Chapter 197 Tea Serving Incident

Xia Chunyu went away for a long time and didn't come back. Ye Jiayao had been spinning lately and couldn't hold on any longer, so she fell asleep first.

I fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling like there was someone else around me.

"You're back? How are you?" Ye Jiayao asked with her eyes closed.

Xia Chunyu tucked the quilt for her and whispered softly in her ear: "Go to sleep first! We'll talk about it tomorrow."

He already knew who the person in contact with Zhu Wang's wife was, and it became clear once he described his appearance. However, the third child got married, and things got serious, and Chunfeng couldn't live with it.

Although Ye Jiayao was dazed and confused at the moment, she still knew it in her heart, so she didn't ask any more questions, just snuggled into his arms and continued to sleep.

The next day, the new daughter-in-law has to serve tea, and the elders, brothers and sisters-in-law have to seal a gift bag.

Xia Chunyu never asked about these matters, it was all decided by Ye Jiayao. Ye Jiayao originally sealed nine hundred and ninety taels of silver notes, which meant eternity. Nine pieces of one hundred taels and nine pieces of ten taels felt like a thick stack. Ye Jiayao After thinking about it, I took out the banknotes inside and replaced them with one thousand taels and one hundred taels. It would be better to be single-minded.

Today's tea ceremony was very lively, with the third uncle's family and the second aunt's family who just arrived from Shanxi yesterday.

Ye Jiayao only met this second aunt and uncle once briefly. The second aunt was serious in speech and always put on airs. Her stern face was as serious as Xia You's, but the second uncle looked like Maitreya Buddha. He's fat, laughs a lot, and seems pretty easy-going.

After seeing the ceremony, everyone sat down one by one.

The second aunt Xia Peishan looked at Chunyu and complained: "Why is the wedding so hasty? It's all done after just announcing the news. I can't even drink the wedding wine, and you don't take me, the second aunt, seriously."

Chunyu laughed along with him: "Isn't my nephew in a hurry to get a wife? My nephew will make up for the wedding banquet tomorrow for my second aunt and uncle."

Xia Peishan just talked about it casually. Her sister-in-law had already told her the whole story last night.

I heard that my sister-in-law was very satisfied with Chunyu's daughter-in-law, and yesterday's wedding banquet was well organized. Xia Peishan also had a good impression of Ye Jiayao.

"You said it yourself, but I want my wife Chunyu to make the wedding wine herself. Wife-in-law Chunyu, what do you think?" Xia Peishan softened her expression and said.

Ye Jiayao agreed: "This is necessary."

Now Mrs. Zhou was unhappy. She wanted to eat, but the second daughter-in-law tried to push her away. Now that the second aunt wanted to eat, the second daughter-in-law flattered her.

"Hey, the second aunt still has a lot of face!" Zhou said in a strange way.

Xia Peishan also looked down on the Zhou family and said, "This wedding wine is not for nothing. If my brothers and sisters are envious, they can come together." She said with a wink to her husband Qin Shimao next to her.

Qin Shimao smiled and took out two big red envelopes, squinted his eyes and said, "Although I didn't make it to the wedding, I still want this gift."

With that said, one was given to Xia Chunyu and the other was given to Ye Jiayao.

It was such a thick stack, Ye Jiayao secretly smacked her lips, even if it was a hundred taels of silver notes, it must be several thousand taels at least! I have long heard that the second uncle is a rich man in Shanxi, and he owns several coal mines. From ancient times to the present, coal bosses have been the richest among the rich.

Xia Chunyu and Ye Jiayao said in unison: "Thank you, second aunt, second uncle."

Xia Youshi smiled and said, "Second aunt is really thoughtful."

Xia Peishan glanced at Mr. Zhou seemingly casually and said calmly: "This is a courtesy. If I hadn't happened to be here to drink Chunfeng's wedding wine, I would have sent someone to deliver this gift."

Mrs. Zhou coughed twice and deliberately scolded her youngest son Chunsi: "You must sit with a posture, and your eyes are not allowed to wander around. They are not for you."

Chun Si rolled his eyes angrily, pouted and said, "My tenth birthday will be in a few days, and you all have to give me red envelopes then."

"Isn't it time yet? You will be indispensable when the time comes." Mrs. Zhou said.

The whole room was speechless. The top beam was really crooked and the bottom beam was crooked. The upbringing of this family is really worrying. Is there anyone who asks for red envelopes so openly? Crazy poor or what? However, everyone knows in their hearts that the third child's family is not poor. Not only is it not poor, but it is also well-off. However, it is stingy, never plucks out a dime, and is more aggressive than anyone else in collecting money.

After waiting and waiting, Chunfeng and Liuli finally appeared.

Both of them had sullen faces and looked unwilling. They came in on their own terms. You didn't look at me, and I didn't look at you.

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that the flowers and candles in the bridal chamber are not very harmonious!

Xia Youshi and the old Marquis looked at each other, and they were even more worried. They knew that Chunfeng did not want to get married, but this was the emperor's order. These days, the couple took turns talking to Chunfeng, doing ideological work, and asking him to You must give some Liuli, and live a good life now that you are married. As a result, the two of them got along unpleasantly on the first day.

It was hard to say anything, so Xia Youshi glanced at Sun's mother. Sun's mother understood and said with a smile: "Please serve tea to the newlyweds."

The maid brought two cups of tea.

Xia Chunfeng walked to his parents, knelt down on his knees, held the tea cup, and waited for Liuli. Only then did Liuli come forward. She did not kneel down and took the tea cup. She just bent her knees slightly and saluted: "Mother, please have some tea."

Xia Chunfeng suppressed his anger and said, "You have to kneel down when serving tea to your parents."

Liuli smiled slightly and said arrogantly: "I am Princess Liuli now. There is a difference between the king and the minister. There is no reason for the king to kneel down."

At this time, both the Marquis and Youshi had embarrassed looks on their faces.

Yesterday, there was an imperial edict when she walked in with the sedan chair. The emperor specially named Princess Liuli as Princess Liuli. You knew that something was wrong. Liuli was already difficult to take care of. If she was given the status of a princess, her tail would be raised to the sky.

"You mean, my family will still kneel down to you?" Xia Chunfeng could no longer hold back his anger.

Liuli snorted lightly: "It stands to reason."

Xia Peishan couldn't stand it anymore and said slowly: "Serving tea to parents and elders on the first day of a wedding has been a etiquette for thousands of years. Even the emperor's wedding must follow this etiquette. Is it possible that this rule no longer applies to the princess? The princess's Is your status more noble than the emperor?"

Liuli didn't take this second aunt who was married to a rich man seriously at all: "Didn't I, the princess, salute just now? Do you want me to do it again?"

Ye Jiayao shook her head repeatedly, Liuli, Liuli, your calculations were wrong. You wanted to use your status to suppress others, so as to appear superior to others, and you didn't care about the timing. I thought Liuli could make some progress, but it turned out to be even worse.

Xia Youshi smiled and said: "If it's a rule, you must follow the rules. Our family is marrying a daughter-in-law, not a god or a Buddha. If the princess treats us all as ministers, how will we treat you as a family member in the future?"

The old Marquis snorted coldly and muttered: "That's outrageous."

Xia Chunfeng cupped his hands and said: "Father, mother, the child is unfilial. Such a noble wife and child cannot bear the blessing. So I went to the palace to plead guilty and beg the emperor to take back this Buddha."

Liuli's expression changed, she bit her lip and said angrily: "You want to divorce me?"

Xia Chunfeng gave her a cold look: "If you don't treat my family as family, then I will treat you as my wife?"

Zhou came out to smooth things over: "What the princess said makes sense. The etiquette of a monarch and his ministers cannot be violated. The monarch and his ministers come first, and then the family. Princess, is this what you mean?"

"Fart." Xia Peishan yelled loudly.

For a moment, the whole room was shocked. No one expected that the second aunt would say these two words.

"Have you stayed in a small place like Jingzhou for so long that you have forgotten all about etiquette, justice and integrity? If you don't know how to speak human words, just shut up." Xia Peishan went straight to Zhou.

Qin Shimao whispered to his wife: "Speak carefully if you have anything to say."

Ye Jiayao's admiration for her second aunt suddenly became as continuous as a torrential river.

What a tough guy! The old Marquis is rough yet tactful, the second aunt is bold, the third uncle is cunning, and the three elders of the Xia family have different tempers.

Mrs. Zhou was stunned. She didn't expect that the second aunt would directly attack her, and her words were so unpleasant. She immediately became angry, "Damn it, don't you have two stinky money?" Why are you showing off your authority with me?

Third uncle Xia Zhuoqin spoke up to defend the Zhou family: "Second sister, what you said is too much. Are you looking down on others?"

"I think the second aunt is choking on the soot, right? She's so angry that she spits out fire when she opens her mouth. It's okay if Chunfeng is ignorant. You, the second aunt, are still here to be a stirrup. Don't add to the fire. It's not lively enough if you pour more oil on it, right? Princess Liuli is willing to marry our Xia family. That's a great favor from the emperor. It's not an exaggeration for us to be worshiped as Bodhisattvas..." Zhou said righteously, these people are all She had a problem with her, and she was determined to please Liuli and hugged her.

Liuli cast a grateful glance at Mrs. Zhou. Fortunately, there was a sensible and sensible person in this family.

Chunfeng didn't want his second aunt to quarrel over him, so he immediately sneered: "Since third aunt is so jealous, please go back and offer sacrifices to this Bodhisattva."

Liuli was so angry that she yelled at Chunfeng: "You...you are treasonous. If you do the following, I will tell the Queen Mother. Just wait and see."

"Go, go, go quickly, no one is stopping you, it's best to go and don't come back." Xia Chunfeng was not to be outdone.

Ye Jiayao held her forehead and served tea, but she was so excited that she couldn't help but think of a play she watched in modern times, "Get Drunk and Hit the Golden Boughs". Isn't Liuli a perfect replica of Princess Shengping? Maintain your noble status and don't take the father of the family seriously. The stupid guy is still dragging me here without thinking about whether I am right or not.

"Shut up, everyone." Marquis Xia Zhuofeng was furious.

This roar was like thunder striking the mountains, and its momentum was like a rainbow, shocking everyone.

Xia Zhuofeng said: "Princess, there is no need to complain. I will go into the palace to apologize to the Emperor and the Queen Mother. My temple is small and cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you."

Xia Youshi responded immediately: "Mother Sun, wait for me to change into court clothes."

Mother Sun responded: "Yes."

The two couples stood up and left. Xia Peishan also stood up, glared at Mrs. Zhou, and walked straight to Ye Jiayao: "Chunyu wife, come to your room for a cup of tea. What are these things? They are absolutely disgusting."

"Who is disgusting? Who is disgusting?" Zhou chased Xia Peishan reluctantly.

Xia Peishan smiled coldly: "Who should be disgusted?"
