Chapter 141: Tea and a Show of Power



The daughter of the Jiang family was educated, and her family gave her a formal name, Huigu.

On the eve of marrying Gu Dazhu, her grandfather and parents told her that after marrying into the Gu family, she had to seize the opportunity to win her husband's heart.

As long as her husband's heart is with her, her father-in-law and mother-in-law are just a matter of face.

Respect them on the surface, but don't take them seriously in secret.

Jiang Huigu initially thought that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were born in the mud and didn't know a single word, so what knowledge could they have?

However, when she saw her mother-in-law coming this morning, Jiang Huigu couldn't help but stare again and again.

She really didn't expect that her mother-in-law would dress like this...

She was obviously an old person, but the color of her clothes was so fresh. I don't know whose craftsmanship this is, the style and pattern of this dress are something she has never seen before.

Noticing that her daughter-in-law was stunned, Chen Xuanxuan smiled faintly.

She checked in on the Qiongheihei app every day and received cash red envelopes... After accumulating for more than a year, she finally saved enough money for the few sets of clothes she liked!

She used to be a girl who loved beauty.

In the past, she liked dark colors, black, gray, and other simple and low-key colors. But since she traveled through time, no matter whether she was in the village, in the county, or in some other towns, the people she met were all rustic!

Those villagers often wore khaki, navy blue, black, gray, dark brown... She didn't see anyone with brighter colors at all.

Later, she secretly inquired, and she slowly realized that in this backward feudal ancient society, dyes were quite expensive.

Only those who have a little money at home are eligible to wear red, yellow, green... and other nice colors.

Every day when she opens her eyes, she sees either the yellow earth or the gray and khaki villagers. After a long time, Chen Xuanxuan misses those colorful colors very much.

The outfit she wore today was something she had seen on the Qiongheihei app for a long time.

A few days ago, she was willing to spend money to buy it from there. The

light green top, the pink collar tie, and the light yellow pleated ponytail skirt... made her look 10 years younger.

In addition, her carefully designed bun and the fake flower on her head... caused Gu Yanzhang to not sleep well all night last night.

Thinking of what Gu Yanzhang said last night, saying that she was so beautiful, Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help laughing.

Hearing her laughter, Gu Yanzhang hurried out of the newly renovated main room.

Seeing his wife was so tender and pretty, he quickly said, "Wife, just leave the cooking to the third and fourth sons. Let's sit down and wait for the two daughters-in-law to serve tea!"

Hearing this, Chen Xuanxuan sighed softly, then she turned around and asked Gu Sanzhu, "Sanzhu, have you brewed the tea that your eldest and second sisters-in-law want to serve?"

Gu Sanzhu said loudly, "Mom, I brewed it a long time ago. The tea bowls are ready. We are just waiting for the eldest and second sisters-in-law to come and bring the tea over in person."

Chen Xuanxuan listened and nodded softly.

After smiling gently at Jiang Huigu, he left the kitchen and went to the main hall of the three new rooms facing north and south.

...

Seeing her mother-in-law leave, Jiang Huigu frowned and was stunned. I don't know what she was thinking.

Gu Sanzhu saw his sister-in-law standing here, not knowing how to move. He thought for a while and took out a tray. After putting a teapot and a few teacups on it, he handed it to her.

"Sister-in-law, my parents are waiting now! You should bring the tea over quickly..."

Nanny Quanfu had already told them clearly about the wedding process and the rules and etiquette after the daughter-in-law entered the house.

Nanny Quanfu's surname was Li. She

was the wet nurse of the wife of a deceased county magistrate more than ten years ago. She gave birth to six children in her lifetime, all of whom grew up, got married and had children. After the county magistrate died in office, his wife released her from slavery. For more than ten years, Nanny Li's family has lived in the county town.

She has an old relationship with Captain Huang.

Captain Huang invited her to come over to save face for Chen Xuanxuan.

Nanny Li was entrusted by someone and did her job carefully.

She explained the procedures and rules of the wedding countless times. Everyone in the Gu family now knows them by heart.

However, Jiang Huigu and Ma Daya only know a little about it.

At the beginning, Chen Xuanxuan wanted to inform the girl's family and let the eldest and second daughters-in-law know about these procedures. However, Nanny Li said that this could not be done.

Because the man has to give them a head start when he marries his daughter-in-law.

Thinking of some people who deliberately buy small clothes and shoes for their daughters-in-law before they come in, Chen Xuanxuan immediately understood.

Now Jiang Huigu walked in with a tea tray and a confused look on her face, so Chen Xuanxuan said to her, "Just put the tea tray on this table. Now call everyone else in."

There are eight seats in this hall.

They are all some second-hand goods that Gu Yanzhang bought from the pawnshop in Tongzhen.

The things are not very exquisite. But they are much more decent than ordinary farmers.

After Gu Yu'an and Yu came in, they sat in the first seat.

Gu Yanzhang and Chen Xuanxuan sat in the second seats on both sides. As for the other children, they were all standing at this time.

After serving tea to the elders, the elders have to take out something to show their appreciation.

Chen Xuanxuan gave her two daughters-in-law a red purse. On it was embroidered a lotus flower. Inside was a red rope hairband. There was also a mini round fan less than the size of a palm, embroidered with a peony flower.

She bought all these things on the Qionghehe app. Since they are all small commodities produced in Yiwu, their cost is low.

...

After Jiang Huigu got the purse given by Chen Xuanxuan, she was still very curious.

Just as she was touching the purse in a daze, Gu Sizhu, who was standing aside, jumped out anxiously.

"Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, do we have any gifts for meeting each other?"

After hearing this, Jiang Huigu looked up at the elders sitting there. She found that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were drinking tea at this time, and her great-grandfather and mother-in-law were looking at her expectantly. She opened her mouth and took out a few copper plates from her waist bag. After

giving everyone a copper plate, Jiang Huigu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Fortunately, her grandfather gave her some personal money during this period of time. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed now.

Jiang Huigu breathed a sigh of relief, while Ma Daya, who was standing aside, cried anxiously in her heart.

The eldest sister-in-law was born in a good family, and her family was a scholarly family. She could take out money easily.

And what about her?

Hard life!

The family that stood on the stall was such a family.
