Therefore, there was no difficulty in serving tea.

He happily accepted the tea from his grandson's wife, gave her a few instructions, and then smiled as he handed her a heavy box.

Lu Zhenzhen was caught off guard and almost didn't catch it.

I don’t know how many good things this old lady stuffed into the box.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Lu Zhenzhen really wanted to open it and take a look on the spot.

But then I thought, in addition to the old marquis and the old lady, there will be several heavyweight elders serving tea today, so the gift of greeting must be indispensable.

I suddenly became energetic again.

With a pious expression and determined eyes, he kowtowed and thanked the old marquis and the old lady.

Next, the prince of the marquis's mansion, his wife, and the second master and his wife were also very tactful.

Since the Marquis and the old lady seemed quite satisfied with their new nephew's wife, they naturally had to show even more satisfaction.

Their moves were all very domineering.

The Crown Prince and his wife were each given a pair of mutton-fat white jade flounder pendants, and the other was given a pair of jasper bracelets.

The second master and his wife were both down-to-earth people. They gave the couple nine pairs of chubby little golden pigs, each weighing nine taels.

When it was the turn of the third master and his wife, the third master gave them a set of four treasures of the study, which made the third wife, Mrs. Lan, very happy.

Not only did he drink his wife's tea in one breath, he also stood up and helped Lu Zhenzhen up.

There was a hint of guilt in his eyes, but more of gratitude.

Giving her a set of gold and ruby ​​head ornaments still felt insufficient, so he took off a top-grade mutton-fat white jade bracelet from his wrist and put it on Lu Zhenzhen's wrist.

He patted Lu Zhenzhen's hand with tears in his eyes: "Good children, good children, you must be good in the future!"

If there wasn't someone waiting to greet him from behind, he would probably be reluctant to let go of Lu Zhenzhen's hand.

Next are peers and younger generations.

They greeted each other and gave each other gifts.

It would be fine for others, but when she came in front of the Third Master Fu Zhiming and the Zhao couple, taking the opportunity to serve tea and greet each other, Lu Zhenzhen took a few more glances at Fu Zhiming, the crazy male protagonist of "The Marquis's Sweetheart and Second Wife".

The crazy man in the book is crazy for his little wife, crazy for his little wife, and even bangs his head against the wall for his little wife.

He seems to be a gentleman at the moment, but you can't judge a book by its cover!

Perhaps it was because Lu Zhenzhen's gaze was too obvious and prominent, Fu Zhiming felt a little uneasy and hesitated to speak.

He could only look at Fu Zhiyi who was standing beside him for help: "Fourth Brother, why does your wife always look at me like that? Please take care of her!"

Fu Zhiyi was also puzzled. He was very sure that Lu Zhenzhen had never met the third brother before, or even anyone from their Fu family.

But why is there such a strange look in her eyes only when she sees the third brother?

Surprise, emotion, and a hint of contempt?

Fu Zhiyi almost thought he had seen it wrong. Why did she despise the third brother?

My mind raced, wondering if the third brother had done something shameful outside?

still?

Several possibilities flashed through my mind at once.

But he suppressed them all in an instant. No matter what it was, today was the day for serving tea and nothing could go wrong.

He gently tugged at Lu Zhenzhen's sleeve, and when she looked at him, he gave her a warning look.

Lu Zhenzhen came to her senses and thought, "Oh no! I was so engrossed in the food that I forgot about my work. Damn it! Will the boss deduct my performance?"

He smiled at Fu Zhiyi in a flattering manner.

Fu Zhiyi snorted and let her go for the time being.

The exchange of glances between the young couple was seen by the elders and several brothers and sisters-in-law, but no one knew what was going on and all of them wore smiles on their faces.

Second Madam Qin patted Third Madam Lan's arm soothingly: "Now that the fourth son has married into the family, it seems that the couple has a good relationship. You can just wait to enjoy the happiness of holding your grandchildren in your arms!"

Lan, who had originally had a somewhat relieved smile on her face, froze her smile. She felt bitter inside, but she had to deal with it: "They are still young, especially the fourth daughter-in-law, who still looks like a child. There's still time to raise a child when the fourth daughter-in-law is older!"

Lu Zhenzhen, who had overheard this, thought: "You know I'm just a child, but you're still putting such a big blame on me? Have you considered my feelings?"

Turned to look at Fu Zhiyi.

Fu Zhiyi had a blank expression on his face, and even had time to glare at her, motioning her to follow him, as he still had the younger generations to greet.

Lu Zhenzhen thought to herself that she was still young and her spine had not yet fully developed, so she could not bear such a heavy blame!

After serving tea, I have to take some time to talk to Fu Zhiyi. There will definitely be many days in the future when my family will urge me to have a baby, so I have to think of an excuse first.

The etiquette when meeting the younger generation was simple. I accepted gifts from a few children and gave each of them a toy. Boys got an extra set of four treasures of the study, and girls got a few exquisite pearl hairpins. That was it.

The people we met today were all relatives of the Marquis's family, no outsiders, so it was quite quick.

After the tea was served, the men naturally didn't want to stay any longer, and since they had something else to do, they all went their separate ways.

The only people left in the house were women, children and a newlywed couple.

According to the rules, Lu Zhenzhen is a new bride and should serve the elders breakfast today.

However, old lady Bai loved Lu Zhenzhen so much, and Lan felt guilty, so she simply excused her from the matter, saying that she felt sorry for the newlyweds and that they were tired yesterday, so she let them go back to their rooms to have a good rest today, and it would not be too late to serve them after they recovered.

Who would want to go to work if they could take a vacation? Lu Zhenzhen naturally wanted to follow suit.

But he was still a little hesitant, looking left and right at Fu Zhiyi and then at Lan.

Mrs. Hu, the eldest grandson's wife of the Marquis's Mansion, saw this and smiled at Lu Zhenzhen in a soothing manner, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. The old ancestors and the ladies are the most considerate and caring towards us younger generations. Your second and third sisters-in-law and I were exempted from serving meals for the first three days of our wedding."

"After three days, even if you want to shirk your duties, you won't be able to! The ancestors and the ladies have the three of us sisters-in-law to serve them, so you don't have to worry! Go to the fourth brother's house quickly! Otherwise, I'm afraid the fourth brother will be heartbroken——"

These words made the old lady Bai Shi couldn't help laughing. She pointed at Hu Shi and said, "You mischievous person! Your fourth brother's wife is young and inexperienced. How can she withstand such teasing from you?"

Mrs. Hu refused to agree: "Grandma, you've forgotten the old one just because you have a new one! Now that you have a new grandson and his wife, we old grandsons and their wives are no longer popular! Oh, I apologize to my fourth brother's wife. Can you punish me by making me serve Grandma all day today?"

These words made Bai laugh even more, and even the three wives couldn't help laughing.

The maids and old women in the room were cheering and making jokes, and they laughed non-stop.

Amidst the bustle, only the third son Fu Zhiming's wife, Mrs. Zhao, inadvertently curled her lips, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Lu Zhenzhen saw everything and kept it in mind.

It seems that the relationship between the third generation brothers of the Marquis' Mansion is not as harmonious as it seems!

Thanks to Hu's jokes, Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen escaped smoothly and returned to Tingtaoju with a bunch of spoils.
