The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 621 Serving Tea and Acknowledging Relatives ([-])

When Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo entered the Zhenghe Hall, the maids of Zhenghe Hall had already prepared warm tea for serving tea.

Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo knelt down in front of Zhen Guogong and his wife and Mrs. Lu, and Hongqiao, the eldest maid of the Zhenghe Hall, brought the little maid over with a tray.

There were three cups of steaming tea on the tray, Hong Qiao took a cup of tea and handed it to Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo took the teacup with both hands, raised it above his head respectfully and handed it to Lord Zhen Guo: "Grandpa, please use tea."

Lord Zhen Guo took a big sip from the teacup, then applauded loudly, and handed over the big red envelope that he had prepared long ago to Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo thanked her, took the red envelope and put it on the tray held by Bai Mian, and then took the tray from Zisu, on the tray was the clothes, shoes, socks and knee pads that Su Yunduo personally sewed for Lord Zhen Guo, Once again, he respectfully raised his head and offered it to Duke Zhen.

The chief steward Lu Ming, who was waiting with his hands tied, took a step forward, took the tray from Su Yunduo, respectfully brought it to Lord Zhen Guo, and asked him to have a look.

Although Duke Zhen didn't have to worry about wearing clothes, but because this was the first tribute from his grandchildren, Duke Zhen laughed happily as he stroked the clothes, shoes, socks and knee pads.

After paying homage to Duke Zhen, the next cup of tea is for An Shi. Su Yunduo's etiquette is still the same, and he respectfully holds the cup with both hands above his head and hands it to An Shi: "Grandma, please drink tea. .”

An's took the tea, and also took a big sip, put down the teacup and handed it to Su Yunduo a pair of fine jasper bracelets.

What Su Yunduo paid tribute to An's was also a complete set of clothes, shoes and socks, but the knee pads were replaced by a wide forehead wipe made of navy blue fine cotton silk.

In the middle of the forehead is inlaid with a shiny oriental bead the size of a finger pulp. On both sides of the oriental bead are embroidered with gold and silver silk threads, two slowly blooming rich and noble peonies. Just looking at the embroidery, it is obviously a lot of work. thought.

An picked up this forehead wipe, and immediately fell in love with it.

When she gave birth to her youngest son, her mother-in-law in the mansion died of illness, but at that time, Lord Zhen Guo was stationed in the border town, and he was tired during the confinement period and suffered from a headache when he saw the wind, so he had to wear forehead wipes all year round.

Su Yunduo's forehead wipe was sent to An's heart.

The third cup of tea is toast to Mrs. Lu. Although Mrs. Lu is Su Yunduo's grandmother, since today is the tea ceremony of the Zhen Guogong's mansion, the address of the old lady Lu must be arranged according to the Zhen Guo's mansion. .

Su Yunduo didn't see the slightest hesitation, took the teacup that Hongqiao handed her, and served tea to the old lady Lu: "Grandmother, please drink tea."

Old Mrs. Lu's bright laughter sounded in the main hall, and she took a sip of the tea. Naturally, she must give Su Yunduo a red envelope, but Mrs. Lu's red envelope is a bit special, it is a big cowhide envelope.

Seeing this envelope, Su Yunduo's heart skipped a beat. She had seen this envelope in the He'antang where Mrs. Lu lived. If she read it correctly, it contained two shops and a Zhuangzi in Mrs. Lu's dowry. deed.

The old lady Lu took it out to add makeup to her that day, but she took a lot of talk to get the old lady to take it back. She never thought that it would still be in her hands today.

Seeing that Su Yunduo didn't pick up for so long, the old lady Lu couldn't help but angrily said: "You accepted what your grandparents gave you without saying anything, but you can't accept what your aunt gave you?"

It is not true that Su Yunduo accepts it, nor does it not accept it.

Accept it, Mrs. Lu has already given her a lot, she is really embarrassed to accept it again, but after all, this is a meeting gift from Mrs. Lu as the aunt of the Zhen Guogong Mansion to her nephew and granddaughter-in-law. It is not good not to accept it.

Just when Su Yunduo was in a dilemma, Lu Jinkang who was beside him chuckled and said, "The gift from the elder is inescapable. Duo Duo has accepted my great-aunt's kindness. Let's honor my great-aunt a lot in the future."

Only then did Su Yunduo accept this generous gift from Mrs. Lu, and as for the gift in return, there was only some, thanks to Zisu, the first time she saw Mrs. Lu appearing here, she quietly confessed to the clever Bai Aoi went back to Xiao Feng Tang to get a suitable gift in return.

Su Yunduo took the tray from Zisu, and finally understood why Mrs. Lu asked her to bring this set of clothes, shoes and socks to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion before she got married. relationship grandmother.

The difference from An's is that, apart from a set of clothes, shoes and socks, Mrs. Lu's return gift is neither knee pads nor forehead wipes, but a fox fur made into a hand warmer.

Although the gifts Su Yunduo gave to the three elders were slightly different, they each had their own ingenuity and felt that the three elders loved them.

After offering tea to the three grandparents, it is natural to offer tea to the fathers next.

First of all, it is natural to respect parents, but Lu Jinkang's situation is special, the relationship between his biological mother and stepmother is normal, although Su Yunduo feels a little uneasy, but he has made up his mind to act only with Lu Jinkang.

Lu Jinkang brought Su Yunduo to Lu Da and Xiao Xu's, but he was not in a hurry to bring Su Yunduo to offer tea, and his face was no longer happy before, and he looked at Lu Da with a serious and handsome face.

Su Yunduo stood quietly beside Lu Jinkang, and from the corner of her eyes, he could clearly see the expression in Lu Da's eyes. He looked at Lu Jinkang with a hint of embarrassment and pleading, but he couldn't change Lu Jinkang's decision.

After a while, Lu Da sighed and said to Xiao Xu, "You go back."

Xiao Xu's face suddenly turned blue and purple, making Su Yunduo feel a little pitiful, but poor people must have something to hate, if Xiao Xu didn't do that, she wouldn't be as embarrassing as she is today.

The first three old people didn't seem to see the movement here, they just held the clothes, shoes and socks that Su Yunduo made for them and whispered, obviously they didn't plan to intervene even if they didn't approve of Lu Jinkang's actions at the moment. The town government is indeed unpopular.

Under Lu Da's motion, the maid who waited beside Xiao Xu took Xiao Xu away with her hands and mopped the floor.

Seeing her mother, she was taken down. Standing behind her parents, Lu Jinhua's expression was serious, but she didn't move. Lu Yujiao was startled by this sudden situation. She opened her mouth to cry, but was covered by Lu Jinhua. She stopped and whispered something in her ear, although Lu Yujiao was red-eyed, she nodded obediently and did not dare to cry.

Lu Jinkang glanced at Lu Jinhua with satisfaction, and then brought Su Yunduo to kneel down in front of Lu Da.

After all, if Mrs. Xu hadn't tried to manipulate Lu Jinkang's marriage and did things that Lu Jinkang could not tolerate one after another, Mrs. Xu would not be treated like this by Lu Jinkang today because she was not only Lu Jinkang's stepmother but also Lu Jinkang's aunt. Xu herself.

Besides, those two old men were obviously on Lu Jinkang's side, otherwise they would have spoken long ago, how could Lu Jinkang be so presumptuous? !
