The next day was for the bride to meet her relatives. Shen Ziqiao drank wine yesterday, and when she woke up in the morning, she felt a pain in her brain. After drinking a cup of strong tea, she felt a little better.
When Qi Zheng came back from practice, he saw Shen Ziqiao lying powerlessly on the table, and walked in with a helpless smile, "Let's see if you dare to drink so much in the future."
Seeing Qi Zheng coming back, Shen Ziqiao hugged his arm and rubbed it a few times, "How do you know that you will get dizzy after just a few drinks, you didn't see my aunt and the others, drinking one glass after another, without changing expression."
"You have never drunk, how can you be like your aunt?" Qi Zheng said with a smile, "We still have to go to Shen's house."
"That's right, the bride recognizes relatives today, we'll go back quickly and wait for you." Shen Ziqiao immediately regained her spirits, as if the headache would be healed all at once.
Qi Zheng looked at her with a doting smile in his eyes, his temper hadn't changed at all, even though he was married to him, he still thought of a child in front of him.
It is his greatest wish to let her be so unrestrained and happy like a child all her life.
When the two arrived at the Shen family, the relatives of the Shen family were already waiting in the lobby.
Old Mrs. Shen was sitting at the top, she seemed to be in a good mood, she was talking to Shen Xiao on the other side, Shen Ziqiao saluted them and sat down in her seat.
Shen Ziqiao was not familiar with the other relatives in the lobby, except for the family of the Second Household Master Shen Er, there were some relatives that she didn't remember, they should be collateral relatives.
After a while, Shen Zikai appeared with Zhu Shi.
Shen Ziqiao carefully observed the couple, seeing Shen Zikai caringly supporting her when Zhu shi knelt down to salute, and showing careful consideration to her, while Zhu shi raised his eyes and bowed his head, showing a kind of shy gratitude to Shen Zikai, everyone could see It can be seen that the sweet happiness flowing silently between the couple.
That's great! For some reason, Shen Ziqiao suddenly felt sore eyes.
It seems that the eldest brother likes the sister-in-law very much, and the sister-in-law seems to be a gentle and polite person. Standing beside the eldest brother is like a bird clinging to a person, which really complies with the saying that a pair is born, a pair is made for a pair.
Shen Zikai was more happy than anyone else that Shen Zikai could marry a good wife who suited him. Finally, he didn't have to let his elder brother who loved him destroy him in Sheng Peiyin's hands. This was Shen Ziqiao's greatest achievement.
Changing anyone's fate did not change Shen Zikai's, which made her happy.
After greeting each other, Shen Xiao called Qi Zheng and Shen Zikai to the study, and Shen Ziqiao affectionately took Zhu's hand, "They have their own business, sister-in-law. Let's talk about our own."
Mrs. Zhou glanced at the hands of their aunts and sisters-in-law who were holding each other intimately, and said flatly, "Third aunt, grandma, young lady, I have something to do over there, so I won't accompany you."
Shen Zixin originally wanted to stay, but was forced away by Zhou.
"Grandma Sangu, let's..." Mrs. Zhu saw that the female relatives of the collateral line gradually dispersed with Mrs. Zhou's departure. She didn't pay much attention to her as the young lady, she was neither annoyed nor anxious, she just looked at Shen Ziqiao with a smile.
"We don't need to be polite, I'll go to my sister-in-law's place to have a cup of tea." Shen Ziqiao was displeased with Zhou's actions, and even felt that these relatives were really stupid, thinking that Zhou's future son-in-law was a prince. So they all rushed to curry favor.
One of our own? There was a smile in Zhu's eyes, this was a good description, she knew that Shen Ziqiao was telling her. Regardless of what those outsiders think, "What kind of tea does my aunt like to drink?"
"Don't call me aunt, call me Jiaojiao." Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, "I, like elder brother, don't care much about tea. Sister-in-law can just bring out any good tea she has."
Zhu Shi chuckled, and the tension in his heart disappeared.
I heard that the husband and his sister have the deepest relationship. It seems that this statement is not false, "Sister-in-law also said the same thing in the morning."
Shen Ziqiao laughed haha, "Then what tea are you giving my elder brother?"
"I brewed a pot of Maojian for him, and he said that the Tieguanyin soup is really clear and fragrant." Zhu said in a low voice, covering her mouth.
The mother walking behind Zhu Shi kept winking at her.
How can I tell others about my uncle's embarrassing things? Even if Shen Ziqiao is my uncle's younger sister, there is a layer of separation. If my uncle finds out, I must blame the young lady for talking about him everywhere. What if I make him unhappy?
Shen Ziqiao saw the mother's wink, but she didn't take it to heart. She laughed and said to Mrs. Zhu, "My elder brother grew up in the barracks since he was a child, and he doesn't like the elegant things of drinking tea, admiring flowers and paintings." Heart, but it doesn’t mean that you don’t know anything, you can’t count on drinking tea, flowers and plants can still be on the table.”
Zhu Shi smiled and wrote down that this was Shen Ziqiao reminding her how to find a common language with Shen Zikai.
The aunt and sister-in-law arrived at the flower hall, and Mrs. Zhu sent someone to make tea.
Shen Ziqiao really doesn't have any tea-tasting skills, but she can still drink the tea sent by Mrs. Zhu's people.
"I seem to have drunk this tea before." Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, "But I don't know what kind of tea it is, so I won't talk about making a fool of myself."
"It's Tieguanyin." Zhu said with a smile, "I usually like to drink tea."
Shen Ziqiao said embarrassedly, "I usually like to eat, but my elder brother said that I am a snack food."
Mrs. Zhu couldn't help laughing anymore. Before she got married, her mother specially told her not to offend Shen Zikai's only younger sister. The siblings grew up dependent on each other. Not only did the deceased Mrs. Pan regard Shen Ziqiao as a treasure It hurts, Shen Zikai loves this younger sister even more, even Pan has no complaints about leaving all the dowry to him, and as a sister-in-law, she can't show any displeasure.
He also said that Shen Ziqiao was so savage that she didn't even pay attention to her own grandmother, let alone her sister-in-law, when she saw her today, she felt that the rumors she heard seemed different.
Shen Ziqiao was nothing like the rumors said, on the contrary she was sincere and lovely, and she really wanted to get close to her sister-in-law.
It must be because of Shen Zikai that he is so close to himself.
Zhu's eyes looking at Shen Ziqiao were full of kindness and smiles. Since she is her husband's beloved sister, she is her sister. No matter what others say, seeing is believing, and her own feelings are the most real.
"I'll make some side dishes for you to try next time." Zhu said with a smile.
The maid next to her said to Shen Ziqiao, "The food made by our young lady is delicious."
Shen Ziqiao's eyes lit up, "Then I won't be polite, big brother is really lucky."
Zhu's pretty face flushed slightly.
The aunt and sister-in-law chatted harmoniously.
…
…
In the study, Shen Xiao looked at his son and son-in-law with a serious expression.
"Yesterday the emperor reprimanded His Royal Highness the crown prince. I only found out about this today." Qi Zheng's face was serious, and the situation in the palace has become more and more worrying recently.
"His Royal Highness is usually rigorous and careful in doing things, how could the emperor reprimand him?" Because Shen Xiao had already disarmed and returned to the field, he did not receive timely news about the affairs in the palace.
Qi Zheng said, "His Highness intends to prevent the emperor from going to Tianxuan Mountain."
It was because His Highness the Crown Prince stopped His Majesty's impulse that His Majesty scolded him for being unfilial. He wanted to stop him from cultivating immortality and His Majesty would not live forever. He wanted him to die early so that he could inherit the throne.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always admired and respected the Emperor, and being reprimanded by his beloved father like this, His Highness is really heartbroken.
"If this continues, I'm afraid..." Shen Xiao's eyes were filled with worry, "What has the third prince been doing recently?"
Qi Zheng's face darkened, "The third prince is very close to Master Zhou."
Everyone knows that if things continue like this, things will change.
"Has the queen not made a decision yet?" Shen Xiao asked in a deep voice.
I didn't make up my mind before, but after the prince was reprimanded by the emperor yesterday, I'm afraid it won't be so, "I'll go back to the palace tomorrow!"
Originally, Shen Xiao didn't care much about the changes in the court situation, and felt that no matter which prince was the heir apparent, he sincerely wanted to be the emperor, so there would definitely not be any problems, but since he came back from the northwest, his belief began to waver up.
The emperor is no longer the wise king he used to be.
If the third prince succeeds in ascending the throne, I am afraid that Da Zhou's life will be exhausted.
What kind of person is the third prince? He is ignorant, arrogant, extravagant, abuses the ministers of the court at will, has no respect at all, and is completely different from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is why the ministers of the court and China are trying their best to keep the prince.
Da Zhou cannot be ruined by such a person.
But now the emperor is either Daoist Zhou or Ma Beirong, the queen sent Ma Beirong to be locked in a dark cell, if the emperor hadn't suddenly proposed to go to Tianxuan Mountain, the queen would not have ignored her, instead she had a chance to come out, The reason why the Sun family and the Ma family are now colluding together is well known to everyone in Sima Zhaozhi's mind.
The three of Weng and son-in-law discussed again, and Shen Xiao pondered for a moment at last, saying that he was going to drink with He Shoufu, and left directly from the study.
Shen Zikai dragged Qi Zheng to his study to talk.
When passing through the garden, he heard a song of birds and birds coming from the side of the waterside pavilion, Shen Zikai smiled and said, "Maybe Jiaojiao is over there, let's go and say hello."
"... You will be a relative of the emperor from now on. I'm really envious. No wonder you have the final say on the Shen family."
"Where is it, aren't you married yet?"
"The imperial decree has already been issued, can there be any changes?"
"Miss Si is really different, she was born rich and honored..."
"..."
Before Shen Zikai and Qi Zheng walked over, they heard all kinds of flattering voices from the side of the waterside pavilion, but they didn't hear what Zhu Shi and Shen Ziqiao said.
The two big men looked at each other and stopped.
"In the future, the Shen family will have to rely on you to honor their ancestors!"
"That's not it... That Fang asked for the decree to disarm and return to the field, but it caused a lot of people!"
When Shen Zikai heard this, anger ignited in his eyes. If Qi Zheng hadn't held him down, he might not be able to restrain himself from going out to curse people.
"Go back first!" Qi Zheng said in a low voice, he didn't need to look to know that Shen Ziqiao and Mrs. Zhu were not there.
