Bestow glory to the king

Chapter 218 The Duke’s Family (3)
The maidservant brought tea, and put cushions in front of Shen Xi and Xie Yu. Xie Yu took the teacup, glanced at Shen Xi, and met his cold eyes. His heart moved, and he quickly suppressed his emotions. Under the guidance of the nanny, Serve tea to the old lady.

The old matriarch took a symbolic sip from the teacup handed over by the two, then glanced at the faces of Xie Yuan and Shen Xi, and then put the teacup on the tray beside him, and gave it to Xie Yuan from the side. Xie Yuan gave a pair of white jade bracelets and two glittering golden bu Yaos, and asked the bride to spread the flowers and leaves for her husband's family, and Xie Yuan obediently responded.

Then there is the Duke of the State, Shen Ye.

When the two knelt down in front of him, Xie Meng clearly felt the corners of Shen Ye's mouth twitching, as if he was sneering, remembering that he decided to let Shen Xi marry her in, maybe he wanted to humiliate Shen Xi, combined with this reason, Xie Yuan didn't have a good feeling for him.

After serving the tea, Shen Ye didn't say a word, just gave the reward to them, and then leaned on the grand teacher's chair, silent.

Next came several wives. Shen Xi was the eldest son of the eldest son, so he had no reason to kneel down to these wives, so he only offered them tea. I was rewarded with a set of big pearl heads, and Xie Meng accepted them one by one, and thanked them with a salute. In addition to the second wife, Changsun, and the third wife, Wan, the remaining two wives, one is the wife of the seventh master, and the other is the ninth master. His wife, they drank Xie Yu's tea and gave some rewards.The Seventh and Ninth Masters of the Shen family are concubines, and there is a reason why these two wives are qualified to sit here today and wait for Xie Meng to serve tea, because among the concubines, the Seventh and Ninth Masters have both passed the examination of the Jinshi He has a reputation, and now he also has official positions outside his body. From this point of view, the Shen family does have the confidence of a first-class family. Except for a first-rank Duke who has not been demoted, the second master and the third master are both in Beijing. There are the Seventh Master and the Ninth Master who are released outside, so no matter how you look at it, the Shen family's prominence is a must.

After paying respects to Madam, there are some aunts and sisters-in-laws from other families who had a banquet in the Duke's mansion yesterday, and those who are still staying in the mansion today must be close relatives. Xie Meng recognized them one by one, Then I went to the next place for the aunts. To the aunts, Xie Yu, the eldest daughter-in-law, does not need to offer tea, but Xie Yu will not see you up and down in the mansion from now on, so you still have to go up to get acquainted.

Aunt Lian and Aunt Lan had already been to her wedding room yesterday, and they were introduced by that fat Nanny Sang. Xie Meng nodded to them, and both of them got up to return the salute. After them was Aunt Qin. She is the aunt of the third master, and she must be favored to appear here. Aunt Qin is charming, but her body is thin, her hands are extremely beautiful, and she doesn't look very old, but she is about the same age as Xie Meng. People nod in salute.Sister Sang also introduced the rest of the aunts one by one, and Xie Meng recognized them one by one.

In just one morning, Xie Yuan was almost led around, and finally recognized all the people in the hall, Shen Ye called Shen Xi to go to the study to talk, Xie Yuan stayed here alone with the old lady, To deal with the female relatives, it was noon before Xie Meng was allowed to be taken to the old matriarch's western courtyard to rest for a while.

After dinner, there was another meeting to recognize relatives in the afternoon, and the relatives to be recognized in the afternoon were all relatives of the uncles and brothers of the Shen family. When I came back, I told Xie Meng that Xie Meng said that he was very calm. He ate two bowls of rice at noon and tried his best to fill his stomach so that he could start the battle in the afternoon.
