Hidden golden branches

Mrs. Lu also got up very early today and didn't bother to eat breakfast. She took her son Chen Yao to Chen Youyu's house in the East Mansion to wait for the bride to serve tea and recognize her.

When Mrs. Lu just heard that her nephew Chen Zhao had married a woman who had lost her reputation, she felt gloating and ridiculed in her heart.

So what if your second wife is more powerful?

Didn’t the only legitimate son marry an unwanted woman?

In the future, your second son will definitely not be able to support the prosperity of the family.

But when he thought that the woman was the legitimate daughter of General Cui Cui Wen, his thoughts of ridicule suddenly stopped.

Don't underestimate Cui Wen's position as commander-in-chief. He is hereditary.

Even if you are a prince, your son can only be called a prince, and your grandson can also be called a prince.
But the Cui family is different, as long as the Xiao family dynasty does not fall. As long as the Cui family has no rebellious intentions. Then the Cui family will inherit the position of chief soldier from generation to generation.

It can be seen how reassuring the Tian family is about the Cui family.

In turn, the Cui family was absolutely loyal to the emperor and would never take sides.

Also arriving as early as Mrs. Lu were the third-fang Hang family and the fourth-fang and fifth-fang family. They all took their children and sat on the two rows of chairs at the west end to wait for the newcomers to arrive.

Also arriving as early as Ms. Lu were Ms. Fang, who had three bedrooms, and Ms. Ding and Tu, who had no four bedrooms. They all took their children and sat on the two rows of chairs at the west end to wait for the newcomers to arrive.

Just when Lu was feeling mixed emotions, his eyes suddenly lit up. The manager of Fuyi Hall, Aunt Li, opened the door and saw a pair of wall figures walking in at the same time, holding hands.

The handsome groom has a happy smile on his face, and the bride with a clear and beautiful face next to him shows a shy smile.

Cui Yinyin looked at the room full of people in the upper room, feeling uneasy and shy. Seeing this, Chen Zhao gently shook her little hand to show comfort.

Yun Man, who was sitting high up, saw this and winked at Mingzhu. Mingzhu nodded with a smile and left. Soon, Mingzhu came in with a mahogany tray carved with peony and magpie patterns and said to Cui Yinyin: "Elder Young Mistress, go quickly. Here’s to tea.”

Cui Yinyin glanced at Mingzhu gratefully, and saw the Ru kiln teacup with two magpies climbing plum blossoms on the mahogany tray in her hand. She hurriedly walked forward and knelt on the futon embroidered with gold branches, and moved from Mingzhu standing next to her. From the tray in his hand, he reached out and picked up a Ru porcelain tea cup filled with hot tea. He held it with both hands and raised it to Chen Youyu: "Daughter-in-law, serve tea to father-in-law."

Chen Youyu took it with a smile: "Okay, okay."

After Chen Youyu drank, Cui Yinyin took down the second cup, then walked to Yun Man, still kneeling on the futon embroidered with gold and branches in front of Yun Man, and passed some tea forward: "Daughter-in-law, I'm serving tea to my mother-in-law. "

Yun Man nodded, smiled gently, reached out to take the tea cup, brought it to her mouth and took a sip.

After the tea ceremony was over, Yun Man raised her hand, and the maid beside her stepped forward and motioned the brocade box in her hand to Cui Yinyin.

Cui Yinyin felt it was heavy when she received it. Chen Zhao opened it for her and saw that it was a pair of rare white jade bracelets.

Chen Zhao knew that the pair of white jade bracelets were his mother's dowry. Hey, it seemed that his mother was opposed to this marriage, but in fact, his mother valued this marriage very much. Everything must be done to the utmost perfection, so as not to offend the bride or disgrace the in-laws.

My mother is really a sharp-tongued person.
Yun Man said: "Yin Yin, since you have married Zhao'er, you will become the eldest daughter-in-law of my husband Chen, and we will be a family from now on. This brocade box is a meeting gift that the master and I selected for you. I hope you like it." "

Cui Yinyin smiled: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law gave it to me, so my daughter-in-law naturally likes it."

Yun Man knew that none of her sisters-in-law were generous people, so she decided not to give them any gifts. On the contrary, she had already prepared the meeting gifts for her nephews and nieces, and waved to Nanny Li to take them and hand them to Cui Yinyin.

Cui Yinyin had originally prepared a greeting gift for the juniors, but early this morning her mother-in-law sent someone to tell her that she didn't need to prepare a greeting gift.

Therefore, Cui Yinyin asked Zhuo'er to get the greeting gift for her sister-in-law. When Lu and the other sisters-in-law saw that their sister-in-law did not want their greeting gifts, they felt relieved and no longer worried about giving them gifts.

I don't blame them for being worried. The reason is of course that they can't get the usual greeting gifts.

It hurts them to spend a lot of money on a meet-and-greet gift.

In this case, the daughter-in-law will not receive the greeting gifts from the elders, but will have to pay for the greeting gifts from the younger generations out of her own pocket. Therefore, it is better for the daughter-in-law to prepare the greeting gifts for the juniors herself.

Chen Rong also got up early and stood aside looking at his new sister-in-law with a smile.

Today is a festive day. Yun Mangao, who is wearing festive clothes, is sitting on the huanghuali wood Taishi chair. With a smile on his face, he introduces Cui Yinyin to her one by one: "This is your eldest aunt," "That is your third aunt." ," "Over there are your third aunt and fourth aunt."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you recognize your relatives or not.

It's just common courtesy.

Mrs. Lu was the first to smile and said: "Hey, our bride, Zhao'er, is so handsome. If you don't mind our eldest brother's house being poor, you can visit our eldest brother's house more often."

It's just that what he said really didn't sound good to the ears.

Yunman frowned and glared at Lu.

Cui Yinyin turned to Mrs. Lu and said, "Okay." Then she said to Mr. Fang, "Third Aunt." She turned around and called people in turn: "Fourth Aunt," "Fifth Aunt."

Cui Yinyin quickly called everyone and walked up to Chen Rong without waiting for them to say polite words. With bright stars in her eyes, she smiled at Chen Rong and said, "Sister Rong is so beautiful."

Unexpectedly, Cui Yinyin, who likes to dance with guns and sticks, is also a pretty girl. She fell in love with Chen Rong at first sight.

Having said that, if she hadn't been a pretty girl, she wouldn't have had a soft spot for the idiot Gu Fei.

It's no wonder that Cui Yinyin is fascinated by Gu Fei. Cui Yinyin usually gets ostracized when attending banquets. Those women who claim to be ladies are unworthy of being in the company of Cui Yinyin, a woman who wields a knife and a stick.

Therefore, Cui Yinyin either didn't go to the banquet, and if she did, she usually sat in a corner far away from them, drinking tea and eating cakes, being a quail ignored by others.

So Gu Fei just pretended to be nice to Cui Yinyin and let the little girl fall into it.

"Where is it? Sister-in-law Miao Zan." Chen Rong blushed and looked up at his new sister-in-law seriously.

Cui Yinyin was smiling in front of her. Bai Zhe's oval face had a pair of piercing and beautiful red phoenix eyes, and her water-red rhombus lips highlighted her heroic appearance.

What is different from the frail body of ordinary ladies from aristocratic families is that she is full of energy.

Cui Yinyin took the mother-of-pearl rosewood jewelry box from Huo'er, handed it to Chen Rong and said, "This is a small gift from my sister-in-law. I hope my sister likes it."

The jewelry in the box is a gift carefully prepared by Cui Yinyin. She knows that her sister-in-law is a group favorite. Don't be lazy.

"My sister-in-law gave them to me. I like them all."

Yun Man: Some of the sisters-in-law are stingy, and some are short on money. Forget it, I'd better not let them go out as a courtesy.
Cui Yinyin: My mother-in-law is still very generous.
