Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Chapter 319 Tea Serving

Fortunately, there is not much time left until the dinner.

These people didn't make a fuss for long and went to have dinner.

Otherwise, both of them would be embarrassed to death.

After a few more people's clever ideas, the bridal chamber prank was over.

Zhao Yuanzhen sent someone to invite them to dinner.

Those who stayed behind to make trouble in the bridal chamber were in an exquisite little flower hall, accompanied by Zhang Xinshuo.

The remaining 80-odd tables were occupied by servants and family members.

It was placed in the lobby and flower gallery in the morning.

Sitting at each table were Zhang's servants and people from the shop.

Everyone was enjoying the banquet happily.

The boss said that there will be plenty of wine and meat today. Eat as much as you want.

Give them all a day off tomorrow.

This way you can drink as much as you want.

"Mighty Madam!"

"Madam is generous!"

"Madam is kind!"

Flattery must keep up.

They also made the tables themselves, basically choosing people they had a good relationship with and who they could hang out with to work on them together.

This way it will taste harmonious when you drink it.

Zhao Yuanzhen came over and toasted everyone from a distance.

"Everyone has worked hard recently, eat and drink well!"

Zhang Xinshu got married recently, and the mansion was very busy. The servants didn't get much rest and were always busy.

Especially those in the kitchen.

Zhao Yuanzhen has already said that these cooks cook intensively every day.

Every cook, kitchen servant and maid in the kitchen will receive a red envelope reward!

Ten taels of silver per person!

When the cooks heard about such a big red envelope, they all laughed so hard.

Although I am really exhausted, but this red envelope is worth it!

This is a 10-liang red envelope! Even if they have to endure a few more days of high intensity, they can still hold on!

After Zhao Yuanzhen finished toasting, she took the food box and went to Zhang Xinshu's courtyard.

"lady!"

"Well, give this to the young lady!"

"Yes!"

"Also prepare some hot water for the young mistress and the young master."

Zhao Yuanzhen whispered these words to the maidservant.

"Yes, ma'am, I understand."

The maid also answered in a low voice!

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded and went back to the front hall.

The maid handed the lunch box to Xier. It was the same big lunch box as the one used at noon, and it contained more than a dozen dishes.

Xier took the food box and went to find her young lady.

Madam is really thoughtful.

Then he invited the lady to dinner.

Everyone ate dinner, but soon, the guests who came to the banquet said goodbye and left after their meal.

Zhao Yuanzhen did not restrict the remaining servants and let them do as they please.

Just treat it as a holiday for them. The servants were extremely happy.

You can't go home until you're drunk tonight.

Finally, the work was done and Yue Hongmian and the others went back to have a good rest.

I'm very tired these days.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't force her to stay.

She called Zhang Xinshu aside and gave him some instructions in a whisper.

"Xin Shu, you don't have to get up so early tomorrow morning. Just sleep until you wake up naturally. When you wake up, have breakfast and then come over to serve tea."

"Yes, mother, thank you for your consideration for the new bride!"

"If Qiu'er is embarrassed, just say that your sisters-in-law and I are probably tired and may not get up so early. Let's serve tea later."

"Okay, mother!"

"Well, let's go!"

Go quickly, go quickly.

A night of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and today is the most important event in his life, his wedding night.

Zhao Yuanzhen was tactful enough not to nag any further.

After Zhang Xinshuo returned, Zhao Yuanzhen gave instructions to Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan.

"You two have worked hard these past two days. You must be exhausted. Sleep a little longer tomorrow morning and don't have to get up so early. I've also told Xin Shu that we'll serve tea later. Get some rest."

"Oh, okay, mom."

The two were really tired and wanted to have a good rest.

Especially Qian Xiaohui, who basically didn't sleep the whole night yesterday.

At this moment, my eyes were so sleepy that I could hardly open them.

"Well, let's go back and rest."

"Yes, mother, you should rest early too."

The two said hello and went back.

Zhao Yuanzhen was also very tired. After washing up, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Getting married and holding a wedding ceremony is really tiring.

All in all, I was busy for more than a month.

Not only does it consume manpower and material resources, it is also very tiring.

Fortunately, my mission was accomplished.

As for the remaining grandchildren, I will not be in charge of them. I will let their parents take care of them. They are too old to bear the hassle.

Zhao Yuanzhen slept very soundly and did not wake up until 9 o'clock the next morning.

After washing up, I felt more energetic.

"Ma'am, are you awake?"

Lan Ying heard the noise and hurried over.

"Well, didn't I give you a day off? Why don't you take a good rest?"

"I went to bed early yesterday and I'm not tired today. I'm afraid they're all on holiday and there's no one to wait on Madam."

Lan Ying doesn't like drinking very much. After the banquet last night, she went back home early to rest.

So I got up quite early today.

"Oh, you are thoughtful. Is the Third Young Madam awake?"

"I'm awake. The Third Young Master is in the courtyard. I've already gone to the kitchen to get breakfast."

When she was having breakfast in the morning, she happened to see someone from the Third Young Master's yard coming over to get breakfast.

"What time did it happen?"

"About a quarter of an hour ago."

Half an hour?

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late for me to get up.

"Have the eldest and second young ladies gotten up yet?"

"Madam, everyone is up. It's about the same time as the Third Young Master. They're getting their breakfast right before you."

It seems that everyone is really tired and they all got up not too late.

"OK, all right."

"Ma'am, what would you like to eat for breakfast? I'll go get it for you."

"I don't have much appetite right now, so I'll just have a cup of soy milk."

Maybe she was too tired yesterday, so she really had no appetite when she woke up in the morning.

"Okay, ma'am, I'll go right away."

Lan Ying quickly went to the kitchen to get some soy milk.

Zhao Yuanzhen drank some soy milk and prepared to wash up.

Lan Ying helped her to comb her hair into a bun, which was to put all her hair up and then wrap it with a beautiful headscarf.

It's a bit like a modern big bun.

You can decorate it with some small hairpins.

Headscarf? Zhao Yuanzhen used a pearl headband, which looked simple and elegant, yet luxurious.

I chose a dark green pleated skirt, paired with a light green lining, and a green jacket.

The overall look is refreshing, bright, clean and neat.

The matching jewelry is a set of spring-colored jade ornaments.

"Ma'am, it's so beautiful!"

After all the decorations were completed, Lan Ying couldn't help but give compliments.

Because Zhao Yuanzhen drinks and bathes in high-quality spiritual spring water every day.

Her skin is white and tender, not at all like a woman in her forties.

The overall mental state is also very good.

The way she dresses up today, she looks like a mature woman with unique charm.

"Okay, let's go and wait for them in the main room."

We will serve tea over there later.

When Zhao Yuanzhen arrived, Qian Xiaohui and her husband and Li Zhijuan and her husband had also arrived.

It can be seen that both rooms have been carefully decorated.

Seeing these two daughters-in-law, Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly remembered that she had prepared a bridal chamber for them, but she didn't know whether they had used it!

Does she have any grandchildren?

Of course, she could only mutter about this in her heart and couldn't bring it up to ask.

Not long after we sat down, Zhang Xinshuo and Fan Qingqiu came over.

Both of them were wearing red casual clothes, which were also made by Zhang Qingyan and were made as a couple's style.

Zhang Xinshu wore a jade hair crown.

Fan Qingqiu wore the eighteen-piece ruby ​​headpiece that was part of Zhao Yuanzhen’s betrothal gift, and her hair was combed in a popular bun.

The ruby ​​headpiece brings a festive atmosphere.

Fan Qingqiu was originally fair and slender, and this outfit made her look even more delicate and frail.

Zhang Xinshu was overjoyed, and the emperor specially gave him ten days of vacation so that he could get married.

"Hello, mother, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, second brother, and second sister-in-law."

Fan Qingqiu entered the room and saw everyone starting to salute.

"Hello, brothers and sisters."

"Well, hello Qiu'er, we are family, no need to be polite, please sit down."

Zhang Xinshu took Fan Qingqiu and sat on the chairs.

Then the little maid came over with tea, which was to be served to them.

Fan Qingqiu, take a cup of tea.

"Mom, please have tea."

Holding the teacup in both hands, he walked in front of Zhao Yuanzhen. The maid had already prepared a mat. She knelt on the mat and handed it to him respectfully.

"Okay. Get up now."

Zhao Yuanzhen took the teacup, took a sip, and quickly helped the man up.

Fan Qingqiu's heart finally settled down.

Although she had known for a long time that her mother-in-law was not the type of daughter-in-law who liked to bully others, she was still a little worried. Now that the tea serving went smoothly, she finally felt at ease.

Then, he picked up the teacup and continued to serve tea to his eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, and second sister-in-law.

The few of them were not at all pretentious. They quickly took the tea and started drinking.

"Qiu'er, how are you? Are you used to being in the mansion?"

Zhao Yuanzhen asked.

"To answer my mother's question, it's my habit. Thank you for your concern."

"Just get used to it. There aren't so many rules at home. You can do whatever you want. You don't need to greet or be served every day. The same goes for your meals. You can eat in the restaurant or in your own yard. It's all up to you. Don't be too restrained."

"Yes, I understand, mother."

Zhang Xinshu had told her all this, but she always felt that Zhang Xinshu had exaggerated it.

Now it seems that it is true.

This mother-in-law is really open-minded.

"Qiu'er, don't be so rigid. My sister-in-law is an experienced person. My mother is easy to talk to and has no temper. You don't have to be afraid. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable in the mansion."

"Yes, you can tell from looking at me that I am used to being outspoken. There is no need to be restrained."

"Okay, thank you for your advice, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law."

Fan Qingqiu can't change for the time being.

Zhao Yuanzhen also knew that children from scholarly families were influenced by rules, so she didn't ask any more of her.

"Qiu'er, Xin Shu's courtyard had fewer servants because Xin Shu was the only one there. I wanted to prepare in advance, but then I thought about you getting married, so I thought about waiting for you to get married and then taking you to choose some."

Zhang Xinshu's courtyard used to have only half the number of people as the other courtyards. Now that he has started a family, there are obviously fewer people, so more need to be arranged.

"Thank you for your hard work, mother."
