When Man Bao opened her eyes, she noticed a gaze. She turned her head slightly and saw Bai Shan. He propped his head to look at her with a smile on his face.
Man Bao blushed slightly, hugged the quilt and asked, "What time is it?"
Bai Shan turned around and probed to see the time, then retracted his head and said, "Chen Shi."
this late
Man Bao wanted to sit up immediately, thinking about it badly, so he lay down again and said, "Get up quickly, Grandma Liu and Aunt Zheng are waiting for us."
But Bai Shan couldn't help it, instead he leaned closer and said, "Why are you still called Grandma Liu and Aunt Zheng? I'm going to change my name today."
Man Bao blushed even more, stretched out his hand and pushed his chest, pretending to be annoyed: "Get up quickly."
Bai Shan quickly kissed her on the mouth, and then stood up with a smile.
Man Bao exhaled, stretched out his hand to close the curtain tightly before getting up.
After they got dressed, Wuyue and Jiulan came in with a pot of hot water, and said to them, "Master, lady, the elders of the clan have come."
Bai Shan frowned slightly, and while twisting the veil to clean his face, he asked, "What are they here for?"
Wu Yue said with a smile: "The second day after marriage, the lady is going to pay homage to her uncle and aunt."
Bai Shan's face was indifferent, "Our family has little relationship with them, we will see you later, are they invited by grandma?"
"That's not true," Wu Yue said after being stunned for a moment, "It's because they live nearby, so I came here early this morning, and I want to meet my new wife."
Man Bao had already washed his face, and said indifferently when he heard the words: "I will see you when I see you. I will see you sooner or later. In May, you can go find some western cakes and ask her to take the shoes and handkerchiefs you prepared. Find out all the similar things, divide them according to the people who come, and you and Jiulan will give the meeting gift after a while."
Bai Shan couldn't help turning his head to look at her, "Have you prepared so many meeting gifts?"
Man Bao smiled and said, "My sister-in-law prepared it for two months."
After knowing that the Bai family in Longzhou lost money to buy this yard for Mrs. Liu, Xiao Qian's family has been preparing.
Nothing expensive, there are a lot of scattered fabrics at home, and the materials are not bad, so she made a lot of shoes, without asking the relatives of the Bai family how long their feet are, and directly taking pictures of the nephews, nieces, brothers and sisters-in-law at home feet to do it.
Which pair to give at that time, let Wuyue and Jiulan look at their height and roughly estimate, anyway, they are all uninvited.
After Man Bao washed up and sat in front of the dressing table, Bai Shan was eager to try, "Let me comb your hair."
Man Bao looked at the time and said, "You can comb your hair, but Jiulan has to do the rest."
Bai Shan was very curious, "Then shall I give you thrush?"
Man Bao slapped his hands off and said, "When you're free in the future, grandma is already waiting in front."
Bai Shan regretted it infinitely, and at the same time, he was even more unwelcome to those family relatives who came to the door.
If it weren't for them, with grandmother's temperament, wouldn't they be free as long as they wanted
Wu Yue and Jiu Lan came forward to serve with a smile, combed Man Bao's hair, and adorned the jewelry that Man Bao had chosen. Bai Shan had already crowned his hair, and picked out a string in the makeup box decorated with a Ruby forehead ornament, he said with a smile: "This is beautiful, wear this."
Man Bao took a look and did not refuse. She rarely had the opportunity to wear such jewelry because it was inconvenient.
Seeing that she had no objection, Wu Yue took it and put it on for her.
Man Bao slightly turned his head to look at himself in the bronze mirror, Wu Yue and Jiu Lan looked at this suddenly bright lady, speechless for a while.
Man Bao pursed his lips and smiled, and the familiar charming air returned, Wu Yue and Jiu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, the bright and indifferent just now seemed to be an illusion.
Man Bao thought of something, turned around and took out a bracelet from under the head of the bed and put it on his hand. Bai Shan's eyes were attracted by the bracelet, and he asked, "Where did this come from?"
Man Bao glanced at him and said, "It was given by someone else."
Bai Shan also looked at her, only one of them would become someone else in Man Bao's mouth.
Bai Shan reached out to hold her hand, "Let's go."
The two were about to go to the main hall when a woman rushed over, followed by a tray of western cakes.
Seeing the well-dressed Zhou Man, he was stunned for a moment, and after recovering, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Master, lady, the old lady asked you to use some things to fill your stomach before going over."
The western cakes came forward on a tray, a plate of small steamed buns and pickled vegetables, and two bowls of goat milk.
Bai Shan simply took Man Bao and turned back to the room to sit down. He waited for Xibing to put down his things before asking, "Why, are there many people here?"
The old lady laughed and said, "The third and fifth masters from my family have brought their wives. By the way, there is also the third-bedroom old lady who brought two young ladies and Mr. Lang together."
That's a lot.
Bai Shan took Man Bao to eat first.
Man Bao drank goat's milk first, and the mother-in-law was even more happy when she saw that they were eating sweet and delicious food. She also watched Bai Shan and Zhou Man grow up, and she was also familiar with Zhou Man, so she didn't shy away from saying: "Because it came suddenly, The old lady is afraid that the lady is not ready, so she asked the lady to prepare some purses and handkerchiefs for you."
She said: "What the old lady means is that the two young ladies will give a purse and a handkerchief, and the gentleman will give a purse and a study room."
Man Bao immediately said: "I have prepared some at home, and there are shoes."
Shoes are a must-have item for acquaintance. When the old woman heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's really good. I'll go talk to the old lady in a while."
Seeing that the two of them ate up all the steamed buns in the plate, they felt distressed for a moment, "It's too little, isn't it, why don't you ask the kitchen to send you two plates."
The young master and Miss Man have always had good appetites. They used to be able to eat a large plate each. How could such a small plate of steamed buns be enough
Man Bao immediately said: "No, no, I will have breakfast with my grandmother and mother later, this is just to fill my stomach."
The mother-in-law thought about it, so she nodded and waited for them to go to the main hall.
The guests in the main hall were chatting happily with Mrs. Liu, and they didn't seem to notice the delay of Bai Shan and his wife. When the report came from outside, they couldn't help sitting upright. Speaking of which, although they went to the Zhou residence I have visited Mrs. Liu several times, but I rarely meet Mr. Zhou.
It was all because she was busy with vaccinations at the Imperial Medical Office during this time.
Bai Sanye, Bai Min, who was in charge, sat up slightly and looked at the door with piercing eyes.
Bai Shan and Zhou Man came hand in hand.
Seeing Zhou Man, who was dressed in a fine attire, lacking the usual three points of coquettishness, and instead being three points more bright and indifferent, Mrs. Liu's eyes flashed faintly, the corners of her mouth became more and more raised, and there was an unconscious smile on her face.
As soon as he entered the door, Man Bao couldn't help smiling when he saw Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng, and the stern-faced calmness and glamor just now disappeared instantly.
Mrs. Liu: ...
Zheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled with bright eyes. Sure enough, Man Bao is still the same Man Bao.
