Chapter 320: Taking Advantage
First, Niu Xiu was not introduced to her family, and it was only after the bride and groom met her.
After the crowd curiously glanced at Niu Xiu, they were still more curious about her mother, not knowing if that new woman could please Meng Daoming.
The little girl outside guarding the door called out, “The Duke of State and the First Lady are here.”
Everyone looked towards the nine screens at the entrance, Duke Cheng walked in with a tall woman around the screens.
Liu was nearly thirty years old, as tall as the Duke of Cheng, and slightly chubby. Dressed in red gold flower pasties, magenta horse skirt, head wearing embedded treasure phoenix hairpin, red gold chrysanthemum cover sideburns.
Perhaps in order to cover the original skin, makeup powder is thicker. Face, eyes, nose, mouth are on the large side, the features are still decent.
She had a smile in her eyes and the corners of her mouth were hooked up, making her relatable to look at.
Other than being taller, Liu was not at all as fierce and ugly as the legend.
This appearance was also indeed not Meng Daoming’s favorite type.
Duke Cheng’s face reddened, looking even more shy and squirmy than the bride. He couldn’t tell if he was happy or unhappy.
Is this sleeping, or not sleeping? Husband and wife in harmony, or not?
Can not see, the crowd is a little disappointed.
The old princes and old ladies who were still in fear a moment ago both revealed satisfied smiles. Not bad, the face is not colored, and it is not a fight to come in.
The newcomers walked to the front of the old couple, and Duke Cheng said, “Father, Mother, this is Liu.”
They kneeled down and kowtowed.
The maid brought in a tray with a tea cup.
Liu picked up a cup of tea and raised her hands above her head, “Daughter-in-law Liu, please father-in-law drink tea.”
Even if she deliberately lowered her voice, her voice sounded thicker.
The old man smiled and took the tea, took a sip and said, “Good child, marrying into the Meng family, you have to be filial to your elders and treat your juniors generously……. Of course, it’s not for you to be condescending. For bad people and things, also can not be spoiled, you get but tell me, I help you.”
Cheng Guogong’s nose is crooked, “bad people” is not to refer to their own well. Old father more and more excessive, so help shrew.
The old lady also do not like to hear that, but do not dare to show. The old man told her more than once, if the eldest son does not have a powerful person in charge, sooner or later, something will happen. When the time comes, he is not the only one who will be harmed, the family will be involved.
Liu laughed out loud, “Oh, thank you father-in-law.”
The old man gave her a string of icy jadeite beads with excellent water penetration. Meaning, when it’s time to be calm, it’s still time to be calm.
Liu again offers tea to the old lady, “Daughter-in-law Liu, please have tea for your mother-in-law.”
The old lady took the tea and took a sip, said, “Good child, to love husband and wife, husband and wife, respect the old and pity the young.”
Gave her a set of gold and jade head and face.
Liu understood that the old lady did not want her to overpower Meng Daoming.
She very sagely said, “Yes.”
Duke Cheng Guo Gong gratefully glanced at his old lady, it was still his old lady who was good.
Cheng Guogong and Liu got up and sat down to the old master’s lower head.
Other than the old couple, they had the highest status in this room.
Meng Zhimo brought his wife and son over to kowtow and greet them.
Meng Zhimo and Jiang Yishi shouted “Mrs.”.
Meng Zhaocun had already woken up, and the little guy kowtowed and shouted, “Bride, new grandmother, look good.”
Then he stared at Liu with unblinking eyes, thinking that the big birds on the bride’s clothes and head were especially pretty.
The crowd was amused, Liu even laughed heartily. Only the Duke of Chengguo secretly rolled his eyes, who said that the little child does not talk about panic.
It was the first time Liu had ever heard someone compliment her on her good looks. She laughed and said, “Cun Ge’er is smart, in the future, grandmother will teach you to practice martial arts and make you sweet cakes to eat.”
Hearing that there would be sweet cakes to eat, Cun Ge’er happily kowtowed again to show his gratitude.
The maid behind Liu’s back brought up a tray of gifts, which were jade ornaments, a string of pearl necklaces, and a book.
Then it was Meng Yue and Huang Xin who came to kowtow and meet the gifts.
As soon as Meng Yue saw Liu, her heart jumped wildly. This stepmother, looking even scarier than Fu ……
Liu’s meeting gift to them was a string of nanzhu necklaces and a lotus jade hairpin.
Then it was the second house, the third house, and Meng Qixin’s family who went to give them their greetings.
After the bride had finished recognizing her relatives, Jiang Yishi personally led Niu Xiu to meet everyone again.
First, he brought her to stand in front of the old couple, and Jiang Yishi smiled and said, “She is Niu Xiu, from now on, grandparents will have another granddaughter to enjoy.”
Niu Xiu knelt down and kowtowed, “Granddaughter Xiu Xiu, meet Grandfather and Grandmother.”
The old man laughed aloud, “This is your home, don’t be formal. Find your sister-in-law if you lack anything, and find me if you are aggrieved.”
The old lady laughed again and said, “What a lovely child, I have a beautiful granddaughter, I am blessed. Play more with your sister-in-laws and sisters …….”
Suddenly a black line flashed, flowers jumped into the old lady’s arms.
The old lady laughed again and said, “This is Flower, just like Brother An, Brother Cun, and Sister Xin, it’s the treasure of our whole family. You can play with it when you have nothing else to do, it’s smarter than some people, it’s very interesting.”
Niu Xiu glanced at Hua Hua with bright eyes, happily revealing two small tiger teeth.
The old couple gave her another meeting gift of great value.
After everyone was introduced, it was also time for the midday meal.
The whole family ate happily and went back to their respective homes.
Before leaving, the old master said, “We’re tired, so we’ll just have Daoming and his daughter-in-law come to talk with us and have a meal next morning.”
The old master and the old lady were very happy with Liu, and wanted the whole family to see that they lifted her up.
Cheng Guo Gong wanted to cry without tears, he didn’t want to see this shrew, he wanted to go to the outer study to look at the spring palace drawings. But the old master said so, and did not dare not listen.
The two returned to the main courtyard, the corners of the mouth hooked upwards are across down. Liu went straight to the upper room bedroom rest, Cheng Guogong turned to the east study.
The main room can enter the service, are Liu’s brought the maids and maids.
They saw the new aunt sleeping on the floor early this morning and were unable to cry.
Liu called Sister Liu and the eldest maid Qiaolan into the room and spoke about her future mode of getting along with Duke Cheng.
“He and I will live like this for now, this is limited to just a few of us, don’t spread the word.”
Sister Liu shed tears and said, “Ma’am, there is no impermeable wall, currying the dislike of your in-laws ……”
Liu cut off her words, “Spread the word. The parents-in-law are reasonable, as long as I take up the word “reasonable”, it will not be me who will be disliked. Okay, I didn’t get a good night’s rest yesterday, I want to sleep. Call me at the end of the day.”
She lay down on the bed, still can’t sleep, in front of her eyes appeared Cheng Guo Gong’s appearance.
Meng Daoming looks even more good looking than Niu Jun, imposing, but unfortunately, like Niu Jun, it is a stinky skin that only looks at the outside …….
Liu was so angry that her chest hurt.
When she left Wu Cheng, her parents had repeatedly warned her not to hit people as casually as she did in the Niu family. The old Duke could spoil her, but the old lady’s heart ached for her son, and she definitely didn’t want him to be bullied by her daughter-in-law.
But the Liu family’s daughters were not to be bullied at will, it was not that they could not fight, but that they had to stand their ground before fighting.
