Hidden golden branches

Chapter 161 Tea Serving
Along the way, the servants wearing new clothes in the mansion bowed their heads and bowed their heads when they saw the two newcomers, and then moved away to avoid bumping into the newcomers.

Seeing the legendary imperial concubine from a distance, I felt that she lived up to her name, which was not excessive at all.

They gave their only words of praise to the two newlyweds: a talented man and a beautiful woman, a beautiful couple.

After passing the Chaoshou Veranda and passing through the Crescent Moon Gate, we arrived at the Yuan'an Hall of the Zhuang family, the wife of Duke An Guo.

Mr. Zhuang lived in Yuan'antang when he married, but not in Huihetang, the former wife's Wujin residence.

The fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds crowded around his ears, and Chen Rong was brought into Yuan'an Hall by Ji Yuxian in an uneasy mood.

Yuan'an Hall is located in the middle of the entire backyard of Duke Anguo's Mansion. The yard is four deep, with the front hall and the back building, lush trees, and very grand. Stepping into the hallway, the door with a black lacquered auspicious beast holding a copper ring is open, and the steps are carved with patterns of five bats offering longevity. Pines and cypresses were planted next to it. It sets off a lintel with the word "Songhe" engraved on it. First there is a horizontal hall, and then there is the five-bay main room. The main room is as big as Anguo Gong Ji Linyuan's bandit stone courtyard. There are three side rooms on the left and right, and there are several wing rooms on both sides of the back, with carved railings and painted buildings. , well-proportioned.

Potted green plants and elegant stone scenery can be seen everywhere in the courtyard. The entire main courtyard is open, spacious and magnificent.

There are also several pavilions built at the back of the main courtyard. The two girls born to Mr. Zhuang lived here when they were young. This shows how much Mr. Zhuang doted on his two daughters.

The corridors on both sides were full of women, but no one dared to look at them casually. They only kowtowed and saluted.

Thinking that he heard the commotion, one person took the lead in opening the curtain and came out. She was extremely tall, with slender eyebrows. She was wearing a slim-fitting lake green trousers and a neat pine flower bun. Her whole body was elegant and she was smiling. People bow their knees and salute,
"Eldest brother and sister-in-law are here. Madam is thinking about them deeply and has sent her sister-in-law to welcome them."

Then he took a look at Chen Rong without leaving any trace. It was said that this sister-in-law was born to be a charmer, which made her eldest brother fall in love with her.

This look was indeed worthy of the reputation. She could find no trace after looking at it. Her smile was like a spring breeze and would not make people uncomfortable. She also raised the curtain herself and waited for the two of them to enter.

"Eldest brother and sister-in-law are here. Madam is thinking about them deeply and has sent her sister-in-law to welcome them."

Ji Yuxian just nodded to her and led Chen Rong past her into the house.

Aunt Rong was worried that Chen Rong wouldn't recognize her, so she quickly knelt down and saluted, "Please greet the second young lady."

Chen Rong then knew that the person in front of him was Mrs. Wang, the second master’s daughter-in-law.
Chen Rong smiled at her and followed Ji Yuxian across the threshold.

Past the carved partition behind the front hall, there is a wide open room inside.

Sure enough, the willows and willows were in full bloom, and the room was full of people, like colorful scrolls lined up in front of her sight.

She knew that Ji had many family members, but she never expected that there would be so many. If she had to describe it, it would be like a garden with hundreds of flowers blooming. The men might look like tall and tall trees, some were solemn and solemn, some were heroic, and occasionally they would cover their mouths quietly and smile. , dotted among them, the women are gorgeous and colorful, like the solemn peonies, the bright begonias, the charming peonies, all of them are surrounded by green beads, like heavy petals and steaming clouds.

The most eye-catching man is undoubtedly the man sitting on the main seat. He has a short beard, broad shoulders and broad back, and is majestic. He also has a pair of tiger eyes. When his gaze is swept over, the pressure makes people unconscious. Breathing stagnantly, this person is of course the upright, solemn and solemn Duke of An Guo Ji Lin Yuan.

Ji Linyuan, who was wearing a court dress with white edges and indigo collar, was next to his step-sibling, Mr. Zhuang. Mr. Zhuang had a peaceful smile on his face. He wore a crimson embroidered purple-red double-breasted jacket, a navy blue horse-faced skirt, and a pair of gold blessings and longevity to cover her temples. South Sea bead hoop. Noble and dignified.

When Chen Rong looked at everyone, everyone was looking at them.

The appearance of the Lord of Jiahe County cannot be concealed, he is really beautiful.

Ji Yuxian was wearing a crimson wedding dress. He was tall and slender, with clear eyebrows. He was truly a humble gentleman with dazzling splendor.

In the eyes of old father Ji Linyuan, it was the joy of a wedding. Looking at the little lady next to him who was a little shorter than him, the morning sun was split into pieces by the rhombus lattice window and reflected on her face. Her face was like Warm jade shines, ice skin is bright. What a perfect couple.

Everyone is satisfied and envious.

Everyone smiled when they saw the master of the house acting like this. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, they always looked very friendly.

Mr. Zhuang was also smiling and said, "Rong'er is so beautiful."

As soon as Ms. Zhuang opened her mouth, the room became lively. Ms. Wang was the first to praise, and the others scattered in agreement.

Among them, the sweet and childish voice of Zhuang's youngest daughter Ji Wenyuan is the loudest.

Mr. Zhuang himself had no children, so his daughters would have to rely on this stepbrother for their future marriages. Moreover, she had to rely on him to protect her from birth, old age, illness and death. I have sincere feelings for Ji Yuxian in my heart.

As for this daughter-in-law, she is someone whom the stepson truly loves, and she will treat her sincerely.

Originally, the middle minister of the mansion should be managed by Mr. Zhuang, but Mr. Zhuang was happy to have some leisure time, and she was not willing to worry about that. Otherwise, the second-fang family who was originally in charge of the middle school would not hate her to death! If you make trouble for her, she won't be able to calm down for a day.

After giving birth to two daughters one after another, she never had any more children.

Mr. Zhuang didn't want to worry about this distraction.

The smart Mr. Zhuang also knows that being good to his wife is also good to his stepson. How could she, like other mothers-in-law, give her daughter-in-law a thumbs down when her son gets married and meets his elders?
After Mrs. Zhuang finished speaking, she winked at her personal nanny, and Aunt Li hurriedly went to bring the new daughter-in-law tea to her elders.

The two kowtowed to their elders and served tea.

It was Wang who served tea in person, which showed that Wang had some weight in front of the two elders.

Ji Yuxian kowtowed first, then Chen Rong took the tea from Wang and called after Ji Yuxian: "Father."

"Hey." Ji Linyuan took the tea handed to him by Chen Rong with satisfaction, opened the lid and took two sips.

Afterwards, he took the teacup from Wang and gave it to Zhuang: "Mother."

Mrs. Zhuang smiled and gave her a thick red sandalwood box, "Good boy, mother hopes that you two will get along beautifully and have a baby soon."

This gave birth to it?
Chen Rong's cheeks were as red as a plump fruit, and she was so pretty.

He had no choice but to lower his head and say nothing. The brocade box was heavy in his hand. Chen Rong passed it to Aunt Zhong, who then handed it to Cuizhu behind her.

Chen Rong noticed that many people in the room were looking at the box. Could it be that there was something fishy about it? Chen Rong didn't care. After all, she not only saw a lot of good things, but she also had many valuable rare things there. . She didn't care what expensive jewelry Zhuang gave her!
No matter what Zhuang gives, just go back and seal it.

Chen Rong accepted the gift and served tea to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Then it was his turn to serve tea to his three uncles and aunts.

Chen Rong: Hey, my dear, there are so many people in this room. Hey, there are too many Ji family members.
