Chapter 495 Tea Serving

The other person's body stiffened for a moment, and his voice became a little hoarse, "Sister Hua, don't... don't move, I can't help it."

Her already soft waist twisted mischievously in his arms. Rong Jin took a deep breath and suppressed the heat in his body.

He pressed his hands tightly around her twisting waist, half coaxing and half threatening her, "Be good, don't move. If you move again, I might do something to you again. Then, let alone serving tea, we probably won't even be able to have lunch."

Sure enough, the softness in his arms was quiet and dared not move anymore. Rong Jin continued to help massage Hua Lei's waist.

"No, let's get up." After a while, Hua Lei sat up directly. She didn't want to tell him that she was hugged tightly in the masculine arms, and his kneading had unknowingly ignited her, and she would not be able to resist throwing herself on him.

By the time the two of them were dressed and arrived at Songhe Hall together, all the elders had been sitting there drinking tea for half an hour.

Seeing Rong Jin coming in with Hualei, Lord Pei and Madam Pei, who were sitting at the top, were already smiling. Well, that's great, so pleasing to the eyes, they finally got their long-cherished granddaughter-in-law married, they are really a perfect match.

Old Marquis Pei was already impatiently picking up the wooden box at hand. This was a gift he had prepared for his grandson's wife a long time ago. Inside was a generous amount of silver notes worth 18,000 taels, and he was just waiting for his grandson's wife's cup of tea.

Pei Jingyang, who was sitting in the upper right seat, looked at his father speechlessly, then glared at his son fiercely with disgust.

My father always said that he was an eccentric person, but he didn't expect that his grandson was even more eccentric. He came so late to serve tea, leaving all the elders sitting here waiting. It was really rude.

The key point is that his grandson is not acting right. As a grandfather, he not only doesn't scold him, but also laughs like a fool. Pei Jingyang can't stand it anymore, so he turns his eyes away.

"Grandfather, please have some tea." Hua Lei knelt on the ground and began to serve tea respectfully.

"Okay, okay, let's have some tea." Old Marquis Pei took the teacup from Hua Lei's hand with a smile and took a sip.

"I am so happy today. I got to drink the tea offered by my granddaughter-in-law. I have been waiting for this cup of tea for so long that my neck has become so long."

As Lord Pei spoke, he stuffed the wooden box into Hualei's hand and said, "Take it. It's a good thing. Grandfather has prepared it for you a long time ago."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Hua Lei thanked him and took the wooden box and handed it to the girl behind her.

Madam Pei also drank Hualei's tea with a smile on her face, and generously gave Hualei two sets of head ornaments, one set of jadeite and one set of mutton-fat jade. The heavy weight almost made Hualei unable to hold it.

Pei Jingyang didn't like his son, but he was very satisfied with his eldest daughter-in-law. Not only was his daughter-in-law very beautiful, she was also very smart and capable, and she was good at everything.

He happily drank the tea Hualei offered him, and generously gave Hualei a stack of silver notes. Afterwards, Hualei carefully counted them and found that they were 16,000 taels. Hualei felt that it was worth it to exchange 16,000 taels of silver notes for just one "father".

"Mother, please have some tea." Hua Lei raised the teacup in front of Madam Han.

"Okay." The cold Madam Han took the tea, took a sip, and handed a jewelry box on the table to Hua Lei.

A red agate jade bracelet of fairly good quality would be a very good gift for an ordinary family.

However, in the Marquis' Mansion, compared with the lavish spending of the previous three, this jade bracelet worth one thousand taels of silver was not impressive enough, and was even inferior to the ruby ​​headdress she gave to Hua Lei last time.

"Thank you, mother." Hua Lei took the jewelry box with a smile and handed it to the girl behind her. Rong Jin glanced at the box and pursed his lips.

Pei Jingyang sighed secretly in his heart, while Old Marquis Pei curled his lips in disdain.

Next, it was the aunts and uncles of the Marquis's Mansion. Because Gu, Ruan and Hua Lei were all good friends, and it was Hua Lei who helped them buy the barren hills for themselves, the gifts they gave were quite generous.

The side branches of the Marquis's Mansion also followed the rules and gave Hua Lei a similar gift. When Hua Lei finished serving tea, the trays of the two maids behind her were already full.

Of course, Hua Lei was also generous to the brothers and sisters in the Marquis' Mansion who were younger than Rong Jin, giving each of them two silver ingots of ten taels. For the children of the side branches, she gave each of them a silver ingot of ten taels.

In addition, each brother and sister was given a can of candy, which made the little children secretly happy. The silver might be taken away by the mother, but the candy would not.

"Lei'er, you must be tired. Go back quickly and come back here in the evening so we can have a reunion dinner together." Mrs. Pei said considerately after seeing Hua Lei finish serving tea and sit for a while.

"Yes, grandma, we'll go back first." Hua Lei wanted to politely refuse, but Rong Jin had already stood up and spoke for Hua Lei.

So, he also stood up, smiled and said goodbye to everyone, and followed Rong Jin out of Songhe Hall. The red silk gauze in the yard had not been removed yet, and it was still bright red.

Rong Jin held Hua Lei's hand and slowly returned to Qixia Courtyard. Qixia Courtyard had been expanded and was twice as big as before. Hua Lei hadn't looked at it carefully since she came in with her head covered yesterday.

Although, before the renovation, Rong Jin took the renovation plan to Hua's house to seek her opinion, Hua Lei did not come after the renovation.

"Sister Hua, are you hungry? Let's go have breakfast first, and then I'll take you to visit the garden slowly, okay?" Rong Jin asked softly.

Because she got up late and didn't want to keep the elders waiting, Hua Lei just ate two steamed buns, and Rong Jin didn't eat much. After a round, she was indeed hungry again.

"Yeah, okay." Hua Lei nodded gently.

In the room, the maid was already preparing breakfast. Hualei had left the two maids, Qingying and Qinglian, at the Hua residence and had not brought them with her.

Qingying needed to rest because she was pregnant. Qinglian got married a year ago and her husband was a guard at the Hua residence, so it was not convenient for Qinglian to come.

Therefore, the two girls who followed Hualei were the two girls she bought from the pawnshop, Qinghong and Qinglu. They had been with Hualei for several years.

At this time, Hualei's favorite breakfast was already on the table. The exquisite crab roe soup dumplings were still steaming, and a plate of wontons with finely chopped egg skin and green onions was also steaming.

There were also lily and lotus seed soup, shredded chicken and shrimp porridge, longan and red date rolls, Ruyi peanut cake, pearl jade white jade soup... the table was filled with them.
