Chen Qiuxiang followed Su Liu and passed through the moon gate of the house. Her eyes wandered around, marveling at the exquisiteness of the house. Then she looked at Su Liu who was walking in front, with envy in her eyes.
Walking into the courtyard of the inner house, Su Xiao happened to walk out of the main room and saw Chen Qiuxiang who was following Su Liu. She could not hide the disgust in her eyes.
"Sister, you're back." Su Xiao rushed up to meet her, pulled Su Liu aside, and asked in a low voice: "Why did you bring her here?"
"Mom was talking to those people in front, and the old lady pushed me away." Su Liu also lowered his voice, patted her shoulder again and said: "I remember that the kitchen prepared spring cakes today, and you haven't met the elders yet.
, bring some over so you can say hello."
Su Xiao was a smart person. When he met Su Liu's cunning eyes, he said loudly: "Sister, you are right. This etiquette is indispensable. I will go and pay my respects to the elders."
Chen Qiuxiang was just about to step forward and get close to Su Xiaotiao. She was stunned after hearing these words. When she was about to speak, Su Xiaotiao had already picked up the hem of her skirt and ran out quickly.
Chen Qiuxiang was secretly annoyed, but she didn't dare to get angry. She could only say to Su Liu with a smile on her face: "At a glance, Xiaoxiao is really pretty."
"Sister Qiuxiang is overly praised." Su Liu smiled faintly.
"I wonder which room my sister's room is? Can we sisters go inside to have tea and talk?" Chen Qiuxiang smiled and held her hand.
Su Liu avoided it by stroking his hair and said with a smile: "What's the point of being in the house? I think the weather is refreshing today and the spring breeze is very refreshing. Why don't we sit in the yard and watch
Drinking tea with flowers? This is also a unique experience."
She pointed to the two peach trees planted in the yard and said, "Sister, look, are those two peach trees blooming just right?"
It was already March, when peach blossoms were in full bloom. Su Liu had already transplanted two peach trees in the yard, placed a wooden table and four chairs under the peach trees, and planted crabapple hostas around them.
Wait, it is indeed very elegant to sit here and look at the flowers and have tea.
Chen Qiuxiang didn't know what elegance was. She only wanted to invade Su Liu's territory to see if she could catch anything, but Su Liu was guarding her like a thief and wouldn't let her in. She was really angry.
But literati tended to be elegance, and Chen Qiuxiang did not want to behave like a village girl in front of Su Liu, so she could only agree with a smile: "That's very good."
Su Liu smiled and turned away, her smile not reaching her eyes. She secretly thought that if it weren't for Chen's sake, she really wouldn't want to deal with these people.
The two sat down, and Su Liu called Shuang Ning and asked her to serve tea, and then brought some refreshments.
"Girl, do you want to bring the stove to boil water for tea?" Shuang Ning asked with a smile.
Su Liu glanced at Chen Qiuxiang and said, "No need. I guess Sister Qiuxiang doesn't have time to watch me make tea. You can just bring me two cups of tea."
If this guest was Cao Mingzhu, she would be happy to cook tea and talk with her under the peach tree, but Chen Qiuxiang, forget it, she really can't afford to spend that time.
"yes."
Chen Qiuxiang said hurriedly: "Actually, I'm not in a hurry, I can make tea whatever you want."
"You don't know that making tea requires a lot of effort. It's spring time again, and I've been very busy these past two days. I'm really too lazy to do it!" Su Liu smiled lightly.
Chen Qiuxiang disapproved in her heart. She felt that Su Liu was deliberately neglecting her and did not want to cook tea!
Well, this child has found out the truth, but she can’t say anything!
The frost soon subsided after the tea was served. The plain white orchid kiln porcelain tea cup was placed on a white plate also printed with orchids. Inside the cup, there was a rose floating on the water, floating and sinking, with a faint and fragrant aroma.
When I heard it, it looked good.
Look at the small dots in the blue and white plate. They are exquisite and appetizing.
Chen Qiuxiang swallowed her saliva, looked at Su Liu, and said, "What kind of tea is this? It's really special."
"Ah, I was rude. I forgot to ask my sister what kind of tea she likes to drink. This is rose tea. It was passed down from the Western Regions. It is good for beautifying the skin and is very good for women. I am used to drinking it, and I never thought about that girl.
So I got this one. If sister is not used to drinking it, can I have someone change it for you?" Su Liu pretended to be annoyed.
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it. This rose tea, um, rose tea, I've also tasted it. It's very delicious." Chen Qiuxiang showed a smile and imitated her, holding the coaster in her left hand and the teacup in her right hand, and drank.
One bite.
It tastes good and has no taste at all. It's better to grab a handful of camellia and brew it. Chen Qiuxiang secretly cursed, but seeing Su Liu's elegant movements, she said: "It's really a good tea."
"Then drink more." Su Liu picked up the tea cup again and covered the sly fox-like smile at the corner of her mouth, pretending she didn't see her frown!
Putting down the tea cup, Su Liu forked another piece of hibiscus cake with a fork and bit it gently. Chen Qiuxiang was not to be outdone. She followed suit and forked a piece as well, with her left hand still holding it under her mouth to catch the crumbs.
Su Liu saw it from the corner of his eye, and the smile in his eyes became even brighter. Well, she was so weak that she did it on purpose to show Chen Qiuxiang!
But she did it on purpose, but Chen Qiuxiang felt as if she had knocked over a bottle of five flavors. In just a few moves, she had already seen the gap between herself and Su Liu. What should she do?
She's not good-looking, and she doesn't know how to make tea. Even having tea is as formal as meeting the emperor. What should I do? I heard that the wealthy family is very particular about rules. I am so vulgar.
If so, how can I hold my husband’s heart in the future?
"General, the girl is picking up the female family members."
A hurried female voice attracted Su and Liu over.
Su Liu frowned and looked over. Ning Guang appeared at the Moon Gate. He obviously didn't expect it. He looked at Su Liu and saw that there was indeed an outsider, so he hurriedly stepped back.
It was just a face-to-face meeting, but Chen Qiuxiang was stunned. With a clatter, the fork in his hand fell to the ground without even realizing it.
Su Liu raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes when he saw her nymphomaniac look with pink bubbles in her eyes.
"Well, Sister Liu'er, I..." Chen Qiuxiang came back to her senses and saw that her fork had fallen off. She didn't know whether it was because she was embarrassed to see Ning Guang or what, but her face turned red.
"It doesn't matter, just ask someone to change it." Su Liu smiled faintly, and asked Shuang Ning to ask her to change a fork, and asked Ning Guang what happened.
Shuang Ning quickly turned around, and Ning Guang had nothing to do and just came to talk to her.
"Liu'er, is that the general?" Chen Qiuxiang asked tentatively. She was so embarrassed that she was willing to die to marry such a majestic man. Thinking of her mother and grandma's plans, Chen Qiuxiang's
My heart was beating fast.
I thought that all generals would be bearded, thick and vulgar, but I never expected that Ning Guang was so good-looking and handsome.
If she were a woman who could be a general... Chen Qiuxiang's face was hot and red with blood.
Seeing Su Liu nodding, Chen Qiuxiang's eyes were bright and she said shyly: "Sister Liu'er, General, he is really mighty."
Su Liu smiled and said nothing, but she was thinking in her heart, what is the purpose of Chen Xiao and the others? Is it really as simple as hearing that her future husband is a general to take advantage of her?
Seeing Chen Qiuxiang's nymphomaniac look, Su Liu's mind turned around and asked casually: "It's almost time to get busy at work, why do you have time to come to our house?"
In the front hall, Mrs. Chen was stunned after hearing Chen Xiao's heartfelt words. She looked at her in disbelief. Her mind was completely emptied, and only one sentence was circulating.
"With these sisters waiting for you, why don't you worry about keeping the general's heart? Don't worry."
"You crazy woman chewed feces so early in the morning. You are shameless and disgusting. Get out of our house." Su Xiao was also shocked. She always jumped up and pointed at Chen Xiao and cursed.
: "Get out! Ya'er, bring me a broom and drive these disgusting things out of here."
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Chen Xiao slapped the table and shouted to Su Xiao with a cold face: "Look, do you still have the appearance of a daughter's family like this? How unbecoming is it to yell and curse at your elders?"
"What kind of elders are you, an old pious woman? If I had known that you weasels were not well-intentioned in giving New Year greetings to the chickens, it turned out to be this evil idea. My sister is not married yet, and you disgusting things went to give her a concubine with a shy face.
"What a great idea, and I'm not afraid of thunder!" Su Xiaocai was not afraid of her, he put his hands on his hips and stared with his eyes as big as bells.
Mrs. Chen Xiao was so angry that she was trembling. She couldn't explain Su Xiao's shrewdness, so she had to scold Mrs. Chen: "Mother Mei, you are such a shrewd girl. How did you raise her? You don't have any tutoring."
"That's right! Third sister, we are going to be related to the general after all. It's impossible to spread such a character." Mrs. Wang also hurriedly helped, while Chen Siniang frowned and remained silent.
"What did you just say?" Chen Meiniang seemed to have not heard anything, and looked at Chen Xiao with a pair of empty eyes: "You said you would send your Qiuxiang and Siniang's daughters to serve Liu'er?"
"It's not about serving, it's about being a companion with Liu'er." Wang said hurriedly.
"Shut up." Mrs. Chen Xiao glared at her, looked at Chen Meiniang as softly as possible, and said sincerely: "In those wealthy families, there is no one who doesn't have three wives and four concubines, especially a general with a status like that. In the future, his concubines will be even more important.
They were carried in one after another. Qiuxiang and Xun'er are Liu'er's cousins, and they are also close to Xiang. Instead of carrying someone they are not close to, it is better to carry them in from their own sisters, so that when Liu'er cannot serve the general in the future, the two sisters will be carried in.
It can also help tie the general's heart and prevent him from being seduced by those vixens. Don't worry, Liu'er is the big one, and they are the little ones, helping Gu's favor. They will give birth to children in the future, also called
Liu'er is a mother-in-law, she can't get past her, and she won't be able to dilute the general's love."
Su Xiao's teeth were splitting when she heard this, and she wanted to rush over and tear Chen Xiao's face into pieces. It was so disgusting to her, so disgusting!
Madam Chen quickly grabbed her hand, closed her eyes slightly, her chest rose and fell rapidly, and took a few deep breaths. When she opened it again, her eyes were clear and cold, and she looked at Madam Chen Xiao: "Get out!
