Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 82 Tea Serving
After Jiang Shunian left, Zhixia and Zhidong went out to ask someone to deliver hot water to the bathroom; the other went to the kitchen to help the maid Jiang Shunian ordered choose Tang Bingxuan's favorite dishes.

The five masters and servants gathered in the new house. Tang Bingxuan invited the four of them to sit down and have something to eat with her. In the past, the master and servants would sometimes eat at the same table in Zhaoxia Court. No one was shy and they hurriedly had dinner together.

After Tang Bingxuan finished her meal, she walked around the room to digest herself, then went into the bathroom and took a fragrant bath. She felt as if she had come to life, and went straight to bed in her pajamas.

"Miss, my uncle hasn't returned to the room yet." Zhichun reminded his young lady not to be too casual on the first day of her marriage.

"It doesn't matter, you are on duty today, and the others can go down and rest."

Tang Bingxuan and Jiang Shunian have been together for more than half a year. Although they don't know everything about each other, they know about each other. Tang Bingxuan is not willing to hide Jiang Shunian as a habit, and she will not feel uncomfortable even on her first day. .

Jiang Shunian was helped back to his new house by Jiang Qi at midnight. His face was red and full of alcohol, and his steps were unsteady. Tang Bingxuan took Jiang Shunian and helped Jiang Shunian to the bed with the help of Zhichun.

Jiang Ming brought over a bowl of sobering soup, and then followed Jiang Qi and left the yard; Tang Bingxuan fed Jiang Shunian the sobering soup, and was speechless looking at Jiang Shunian lying drunkenly on the bed.

There were only the newlyweds in the room. Tang Bingxuan resigned herself to her fate and was about to step forward to help Jiang Shunian change his coat. Jiang Shunian opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and he didn't look drunk at all.

Jiang Shunian raised his head and kissed Tang Bingxuan on the cheek. He saw that Tang Bingxuan's face turned rosier in an instant, whether it was due to the smell of his own wine or the shyness of the kiss. He chuckled and said, "I'll go wash up. You go to bed first and wait." I."

Tang Bingxuan stood beside the bed at a loss. She unexpectedly thought of the fire escape diagram her mother Liu showed to her last night, and her face turned even redder.

By the time Jiang Shunian washed up and returned to the house, Tang Bingxuan was already lying on the bed obediently, with only the parts above her neck exposed, and her whole body was wrapped tightly.

Jiang Shunian forcefully uncovered the brocade quilt tightly wrapped around Tang Bingxuan's body and joked: "My wife is shy."

"No, no."

Jiang Shunian got on the bed, held Tang Bingxuan in his arms, and sighed: "Madam, we are finally married."

Tang Bingxuan heard Jiang Shunian's emotion and responded softly, "Yeah."

“Have you ever heard of a famous saying, madam?”

"what?"

"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

The next day, Jiang Shunian woke up early. He put his head on his hands and lay sideways on the bed. He felt extremely comfortable looking at the sweet sleeping face of his newlywed wife.

She couldn't help but stretch out a finger to trace on Tang Bingxuan's face, from her forehead to her closed eyes, to her upright bridge of nose, and then to her red lips. She leaned over to kiss the sleeping person awake like a mischief.

Tang Bingxuan was sleeping soundly, but someone disturbed her. She put Jiang Shunian away angrily, "Don't let me sleep anymore!"

Jiang Shunian was stunned to please his beloved wife, "Okay, you sleep, you sleep, I won't bother you anymore."

Tang Bingxuan dismissed Jiang Shunian and was about to fall asleep again when she heard Zhiqiu say outside the door: "Miss, it's time to get up."

Tang Bingxuan sat up, glared at Jiang Shunian, put on her underwear and got out of bed, and asked Zhiqiu to come in to help her wash up. Jiang Shunian realized that his prank had annoyed his newlywed wife, so he quickly got up and tidied himself up. When he saw his wife sitting at the dressing table and dressing up, he volunteered to help Tang Bingxuan draw her eyebrows.

"Stop causing trouble, we're going to serve tea later." Tang Bingxuan said coquettishly and stopped Jiang Shunian's attentiveness without giving any face.

For today's tea ceremony, several elders from the Jiang family came from their hometown in Jiangnan. Jiang Shunian couldn't let the elders wait for the couple for a long time, so he obediently went to the dining room to eat first.

The young couple had a simple breakfast. Tang Bingxuan ordered Zhichun and Zhixia to bring the prepared greeting gifts, and a group of people went to the main courtyard hall to serve tea and greetings.

The two entered the main hall. Many people had gathered in the hall, but the elders had not come yet. The tea ceremony did not begin until Marquis Yongning and his wife Qiao arrived.

Marquis Yongning and his wife Qiao were very satisfied with their new daughter-in-law. They just asked them to live a good life and gave the new daughter-in-law a meeting gift.

Mr. Jiang's second wife was away in Yunzhou and could not make it back to drink tea from his niece-in-law, so he asked his second wife, Jin, to drink the tea on his behalf, and also prepared some extra gifts for his niece-in-law.

The elders from the Jiang family were very accommodating when Tang Bingxuan served tea. Whether they were sincere or did not want to offend the Duke of Rongguo behind Tang Bingxuan, we didn't see each other often, so it was fine on the surface.

After serving tea, the elders gave the new daughter-in-law a meeting gift. Except for Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Shuheng and Jiang Shuyao, all the others were younger than Jiang Shunian. Tang Bingxuan asked Zhichun and Zhiqiu to give the new wife a meeting gift one by one.

Next came the greetings from his sons and nephews. Jiang Shuheng's son Jiang Zepei, who is 7 years old this year, saluted Tang Bingxuan like a little adult, "Hello, third aunt."

"Pei Ze is so good." Tang Bingxuan patted her eldest nephew on the shoulder and told Zhichun to give Jiang Zepei a meeting gift.

Jiang Zepei is the kind of kid who looks like a tiger-headed kid at first glance. His eyes are clear and flawless, and he is very endearing.

Tang Bingxuan had met Jiang Zepei several times before, and she played well with Tang Wenzhu's four children. However, because Tang Bingxuan came in and became his third aunt, she was a bit younger than her new friend.

Fortunately, Jiang Zepei is not a child who likes to get entangled. He calls her Third Aunt Tang Bingxuan, and she still calls her by her first name with her friends.

"Third aunt is so beautiful, like a fairy sister." Jiang Shuyao's daughter Jiang Yuan said confidently.

The second wife, Mrs. Mei, took her daughter's hand and said enthusiastically to Tang Bingxuan, "Yuan'er really likes the third younger sister."

Compared with Mr. Jiang's wife Mei, Tang Bingxuan prefers to be with Mr. Jiang's wife Xiao.

However, Mrs. Mei brought her daughter to express her closeness, so Tang Bingxuan smiled at Jiang Yuan and touched the little girl's bud, "I also like the cute Yuan'er."

A lengthy tea ceremony lasted for almost a whole morning before it ended. Mrs. Yongning Hou asked the young couple to go back to the courtyard to have a meal and rest, and then come back to the main courtyard tomorrow to pay their respects.

Tang Bingxuan just married into Yongninghou Mansion yesterday and was not familiar with the layout of the courtyard of Yongninghou Mansion. She could only follow Jiang Shunian back to the courtyard to have lunch and then go out for a walk after a nap to familiarize herself with the layout of the house.

On the way back to the courtyard, Jiang Shunian held Tang Bingxuan's hand under his wide sleeves and explained one by one who owned the courtyards he passed and what they did. "There are many sons and daughters in our house, and the courtyards have not been named. You want to Don’t you want to get one for our yard?”

Jiang Shunian had a general understanding of the layout of the Rongguo Palace. Each courtyard had a name. The courtyard where Tang Bingxuan lived was called Zhaoxia Courtyard. Jiang Shunian noticed it when he was welcoming his bride, and then he thought about asking his wife to give their courtyard a name too. .
