Chapter 322 Serving Tea
On the day of the wedding, the emperor named Zhou Qing the third-grade imperial concubine.
The married woman had court clothes, but because Zhou Qing was newlywed and entering the palace to express her gratitude, she still wore cumbersome and cumbersome auspicious clothes.
With her head heavy with pearls, Zhou Qing was sitting in front of the dressing table, being dressed by her maid, when Shen Li's mother and Shen Xin came in, supporting the old lady on the left and right.
Zhou Qing was startled.
"Grandma, mother, why are you here?"
He stood up hurriedly and was about to greet him.
Today, it is Zhou Qing and Shen Li's turn to serve tea to their elders first, and then enter the palace to express their gratitude.
At this moment, the elder came to her room.
Seeing Zhou Qing stand up, Shen Xin quickly jumped over in two steps, "Sister-in-law, sit down, you are dressing up. You are moving around, and your makeup will be smeared in a while, and you will no longer be beautiful."
He pushed Zhou Qing back to his seat.
The old lady found a chair to sit on by herself, and said with a smile: "Our family is not that particular. You will go to the palace later to thank me, and you will rush to my place to serve tea. You might as well not have breakfast. You are hungry. It’s taken me all morning. I can’t bear the pressure even if I’m full, let alone hungry, in such clothes.”
As the old lady spoke, a maid came in with a tray of water. In the blink of an eye, a table full of food was placed on the round table in the room.
Looking at the plate of crystal elbows, Zhou Qing found it difficult to associate it with breakfast, not to mention that next to the crystal elbows was a pot of hoof flower soup.
The old lady smiled and said: "Don't bother yourself. The point is, we don't want to be hungry. So, let's have breakfast at your place. After eating, you give us a serving of tea, and then you go into your palace, and we Let’s sleep in our cages, no one should be delayed.”
Shen Li's mother immediately said: "Mom, it's not us who sleep in the cage, but you who sleep in the cage. I have to accompany Zhou Qing into the palace."
As soon as he thought that he had no sleep to return to his cage, Shen Li sighed, "I'll have to take a pig's trotters to replenish my health soon, otherwise, my complexion won't get better."
Shen Xin immediately fished out two pieces of pig's trotters from the pot of hoof flower soup and put them into a small porcelain white bowl. "Mom, I'll fish them out for you."
After saying that, he happily sat down next to the fried pork intestines and looked at Zhou Qing with burning eyes.
"Sister-in-law, you look really good today. Let's have dinner after the flower arrangement is done on your hair. After dinner, we will serve you tea and then you can wipe your face and apply rouge.
Sister-in-law, I won’t go when my mother and you enter the palace soon. I’ll go directly to your house. "
Zhou Qing digested the scene in front of him with difficulty and emotion. He was stunned for a while, then looked at Shen Xin in the bronze mirror and said in surprise: "Are you going to my house?"
Shen Xin dragged her chin and nodded, "Yes, you're going to come back soon. I must be going to your house."
The old lady said, "Well, she'll go first. I'll wait until I wake up and go back to sleep. Your father will probably wait until the next day before going over. I guess he'll be with you."
Zhou Qing
I have never heard of this. When a grandson's daughter-in-law returns home, her husband's family will follow her.
Is it because Shen Li is not here?
Warmth flowed through her heart, and Zhou Qing felt that her whole body was filled with warmth. Marrying into such a family meant that she had been blessed in her previous life.
"Grandma, you don't have to"
Shen Li's mother interrupted Zhou Qing, "Are you trying to say that we don't have to follow you, you can just go back home by yourself?"
Zhou Qing smiled.
Shen Li's mother immediately rolled her eyes, "You think so well, you think I don't know. When you come back today, Hu Weiyue will definitely come over. I have heard that Hu Weiyue's specialty is lemon duck. He will come back today." I’ll definitely show off my skills.”
The old lady swallowed, "Yes!"
Shen Xin smiled and said: "My father has been thinking about this lemon duck for several days. I am going to learn the art from a teacher."
Zhou Qing
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment, but I was still very moved.
Of course she knew that the whole family accompanied her back to Mener, not for a lemon duck, but for her.
I just said this so that she would not have any psychological burden.
She accepted this kindness and warmth.
Received it generously.
"Okay, I'll thank my grandmother and mother for Lemon Duck."
The old lady chirped, "You can't do this for me."
As they talked, the atmosphere was lively and warm. In the blink of an eye, the maid combed her hair, and the family gathered around the round table to have breakfast.
No.
Have a meal.
This meal on the table has nothing to do with breakfast.
It’s all hard food!
Regardless of the old lady's age, when she eats crystal elbows, her posture is not inferior to that of Zhou Ping.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Qing served tea to his grandmother and mother. Zhou Qing looked at another cup of tea and said, "What about father's tea?"
The old lady sighed with a breath that smelled like crystal elbows.
"Originally, your father doesn't have to go to court today, but since Shen Li left Beijing in the middle of the night, he has to go anyway today, just to suppress people's hearts.
Let Xin'er's mother drink this tea. Anyway, we are all a family regardless of whether we are respectful or not, and we don't care about these superficial things. "
After the old lady finished speaking, Shen Li and his mother did not wait for Zhou Qingjing. She picked it up and took a sip. She smiled at Zhou Qing and said, "Okay, the rules in our house are over. We will enter the palace in a while. You Go and touch up your makeup, Xin'er and I will take your grandmother back first."
The lively atmosphere faded as they left.
But it doesn't seem deserted.
When your heart is warm, everything is warm.
Shen Li left Beijing in the middle of the night because of matters involving Beiyan, and this matter, not to mention it is a secret now, will definitely be a secret even if Shen Li comes back.
What the old lady just said, even if she didn't know why Shen Li left, she must have known that something big had happened.
The person who was lurking in Beiyan was caught in the blame. Zhou Qing didn't dare to think about the danger that Shen Li would face if he rushed over.
I spent most of the night thinking about it, but now my anxiety has faded a lot because of the old lady and the others.
She was supposed to be the one to comfort the old man.
Now it's time to become an elder to comfort her.
but
The old lady's strength in comforting her was a little too strong.
It's not like the dignified old lady of Guangping's house, a grandmother, really wants to follow her granddaughter-in-law to the door when she comes back.
Wrinkling his eyes and thinking for a long time, but still unable to figure out the reason, Zhou Qing gave up like Zhou Huaishan!
After everything was sorted, Zhou Qing originally thought of picking her up in his mother's courtyard, but the maid reported back that his mother was already waiting in the carriage at the second gate.
All the way into the palace, Madam Guang Ping held Zhou Qing's warm hand and told her some interesting anecdotes in a soft voice.
What surprised Zhou Qing was that the head chamberlain was waiting at the palace gate early. As soon as she got off the carriage, the head chamberlain greeted her.
As soon as he saw Mrs. Guangping getting out of the carriage, Zhou Qing saw a flash of relief on the face of the chamberlain at a speed visible to the naked eye: he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Qing couldn't help but be a little confused.
