Chang’an Peasant Girl

Chapter 2494 Return to Tianyun (60)

But as soon as Tao Chengyin saw Tao Mingye walking in, he asked Tao Mingye to sit down. All the concubines and concubines knew that Tao Chengyin let Tao Mingye sit because of his poor health. They all understood and envied Tao Mingye for always being so liked by his father, Tao Chengyin.

But Cao, Tao Minghai, and Wan Banyan felt different. They felt very uncomfortable that Tao Chengyin treated Tao Mingye, a bastard, so kindly.

As soon as Tao Mingye sat down, he pulled Su Xin to sit on the chair next to him. Su Xin sat down without any hesitation.

Tao Chengyin frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Cao, Tao Minghai, and Wan Banyan all wanted to say that this was inappropriate, but the patriarch Tao Chengyin didn't say anything, and it was hard for them to say anything.

Tao Minghai and Wan Banyan knelt on the futon and served tea to Tao Chengyin and Cao respectively.

Tao Minghai and Wan Banyan didn't get up until both Tao Chengyin and Cao gave them red envelopes and called out.

When she saw Wan Banyan standing up, Mrs. Cao said kindly to Wan Banyan: "Banyan, although you have been to this house several times before, you still don't quite recognize the person. Those are your Aunt Feng, That’s your Aunt Zhu, that’s your Aunt Fang.”

"Hello, aunt." For these concubines of Tao Chengyin, there was no need to kneel down, and he only gave a slight salute to these three aunts one by one.

Aunt Feng, Zhu and Fang all gave small red envelopes in a meaningful way. Wan Banyan was disgusted and didn't want any of them, but she didn't want to lose her etiquette, so she accepted them all pretending to be respectful.

Mrs. Cao then pointed at Tao Mingye and Su Xin and introduced, "Those are your eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Wan Banyan didn't even receive the courtesy from his peers, he just smiled and shouted: "Brother, sister-in-law."

Tao Chengyin frowned when he saw this.

Mr. Cao was also a little dissatisfied. This is the first day of marriage, even if you are trying to show off, you still have to show off. Seeing Tao Chengyin frowning, Ms. Cao even planned to give her daughter-in-law a lesson later. Tao Chengyin, the patriarch of the family, loved Tao Mingye very much. He couldn't treat Tao Mingye like this, otherwise he would make Tao Chengyin unhappy.

Su Xin and Tao Mingye saw that her peers did not bow to them even slightly, so they did not get up to return the courtesy. Instead, they remained seated and both smiled and called "sister-in-law", which was regarded as saying hello to Wan Banyan.

Wan Banyan was the daughter of Marquis Wan, and she had her eyes set high above her head. Seeing that Tao Mingye was a concubine, and Su Xin almost married her husband, she felt uncomfortable, and even refused to give Su Xin and Tao the gift of a commoner. Ming Yexing, who knew that Su Xin and Tao Mingye would not even stand up when facing her, the young lady from the Hou Mansion, which immediately made her very angry, but because Tao Chengyin was present, it was difficult to get angry.

"This is your third brother, fourth sister, fifth brother, and sixth sister." Cao endured her dissatisfaction and introduced the four concubines, Tao Mingsheng, Tao Mingxiang, Tao Mingqing, and Tao Mingfang, to Wan Banyan.

Wan Banyan exchanged greetings with the four people enthusiastically. Wan Banyan even took four small brocade boxes from the maid's hands, containing gifts, and gave one to each of them, "This is what my second sister-in-law gave you." Be careful, my second sister-in-law has just entered this house, so you all need to take care of her from now on."

All four of them felt that this was a hot potato, because there were only four copies, and their eldest brother and sister-in-law did not have any. It was clear that the second sister-in-law did not prepare any gifts for their eldest brother and sister-in-law, but the gift given by the second sister-in-law was the first gift given to them, which was not good. No, they can only accept it with a smile.
