Second-hand lady

Chapter 9

After eating a simple breakfast, she dressed up again. The tsing and blue clothes were worn by Ru Cui with a woman's bun, and a golden phoenix holding a pearl in her hairpin. The temperament of a woman - the premise is that if she doesn't speak, she will become an embarrassing bastard once she speaks.

Rucui turned her head and saw Wen Liang who was ready. Even though he was newly married, he was still wearing plain brocade cannons habitually. He only embroidered some rich patterns on the cuffs and skirts, but he couldn't see it no matter what. Like the clothes a newlywed should wear.Ru Cui has known him for a few years, so she naturally knows that Wen Liang's dressing style is mostly plain white, paired with that flawless handsome face, it is really glamorous and charming, if you don't pay attention, you will be stunned unconsciously.

But Rucui felt that the gentleness in white clothes and black hair always gave people a sense of unreality, as if he had lost some of his temperament.In the past, this feeling was not strong, but now that she is in the government of Zhen Guo, she feels more and more that Wen Liang's character is different from what she has seen before.

The maids glanced at each other and all lowered their heads. Only Yusheng, who had always been gentle and dependable, persuaded calmly and gently: "Third young master, today is your first day of wedding, how can you dress so casually?" Be careful, the master will get angry when he sees it.The last sentence, Yusheng said it in her heart, knowing the relationship between Wen Liang and Zhen Guogong, she wisely didn't say it to make him unhappy.

Wen Liang smiled lightly and said, "It's okay."

Without further explanation, Wen Liang went out holding Ru Cui's hand.

Yu Sheng frowned slightly, and sighed inwardly.She knew the third young master's resistance to Zhen Guogong's mansion, and even hated this place in her heart.But he is the only son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and he will inherit the title in the future, how can he always be so willful?This Duke of Zhen's mansion can only belong to the third young master. She promised her mother that she would take good care of the third young master, and she would definitely not teach the other young masters how to do it!Even the current Mrs. Zhen Guo can't even think about it!

The sky is already bright, and you can see everything in Zhen Guogong's mansion clearly.It was already October at this time, most of the flowers and trees in the yard were cold and the leaves were falling, and it was in a state of decline, and there was nothing to see, and the layout of the town's government was mostly the same as that of some high-ranking official families in Beijing.

Ru Cui looked at the sky, and understood that Wen Liang passed by in time.

Along the way, the two of them were speechless, until they were about to reach the main hall, and saw two young girls in high-class maid costumes standing there from a distance, and when they saw them coming, they both showed joyful smiles .

"Third young master, third young lady, you are here, everyone is waiting for you inside." One of the pretty maids said, her eyes paused on Wen Liang for a while.

The other maid's gaze was much more straightforward, she couldn't conceal her joy towards Wen Liang, and she had a little more contempt for Ru Cui, a well-known bastard who flew up the branches and turned into a beast.These two maids are first-class maids serving in the upper room, and they have always been relied on by Mrs. Zhen Guo, and now letting them come out to greet her is a manifestation of the importance that Mrs. Zhen Guo attaches to her son, and she has given enough gentle face.

Wen Liang nodded to them, with a distant and indifferent expression, without saying anything, he led Rucui into the door.

Today is the day when the bride invites the elders to enjoy tea, all the masters of the Duke of Zhen's mansion are gathered in the main hall, and everyone sits according to the rules, and there are as many as a dozen people sitting.

As they came in, Ru Cui received all sorts of scrutinizing eyes. It is estimated that everyone is also secretly thinking about what the only legitimate son and wife of the Zhen Guogong's mansion can do.However, upon closer inspection, she was just an average-looking woman, which really disappointed them.And because Wen Liang is so outstanding, she stands beside Wen Liang, like a speck of dust next to a shining pearl, which makes people have an urge to wipe away this speck of dust.

"Tui'er, these are father and mother." Wen Liang took Ru Cui to salute the old town Duke and his wife who were sitting at the top.

Ru Cui was also secretly looking at the people in Zhen Guogong's mansion, when she heard Wen Liang calling herself "Cui Er", she shuddered, the corners of her mouth twitched, she wanted to protest but was worried about the wrong occasion, so she didn't say anything, respectful Disrespectfully saluted the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife for tea, and then, under Wen Liang's leadership, saluted elder brother Wen Yun and sister-in-law Wu respectively.Then there are some peers or juniors who are younger than them. Let them recognize their faces and let them come to salute and say hello.

What I met today was the people from the government of Zhen Guo, and I will go back to the clan to meet the elders of the clan in the future.There are four brothers in the generation of Duke Zhen Guo. Among them, Duke Zhen Guo is the eldest son who inherited the title of Duke Zhen Guo. The remaining three uncles all separated after Duke Zhen Guo inherited the mansion. He is an official in the capital, and the remaining two uncles are both in their hometown of Qingzhou City.

Because of Wen Liang's distinguished and special status, no one present made things difficult for them.Mrs. Zhen Guogong gave a pair of jade-colored bracelets, and kindly said some auspicious words to let her spread the branches and leaves for the Zhen Guogong's mansion earlier. Miss Rucui naturally responded meekly and obediently, and she was so obedient.

Old Zhen Guogong always kept a straight face, and the bride's tea offering was also indifferent, and his happiness and anger could not be seen.Mrs. Zhen Guogong plays the role of a loving mother and is quite amiable.The eldest brother Wen Yun is a man who looks exactly like Zhen Guogong. He is over [-] years old and looks taciturn; the eldest sister-in-law Qin is the niece of Zhen Guogong's wife's natal family.

Rucui already had a solid foundation in her heart. Before marrying in, Concubine Su asked someone to introduce the situation in the Duke of Zhen's mansion to her. There are five young masters and four young ladies in the Duke of Zhen's mansion in this generation. Among them, the second young master and the third young master are both descendants of the late Zhen Guogong's wife, and the rest are all concubines, and the second young master Wen Yuan passed away early, and now there are only four young masters left.As for the four young ladies, except for the fourth daughter, Wen Wan, who was born to the current Mrs. Zhen Guogong, the rest are all born to their aunts. The eldest young lady has already married, and the other three young ladies are still in their boudoirs.

With a clear heart, coupled with Wen Liang's introduction, Rucui quickly recognized everyone in the Duke's mansion, except for the fourth lady from Mrs. His younger siblings all came to pay their respects, and Rucui gave them greetings one by one.The eldest brother Wen Yun and the fourth brother Wen An are both married, and there are a few younger nephews and nieces below. The little buns were taught to be well-behaved by the adults.

After the tea ceremony was over, more than an hour had passed.At this time, people had already prepared breakfast. According to the rules, as a bride, Miss Rucui had to serve her in-laws for breakfast, and then she could eat by herself.She understands this truth, so she is very calm on the surface, and she looks calm throughout the whole process, but the people in Jiaozhen Guogong's mansion are prone to accidents. With this attitude and mentality, it is impossible to see that she was once an unworthy person. Maid, could it be that the legendary short-lived Princess Su trained her differently?

Thinking of Princess Su, everyone can't help but think that there are many aliases hanging on Princess Su's head: short life, jealous wife, King Su's only woman...

Duke Zhen's heart was suddenly a little suspenseful: this woman is not like Su Wangfei, she is a jealous woman, she can control men, and she won't let her husband have three wives and four concubines, right?How can the Wen family spread their branches like this?
The female relatives present obviously also thought of this point. Although they looked down on Concubine Su on the surface, and even wished that Concubine Su would be killed by the hard-charging King Su soon, but in their hearts, who would not envy and envy Concubine Su to be favored by Su Wang alone?In addition to status and wealth in this life, what a woman seeks is her husband's wholehearted doting. Who wouldn't like being doted on by her own husband?And the third young lady who was trained by Princess Su, wouldn't she be able to control men to death like Princess Su?
Zhen Guogong and his wife looked at each other, the old Zhen Guogong decided to let his wife beat the third daughter-in-law when he went back, but she couldn't let her control the third son.

Breakfast passed in the midst of everyone's various thoughts.

After breakfast, the men and women separated.Although they are all a family, there is usually no too much contact between men and women under the same roof.Before leaving, Wen Liang glanced at Miss Er Cui who was sitting among the female relatives. He was a little worried at first, but thinking of her character, he soon had no worries and walked very freely.

Sister-in-law Qin took Ru Cui's hand affectionately, and said to her: "Since you are married, you are now a member of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. You don't have to be restrained. If you need anything, you can talk to me with your mother."

Ru Cui showed a smile, her eyebrows and eyes were very serious, and she said obediently: "I know, I will trouble my mother and sister-in-law then."

Everyone only thought she was saying polite words, smiled ambiguously, and talked to her in turn, and Miss Rucui responded briefly.Because she didn't talk much today, and she listened more and talked less, so Mrs. Zhen Guo and the others didn't feel that there was anything different about this girl, and even gave birth to a little contempt because of her good temper now. Thinking about it, I feel that apart from the support of King Su, she is nothing to worry about.

Everyone felt relieved, their tentative thoughts faded away, and their attitudes became casual.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Zhen Guogong showed her tiredness, and asked the eldest daughter-in-law Qin and a few girls who had not left the cabinet to accompany the new daughter-in-law to stroll around the mansion.After lunch, the family gathered together for lunch again, and Ru Cuifang followed Wen Liang back to the Xiuhuayuan to rest.

"Girl, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Although Wen Liang knew that she would not suffer, she had always been prejudiced against the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and knew that the water inside was deep, so she couldn't help but worry.

Miss Rucui responded with a very happy smile, and said: "No, mother and sister-in-law are very kind, and the younger sisters are also very well-behaved, but the fourth younger sister is a little lively, and I seem to be a little unhappy. "

Wen Liang paused slightly while holding the tea, and said with a smile: "Simei is the only prostitute in the mansion, she is a bit delicate."

"Master Wen, are you delicate?" Miss Rucui asked curiously.

Wen Liang glanced at her depressedly. Could it be that in her heart, isn't he a hard-working, handsome, resourceful, courageous, stalwart and reliable man?Where is he so delicate?
Seeming to see his depression, Miss Rucui hurriedly added: "Master Wen, don't worry, you just look delicate, but you are very rough." As she spoke, she looked at a certain part of his body, and her face was full of tenderness. Showing some sympathy, he nodded with certainty.

Come on, this explanation is even more depressing, Wen Liang suddenly has an urge to throw this girl down and let her know how rough he is!
