007 Toast Tea II
Cui Ling looked intently, and sure enough she saw her thick-soled embroidered shoes, made of red satin embroidered with peonies and pistils, stepping firmly on Yuan Wulang's toes. She hurriedly avoided it, but unexpectedly her foot stumbled.
Her body staggered and was about to fall.
She was complaining in her heart. On the second day of her wedding, she threw a dog into the house in front of a house full of Yuan family members. She told her sisters-in-law not to laugh at the joke. There were so many servants standing in the house. It shouldn't take long.
Did the entire Zhenguo General's Office know about the commotion?
But in the blink of an eye, a strong arm wrapped around her waist in time, hugging her whole body. She only shook her body a few times, but did not make a joke as she feared.
It's Yuan Wulang.
Although his deep male voice had a chill to it, it was extremely sweet and sweet, "Don't be shy, madam. Let's serve tea to grandma first."
The two people are close to each other, and in the eyes of others, they look like they are in deep love.
Cui Ling still didn't dare to look up at her husband.
At first, she still insisted on her little thoughts.
If you can't see what Yuan Wulang looks like, you won't have any association with this person. Without association, there won't be any emotional involvement. Even if others mention this person, apart from knowing his name, she doesn't have anything in her mind.
Any screen.
Waiting, expectation, worry, longing, suffering, sadness, these emotions have nothing to do with her.
Call her selfish or callous, all she wants is a simple life with no distractions, and she really can't afford more emotions.
Secondly, Yuan Wulang was so nice, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
I even vaguely feel that it is not worth it for such an outstanding man to marry a wife like me who has no intention of going to the mandarin duck dream with him, just like a flower stuck in his cow dung. Look at him last night
This morning's performance, I think I have realized this.
For his sake, it's better not to show your face and obstruct others' eyes.
Cui Ling made up her mind and followed Yuan Wulang's footsteps obediently without squinting her eyes. She walked into the presence of a kind-hearted old lady.
Although the old lady has silver hair all over her head, her face is well maintained. She looks to be in her fifties, with fair skin and high energy. She is wearing a sapphire blue peony dress inlaid with gold threads and a swastika pattern on her forehead.
Wearing a sapphire-embedded pearl to wipe the forehead, she looks rich and majestic.
Come to think of it, this is the old concubine of Zhenguo General's Mansion, her great-grandmother Yuan Laotaijun.
Seeing Yuan Wulang kneeling down, Cui Ling hurriedly knelt down and followed Yuan Wulang to say hello, "My granddaughter-in-law is sending greetings to my grandmother. May my grandmother be as happy as the East China Sea and live longer than the Southern Mountains."
Then he took a cup of tea from the tray of the old woman who followed him, held it respectfully and held it up to Mrs. Yuan, "Grandma, please have some tea!"
Mrs. Yuan's eyes were filled with joy when she saw that her favorite grandson finally got married and started a family.
She turned around and asked Aunt Du who was already standing behind her. Seeing Aunt Du smiling and nodding, she knew in her heart that Wu Lang lived up to her expectations last night and consummated his marriage with his newly married granddaughter-in-law. Of course she knew that this time alone
The hope of having an heir is slim, but she is getting older, doesn't she just want a thought?
The old lady took the teacup, took a sip, put it down, and said with a smile, "Good boy, raise your head and let grandma take a look?"
If you want to live comfortably in the Yuan family, Mrs. Yuan is the one person you must please. How dare Cui Ling slack off after her immediate superior has spoken? She raised her head, opened a pair of gentle and harmless eyes, and smiled.
Looking at the old lady.
When the old lady saw that her granddaughter-in-law was beautiful and lovely, and that she and Wu Lang were like a pair of golden boys and girls, they were a perfect match. She was so happy that she couldn't help but say hello.
In addition to the welcome gift that should be given, he took off a blood-red bracelet from his wrist. He personally took Cui Ling's hand and put the bracelet on. "This blood jade bracelet was brought by your grandfather from Nanwan country."
What comes back is good stuff, so keep it."
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked up and looked around the room filled with a group of daughters-in-law and grandsons-in-law, and said with a smile, "You guys, don't blame me for being partial to the fifth daughter-in-law. This child is really lovely. I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her.
joy."
A lady smiled generously and said, "How could it be? The five younger brothers and sisters are well-born and well-behaved. Not to mention the old lady, even our sisters-in-law feel warm and happy looking at them."
Cui Ling quietly raised her eyes and saw that the person speaking was a beautiful woman sitting at the right hand of the old lady, wearing a lotus-colored skirt and top. She had a dignified and graceful appearance, and she was full of good demeanor.
She was secretly wondering whether this was Princess Yining from her eldest sister-in-law Princess Furong's family, or her third sister-in-law Lian from Duke Liguo's mansion.
At this time, Yuan Wulang whispered in his ear, "This is my sister-in-law."
Before Cui Linglin got married, she also made up the list of Yuan family members.
I know that General Yuan Shitao and his wife Huang are very affectionate, and their five sons are all direct children of the first wife. A few years ago, after Huang passed away due to illness, General Yuan had no intention of marrying again. The old lady saw that at that time, someone had already entered the house.
The four grandsons-in-law are all very capable. There is no one to worry about the job of being the director of the family, so it is up to him.
There is no general's wife in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, so the old lady takes charge of all matters in daily life, and the Yining Princess assists. It is very orderly, and the etiquette during the New Year's Day is no worse than that of other families.
On the way here, Grandma Du also reminded her very skillfully that the old lady was old and did not have so much energy. The family said that the old lady was in charge, but in fact she was just helping with important matters.
This idea is that the person who is really in charge of the General's family is actually the eldest grandmother, Princess Yining.
Therefore, Cui Ling did not dare to despise this sister-in-law in the slightest. Apart from the old lady, the sister-in-law was her direct superior and would have the most direct influence on her future life.
Yuan Wulang introduced, "This is the eldest brother, and this is the eldest sister-in-law."
Cui Ling asked An Jing for tea as promised, accepted the meeting gift from her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and followed Yuan Wulang to serve tea to the other three sisters-in-law one by one. There were also some uncles, aunts and clan members who had been separated from each other.
Met.
After the ceremony was completed, it was time for Yuan Wulang to set off.
Yuan Dalang's only name is "Hao". Because he is the eldest son, when his father and brother are both on the battlefield, in order to preserve the Yuan family's bloodline and maintain the stability of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, he must stay at home to fulfill his filial piety for his father and to host the affairs for his younger brothers and sisters.
The big picture.
Which man from a family of military generals has not had the fascination and passion for killing enemies on the battlefield?
Therefore, although Yuan Hao was reluctant and worried about his fifth brother's expedition, he himself was very envious of it. But there was no other way. He was born in the Haoying family, and as the eldest son of Yuan, he also had obligations that he must fulfill.
, and the responsibilities that must be assumed.
He patted Yuan Wulang on the shoulder with a solemn expression, "Fifth brother, this is your first time on the battlefield. You have gone to the northwest. Don't be greedy for success. Remember to act in accordance with your father's orders. At home, you don't have to worry, eldest brother.
I will take good care of my grandmother and my younger siblings!"
Yuan Jun did not speak, but hugged his eldest brother vigorously. Between brothers, there are some things that do not need to be said, a look is enough to understand.
After a long while, he let go of his arms and exchanged a few precious words with his sisters-in-law. Then he walked up to Old Mrs. Yuan and bowed solemnly, "Grandma, please take good care of yourself. I promise you that your grandson will not suffer any consequences."
Come back unscathed!"
Old Mrs. Yuan had tears in her eyes. As a housewife, she no longer knows how many times she has experienced such scenes. She said goodbye to her husband when she was young, then to her son, and now to her youngest grandson. Although she is reluctant to part with her, she is better than others.
A little more calm and collected.
She held back her tears and patted Yuan Jun's hand gently, "Good boy, grandma trusts you. Go ahead and ask your wife to give it to you."
This parting scene is really sad. People like Cui Ling who think they have developed a hard-hearted heart will inevitably feel the same when they see it. Although she tried her best to distance herself from the relationship with Yuan Wulang other than the nominal relationship between husband and wife,
But involuntarily, she still felt the soreness on the tip of her nose.
She was surrounded by the maids around the old lady and sent Yuan Wulang to the second gate. A black and shiny horse was ready to go, and the guards who followed and protected him were waiting in front to leave.
Yuan Jun stopped and looked at his newlywed wife, and was surprised to find that her eyes were bright and there seemed to be tears.
He had mixed feelings for a while, but his heart couldn't help but soften, thinking that he didn't know when he would come back after leaving. Even if she was really a bad-hearted and vicious woman, no matter what, he would always owe this woman a lot.
Sighing softly, he couldn't help but soften his heart and said, "After I leave, you must be filial to your grandmother. If you have anything to say, just ask her and she will make the decision for you."
Cui Ling was extremely moved. At this point, Yuan Wulang was still thinking about her. Such a man was really open-minded.
She really felt that she was not worthy of him, but now that the wedding was over, it was too late to talk about it. She lowered her head and whispered, "You should take good care of yourself when you go to the northwest. Don't work too hard on the battlefield. I'm not calling you
You're just trying to avoid being lazy. You're just trying to keep the mountains alive. You're not afraid of running out of firewood. Life is the most important thing. Well, you must come back alive!"
These few words were so heart-warming that Yuan Jun's heart moved, and he just wanted to say a few considerate words in return.
At this time, Cui Ling suddenly stammered and said in a very sincere tone, "If by chance you meet a woman you particularly like, don't worry about me, I won't mind!"
What Yuan Jun wanted to say was frozen in his mouth for a moment. His face turned dark, and an unknown anger burst out of his chest. If he hadn't never hit women, he really wanted to strangle that woman who thought he was magnanimous.
Where is her battlefield?
By chance, he met a woman he particularly liked?
At this time, even if he had a face as beautiful as a fairy, Yuan Jun didn't want to take another look at it. He flung his sleeves angrily, got on the horse without saying a word, and the sound of horse hooves was like a bolt of lightning as he galloped out of the house.
Door.
