Chapter 149 Wake up in the morning and evening, tea ceremony!

In the main courtyard of Prince Rong's Mansion, apart from the landscape, there are east and west wing rooms, and side rooms to embrace the summer... There are one or twenty rooms, and all of them look beautiful.However, as masters, Rong Wang and Xu Jifei naturally had to wait in the main house.

Leading the way in front of the bushes of flowers, he pushed open the gate surrounded by exquisitely carved wooden panels. Luo Chuchen looked up, and the first thing he saw was a large screen with a red sandalwood shelf and a marble bottom.Turning around the screen, there is a large rosewood case, on which there are various celebrity calligraphy and dozens of precious inkstones, but it looks brand new, as if it is just a decoration and has never been used at all.

On the other side of the table, there is a big Ru kiln flower pouch, filled with white chrysanthemums that look like crystal balls. The chrysanthemums are stained with dew, which seems to be freshly picked.

Next to the desk table is a pear-wood Duobao Pavilion. On the pavilion, there are landscape carvings, feathers and flowers, collections, Bogu, or Wanfu Wanshou. .There are also various kinds of breaks in the middle, or the sky is round, or the sunflower and banana leaves, or the chain of half-walls.It is really full of flowers and clusters, and it is exquisitely carved.

In addition, on the wall on the right side, a white jade chime is hung on a paint stand, and a small hammer is hung beside it.Under the hammer is the Babu bed with a tender pink gauze tent embroidered with hundreds of sons and blessings inside and outside. The red brocade quilt on the bed is embroidered with various patterns representing "many children, many blessings" on the quilt with gold and silver double threads.Such as grapes (this product has many seeds), pomegranate (still many seeds)... really have everything that one expects to find.

Even on the head of the bed, there are carved Guanyin and two dolls, one male and one female... This shows how strong Concubine Xu Ji's desire for children is.

The furnishings in the room... can be said to be unparalleled in wealth and rare in the world, but from Luo Chuchen's point of view, it looks a bit crowded, and quite rustic.According to Shen Cangyu, King Rong does not live in the main house now, but lives alone in the study in the front yard every night, so the current style of the main house... is obviously Xu Jifei's taste!
——I have to say, I really don’t like it!
Following the maid into the inner hall, turning around the screen, Luo Chuchen followed Shen Cangyu, raised his head slightly, and from the corner of his eye, he saw two people sitting upright on the pear flower wooden chairs in the upper hall.

A man and a woman, left and right.The man among them - looking at about 36, seven, wearing a moon-white gown, black hair tied up with a white jade crown, with an ebony hairpin inserted horizontally, very simple attire.Sword-browed and star-eyed, with a gentle temperament, he seems to be a very easy-going personality, but his body is quite thin, his face is pale, and he seems to be suffering from illness.

As for the woman, she looks about the same age as the man, with plain features, high eye corners, slightly lowered lips, a harsh expression on her face, full of gold and jade decorations, and a red princess dress embroidered with gold thread peonies all over her body. , Even the pistils are made of transparent glass beads.She wears a white jade belt around her waist, gold-threaded shoes on her feet, and a large oriental bead dangling from the toe of the shoe, as if she is afraid that people will not know that she has status and silver.

There is no need to go into detail, knowing that the identities of these two people are undoubtedly Luo Chuchen's parents-in-law——Prince Rong and Concubine Xu Ji.

After sneaking a second glance, she found that Rong Wang was looking at her with gentleness and kindness, but Xu Jifei had gouged her twice with her eyes, Luo Chuchen pursed the corners of his mouth, and stepped forward together with Shen Cangyu.

Seeing them like this, a servant girl came forward, respectfully put the two brocade balls on the ground, and whispered: "I would like to offer a toast to the young grandma!" Be there for them.

"No." Luo Chuchen and Shen Cangyu responded, Shi Shiran stepped forward, lifted his clothes and knelt down, about to reach out to take the teacup!However, the moment they knelt down, the expressions of both of them were obviously startled.

Afterwards, they looked at each other very subtly, with helplessness in their eyes, wry smiles and slight sarcasm.

In fact, under the knee, the instant tingling feeling is too obvious! !The elder son and the young mistress came to invite Ann and serve tea, but it was just a formality!Logically, it should be a double layer of cotton pads, but now that the ones under their knees, Luo Chuchen dares to swear to the lamp, it is definitely two thin layers of cloth... Even if there is cotton inside, it must not be more than one finger thick! !
By the way, the dignified Concubine Rong, if you tell it—even in the capital, she is also a famous number one person. When embarrassing her stepson and stepson and his daughter-in-law... Luo Chuchen is serious about using such a cheap and useless little trick. Convinced her!
What can I do if I kneel on the floor? It's not about worshiping the ancestors and offering sacrifices to the sky. It takes hours to kneel.It's just serving tea, at most half a stick of incense, except for the pain in the knees?How else?

"My daughter-in-law has met her father and mother." After they 'vomited' each other with Shen Cangyu's eyes.Luo Chuchen collected his thoughts, raised his hand to take the teacup from the servant girl's hand, raised it respectfully to King Rong, and said, "My daughter-in-law invites my father to drink tea."

"Good boy, don't be too polite." King Rong quickly took it, put it on his lips and sipped it twice, then took out a sandalwood box from his sleeve with a gentle face, and handed it over with a smile, "This is the box left by Cang Yu's mother." It was originally said to be given to the daughter-in-law, but she... ahem, let Chener keep it."

"Daughter-in-law, thank you, Father." Luo Chuchen took the box with both hands respectfully, glanced at it curiously, and then kowtowed his thanks.

"Hehe, that's the jewelry that Cangyu's mother gave as a dowry—the Tianbao Purple Jade Crown. It is a royal treasure from the previous dynasty. It is said that it was given by her natal mother, and it was your grandmother." Seeing Luo Chuchen's curious appearance, Rong Wang smiled lightly Explaining, he took out the purse from his bosom and handed it over, "The jewelry is left by your mother, and my father... I don't have such good things, so I can only give you some things for your pocket money, Chen'er don't want to dislike it." .”

"Daughter-in-law doesn't dare." Luo Chuchen shook his head hurriedly, took the purse, felt the thickness of it, and said with a smile: "How can daughter-in-law despise such a generous pocket money given by the king? It's too late to be happy!"

Because Shen Cangyu said that his father was very good-natured and not rigid at all, Luo Chuchen was more casual.

"That's good." Sure enough, seeing his daughter-in-law getting close to him, Rong Wang was very happy, his smile became more gentle, and even his eyes became more loving. He smiled and raised his hand to Luo Chuchen, and he signaled his daughter-in-law to get up.

In Prince Rong's mansion, the population is very small, not counting the excluded person Xu Jifei, only Rong Wang and Shen Cangyu.Moreover, because King Rong was feared by Emperor Yongping, the clans also excluded them, and the relationship between relatives was very bad.

Because of the death of Concubine Rong in the early years, even the biological mother, Empress Dowager Pei, Prince Rong was also cold-hearted. She rarely left the palace, and only entered the palace once during the holidays. It can be said that she lived very lonely.

Now, someone has entered the family, and he is the only one loved by the only son. Thinking about the soft and cute little granddaughter who will come soon in the future, the little grandson, the way Wang Rong looks at Luo Chuchen, is almost dripping with tenderness. coming.

"Thank you, father, for your kindness." Luo Chuchen was naturally happy that his father-in-law was easy to get along with.He got up and stood aside, watching Shen Cangyu kowtow to Queen Rong.The two turned around together and knelt down in front of Concubine Xu.

'Boom', another sound, Luo Chuchen frowned slightly, only felt that his knee really hurt a little!Speaking of which, she just had her bridal chamber yesterday, and she was already "tossed" by Shen Cangyu enough, so she had to get up early today to kowtow and serve tea.This is nothing, a newlywed has to go through it.But... the knee hit the stone slab, although the trick was cheap, it really hurt!

Perhaps it was because of 'weak legs', Luo Chuchen's voice was quite crisp when he knelt... There were not many people in the main room, and the scene of offering tea was more serious, and everyone was quite quiet.Her voice was not only heard by Shen Cangyu, who was kneeling beside her, but even King Rong himself.

Frowning slightly, King Rong looked down at the thin cushion under his son and daughter-in-law's knees, then looked sideways at Concubine Xu, his eyes were full of helplessness and disgust, and he slightly opened his lips, as if he wanted to say something.But Concubine Xu immediately turned her head away, with an uncomfortable look on her face, but she turned to Luo Chuchen from the corner of her eyes, full of viciousness and resentment.

What's the matter with her?Luo Chuchen shrugged, "If you dare to do it, you must dare to do it."Shen Cangyu is a big man, he doesn't care about such small tricks, and it's not easy to fight back.But she has no such scruples!
When entering the government for the first time, standing on the sidelines is the most important thing.She is married to Shen Cangyu, and she is a natural descendant. King Rong also hates Concubine Xu... Even if Concubine Xu doesn't bother her, she still has to find a way to 'do it' on her own initiative, not to mention that this one is bullying her!

Gently rubbing her knees, she secretly cast a glance at King Rong, and said in her heart: Come on, father, look over here and see how your wife bullies me! !She is a big bad whore! !So in the future, no matter how the 'war' between me and her ends, no matter how miserable she is, you must stand by my side... I was just forced to resist.

"Daughter-in-law pays respects to concubine mother." Eyelids drooping slightly, brows slightly frowned, Luo Chuchen held up the teacup and handed it to Concubine Xu, with a bit of pain in his voice that could not be ignored, "Concubine mother, please drink some tea." She low voice.

"Mother and concubine are well, son is polite." Kneeling beside her, Shen Cangyu smiled softly.Speaking of, Xu Jifei's small tricks, since he was ten years old, he has basically ignored them.However, he didn't care about some flesh and blood pain at all, and he didn't bother to fight back. He just waited until he became impatient and became a 'big' one.It's just...hehe, Chen'er's carefulness made him feel very interesting.

In other words, the back house is indeed the world of the women's family members, and he, a big man, really can't play around with these little schemes.

"My son is too polite." Sitting high on the head, Xu Jifei closed her eyelids, half-looking at the cheap son and cheap daughter-in-law below her.I just feel that the fire does not hit one place.

Speaking of which, Xu Jifei is only in her thirties this year.It has been 17 years since she married into Prince Rong's Mansion in the fifteenth flower season.Look at her hair full of pearls and emeralds, gold thread and silver clothes, how noble and luxurious she looks.But at the beginning, she was just an ordinary pregnant girl.

My father was a junior official of the sixth grade, and he had never lived in the capital except for the imperial examination.As for the draft, it was Xu Jifei's first time in Beijing, and she had seen the prosperity of the capital, high-end courtyards, rich families... Such an enviable scene, but Xu Jifei never dared to think that she would stay here.

Although she knew that her family was related to Duan Xiurong in the palace, but it was only a distance of eight thousand miles, and she had to follow the ancestral genealogy to find out what kind of blood relationship it was.Her so-called draft for entering the palace was just a formality, and she was afraid that people would be selected in the first round... Xu Jifei was prepared for this.

It's just that she never expected that she would become a dignified prince and concubine after three choices and two choices.

That is the prince and concubine of the clan, who can be hereditary, as long as the Jin Dynasty does not fall, how many lifetimes of wealth and glory!Faced with such a huge pie falling from the sky, Concubine Xu was immediately stunned.Especially, after marrying into the mansion, seeing the unparalleled King Rong... even though this person is a full ten years older than him, Concubine Xu Ji couldn't help but 'plant' her head in.

——She fell in love with King Rong, from the first moment she saw him, she was unreserved and wholehearted.

It's just that love and love are completely different.Some people's love is 'complete', some people's love is 'protection', some people's love is 'together', and some people's love is 'exclusive'.

Feeling very jealous of Princess Bai who once possessed Prince Rong and who still has his "missing" until now, Concubine Xu Ji didn't think that she was the one who came later, and only hated with all her heart.Even, because Princess Bai had passed away, she transferred this hatred to Princess Bai's son——Shen Cangyu.

After several times of tossing and tossing, until the little child was tossed and fell ill, she was full of satisfaction and only thought of giving birth to their child with King Rong... Xu Jifei never thought that her methods would be discovered by others.

After all, she was only 15 years old at that time, so all the methods were taught by the nuns who were rewarded by the cousin in the palace. and was confused by her appearance, she kept it a secret for so long, and she didn't find out until Shen Cangyu fell ill.

Looking down at Shen Cangyu who seemed to be respectful, but in fact his eyes were full of disdain, Xu Jifei's face was gloomy.Once, but only once! ! It has been 17 years, and King Rong has never forgiven her. Although she has never married a concubine, she has never slept with her. She is already in her thirties, but she has never had a child. What the old woman said... Hehe, do you think she doesn't know?
Call her a "hen that doesn't lay eggs" every day.Some vicious ones would say that she 'occupies the latrine and doesn't shit'.Relying on Rong Wang's gentle temper and good temper, he will rule the sky and the earth. If he can't give birth to himself, he will be jealous and won't let others live. He is the head of the real villain, and he has blinded talents like Rong Wang in vain.

Those women are just jealous of her! !She and Rong Wang are a match made in heaven, male and female... Every time she hears such words, Xu Jifei can't help being secretly proud while her teeth itch with hatred.

Although her family background is not obvious, she is an only daughter, and she is very loved by her parents. She was held in the palm of her family since she was a child, and she has developed a temperament of high self-esteem.Ever since she married Queen Rong, she thought that she was absolutely worthy of him. In Prince Rong's mansion, no matter who she was to, she was superior to everyone, even if she was caught murdering her own son...but it was just an admission of mistake at the time, and it was inappropriate after getting 'forgiveness' from King Rong It's over.

For Shen Cangyu, a son, she deeply hated and despised her son, and often used her status as a stepmother to reprimand and discipline him, but Shen Cangyu considered himself a man and refused to talk to her.

Of course, he didn't respond verbally, but behind the scenes he used many means to deal with Concubine Xu's confidants and her family.But it's a pity, maybe his methods are too hidden, Xu Jifei didn't notice at all, she simply thought it was her bad luck!

Regarding this, Shen Cangyu also said: "..."

"The concubine Shizi is so polite. She came to pay her respects so early, and she is very filial to my mother." Xu Jifei looked down at Luo Chuchen, not reaching out to take the teacup at all, she just spoke with a smile on her face .

What I said... At first glance, it seemed to be a compliment, but Luo Chuchen was stupid ten thousand times with that eccentric tone and rigid and indifferent expression, and he would not think that he was sincere, "I dare not accept my mother's praise As a junior, daughter-in-law should be filial to her mother." She raised her head, smiled very submissively and considerately, and passed the teacup in her hand forward again, "Please drink tea with mother," she said again.

"Hehe. Tea?" Seeing Luo Chuchen's face, Xu Jifei's eyes almost burst into flames.Originally, she only prepared interlayer cotton pads for her "Xiamawei".The intention is naturally to let the daughter-in-law know who is calling the shots in this Nuo Da Rong Wang Nuo! !
Even though she married the only son of King Rong, the famous eldest son, she was still the only mistress in the mansion, the one who dared to treat his only son-in-law harshly in front of King Rong, and she was Luo Chuchen's mother-in-law.

——So, don't try to compete with her for the housekeeping power, honestly, her subordinates are obedient.

Anyway, I'm in my 30s, and although I'm not very smart, Concubine Xu still knows the common method of "slapping a sweet jujube" in ancient and modern China and abroad.Let people kneel on a hard mat, and get soft words, one mouthful of 'mother'.She should have taken Luo Chuchen's tea, smiled at him and gave him a 'changing gift', and said a few words that were neither soft nor hard, so as to consolidate the effect of standing up...

However, looking at Luo Chuchen's peerless beauty face.Xu Jifei's cheeks were hot, and her chest was burning with anger, she just wanted to slap her hard a few times, how could she get a 'smiling face'?
Turning her head slightly, she looked at King Rong. People in their 40s and turning [-] are more than a round older than her.But looking at it now, it seems that she is younger than her, and the two of them went out and said that she was Rong Wang's sister, and some people might believe her.

He lowered his head again to see the young couple kneeling on the ground, the cheap son is handsome and rare in the sky, and the cheap daughter-in-law is unparalleled in the world, and matched with a middle-aged handsome man like Rong Wang, the family of three is well established Such a style of painting made Concubine Xu look like a 'little monster', as if her genes had been mutated! !

Of course, speaking with conscience... Is Concubine Xu really so ugly that it's beyond description?That's not true. !Her appearance is nothing more than mediocre, neither good-looking nor ugly, just ordinary people.Even in the blooming season of young age, there is still a bit of moving color.

However, since they got married, Prince Rong and his son have been compared with each other for their looks, and their lives have not been going well. They are obviously younger than King Rong by ten years, but Concubine Xu Ji looks older than him .

In other words, Xu Jifei's frequent targeting of Shen Cangyu was not entirely because she thought he was in the way and wanted to move a place for her son in the future.There are also reasons for not being used to his appearance.

Who made Shen Cangyu—except for her face like King Rong, her brows and eyes look like her own mother, Princess Bai, who has completely passed away!Every time Concubine Xu Ji saw this stepson, the image of her first spouse, 'sister', Princess Bai, would involuntarily appear in her mind.I can't control it at all, imagine how well-matched King Rong and Princess Bai are, what kind of fairy couple...

Even though he thinks highly of himself, he feels that he is unparalleled in beauty and worthy of King Rong.But the truth... Hehe, bronze mirrors will always exist!Looking up at the faces of Rong Wang and Shen Cangyu, and looking down at her own face, she showed her self-confidence, and Concubine Xu was too embarrassed to say in public that she and Rong Wang were very compatible in appearance...

Deep in my heart, I have a very low self-esteem, and I am often ridiculed by the noble ladies in Beijing and China.Concubine Xu Ji is very jealous towards women with outstanding looks.

Usually, few of the maids in her yard look good, and to set off her 'average', they are all crooked.As long as there are a few 'human-like' ones, as long as they are clear-headed, for example—the big maid Hua Cong.They all acted like they were playing their lives, and they dressed themselves up in "red and green" just to please Concubine Xu, so that they could live in "safety" in the main courtyard.

Therefore, in the main courtyard, at this moment, looking at Luo Chuchen, who was originally a celestial beauty, but now has a little bit of a ladylike charm because of the bridal chamber, Xu Jifei should be jealous like blood, and the evil is on the verge of courage. Forget about getting off your horse, 'Slap me and give me a jujube'.Looking at the tea that was handed over by those slender and slender fingers.She gritted her teeth, her brain became hot...

She said in her mouth, "Good boy, you are really filial." She reached out to pick it up, but halfway through it, as if Luo Chuchen hadn't handed it steadily, she shook her hand, and a cup of hot tea was aimed straight at Luo Chuchen's. face gone! !
