On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 289 Tea Serving 2
Of course, during this period, Yan's mother also prepared food and clothes for my uncle to wear today.

As for other services, that is impossible.

And Li Yan didn't need those, he just watched them dress up the pretty Xiao Xiao into a bright and dignified beauty.

When the couple came to the hall together, there were already many people inside, talking and laughing, making it very lively.

General Li was also talking to his cousin. When he saw his eldest son and daughter-in-law coming in, he happily said: "Aji, you are here, ready to serve tea."

Mrs. Li was originally talking to Zhou Yunru. When she heard her husband's words, she winked at a woman who was surrounding her.

The woman felt bitter in her heart, but thinking about what she was asking for, she could only pretend to be relaxed and said: "The eldest young master and the eldest young mistress are really in love. They are even late for tea, or have they forgotten about it?"

Aunt Mo, who was standing quietly aside, heard this and began to pay attention to Xiao Xiao.

When she thought about her son's insistence on marrying Xiao Xiao, she was afraid that her son would be fascinated by the beauty and stand up for Xiao Xiao regardless of the rules.

This banter or embarrassment between the female family members would be of a different nature if a man intervened.

She was also worried that Xiao Xiao, a girl from an ordinary family, would be frightened and nervous when she suddenly saw a room full of ladies in high positions and wearing gold and silver. If she cried or just lowered her head and didn't speak, she would It makes people think she is petty.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao smiled at the woman: "It's my fault. My body is weak and I walk slowly, which delays the time."

This person obviously targeted himself deliberately.

Xiao Xiao just entered Li's house, but her eyes were still dark, and she didn't know who was opposite her.

But I also know that this must be my aunt's idea.

Then she couldn't refute that her husband and wife were not loving, nor could she say that she wasn't late, so she could just admit it openly.

She was filled with emotion: Is this the legendary house fight? In the past, I had only seen it on TV and in books, but now I could experience it myself?
Not only the woman who spoke, but also Mrs. Li and even everyone in the hall who heard Xiao Xiao speak looked at her in surprise.

She has a round, fair and jade-like face with a faint blush, such a good complexion, and a rosy little mouth. No matter how you look at it, you can't tell that she is weak.

Moreover, Xiao Xiao's voice was neither high nor low, and he didn't sound like a frail person.

Furthermore, I can smile in response to everyone’s attention.

This made everyone remember: the eldest mistress of the General's Mansion looks very timid and does not look like a girl from a small family.

But most people thought it was normal. This was the son of a general. Although he was the eldest son of a concubine, he already had a family of thousands. How could he really marry an ordinary peasant girl?
Aunt Mo also glanced at Xiao Xiao in surprise, then lowered her eyes, still looking honest and responsible.

General Li laughed: "It's not too late. It's just the right time. It's not even Chen hour yet?"

He really didn't hear anything wrong in it.

Isn't it just the cousin's daughter-in-law making fun of the newcomer? The rough guys like them in the military camp are more direct when talking about some things.

The maids put down cushions in front of General Li and his friends' seats.

Mrs. Li also spoke: "Normally A Ji is the eldest son, but A Yuan is the legitimate son. Husband, according to the rules, I should let A Yuan and the others serve tea first, right?"

General Li twitched his lips when he heard this, glanced at his wife, and said calmly: "That's how it should be."

He was not prepared to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, so he would not ignore the ancestral rules. There was a distinction between concubine and concubine, and he would certainly not let the concubine's eldest son serve tea first.

Then she insisted on saying this nonsense, just to let Li Ji understand his own identity in front of her tribe, relatives and friends.

But even if Li Ji is a concubine, he is still his flesh and blood. He is the son of the woman he likes, and he is also the son he is satisfied with.

Mrs. Li also noticed that he was unhappy, but she still straightened her back and said with a smile: "Let's get started!" Everyone's eyes not only looked at the newlyweds who started to serve tea, but also glanced at Li Ji and Xiao Xiao One glance.

But Xiao Xiao's expression didn't change, she really didn't care.

She had known for a long time that the man she was going to marry was a concubine, and his treatment would definitely not be as good as that of a legitimate son.

By letting them serve tea from behind, she could just take the opportunity to see how the newlyweds in front of them saluted.

Although a female teacher taught them for a while, they were afraid that they would be negligent.

Even if she is not thin-skinned, she does not want to embarrass herself in public.

The newlyweds first serve tea to Gaotang, and then meet with relatives and relatives.

Xiao Xiao saw that Zhou Yunru gave away purses, fan covers, forehead wiping and other needlework, but the elders and relatives gave dozens of gold and silver jewelry and various gemstones.

Her eyes lit up when she saw it. It turned out that there was really such a good thing?
On the other side, Mrs. Li was very satisfied with her beautiful son and daughter-in-law, but she couldn't help but look at the thorn in her side.

But he saw that Li Ji's expression was indifferent, and Xiao Xiao was looking at his son eagerly, with eyes as bright as a thief.

Her heart suddenly panicked.

She still remembered what Xiao Xiao said back then.

For someone like her to actually want to marry her own son, she really wants to eat swan meat.

But Mrs. Li couldn't deny that Xiao Xiao, who was dressed up, looked really good.

Even Zhou Yunru, who comes from a wealthy family and is dignified and delicate, cannot completely steal her limelight.

Thinking that the concubine will soon return to the guardhouse, what if Xiao Xiao has ulterior motives for his son?
She didn't want the Li family to be gossiped about behind their backs, so she began to wonder, why not let Xiao Xiao follow Li Ji to the guardhouse?
Otherwise, she was really afraid that Xiao Xiao would have any thoughts about her son.

Xiao Xiao didn't know that his aunt was looking at him through colored glasses.

After they served tea, they also exchanged embroidery for some gold and silver jewelry, and they were in a good mood.

After such a delay, it was already time for lunch.

Everyone came to the side hall. Although there were all relatives and friends present, they were still separated by screens.

Mrs. Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. The screen gave her son a sense of security.

Xiao Xiao almost went to find a seat and sat down, but when she saw her younger siblings already standing behind Mrs. Li, she came back to her senses and almost forgot to serve her aunt for dinner.

She could only walk behind Mrs. Li and prepare to serve her.

The delicious food on the table was so fragrant that Xiao Xiao, who had just eaten a bowl of porridge in the morning, couldn't help but swallow.

After Zhou Yunru picked up a piece of venison for Mrs. Li with serving chopsticks, Xiao Xiao also picked up a piece of sea cucumber for Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li took the opportunity to find fault: "Boss and daughter-in-law, remember, I don't like to eat these dark things."

Although she didn't like it very much in the past, she would still eat some sea cucumber porridge, braised sea cucumber and the like.

But she had already made up her mind that no matter what Xiao Xiao gave her, she would say she didn't like it.

She didn't believe that Xiao Xiao could be as thick-skinned as the city wall. It would be best if she made things difficult for her and cried.
