Shen Nuo had already arrived at the side hall next door.
Cui Family wasn’t rich. They called it a side hall, but it was actually a place specially separated off the kitchen to use for eating.
Inside, there was a mahogany square table and a few mahogany benches.
There was also a mahogany carved cabinet near the corner of the wall.
Although the side hall was small, it was very clean and tidy.
These mahogany furniture were the dowry Shen Nuo brought over.
Although Shen Family wasn’t considered rich, the dowry given by Shen Family to their daughter was top-notch in Shuiyun Village. In addition to the complete set of furniture, clothes, bedding, and some gold and silver jewelry, there was also twenty liang silver in the box fund.
The dowry furniture was made of high-quality mahogany.
In Shen Family, Father Shen was the second child. He was a private school teacher.
Eldest Uncle Shen was a doctor. Third Uncle Shen was a craftsman.
These furniture were all made by Shen Family who went to the mountains to find mahogany and then crafted by Third Uncle Shen.
There was also a very ordinary ceramic vase on the top of the cabinet. A handful of little wild chrysanthemums were placed in the vase.
These were the flowers that Shen Nuo went to the mountains to pick yesterday when she found out Cui Luo Shu would be back today.
Shen Nuo glanced at the little wild chrysanthemums. Then she looked away, came to the dining table, and sat down.
Cui Family's breakfast today was very rich.
The round grain congee was made. It was fragrant, sweet, and soft with a thick layer of rice oil on top.
There were also meat buns and flower rolls made of white flour. The pork belly used for the meat buns was cut into cubes and stewed into soy paste diced meat. Nice and salty that the taste linger in the mouth.
Spreading it on the egg and green onion pancakes, it was even more delicious.
The side dish was a stack of soy-sauce beans and pickled courgette.
All of these were Shen Nuo's handicrafts. Even the side dishes were pickled by her.
Knowing that Cui Luo Shu would be back this morning, she got up early and busied away. Unforeseen, he brought back a beautiful, delicate wife.
After Shen Nuo sat down, she scooped herself a bowl of round grain congee and started eating without waiting for Cui Family.
In her previous life, she was fooled by Cui Family and allowed Mu Xiu Jiao to marry in. At that time, she was in a trance. How could she possibly have the appetite. WIthout eating a mouthful of congee, she excused herself, saying was unwell and went back to her room to cry.
Now, she didn't want to treat her body badly.
Cui Family followed into the side hall and saw Shen Nuo holding a bowl of round grain congee and ate with a lost soul.
Seeing that Shen Nuo had started to eat, Mother Cui was somewhat displeased. But seeing her being in despair, she thought she was truly heartbroken. If not, she wouldn't have even forgotten the rules.
While Mother Cui didn't speak, Cui Wen Lan immediately jumped out and angrily complained, "Elder Sister-in-law, did you forget propriety? The elders and us haven't sat down at the table yet and you already started eating? Why didn't you serve us the rice? To only care about yourself, truly selfish."
When Shen Nuo was at Cui's house, Mother Cui treated her very well on the surface. But she was a daughter-in-law after all. It was her responsibility to serve her parents-in-law and take care of her young siblings. Normally, she took on the cooking, washing clothes, and chores. Every meal, she put out the whole family's meals on the table first.
"I..." Shen Nuo seemed to be extremely sad from being scolded by Younger Sister-in-law. Even the corners of her eyes became redder. Her face was as embarrassed as a crabapple flower. The redness at the corners of her eyes made her even more charming.
Cui Wen Lan was so infuriated that she wanted to go up and scratch Shen Nuo's face.
Shen Nuo knew very well that in front of Mother Cui, she couldn't show any abnormality.
At least for now, she needed to take this opportunity to separate with Cui Luo Shu and leave Cui's house first.
This place was different from the Immortal Realm. This world, one cannot cultivate. She only had a mortal body now. That was why she couldn't act rashly.
Besides, Mother Cui was too shrewd and was attentive to detail. She couldn't leave Cui's house because of her previous dissatisfaction.
Otherwise, if Mother Cui notices something, she will start to target Shen Family as well.
In this life, she will not allow Mother Cui to hurt her family members in the slightest.
The opportunity to leave all relied on younger sister-in-law, Cui Wen Lan.
She knew Cui Family and Cui Wen Lan too well. Cui Wen Lan was stingy, greedy and selfish.
Since Cui Luo Shu got admitted into ranks, Cui Wen Lan looked down on her, the eldest sister-in-law even more. From time to time, she arrogantly mocked her as not worthy of her eldest brother.
As long as Cui Wen Lan was forced to get physical with her, they will completely fall out. She can take this opportunity to leave Cui's house and return to her maternal house.
Being told off by Cui Wen Lan, Shen Nuo got up with red eyes and seemed to be planning to serve everyone.
Seeing this, Mu Xiu Jiao hurriedly interjected: "Elder Sister is the master of the family after all. How can she do such a thing. Wen Lan don't blame Elder Sister. It's my bad. I made Elder Sister sad. Also, I brought my maidservant here. Just tell them to come in and serve. Elder Sister, please sit down and eat."
She needed Shen Nuo to approve of her marrying into the house as soon as possible. It went without saying she had to coax Cui Family's legitmate wife who had every thought written on her face.
She had already followed Luo Shu to Shuiyun Village. Everything must proceed without failure.
If Shen Nuo refuses to allow her to enter the house because of this, she will not only become a joke in Shuiyun Village, but also become the topic of discussion among the noble ladies in the capital all day long.
Only then, did Shen Nuo lower her head and sat back on her seat.
Mu Xiu Jiao went outside and called a maidservant to come in.
The servant girl's name was Xing-er. She was Mu Xiu Jiao’s personal maid. She had a round face with slight plumpness.
The woman was a powerful old woman. Her surname was Zhao. Mu Xiu Jiao called her Nanny Zhao.
Nanny Zhao was the wet nurse of Mu Xiu Jiao's mother. She watched Mu Xiu Jiao grow up. Worried that she would suffer from coming to this remote place, she came with her.
After the maid served the meal, everyone sat down and began to eat.
Cui Family originally had Father Cui and the youngest son of Cui Family. However, Father Cui took the youngest son to a relative's house for a wedding and it took a few days. They would probably return today.
Mu Xiu Jiao tasted the egg and green onion pancake clipped by Nanny Zhao. It turned out to be very good; a novel fragrant taste.
This village girl actually got such skills. When she marries into Cui Family, it will be great that this village girl cooks for Cui Family every day.
Mu Xiu Jiao ate the egg and green onion pancake as she stared at Shen Nuo's bright jade-like little face in contemplation. She took a second look, feeling a little jealous in her heart.
When she confessed her love to Cui Luo Shu, Cui Luo Shu told her that he already had a wife at home.
But she loved him and insisted on being with Cui Luo Shu. Cabinet Elder hoped that Cui Luo Shu could go back and divorce his wife to marry her. However, Cui Luo Shu still refused.
So Mu Xiu Jiao knew how much Cui Luo Shu liked Shen Nuo.
It happened that Shen Nuo was indeed born with a delicate and beautiful appearance.
Such an appearance was one of the best even in the capital. No wonder she was loved by men.
After thinking about it for a while, she still had to coax Shen Nuo into agreeing to her marrying in.
Mu Xiu Jiao suppressed the jealousy in her heart, took off the semi transparent white jade bracelet on her wrist and sent it toward Shen Nuo. She softly spoke: "Elder Sister, this is a top notch semi transparent white jade bracelet. Today is the first time I met Elder Sister. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare a gift for Elder Sister. Please don't blame me for being rude. Take this semi transparent white jade bracelet as a first meeting gift. In fact, I liked Elder Sister very much at first sight. I hope that Elder Sister will like me. I also hope that Elder Sister can approve of me and Darling Lang. Don't worry, Elder Sister. If I can be sisters with Elder Sister, I will serve Elder Sisters well in the future and share any good things with Elder Sister."
Her words were gentle and her smile was soft.
She held the white jade bracelet and held it over the dining table, waiting for Shen Nuo to take it.
Mu Xiu Jiao was still very confident. This jade bracelet of hers was perfectly creamy, shiny, and white. It was the legitimate top-grade semi transparent white jade; worth several hundred liang silver.
Even in such a poor and remote place, one should know the value of her semi transparent white jade.
As long as Shen Nuo was attracted to this semi transparent white jade bracelet and accepted this jade bracelet, it meant that she accepted her entry into Cui Family.
Money moves people's hearts, and no one can refuse its temptation.
Shen Nuo stared at the semi transparent white jade bracelet that Mu Xiu Jiao handed over. Her mind thought, wasn't this an opportunity to leave Cui Family?
