Mugui

Chapter 326
Lin Xiao held Yang Mu's hand, entered through the gate and walked to the backyard.

As he walked, he introduced the layout of the Lin family's house to Yang Mu in a low voice, and agreed to take her around after serving tea and worshiping the ancestors for a while.

The layout of the Lin family is different from that of the Yang family. The Yang family has beautiful scenery, and every step has a scene; while the Lin family's backyard has a large yard, few scenery, and a simple layout.

The two of them entered the backyard, passed by Chengqi Courtyard, and instead of going back, they went north for a cup of tea.

To the east is a large lake, and to the west is Yong'an Yuan.

Yong'an Yuan is very large and houses Lin Mao, Cao family, Zhao Fangfei and several concubines.

The two women guarding the door saw the two coming hand in hand. One went in to report, and the other greeted them with a smile and led the two in.

The maids and wives who came and went bowed their knees and bowed when they saw the two of them. They all saw the two holding hands, and they made plans in their hearts. They didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup the prince concubine poured into the prince. On the day of their wedding, they punished the entire kitchen.

Lin Mao was sitting inside, and everyone in Yong'an Courtyard did not dare to make any mistakes. They opened the curtain to let the two of them in, but there was not much respect in their eyes.

The hall was already full of people.

Lin Mao and Cao sat on the main seats.

Concubine Zhao stood behind Mrs. Cao, and behind her stood several concubines.

Sitting on the right are Lin Xiao's two younger brothers and a younger sister.

Sitting on the left are the second master Lin Fan, his wife Meng Shi, and several children from the second bedroom.

Yang Mu knew that serving tea was the first test for a new daughter-in-law at her husband's house, and many families set rules for the new daughter-in-law on this day.

It's a pity that she is not afraid of trouble. Not only does she have a noble status, but she is also a hard-fisted person, not a doormat.

She raised her eyes and glanced at everyone, and saw that except Lin Mao, who was really happy, everyone was smiling.

It's just that Lin Mao is sitting here. Although these people are dissatisfied, they don't dare to show it.

Cao's originally calm and fake expression turned cold after seeing the red arrowhead hairpin in Yang Mu's hair.

That is the relic of the Changsun family!

A maid brought a mat. Lin Mao waved his hand and said, "Remove the mat."

Mrs. Cao raised her eyebrows, feeling happy in her heart. Is the prince asking his new wife to kneel on the floor tiles and serve tea?

Lin Mao's next words came out immediately, making Mr. Cao's face darken with anger.

"The Crown Princess is a first-class princess, how can you kneel to me? Just stand and serve tea!"

Although a super-first-grade princess has no real power, her rank is more noble than that of a first-grade princess with a different surname.

Lin Xiao curled up his lips, satisfied that his own father knew the current affairs, and led Yang Mu over.

The two took the tea from the maid's tray, bowed and offered tea to Lin Mao, and said in unison: "Father, drink tea."

Lin Mao laughed heartily, said "good" three times, took the tea from Yang Mu's hand first, and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Xiao: "..."

Shouldn't you take my tea first and take a sip?

Is this tea or wine?

Lin Mao drank tea vigorously, pouring the tea leaves into his throat. He even coughed several times, but did not cough out the tea leaves. He quickly took the tea from Lin Xiao's hand, then swallowed the tea leaves, and then gasped several times. , three more "ok"s.

He grinned, took out two pieces of paper from his arms, handed them to Yang Mu, and said, "These are the title deeds and house deeds of the western suburbs racecourse. Please keep them."

Yang Mu was happiest when receiving gifts. He thanked her happily and handed two pieces of paper to Daishan behind him.

Lin Xiao couldn't see how hopeless his father was, so he rolled his eyes at him and turned around to serve tea to Mr. Cao.

"Princess drinks tea."

The two spoke in unison.

Ms. Cao did not accept the tea, but smiled and said, "I should call you Concubine." Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao and Yang Mu did not reply. Silence is golden.

Cao was in a stalemate for a while, and seeing that Lin Mao was already dissatisfied with her, she suppressed her frustration and reached out to take the tea.

But she naturally wouldn't give Yang Mu face like Lin Mao, so she took Lin Xiao's tea first, took a sip, put it on the table not very lightly, and then went to take Yang Mu's tea.

This tea made her very unhappy.

Lin Xiao is the prince, so it’s okay not to call her mother and concubine. The prince is here and he must give some face to his stepson. Why would a newly married bride dare to disobey her!

But Lin Mao was sitting here, and she didn't dare to show her displeasure too obviously.She nodded behind her, and Grandma Zhou came out with a box.

Aunt Zhou opened the box, revealing a set of hollow gold-wired heads and faces.

Ms. Cao said: "This is a new style from Linglong Pavilion. You can wear it and play with it."

When Yang Mu heard the words "Linglong Pavilion", he raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Cao. Seeing her expression of "You must have never seen such good jewelry", the corner of her mouth curled up and she said with a smile: "Princess too. Do you like Linglong Pavilion’s jewelry?”

Madam Cao did not expect that Yang Mu would ask this question instead of thanking him first. She was stunned for a moment and then said: "This Linglong Pavilion is an old jewelry shop in the capital. Whether it is workmanship or quality, it is top-notch in the capital. It is the best in the palace." All the queens like it.”

She pointed to the hairpin on her head and said with a smile: "I wear it all the time too. And your eldest sister, she also likes Linglong Pavilion. In this capital, wearing Linglong Pavilion jewelry is a sign of status. Oh, I do. I forgot that the Crown Princess didn’t grow up in the capital, I’m afraid she doesn’t know.”

After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her handkerchief, as if she accidentally mentioned Yang Mu's flaws, with an apologetic smile.

Yang Mu said with a smile on his lips: "As long as the princess likes it, this Linglong Pavilion is my mother's dowry shop, and now it is given to me. The princess likes it, Linglong Pavilion is flattered."

Cao's smile froze on her face.

One moment she was laughing at Yang Mu for growing up in the countryside, and the next moment she was slapped in the face. The shop she was looking forward to was actually someone else's dowry.

She used things from other people's dowry shops to give them as greeting gifts.

This joke has become too big.

Yang Mu smiled and said, "I forgot. Linglong Pavilion was not mentioned in the dowry list. My mother felt sorry for me and just added it to me temporarily. It's understandable that the princess didn't know."

Why do these words sound so similar to the tone she spoke just now?

Mrs. Cao became cold-faced. People from the countryside are quite difficult to deal with!
Lin Mao glared at Mr. Cao, with an expression on his face that said "shameful".

Ms. Cao was even more angry, but the expression on her face was a bit gentler.

Lin Xiao was suppressing laughter until his cheeks hurt, but his wife was so powerful and domineering!

Lin Xiao stopped talking to Mrs. Cao and took Yang Mu to the second room.

Even the prince and princess are not qualified to let the bride kneel down and serve tea, and the second wife is even less qualified.

Yang Mu followed Lin Xiao and served Lin Fan tea.

Lin Fan is Lin Mao's half-brother, and he looks very similar, but he doesn't have Lin Mao's long beard.

Lin Fan was a scholar and was not as good at fighting as Lin Mao, so he just led the errands of the Ministry of Works and served as the Minister of Works.

Lin Fan smiled without saying a word, happily took Lin Xiao's tea, took a sip, and then took Yang Mu's tea and drank it.

The second lady, Meng, came from a small family, but her behavior was very gentle and polite. She quickly took the tea from the two of them and drank it. Then she took a long box from the maid and said: "A painting to congratulate the crown prince on his great happiness. "

Yang Mu did not order anyone to open the painting, but he also knew that it would not be a vulgar piece. Because Meng's father was a court painter, this painting could definitely be hung up.

The serious masters of the palace have already met, and the next step is to serve tea to Lin Mao's concubine Zhao, but Lin Xiao is the prince, and his status in the palace is more noble than Aunt Zhao, and Yang Mu is A super first-class princess, with a more noble status.

Concubine Zhao didn't have the nerve to drink the tea offered by the princess, so she could only stand up and nod to Lin Xiao and Yang Mu.

She came over, took out a brocade box, opened it and said, "This is the Yingluo I made with my own hands. I hope the concubine will accept it."

It was a meeting gift between Lin Mao and Cao, she could only say it was a gift.

Yang Mu smiled and took the Yingluo with broken jade and precious stones, and gave it back to Concubine Zhao with a pearl.
