Chapter 802, In-Laws
Because of the approaching New Year's Eve, after Daohua returned to the door for three dynasties, Xiao Yeyang went back to Jinlingwei to perform official duties. Basically, he went out in the morning and came back after dark, and he was very busy.
He was busy, and Daohua was not idle either.
First, when all the servants of Pingxitang are replaced, there will be more or less problems, and many things need to be supervised and supervised by Daohua in person.
Second, at the end of the year, shops and farms have to start checking accounts. Because of taking over the part of Xiao Yeyang, Daohua can see a lot more accounts this year than last year.
Third, as the New Year is approaching, it is time to prepare for the boxing of relatives and friends.
Fourth, it is to participate in various gatherings held by the royal family.
The young couple were busy with their own work. Every night, Daohua would wait for Xiao Yeyang to come back, then accompany him to eat together, and by the way, talk about various things that happened that day.
Not only exchanged feelings, but also shared knowledge.
It is inconvenient for Xiao Yeyang to bring back his business affairs and talk about it at home, but he likes to watch Daohua make fun of others and complain about others.
After dinner, Xiao Yeyang would rush into bed with rice flowers in his arms.
Seeing the fierce Xiao Yeyang, Daohua was very puzzled. She has been running around for a busy day, why is her physical strength so good?
He was busy until the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, when Xiao Yeyang was free.
Daohua sat on the dressing table, looked at Xiao Yeyang who was still lying on the bed through the mirror, and urged: "Get up, today I was young, I told my father that we were going to have dinner with him at noon."
Xiao Yeyang lay down and didn't move: "You tired me last night."
Hearing this, Daohua laughed angrily, and turned to look at him fiercely: "You bastard." Who is tired of whom?
Xiao Yeyang put his arms under his head and looked at Daohua with a relaxed smile, with a "what can you do to me" look.
Daohua ignored him and continued to apply makeup to herself. After a while, she put down the rouge in her hand, walked to the bed and sat down, looking at Xiao Yeyang: "You have been busy before, so I didn't even ask, it seems that The Chinese New Year is coming, when will you take me to see my mother?"
Xiao Yeyang sat up: "After the winter, my grandfather's body has been ill. She is now living in Dingguo Gongfu to take care of my grandfather. If we go to visit, it will disturb many people."
Daohua thought that Mrs. Guo and Guo Xueming didn't want to go to Dingguo Gongfu so much, so she said: "If it is not suitable to visit mother now, then we will send some New Year gifts to show our filial piety."
Xiao Yeyang lay back again: "You can figure it out."
Daohua gave up and forced him to sit up: "I don't understand mother's preferences, you have to choose gifts with me."
Xiao Yeyang: "I don't know either."
Daohua: "No matter, you have to accompany me, this is the first time I have given a gift to my mother, which directly determines her impression of me. You and I will choose quickly, even if the choice is unsatisfactory, it is for your own sake. Come on, my mother won't be unhappy."
Xiao Yeyang: "How does she know who chose the gift?"
Daohua: "I asked Meilan and Meiju to deliver it. When my mother asked, she would know." Seeing Xiao Yeyang sitting still, he stretched out his arms around his neck, "you come with me."
Seeing Daohua acting coquettishly at himself, Xiao Yeyang secretly delighted in his heart, hooked the corner of his mouth, put his arms around Daohua's waist, and as soon as his arms exerted force, he hugged the person on his lap: "It depends on your performance. "
Hearing this, Daohua rolled her eyes.
Choose a gift for his mother, and she is begging him!
Tucao returned to Tucao, Daohua still smiled and kissed Xiao Yeyang's cheek: "That's it."
Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "Not enough."
Daohua looked at him and pecked his lips angrily: "If you want to grind again, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Xiao Yeyang glared: "You're too impatient, aren't you?"
Daohua: "I'm just like this, can't you afford it?"
Looking at the angry and charming face, Xiao Yeyang showed helplessness: "My lady has a life, how dare Xiaosheng not obey?"
When Daohua heard this, she smiled and said, "It's not too bad." She put down her arms and got out of bed, "Hurry up."
Xiao Yeyang got out of bed accepting his fate, and after he was dressed, he and Daohua went to the warehouse to pick out gifts, and Dingguo Gongfu also prepared a copy.
After doing this, it was almost noon. Daohua asked Meilan and Meiju to go to Dingguo Gongfu to give gifts, while she and Xiao Yeyang went to Pingxi Hall.
Pingxi Hall.
All the masters of the palace have gathered here, even Xiao Yechen, with the help of the third prince, also returned from Yuanma Temple.
Everyone looked surprised when they saw Daohua and Xiao Yeyang who came together.
No wonder everyone was surprised. Most of the people present seriously thought about it. They seemed to have never had a reunion dinner with Xiao Yeyang.
Prince Ping looked at the two of them. Although he couldn't see anything on his face, there was a smile in his eyes, and he coughed lightly: "Come on, sit down, dinner will be served soon."
Said, looking at the rice flower.
"What are you doing with the food box?"
Daohua smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law made some rice cakes and rice dumplings, and I brought them to my father to try them."
Prince Ping immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to praise Daohua's filial piety, he heard the yin and yang of Princess Ma say yin and yang, "I'm too embarrassed to take out things that can't be on the table."
This can be said to be a pun, and I don't know if I'm talking about eating food, or I'm talking about Daohua.
Xiao Yeyang sank his face directly, and looked at Princess Ma indifferently: "Something that really shouldn't be on the table, in this room, other than you who have children out of wedlock, other people are really not qualified."
"Xiao Yeyang!"
Xiao Yechen stood up abruptly: "Don't go too far."
Xiao Yeyang sneered and looked at Xiao Yechen sarcastically: "Do you think that you can erase your shameful background by following the third prince and sing poetry against those literate students all day long?"
Xiao Yechen's eyes were red with anger, and he looked at Prince Ping angrily and aggrieved: "Father, Xiao Yeyang humiliated his son so much, you have to decide for your son!" After saying that, he knelt down with a puff.
Princess Ma also knelt down, and Pear Blossom wept with rain: "Your Highness, you can see that Xiao Yeyang bullied me and Chen'er like this."
Prince Ping was a little sympathetic to the weak, but that didn't mean he didn't know right from wrong. Today's events made it clear that Mrs. Ma was embarrassing to girl Yan, and it was understandable for Ye Yang to have an attack.
Seeing Ma Shi pretending to be pitiful, Prince Ping felt a little bored for no reason.
Seeing that Prince Ping didn't speak, Concubine Jiang thought that he was dissatisfied with Xiao Yeyang, she thought about it, and said, "Today is a small year, at this time in previous years, our family had a reunion dinner with He Meimei, how come every time As soon as Ye Yang came home, he was always at home."
Daohua looked at Concubine Jiang and interrupted her directly: "Concubine Jiang, isn't the person who really picks up the matter the princess? You are watching a play, don't you think it's a big deal."
As soon as Concubine Jiang wanted to refute, she saw that both Prince Ping and Xiao Yeyang looked at her indifferently.
Xiao Yeyang is fine, but why does the prince look at her like that?
In the past, the prince was very kind to her, but from a few months ago, she was surprised to find that the prince was deliberately neglecting her. Now that he looked at her with such indifferent eyes, Concubine Jiang felt a little panicked. .
It's true that she belongs to the Jiang family, but if she wants to live a better life, she can really rely on the prince.
Xiao Yuhua hurriedly pulled Concubine Jiang and signaled her to stop talking.
She really doesn't understand the disputes between the mother-in-law, the princess's mother and son, and the second brother and the second sister-in-law. Why should they join in and watch the tiger fight?
Daohua looked at the pitiful Princess Ma and the stubborn and aggrieved Xiao Yechen, and sneered in her heart, they would show weakness, wouldn't she?
Cry, there must be no tears.
Daohua couldn't squeeze out her tears, so she lowered her head and said, "Father, this year is the first time Xiao Yeyang has come home to celebrate the New Year since he moved into the palace. Big brother is so troubled, and Concubine Jiang is fanning the flames, do you want to drive Xiao Yeyang and me out of the palace?"
Hearing this, Prince Ping couldn't help but think of the emperor's words that Ma's mother and son were ambitious. Looking at the mother and son kneeling on the ground, he felt more impatient and annoyed.
Xiao Yeyang had run out of patience, and he didn't want to see Daohua compromise. At this moment, he didn't want to stay for any reunion dinner, so he got up and pulled Daohua to leave.
Daohua quickly grabbed him, if he just left, it would not be as Ma's mother and son intended: "Xiang Gong, I want to have a reunion dinner with my father."
Saying that, he turned to look at Prince Ping.
"Father, since the princess and the eldest brother don't welcome us, otherwise, you can go to Pingxi Hall for dinner with us." After speaking, he paused, "I will cook it myself."
Prince Ping immediately went down the steps: "Your cooking skills are good, this prince misses your cooking, let's go, today, this prince will go to Pingxi Hall for dinner." After speaking, he took the lead out of the house.
When Daohua saw it, she hurriedly pulled Xiao Yeyang with a smile, leaving behind Ma's mother and son, who were stunned, and Concubine Jiang who looked at each other in dismay.
"It's a good reunion dinner, why bother like this?"
Concubine Ji shook her head and sighed, then got up and blessed Concubine Ma: "Since the prince is gone, Ye Chang and I will not stay to disturb the princess."
Luo Qiong didn't go to Princess Fuma until everyone else had left.
After Princess Ma stood up, she pushed Luo Qiong away and pulled Xiao Yechen in a panic: "Chen'er, is your father tired of our mother and son? How can he go to Pingxi Hall to accompany Xiao Yeyang to dinner?"
Xiao Yechen was also a little flustered. In the past, when he was wronged, his father would immediately comfort him, but this time Xiao Yeyang humiliated himself like that, but his father did not say a word.
Luo Qiong looked at the two of them, then turned around and left the room.
She also understood that Xiao Yechen was both successful and her mother-in-law. The prince obviously wanted the family to have a reunion dinner, but the mother-in-law had to pick things up at this time.
A person's patience is limited, and because of Yan Yiyi's appearance, the relationship between the prince and Xiao Yeyang has been eased. If the mother-in-law pretends to be weak and pitiful, she can only push the prince further and further away.
Pingxi Hall.
After Prince Ping came with Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, he was invited to the living room for tea.
Under Daohua's severe warning, Xiao Yeyang sat with her in the living room, while she went to the kitchen to work.
The father and son were speechless, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Defu and Wynn are also looking at each other, praying that Daohua will come back soon.
Although Xiao Yeyang was expressionless, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. When he and his father rarely sat down in such a calm manner, they could only cover it up by tasting tea.
Prince Ping opened the food box that Daohua was carrying, and took out the rice cakes and rice dumplings inside and ate them.
Seeing that Prince Ping ate a bowl of glutinous rice balls and half a plate of rice cakes, Xiao Yeyang hesitated, but walked over and took the rice cakes away.
Prince Ping looked at Xiao Yeyang in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Neither glutinous rice balls nor rice cakes are good food, so you can't eat too much." After a while, he added quickly, "Yiyi cooks by herself, I don't want to waste her kindness."
Prince Ping glanced at Xiao Yeyang, said "um", and raised the teacup to cover the smile on the corner of his mouth.
The old man is right, the son's temperament is awkward.
Rice flowers didn't take long to cook for the three of them, and soon, five dishes and one soup with all the flavors and tastes were put on the table.
There was a set of luminous cups in Daohua's dowry, which she took out and poured wine.
"Xiao Yeyang, let's toast our father."
Daohua raised his glass and looked at Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang was helpless and raised his glass to Prince Ping.
Daohua said with a smile: "Father, thank you for coming to accompany us for the new year. Xiao Yeyang and I respect you with this cup. Let's do it first, you can do what you want." After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine cup. in the wine.
When Xiao Yeyang saw it, he could only accompany him.
Seeing that both of them drank, Prince Ping also drank the wine.
Daohua quickly poured a cup for Prince Ping: "Father, please try the dishes I made to see if it suits your taste."
After that, under Daohua's intentional guidance, Prince Ping and Xiao Yeyang would say a few words from time to time. Overall, the atmosphere at the dinner table was pretty good.
Defu and Wynn were waiting on the side, watching the dishes on the table decrease little by little, the regret on their faces became more and more obvious.
In the end, the five dishes and one soup were all eaten.
Prince Ping put down his chopsticks still, and praised Daohua: "Yan girl, you really have nothing to say about your cooking skills."
Daohua immediately smiled and said, "My father likes to eat, so I will come to Pingxi Hall more in the future. As long as you come, I will cook it myself."
Prince Ping glanced at Xiao Yeyang, and said reservedly, "For the sake of your filial piety, this prince will come often in the future."
Daohua smiled: "If the father and the king can come often, then Xiao Yeyang and I will be very happy."
A satisfied smile appeared on Prince Ping's face, this daughter-in-law is married well, let's go!
Dingguo Gongfu.
Guo Ruomei couldn't stop smiling when she looked at the New Year's gift from Daohua and Xiao Yeyang.
Mei Lan took the initiative to say, "The New Year's ceremony was chosen by the young lady with the young master. The food was made by the young lady herself. She said that the master would try her craftsmanship."
Hearing this, Mei Shuang suddenly laughed: "I'm afraid the young lady doesn't know, our master has tasted her craftsmanship as early as in Zhongzhou."
Guo Ruomei smiled and said, "Yiyi is a good boy." After speaking, she quickly asked, "After getting married, how is the relationship between Yang'er and Yiyi?"
Mei Ju replied with a smile: "Young master likes the young lady. The two of them are like glue every day. It's very good. You can rest assured, master."
Guo Ruomei nodded: "That's good."
Mei Shuang looked at her master and suggested: "Master, on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, isn't the house going to hold a family banquet? Why don't you post a message to the young master and young lady."
Guo Ruomei shook her head: "I don't want it anymore. I'm going to post a post for them. The two children won't come, but they are coming, and Ma's family doesn't know what to do."
Mei Lan: "Master, the young master and the young lady are not afraid of Princess Ma." After speaking, Daohua did not offer tea to Ma's family, and did not go to greet Ma's family.
"The young lady also obtained the consent of the prince, and directly wanted to replace all the servants of Pingxitang."
Mei Shuang smiled and said, "It's really not that the whole family does not enter the house. The young lady really has the demeanor of the master back then."
Guo Ruomei smiled and looked at Meilan and Meiju: "In the future, I will serve the young lady well. No one in the palace is easy. Don't let her be bullied."
Meilan and Meiju said at the same time, "The servants obey."
Guo Ruomei didn't stay with the two for a long time: "You guys should go back soon."
Mei Lan thought for a while, but still said, "Master, I heard Gu Yu mentioned that the young lady has said several times that she wanted to come and see you."
Mei Shuang took over the words immediately: "Yes, Master, you should just post. Anyway, the young master is your son. This son is married, and the daughter-in-law will serve you tea.
