Chapter 594 Wife's Tea

The new house is spacious and expansive. Although it has been newly renovated, it does not have any extra smell. The red sandalwood plums planted in advance have bloomed, so if you can calm down, you can naturally smell the faint plum fragrance.

This is also the second time that Xing Xiang and Mrs. Xing have come here. Compared with their house, the location is a little weaker, but it is larger and more spacious, especially here, there are also left and right cross-yards, and in the future, even if three or four generations live together, it will be easy to live.

So although Mrs. Xing smiled on her face, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart.

However, today's events are also a glory for their Xing family, and she won't rush to offend her younger brother and sister-in-law and nephew.

However, she came with great hospitality, but it was not her who entertained the women in the backyard with Aunt Xing, but the eldest aunt, second aunt and fourth aunt of the Gu family.

When they came out, Madam Xing couldn't say anything even if she was unwilling, especially the aunt of the Gu family, who was from the same clan as her, the Wang family. If she really compared their status, she was naturally inferior to the aunt.

She had developed this habit when she was in her natal family. Even though she was the mother of the imperial concubine and the wife of the prime minister, she was still a little scared when facing the aunt of the Gu family, so it was better not to provoke her.

Therefore, under the leadership of Aunt Xing and the aunt of the Gu family, the backyard was unusually harmonious, and even people from the Earl's Mansion and the Li family did not show any problems.

However, the Countess did not show up on the pretext of taking care of Lord Yan, but asked her daughter-in-law, the wife of the Minister, Li, to come on her behalf. She and her husband had to support the Earl's Mansion, so they would naturally not take the initiative to cause trouble, making it difficult for both parties to step down.

When Du Jingyi and Du Jingxiang accompanied Madam Du to the backyard, they became the focus.

The Du family married off their daughter three times, and to be honest, this time was the most proud moment.

The first time, they traveled thousands of miles to Pingzhou, and the physical fatigue was only secondary. In their hearts, they were still somewhat worried about her marrying far away.

The second time, although the youngest daughter was married in Sui'an City, the other party was a high-ranking Duke's Mansion, which was not compatible with their own family in the first place, so even on the day of the wedding, when the whole house cheered, they were not happy from the bottom of their hearts.

But this time was different. The man was in love with the concubine, and the elders of the two families were also harmonious. Moreover, the previous two daughters lived a happy life, so she also hoped that this good luck could be superimposed on this marriage.

So, she liked everyone she saw and liked everything she heard.

"Mother-in-law, you are finally here."

Aunt Xing hurried over when she saw Mrs. Du. Her attitude largely determined everyone's opinions on the Du family and the new daughter-in-law, so her enthusiasm made many ladies watch the excitement.

Everyone thought that the Du family was really amazing. First, a biological daughter married into the Gu family and rose to become the first-class lady Gu. Now, there is another goddaughter who married into the Xing family.

Her husband Xing Zhao is a handsome man with a bright future. The Xing family is a famous and prestigious family in Jinling City. The couple only has one son. Isn't it a huge family property left to the young couple?

The two sons-in-law really ensured the glory of their Du family for life.

Aunt Xing was enthusiastic, and Mrs. Du was not cold-faced. She hurried over and said happily.

"Today is the big day for the two children. I'm sorry to trouble my mother-in-law."

"Why do you say that? I'm looking forward to Meng Niang entering our Xing family. With her here, my boy will finally have a family. In the future, we can wait to hold our grandchildren."

She spoke cheerfully, which was something everyone knew, so everyone in the room laughed.

"The bride is here, Madam. The master invites you and everyone to come over."

"Oh, you're back so soon? Come on, come on, I've been waiting for this cup of bride's tea for many years. I must have a few sips today!"

After saying this, Aunt Xing invited everyone to the front hall.

Not long after she tidied her clothes and sat down, Xing Zhao came in with a high-spirited look on his face, bringing the bride in. The matchmaker next to him kept saying auspicious words, and Xing Zhao's brothers around him also joined in.

Therefore, the atmosphere was particularly lively, and the three elders Xing and Aunt Xing were all very moved. They finally waited for this cup of bride's tea.

Du Jingyi was on the side, witnessing their ceremony. It was not until the matchmaker shouted, "Send to the bridal chamber" that she pulled herself out of her memories.

The day she got married, she was not as happy as today.

Some uneasiness, some helplessness, but more uncertainty about the future.

Now, everything has turned into companionship and longing. She turned her head to look outside the door. If possible, she hoped that her husband would be standing there.

After the ceremony, Xia Meng was naturally sent back to the courtyard, and Du Jingyi went over to comfort her for a few words before going to the backyard.

Today, they are both the family of the mother and the family of the husband, so they naturally became the target of "siege" by everyone. Although they did not drink as fast and fiercely as the adults and boys in the front hall, it was still enough for them to get drunk.

Fortunately, they had a fourth aunt here. Her alcohol tolerance was beyond that of Gu Shaoyu and Xing Zhao, not to mention these ladies, so they went up one by one and fell down one by one.

The room prepared for everyone to sober up was almost full, and the sobering soup in the backyard was delivered one bowl after another. Aunt Xing was very satisfied. However, after this party, the ladies began to take a detour when they saw Aunt Four.

You can't afford to offend, but you can still avoid it.

Finally, when leaving the Xing family, to be honest, Du Jingyi felt a little dizzy.

Sitting in the carriage, she almost vomited from time to time. Fortunately, the journey was not far. When she got home, she took two more hangover pills and woke up a little.

But the wind and snow were still blowing outside, so she naturally fell asleep.

She slept until dawn, and when she woke up, the wind and snow outside had stopped.

Her head didn't hurt, but the smell of alcohol on her body made Du Jingyi feel disgusted, so she shouted.

"Cherry."

Cherry came in from the outside with a cup of water in her hand. After drinking the warm honey water, Du Jingyi felt much more relaxed.

"Madam, the hot water is ready. Do you want to wash up now?"

"Let's wash up, so you don't have to smell like alcohol, which is very uncomfortable."
