Hidden golden branches

Chapter 163 Pomp
When Ms. Wang heard that her sister-in-law asked her to share the housekeeping rights with her niece-in-law, the smile on her face suddenly faded and she became reluctant.

However, when she first took charge of the house, she also knew that her stewardship would not last long.

According to the rules, the power of housekeeping rests with the eldest daughter-in-law and the eldest grandson-in-law.

It's just that she has been in charge of general affairs for a long time, and she has forgotten that her stewardship is temporary. One day, it will eventually be returned.

And that day has finally arrived.
Mr. Zhuang raised his head and looked at the copper drain beside the desk. It was getting late and it was time to have lunch.

Originally, the new daughter-in-law was served tea and breakfast, but today I was waiting for a large number of people to serve tea as a greeting gift, and I unknowingly missed the breakfast.

Fortunately, I had some pastries to fill my stomach, so I didn't feel hungry at all.

"Rong'er, you must be hungry. Let's go to the dining hall to have a meal." Mr. Zhuang stood up, took Chen Rong's hand affectionately, and led the way towards the dining hall.

The three sisters-in-law also got up one after another, preparing to go outside to take their children to the dining hall for lunch.

There were five tables in the dining hall, with men and women seated separately, separated by a screen with a mahogany base.

If all the aunts, concubines, and concubines in the house came to have a meal, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be room for ten tables.

Not to mention how many of the gentlemen’s concubines, wives, concubines, and children are there?
Chen Rong sat with Zhuang's three sisters-in-law, and later sisters Ji Wenyu and Ji Wenyuan also sat over.

As soon as they raised their faces, the maids of the Ji family stood in a row. First, one person handed them mouthwash, and another person brought a spittoon. Then the people behind them served the masters in turn to clean their hands and drink tea.

When Chen Rong saw this, he didn't say he was not used to it. But Yun Man didn't like these pomps. Every time you eat, wash your hands.

Just as the banquet started, Ji Yuxian walked in.

Long and tall, full of nobility, it perfectly fits his image.

Everyone was originally very comfortable, but when they saw Ji Yuxian coming, they all became a little cautious.

Ji Yuxian wore a blue robe embroidered with bamboo patterns and crowned with sapphire. His innate dignity was natural. No matter where he went, he was a stunning sight.

Ji Yuxian ignored them, walked over and sat next to Chen Rong. Ji Yuxian smiled sideways, his thin lips curved into a slight arc, his eyes were warm, he lowered his head and asked in a low voice with concern: "Rongrong, are you still used to it today?" At such a distance, the green pine atmosphere lingered. On the tip of the nose, it feels like the spring breeze blowing through the willows, extremely warm.

"Hi, I'm used to it."

With so many people watching, Chen Rong blushed like a little daughter-in-law and responded in a low voice.

In fact, Chen Rong also expected him to come back and have dinner with her. After all, almost all the people in this room were strangers.

When sisters Ji Wenyu and Ji Wenyuan saw Ji Yuxian coming, they consciously gave up their seats and sat with their cousins.

Yesterday and today, the cook, the mother-in-law, and the maids and servants in the kitchen were all so busy that their feet never touched the floor.

The meal variety is extremely rich, including whole chicken, whole duck, whole goose, and whole fish, all in pairs, with a total of twenty dishes, which are perfect. There are also barbecue braised tripe, crispy Qiang preserved eggs, night shrimps, and fresh crab roe. Mushrooms and other double combinations are all delicacies that cannot be called famous. The dazzling array makes Chen Rong amazed.

Too grand!
Chen Rong sighed with emotion. She had always eaten at home when she entered the palace. What kind of delicacies and delicacies had she not eaten before? Not someone who has never seen the world.

If the older generation in An Guo Gong's Mansion is not protected by An Guo Gong, the next generation will not be supported by Ji Yuxian. One day it will all come to nothing.

After lunch, Ji Yuxian nodded to Mr. Zhuang, took Chen Rong's little hand and left Yuan'antang.

The spring breeze blows, and it is a time when the sunlight is very bright. The warm sunlight falls on the body, which is gentle and not dazzling.

An Guogong's mansion is huge, and the courtyard is also extremely spacious. After leaving Yuan'an Hall, there is an open garden, with small bridges, flowing water, and clusters of flowers, which is so beautiful.

The young couple walked up the corridor and soon arrived at Wangrongyuan.

Aunt Zhong was standing outside the gate of the courtyard wall looking towards the road. When she saw the two people coming together, she bowed with a smile on her face and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is back." Ji Yuxian nodded warmly: "Yes."

Chen Rong didn't expect that Grandma Zhong would change her words very quickly. She was still a little uncomfortable hearing this, so she asked with a smile: "Mammy, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, I've eaten." Aunt Zhong agreed repeatedly.

Aunt Zhong stood aside and turned aside to let the two of them go in first.

The servants inside heard the voice and all came over to bow to the two masters: "Slave, I have met the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Ji Yuxian nodded and waved them away.

Holding Chen Rong's little hand and entering the room, Cuizhu and the others in the room quickly bowed and said, "I have met the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

After hearing this, Chen Rong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Okay, Cuizhu, go and prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."

I went to Rong Xitang to serve tea early this morning. Not only were there many people, but they were also running back and forth. I felt sticky and uncomfortable.

Besides, the clothes I'm wearing are too solemn, so I'd better change them to feel comfortable.

Chen Rong didn't notice that he called the wrong person, and followed Ji Yuxian to sit on the wide carved red sandalwood chair.

"Okay." Yu Zhu didn't defend himself and went out to ask someone to boil water and bring it over.

Zhui'er deftly brewed a pot of Ever Spring Silver Leaf and brought it over, placing it on the coffee table between the two of them: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Ji Yuxian picked up the blue Ru kiln ice-cracked porcelain cup, scraped off the floating leaves with the cup lid, and took two slow sips. Putting down the tea cup, he turned to Chen Rong who was drinking tea and said, "Rong Rong, I'm going to the study to handle some official business. I'll be back to have dinner with you in an hour or two. Go to bed early today."

"Well, okay." Chen Rong put down the blue Ru kiln ice-cracked porcelain cup in his hand and nodded.

Hey, Brother Ji is so hard, he doesn’t even have time off during the wedding and holidays.

Being a capable minister of the emperor is not easy. You must never slack off and work diligently.

Chen Rong finished taking a shower and was about to take a nap.

Aunt Sun helped Aunt Zhong handle Chen Rong's dowry, classify and register the dowry and send it to Chen Rong's warehouse. When she came out, she met Qingfeng with a little girl, who was holding a purple lacquer plate in her hand.

Qingfeng held two red sandalwood brocade boxes in his hands and said that the prince asked him to come over and give something to the prince's concubine.

Grandma Sun quickly went in to report back to Chen Rong, and Chen Rong asked Qingfeng to come in.

Qingfeng came in and placed two red sandalwood brocade boxes on the small table in front of Chen Rong, followed by the little maid who also placed the lacquer tray.

Afterwards, the two of them greeted Chen Rong. After the little girl left, Qingfeng cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, these are the Crown Prince's private property."

Chen Rong saw a bunch of keys and a few account books placed in the lacquer tray, and looked at Qingfeng with a little doubt.

Qingfeng explained, "Prince Concubine, this is the key to the Crown Prince's private treasury, and the account books to make a living."

Why did you give her the key to the private vault? Chen Rongqing's eyes were slightly dazed.

If Brother Ji gave all his private property to himself, wouldn't he need to spend money?

Forget it, let’s wait until he comes back.

The meals at Duke Anguo's mansion were so grand that she had to eat at home every time she entered the palace. What kind of delicacies and delicacies had she not tasted before? Not someone who has never seen the world.
