In the early morning, the servants of the main courtyard were busy back and forth.
Jiang Ningbao glanced at the vacant seat next to him, and knew that Duke Ding had gotten up early to practice martial arts. A few days ago, she also got up early to practice martial arts with Duke Ding.
But it was too late last night, and I slept a little bit, so I woke up a little late.
Jiang Ningbao called Chunxi and Chunle who were waiting outside the door, and began to wash and wash.
When Ding Guogong, who was dressed in black, came back from the training ground, Jiang Ningbao had already washed up and was sitting in the hall waiting for Ding Guogong.
Today's Jiang Ningbao has carefully dressed up. She is wearing a peony embroidered skirt with a white background, her black hair is pulled up, and she is combed into a lady's bun. On her head, a gold hairpin inlaid with rubies is inserted obliquely, and a few beads are dotted on the bun. Flowers, light and elegant, beautiful and dignified.
"Grandpa, hurry up and wash up. Mother will come over to have breakfast with us and drink daughter-in-law tea later." When Jiang Ningbao saw Duke Ding coming in, he couldn't help but linger on his strong and perfect figure.
"Well, wait a minute."
Ding Guogong noticed his little wife's gaze on him, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes, he strode to the inner room next door to take a bath and change clothes, within two quarters of an hour, he finished grooming and changed into He came out in a black brocade robe.
At this time, Chunxi and Chunle had already served breakfast, and Mrs. Xie had just come over and was talking with Jiang Ningbao, with smiles on her brows and eyes, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Ding Guogong strode over and naturally sat next to Jiang Ningbao.
"Heng, you're here. I just told Ning Bao about naming my grandson." Mrs. Xie said enthusiastically. Talked to Ningbao.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted quite enthusiastically.
Huang Momo, Chunxi Chunle and the others on the side were speechless.
Duke Ding glanced at Jiang Ningbao, who was smiling like a flower, and a look of helplessness flashed across his eyes. The child hadn't been seen yet, and his mother thought of naming the grandson.
"Mother, Ningbao and I have only been married for a month."
"I'm planning for a rainy day." Mrs. Xie glared at Mu Mu's son, then looked back at Jiang Ningbao lovingly, "Ningbao, don't you think so?"
"Mother is right, we are planning for a rainy day." Jiang Ningbao nodded in agreement. For more than a month, she and Dingguo have been lingering every day, and maybe she already has a baby in her stomach.
The name is a big deal.
That's not how to prepare for a rainy day.
Duke Ding changed the subject in a low voice: "Mother, let's eat breakfast first, and you will drink tea from your granddaughter-in-law later." But he was thinking in his heart that when the time came, he would go to the study to pick out some spare names from the classics.
Mrs. Xie thinks about it too, let this go beforehand.
After eating breakfast, the servants cleaned up the table, Jiang Ningbao and Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Guo, waited in the lobby for Xie Jingyi and the others to offer tea.
The tea for the tea ceremony has been prepared, and Jiang Ningbao's meeting ceremony is also prepared, which is a jade carving of Guanyin to send the son.
Sending Avalokitesvara without any manipulations.
As for why this was sent, it has something to do with the heroine's last life. In the last life, Yang Shuqing ignored the objections of Marquis Anyuan, and after marrying Jin Wang as a side concubine, she never conceived a child. In the end, she went to the doctor in a hurry and went to the temple. She begged for a Guanyin of Songzi, who knew that this Guanyin of Songzi was tampered with, causing Yang Shuqing to be sterilized.
In this life, Yang Shuqing hated Sending Avalokitesvara extremely.
As soon as she saw Guanyin, she would think of her miserable previous life.
While waiting, Jiang Ningbao drank tea in a leisurely manner, as did Ding Guogong beside him. Only Mrs. Xie looked at the sky and frowned slightly.
Now it's the end of the hour, the sun is shining brightly outside, and the adopted grandson and his daughter-in-law have not yet come to the main courtyard to offer tea.
"Mother, Jing Yi just got married, so it's okay to wake up late." Seeing that the old lady's face was not looking well, Jiang Ningbao quickly smiled and comforted her.
But in his heart, he wondered whether it was Xie Jingyi's intention or Yang Shuqing's intention. He knew that he would serve tea this morning, but he kept them waiting for a long time.
Was this intentional to provoke her
Mrs. Xie is a protector, she patted her daughter-in-law's hand lightly, the unhappiness on her brows has not dissipated: "You and Ah Heng came here on time to serve tea on the second day of your wedding, their airs are more airy than yours. It's too big, it's outrageous."
"Mom is right, it's really outrageous."
Duke Ding always paid attention to filial piety. Seeing his adopted son and Mrs. Yang kept his mother waiting for a long time, his face was covered with a layer of cold frost, and his deep voice was icy cold.
Everyone in the lobby heard what he said clearly.
"Wait a little longer, if you don't come again, you don't need to offer tea." Mrs. Xie said coldly, offering tea on the second day of marriage is not as simple as offering tea.
This is a kind of recognition. Even if the parents-in-law don't like the daughter-in-law any more and make things difficult when serving tea, they will eventually drink the tea served by the new daughter-in-law and admit that she is the master of the house.
Therefore, the new daughter-in-law will not miss the time to offer tea to her parents-in-law, even if it is a little late, but Yang Shuqing and Xie Jingyi made people wait for half an hour before they arrived.
This is already a big problem.
Jiang Ningbao had no objection. If Yang Shuqing missed the tea ceremony and became the laughing stock of the common people after dinner, it was her own doing. She didn't think Yang Shuqing would be so stupid.
Did something happen to the bridal chamber wedding night last night
Jiang Ningbao was about to send someone to Jinhua Courtyard to check on the situation, when Xie Jingyi and Yang Shuqing finally arrived.
Yang Shuqing was wearing a long red embroidered begonia dress, her makeup was exquisite and charming, her hair was pulled up high, the beads and gold hairpins on her head were exquisite and gorgeous, and her smile was bright and charming. Standing beside Xie Jingyi in a dark red and silver brocade robe, she looked like a A pair of people.
But Jiang Ningbao felt a bit of disharmony strangely.
This disharmony seems to appear in Xie Jingyi.
Mrs. Xie glanced at her adopted grandson and Mrs. Yang indifferently, and said in a displeased tone, "It's really shameful to ask the elders to wait for you when you wake up late just one day after entering the house, and even came so late to offer tea."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Shuqing's smile froze, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
"It's my grandson's fault, please punish me grandma."
Xie Jingyi bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Jiang Ningbao looked at this scene with raised eyebrows, and the center of her eyebrows moved. Xie Jingyi gave her a strange feeling. She glanced sideways at the thoughtful Ding Guogong, and it seemed that she was not the only one who felt strange.
"Mother, it's getting late, let Mrs. Yang serve tea first."
Jiang Ningbao smiled and changed the topic.
When Yang Shuqing heard Jiang Ningbao call her Yang Shi, there was a shock in her heart, from Miss Yang to Yang Shi, just the change of address made Yang Shuqing feel aggrieved.
Mrs. Xie nodded and motioned for Nanny Huang to bring out the prepared tea.
The first person to respect tea is Mrs. Xie.
Yang Shuqing took a deep breath, knelt down on the mat, took the teacup from Madam Huang, and respectfully raised it in front of Mrs. Xie: "Grandmother, please have some tea."
Mrs. Xie hummed, took a sip from the teacup and put it down.
"Mr. Yang, from today onwards, you are the granddaughter-in-law of Duke Dingguo's mansion. Every word and deed represents the face of Duke Dingguo's mansion. I hope you will take care of yourself."
After speaking, Mrs. Xie gave her a red envelope as a gift.
Inside the red envelope are all bank notes.
"Thank you for your teaching, Grandma." Yang Shuqing accepted the greeting and kowtowed respectfully, but a trace of dissatisfaction arose in his heart. What does the old lady mean by only giving her a red envelope, is it a mockery of her love of money
What's more, "every word and deed represents the face of Duke Dingguo, I hope you take care of yourself", Yang Shuqing felt that this was Mrs. Xie's warning and insult to her.
She, Yang Shuqing, walked upright, sat upright, and did not violate the rules when interacting with King Qin and others.
Mrs. Xie doesn't trust her.
Jiang Ningbao didn't miss the dissatisfaction in Yang Shuqing's eyes, and couldn't help but frowned. Grandma's attitude was already very good, and she didn't give much lectures, but the heroine probably thought too much.
Next is to offer tea to the Duke of the given state.
Ding Guogong sat under the old lady, with a handsome and indifferent face, restrained and deep, exuding majesty.
Facing the God of War of the Great Viet Dynasty, Yang Shuqing felt unavoidably apprehensive, and did not dare to show any disrespect in front of Duke Dingguo. She respectfully knelt on the mat and raised her teacup.
"Eunuch, please have some tea."
Duke Ding didn't take the tea right away, he glanced at Yang Shuqing blankly, took a sip after a while, and said something concisely.
"Remember who you are, respect and love yourself."
Jiang Ningbao glanced at Duke Ding in surprise. She really didn't expect the Guild of Ding to disrespect the heroine so much. It is undeniable that she was very happy in her heart.
The servants in the lobby were all stunned by this sentence.
But when I thought about the new young lady Zeng Nv disguised as a man to approach the young master, and before her wedding, she had frequent interactions with the King of Qin, I felt that the Duke was right.
The eldest young lady should really respect and love herself.
Yang Shuqing felt humiliated when she heard that Dingguo asked her to respect and love herself. What the old lady said just now was subtle and euphemistic, but Dingguogong was a warning and distrust.
She raised a pair of beautiful eyes, and glanced at Xie Jingyi with grievance.
But Xie Jingyi stood aside silently, as if... seemed to be distracted, and didn't notice Yang Shuqing's aggrieved eyes at all.
Jiang Ningbao raised her eyebrows.
interesting.
"My father-in-law's teachings, my daughter-in-law will keep them in mind."
When Yang Shuqing saw that Xie Jingyi paid attention to her eyes, she was both angry and wronged. She suppressed the humiliation in her heart, did not dare to show anything on her face, and responded respectfully and submissively.
When the servants brought Ding Guogong a meeting gift, Yang Shuqing saw a jade tablet made of black jade in the tray, the blood on his face suddenly faded, and his figure swayed slightly.
She bit her lower lip tightly, the anger and humiliation in her eyes could no longer be concealed.
The word 'Zhen' was actually engraved on this jade tablet made of black jade. This was Chi Guoguo's humiliation. Yang Shuqing's eyes flashed red, and he was too deceptive.
Duke Dingguo is deceiving people too much!
Jiang Ningbao was originally curious about what kind of meeting ceremony Dingguogong had prepared, but now after seeing this "unique" meeting ceremony, he immediately understood what Dingguogong meant.
Duke Ding is venting his anger on her.
Yang Shuqing attacked her again and again, and Ding Guogong was obviously angry, and directly humiliated Yang Shuqing when he served tea.
Jiang Ningbao was very sweet in his heart for Ding Guogong's protection of his shortcomings.
