Chapter 375: Harmony between husband and wife
"Master, my father-in-law, the banquet has been arranged in the main hall, let's go together."
Mrs. Liu walked in from the door, accompanied by the still charming Mrs. Qi.
"My son-in-law has met my mother-in-law. She is fine."
"No need to be polite. I haven't seen you for ten months. I have lost a lot of weight. I must have endured hardship these days."
Mrs. Qi smiled lightly and took up Young Master Liu.
Young Master Liu couldn't help but caressed his belly, and gave a helpless smile, "You're so thin that your elders will think you've lost weight."
"It's okay, okay, Yun'er has been doing some cooking for my son-in-law. He may have grown a lot stronger, but he looks a little thinner."
Liu Zhi'an put down the tea cup and stood up: "My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, let's move here. When you arrive at home, it will be like your own home. It is not easy for the whole family to have a happy reunion. This banquet should be regarded as Zhi'er's blessing for you two elders. .”
"Old man, my father-in-law invites you"
The main hall of the Liu family is rarely used. Basically, it is used by distinguished guests. They usually eat in the living room. Qi Run is the second person to use the main hall of the Liu family to dine. The first one was when Emperor Li Zheng arrived. But it was just a cup of tea.
Young Master Liu had always scorned these red tapes, but he had to abide by them. The reunion dinner is one of the few times in ancient times that women can serve it in the presence of guests.
Therefore, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi did not leave, and they all sat down in order of priority.
Young Master Liu looked at the vacant seat of honor and was a little stunned. You don't have to follow the rules like this. For Young Master Liu, you can be comfortable at home. Isn't it tiring to follow so many rules?
There was no way around it. Although Liu Zhi'an was Liu's father, Liu had already started a family and had the qualifications to open a mansion. In addition, Liu was personally conferred a noble title by the emperor, so it could be said that he had opened a new mansion.
According to the rules, Liu Zhi'an and Qi Run are both guests in the main hall, and the person in charge is none other than Young Master Liu. Seniors and juniors are arranged in an orderly manner, and there are distinctions between seniority and inferiority. It is etiquette for guests to follow the host.
China has been a land of etiquette since ancient times, and we must abide by the rules and etiquette when doing things.
Of course, there is an exception, except when the emperor comes. If you try to let the emperor sit on the second throne, you will be killed tomorrow on the charge of disrespect.
"What are you doing standing still? You haven't sat down yet." Liu Zhi'an knew that his son had never paid attention to this for him at home, but now it was a formal banquet, and the seating must be like this. If Mr. Liu did not get married, it would be a different matter. At that time, we should pay attention to the order of elders and younger ones.
"All right"
Sitting on pins and needles is the truest portrayal of Young Master Liu's heart at this moment. There is no way, the feeling of being put between the old man and his father-in-law is indeed not very pleasant.
"My little girl Qi Yun pays homage to her father and mother."
"Qi Ya pays homage to her father, mother, uncle, and aunt."
"My little boy, Liu Ming, is going to meet his father, mother, uncles and aunts."
"Xuan'er has met her father, mother, uncles and aunts."
"My little girl Yun Qingshi pays homage to her father, mother, uncles and aunts."
Qi Run and Mrs. Qi looked at each other. They had known about Yun Qingshi for a long time. Although they were not too surprised, they were still a little awkward. It would be unworthy of a woman if a daughter did not give her husband a concubine when she was thirty years old, but now My daughter barely managed to have a concubine even though her son-in-law was twenty years old, and she always felt weird.
Sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, Liu Zhi'an cleared his throat: "Don't be too polite. Today is a family banquet. There are not so many rules. Everyone, please take your seats."
Everyone quietly sat in their own seats.
Seeing the strange look Qi Ya gave him, Young Master Liu looked around and said, "What about that, old man, father-in-law? I suddenly remembered that there are some official matters that have not been handled. How about you eat first? I will come with you after I finish the official matters." You guys have a good drink, it won’t take long.”
Qi Run nodded unknowingly: "It's okay, I have laws and regulations, and those who slack off in official duties will be severely punished. You should be busy first."
Mrs. Qi also nodded lightly: "Mingzhi, it's enough to have your in-laws to accompany you. You'd better deal with official duties first." Her husband works in the yamen. Mrs. Qi understands this kind of thing quite well. Sometimes Qi Run can't even take a bite of rice and has to go there immediately. The Yamen handles official business.
"Sit down, I'm here. It's almost been a month since I started practicing Mu. What are you busy with?" Liu Zhi'an broke Young Master Liu's smile.
Qi Run was stunned and realized, yes, during the Spring Festival of Dalong Dynasty, there is a month of bathing time. What official duties are there to be busy with? Besides, you are a noble and not an official. What do you have to do?
"These are some things assigned by the Protector of the Country. No matter how busy you are in the future, it's not too late. Let's eat first."
You are cheating your son. Young Master Liu felt sour. He picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for the old man and his father-in-law. Qi Liang could just pour it himself.
"Today is a rare good day. I would like to have a drink with my father and my father-in-law. Let's do it first as a token of respect."
"Dry."
"Dry."
At the beginning, the atmosphere at the wine table gradually became lively. Liu Zhi'an and Qi Run, two in-laws, frequently exchanged glasses and drank openly.
Most of the chat content was related to the child in Qi Yun's belly, and Liu Mingzhi and Qi Liang also drank with her from time to time.
Uh-huh, Young Master Liu groaned, almost spitting out the drink in his mouth, and was kicked hard on the instep.
"Zhi'er, what's wrong?" Mrs. Liu looked a little surprised at Young Master Liu's depressed expression.
"Mom, it's okay. I drank too much and choked."
"Drink slowly, there is plenty of wine, why are you in a hurry."
"yes."
Young Master Liu looked up. Who would kick him under the dining table? After thinking about it, it was only Qi Ya. However, Qi Ya chewed the food slowly and put it into her mouth. There was nothing weird at all. Could it be that she had guessed wrong? Got it
Could it be that when Qi Yun raised her eyes, Qi Yun noticed her husband's gaze. Seeing his eyes staring closely at her, she thought he was looking at her because the two elders were talking about the fetus in her belly.
She rolled her eyes gently at her husband and started eating her meal with a soft smile.
Hehe, you are really a good girl. Is this an initiative to seek peace? Young Master Liu felt proud.
Humph, Young Master Liu felt another pain in his instep, and immediately looked at Qi Yun, asking with his eyes, Madam, why are you still kicking?
Qi Yun rolled her eyes and turned her head to the side.
Hey, you're such a clever little guy.
The two of them only focused on their own expressions, and did not notice that several elders were snickering from time to time. However, their expressions were quite satisfied. The husband and wife were harmonious, which was what the elders were most happy to see.
Young Master Liu gently moved his chair back a little, looking towards the bottom of the table covered with tablecloth to prevent Qi Yun from kicking him again.
"Old man, father-in-law, dear brother, let's have a drink."
Liu Dashan saw Qi Yun's embarrassed expression and laughed softly.
Feeling the strange looks in the eyes of the elders on both sides, Qi Yun's face turned even redder.
