This is the first time I've heard of a legitimate husband being asked to learn etiquette from his concubine.
Han Zeyu looked straight at the eldest lady. "Don't you feel embarrassed when you say this?" Is it that the wife of the first wife can't teach the rules, or is it that the concubine's rules are better than the wife of the first wife?
Mrs. Su Wang knew what was going on and wanted to ignore it, but being stared at like that made her feel a little uncomfortable. She wanted to divert attention, so she beckoned, "Yuanyuan, come here and take a look at this cake. Is it good-looking?"
The chubby little girl was attracted by the flower-shaped pastries. She came to the eldest lady and stretched out her two little hands to touch them.
Aunt Chen pretended to scold her, "Thank you to the Madam first, you can't just take it directly. You girl, you still haven't learned the rules well."
"What are you talking about? She's still a child. Just teach her slowly."
The two of them sang in unison, quite harmoniously. Su Shien couldn't help but admire, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect Aunt Chen to be so well-mannered. It must be thanks to the Madam's good guidance."
Mrs. Su Wang frowned. When did this kid learn to speak in a sarcastic and sarcastic way?
Han Zeyu stood up and casually patted the pouch on his waist, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Madam Chen, please lead the way! You are here to teach me the rules. I must learn them well, otherwise others will say that I married into the Su family but didn't even learn the rules well, and that your teachings were in vain."
These words put Aunt Chen in a difficult position.
Teach him now, for fear that this boy will do something inappropriate in the future and the eldest lady will bring up the past.
But if I don’t teach her, the lady has already said what she said. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to take it back now?
Unexpectedly, this crude young man was quite good at making excuses. Madam Su pondered for a moment, then softened her tone, "The Su Mansion doesn't have so many rules and regulations, and we don't want to impose them on a bride. I need to prepare gifts for you to return home, and I really can't leave. I'll just let Concubine Chen take you around so you can get familiar with the environment. After all, as a man, Shi En needs to avoid certain things."
Han Zeyu was quite moved and said, "I misunderstood Madam. You are such a kind person, not at all like the evil mother-in-law that was rumored. You are so thoughtful, I am so touched."
The eldest lady who was given the good guy card was not moved at all, and she asked who was the evil mother-in-law!
Han Zeyu followed Aunt Chen away. Su Shien saw the hint given to him by Yuger and thought that his wife had been wronged, so he had to ask for more gifts this time.
Mrs. Su Wang gave the gift list to Su Shien and asked him to keep it carefully.
In the past, Su Shien didn't care much about similar things. Since the wet nurse liked to worry about these things, he let her do it.
Now that there is another owner in his courtyard, these things should naturally be left to Yu Ge'er to decide.
But before handing over the list, Su Shien unfolded it in front of the eldest lady and read it carefully.
Mrs. Su Wang was a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, she believed that it must have been Han Zeyu's instruction. That young man was used to making money, and Su Shien actually cooperated with him. He was really blinded by lust.
Su Shien looked at the details on the list. It should be the normal specifications of a return gift. There are no omissions, but it is definitely not outstanding.
This is the first time he goes home after getting married, and it concerns Yu Ge'er's reputation in Yunshan Village, so the more gifts he brings back, the better.
Su Shien pondered, "This is the first time Yu'er has left home since he was a child. I want to stay with him in Yunshan Village for a few more days. I have to bring more food, rations, and luggage. It would be bad if word got out that the eldest son of the Su family was eating, drinking, and staying at the Yue family for free. It would be embarrassing if that happened."
Su Wangshi suspected she had misheard. "As a husband, you're going back to live with your husband at your father-in-law's house. What are you planning to do? Are you going to marry into the family and become a son-in-law?"
"I know you love your husband, but this behavior is against the rules. Living in Yue's house right after getting married, how will others view you and the Su family? Do you still want to maintain your reputation? Are you still going to take the imperial examination?"
Su Shien seemed to have been hit in a sore spot, and immediately became dejected. He said in a low mood: "I know that the Autumn Examination is approaching and my father will be returning soon. This should be the most comfortable period of my life. As for the fame and honor of the scholar, I will just let it take its course..."
Su Wangshi's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that she couldn't separate the couple in a hurry now. First, she had to wait for the master to come back, and second, she had to wait for the news of the autumn examination results.
Never mind. I’ve been through all these years, so a month or so won’t make any difference. I believe he won’t be able to do anything weird.
Madam Su sighed and feigned concern, "Do you want to go there to relax? Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The Autumn Examination only takes place once every three years, and you'll definitely pass."
If you ask this, Su Shien will no longer be depressed. The man who was dejected just now suddenly has a light in his eyes.
"Isn't the autumn harvest coming soon? I can help the Han family when I go there. Yu'er's younger brother is going to take the Tongsheng exam this year. As someone who has been through it, I can give him some advice."
Mrs. Su Wang found that since Su Shien got engaged, she was often speechless. The child's entire mind was drawn to Han Zeyu, and his thoughts had deviated from the normal range. She really couldn't connect with him.
The morning's battle was not completely fruitless. At least it made Su Wangshi determined to have the people around Yunsong keep a close eye on him and not let him fall in love before he achieves success.
Su Shien is now as restless as if he has separation anxiety disorder, and he feels uncomfortable all over when he is away from Yuger for a while.
After asking for leave, Su Shien stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave first. As a man, it's not appropriate for Yu'er to stay with Concubine Chen for a long time."
Su Shi'en left in a cool manner, but Su Wangshi was choked by him. It was okay that Han Zeyu regarded her as a man, but why did Su Shi'en also agree with him? Could it be that he had a habit of sharing peaches and having homosexuality?
Stop thinking about it now. Su Wang patted her chest and pushed Su Shiyuan to the maid beside her. She had to go back to the room and lie down for a while to calm her mind.
Han Zeyu followed Aunt Chen around and thought that the Su Mansion’s area was indeed quite large, worthy of being an old house with a long history.
Aunt Chen walked gracefully and elegantly, and it was impossible for her to keep up with Han Zeyu's speed.
At first, she was walking in front and introducing Han Zeyu, but later she just followed behind and answered Han Zeyu's endless questions.
Aunt Chen, who was so tired and panting, leaned against the wall to rest and asked the people in front to walk slower, as she could hardly catch up.
Han Zeyu said with horror: "Auntie, why are you chasing me? You and I are of similar age, so we should keep our distance. As the saying goes, people's words are scary, and men and women should not touch each other. I hope Auntie will respect herself."
The surroundings were silent for a while, the birds stopped flying and the cicadas stopped chirping. Aunt Chen looked incredulous. Was she just splashed with dirty water?
