Phoenix Indus

Chapter 13

A slightly nervous Jun Xueqi was sitting on the kang couch in Xinuange, waiting for Yiren to invite Jin Yuxuan back for breakfast, when she suddenly heard Shui Ling laughing in the small hall: "Master is back, grandma is waiting in Xinuange Grandpa is having breakfast."

After hearing this, Jun Xueqi hurriedly stood up, straightened her clothes quickly, saw Jin Yuxuan walking in, stepped forward with a smile and asked, "I heard from Yiren that brother Xuan went to practice, and the small kitchen has already prepared it." Brother Xuan, do you want to have breakfast after taking a bath?"

As soon as Jin Yuxuan entered the Xinuang Pavilion, he saw Jun Xueqi who was meticulously groomed and dressed. After looking up and down carefully for a while, he was very satisfied with her clothes and her eyes were full of amazement. He replied with unnatural sternness: "No need, I have already showered in the study. When I come back, I will shower in the study first, and then come in for breakfast."

At this time, Nanny Shen, who had sent Bai Jinpa back, saw that Jin Yuxuan had returned, and wanted to let the young couple talk about themselves and cultivate their relationship, so she took Yue Ling and Shui Ling out of the front room and stood Waiting outside the main compartment to be summoned from inside.

Jin Yuxuanfang felt a little more at ease, looking at his newlywed wife who was ten years younger than him, and sincerely praised: "You are dressed very well today. It is both festive and beautiful. Generous and decent."

Jun Xueqi was a little worried at first, fearing that Jin Yuxuan would be dissatisfied with her makeup, but now that she heard his praise, the big stone in her heart fell to the ground, she couldn't help blushing, she walked to the kang bed and sat down. Next, he said with a soft smile: "Brother Xuan, let's have breakfast quickly, and we have to serve tea to uncle and aunt in a while."

Jin Yuxuan couldn't help frowning after hearing "Uncle, Aunt", walked to the side of the kang bed, sat down with Jun Xueqi, and corrected him seriously: "Qi'er, you are now my wife, my wife. Parents are your parents-in-law, you should not be called 'uncle, aunt' anymore, you should be called father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Jun Xueqi knew she was wrong, so she hurriedly apologized: "I was not careful. I have been yelling for more than ten years, but I am used to it, and I haven't changed my words for a while. Brother Xuan, don't be angry with me, I will definitely not yell wrong in the future. .”

Jin Yuxuan sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand to hold Jun Xueqi's hand on the kang couch, and tried his best to comfort him softly: "Qi'er, you weren't so afraid of me when you were young, I went to Jun's house every year as a guest, You are very happy to pester me to play with you. Why are we so afraid of me now that we are husband and wife? I am your husband, you have to believe that I will not hurt you, I will only do my best Work hard to make you happy and joyful. We are going to spend our whole life together, so you can't always be with me with your heart like this?

"You are my wife now, the third grandma of the Jin family. No one in this family will hurt you or embarrass you. I hope you will be as happy as you were when you were a child. If you marry into the Jin family, it will be Let you live your life very carefully every day, then I will feel very sorry for you, and I will feel that your life in this family is very painful. If we have been so careful to guard against each other, we will live every day In the days of pain and sorrow, sooner or later the husband and wife will separate. I don't want us to get along well when we were young, but after we become husband and wife, there will be estrangement."

After hearing Jin Yuxuan's heartfelt words, Jun Xueqi's eyes slowly turned red, her heart was warm and grateful, and the anger that had been suppressing her heart dissipated, she nodded and smiled obediently: "En, Qi'er Got it, brother Xuan, don't worry anymore, we will have a good life."

Seeing Jun Xueqi regaining her usual smile, Jin Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat. After eating, I have to go to say hello to my father, mother, second brother and second sister-in-law."

Jun Xueqi nodded obediently, and the husband and wife had their breakfast quietly, occasionally serving each other some dishes, or joking or joking, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After breakfast, Yue Ling and Shui Ling brought handkerchiefs for wiping hands, white water for rinsing mouth, and fragrant tea for after meals, while Xiang Yu and Xiang Xue quickly came in to take away breakfast.

After drinking tea, the young couple got up and got a haircut, walked out of the bamboo courtyard together, and went to the main hall of the inner courtyard of the Jin Mansion.Nanny Shen took Yue Ling and Shui Ling, holding Jun Xueqi's meeting gift to honor everyone, and followed closely behind the two.

Along the way, the young couple talked and laughed, showing their affection.The servants of the Jin Mansion were very surprised when they saw this, and they were even more impressed with Jun Xueqi, thinking that the new third grandma was not only young and beautiful, but also extraordinarily capable, and she actually coaxed the unsmiling Jin Yuxuan into a happy face.

After all, Jin Yuxuan, who has always been indifferent, is indifferent to everyone except for his younger sister Jin Yuting who has left the court. He is also respectful and respectful to his parents, and rarely jokes.Even if he married a wife and a concubine and gave birth to a daughter and a son, it is rare to see him loving and pity anyone.

At this time, Master Jin, Madam Su, Second Master Jin Yuwen, and Second Mistress Deng Shi were already sitting in the main hall, waiting for a long time.

The second master, Jin Yuwen, is twenty-eight years old this year. Although his face is very pale, he is handsome and gentle, giving people a very gentle feeling, and he smiles very kindly.But because of his poor health since he was a child, and being bedridden due to years of illness, he is not very tall, and when he stands up, he is only slightly above Jin Yuxuan's shoulders, and his figure is very thin and weak.

The second grandma, Deng Shi, is five years younger than Jin Yuwen, she is only in her twenties this year, and she is pretty pretty, but her face is heavily made up, and her clothes also prefer bright colors, and her hair full of pearls and emeralds is even more dazzling.It's just that his actions are full of the air of a small family, without any sense of dignity and generosity, so even though he is dressed in a rich and dignified manner, he can still see his origin from a small family.

On weekdays, because Jin Yuwen was weak, and Mrs. Deng had to take care of his relationship, so Master Jin and Mrs. Su spared their husband and wife from the morning and night.Today, because the bride came in for a ceremony, I specially asked the couple to get up earlier this day so that they could wait for the new wife to offer tea.

Since Mrs. Deng entered the Jin family, she didn't need to abide by the morning and evening rules, so she slept until she woke up naturally every day.Woke up early today, already sleepy and irritable, sitting in the main hall waiting, and seeing no newcomers coming to serve tea, I couldn't help being angry, snorted coldly, and complained: "Third Uncle and Third Uncle Why hasn't my aunt come to serve tea? Father-in-law and mother-in-law have been waiting for a long time, and they are too naive."

Mrs. Su knew that the Deng family had always been proud of being from a scholarly family, aloof and self-satisfied, lonely and self-admired, and did not think highly of a merchant's family.If her natal family was not poor, and she has two younger brothers who need money to study and marry a wife, she would not be forced by her natal parents to marry as a businessman's daughter-in-law, and she would still marry a sick child who could not inherit the family business or take part in the family business .Therefore, although Mrs. Lisu disliked this daughter-in-law very much, she also pitied her for her difficulties in the Jin family. She always turned a blind eye to her behavior and seldom cared about it.

Hearing her complaint now, Mrs. Su didn't like it very much, but she didn't want to bother with her on this happy day, so she just frowned tightly and didn't pay attention to her.

Jin Yuwen, who was sitting by the side, also felt that Deng's words were a little too much, and seeing that Master Jin and Madam Su were frowning tightly, he lightly reprimanded Deng: "Yesterday was the joy of the third brother's big wedding, drunk Wine, getting up late is also human nature. As a sister-in-law, you should be considerate. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Deng was still dissatisfied, but she also saw that her in-laws were unhappy, so she just pouted with a sneer, and ordered the maidservant beside her to bring some tea.

For a while, Jin Yuxuan and Jun Xueqi walked into the main hall one after another, and a girl who had a good brain came forward and was busy setting up worship mats in front of Master Jin and Mrs. Su.Mrs. Su's most capable confidant, Nanny Li, also hurriedly stood aside with a tea tray, on which there were two cups of fragrant tea.

Jin Yuxuan and Jun Xueqi knelt down on the worship mat according to the etiquette, kowtowed to Gaotang three times in a proper manner, and then both stood up.Then, Jun Xueqi took a cup of tea from the tea tray held by Nanny Li, knelt down in front of Master Jin, offered the tea respectfully, and said softly, "Elder-in-law, please drink tea."

Master Jin happily picked up his daughter-in-law's tea, drank it down, then nodded in satisfaction, put the red envelope in Jun Xueqi's hand, and said kindly: "This will be your home from now on, what's wrong with you?" I understand, or if there is anything missing, just tell your mother-in-law. People in our family are also very kind, you don’t have to be too cautious, and live happily. If you encounter difficult things, you can discuss it with Yuxuan. Husband and wife must be of the same heart."

Jun Xueqi took the red envelope, respectfully agreed, then took another cup of tea, walked up to Mrs. Su and knelt down, offered the tea respectfully again, and said softly: "Grandmother, please drink tea. "

This niece has become a daughter-in-law, and Madam Su is the happiest. She took the tea with a smile, drank it contentedly, and then put the big red envelope she had prepared into Jun Xueqi's hand, pulling She got up and said with a smile: "With you in the future, I don't have to worry about Yuxuan anymore. Today I will officially hand over Yuxuan to you, and you must take good care of him for me. From now on, you two There must be a discussion, and you must not quarrel. If Yuxuan bullies you because of his age, don't be wronged. Just tell your father-in-law and me, and we will help you teach him and let him teach you apologize."

When Mrs. Su said something, Jun Xueqi blushed and agreed, and when Mrs. Su finished speaking, Jun Xueqi nodded softly and said, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, my daughter-in-law knows."

Jin Yuxuan saw that Jun Xueqi had finished bowing to Master Jin and Mrs. Su, so he came over and took her hand, walked up to Jin Yuwen and his wife, paid respects according to the rules, and introduced her: "This is the second elder brother and second sister-in-law. .”

Jun Xueqi hurriedly offered tea to her brother and sister-in-law, and when she raised her head to receive the red envelopes presented by the two, seeing Deng's slightly raised lips and raised eyebrows, she knew that she was not pure-hearted and peaceful. She secretly warned himself to be extra careful and prudent when getting along with her in the future.

After the ceremony, Jun Xueqi presented a meeting gift for everyone, and everyone chatted and laughed a little more, and Master Jin took Jin Yuxuan out.

Today, there are some good shop owners outside, and they have a few feasts of fruit wine in the best restaurant in Yongning to celebrate Jin Yuxuan's succession, so neither Master Jin nor Jin Yuxuan dared to delay.

Mrs. Su saw Jin Yuwen's complexion was a little bad, knowing that he must be tired after getting up early in the morning, she hurriedly told Deng: "Yuwen's daughter-in-law, I don't think Yuwen's complexion is very good, it must be from today. It's too early, and he's a little tired. You can help him back to the room and sleep for a while, and if he gets sick again, send someone to tell me so that the doctor can come in and take a look."

Mrs. Deng knew that Mrs. Su had something to say to Jun Xueqi, so she was angry and resentful, curled her lips unwillingly, helped Jin Yuwen up without tenderness, and said in a cold voice: "Yes, my daughter-in-law... I will help my husband go back to rest. I can’t accompany my mother-in-law and third aunt, so please don’t blame the third aunt.”

Jin Yuwen knew that Mrs. Deng had fallen into the old habit of narrow-mindedness again, so she frowned and gave two false coughs, pinched her arm hard, and said to Jun Xueqi with a smile: "Let's go back to rest first, wait for the brothers and sisters Now that I'm familiar with the environment at home, I'm not too busy, so I went to sit in our yard."

Jun Xueqi, who had already stood up to see her off, hurriedly smiled and agreed: "I will visit my second brother and second sister-in-law when everything is packed."

Jin Yuwen nodded with a smile, and with Deng's support, slowly walked out of the main hall and went back to the chrysanthemum courtyard to rest.
