Chapter 573 A tea ceremony with twists and turns

Early the next morning.

When Pei Hao woke up, he instinctively touched his side.

Empty?

Where is his little wife?

Pei Hao suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and looked around.

There was no sign of the little **** the bed. Soon, he stared at the other half of the bed in a daze. There was no sign that anyone had slept on it.

Are you awake? the little girls voice sounded from behind.

Pei Hao turned around and looked.

The little girl stood behind her, half a foot away from the bed.

She was holding chopsticks in one hand and a large bowl in the other, slurping noodles.

Pei Hao was in a very complicated mood, "Wanwan, where did you sleep last night?"

"Now, there." Du Wan raised her chin and looked at the small couch next to the screen. Then she looked back and reminded, "You'd better get up quickly. We have to serve tea this morning and have breakfast together. Now Everyone is waiting for you."

Pei Hao looked up and looked out the window with a dark look on his face.

It's white and sunny.

What time is this?

Pei Hao stroked his forehead and felt a headache, "Why didn't you call me?"

"You were so asleep that you couldn't wake up even if you yelled." Du Wan looked innocent and continued to eat noodles, "Look, I waited for you until you got hungry and snatched all Ningqin's noodles. ."

Pei Haos mouth twitched.

Honestly, are these noodles meant to steal the maid?

Pei Hao got up and dressed neatly, then walked to the side room to wash up.

He sat in front of the dressing table, picked up the comb and combed his hair. She doesn't need servants to serve her, she just keeps herself neat and tidy, and even her dressing taste is excellent.

Du Wan ate the noodles, and her squeaking voice became softer unconsciously.

His manual skills are really awesome, they can't be compared.

She could only look at him with envy.

Pei Hao stood in front of her, grabbed half of the noodles she had left, and ate them in a hurry, even the noodle soup, and then put the empty bowl into her hand, "Wanwan, I'm a little angry.

"You're going to steal my food when you're angry?" Du Wan scorned.

Pei Hao put his hands behind his back and looked at her steadily.

Du Wan compromised and put the empty bowl on the table, "Tell me, why are you angry?"

Why did you sleep on the low couch last night?

"You smelled like alcohol last night. Didn't you feel that it smelled so strong?" Du Wan was not polite at all, and she expressed her dislike in a carefree manner.

Pei Hao was speechless for a moment, then turned around and went to the side room.

When he came out again, he felt refreshed and changed his clothes. It was obvious that he had just taken a shower. When he walked out, he didn't see Du Wan inside.

He walked into the hall outside and saw Du Wan.

He was crossing his legs, eating melon seeds and chatting with the maids. Seeing her looking so relaxed, why was he so angry?

As soon as Du Wan saw him coming out, he stood up immediately and asked with a smile, "Are you out? Should you go to the main courtyard now, or should you eat something first and then go?"

"Go now." Pei Hao could imagine how bad his mother's face would be.

Du Wan didnt care at all.

It wasnt her intention, it was just that she didnt have the awareness.

Couples in modern times get married much more casually, and it is common for newlyweds to sleep until noon on the second day after their wedding. When the two of them went to the main courtyard, they saw only Duke Zhen and Pei Huiyu in the hall, but not Mrs. Pei.

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said: "Your mother is not feeling well. She said she suddenly felt dizzy. There is no need to wait for her to serve tea today." Pei Hao's face darkened and he turned to look at the little girl.

The little girl smiled lightly, her expression remained the same, as if she didn't take Mrs. Pei's matter to heart.

Pei Hao did not expect that his mother would suddenly become angry today.

If you dont show up at this time, what will it be in the eyes of outsiders? Don't you want to recognize the princess as your daughter-in-law?

Isnt that what it means to not drink your wifes tea?

Pei Hao looked at Duke Zhen apologetically, "Father, I got up late, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's just that your mother is not very happy. You can go and talk to her later." When the Duke of Zhen looked at Du Wan, his eyes were apologetic, "It's just that I have to wrong the princess today."

Its nothing, its nothing. Du Wan doesnt mind, I really dont mind.

The Duke of Zhenguo felt slightly different.

not angry? Weird!

He motioned to his servants to bring tea.

Pei Huiyu, who was sitting next to him, had a cold face and no smile at all. There was no attack on the spot, probably because the Duke of the country was present to calm him down.

The Duke of Zhen was sitting at the head of the table, and his servants placed two futons in front of him.

Pei Hao lifted up the hem of his clothes with one hand and knelt down first.

He looked at Du Wan who was standing again, his eyes beckoning her to follow. Du Wan hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly knelt down. The moment she knelt down, the corners of the mouth of Duke Zhen Guo, who was in the first position, slightly raised.

Although it is to serve tea to the elders.

However, if Du Wan didn't want to kneel, no one could force her.

Pei Hao picked up a tea bowl with both hands and handed it to the Duke of Zhen.

The Duke of Zhenguo took it with a smile, took a sip, put down the tea bowl, patiently encouraged him a few words, and then gave Pei Hao a big red envelope.

It's Du Wan's turn.

Du Wan followed Pei Hao's approach and served tea to the Duke of Zhen, "Father, please drink tea."

Okay, okay, okay! The Duke of Zhens smile grew thicker, and he took a big sip. Not only did he give a big red envelope to Du Wan, but he also gave him an heirloom jade pendant.

Du Wan's heart skipped a beat when she looked at the familiar Bianhua flower on the jade pendant.

After hesitating for a moment, she took the jade token.

Pei Huiyu stood up suddenly, her face ashen, "Father, isn't that jade pendant inherited from the family supposed to be given to me?"

"You are overthinking. Even your mother is not qualified to own it. Do you know the reason?" Zhen Guogong looked at his daughter calmly, "Because this jade pendant can only be passed on to the eldest daughter-in-law, and her surname must be Du. Eldest daughter-in-law."

I dont believe it! My mother said that if you pass on a daughter rather than a son, she will be the one who gets the best of me in the future.

"Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter." The Duke of Zhen gave her a cold look.

Pei Huiyu felt aggrieved and shed tears. She couldn't sit still anymore. She got up and ran out angrily.

Her good tea, becoming this way, I am afraid that I will be wronged when I change my daughter -in -law.

"Haha, they were originally a couple." Duke Zhen Guo asked them to get up, sat next to them, and then talked about the origin of the Pei family and the Du family, "The direct line of the Du family and the direct line of the Pei family will intermarry once every hundred years. This represents The jade pendant of the direct line of the Du family was brought into the Pei family by an ancestor."

Du Wan suddenly realized, "So that's it."

"Well, our ancestors have made a rule that this jade pendant can only be passed on to the Du family's daughter-in-law." Generations of direct descendants of the Pei family have followed the instructions of their ancestors. Of course, there are reasons why they have to do this.

Intermarriage once every hundred years has been an agreement between the Du and Pei clans that lasted for thousands of years.

This is how the two younger generations of the two families came to be.
