food queen

Chapter 788

Mrs. Xie was helped back to the house by Wei Xiyue, and even her stooped waist straightened a lot.

After entering the door, the old lady sat down first, and Wei Xiyue took the tea cup from the maid's hand and handed it to the old lady Xie with both hands, smiling: "The granddaughter-in-law has offered tea to the old lady, and I wish the old lady a longevity than Nanshan." She is The princess, of course, doesn't need to kneel, just like offering tea with both hands, the old lady Xie has to stand up quickly.

"Sit down quickly, old lady, and drink the tea from grandson's daughter-in-law first. Later, grandson's daughter-in-law will give you a meeting gift." Wei Xiyue smiled.

"Oh, this is really killing me! This granddaughter-in-law offers tea, I should give it as a meeting gift!" Mrs. Xie smiled from ear to ear. This new granddaughter-in-law is really too sensible. I once felt guilty for opposing this marriage. Such a good girl, with a good family background and a deep background, is so sensible and obedient. If she didn't really like her grandson, how could she do this?

After drinking the tea, Mrs. Xie immediately ordered her personal maid: "Quick, bring the things up!"

The eldest maid hurriedly came forward with a tray covered with red jokes and knelt down in front of Mrs. Xie.The old lady Xie took off a ring from her hand and put it on the tray. Fang took Wei Xiyue's hand and said with a smile: "This is a gift for the princess, it's too simple. Don't be disgusted with it, princess. !"

Wei Xiyue hurriedly smiled and said: "The old lady is not allowed to say such things. How many blessings and longevity are attached to your things, Xiyue is satisfied if she can get one. Don't dare to be greedy."

The old lady Xie was immediately elated, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

Wei Xiyue turned to look at Ning Shi again, and Ning Shi presented a mahogany box with her.

"Old lady, this is a gift specially requested for the old lady when the granddaughter-in-law goes to the palace to pay her respects to the empress after she gets married." With that said, Wei Xiyue opened the red box and took out a bright yellow embroidered dragon and phoenix from inside. Silk scroll.

Once Mrs. Xie, Xie Chengtang and others saw this, who would dare to sit still?All of them hurriedly stood up, straightened their clothes and knelt down on the ground.

"Old lady, this is the decree of the empress who granted you the order of the fourth rank. I will not read it out. The empress's original words are that I have the title of princess on my body. It’s hard to avoid the national ceremony in front of me, but this edict can’t be sealed casually, so I have to make the old lady a four-rank edict, so that in the future, our family and girls can sit together to eat and talk.”

After listening to the old lady Xie, she hurriedly kowtowed and said, "My concubine thanks the empress for your kindness."

"Get up, old lady." Wei Xiyue stretched out his hand to help old lady Xie up.

If it is said that Wei Xiyue's respect for Mrs. Xie made everyone in the room heave a sigh of relief, then this Queen's Order, which Jin granted Mrs. Xie the fourth rank, pushed the whole atmosphere to a climax. No, the people in this yard, from the old lady Xie to Xie Qionglou's daughter-in-law Li to the maids and women who are rough outside, are all smiling, rushing to tell the old lady that it is the good news of the fourth rank .

Xie Chengtang also took a moment to go out, and told the housekeeper: Everyone in the mansion has double red envelopes, one is to reward everyone for their hard work for the second young master's marriage, and the other is to celebrate the old lady's promotion to the second young master. Four grades of imperial orders.

And at this time, the most uncomfortable person is naturally Liu Shi.

Liu Qingmei sat in front of Liu's couch with a bowl of brown rice and barley soup, looked at her gloomy face, thought for a while before saying: "Auntie, my father wrote a letter the day before yesterday, saying that he is not in good health. It's time to go back and serve for a few days."

"Hey..." Liu Shi leaned on the pillow and sighed helplessly.

Liu Qingmei said these words because she didn't intend to really leave. She felt that her aunt needed her to stay by her side at this time, so she would definitely keep her.But she didn't expect that after she said this, Liu Shi didn't keep her, but just sighed faintly.

"Aunt, then I'll ask the servant girl and nanny to pack up." Liu Qingmei couldn't get off the tiger at this time, so she had to keep talking.

"That's all! Look at the situation at home. If you stay any longer, you're asking for trouble. You can go back and live for a while, and I'll take you back when I slowly figure out a way." Liu said helplessly.

"Yes, Qingmei listens to Auntie." Liu Qingmei sighed silently, she could see that Liu Shi was just perfunctory to herself, the previous promises had come to naught at this time, so what about the future?
Liu Shi slowly closed her eyes, unwilling to say another word.Regarding her niece's thoughts, Liu Shi knew very well in her heart, and she also knew that this matter was also her own heart disease, but now the little princess of the Wei family has entered the door, and as soon as she entered the door, she gave herself a blow, and she didn't even face her. Lu only patted a servant in front of her and made herself submissive, but turned around, as a mother-in-law, she had no reason to reason.

"Auntie rest well, Qingmei retreats first." Seeing that Liu Shi didn't want to say anything more, Liu Qingmei put the medicine bowl in her hand aside, stood up, blessed her, and turned to go outside.

Liu Shi slowly opened her eyes and watched her slender figure disappear behind the curtain, Fang sighed slowly.

It seems impossible to make the niece a daughter-in-law.Mrs. Liu leaned on the pillow and thought silently, in this family, she was obviously the lowest in status, neither the mother-in-law above nor the daughter-in-law who just entered the door paid her much attention.Before, she was angry with her mother-in-law, but now, she has to bear the anger of both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

If ignoring Liu's aunt and nephew's unhappiness, the entire Xie family was very happy on this day, even more lively than yesterday's wedding.

Xie Chengtang, who was originally holding his heart, put his heart into his stomach when Wei Xiyue sat in front of the old lady and accompanied him to tell jokes. Xie Chengtang, Xie Qionglou and Xie Yuyu also sat beside him, smiling all the time.Because Xie Qionglou's wife, Mrs. Li, was worried about Mrs. Liu who was unwell, she quietly sent someone to make soft food for Mrs. Liu. Others seemed to forget that Mrs. Liu was still in this family.

The old lady Xie didn't go too far. After lunch, she said that she was tired and couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to sleep, so she asked Wei Xiyue and Xie Yuyu to go back to their room.Wei Xiyue took the opportunity to say that she wanted to go to the small courtyard in the east where she married as a dowry.The old lady Xie smiled and said: "The rules in this house are not so strict. The princess can go anywhere she wants, and she can live in her own courtyard if she wants to. There is no need to say anything specifically."

Even though Wei Xiyue took Xie Yuyu out of Xie's house and went to her small house, she stayed there that night, and she simply didn't come back.

In Liu's view, this is undoubtedly another challenge - the new daughter-in-law didn't even ask her mother-in-law on the second day after she entered the house, she came to show off in the morning, and took her son to live in her own small courtyard at night up!

With a sound of "snap!", Mrs. Liu threw the medicine bowl handed over by the servant girl to the ground, and growled angrily, "Which family's rule is this!"

The maid who brought the medicine was so frightened that she took two steps back and didn't dare to answer.Xie Chengtang happened to enter the door, looked at the broken porcelain on the ground, frowned and said, "Aren't you sick? Why are you still so angry?!"

"It's better if I die!" Shi Liu said angrily.

Xie Chengtang sneered and said, "You are clearly trying to kill yourself!"

"You..." Liu Shi choked up suddenly, the soreness in her stomach swelled infinitely, but she couldn't say anything, it only turned into tears.

Xie Chengtang looked at his wife, and thinking about the relationship he had had for so many years, he couldn't bear to blame him too much for a while, so he just sat beside him and remained silent.

Mrs. Liu cried for a while, and after the pain and grievance in her heart eased, Fang shook the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Now that my two sons have grown up and started their own families, I am useless in this family. If the master doesn't like me, give me a divorce letter and send me away."

Xie Chengtang sighed: "You're talking nonsense again! What are you doing with these useless things all day? If you have the spirit, you might as well take good care of your body and take care of these messy things at home."

"Am I still qualified to take care of these things at home now? I wasn't qualified in the first place. The old lady is in charge of all the big things in the family. Now that I have a princess, it's even less my turn." Liu snorted. .

"The princess and the second child have moved to the East Bieyuan tonight! You are still moaning here. If you are not feeling well, you can take care of it for a few days. If there is nothing wrong, go to the old lady to say hello tomorrow morning. Let's go." After Xie Chengtang finished speaking, he got up and left.

Liu looked blankly at her husband's back, and forgot to cry for a while.

A woman, from the moment she was born, was doomed not to be able to decide everything by herself, obey her father at home, obey her husband when she got married, and obey her son after her husband died.Liu first lost her son's heart, and then her husband's heart as well.Suddenly she didn't know what to do next.

Almost a sleepless night.When she woke up the next morning, Liu's face was haggard and her eye sockets were sunken, as if she had really suffered a serious illness.When Liu Qingmei got up early in the morning to greet her aunt, she was shocked when she saw her appearance, and immediately asked if she wanted to call for a doctor immediately.

"No doctor can cure my disease, Qingmei, you can do my makeup for me." Liu Shi sighed long.

"Auntie, you should take a good rest when you look like this." Liu Qingmei persuaded in a low voice.

"Rest again, I should move out of this house." Liu Shi stood up holding Liu Qingmei's arm, walked slowly to the dressing table and sat down, looking at her haggard and old face, she suddenly remembered When she first married into Xie's family, she was also at the same age as a flower, and she still clearly remembered the infatuated look in Xie Chengtang's eyes when she looked at her at that time, but after more than twenty years, everything has changed.

"Aunt, do you think this hairstyle is good?" Liu Qingmei's voice interrupted Liu's thoughts.

Liu raised her head and looked in the mirror again. Her messy hair had been combed into a dignified bun, and a few jewels and emeralds were worn on her temples without being ostentatious, which can be said to be just right.

"Let's go, you and aunt go to greet the old lady." Liu Shi nodded in satisfaction, stood up while supporting the dressing table.

"Yes, Qingmei is leaving, and she should say goodbye to the old lady." Liu Qingmei replied in a low voice.
