The road to wealth of a peasant widow

Chapter 225 Newlywed

Time flies, and soon it is the wedding day in Chang'an.

It's already very hot today, and people will sweat even if they sit still, not to mention having a banquet with many people. Especially when the guests are all wearing neat and decent clothes, it's too hot just to think about it.

However, Chen Cui had prepared a lot of ice in advance and placed ice basins in the corners around the banquet table, which continuously released cold air into the room, so that the people who came to the banquet felt almost no discomfort.

Even the guests attending the banquet were considered so thoughtfully, not to mention the second daughter-in-law who had just married into the family.

Because Qin Ruozhi, the eldest daughter-in-law, had to help Chen Cui entertain the female guests and deal with emergencies that might occur at any time during the banquet, the task of visiting the bridal chamber to express condolences fell on Suisui, the younger sister-in-law.

She was already familiar with this kind of thing, but this time she served her second sister-in-law a bowl of cool and refreshing shredded chicken cold noodles.

"Second sister-in-law, this cold noodle is soaked in ice water, it's very cool, and there's also pepper oil in it, it's delicious!"

She thought that she had already eaten a lot at the table and felt very full, but now her stomach seemed empty again and she still wanted to eat something. She would go eat some more later.

Although they had been engaged for more than half a year and she had met her sister-in-law several times before, it was the first time she was called "second sister-in-law" and it was on her wedding night. Zhang Hongjuan, a generous and straightforward girl, still felt a little embarrassed.

But this cold noodles is really delicious. Although it is not very spicy, the unique flavor of the peppercorns still makes her linger.

However, considering that this was the wedding night, the portion of cold noodles was not very large. It was just to make her hungry stomach less hungry. It was impossible for her to eat too much.

Alas, why does every bride have to go hungry on her wedding day!

Sui Sui couldn't help but sigh when he saw his second sister-in-law eating in a very polite and quick way!

After filling her stomach, Zhang Hongjuan felt like she was alive again.

She was wearing an elaborate wedding dress and a heavy headdress that day, and the bridesmaid was watching her from the side and not letting her move. She felt like she was almost freezing.

When Chang'an entered the bridal chamber drunk, he saw his beloved, who had recovered her spirits and had moist lips, sitting at the table waiting for his arrival.

In fact, he didn't drink much wine at all. Most of the wine in his wine bottle was water, with only a little wine mixed in, so it had a slight smell of alcohol.

His eldest brother and third brother blocked all the toasts from others, and he actually drank only a small portion. The reason why he smelled of alcohol was because he deliberately spilled some wine on himself so that he could pretend to be drunk and get away as soon as possible.

However, although he had not drunk much, when he saw the beauty, his face turned red involuntarily, his ears felt hot, and he felt as if the blood in his body was about to boil, and his body was burning!

When he woke up early the next morning, Chang'an still felt like he was dreaming last night. Looking at Hongjuan's peaceful sleeping face, he couldn't help but laugh silently.

The two of them got up, packed up, went to greet Chen Cui and offer her tea, then met the whole family, and then everyone had the first breakfast after the new daughter-in-law came into the family.

Although Chang'an had told her in advance what would happen after her sister-in-law came home, Zhang Hongjuan still did not dare to be careless or disrespectful. She still followed her mother's instructions and observed etiquette to serve her mother-in-law.

Before she could stand in front of her mother-in-law, Chen Cui gently pushed her and said with a smile: "Hurry up and sit down. We are not particular about that. I can pick up what I want to eat myself. If it doesn't work, there are maids. You won't be needed to serve us. Sit down and eat!"

After thanking her, Zhang Hongjuan took a seat according to the seating arrangement, feeling very happy. As expected, this mother-in-law was just as Chang'an said, very kind and not difficult to get along with at all!

Everyone started eating only after Chen Cui started chopping. Even Brother Xuan, who was only three years old, used special small chopsticks and ate the special children's meal while sitting around a bib.

All the food that Xuange likes to eat is placed in front of him. After he finishes eating one item, he puts another one on his plate. The half-warm soup is placed next to him. If he is in a hurry to eat, he can just take a sip and put it back in its place. The adults don’t have to worry about him at all.

Zhang Hongjuan has four brothers. The eldest is more than ten years older than her. The other brothers have all married and have children. There are more than a dozen nephews and nieces in the family, but no one has ever seen such a young child eat so well by himself.

She had heard in the past that children in wealthy families were spoiled, and were still drinking milk and needed to be fed even when they were several years old. But this child was different from what she had expected!

As if she had seen through her sister-in-law's doubts, Qin Ruozhi smiled and said, "I raised Brother Xuan according to what my mother told me. He is very worry-free. He could eat porridge when he was six months old, and was weaned when he was one and a half years old. After that, I let him learn to eat by himself. Now he has almost learned it. I just need to ask him what he wants to eat in advance and put it in front of him."

In addition to being a housekeeper, Qin Ruozhi also has to learn medical skills, help out in the clinic, and squeeze out time to spend more time with her children.

At first she didn't realize this. She thought that the child was taken care of by the wet nurse and the maid, and that as long as the arrangements were appropriate, she would be relieved as long as the child was healthy.

It was my mother-in-law who reminded me that a mother is irreplaceable. She should pay attention to the growth of her children, set aside time for herself to be with her children, and cultivate the relationship between mother and child.

Also, no matter how busy she is, when Changping is at home or on vacation, she should make time to be with her husband. Any kind of relationship needs to be maintained, not only between husband and wife, but also between mother and son and father and son.

She listened to her mother-in-law's advice and arranged everything properly. Brother Xuan is close to her, and she and her husband are still in love, as if they were just married. All of this is inseparable from her mother-in-law's teachings!

Thinking of this, Qin Ruozhi looked at her husband and son sitting next to her, then looked at her mother-in-law with gratitude, feeling that she was really lucky.

In the past, she had heard of many cases of scheming and evil mothers-in-law destroying the relationship between their sons and daughters-in-law, and she had worried that she would encounter such a situation in the future.

But after getting married, not only did the mother-in-law not do this, but she stood on the side of her daughter-in-law, helping to win over her husband and bringing harmony to the couple. She is truly a rare good mother-in-law in the world!

When she thought about how her mother-in-law not only did not object to her studying medicine, but also opened a clinic to support her, she felt like she had hit the jackpot in her life and everything was perfect!

After listening to her sister-in-law's words, Zhang Hongjuan nodded thoughtfully.

The mother that the eldest sister-in-law was referring to was definitely not Mrs. Qin, but her own mother-in-law. Unlike some grandmothers who want to keep their grandchildren in their own hands and spoil them, her own mother-in-law seems to have a very different idea.

It seems that what Changan said was true, his mother is really a good person!
