Three hundred and nineteenth chapter Chen's remarriage II
In the early summer of May, there was a cool breeze. Due to the happy event, the huge Cao Mansion was brightly lit. After paying homage, Mrs. Chen was sent to the bridal chamber, accompanied by Mrs. Song and others.
Su Liu also went to the new house of Chen and Cao Kui. There were no elders in the Cao family, and Cao Kui was the head of the family. Naturally, they lived in the main courtyard of Cao's house, Zhengde Hall.
Zhengde Hall occupies the largest area among the many courtyards of Cao Mansion. It not only has a flower hall for discussion and reception, but also has an east and west wing with a wing room. After the flower hall is the master bedroom, which also has a small hall with a place for decoration.
There was a set of yellow pear wood furniture, and there were many valuable antiques on the antique shelves. The beauty vase placed by the window had two bowl-sized peonies inserted into it.
Walking into the master bedroom, Mrs. Chen was sitting upright on the wedding bed. On the desk in the room, a dragon and phoenix candle as big as a baby's arm was burning. The shadow made people's faces blush, which was really touching.
"Mom." Su Liu stepped forward with a smile: "You have been working hard all day, but you are tired?"
Mrs. Chen shook her head shyly and said in a gentle voice, "A little bit."
"This journey is tiring for me, but it is worth it. I just remember when I was sitting on the wedding bed and almost fell asleep." Mrs. Song said with a smile.
Mrs. Chen lowered his head slightly, hummed, then looked at Su Liu and asked, "Where is your sister?"
"I don't know where I went with Chen Ye right now." Su Liu said with a smile.
"There are a lot of people today, so don't let them run around and bump into people carefully," Ms. Chen quickly ordered.
"Mom, don't worry, they are not without sense." Su Liu smiled and reassured: "You can just be your bride in peace."
Mrs. Chen's face turned slightly red and she glared at her with an angry look.
"Where is the bride? Let's come and see how this beautiful girl was born." There was a noise at the door.
Su Liu and the others looked over and saw Cao Mingzhu walking in accompanied by several women wearing silk, satin, pearls and jade jewelry. The first person walking at the front was a middle-aged woman about fifty years old, with a fat body and fine eyes.
, the light flashed by.
Looking behind, there are several young girls following. One of them is wearing a goose-yellow dress, with her head held high and her chest raised, looking very proud. If her eyes weren't glaring around, she would be arrogant.
Facing Cao Mingzhu's slightly helpless look, Su Liu raised her eyebrows slightly and stood beside Mrs. Song with a smile.
When Mrs. Chen saw someone coming, she wanted to get up, but the leading woman ouched and said, "Don't get up, the bride will have to press on the new bed, but you can't get up, we are here to meet the new bride."
, look at this beautiful color, don’t blame our third master for falling in love with it, even when I saw it, I fell in love with it."
Mrs. Chen showed a smile, looked at the woman, and then at Cao Mingzhu, wondering what she was called.
Cao Mingzhu then stepped forward with a smile and said: "Mother, this is the wife of the patriarch of our Cao family. If you call her grandma, she is grandma."
"Grandma," Mrs. Chen called out quickly.
"Hey, my maiden name is Tan, and my husband's family is the eldest cousin of the third master, so you can call me sister-in-law." Mrs. Tan said with a smile.
Su Liu's eyes flashed slightly. Long before Chen was married, Cao Kui had thoughtfully sent information about the relatives of the Cao family, and they also worked together to learn more about them.
Speaking of which, Cao Kui's grandfather and Tan's husband's grandfather were direct brothers. They belonged to the second wife, and they had separated their families long ago. Moreover, after these two generations, they were a bit estranged. The second brother's family has always been thin, and the father's generation,
There was only one male, Cao Kui. When it came to Cao Kui, there was only one daughter, Cao Mingzhu. There was no successor to such a big business, and in the clan, he ranked third in his generation, so he was known as
Third Master.
The Tan family in front of me is the direct wife of Cao Lin, the eldest son in the big house and now the patriarch. In terms of seniority, she is really the eldest sister-in-law. She is just a descendant, so she is relatively distant.
"Come on, this is your fourth brother and sister, and this is your fifth and sixth brother." Mrs. Tan took a few women in their thirties and forties and introduced to Mrs. Chen: "This is your second sister-in-law's eldest daughter, Mingyan, and this is
The wise king of the fourth brother and sister's family..."
Su Liu looked over one by one, and all the girls came forward to see the gift. Mrs. Chen took out the purse from the tray in the girl's hand and gave it to them one by one.
Cao Mingzhu introduced Mrs. Song to everyone again. The eyes of the Tan family were bright and they stepped forward to salute very attentively. Especially the girls, they all acted like shy daughters. After all, Mrs. Song had an unparalleled beauty in her family.
The fifth young master is unmarried!
"This is my sister, Su Liu." Cao Mingzhu pulled Su Liu over to introduce her to everyone.
Su Liu stepped forward with a smile, bowed Yingying, followed Cao Mingzhu to call for people, and moved his hands and feet, calmly, calmly and generously.
Naturally, the Tan family knew about Cao Kui's new wife. When Cao Kui lost his wife, he had no idea how many women he proposed to Cao Kui, either overtly or secretly. However, Cao Kui rejected them all on the grounds that he loved his deceased wife and kept her filial piety.
Even the clan members were unmoved on the grounds of the son's incense. Later, they were forced to panic and said that if they were destined to have no children, they would adopt an heir in the clan in the future, so they gave up.
Cao Kui earned a large fortune, but he remained unmarried for many years and lived with his one daughter. As time went by, everyone thought that Cao Kui had lost interest in marrying again and was only waiting for heirs. Among them, the fourth eldest son had the most sons.
The most active person, who would have thought that Cao Kui would suddenly marry a bride.
If someone wants to marry a wife, you have to let him marry you. Naturally, you found out clearly about Chen's background. She was born as a peasant woman, and she also carried two oil bottles. She flew up to the branch and became a phoenix, but she chose to raise her.
She is a good daughter, and her future son-in-law will be General Zhenwei. If Cao Kui marries Chen, he will be the general's father-in-law in the future.
The direct daughter is going to marry the son of the prefect, a well-known family, and the stepdaughter is also the fiancée of the general. Cao Kui's status has risen sharply. Who in the clan dares to look down upon him? At the same time, he also looks up to this new wife, Su Liu.
With that kind of status, he didn't dare to overdo it. Besides, Su Liu's etiquette was something Zhou Zhengde didn't pick up on, and everyone praised him.
Of course, there are always exceptions to everything, and it is different when it involves your own interests, such as wanting to adopt your son to the fourth house under Cao Kui's name.
"Fourth sister, I heard that there is a younger brother. He seems to be the adopted son of this new aunt. I don't know what his original surname is? Now that the new aunt has come in, does this mean that this foreign younger brother is also from our Cao family?
Young master, you are the son of your third uncle? You will be filial to my third uncle in the future." The person who spoke was the sixth lady of the fourth room, Cao Mingjun, that is, the woman in goose-yellow clothes with the arrogant eyes on her head.
"Mingjun, what are you talking about? Your third aunt's son is naturally your third uncle's son. No matter he is from outside or whatever, he is naturally devoted to the Cao family." Madam Zeng of the Fourth Fang scolded her lightly, but her tone did not change.
It's not the slightest bit reproachful.
"But mother, I remember that in our clan, it seems that there is no custom of recording adopted sons in the genealogy, right?" Cao Mingjun said innocently: "If this is not named, does it count as a member of the Cao family?"
"This..." Zeng looked hesitantly at the patriarch's wife, Tan.
Mrs. Tan's smile froze slightly, and she glanced at Mrs. Chen and her daughter, who looked a little unhappy. She secretly blamed the four bedrooms for their ignorance. The newlyweds had just entered the door, and they were so anxious and embarrassed that they didn't even look at them.
Her identity is that she is a step-brother, and she has a daughter who will be the wife of a general in the future, and she is ten times more noble than your ordinary business woman.
Cao Mingzhu's face was particularly ugly. She was not an idiot. She didn't know what the four wives were thinking. They were just blaming their father for marrying a new wife and failing to adopt an heir.
Mrs. Song chuckled and said: "If you ask me, you don't care about the bride too much. How can you talk about such trivial things on this big day? The days are long, and the newlyweds have already entered the house, and you are afraid of running away.
No? Mingzhu, I thought everyone in the Cao family was just like you and your father, all chronic, but I didn’t know they were all impatient!"
As soon as this was said, although it was in a joking tone, everyone present could hear the faint rebuke hidden in it. Zeng and Cao Mingjun's expressions changed slightly and they did not dare to argue.
Cao Mingzhu's face turned slightly red, and she blessed Mrs. Song with a blessing and said, "Make Aunt Song laugh."
"Yes, yes, the days are long, and today is a good day. Brothers and sisters, please stop talking about these disappointing things." Mrs. Tan got up and immediately looked at Mrs. Zeng, with a hint of warning in her eyes.
Mrs. Zeng was a little startled, knowing that they were in a hurry today, so she smiled and said: "Yes, look at me, I can't say anything after seeing the bride's grace. Third sister-in-law, you won't blame your sister-in-law, right?"
?”
"Of course not." Chen said with a faint smile.
Mrs. Song said again this time: "Speaking of Mei Niang, I know her temper best. She is so kind and kind. How can she be so strange to you, the Fourth Madam? The Fourth Madam, on the other hand, needs to love me more. After all, she
She has just entered the house, and she has a soft temper. The Fourth Madam must protect her and not let anyone bully her."
Girl!
Everyone looked at each other with strange expressions. Mrs. Song's name "sister" was to tell everyone that Mrs. Chen was her sister and she was supporting her from behind!
The corners of the fourth lady's mouth stiffened slightly, and she forced a smile and said: "That's natural. I see that the third sister-in-law is also a very good person. If anyone who doesn't have the foresight dares to bully her, I will be the first one not to spare her."
Cao Mingjun looked unwilling and opened his mouth to say something, but Cao Mingzhu took her hand and said: "Sixth sister, Qian'er, didn't you say that you have taken a fancy to a new noodle in my shop, and the shopkeeper happened to give it to me.
Here comes the sample, would you like to try it on with me?"
After hearing this, Cao Mingjun was happy, his eyes rolled around, and he held Cao Mingzhu's hand with a smile and said: "I know that the fourth sister loves Mingjun the most, and she will never forget any good things.
I."
She has many children at home and life is difficult. There is nothing good about ordinary jewelry. Now that Cao Mingzhu opened her mouth, she was naturally happy to hit the snake and follow it with the stick.
The other girls listened with disdain in their eyes, but they all looked at Cao Mingzhu with bright eyes. After all, the Cao family, Cao Mingzhu and his family were the richest.
Naturally, Cao Mingzhu would not favor one person over another, so he immediately invited everyone to come, and did not forget to invite Su Liu too, so that they could become familiar with each other.
