The first light of dawn.
The blinding sunlight shone into the new house through the slightly open window, hitting Da Niu's face and waking her from her deep sleep.
Da Niu opened her eyes, looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, and paused for a moment before remembering that she was already married and that this was the Liang family home.
The blankets beside me were already cold.
It seems that Dazhu had gotten up and gone to work a long time ago, but he didn't wake me up.
"You've had a hard night, get some sleep, and don't rush to get up tomorrow morning."
Remembering Dazhu's thoughtful instructions from last night, Da Niu blushed, initially feeling sweet, but then panicked.
Dazhu was considerate of her and told her not to rush to get up, but as a new bride, how could she sleep in comfortably on her first day of marriage?
According to the rules of the Great Sheng Dynasty, a new bride must take over the household chores from the very first day she marries into her husband's family, and she also needs to cook for the whole family!
Speaking of which, today is New Year's Day, and every household is going to make and eat dumplings.
Making dumplings is a delicate task, and I don't know if she can still make it now that she's up.
If I miss it, I don't know how much Dazhu and Aunt Liang will dislike me...
She's only been married for one day. If she's already disliked by her husband and mother-in-law on the very first day, how will she ever be able to live a normal life in her husband's family?
The more Da Niu thought about it, the more panicked she became. She didn't even have time to comb her hair; she just quickly grabbed it a couple of times before putting on her clothes and rushing to the kitchen.
Almost as soon as she stepped out of the room, Da Niu smelled a unique aroma of dumplings.
Oh no, it seems Aunt Liang and the others, seeing that she hadn't gotten up, had already wrapped and cooked the dumplings themselves.
She can't help at all now that she's in the kitchen, and she might even get scolded.
However, she was indeed wrong today, and she deserved the scolding; she couldn't avoid it.
Da Niu took a deep breath, suppressed her sadness, and mustered her courage to walk into the kitchen.
However, when she entered the kitchen, she was not scolded as she had expected.
"Sister Da Niu, you've come at the perfect time!"
"The dumplings are ready! We made pork and scallion dumplings and pork and cabbage dumplings today. They're all delicious, come and try some!"
Da Niu looked up in surprise and saw that Wan Shu and the others not only did not scold her for waking up late, but they were all smiling and inviting her to come and eat dumplings.
She had never seen any in-laws treat their new daughter-in-law so well.
The girl was at a loss because of their attitude and stood there stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Da Niu looked uncomfortable, Wan Shu put down his chopsticks and went over to pull Da Niu to sit down next to him.
"Come on, Da Niu, sit down and eat with us. Da Zhu has gone to deliver goods and probably won't be back until noon. Now that you've married into our family, you're one of us, so don't try to reason with us or be polite."
Aunt Liang not only didn't blame her, but also comforted her so considerately...
While Da Niu was moved, she felt even more guilty. With tears in her eyes, she spoke with shame.
"Aunt Liang, I'm so sorry. Today is my first day as a married woman. I'm supposed to be the one making the dumplings, but... but I'm so bad at etiquette. I overslept. I promise this will never happen again. From now on, I'll make breakfast every day!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Shu was stunned.
Because she never expected that Da Niu would regard her status so low and have such a humble attitude.
She felt that the reason why Da Niu acted this way was because it was ancient times and women had a relatively low status.
Secondly, it was also because of Li Chuanzong's past domestic violence and abuse that left a significant psychological scar on Da Niu.
She held Da Niu's hand tenderly and comforted her, "Da Niu, now that you've married into our family, you're one of us. As family, we don't need to worry about these things."
"Breakfast is usually made by me, Er Ya, and San Shun in turns. Whoever gets up early or has time does it, and that will continue in the future. You don't need to take on everything yourself. Also..."
Wan Shu suddenly put on a stern face.
"You're already married into the family, why are you still calling me 'Auntie'? If you keep calling me that, I won't be happy."
Upon hearing what was said earlier, Da Niu thought to herself that the past was the past, and now that she was married into the family, it was her responsibility to prepare breakfast.
She was about to say it, but when she heard what Wan Shu said next, she realized that she had forgotten to change her words.
She was worried that Wan Shu would be really unhappy about this, so she didn't say anything more about the breakfast arrangement and quickly changed her mind, blushing.
"Yes, it was my fault, Mother..."
"Why!"
Wan Shumei responded with a happy smile and laughed again.
Seeing this, Er Ya and the others chuckled to themselves.
"From now on, we won't call her 'Big Sister' anymore, we'll just call her 'Sister-in-law,' hehehe!"
"Sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law!"
"Why……"
Sitting in the corner, Emperor Hongxing felt a pang of sadness and envy upon seeing this joyful scene.
Although he was the emperor and possessed unparalleled wealth and power, his family had never been so close to him.
He didn't even have many family members.
My father and mother have long since passed away.
He had many brothers and sisters, but they were not close; in fact, they even turned against each other for the throne.
The only person with whom he had a relatively close relationship was King Wen, who shared the same mother as him.
