Chapter 8 Eat it, you're welcome
When the mother-in-law is eating, the daughter-in-law needs to serve the bowls and chopsticks, add tea and serve the dishes.
Not to mention the Qi family, even in the wealthy and powerful families in the capital, this is the duty of a daughter-in-law.
Because Qi Huaijing had been rude just now, and seeing that Madam Yue looked unhappy, Chen Tang was extremely careful and stood by the table with Qin Jiangyun to serve.
Aunt Luo never ate in Madam Yue's room. After paying her respects here, she left Yujin Hall with her daughter and went back to the northern courtyard.
Qi Huaijing hadn't eaten at Yujin Hall for many years. Firstly, he was very picky about food, and secondly, he couldn't stand Mrs. Yue's nagging.
He didn't leave today, but sat steadily opposite Mrs. Yue.
Mrs. Yue didn't expect that he would really stay to have dinner with her, so she quickly asked someone to add more bowls and chopsticks, and added a few of his favorite dishes.
Of course there is also the black chicken tonic soup.
After a while, the maids prepared a table full of delicious dishes. Qin Jiangyun had been a daughter-in-law for many years and was very familiar with the process. She took the chopsticks from the maid and served the dishes to Madam Yue according to the rules.
Chen Tang observed her expression and followed her example, taking the spoon and serving a bowl of lotus seed, lily and mung bean porridge to Madam Yue, placing it respectfully beside her.
As soon as she put the bowl down, Mrs. Yue coughed lightly and was about to speak when Qi Huaijing, who was sitting next to her, suddenly spoke.
"Have another bowl."
Mrs. Yue was stunned and spoke quickly.
"Jing'er, you don't like this, so have a bowl of chicken soup."
Qi Huaijing ignored her and raised his chin towards Chen Tang, signaling her to serve him some porridge.
Chen Tang smiled, but had something in his mind - why did he not use so many maids and servants around him, but asked him to serve the porridge?
This cousin is really spoiled!
Even though she thought so, she still stepped forward respectfully, served another bowl of lotus seed porridge, and handed it to him with both hands.
Qi Huaijing stood up and walked forward, catching it with just one hand.
His other hand was not idle either, and he pushed her down onto the chair next to him.
"Sit down and eat."
Mrs. Yue was stunned.
Shen Tang was stunned.
Everyone was stunned again.
Normally, the daughter-in-law should serve the mother-in-law from beginning to end when she eats.
Only after the mother-in-law finishes her meal and gives the order, it is time for the daughter-in-law to go downstairs to eat.
Since ancient times, a daughter-in-law has been forced to become a mother-in-law after many years, and this is a way to endure people's suffering.
Qi Huaijing didn't care about that. Seeing that Chen Tang subconsciously wanted to stand up, he calmly held her down.
There were only two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, one for Madam Yue and the other for him, so he moved his own set, one by one, to Chen Tang's side.
The bowl of porridge that had just been prepared was naturally placed in front of her.
"Eat it."
As soon as Qi Huaijing moved, a smart little maid came and added a new set of bowls and chopsticks for the Third Master.
Seeing that Qin was the only one standing by to serve, Qi Huaijing looked up and smiled.
"Second sister-in-law, why don't you sit down?"
Qin Jiangyun was in a dilemma.
She had been married for several years and had never seen Qi Huaijing stay in Madam Yue's yard for dinner, and she had also... never sat down at Madam Yue's dining table.
Seeing that Mrs. Yue's face turned pale and she didn't say anything, Qi Huaijing smiled again.
"Oh yes, I forgot. We are the younger generation and it is not appropriate for us to eat at the wife's table."
After saying this, he pretended to stand up.
Mrs. Yue saw that her son rarely stayed for dinner and was about to leave again, so she quickly spoke.
"Eat, Zhou's daughter-in-law, sit down and eat."
The maids were busy getting the dishes and chopsticks.
This was the first time so many people sat at Mrs. Yue's breakfast table.
Fortunately, there are many dishes.
Qi Huaijing was satisfied, and he did not forget to pick up a piece of silver fish for Chen Tang with his chopsticks.
"Eat it. Look how much your wife loves you. I knew you liked this dish."
Shen Tang did like it, and he knew that this dish could not have been prepared by Madam Yue for him, but he still smiled gently.
"Thank you ma'am."
Seeing the young couple being so affectionate, Mrs. Yue felt more and more uncomfortable.
My son!
Did you know that I also like to eat this dish?
I've raised you for so many years, but I've never seen you pick up food for me with your chopsticks!
So, Mrs. Yue coughed lightly.
"Jing'er, mother also likes to eat whitebait."
Qi Huaijing smiled slightly, his tone very sincere.
"Then eat it, you're welcome."
Mrs. Yue: “…”
The table was silent.
After finally finishing the meal, Mrs. Yue said something again, asking Qi Huaijing to go back and rest first, and leaving Shen Tang and Qin Jiangyun to sit in the main hall, saying that the mother and her two daughters wanted to talk about something heart-to-heart.
Qi Huaijing was quite straightforward this time. He nodded, turned around and left.
Chen Tang watched him leave without saying a word, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
enemy!
She had originally made up her mind to keep a low profile and do her job well in the Qi family.
Who would have thought that on the first day, she had to watch him causing chaos in the Heavenly Palace. She thought that he would use all his martial arts to bring her back safely.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly used this move, catching her off guard.
What an enemy.
When Mrs. Yue saw that her son had finally left, she breathed a sigh of relief and her face looked a little more relaxed.
"Jing'er's wife!"
Chen Tang hurriedly stood up and bowed his head in response.
"Mrs."
"Our two families were originally relatives, and now we are even closer, which is a good thing. As for you, you are a daughter of an official family, and you know the rules best. But there are two things that I, as a mother-in-law, have to say..."
Before Mrs. Yue could utter these two sentences, the curtain suddenly moved.
Qi Huaijing strode in again, tall and slender, and stood in front of the hall.
"I was in such a hurry to leave just now that I forgot something important."
Mrs. Yue was stunned.
"Oh? What's the big deal?"
Chen Tang thought to himself, this person finally remembered to take him back.
Qi Huaijing smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.
"The tea ceremony, where is the tea ceremony Madam gave us?"
Mrs. Yue: “…”
Chen Tang: “…”
Nanny Sun hurriedly asked the maid to serve the tea. Qi Huaijing glanced at it, nodded, and turned back to wink at Chen Tang.
"Madam, look how much the wife loves us!"
Chen Tang understood, stood up and walked to his side, bowing to Madam Yue.
"Thank you ma'am."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Huaijing pulled him up again.
“Let’s go!”
This time, I finally brought her along.
