Chapter 232: Toast tea

After Gu Jiu put it on, he looked back at Liu Zhao.
Several maids were wiping their hands for Liu Zhao, and the nails were not let go.
The maids are all beautiful and beautiful, meticulous, considerate and gentle.
At this time, Xi Niang came in, took the hipa, and put it in the box to take it away.
There was red on the top of Xipa, Xi Niang looked happy.
"Wait!"
Liu Zhao stopped Xi Niang and waved at the same time. Several maids all bowed to the side.
"Leave Hipa." Liu Zhao's tone was severe.
Xi Niang looked dumbfounded, "My son, this, I have to show the princess and empress."
"Mother and concubine, the son will explain it, Hipa will stay."
Xi Niang is a little at a loss, this is not compliant.
Gu Jiu said: "Xiniang listens to the son, the son here is the biggest, he has the final say."
Xi Niang had no choice but to put down the box containing the hipa, "Slave and maid farewell."
Xi Niang wants to rush to see the princess empress and report the matter.
Liu Zhao looked at the newly dressed Gu Jiu, his eyebrows stretched slightly.
The wife he chose is stunning and looks good no matter how she looks up.
"Breakfast."
The servant Lin Shuping bowed to Liu Zhao's side and reminded him in a low voice, "My son, it's too late."
"It's okay. I'm going to have a meeting today, I don't have enough energy to eat."
Liu Zhao walked out of the bedroom and went to the dining room to have a meal.
Gu Jiu followed closely behind.
She was really hungry this time.
Lin Shuping immediately ordered his servants to set breakfast.
People filed into the dining room. Breakfast was varied, including common porridge, a few plates of pickles, and a rich variety of pasta.
Across Liu Zhao, Gu Jiu sat down with a graceful posture.
Liu Zhao stared at Gu Jiu with sharp eyes.
Gu Jiu looked at him and stared at her. She is not breakfast, can not eat.
Liu Zhao glanced at the stool between the two.
Gu Jiu suddenly realized that Liu Zhao told her to sit there and sit beside him.
She lowered her head and smiled, following her kindness, got up and changed positions, and sat down next to Liu Zhao.
In front of others, she always wants to give him face.
Liu Zhao listened to his ears and asked Gu Jiu in a whisper, "Who said that this son is the biggest here? It is all this son who has the final say."
Gu Jiu's eyes wandered, and secretly rolled his eyes to him.
Liu Zhao said again: "The lady has to speak for words, don't be dubious."
Gu Jiu smiled, neither accepting nor denying it.
The two of them had breakfast in silence, and Gu Jiu used half a bowl of porridge, plus a soup bag, and a cold plate of pickles, and then put down his chopsticks.
Liu Zhao frowned, "Is this full?"
Gu Jiu wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "I'm full."
"Why do you eat so little? No wonder you don't have any meat on your body."
Gu Jiu secretly rolled his eyes and said, "Sitting all day, not moving much, wherever I can eat. The son, eat quickly."
Subtext: You can't stop your mouth with so much food, there are so many words. Dare to dislike the fact that there is nothing in my wife, ha ha. I really waited for my wife to gain 20 kilograms of weight, and I should dislike my wife's ignorance of health preservation. She knew how to eat all day long, and she became a pig.
Therefore, just listen to what a man says, don't take it seriously.
Saying you are thin and letting you eat more is just casual talk. If you really listen to his words, eat more, you will definitely regret it.
Regardless of Liu Zhaoqing's coldness, he is actually a huge appetite if he does not eat the fireworks in the world.
A table of breakfast was all eaten by him.
The maid took a warm wet towel to clean his face, and waited on him carefully and thoughtfully.
It was already late, and Liu Zhao got up, "Madam, follow me to see my father and mother."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Master, please first."
Liu Zhao gave a hum, and walked out of the dining room door first.
Gu Jiu followed behind.
The two walked outside one after the other.
The people all followed.
Walking outside the courtyard, the soft sedan is ready.
Liu Zhao said with a straight face and expressionlessly: "You walk slowly, sit here."
Gu Jiu was stunned, then he got on the soft sedan chair from Shanruliu, and was carried by the women to the Shouchun Hall, the main hall of the palace.
It took half a time for Gu Jiu to understand why Liu Zhao had to prepare a soft sedan chair for her.
It’s because it’s too far to go from the east courtyard to the main hall of the palace. Walking on her legs was a waste of time.
I have to say that the palace is really big.
Gu Jiu did not see the whole picture. According to preliminary estimates, the entire palace occupies no less than tens of acres. The actual area will only be larger than she estimated. Many remote places, I am afraid that people in the palace are not clear.
The time for a stick of incense passed, and from a distance, I finally saw the roof of Shouchuntang, the main hall of the palace, which was also the tallest building in the palace.
At the gate, Gu Jiu got off the soft sedan chair.
Take a deep breath and walk inward.
Liu Zhao deliberately slowed down, walked side by side with Gu Jiu, and asked her quietly, "Are you nervous?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "The new wife's first time seeing her in-laws, she will inevitably be nervous."
Liu Zhao said in a cool tone: "You don't need to be nervous, there is me for everything."
Gu Jiu looked at him, "I believe you."
Entering the lobby of the main hall, King Ning and Concubine Ning have not arrived yet.
However, other members of the palace have been waiting for a long time.
Liu Yi laughed, "Big brother is reluctant to think about Shu, so I got up so late today, so let us wait for you."
Liu Zhao's expression was cold, "Don't you wait?"
Liu Yi's eyes changed slightly, and there was still a smile on his face, "You are the eldest brother, brother, I should have waited for you. I am afraid that my sister-in-law is embarrassed. The new wife got up late the next day when she came in, which is embarrassing. of."
Liu Zhao replied very rudely: "You can also deal with the eldest wife's affairs? Don't you know how to avoid suspicion? Or do you say that the rules have been learned in the belly of the dog?"
Liu Yi squinted, "Early in the morning, Big Brother was just like taking gunpowder. It's hardly possible that you were not satisfied last night."
Liu Zhao directly picked up the lid of the teacup, threw it at the door of Liu Yi's face, and scolded him angrily, "I don't know how to talk, so I owe it."
"Ah... murdered."
Xiao Qin'er yelled in horror.
Liu Yi's head tilted, the teacup lid fell on the ground and shattered.
Lin Shuping hurriedly asked the next person to clean up the ground.
"Is the eldest son going to kill?" Xiao Qin'er fights the injustice for her husband Liu Yi.
Liu Zhao looked at Xiao Qin'er coldly, "You are not here to speak."
Xiao Qin'er was furious, her chest rising and falling fiercely.
Gu Jiu stood silently behind Liu Zhao.
The battle between Liu Zhao and his brother did not require her to participate. She just needs to be as quiet as a chicken.
As for Xiao Qin'er, he talked too much and was taught by Liu Zhao, and he was also to blame.
Xiao Qin'er refused to accept it, relying on the concubine Shu as her backer, she wanted to stand for Liu Yi.
Liu Yi suddenly stretched out his hand, pressed it on the back of Xiao Qin'er, and shook his head slightly at her.
Then, he smiled coldly, "My eldest brother has such a big temper. On the second day of the wedding, he called my younger brother to kill me. The eldest brother wants to kill me."
Liu Zhao said blankly: "You are disrespectful to your eldest brother and sister-in-law, if you speak arrogantly with Meng Lang, you just owe a lesson."
Liu Yi snorted coldly, "It's just a joke, and the eldest brother is anxious. It is so dull and boring, and he can't even make a joke."
The second son, Liu Ping, said, "Eldest brother, fourth brother, don't let your sister-in-law read the jokes."
Liu Yi said with a nonchalant smile: "Big brother doesn't care about Sister-in-law's feelings, so why should we care."
"Brothers, don't talk about it. It's like this in the morning, I'm so scared."
Liu Ge, the third girl from the palace, said weakly.
"The prince, the princess is here!"
Outside the courtyard, Huang Menlang sang and stopped the dispute in the hall.
King Ning guarded the imperial mausoleum, and he really wanted to enjoy it.
Princess Ning Pei is as always.
When the couple walked into the hall, Princess Ning Pei first glanced at Gu Jiu, her eyes disgusting.
The couple walked to the couch and knelt down in front of the short couple.
There are no seats in the main hall. According to the traditional layout, there are only low tables and a couch for the main seat.
Everyone bowed and stood, "See father and mother."
"Free gift!"
Lord Ning languidly leaned back on the couch and tilted his body.
Princess Ning Pei looked at him, "The new wife hasn't served the tea yet, so she's so decent."
King Ning didn't care, "It's okay. I drank too much last night, this will still be sleepy."
Princess Ning Pei had a straight face, "Which little fairy did you fool around with?"
King Ning was too lazy to pay attention, waved his hand, and urged: "Sit down, all sit down. The eldest daughter-in-law has tea quickly. After all the etiquette, this king will return to the room to rest."
Everyone returned to their respective positions and knelt down on the ground.
At this time, Xiao Qin'er suddenly wiped out tears.
Princess Ning Pei was surprised, "Qin'er, why wipe your tears?"
Xiao Qin'er choked and said: "Enjoy the mother and concubine. The eldest son shouted and screamed at her husband as soon as he arrived, and threw the teacup at the husband's face, almost disfigured."
"Really?"
"It's true, my daughter-in-law dare not talk nonsense."
Princess Ning Pei was furious, but Liu Yi was her favorite son.
"The mother and concubine calm down, and the son is fine, please don't pursue the eldest brother. The eldest brother is also unintentional." Liu Yi came forward and even spoke for Liu Zhao.
Gu Jiu secretly glanced at Liu Zhao: Your brother is better than you.
Liu Zhao's face was expressionless, and there was no reaction at all.
Snapped!
Princess Ning Pei patted the table and furiously said: "Lawlessness is simply lawlessness. On the second day of the wedding, I shouted and screamed at my brother. Is it true that my wings are hard? He is your brother, you are Eldest brother, I don’t have the slightest kindness to my brother, will you do something to this princess another day?"
Liu Zhao's complexion was deep, "Please don't listen to your concubine. My son never does it for no reason. Since I do it with my fourth brother, I naturally have a reason to do it."
"What reason, what reason, you say!" Princess Ning Pei shouted at Liu Zhao.
King Ning had been lying outside, without saying a word, his eyes swept left and right, as if watching a farce.
Liu Zhao said in a cold voice: "The fourth brother said improperly, disrespectful to the eldest wife, and arranged the boudoir. Shouldn't it be a lesson?"
Lord Ning nodded, "It's time to teach."
"Prince!" Princess Ning Pei looked at King Ning dissatisfied.
Lord Ning simply sat up, "The fourth child, because he has too little experience. What should be said and what should not be said, he must have a sense of measure in his heart."
Liu Yi lowered his head and felt aggrieved. "The son didn't intentionally arrange it, he just made a joke with his eldest brother. Who knows that elder brother can't make a joke, he just started to say a few words."
Lord Ning said: "The boss is too serious, which is not good."
Concubine Ning Pei can see it, the prince is planning to get rid of the mud.
She snorted coldly, "Anyway, it's not right to do it."
Lord Ning pointed to Liu Yi, "Do you think he has something to do?"
Pointing to Liu Zhao again, "Look at this kid, look at his stubborn temper and hate it? This is what the king said, and it ends here. The eldest daughter-in-law, you hurry up to offer tea, and you are all courtesy. Patience is here, very tired."
Gu Jiu Shi Shiran stood up, "The daughter-in-law listens to the father."
After all, she stepped forward.
The maid put on the mat.
Gu Jiu knelt on the mat, took the teacup from the maid, and raised her hands high, "My daughter-in-law pays respects to the father, and I wish him good health and all the best."
Lord Ning laughed haha, "Good, not bad."
Gu Jiu, the attendant, took the teacup and placed it in front of King Ning.
King Ning picked up the teacup and took a symbolic sip, which was considered to be his wife's tea.
Then, Gu Jiu offered the prepared gift, "Father, this is a little bit from my daughter-in-law, please accept it."
Lord Ning was very simple and waved his hand, "Accept it."
The servant stepped forward and accepted gifts for Lord Ning, all of which were clothes, footwear, and scriptures.
Afterwards, Gu Jiu knelt in front of Princess Ning Pei again, holding up the tea cup with both hands.
"My daughter-in-law pays homage to her mother and concubine, wishing her good health and youth."
Princess Ning Pei smiled, "Well, the rules are good. From now on, we must regard the husband as the heaven, and the husband and the son.
You have been weak since you were young, and serving the boss, I think you are also weak.
The maids around the boss are all old people in the mansion, and they have good character, talent and appearance.
As for you, as a master mother, give them a little dignity and let them share the worries for you, so you don't have to work so hard.
In the morning, the sun is not knowing how high it is, and I can't get up in bed, it's unreasonable.
When it is time to let the subordinates share their worries, be generous. Don't be the jealous woman. "
Gu Jiu lowered his head, and a sarcasm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
However, she respectfully said: "Thank you for your mother and concubine's teachings. The daughter-in-law will take care of her mother and concubine's words."
When Princess Ning Pei saw Gu Jiu's attitude, she felt much better.
"It's so good. As the grandson of the emperor, you must always remind yourself to be generous and tolerant, to consider everything for the boss, and not to be selfish."
"Daughter-in-law knows."
Gu Jiu smiled.
In front of the elders, it is natural to be dignified and respectful. As for how to do it in private, of course she has the final say.
If you move your lips and talk to the princess, you can make the princess happy, why not do it.
Princess Ning Pei babbled a few more words such as rules, and then took the teacup and took a symbolic sip.
Then, Gu Jiu sent for needlework.
Concubine Ning Pei glanced critically, "The needlework is too rough. It seems that the boss's clothes can't count on you. No matter, we still have to let the needlework maids work harder and make a few sets for the old man."
"Thank you for your understanding," Gu Jiu said softly.
Princess Ning Pei snorted, "What about you, the needle and thread are not good, and the body is weak again. I really don't know what you can do?"
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "Naturally be a big lady."
Princess Ning's Pei frowned, "Presumptuous! Are you dissatisfied with this Princess?"
Gu Jiu shook his head repeatedly, "Mother and concubine misunderstood, and my daughter-in-law just said casually."
"Huh! You should be punished for improper speech. But if you just walked in, I won't punish you today. Be careful next time."
"Thank you for your tolerance."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled. Today, she gives everyone the face, but another day she will let everyone give her face.
"Fine, get up."
Princess Ning Pei said lightly.
"Thank you, mother concubine."
Gu Jiu got up from the ground, and then met Liu Zhao's brothers and sisters and all the younger siblings at first sight, and gave them the greetings they had prepared.
Everyone was polite and greeted Gu Jiu with a smile.
Liu Yi also apologized to Gu Jiu, "I was the one who didn't speak properly before, please forgive me."
"Four sons are polite."
Only Xiao Qin'er rolled his eyes to Gu Jiu.
In a blink of an eye, she laughed again, "Sister-in-law can be regarded as entering the door, but we have been looking forward to her."
Gu Jiu smiled, "The four younger siblings can really laugh, and I will talk again when I have time."
"Okay, let's talk another day."
"Since we all know each other, let's go away."
Lord Ning was very impatient and drank a wife's tea, almost exhausting him. He has to go back to the room to catch up.
Princess Ning Pei was very upset, "A lot of age, and I don't know how to maintain it. I mingled with those little fairies all day, and be careful that my bones are hollowed out."
Lord Ning stood up and pointed at Pei, "You just talk a lot of nonsense. If this king's body is really hollowed out, you can't be happy."
"The prince is killing my heart!" Pei cried suddenly, and wiped the tears on the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
"I look forward to your long life, and remind you to take care of it. But you punish my heart and slander me looking forward to your body being hollowed out. Do you still have a conscience?"
Pei cried every word, and complained every word, accusing King Ning of being a big pig's hoof.
Lord Ning's head suddenly grew bigger, "Okay, okay, this king said something wrong, I will pay you no. This king will go back to the room to rest first, and then eat together at night."
