"Madam, how about I go?" Lan Ningshuang said hurriedly. After learning so much from the Liu family's grandma, she always had a hunch that if the young lady left at this time, something might happen to the middle finger in the lobby!
After all, she had already smelled something unusual.
"It doesn't matter, just go with Jianli, there are so many guests here today.
Naturally, Jianli, as the principal wife, must not lose her etiquette, otherwise, others will think that I, the mother-in-law, did not teach her well." Concubine Qing said with a smile, her face was kind, but there was obviously something behind her words.
She was giving the Dragon Clan people a warning, and she was also reminding Jianli of her status in the Qin Mansion - the head wife!
What a powerful mother-in-law. Er Niang was surprised because she had only met the concubine Qing very few times.
In the past, my impressions mostly focused on appearance. I felt that Jian Li was so beautiful because she inherited it from her biological mother.
But she never expected that such a quiet and gentle girl like Jian Li would have such a sharp-tongued mother.
What a huge difference.
At the same time, she was also glad that Jianli's personality was not like that of her biological mother.
Otherwise, her family status may be threatened
When Qin Feng heard this, his heart was in his throat. Was She Niu's mother-in-law full of fire when she came up?
He turned his head to look at his wife and cast a look of help, hoping that she would stay and make the atmosphere less tense.
But Liu Jianli obviously didn't understand his look, and asked instead: "Ms. sir, do you also want to drink tea?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him one after another.
"Ah? Well." Feeling the attention of everyone, Qin Feng smiled and nodded in response, and specially emphasized: "Come back early."
"Yeah." Liu Jianli didn't think much and left the lobby with Lan Ningshuang.
When the mother-in-law saw this, she added, "My son-in-law and Jian Li are so loving that they don't want to be separated for even a second, which makes everyone laugh.
Unlike some men who like to eat from the bowl and look at the pot.
By the way, good son-in-law, when will your wedding to the Dragon Clan be held? Do you need help from the Liu family?"
No, don't order me again. Qin Feng looked at his father, who lowered his head to drink tea and looked away.
He looked at Er Niang, who loved him dearly, and Er Niang opened her mouth to speak but stopped.
It's not that the latter doesn't want to help, it's just that the family has always been short of opponents and the second mother, who lacks practical experience, is really helpless.
In desperation, Qin Feng could only turn to his father-in-law, the god of war.
When Liu Tianlu saw this, he deliberately coughed a few times, and then glanced at the concubine without leaving any trace.
This was to remind the latter that the Liu family were guests and it was rude to be so aggressive.
Concubine Qing pretended not to see it, but said with concern: "Sir, your throat feels uncomfortable? Don't worry, Jianli has gone to bring tea, and he will be back in a while."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the Dragon Clan people and said, "The Dragon Clan woman is really as talented as the rumors say. I wonder which girl is going to marry into the Qin Mansion?"
"Dragon women are not allowed to see outsiders before they leave the palace. We are here today just to discuss marriage matters with the Qin family.
However, if we had known that the Liu family would come, we would definitely choose to visit on another day, otherwise, it would be disrespectful and make people laugh."
A soft voice sounded, and Concubine Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, searching for the sound.
What caught his eye was a woman in a black dress, leaning on the tea table with her chin in one hand, looking lazy. She was Cang Mu.
This person is not simple. The concubine and concubine are as if they are facing a formidable enemy.
This remark may seem casual, but it has two meanings.
The first is to show the magnanimity of the Dragon Clan and their understanding of propriety. The second is to point her out, without knowing the etiquette. When the Dragon Clan comes here to discuss important matters, they don't know how to retreat proactively.
"It doesn't matter, I didn't know you were coming before I came, otherwise I wouldn't have come to bother you." Concubine Qing said with a smile.
The concierge outside the lobby had a strange look on his face when he heard this.
catch
The following development made Qin Feng know what war without gunpowder is, and also what it means to fight with words.
She Niu’s mother-in-law and Cang Mu exchange words with each other, seemingly polite, but in reality there is hidden murderous intent everywhere.
This reminded Qin Feng of the palace fighting drama he had watched in his previous life, and the scene now was exactly the same.
At the same time, he was also glad that fortunately his wife's personality did not follow that of his mother-in-law, otherwise he would have lived a life filled with fear.
In the lobby, only two women's voices could be heard. The other men sat silently, not daring to say a word.
The battle didn't come to an end until Liu Jianli returned with Ningshuang and a tea cup.
Madam, you are finally back. Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"This dragon girl is not simple. If she were to marry a dragon girl from the Qin Mansion, she would be half as good as this one. No, even if she only has 10% of her skill, Jianli would be in trouble.
No, I have to teach Jianli well today to avoid being overtaken by someone who comes after me."
Concubine Qing, who was thinking like this, looked at her daughter and saw that she was making tea for the woman in black dress. She immediately got angry. Isn't this a clear sign that she is easy to bully?
Just at this moment, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats outside the Qin Mansion, and the sound of the imperial edict falling into the ears of everyone in the Qin Mansion.
Qin Feng and others came to the door to receive the edict. The person who issued the edict was still Eunuch Li.
Generally speaking, ordinary imperial edicts were mostly promulgated by people from Haowen Court. Only the edicts that Emperor Ming paid more attention to would be read out by his confidant Eunuch Li, just like the last time.
Everyone is curious about what the imperial edict will be this time.
After Eunuch Li finished reading, not only the Qin family and others, but even the Dragon and Liu families were quite surprised.
This time, Emperor Ming actually asked the Ministry of Rites to handle the engagement between Qin Feng and the Dragon Clan. Even the betrothal gift for the Dragon Clan, Emperor Ming said he would pay for it!
"Why don't you accept the order quickly?" Eunuch Li said with a smile.
Qin Feng came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
After the imperial edict was handed over, Eunuch Li asked again: "Can the date of marriage be confirmed?"
Qin Feng shook his head. Originally, the dragon clan came here to discuss marriage, but it was disturbed by She Niu's mother-in-law.
At this time, Cang Zong, who was not far away, said calmly: "Before getting married, a woman from the Dragon Clan must purify herself for three days. After three days, she can get married at any time.
But you humans have always been particular about good times and auspicious days, and it’s up to you to decide when they are.”
When Eunuch Li heard this, he said, "If our memory is correct, it will be a good time to get married in five days. It will be an auspicious day."
How about setting it on that day, what do you think?"
"Okay." Cang Zong responded.
Qin Feng looked back at his parents, and after seeing them nodding, he replied: "It's all up to Eunuch Li's arrangement."
"Okay, now that this matter has been finalized, we will go back and report to His Majesty."
