The candlelight of the dragon and phoenix candles in the room was swaying slightly, and the wind came in through the screen window, bringing with it a slight chill.
Xianya came out of the shower, changed into regular clothes, and sat on the bed in a formal manner.
She just drank two cups of tea and ate a few cakes. In fact, she was not very hungry. She kept thinking in her mind, did anything go wrong today?
E Niang always says that she has a special status and must not make any mistakes. But how can this person not make mistakes?
No matter how calm he pretended to be, he was still a little scared in his heart.
Everyone said that every move they made represented the face of the eldest brother, the face of the eldest brother, the face of the Long Live Lord and the empress, and the face of the Qing Dynasty.
She really didn't know how she could become such a role model. The only thing she could do was to follow the instructions of the mothers and do it step by step. She didn't dare to make any mistakes.
Thinking of the hand that the eldest brother stretched out, it was slender, clean and strong. Her hand stretched out unexpectedly and was about to touch the fingertips of the eldest brother, and then she remembered the words of the mothers.
You must be reserved and dignified, and you must not do anything inappropriate.
But in her heart, she felt it was a pity. She didn't know if the eldest brother was angry.
So, I became more and more restless while sitting on the bed.
Just when I didn't know what to do, I saw the curtain lifted, revealing the little head of a three or four year old child.
The girl immediately saluted, "Good morning, fifth brother."
When Xianya saw the child walking in square steps with his hands behind his back, she felt that it was terrible. Then she looked at the prince's dress and knew that this was undoubtedly the fifth elder brother.
Others have to be taboo, but such an older brother-in-law really has nothing to be taboo about.
"Greetings, Fifth Brother." Xianya bowed first.
Hongxuan quickly replied with a big gift, "Sister-in-law, hello."
The anger in the room suddenly relaxed. This is the most embarrassing time for such a big child.
Hongxuan came here today and didn't know where he should sleep. He slept in this room last night. He was sleepy now and wanted to sleep, only to find that the room had been occupied by others.
He was a little unhappy. If this person hadn't been the new sister-in-law, he would have gone crazy.
The nanny next to Fucha suddenly said: "The fifth elder brother is a boy who presses the bed, right?"
How did Hongxuan know this? He just pointed at the bed and said, "Why are you using bright red? What a girl."
The room laughed even more. The little kid didn’t know who he had learned such a tone from.
Just when Xianya was about to explain, someone from outside reported that it was Brother Five's nanny who had come to find him.
She breathed a sigh of relief. The fifth brother is the younger brother of the eldest brother and a compatriot, so he is a precious treasure. But she dare not let him make the slightest mistake.
The nanny came in, kowtowed first, and then went to coax Hongxuan, "Little master, I will serve you and go back to sleep."
Hongxuan glanced outside. Who could sleep in the noisy drinking scene?
He was a little unhappy, frowned and said: "I'm sleeping with you, my sister-in-law just sits there." He was very generous and gave face to the new sister-in-law.
After saying that, he sat down, kicked off his shoes, lay down, and went to sleep.
The nanny could be embarrassed to death, but this little master has a very bad temper. No one can do anything to him when he doesn't want to. He only dared to wink at the person who was serving in the yard and tell him to invite the eldest brother.
Come.
This is a new house and it is not suitable for others to come in.
Xianya looked at Hongxuan and became bolder. In fact, Brother Huang is no different from other children.
She lowered her head and saw Hongxuan's feet, which had even kicked off their socks.
Don't worry about anything, they are very cute when they are young. Just like a child's feet, so small and exquisite. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and scratched Hongxuan's soles with her fingers as if teasing her little nephew.
Hongxuan's toes immediately clicked down and his eyes opened. He thought it was his fourth brother who came in to make trouble for him, but he didn't expect it was his sister-in-law. He glanced twice and rolled inside with half-squinted eyes.
The corners of Xianya's mouth turned up involuntarily. He was much more fun than his nephew who was always crying.
Honghui stood outside the window and saw the scene just now. His heart suddenly relaxed.
Maybe what E Niang told her before was not entirely wrong. Fujin was still just a teenage girl. The Fucha family could spend ten years teaching her, but couldn't he spend ten years correcting her?
He thought maybe he could give it a try.
Why hasn't E Niang ever thought about borrowing help from her parents' family or other forces in these years? In the final analysis, E Niang trusts Amma.
He didn't know if his efforts would make his Fujin believe in him wholeheartedly. But he thought, at least, he had to try hard.
The door curtain was opened, and the sound of greetings and salutes rang out in the room. Xianya was startled and quickly took her hand back. Her face turned red with embarrassment. It was really reckless to pick at her brother-in-law's feet.
She felt a little discouraged. She felt that it was really difficult for her to be called Da Fujin. No one of the sisters in the family was more suitable than herself.
I spent the whole day on tenterhooks, and at the end of the day, I didn't expect that such a joke would happen in front of my eldest brother.
She wanted to kneel down and apologize, but on the first night of her wedding, she did something to apologize, and it also involved the fifth elder brother. How would it look like if it was spread?
She was so nervous that she was at a loss. If she were at home, she would have wanted to rush out of the door, huddle in her room, cover herself with a quilt, and not see anyone for two months.
Seeing Fucha's helpless look, Honghui reached out and took her hand first, "Don't be angry. Please send this little thing away."
Elegant's hand was held by a pair of cool but strong hands, and her heart suddenly felt like it was about to jump out of her chest. "No need...no need...ask the fifth elder brother to sleep here..."
Halfway through her words, she couldn't continue. Today was the bridal chamber, and her brother-in-law couldn't stay.
She wanted to bite her tongue in annoyance, why couldn't she speak without thinking?
Hong Hui's eyes were filled with smiles, and he held her hand slightly, "I know what you mean."
Xianya breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the sweat in her palms had wetted her eldest brother's originally dry hands.
Then, she lowered her head and was pulled to the bed by her eldest brother. Then, she was pressed on the shoulders and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Lao Wu, get up." Honghui said, going up to lift Hongxuan, and he was pulling his legs.
Xian Ya was so frightened that a child couldn't be pulled like this.
She quickly stretched out her hand to stop him, not daring to look at Honghui, but said, "Let's wait until the fifth brother falls asleep. When he falls asleep, ask grandma to take him away."
Honghui glanced at the Fucha family in surprise. He felt that the Fucha family had changed people.
This is completely different from the results of the investigation.
Honghui thought that he was sure whether he was really thoughtful or not. The girl in front of him was definitely not a particularly thoughtful person.
He glanced casually at a nanny next to Fucha. This person had been following Fucha, never leaving her.
Hong Hui's eyes flashed and he ordered: "Go down, everyone. I'll call you when I need help."
The grandma glanced at Mrs. Fucha worriedly before slowly retreating.
When there were no outsiders in the room, Honghui stood up and sat a little far away from Fucha, so as not to make her feel nervous. "What does Fujin usually do at home?"
Mrs. Fucha didn't even think about it and said: "I help my sister-in-law housekeeping, occasionally do needlework, and accompany my grandmother to worship Buddha in my free time."
Honghui nodded, "I thought you liked playing with your children at home?"
"No!" Mrs. Fucha said quickly, as if she felt that the answer just now was too hasty, and whispered: "The sisters-in-law are bringing their nephews, there is no use for... me... concubine."
Did you suddenly remember to change your tune?
Honghui poured himself a cup of tea and asked casually: "What did Fujin say you do at home just now?"
"I help my sister-in-law take care of the house, occasionally do needlework, and spend my free time with my grandmother to worship Buddha." Mrs. Fucha glanced at Honghui in surprise, thinking that when she said it for the first time, her eldest brother was distracted.
hear.
Honghui almost laughed. He picked up the teacup and hid the smile at the corner of his mouth. The answers to the same question were exactly the same. The order and word count were the same.
This answer is the same as the memorized article, very standard.
Honghui thought of the possibility that Ma Qi might have been deceived as well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the guts to ask such a girl to be his wife.
Who is so talented that he listed the possible questions, gave the most standard answers, and then asked this girl to memorize them?
He didn't expose her, just nodded and asked, "Why don't you just give me your hand today?" She must not have thought of this question in advance, and there is no standard answer.
Sure enough, seeing that Mrs. Fucha was confused for a long time, she said in a daze: "The mothers said there can't be any mistakes. There can't be any mistakes. Otherwise, it will be a joke."
I see!
Honghui looked at Mrs. Fucha and said, "How long have you memorized those words you said to the Queen when you entered the palace?"
"Three..." Xianya opened her mouth to speak, but stopped as soon as she spoke. She lowered her head and said, "When the queen asks a question, I will answer truthfully."
Honghui frightened her, "The Queen has seen your little tricks a long time ago. Do you still want to hide it?"
Xianya's face turned pale, "This is none of Ama's business, it's all mine... I'm stupid and often say the wrong things when I go out. My mother... no! It's none of my business! It's my own fault."
If you come up with this method, you won't go wrong."
E Niang always says that she doesn’t speak carelessly, and it’s easy to offend people when she goes out. She accidentally offends someone without knowing it. I thought of this method. I usually don’t take the initiative to speak when I go out, and only talk when people ask. In fact, I ask around.
There are only so many. Even if the questions are slightly different, similar answers can be found. Who would think too deeply about an idle remark.
This method is actually effective. At least people who have seen me will praise me for being dignified and steady, and for advancing and retreating appropriately. (. )
