Chapter 10 Meet Your In-laws (Part 2)
Qiao Songyu was very satisfied with the breakfast—duck congee and creamy puff pastry rolls, as well as an unnamed dim sum, which was wrapped in hawthorn puree and covered with a layer of soft, oily soft cake.It was an appetizer before breakfast, Qiao Songyu ate four in a row, Pei Rongbai looked at him a few times, and finally said in a manly voice:
"It's not a lot to eat."
Qiao Songyu thought: Hmph, could it be that this thing is very expensive?The majestic prime minister's mansion is not allowed to eat the fifth one, how stingy!
If you don't eat it, don't eat it. I don't care about eating you, a thief!
Then he discovered that the duck congee and crispy rolls are also very delicious. His family is considered a wealthy family and has eaten a lot of good things, but for some reason, the duck porridge and buttery crispy rolls in the prime minister's mansion are better than his.The ones he had eaten before were more delicious. Qiao Songyu thought about it, and guessed that the thief probably got greedy for silver, and then used the best materials to make these things, so they were particularly delicious.
Alas, he is actually eating something made from the people's fat and people's ointment that this dog thief scavenged!
While Qiao Songyu was very guilty, she couldn't control herself at all, and secretly ate several rolls.
If people like me eat a little, it will be considered as a reward for everyone, um, eat a few more, he comforted himself like this.
After breakfast, Qiao Songyu was forced to go with Pei Rongbai to visit the "in-laws" at the Duke of Zhen's mansion. Qiao Songyu had never met Pei Zhi, the Duke of Zhen, so he heard from his father that the Duke of Zhen was ups and downs in the court.For dozens of years, everyone in the court was a bit jealous. His wife Pei Li was the youngest daughter of the previous prime minister Li Deren, and he didn't know anything else.
But thinking about being able to achieve the position of the Duke of Zhen and give birth to a son like Pei Rongbai, Pei Zhi must not be a cheap lamp, including his wife Pei Li.So Qiao Songyu was very nervous all the way, fortunately Pei Rongbai was riding in front, and he was sitting in the carriage behind, Pei Rongbai had no idea whether he was nervous or not.
"Ma'am, we are here, please come down."
Hearing Xiaoman's voice outside, Qiao Songyu raised the curtain, and saw Pei Rongbai standing with hands behind his back, waiting for him to get off the carriage.Pei Rongbai was already tall and straight like a pine tree, but today he was wearing a brocade jacket with dark brown background and dark gold patterns, which made his appearance even more imposing, making his handsome face look deep and wise.
Qiao Songyu only glanced at it, and then immediately looked away—how angry, this bastard is so good-looking, God really hates it!
"Madam, come down. If you don't come down all the time, could it be that you want to come down for your husband?" Pei Rongbai looked at him with a smile on his lips.
"Hmph, who wants you to hug me..." You bastard!While talking, Qiao Songyu quickly stepped down on the small ladder by herself.
"Let's go." Pei Rongbai glanced at him with a smile, turned around and entered the Zhen Guogong's mansion.
Qiao Songyu sized it up as he walked. This Zhen Guogong's mansion was a bit inferior to the prime minister's mansion, but it was also very simple and spacious. Compared with the high-profile prime minister's mansion, it was a little plain, but it was also more grand than many mansions.
The two of them bypassed the screen wall and walked all the way in. The Zhen Guo Gong Mansion naturally knew that Pei Rongbai and Qiao Songyu would come early this morning, so everything was arranged, and the servants knelt on both sides of the road to salute. The scene was very spectacular.
Qiao Songyu was shocked in her heart, she felt like she was pretending to be a tiger, and she felt a little guilty, and felt that Pei Rongbai's thief and his father were too domineering, and she couldn't help but sneered in her heart.
Before the two of them arrived, they saw a group of people standing at the entrance of the main hall, the leaders were two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, probably Pei Rongbai's parents.Before Qiao Songyu took a closer look, she saw a plump, luxuriously dressed lady walking up with a bright smile and saying:
"Oh my heart and soul, you are finally here, come, let mother take a good look at it!"
As she said that, Qiao Songyu saw her walking towards him, looking excited, as if she was going to hug her in her arms.
Qiao Songyu:????
Is there something wrong with this scene???
