Xia Lu was in a daze when the old maidservant who served her came in and woke her up. "Grandma, grandma, it's time to get up. We're going to serve tea to Master and Madam later."
Xia Lu opened her eyes and felt dizzy. She remembered what happened yesterday. Well, it turned out that she was married to a Jia Zhen, a bastard. From last night, she knew that this bastard was as bad as what was written in the novel. But because her mother-in-law was still alive and the Jia Jing was not a monk, there was someone to take care of him. So, he was not as bad as what was written in the novel.
Xia Lu got up with the help of the old maidservant. When she saw that the old maidservant was about to call the Jia Zhen, Xia Lu said, "Husband broke his leg yesterday. Does he need to serve tea today?"
"Master and Madam said that the young master must serve tea with grandma today. Grandma, don't worry. There will be servants to carry the young master there. They won't hurt his leg. Grandma, don't worry." The old maidservant said.
"Oh, then be careful when you move. Don't hurt Husband." Xia Lu nodded and looked worried. She thought, "She is not worried. She just needs to take care of her image. This old maidservant is from a Jia family. If she said something bad about me in front of her mother-in-law, I will have no place to cry."
"Grandma, don't worry." The old maidservant nodded. Grandma is really a good person. She loves the young master very much. But the young master is a bastard. He can't let down such a good grandma. Fortunately, Madam is a reasonable person. If Madam is also a doting person, how can she live in the Jia family with such a gentle and kind grandma?
Xia Lu didn't know that she was a little white flower in the Jia family's eyes. But she would be happy to see it. After all, the Jia Zhen has a deep foundation in the Jia family. If she wants to defeat the Jia Zhen, she still has a long way to go. But she will not be afraid. In the past, as a senior makeup consultant, she dealt with a lot of difficult celebrities. Because they were flattered by others, their personalities were very bad. Now, she is just dealing with a Jia Zhen. She has countless ways to deal with it.
"Young master, young master, it's time to get up." The old maidservant said.
"Bastard, who called me?" The Jia Zhen was in a daze. He felt that his eyelids were very heavy. But there was a voice in his ear that kept buzzing, which made him very angry.
The old maidservant curled her lips. It is really outrageous. Grandma has such a good temper. It means that she met their young master. "Young master, young master, it's time to get up. You have to serve tea to Master and Madam." The old maidservant persisted.
"Nanny, why don't we just forget about it? My husband was tired yesterday, and he also suffered so much. It's fine for me to serve them tea alone." Xia Lu's voice was filled with worry, and she pretended to be magnanimous.
"Grandma, this is Master and Madam's order. You can just stand aside and watch." She didn't want to be blamed by the young master. She was different. She had been serving in the mansion for a long time. She also carried the orders of Master and Madam. Grandma was different. She had just married into the Jia family and was slandered by the young master last night. She didn't want to make the young master even more unhappy.
"Yes." Xia Lu stood aside obediently and waited for the old maidservant to wake the Jia Zhen up.
"Young master, young master." The old maidservant was a little impatient.
The Jia Zhen suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of anger. There was a kind of person in the world who had a bad temper when he got up, especially when he didn't sleep well. Sometimes, he would be depressed for a whole day.
The old maidservant was startled by the Jia Zhen. She thought to herself, "Fortunately, I didn't ask Grandma to call me just now. Otherwise, the young master would definitely bully Grandma again." "Young master, Master and Madam asked you to get up early today and serve tea with Grandma." The old maidservant cheered up. She wasn't afraid of the young master. She came here with the young master and Madam's orders.
"Can't you see that my leg is broken?" The Jia Zhen said angrily.
"So, Master sent a servant to carry you there," the old maidservant said.
The Jia Zhen was so angry that his whole body trembled. However, there was nothing he could do. Xia Lu's lips curled up slightly and then returned to normal. However, the Jia Zhen saw the upward curl of his lips. "Xia Clan, are you very proud?"
"No." Xia Lu looked wronged.
"You're obviously gloating." The Jia Zhen was irritable.
"Young master, there's not enough time. You'd better get up and wash up quickly. Master and Madam are still waiting for you." The old maidservant saw that the Jia Zhen was going to deal with Xia Lu again, so she quickly said. However, she was very clear about her identity. Even if she wanted to fight for Xia Lu, she could only urge the Jia Zhen to hurry up. She couldn't speak for Xia Lu. After all, the Jia Zhen was the master and she was the servant.
The Jia Zhen suppressed the anger in his heart and asked the maidservant to help him wash up and change his clothes. Then, the Jia Zhen was carried to the sedan chair by the servants and carried to Ning Xi Hall to serve tea to Jia Jing and Madam Jia He.
Originally, when Xia Lu served tea, the Jia Zhen had to accompany him. However, because the Jia Zhen's leg was injured, he naturally couldn't kneel. Thus, he could only let Xia Lu serve the tea alone. "Father-in-law, please have some tea." Xia Lu knelt in front of the Jia Jing and served him tea first.
"Okay, okay, okay." The Jia Jing took the tea from Xia Lu and happily took a sip. Then, he took out a thin piece of paper from his chest and said, "This is the title deed of a small Zhuangzi in the suburbs of the capital. The best thing is that there is a hot spring in this small Zhuangzi. Hot springs are excellent for women. If you have time, go and take a bath. This will be your dowry," the Jia Jing said.
Xia Lu was a little surprised. This gift was too expensive. She was about to reject it, but the Jia Jing said, "You can't refuse a gift from an elder. Accept it."
"Thank you, Father-in-law." Xia Lu accepted the title deed, then got up and walked to the front of the Jia family. She knelt down and served tea to Madam Jia He.
The Jia family took the tea and took a sip. After putting down the teacup, she took the head ornaments that the Mama Gui behind her had been holding for a long time and handed them to Xia Lu. "These two head ornaments are excellent. Accept them. Since you are married, you will be the mistress of our Ningguo Province in the future. Therefore, you and Zheng 'er's Sakura Temple will be managed by you. Also, when you have time every day, come to me and learn how to manage the entire Ningguo Province. In the future, this mansion will be handed over to you and Zheng' er. Take advantage of the current situation and learn more, so that you won't be in a mess when you are in charge of the family in the future."
Xia Lu was surprised. Her mother-in-law said that she was delegating power to her, but she seemed to have just married into the family. Xia Lu took back her thoughts and said, "Thank you, Mother-in-law."
"Well, get up, good girl." The more the Jia family looked at Xia Lu, the more satisfied she was. The Jia Zhen's servant had already told her about what happened this morning. Zheng 'er was getting more and more outrageous. As elders, they did not teach Zheng' er well. They were indeed guilty, so they could only make up for it with some material things.
The Jia Zhen, who was standing aside and watching, was so jealous that his eyes turned red. He did not care about the matter of the housekeeper. After all, the woman was in charge of the house. In the future, the mansion would be managed by the Xia Clan. He did not care whether it was early or late. However, the Old Master gave a Zhuangzi to the Xia Clan. He did not have any property, but the Old Master gave a little Zhuangzi to the Xia Clan. But he did not have one yet. The Xia Clan was the real daughter of the Old Master and Madam. He was the one who was adopted.
"Let's meet the other people in Ningguo Province. That is Lin'Er and his wife. Lin'Er's father and the Old Master were brothers born from the same mother. Unfortunately, Old Master Xian was not in good health, so he left Lin'Er as his posthumous son. You can call him Younger Brother Lin." Mrs. Jia pointed to the Jia Lin couple. In Ningguo Province, only the Old Master and his late brother, Jia Fu, should have inherited Ningguo Province. However, he was not in good health. His wife was pregnant for four months, but a cold killed him. His wife was not lucky either. She had a difficult labor and died, leaving the Jia Fu behind. Ning Guogong was afraid that he would not be able to support him. Fortunately, he survived and married a wife.
"Yes." Xia Lu went to Jia Lin's father and saluted. "Younger Brother Lin, Younger Brother Lin's wife."
"Sister-in-law." Jia Lin and his wife saluted to Xia Lu.
Xia Lu took out the desserts that she had prepared and handed them to Jia Lin and his wife. She said, "My needlework is not good, so I can only use desserts as a substitute." Xia Lu was helpless. During this time, she had been learning embroidery from her mother. As expected, talent was not something that could be achieved by hard work. In the end, her mother gave up and asked Xia Lu to make desserts as a substitute for needlework to show her virtuousness.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law." The two accepted the desserts. When they opened the lid, they found that they were not the desserts that they usually ate. Jia Lin could not help but take out a piece and put it in his mouth to taste. His eyes immediately lit up.
"It's delicious. Sister-in-law's cooking is really good," Jia Lin said.
Seeing that her husband liked the desserts, Jia Liushi also took a piece and put it in her mouth to taste. Her eyes also lit up. This kind of desserts were soft and sticky. They were sweeter than ordinary desserts, but they were not as sweet.
Xia Lu said that these were just cakes without cream. Because there was no cream, the cakes could be stored for a longer time. After all, she had transmigrated here. No matter what, she had to bring some personal goods. Fortunately, milk was not difficult for her to find. Xia family lived in the northwest frontier fortress before, so it was easy for them to raise a cow.
Jia Zhen looked at the desserts in Jia Lin and his wife's hands and felt a little tempted. They did seem to be very fragrant.
"I've also prepared some for father-in-law and mother-in-law. Father-In-Law and mother-in-law should also try it. This dessert is made with milk. It's not the same as what you usually eat." The maid next to Xia Lu took out another food box and handed it to the servant next to Jia He.
Jia He and Jia Jing both took a piece and tasted it. They both felt that it was really good. Jia He was proud. Sure enough, Xia family was a virtuous family. Zheng 'er would be lucky in the future.
"Zheng 'er, you should also try your wife's cooking." After Jia He finished speaking, she wanted Mama Gui to take the cake and hand it to Jia Zhen.
"I have another box in my room. I'll give it to my Husband. This box is for you because the desserts look quite big. In fact, there are only a few pieces. Please enjoy them yourself," Xia Lu said obediently.
"Hmph, I don't care." Jia Zhen rolled her eyes, but she could not help it when she smelled the milky fragrance of the cake.
After Jia Zhen finished speaking, Xia Lu looked aggrieved.
Jia Zhen glared at Jia Zhen and said softly, "The madams of Xi Province are old. They like soft desserts like these the most. Have you prepared any for Xi Province?" Jia Zhen asked.
"Yes, Duke Rongguo and Duke Rongguo's wife. The first branch and the second branch have also prepared some for them," Xia Lu said obediently.
"That's good. After breakfast, let's go to Xi Province to meet them," Jia He said.
