On that day, Madam Ouyang also gave her a gold hairpin that came with her as a dowry.
Hua Fushu said: "Aunt, I, I..."
Dugu Lanxi jokingly said, "Fushu, you and your second brother have married and entered the bridal chamber. You are a proper couple, yet you still call me aunt. It's time to change your words."
Hua Fushu was clearly unhappy, "Sister-in-law Dugu."
Ye Zelin coughed lightly.
Dugu Lanxi thought they were just being shy and stopped teasing them. She said to Madam Ouyang and Ye Shiheng, "Father, Mother, my sister-in-law and my second brother are here too. It's time to drink tea with the new bride."
Madam Ouyang was so busy instructing Hua Fushu that she almost forgot about this matter. She said to her maid A Yu, "Bring the tea."
Ah Yu bowed, said yes, and walked to the back hall. Madam Ouyang straightened her clothes and sat upright, like a noble lady. Ye Shiheng also sat upright, but unlike Madam Ouyang, he did not have the solemnity that she did.
After a while, Ayu and Cuizhi brought tea, with two sky-blue lotus tea cups on each of the two mahogany trays.
Ye Zelin glanced at Hua Fushu, and Hua Fushu also looked at him, and they both took a step forward almost at the same time.
Ah Yu approached Ye Zelin and said, "Second Master, please serve tea to the Madam and the General."
Ye Zelin brought a cup of tea with both hands, bowed and placed it in front of Madam Ouyang, and said respectfully, "Mother, please have some tea."
Mrs. Ouyang took the teacup and took a few sips. A Yu came forward and Mrs. Ouyang placed the tea in her hand on the tray.
Mrs. Ouyang brought a red envelope, Ye Zelin took it with both hands and said thank you.
Ye Zelin brought another cup of tea to Ye Shiheng. Ye Shiheng drank the tea and said earnestly, "Zelin, you always thought you were an adult, but now you have a family and are a real adult. Hua'er is the apple of your Master Taishan's eye. You must treat Hua'er well and never forget the traditions of our Ye family."
Ye Zelin glanced at Hua Fushu from the corner of his eye before saying to Ye Shiheng, "Son, I understand."
Hua Fushu listened, quite curious. What was the Ye family's tradition? Why did Ye Shiheng solemnly instruct Ye Zelin like this?
Ye Shiheng also gave Ye Zelin a red envelope, but this red envelope was smaller than the one given to Madam Ouyang.
It was Hua Fushu's turn to serve tea.
Cuizhi walked to Hua Fushu's side. Today, she was wearing a light pink dress and had her hair in twin buns. She looked pretty and charming. "Young Madam, please serve tea to the General and Madam."
The lush flowers were pleasing to the eye and he smiled.
Sanqiao was wearing a half-new wedding dress, which was also very pretty. She brought the teacup on the tray to Hua Fushu.
Hua Fushu took the teacup, took a step closer to Ye Shiheng, bowed, held the tea in both hands and offered it to Ye Shiheng, and said softly: "Eunuch, please have some tea."
Ye Shiheng was overjoyed at being called "father-in-law". He took the teacup and said cheerfully, "Good, what a good daughter-in-law!"
Hua Fushu raised a smug smile, revealing ill intentions, but because she was bent over with her chin lowered, Ye Shiheng did not see Hua Fushu's smug smirk.
Ye Shiheng slowly drank the cup of tea. Hua Fushu had raised his head at this time and watched Ye Shiheng finish the tea without leaving a drop, with a satisfied smile in his eyes.
Ye Shiheng gave Hua Fushu a red envelope, and Hua Fushu naturally accepted it.
Sanqiao brought another cup of tea to Hua Fushu. Hua Fushu held the tea in both hands and gave it to Madam Ouyang. Madam Ouyang took a few sips of tea and then placed the cup on the tray held by Ayu.
Madam Ouyang also gave Hua Fushu a red envelope, which Hua Fushu naturally accepted. Madam Ouyang picked up the pear blossom pattern brocade box and handed it to Hua Fushu, "Hua'er."
Hua Fushu reached out to take it, but Ruhuan looked at her, so Hua Fushu withdrew her hand. Madam Ouyang extended it again, "Here, flowers."
Seeing Ruhuan's unhappy look, Hua Fushu refused.
Madam Ouyang stood up and handed it to Hua Fushu again, pretending to be displeased, "Hua'er, take it. If you don't take it, you don't recognize me as your mother-in-law."
At this point, Hua Fushu had no choice but to accept it. Dugu Lanxi said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you open it and see what good thing mother gave you."
Hua Fushu was about to open the brocade box when Madam Ouyang hurriedly stopped him, "Don't open it, go back to your room and take a look."
The flowers really didn't bloom.
Ye Zelin sat down in the first seat on the left. Hua Fushu was about to take the second seat when Dugu Lanxi stood up and called out to Hua Fushu, "Sister-in-law, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Hua Fushu said, "What's the matter? We can talk about it here."
Dugu Lanxi said, "You should go out with me for a while."
Hua Fushu said, "Okay."
Hua Fushu followed Dugu Lanxi out, and Sanqiao followed. The three of them went to the backyard. It was spring, the sun was shining, and the scenery was beautiful and pleasant.
Dugu Lanxi said, "Sister-in-law, wash your hands and make soup, and let my sister-in-law taste it first. This is what every new bride in the Ye family must do on the second day after marriage. It is also a tradition in our family. I remember when I first married Su Qing, I also went to the kitchen to cook. Not all women are virtuous, but being able to cook a meal for your family and lover is also a kind of happiness."
Hua Fushu said truthfully: "But I can't cook."
Dugu Lanxi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's good to cook a pot of porridge."
Hua Fushu had no choice but to go to the kitchen, but she really couldn't cook, and the only dish she could offer was a dish that couldn't even be considered a dish. Watching Hua Fushu enter the kitchen, Dugu Lanxi left happily.
Hua Fushu was troubled when he saw the pots, pans, vegetables and meat. Sanqiao looked at Hua Fushu and said, "Miss, how about I help you with it?"
"I can do it myself." Hua Fushu decisively refused. He paced back and forth in the kitchen. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he smiled and said, "I got it."
