Chapter 165 Two Mothers-in-law
At the Xu family's house, a newlywed couple entered the house.
Everyone's breathing was suffocated.
One is a flesh-red wide-sleeved robe with purple peony flowers, and the other is a sky-blue round-necked robe.
The girl is beautiful and the boy is handsome, they are really a perfect match.
The key point is that there is no sign on their faces that something went wrong last night...
They were all secretly surprised: Xu Ke is really capable, he managed to coax her into submission so quickly!
This bride is sensible and polite. What's more, she is so pretty.
Once it's done, everyone will have a good impression of it.
Aunt Xu stepped forward quickly, "Newcomer, come in, pay your respects to the elders."
A maid placed a cushion in front of the old man and the old lady.
Xu Ke knelt down with Mo Wen in his arms.
Old Madam Xu is old and likes colors the most. Seeing that Mo Wen is bright and generous, without any pettiness, her face is full of smiles.
The gifts given to the two elderly people were Mo Wen's own needlework and a pair of shoes.
After a quick glance, the old lady praised: "Good craftsmanship, what a clever girl!"
Old Master Xu secretly blamed Xu Ke for his mischief. He took out a large envelope and signaled the people around him to give it directly to Mo Wen...
A maid was holding a brocade box with a lid on it, which contained a set of kingfisher hairpins. This was a gift from Old Madam Xu.
Next, I kowtowed to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, offered them tea, and also gave them shoes.
Lord Xu is just like his father, with a big envelope.
Mrs. Xu bought a jade bracelet, which was green and shiny, and it was a good thing at first glance.
To be honest, Mo Wen has Wang's genes in her bones. After receiving these gifts, her grief and anger were cured a lot.
Below are uncles and aunts, and then my brother and sister-in-law.
The two elder brothers had nothing to give, so the sisters-in-law gave them pearl hairpins. Especially the second sister-in-law, although she was sour, she had a rich family and was generous.
There are three unmarried girls in the family.
The eldest brother has a son and a daughter, and the second brother also has a daughter who is less than two years old.
Mo Wen actually took out the purse that Mo Yi gave him.
Two of them have long cords so little girls can also carry them cross-body.
Several girls smiled and gestured on their bodies...
The two little nieces were even happier and wanted to put their snacks in it and carry it on their backs. The atmosphere suddenly reached a climax.
After greeting the Mo family's head, Old Master Xu stood up and said, "You guys talk, let's go to the front. Xu Ke, you come too..."
After all the men had left, the old lady said, "We are all tired today, so go and get busy. I'll stay with the third son's wife to talk."
Everyone stood up and left.
Only the old lady and Mo Wen were left in the room.
"Good child, come and sit here!" The old lady pointed to the chair nearest to her.
Mo Wen sat down gracefully.
After taking a closer look at Mo Wen, the old lady praised: "What a pretty doll! Such nice hair!"
"Thank you for the compliment, grandma. My granddaughter-in-law's sisters all have great hair." Mo Wen said with a smile.
"Well... Grandmother heard about what happened yesterday. No matter what, it was Xu Ke's fault. He didn't even make arrangements for such a big thing as getting married.
Running away on the wedding night is really disrespectful! Just now in front of so many people, I gave him some face. Don't worry, your grandfather will call him away and will definitely scold him!"
"Thank you, grandmother, for your consideration for your granddaughter-in-law. Although this matter is very embarrassing for your granddaughter-in-law..." Mo Wen lowered his head and blushed, showing that he was indeed embarrassed. But he did not show that he was insulted.
"But in fact, my granddaughter-in-law can also figure it out."
"Oh? Can you figure it out?"
"Yes, grandmother. The Xu family has a great family background. My husband is very talented and is favored by the elders. No matter how people outside look at him, they will think that he will be a hedonist and a luxury person.
However, he was able to study hard and find a better way for himself. His character, perseverance and intelligence made his grandson's wife admire him very much.
My husband is focused on his career, and my granddaughter-in-law can only support him strongly. I will never blame him for his momentary inconsideration. I hope that grandfather will just give him a little reminder and never scold him..."
The old lady felt very happy after hearing this. "No wonder he likes you. You are really a good and sensible girl!"
To her mind, if she had really married someone from a wealthy and proud family, or someone who was sensitive and thoughtful, after what happened yesterday, who knows what would have happened!
This girl has a really good heart.
"To be honest, Xu Ke has been smart and studious since he was young, and he has never made adults anxious. Even though your grandfather is a strict person, he only has praise for him. He has been successful in all aspects, so his mind is inevitably straightforward, and sometimes... he ignores other people's feelings.
He just got married, and he doesn't know what it's like to have a wife. He will get better slowly! Grandmother will teach him again."
“Grandma…” Mo Wen was a little excited, “I was feeling anxious these days before my granddaughter-in-law got married… I’ve heard that grandma is a lady of noble character, but I didn’t expect her to be so kind to the younger generation.
Wenwen has a husband like that and a grandmother like you, she is a very lucky person!"
"Good girl..." The old lady took off the bracelet on her hand, "This bracelet was given by the late Empress Dowager. You should keep it well!"
"This... this is a valuable item that you carry with you. How can I accept it? The headgear I just saw, my granddaughter..."
"If you're told to take it, take it! Ah Ling, go get Curry's whip and have her take it back to the third child! From now on, the two of you should live a good life!"
This time, Mo Wen was really moved, and his eyes were slightly hot.
He took the whip and said goodbye.
As soon as I left the old lady's courtyard, I saw Aunt Xu waiting outside.
"Third Young Madam, our Madam would like you to come over."
"Please lead the way, Madam Xu."
Aunt Xu looked at her holding two more boxes...
"It seems that the old lady likes the third young lady very much! The old lady likes to give gifts when she is happy." She joked.
"My grandmother is very kind and speaks in a humorous way."
After walking through the garden, we arrived at Mrs. Xu's yard.
"Mother-in-law!" Mo Wen stepped forward and saluted.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Please sit down."
"What happened yesterday was Xu Ke's fault. Just now, you behaved very well. It's not easy for a bride to achieve this."
My mother-in-law approved.
Mo Wen felt a pang of sadness in his heart, "Thank you, mother-in-law, for your consideration for your daughter-in-law."
I thought about it and remembered what Nanny Zhao said, that one should not pay too much attention to face.
…So, she smiled bitterly and said, “In fact, my daughter-in-law is very sad. You know, when the Xu family came to ask for marriage, my daughter-in-law didn’t dare to believe it was true…
Since I became close to the Xu family, good things have happened to my family one after another..."
Madam Xu liked hearing this and nodded slightly. Her sister was going to be the Princess of Qi, so this marriage couldn't be said to be bad.
"But last night, my daughter-in-law was terrified and cried... She didn't know how to face the recognition today..."
Madam Xu sighed and said, "I understand."
"But... in the morning, my daughter-in-law heard a maid in the yard laughing. She laughed despite her anger, but she also suddenly came to her senses."
Mrs. Xu frowned slightly.
"The Xu family hired an official matchmaker and followed the procedures meticulously. Madam, you have always been present and well-mannered in all matters of the Mo family. Moreover, the wedding cost so much money and the eight-man sedan chair was used to carry the daughter-in-law into the house, not to humiliate or tease her.
There must be a special reason why my husband is away.
If the daughter-in-law is sad and humiliated, and is angered by the girl, and starts a scene without caring about anything, then everyone in the family and outside will become a joke. The grandfather will punish the husband. The grandmother and mother-in-law will also blame the daughter-in-law for being ignorant.
Then the Xu and Mo families are not getting married, but becoming enemies. "
This is said very confidently.
The current Mo family is no longer the same as when they first got engaged to the Xu family.
It's okay to be humble, but don't take me too seriously!
Madam Xu nodded: "Xu Ke is talented and favored, and has been smooth sailing for many years. Young people are inevitably a little arrogant. They always put their own feelings first, which is not stable enough. I know this.
Everyone has to go through this process. As you get older and do more things, you will become more stable. "
"Mother-in-law is right." Mo Wen nodded.
"Jinfang from your courtyard was originally from the old lady's room. At first, she was also a clean and clever girl. For so many years, she has been the only one in the courtyard. I'm afraid she has grown up!
I've heard about this before. A girl like this who has no manners and wants to stir up trouble should not be kept by my side. You just came in and took a look. If you still can't do it, leave it to me!"
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Mo Wen felt relieved.
"I and your eldest sister-in-law are in charge of the household affairs. These are the rules, and you can't change them. What's important for you now is to get along well with Xu Ke. When we have children, I will divide a part of the property under my name among the three brothers. Then, I will hand it over to you to manage. When you have time, learn more."
"Yes. Thank you, mother-in-law."
"This set of Dongzhu jewelry was left to me by my mother. You can wear it!"
"Mother... How can I be so embarrassed? Just now, my grandmother gave me all the bracelets that the Empress Dowager gave me..."
Mrs. Xu was a little surprised: "The old lady likes girls who are sensible and pretty. You can keep them all!"
After leaving the house, Mo Wen felt that all his depression was gone, and he felt like he was reborn...
