Cheng Wanwan saw the timidity in Mrs. Cheng's eyes.
She didn't expect that this tough old lady would be afraid sometimes.
She stood up with a smile: "Then let me change my clothes and go with you... Wait a minute, are all the gifts ready for the door?"
Old Mrs. Cheng nodded like garlic: "It's ready in the village, don't worry."
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
The gifts prepared by the village are probably old hens, eggs, mountain delicacies and dried vegetables...
However, she didn't say anything to stop him. The Situ family knew that the Cheng family was from a poor family. If they spent a lot of money to prepare generous gifts, it would make the Cheng family look like they were trying to please.
Since the Situ family has agreed to the marriage, the two families can interact on an equal footing.
Cheng Wanwan changed into a silk brocade dress and took Mrs. Qi and Ning Lan out. Cheng Jia was responsible for driving the car.
On the other side of the Cheng family, Brother Cheng was driving the carriage. The two elders of the Cheng family, Sister-in-law Cheng and Cheng Zhao, were both in the car. The two carriages drove towards the Situ Mansion one after the other.
Lord Situ has a fifth-rank official residence and is a fifth-rank minister of the Hanlin Academy. To a certain extent, Cheng Zhao can be regarded as someone to support. However, the relationship between his father-in-law and his son-in-law is quite sensitive. Even if Lord Situ intends to support him, he does not dare to do too much. Obviously, and a fifth-grade official can't actually do much.
The carriage arrived at Situ's Mansion very quickly, because Cheng Zhao had already sent someone to tell him, and a young boy greeted him at the door.
After the boy welcomed him in, there were maids and slaves on the road constantly curtsying and saluting. The Cheng family had never seen this formation before, and none of them dared to walk too fast, so they were a few steps behind Cheng Wanwan.
As soon as they walked through the second door, Mrs. Situ came out and said, "This is my mother-in-law..."
She directly took Cheng Wanwan's hand, her face full of affection.
She thought her mother-in-law was an older peasant woman, but she never thought she was so young and beautiful. No wonder Cheng Zhao was so handsome...
Sister-in-law Cheng: "..."
She knew that as long as Cheng Wanwan was around, nothing would happen to her.
She hurriedly squeezed over, licked her smile and said, "Mrs. Situ, I am Zhao'er's mother."
Mrs. Situ was extremely embarrassed: "I'm blind. I'm sorry, mother-in-law. It's my fault... Zhao'er, you really didn't introduce me quickly."
Cheng Wanwan sounded familiar with this tone. It seemed that Zhao'er had a good relationship with the Situ family.
Cheng Zhao was also very innocent. Before he could speak, his future mother-in-law grabbed the second aunt's hand. This scene developed so fast that it created this embarrassing situation.
He coughed and said, "Mrs. Situ, this is my grandpa, this is my grandma, this is my dad, this is my mother, and this is my second aunt."
He introduced someone, and Mrs. Situ nodded and said hello. When the road was winding, Mrs. Situ's eyes suddenly lit up: "It turns out that she is from Sui'an, Zhao'er, why didn't you tell me in advance that your second aunt is coming to the capital? , I might as well send someone to greet him early...this is from Sui'an!"
A female prostitute, and a peasant woman at that, did not rely on her husband or her son, but she became a sixth-rank imperial wife by herself, and she was a role model for other women.
Many people in their circle were jealous of the Sui'an people, but most of them admired them. Especially after the Longevity Festival, the reputation of the Sui'an people spread. It is said that even the Queen concubine praised them. Who wouldn't want to get up close and personal with such a talented woman? Woolen cloth.
Mrs. Situ held Cheng Wanwan's hand very affectionately and walked inside.
Sister-in-law Cheng was very angry and murmured in a low voice: "I don't want her to come here. She will be in the limelight as soon as she comes and appear to be versatile..."
"If you have the skills, you can earn a title on your own." Old Mrs. Cheng scolded angrily, "If you dare to blabber again, get out now."
The old lady now understands that she must support the second daughter. If the second daughter gives up her job, they will not be able to walk in the capital at all.
Even if we want to draw a clear line, we have to wait until Zhaoer has completely established himself.
This stupid woman wants to be in the limelight even though she has no ability. If one day she dares to do something outrageous, she will tell this stupid woman to go back to Chengjia Village.
Sister-in-law Cheng twitched the corners of her lips and did not dare to say anything else.
Cheng Zhao walked in front, clearly hearing the words of his grandma and mother-in-law. He pondered and followed Mrs. Situ's steps.
When the future in-laws came to visit, the Situ family gave them the highest courtesy. Mrs. Situ sat in a high position, Mr. Situ and Mrs. Situ sat on the left and right, and two young men in their twenties from the Situ family were also accompanying them. As for Miss Situ, because of the wedding date Soon, she was not allowed to come out to meet guests.
The servants served the best tea and various fruit snacks unique to the capital, and every table was filled with them.
Mrs. Cheng's saliva suddenly filled her mouth, and she raised her hand to stuff the snack into her mouth. However, she felt Mrs. Cheng's sharp gaze and had to retract her hand.
"Since the wedding date was agreed upon, our Cheng family members are not in the capital. It's really hard for you." Old Mrs. Cheng stood up and said, "We came to the capital this time and brought a lot of good things to the in-laws. Boss, please bring all the things." Bring it up."
They just carried their large and small bags into the flower hall and placed them at the door of the flower hall. Brother Cheng immediately went to carry the things in.
Opening the sacks one by one, there are hundreds of local eggs, dried venison, some rare mushrooms, cloth that is very popular in Ping'an County, and relatively precious brown sugar snacks...
After taking out a lot of things, Mrs. Situ's face was cracked and her expression was very ugly.
Master Situ is a man after all, so he didn't think it was a big deal. Mrs. Situ smiled and said, "Our master likes to eat wild game in the village. This thing comes at a good time for the kitchen to cook..."
Mrs. Situ said coldly: "The dried wild deer meat is moldy. You won't get upset after eating it..."
Sister-in-law Cheng quickly explained: "It's been raining recently, and it's normal for the meat to grow moldy. Just cut it off here, and it won't hurt your stomach..."
Mrs. Situ snorted coldly and said nothing.
Mrs. Situ quickly smoothed things over.
Cheng Wanwan saw that Master Situ admired Cheng Zhao very much, and Mrs. Situ, the mother-in-law, also liked this son-in-law very much. Only Mrs. Situ was not satisfied with the marriage.
However, the old lady is a generation removed from her, so even if she is dissatisfied with Cheng Zhao, it should not have any substantial impact on Cheng Zhao.
This topic was quickly dropped. Food was served in Situ's house, and men and women sat at separate tables.
Mrs. Situ has a cheerful personality, and with her lively atmosphere, the atmosphere at the dinner table is always good.
It was just that Sister-in-law Cheng had a sudden convulsion, so she put a piece of venison into the bottom of Mrs. Situ's bowl: "Old lady, this venison tastes really good. Everyone in our village likes to eat it. I dried a whole piece specially." The deer came all the way to the capital just to give the old lady a taste... I just used serving chopsticks, and there was absolutely no saliva on them. Let the old lady try it..."
Mrs. Situ was always in panic, and she couldn't calm down when she thought about the granddaughter she brought up by herself who was going to marry into a farm family.
She had tried her best to treat the Cheng family in a calm manner, but as a result, everyone in the village loved the Cheng family's food. Wasn't this a stab in the heart?
She threw away the chopsticks with a snap: "What good things can be from the countryside, and they are worthy of such a treasure."
