. Tonight, I'm afraid the whole mansion will have dinner together."

Jiang Zhixia nodded, expressing her understanding.

Nowadays, a woman's natal family is regarded as a foreigner.When foreign guests come, in order to show respect, it is natural to welcome them with the whole house.

What's more, Cheng Enhou, a man who dotes on his wife, will definitely let everyone come to welcome him.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cheng Enhou seemed to suddenly remember, and said to Jiang Zhixia: "However, don't worry, the third bedroom is still under confinement and will not come out."

Jiang Zhixia nodded with a faint smile.

Mu Rongya next to him kept staring at Jiang Zhixia.

This cousin is the rumored commoner cousin.

Although she is a commoner who was born as a court lady, she is neither humble nor overbearing, and treats her indifferently.No wonder it was loved by the eldest aunt.

While Jiang Zhixia was talking to Mrs. Cheng Enhou, she saw Mu Rongya staring at her from the corner of her eye.

Do you understand that this must be a curiosity about yourself?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia turned his head and smiled mischievously at Mu Rongya: "Sixth Sister is staring at me like this, why don't you let me show Sixth Sister specifically?"

Mu Rongya, who thought she was secretly looking at Jiang Zhixia, was startled by the smiling face that suddenly turned around, and then lowered her head in embarrassment with her face flushed.

"You girl, you can still be so naughty." Mrs. Cheng Enhou looked at Jiang Zhixia dumbfounded.

Jiang Zhixia also laughed when he saw that he was frightened.

The three of them chatted lively in the main hall, but Cheng Enhou and Liu Tiankuo led Master Mu Si and Uncle Mu in together.

It turned out that after the Mu family arrived at the mansion, Mrs. Cheng Enhou sent her servants to the yamen to find Cheng Enhou.

Because Liu Tiankuo was in the palace, it took some time to call him out.

After they came back, they first went to the front yard to meet Master Mu Si and Uncle Mu, and had a shallow chat for a while.

Then, I came to the backyard and met together.

And Lin Qiushui went back to the Lin family because she was going to get married.

It has just been notified now.As a result, when she came, she was followed by a little tail—Miss Lin Si.

Seeing the embarrassed look on Lin Qiushui's face, everyone understood that Mrs. Lin must have forced this.

Now that everyone is here, they recognize each other again.

The juniors saluted Mr. Mu Si together, except for Miss Lin Si, they all received generous greeting gifts.

After all, Miss Lin Si was not considered a serious relative of the Mu family, and the Mu family would not consider her when preparing generous gifts.

Therefore, holding a simple greeting gift, her complexion became extremely ugly.

If it weren't for the presence of Cheng Enhou and his wife, they would probably have exploded on the spot.

"Since we have seen the ceremony, Miss Lin, please go to the flower hall to drink some hot tea and have some snacks. Mother Mu, please invite Miss Lin to drink tea." Seeing that everyone has greeted each other, Madam Cheng Enhou With a cold face, she yelled at Nanny Mu to take him away.

"Auntie, I'd better stay with Eldest Sister." Miss Lin Si hurriedly said, remembering her mother's entrustment.

After all, the chances of her coming to Cheng'enhou's mansion are still very small.

Now that he finally came in, he naturally didn't want to lose the opportunity to please Mrs. Cheng Enhou.
