Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 126 Playing Cards
It is not her sister-in-law who has the final say on who Jiang Tian marries. Her father-in-law Yong Ninghou and Aunt Zhao have the final say. As brothers and sisters-in-law, they can just add makeup as usual.

Jiang Shunian picked up the teacup, took a few sips, and agreed, "Yes, listen to my wife."

When the couple found out about Jiang Tian, ​​they didn't keep it secret. Jiang Tian didn't go out of his way, and they just had to give her a dowry and get married smoothly.

However, Tang Bingxuan felt that it was better to tell her mother-in-law Qiao and sister-in-law Xiao about this matter so that people could see that nothing happened to Jiang Tian and tarnished the reputation of Yongning Houfu.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Shunian looked at his sleeping wife, got up and dressed, and met Jiang Qi and Jiang Ming who were waiting outside in the study;
The three of them wore night clothes and quietly left the house, running into the dark night and gradually disappearing.

In the early morning, Tang Bingxuan woke up very early after a good night's sleep. She closed her eyes and took a breath. She stretched out her arms and felt that the bed next to her was cold. Obviously, the person next to her was already up.

Tang Bingxuan didn't think much about it, thinking that Jiang Shunian had something to do and got up early today. She slept well last night, and her stomach was growling with hunger early in the morning. She quickly called Zhiqiu, who was keeping watch outside, to wash her up.

Zhiqiu looked at Tang Bingxuan's matching headdress in the bronze mirror and asked doubtfully: "Miss, when did you get up? I didn't hear any movement outside."

Several maids still like to call them "Miss" and "Uncle" when there are no outsiders. As long as they are not messy when addressing them in front of outsiders, Tang Bingxuan doesn't care.

Tang Bingxuan raised her eyelids and said casually: "You slept soundly, and it's hard for your uncle to wake you up."

It seemed that it was still midnight when Jiang Shunian went out. He must have important things to do when he went out so late.

Tang Bingxuan pointed to the jade hairpin that Jiang Shunian had carved for her, and told Zhiqiu to put it in her head, "If you're not going out today, just bring a jade hairpin with you."

"Miss, your dress is too plain. Why don't you add two more beads on the side?"

Zhiqiu picked out a pair of silver magpie bead flowers for Tang Bingxuan to wear. Instantly, her hair looked less plain and monotonous, and instead looked a little playful.

Looking at Zhiqiu's dressing skills with satisfaction, Tang Bingxuan praised: "As expected of my Zhiqiu girl, she has good hands and good eyesight."

Her husband-in-law didn't know what he was busy with, so he left in the middle of the night without even saying hello. Tang Bingxuan felt that she must set some rules for Jiang Shunian.

"It's rare to get up early today. Let's go to the main courtyard to pay our respects to mother and have breakfast by the way."

Tang Bingxuan asked Zhiqiu to go back and have a meal before going on duty, and took Zhichun, who was on duty, to the residence of Mrs. Qiao, the Marquis of Yongning in the main courtyard.

Mother-in-law Qiao was very happy to see Tang Bingxuan coming over, "I also said that today's rice porridge is very fragrant and delicious, so let the kitchen warm it for you;

Wait until you get up before using it. Unexpectedly, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a good understanding of each other, and now we have breakfast together. "

On weekdays, Tang Bingxuan slept until she woke up naturally. She could not have breakfast with her mother-in-law Qiao, who was accustomed to getting up early. Instead, she usually had lunch or dinner with Qiao.
It was a rare occasion to catch up today, and Ms. Qiao was very happy to have her daughter-in-law accompany her to eat. Since Tang Bingxuan came in, Ms. Qiao felt that it was very deserted to eat alone.

For breakfast, Tang Bingxuan usually has a bowl of rice porridge with staple food and side dishes. Mother-in-law Qiao also knows this, so she often thinks about her preferences.

Tang Bingxuan took her mother-in-law Qiao's arm and went directly to the dining room, "Mom is still thinking about her daughter-in-law."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law enjoyed their breakfast happily, and Mrs. Qiao suggested, "Zepei is resting at home today, why not let your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law come over with their children to have some fun together."

Jiang Zepei began his enlightenment at the age of five. He hired a teacher to teach him at home. It was essential to study both civil and martial arts on weekdays. He only had one day off every five days. On weekdays, Mrs. Yongninghou would not let her daughter-in-law come to check out the affairs at dawn and dusk. Whether she came to say hello or not depends on each person's wishes.

Although among the three daughters-in-law, Mrs. Qiao is not very satisfied with the second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mei, she usually tries her best to keep a bowl of water even. Even if she invites the eldest daughter-in-law, she cannot leave the second daughter-in-law behind.

Tang Bingxuan agreed with her mother-in-law and said happily: "What mother said is that it just so happens that the four of us, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, can push Pai Gow and let the maid and the two children play."

People from all over Kyoto, especially women, like to play Pai Gow. The younger members of the family sometimes join the table, so they are basically no strangers to it.

Mrs. Qiao sent a message to the daughter-in-law of the first and second bedrooms, asking them to prepare some money in advance, saying that they were going to play Pai Gow in the main courtyard.

Tang Bingxuan also told Zhichun to go back to the courtyard to find Zhixia, prepare some loose money for her, and see if Jiang Shunian was back.

Mrs. Yongning ordered the kitchen to prepare several plates of snacks and fruits for the two children to sweeten, and then asked Mother Li to find her pair of ivory Pai Gow.

The maid's mother-in-law took Jiang Zepei and Jiang Yuan to play outside. Jiang Zepei is a good brother. They are the only two siblings in the family. They always take care of their younger sister Jiang Yuan to drink water and take a break.

After Mrs. Mei entered the main courtyard to greet her mother-in-law, she complimented Mrs. Qiao with a smile on her face, "Mother is in a very good mood today. I'm afraid we are not here to give you money."

The Crown Prince's wife Xiao also responded with a smile, "No, mother has always been good at Pai Gow."

When Tang Bingxuan married into the Yongning Hou Mansion, it was her first time playing cards with her mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law, and she didn't know how good their card skills were.

Tang Bingxuan also joined in the fun, "I thought playing Pai Gow with my mother was just to pass the time in my spare time. But after hearing what my two sisters-in-law said, I didn't expect it to be a sheep in a tiger's mouth."

When several people heard this, they covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and laughed. For a while, the atmosphere among the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Yongninghou Mansion was very harmonious and harmonious.

The four of them played for a few rounds, and everyone got acquainted with their respective poker skills. I wonder if the three daughters-in-law were all dissatisfied with their mother-in-law, Mrs. Qiao. Anyway, the final winner was only Mrs. Qiao.

Tang Bingxuan held the half-empty silver box and showed it to a few people, "My mother is like a divine help today, and my daughter-in-law is really here to give me money."

My eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Xiao, also opened her box and showed it to a few people, "The third brother and sister are better than me, and my eldest sister-in-law is the one who loses the most."

Mei was the one who lost the least among the three, and it was not easy to open her box to show it to a few people. She only agreed with the two sisters-in-law, "Mother is very lucky today and has won a lot of money."

Although the Xiao family and the Mei family were not of high origin, because they were both families of military commanders, their fathers had a lot of salary from fighting and private treasures obtained on the battlefield;
As the legitimate daughter of the family, she is also married to the prince of the Hou family, so the dowry for both of them is quite generous.

Although several people had large or small dowries, they didn't care about the small amount of money. They just wanted to make their mother-in-law Qiao happy.

"I'm so lucky today. Let's have a banquet at my place at noon. Anyway, at my own home, we, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, can have a good drink."

Tang Bingxuan joked: "We are just waiting for mother's words. We have to get back the money we lost."

Although she said that, Tang Bingxuan still ordered Zhidong to bring a bottle of her treasured plum wine to add color to the rich lunch.
