Chapter 481 Tea
Yuan Ziyu followed Huo Xi into the main hall and saw Old Madam Huo and her mother-in-law looking at her with smiles. She immediately felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head shyly.
Meng looked at Yuan Ziyu with satisfaction. After so many years of waiting, she finally had this daughter-in-law.
Huo Wan even skipped over to Yuan Ziyou and affectionately took her arm: "Sister-in-law."
"Wan'er." Yuan Ziyu smiled and gently patted Huo Wan's hand.
"Okay, Wan'er, go sit aside and let your elder brother and sister-in-law serve tea." Meng said to Huo Wan with a smile.
"Oh well."
Looking at the eldest family's loving father and filial children living in harmony with each other, Yu felt a little uncomfortable and curled her lips secretly.
A maid brought a futon and placed it in front of Old Madam Huo. Yuan Ziyou took the tea handed to her by the maid with a smile and said respectfully to Old Madam Huo, "Grandma, please have some tea."
"Good boy." Old Lady Huo took the tea from Yuan Ziyou with a smile, took a sip, and then handed the gift she had prepared long ago - a pair of Hetian jade mandarin duck jade pendants, to Yuan Ziyou: "This pair of jade pendants, one for you and one for Xifei."
"Thank you, grandma." As soon as Yuan Ziyu touched the pair of jade pendants, he knew that they were made of top-quality Hetian jade, and the carving was extremely delicate, making them rare treasures.
This made Yu who was standing by extremely jealous. She had been thinking about the pair of jade pendants in the old lady's hand for a long time. She was even waiting for her son to get married so that she could ask the old lady to give the pair of jade pendants to her son and daughter-in-law. However, she never expected that today the pair of jade pendants would be given to Huo Xifei and his wife.
Yu was feeling suffocated, but due to her husband's authority, she dared not speak any more and could only be annoyed in secret.
Yuan Ziyu also offered tea to Huo Lixiu and Meng respectively. The two were 100% satisfied with their daughter-in-law and gave them a generous gift. They also advised the young couple to get along well and said some words of blessing.
The next step is to recognize relatives with the second and third wives.
Huo Lixiu is the Duke of Cheng'en, and Huo Xifei is the prince of Cheng'en. As the prince's wife, Yuan Ziyu does not need to kneel down to the elders of the second and third houses. She only needs to perform the blessing ceremony.
Yuan Ziyu greeted and acknowledged her relatives one by one, and several elders also gave gifts. The others were fine, but Yu was resentful, and the gift she prepared was not very presentable. It was a pair of pearl earrings made of very ordinary material. Yuan Ziyu did not care and accepted it with a smile. She really did not have a good impression of Yu, and she did not care at all what Yu gave her.
Besides, the Huo family had split up a long time ago, and strictly speaking, they were no longer a family. As long as Yu didn't act up, she wouldn't bother to care about her thoughts and actions.
As for the brothers and sisters-in-law of the Huo family, Yuan Ziyu also prepared gifts. The girls received a pair of gold and ruby earrings, and the boys received a set of pens and ink. They were not too expensive, but very presentable. It was obvious that the brothers and sisters-in-law were very happy to receive the gifts.
As for Huo Wan, on the surface she got the same thing as everyone else, but privately, Yuan Ziyu had already prepared a set of valuable head ornaments and some small gadgets for Huo Wan.
After serving tea, Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xi flew back to Yingfeixuan.
Now Huo Xifei has asked for leave from Emperor Kang Yuan, and plans to take Yuan Ziyu out for a trip after Yuan Ziyu returns home in three days.
When the two were discussing where to go first, Qingzhi reported that Meng was coming.
Yuan Ziyu hurried out to greet him.
"You'er, are you used to it?" Meng asked with a smile.
"Mother, I think everything is fine." Yuan Ziyu replied with a smile.
"That's good." Meng nodded and smiled, "If Fei'er bullies you, just tell me and I'll take care of it for you. I guarantee you won't be bullied by that brat."
"Okay." Yuan Ziyou glanced at Huo Xifei with a smile, then affectionately took Meng's arm and said, "Thank you, mother."
Meng felt relieved by Yuan Ziyu's repeated calls of "Mother": "Good, good, good."
After that, she turned to Yuan Ziyu and said, "You'er, you're going back to your parents' home tomorrow. This is the gift I prepared for you. If you need anything, just tell me."
As he said that, he handed Yuan Ziyu a booklet.
Yuan Ziyou took it and looked at it, and was shocked: "Mother, this is too much."
"Not much, not much." Meng smiled and said, "I stole your parents' beloved daughter. I must compensate them well, otherwise they will feel unbalanced."
These words made Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xifei laugh.
"Thank you very much, mother." Yuan Ziyu said gratefully. The more gifts this time, the more importance her in-laws attach to her. Yuan Ziyu naturally understood this and felt even more respect and gratitude towards Meng.
"What are you thanking me for? We are a family." Meng said with a smile, "As for me, I am just looking forward to holding my grandson."
"Mother--" Yuan Ziyu couldn't help feeling a little shy.
Huo Xifei, however, said calmly, "Mom, just don't worry."
"Okay, then I'll be waiting. Your grandmother is also waiting to hold her great-grandson!" Meng smiled and said a few more words to the young couple, then got up and left.
"You are not shy at all." After Meng left, Yuan Ziyu smiled and scolded Huo Xifei.
Huo Xifei raised an eyebrow, sat down next to Yuan Ziyu, and said, "What's there to be shy about? Isn't this normal?"
Yuan Ziyu smiled and said nothing.
Huo Xifei gently hugged Yuan Ziyou and said with a smile: "You'er, let's have a boy and a girl, okay? It would be best if the boy is a big brother who can protect his little sister."
"good."
"The girl must be as pretty as you."
"Maybe he likes to wield weapons and sticks, just like me."
"That's good. This way I won't be bullied. If someone doesn't have eyes, I can just go up and beat them up."
"Then you'll be in trouble. Maybe people will come to your house often to settle accounts with you." Yuan Ziyu chuckled, remembering that when he was a child, he beat people up for standing up for justice. As a result, people would come to his house every now and then to ask his father to seek justice.
Thinking that Huo Xifei might encounter something like this in the future, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.
Obviously, Huo Xifei had also thought of this, so he smiled and said, "Just like when you were a kid?"
Yuan Ziyu turned her head to look at Huo Xifei, her cheeks puffed up, and her beautiful eyes glared: "Do you dislike me?"
"No way." Huo Xifei smiled and said, "I'm happy with it. Not to mention our daughter, even if you get into trouble, I will cover it for you."
"Hate it, I'm not a child." Yuan Ziyu felt sweet in his heart and said with a smile.
"You're not a child, you're my baby!"
