The atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange.
"If it weren't for mother, I wouldn't be able to say a hundred words." Qi Yue said with a smile, picking up a piece of fried oriole with chopsticks and saying, "Mother, try this dish."
Mr. Xie didn't pick it up, neither salty nor bland.
"I don't like this," she said.
Qi Yue's hand moved halfway while picking the dishes and then stopped awkwardly.
It’s a joke, if you don’t like food, you can cook it in the kitchen.
"Yes, my wife doesn't know." Qi Yue put it back with a smile, "Then which one does mother like to eat?"
Mr. Xie didn't even raise his eyelids.
"You don't even know what I like to eat, so you haven't put in enough effort." She said lightly.
have to..
"Yes, if my daughter-in-law works harder, mother will give her a chance, right?" Qi Yue said with a smile.
Mr. Xie put down her chopsticks and looked up at her.
"Then let me tell you the first thing." She said, "I love quiet and don't like to make trouble. Especially when you are always smiling and laughing, it makes me feel annoyed."
Qi Yue wanted to roll her eyes. You are not upset when you see me smiling. You are upset when you see me...
"Yes." Qi Yue stopped laughing and said, "Thank you, mother, for teaching me."
Mr. Xie looked at her.
"You are so aggrieved, as if I have made you angry." She frowned and said.
Qi Yue changed her smile.
"Mom, why don't you eat first, and then mother will teach me after you have eaten? Because my daughter-in-law is stupid, it will be bad if she delays my mother's meal." She said with a smile.
"Seeing you like this makes me lose my appetite." Xie sighed and said.
The girls around him stood with their heads lowered, trying their best to pretend they didn't exist.
"Let's do this." Ms. Xie said, "Since you have your heart, I can't refute your face, Mother Su."
she shouted.
Mother Su came in from outside.
"As for her, her mother once served as a ceremonial official in the palace. She is very familiar with manners and so on. Why don't you learn from her." Mrs. Xie said to Qi Yue, "Of course, don't be embarrassed."
"It's not difficult." Qi Yue said with a smile, walking up to Mother Su, "Then there's Mother Lao Su."
Mother Su smiled and said she didn't dare. She extended her hand to invite Qi Yue and led Qi Yue out.
Only here did Xie pick up the chopsticks with a comfortable smile.
Since you want to pretend, I'll let you do it. You brought it to your door yourself.
"Give me this fried canary," she said.
The girl on the side quickly brought it to her.
It was already very late when Qi Yue returned to the house.
She fell down on the bed.
"What's wrong?" Chang Yuncheng hurriedly came over and asked, sitting down.
Seeing him sit down, Aru hurriedly led the girls out.
"My face is tired..." Qi Yue said dullly.
Chang Yuncheng stretched out his hand to pull her.
"Come, let me rub it for you." He said.
Qi Yue didn't move.
"Mom is willing to teach you. This is her kindness..." Chang Yuncheng hesitated and said.
Qi Yue smiled, turned over and sat up, leaning against him.
Chang Yuncheng happily held her in his arms.
"Don't worry, I know I won't show off to my mother casually." Qi Yue said, raising her head and kissing his stubbled chin, "You know me, and I know you, so we have no grievances."
Chang Yuncheng lowered his head and kissed her lips.
This time there was no violent storm, but drizzle and gentle breeze. It took a long time for Qi Yue to break away violently.
Chang Yuncheng, who was enjoying himself, was unhappy when he was interrupted. He stretched out his hand to drag the woman back.
"I forgot to mention that I plan to perform an operation on Yan'er tomorrow and tell her to fast in the morning." Qi Yue stood up hurriedly.
"Let me talk about this kind of thing." Chang Yuncheng stretched out his hand to pull her, and she fell hard on his lap.
Qi Yue pressed his shoulder.
"No, this kind of thing, big or small, will scare them so much that they can't sleep. I have to explain it to them carefully, otherwise the patient will be under too much psychological pressure," she said.
Chang Yuncheng looked at her and kissed her again.
Just when Qi Yue was about to hide, Chang Yuncheng had already left and stood up.
"Let's go, I'll go with you." He said.
Qi Yue smiled and was pulled out by him.
How many people in the house were sleeping well and how many were not sleeping well? No one knew in the darkness.
At dawn, the concierge could hear the sound of cars and horses in front of the door. There was rarely any noise in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, let alone so early.
The concierge yawned and opened the corner door. He took one look and was stunned.
"..Housekeeper..." The concierge slammed the door shut and trotted inside.
Ding Xihou was hurriedly called out of Tongfang Sumei's room, and listened to the housekeeper's report outside through the curtain.
"...Not many people came, only Mrs. Liu and my uncle." He said, "They have already moved to the living room..."
When he said this, no one answered, so he added something as he thought of something.
"Because we have just added a young master to our family, I have left all the Liu family's entourage in the concierge," he said.
Therefore, only the father and son were let in, alone and absolutely safe.
"This old guy still dares to come here. I didn't even go to him to settle the score. Instead, he came to my door by himself!" Ding Xihou said angrily, while urging Sumei to quickly dress him.
When Dingxi Hou came to the living room, he immediately saw the old man sitting in the guest seat.
The old man was about sixty years old, with a solemn face and a dignified sitting posture. His white hair was neatly tied up in his crown. Even his hanging beard was neat and tidy, and he couldn't even breathe.
Standing next to him was a man. Although he was standing, his expression was as if he was printed in the same mold as the old man.
Old scholar!
Ding Xihou cursed angrily in his heart. In the past, whenever he heard the name of this relative, he would feel a headache. Now with the support of his daughter-in-law... Ahem, no, with this old guy's handle, he wouldn't
As for seeing it, I feel worried, but when I really want to see it, I still feel blocked and panicked.
The two bitter men, father and son, were going to make his elegant living room sour.
Ding Xihou stepped in with a straight face.
Mrs. Liu stood up and greeted him meticulously, and Dingxihou had to return the gift meticulously.
It's not because I'm afraid of this old thing, but because I can't afford to waste that time.
It saves me the trouble of him blabbering about his irregularities, his disrespect for etiquette, his disrespect for him, his disrespect for the Holy Spirit, Confucius and the Emperor...all this nonsense.
Let's make a clean picture.
After the father was presented with the ceremony, Liu Chengyang began to present the ceremony to his father-in-law.
"Okay, okay, don't be so polite to me." He was not so polite to the junior Ding Xihou. He glared and said with a groan, "If you really want to be polite to me, you have to be kind to my daughter and granddaughter!"
Liu Chengyang didn't say anything. After paying his respects meticulously, he retreated behind his father.
Ding Xihou said it was powerful, but it was like a punch on cotton, and it didn't feel so good.
"What Mr. Hou said is different." Mrs. Liu spoke.
As long as the father is around, naturally it is not the son's turn to speak.
"What's the difference? A servant named Liu can bully my daughter. I saw it with my own eyes, so if I didn't see it, I don't know what it is!" Dingxihou decided to seize the momentum first and said loudly, with an angry look on his face.
"It's nothing, that is, the Marquis saw it. As for if he didn't see it, it doesn't exist." Old Mrs. Liu said solemnly.
"Ah, what you say is what it is." Ding Xihou said angrily, "Look at what my daughter is wearing? She's not even as good as a servant girl!"
Old Mrs. Liu looked solemn.
"My Liu family is a scholar. I don't do farming and eat without working. Naturally, I have to be more frugal." He said, looking at Dingxihou, "I can't compare with the wealth and wealth of the Marquis's family, and I feel aggrieved."
Ding Xihou's eyes fell on the father and son, and he saw that the two men were indeed not as well-dressed as his butler...
Ah, this old guy did it on purpose!
"It's a grievance! It's really a huge grievance! Tell me, how did your family bully and neglect my daughter in the past! Don't think I don't know!" Ding Xihou said with a snort, and did not answer the sentence again.
Old Mrs. Liu looked at him.
"Chunlan has been married for seven years and has only returned to her parents' home three times. When she was newly married, when her grandmother died, and when she returned to the province this time, I always thought it was because Chunlan's Gu family didn't want to go out. It turned out that the Marquis had a grudge against my family and that's why." He said.
He stood up and saluted Ding Xihou, and Liu Chengyang on the side naturally followed suit, "If Chunlan has any daily grievances, my father-in-law is not as good as the Marquis. I didn't hear her say it himself, so I asked the Marquis to tell me."
Dingxihou was speechless when asked.
Yes, he had been married to his daughter for seven years and came back three times. He didn't even see her these three times. How would he know whether she was wronged or not? Besides, whether she was wronged or not was none of his business...
What a pedant!
Dingxi Hou stared at Old Mrs. Liu, who still looked solemn, just like the portrait of the holy master hanging in the room.
"Liu Pingyun, other grievances aside, why did you want to separate mother and daughter?..." Dingxihou wanted to say Yan'er's name, but only now did he remember that he didn't know what his granddaughter's name was, and his tongue slipped.
, "...the children are still so young, isn't this going to force their mother and daughter to death?"
Old Mrs. Liu looked at him with the same expression.
"Okay?" He only said these three words.
Ding Xihou wanted to slap himself in the face, why did he always talk to himself in front of this old man? It was all his fault, just like the gentleman his grandfather hired for him.
That gentleman always had a stiff face. He never punished or scolded him, never slapped his hand on the board, and didn't even punish him by standing. He just snorted from his nose, and then looked at himself like he was a waste.
You wish you could hide under the ground and never come out to see anyone again.
It left a shadow on him to this day. When he sees such a person, his legs spin, he becomes flustered and sweats. That’s why he who was originally so eloquent and eloquent suddenly became so clumsy!
Dingxihou looked at the father and son, and Mrs. Liu also looked at him.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
The housekeeper standing outside the house kept his ears pricked up and heard the loud words of the Marquis. Although he would always pause after speaking, at least the Marquis was full of confidence and would soon be filled with righteous indignation. Then he heard a sudden rumbling in the hall.
Come laugh.
laughter…
"...In-laws, have you eaten? You've come so early, you haven't eaten yet...Butler...Butler..."
Watching the young man leading the Liu family and his son to dinner, Ding Xihou gently wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and turned to look at the housekeeper looking at him.
"What else are you looking at!" He suddenly felt his face getting hot, "Why don't you go and invite the young lady here!"
What do you want the young lady to do?
The person who should be invited on this occasion should be Mrs. Hou Xie.
Ding Xihou also noticed that what he said was quite different.
"This old man will definitely continue to argue with you later! The young lady is not a doctor. Let her explain. See if the old man has anything else to say!" he said with a glare.
I understand! It turns out that the father-in-law is arrogant, and the Marquis can't explain it!
The housekeeper responded and left hurriedly.
"Quickly, please let the young lady go..." he shouted, and after he finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped his mouth, "..Please let the young madam go..." *** (To be continued)
