Chapter 149: Dismounting.(1/2)

He just held the handkerchief and continued to wipe the corners of his eyes, as if he couldn't help himself.

Even the people below looked at He at a loss, wondering what Zheng was going to do.

Qiao Guxin's expression remained as usual, just waiting for Zheng to act here.

After Mrs. Zheng calmed down, she raised her hand to signal the girl behind her to come forward.

Shen Qiuhe couldn't help but frown, looking at the shape of the thing covering the girl's head under the red cloth, she vaguely guessed something.

Until the girl put her things down, there was obviously a sound of wood colliding with the table.

Mrs. Zheng turned sideways and reached out to lift the red cloth, "Your brother has always loved you. I had a dream last night that he wanted to watch you get married."

When the red cloth was unveiled, the late prince's spiritual tablet was revealed to everyone.

When Mrs. He saw it, she moved her body and immediately stood up using the chair. However, as soon as she got up, she slowly sat down again.

Qiao Guxin looked at Shen Qiuhe again, with a bit of ridicule on his face. Who in the right mind would come up with a spiritual tablet on a big day? All the spiritual tablets of the old Duke of Guo were placed in the ancestral hall, but it was their brothers. Deeper than father and son?

If you really want to comfort the souls of the dead, just let Shen Qiuhe take the bride to visit the ancestral hall, and let all the ancestors of the Shen family see it.

And now, what is it?

Husband is the guide of wife. Qiao Guxin remembered Shen Qiuhe's words very much, so she took a step back, turned her head and discussed with Shen Qiuhe in a low voice, "We should kowtow four times to our brother."

There are three people and four ghosts, this is the rule.

When serving tea, Qiao Guxin should have stood, but now that the deceased was the most important, Qiao Guxin naturally had to kneel down.

Mrs. Zheng wanted to give Qiao Guxin a blow.

But Qiao's original intention was to pull Shen Qiuhe.

Shen Qiuhe's face was livid. If it could be said before that Zheng didn't think things through at the moment, but after so many things happened, Shen Qiuhe knew very well what Zheng was thinking.

Qiao Guxin is still waiting for Shen Qiuhe to speak, she will never bow her head first.

Shen Qiuhe thought for a moment, then raised his hand and asked someone to bring the futon over, "Let's serve tea to my brother and sister-in-law." He then took the lead and knelt in front of his late son's spiritual tablet, and kowtowed four times in a dignified manner.

Then he picked up the teacup with both hands and poured it directly onto the ground.

Again, four cups of tea.

However, after serving the tea, Shen Qiuhe stood up, stretched out his hand to support Qiao Guxin, and then turned around and led him to sit opposite Zheng.

Zheng's face was ugly, which meant that Shen Qiuhe's four cups of tea represented it all.

He said he was respecting his brother and sister-in-law, but it was like cursing Mrs. Zheng.

But He didn't let Zheng speak. Looking at Shen Qiuhe sitting down, He waved to Shen Chongyuan, "Come here to meet your uncle and aunt."

Although the Shen family is also a large family, the Duke and the Crown Prince have gone away, and the aunt and concubine have been given to the He family, so now only these two rooms are occupied in the Duke's mansion.

Shen Chongyuan specially wore a new set of clothes today. Hearing his grandmother calling him, he immediately got down from the chair. The child didn't know what the adults were thinking. He just thought that this wedding was really lively. He could have stayed up late last night. Plus, Shang Qiao Guxin also played with him, so he was smiling all over his face at the moment, "I've met my uncle and aunt."

Editing with both hands is quite impressive.

No matter what, Qiao Guxin would never care about a child. He pulled Shen Chongyuan in front of him with a smile on his face, "Okay, okay, good boy."

Then he looked at Mr. He and said, "Chong Yuan is quite tall. Many children are a head shorter than Chong Yuan."

Everyone likes to hear compliments. He's expression softened and he nodded lightly, "Xu is following his father."

My late son is an outstanding talent.

After complimenting Mr. He, Qiao Guxin asked the rosary to deliver the prepared things to Shen Chongyuan, "Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"

The box was placed on the table, Qiao Guxin smiled and rubbed Shen Chongyuan's head.

Although the wet nurse had explained before that it was against the rules for elders to open gifts in person, but now that Qiao Guxin took the initiative to mention it, Shen Chongyuan naturally couldn't hold it in and opened the box with his hands.

Zheng opened her mouth to refuse, but it was too late.

Opening the box, Shen Chongyuan shook his head in disappointment at first. He has already gone to school now, and the things Qiao Guxin gave will definitely be used in the study. Adults can tell at a glance that they are expensive, but for children, these are useless things.

Until he turned his head and saw the ingenious wooden machine, Shen Chongyuan's eyes instantly lit up.

"Thank you, aunt." Even her voice was much cheerful.

Not many boys can refuse these things.

The things given to the study room are given in price, to put it bluntly, they are for adults. These clever items are really prepared for children, and they are all suitable gifts.

It was rare for Mr. He to say to Qiao Guxin, "You have a heart."

Qiao Guxin smiled and shook his head, "Of course, my father has been in the Ministry of Industry for some years, and I have some connections. If Chongyuan likes it, I will look for more when I have time."

"I like it, Auntie, I like it very much." Shen Chongyuan was still looking at this ingenious piece, but at this moment he suddenly raised it, took Qiao Guxin's arm and started shaking it.

Seeing that Shen Chongyuan was so willing to get close to Qiao Guxin, Mrs. Zheng's face darkened. After a moment, she forced a smile and said, "My younger siblings are so awesome. They guessed what Chongyuan likes right away. As a mother, I can't do that."

For many years, I didn’t know that Chongyuan liked things from the Ministry of Works. When Chongyuan grows up, I want him to be a good official in the Ministry of Works who serves the country and the people like the Marquis."

What she said was very interesting. He's face changed as soon as she finished saying it.

If the Ministry of Industry is not in power, it is definitely not a good place. Shen Chongyuan is still young, and in He's heart, it will naturally take a long time. The Ministry of Industry is definitely not a good choice and is not worthy of the status of the future Duke.

He's smile faded quickly, and then she beckoned Shen Chongyuan to come to her, "The things your aunt gave are naturally good, but you can't play with them all the time if you lose your mind by playing with them."

This sentence of "playing with things and losing one's ambition" is a slap in the face of Qiao Guxin.

Qiao Guxin's smile did not change. She was no longer the same as before. She would feel uneasy because of He's words. She naturally turned her head and looked at Shen Qiuhe, "It's because I didn't think well."

Qiao Guxin could naturally refute what He said, but she had no such intention and left it to Shen Qiuhe directly.

If Shen Qiuhe stands with the He family, then Qiao's heart will not be lost, and she will not be able to take into account the He family's wishes. She can only pity Shen Chongyuan and become a victim of the fight between adults.

If Shen Qiuhe is sensible and feels that He's words are too serious, then let Shen Qiuhe argue with He here, so that Shen Qiuhe can also know what it feels like to be in a quarrel with each other.

Shen Qiuhe picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip, then put it down again, "Mom, relax, children like to install and dismantle things. Things produced by the Ministry of Industry must be made by everyone. There is no harm in having more contact with Chongyuan."

When Mrs. He saw that Shen Qiuhe was already in the spotlight, she was unwilling to do so. On the first day of their marriage, he was helping his daughter-in-law to contradict her own mother. How could that be okay?

He snorted coldly, "What do you know? You men don't raise children, how do you know how this child is raised? Is there any harm in this thing? I don't know better than you?"

Then he muttered a few words about how to pay attention in daily life.

Shen Qiuhe didn't want to listen to these filthy things. He just felt that he was a man and knew what to do. However, when his mother kept talking, he couldn't talk back anymore, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to listen.

Seeing the impatience on Shen Qiuhe's face, Qiao Guxin pouted, feeling that he deserved it.

He came over early in the morning without eating anything. Hearing Mr. He's words, his stomach growled a few times. Qiao Guxin didn't want to wrong himself, so he immediately took a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth. Pad your belly.

Shen Qiuhe became more and more impatient as he listened. He happened to see Qiao Guxin eating there from the corner of his eye, and then sneered.

Qiao Gu felt quite comfortable being punished here. As soon as He stopped talking, Shen Qiuhe stood up and said, "My son has official duties and will go back first."

According to the rules, after serving tea today, Qiao Guxin had to serve Mr. He for breakfast, so Shen Qiuhe had no intention of taking Qiao Guxin out.

Naturally, He hoped that Shen Qiuhe would leave quickly so that his eyes would not hurt when he was here, so he waved his hand without even thinking about it.

Mrs. Zheng has been grounded these days. She was released because of a happy event in the house. At this moment, she looked around and didn't know whether she should avoid it. Then she sat still and looked sideways at Mr. He, " Chongyuan has been looking forward to Qiuhe's marriage these days, and now he can see that his uncle has an aunt, and many people love him."

Mrs. He saw that Shen Chongyuan was still playing with the things Qiao Guxin had given her, and she stretched out her hand, but she did not take it away from the child. "Now that we have such a precious baby, we should take more care of him."

Seeing that it was getting late, he ordered dinner to be served.

Seeing that Mr. He also asked Shen Chongyuan to sit in front of her, that meant that she did not have to leave during the meal, so that Mr. Zheng could eat at the same table with Mr. He.

During the meal, He had an excuse to take away Shen Chongyuan's things and let him sit and eat in peace.

It's just that as Qiao Guxin's bride, she naturally has to stand behind Mr. He, waiting to serve her.

Shen Chongyuan had never experienced this. When he picked up the chopsticks, he felt something was wrong. He raised his head and looked at Qiao Guxin, "Auntie, don't you want to eat?"

Mrs. Zheng sat in front of Shen Chongyuan and asked the people below to pick out a few of Shen Chongyuan's food lovers and move them to him. After listening to Shen Chongyuan's words, she raised her head and glanced at Qiao Guxin, with a natural smile on her face, "Mr. Chongyuan Eat, Auntie is not hungry."

Shen Chongyuan said oh, lowered his head and started to eat.

Mrs. He didn't deliberately waste time on Qiao Guxin, she just let Qiao Guxin watch them eat from behind. When they were full, Mrs. He directly let the meals be brought down.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. He asked the nanny and her son to take Shen Chongyuan out to play for a while.

There were no children in front of her, so He didn't have any scruples in what he said. She raised her head and glanced at Qiao Guxin, "I understand that you are a bride and don't know the rules, but you should understand the common etiquette. Last night, you acted in a domineering manner on the first day you entered the house. The one who made the fortune is showing off his prestige, and now that you are married in, the wife of the Shen family must behave properly in every word and deed."

Yesterday, the mother-in-law was an old man from the Duke's mansion. She was pushed out by the rosary. Her face was dull and she would definitely complain to the He family.

Qiao Guxin nodded, "It is true that my daughter-in-law did not handle this matter properly. I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Since you just walked in, I won't punish you. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being unkind!" After saying that, He raised his hand and asked someone to give the ring to Qiao Guxin, "

Copy it when you have nothing to do, and don't let me see you acting unruly again."

When her mother-in-law lectured her, Qiao Guxin could only nod her head.

The smile on Mrs. Zheng's face next to her could not be concealed, "Don't be angry, mother. My siblings are still young. If there are some inappropriate things, they can be corrected if someone teaches them."

Mrs. He snorted, "Don't intercede for her. It just so happens that you are free recently, so teach her more rules."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's eyes were filled with laughter. Although Mrs. He meant it, she still refused to give Mrs. Zheng the right to be the head of the house. But at least she could leave the yard normally and she could also give advice to Qiao. Naturally, it showed.

If his status is higher than Qiao Guxin's, this is also a good thing.

He said a few more words to Qiao Guxin before letting Qiao Guxin leave.
