Chapter 223 The Gu family’s decision!

Qin Zhizhi talked about this while having dinner at the Gu family.

Gu Yunlang was the first one to insist on going, and Gu Jingshu and Gu Jingyao also wanted to go back with him.

When Mrs. Gu heard that the children all wanted to go, she naturally agreed and said with a smile.

"You all go, Second Brother, you should come with us this time. The people of Qinjia Village have taken good care of Jing Huai and his mother and son during your absence."

"Now that our Jinghuai has passed the imperial examination and become the top scholar, you should all go back and thank the villagers. If mother weren't so old, she would definitely go with you."

Mrs. Ning Gu knew that her second daughter-in-law had had a hard time over the years, so she specially asked her son to go back with her.

It was to let everyone see that her husband was not a heartless man. He was just sick before and did not abandon them.

"Mother, I originally planned to go back with Madam to take a look."

Gu Shi had wanted to go back for a long time, but it was due to health reasons before. Now that he is well, he can finally go back with his wife and children.

"You're right to think so." The old lady nodded in agreement with her second son.

"Sister-in-law, can I go too?" Gu Yunfei also wanted to go along.

"The Qin and Gu families are going to hold a banquet together this time, and I'd be delighted if you could help."

Of course Qin Zhizhi wanted to take Gu Yunfei with him. He didn't want his elder brother to be in Qinjia Village while thinking about Gu Yunfei in Beijing.

"Mom, can I go?"

Hearing Qin Zhizhi's agreement, Gu Yunfei happily turned around and asked the eldest princess.

The princess smiled and said, "Go ahead if you want to. Your uncle, the emperor, has already granted you and Qingyuan a marriage. There's no need to worry about so much."

The eldest princess was very supportive of her daughter. If all the children were gone and her daughter was left alone, she would obviously feel lost.

Besides, she trusts the Qin family very much, and the two of them are already engaged, so it makes sense.

"Thank you, mother!" Gu Yunfei smiled happily when she heard her mother supported her to go.

"Your Highness, may I go too?"

Gu Ting, who loves to join in the fun, also wanted to go, but before the princess could even say anything, he was rejected by the old lady.

"I am here to serve you and share your worries. You should stay in the capital. The Ministry of Revenue has so many things going on. What will happen if you run away?"

When the others heard what the old lady said, they all tried to hold back their laughter, and the eldest princess also lowered her head and tried to hold back her laughter.

No wonder the emperor respects his mother-in-law so much. Now she is here to help. If you want to go out and play, just dream on. Just stay in the capital and work hard.

"Mom, it's only a few days away." Gu Ting still had some hope.

"Your wife and I are still in the capital. As the eldest son, you should stay and take care of mother and the princess. Alas, I am old and not well-liked anymore."

The old lady spoke so fast that Gu Ting almost couldn't keep up.

"Mother, what are you talking about? I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying in the capital to accompany you and the princess."

Seeing that she had successfully tricked her son, the old lady stopped pretending to be sad.

Gu Shi, who didn't know how to read people's expressions, suddenly said, "Mom, if you can't bear to leave us, I will stay in the capital to accompany you."

The old lady suddenly felt a headache and pretended not to hear and continued eating.

Gu Shi thought his mother didn't hear him, so he said it again.

"Shut up, don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping." The old lady didn't want to talk to her stupid son, so she told him to shut up, fearing that he would say something again and ruin everyone's plan to go out.

Gu Shi felt extremely aggrieved. He looked around pitifully, but no one paid any attention to him.

Especially his eldest brother Gu Ting rolled his eyes at him.

Because the old lady had spoken, everyone ate dinner quietly, and Gu Shi didn't say anything else.

After dinner, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, I chatted with the old lady for a while before everyone left.

Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai returned to their own yard, and Gu Jinghuai was very happy.

"Husband, are you looking forward to returning to Qin Village?"

Qin Zhizhi knew Gu Jinghuai's mood by looking at his expression. Gu Jinghuai nodded when Qin Zhizhi asked him.

"I've been in the capital for so long, and I miss everyone."

This was the first time Gu Jinghuai had returned to Qinjia Village since leaving, so he couldn't help feeling a little emotional and excited.

"This time my husband is returning as the top scholar. Let's have some fun. It's just right that he will be starting his work at the Hanlin Academy soon after he returns."

Qin Zhizhi felt that the emperor would not delay for too long, and they would not stay in Qinjia Village for too long.

"Well, I'll be busy after returning from Qinjia Village. How about going to the Ning family today?"

Gu Jinghuai thought of Qin Zhizhi and his aunt going to the Qin family in the afternoon, and was very concerned about the progress of the matter. After all, it was about Qin Qingyun's lifelong event.

"I've already made arrangements with the Ning family, as well as with Grandma and my aunt. I'll arrange it for my second brother and Ning'er when I return from Qin Village."

"From now on, Brother Ning and I will be even closer."

"When we went there today, Master Ning was not at home. I really want to know what his expression was when he learned that his good brother wanted to be his brother-in-law."

Qin Zhizhi was really curious. Given the relationship between her second brother and Ning Xuan, would he lose his temper?

"Your husband will ask for you some other day!"

It was rare for Gu Jinghuai to see his wife being so curious about something. In fact, he didn't quite understand why Qin Zhizhi wanted to know Ning Xuan's feelings so much.

But as a man who dotes on his wife, if she wants to know, I must help her find out.

"Why don't we invite Master Ning and Ning'er to go back with us this time, so we can all get together and have some fun." Qin Zhizhi wanted to eat melons in front of them.

"My wife's suggestion is very good. Why don't I invite Brother Ning and you invite Ning Ning, and then we can all go together."

Gu Jinghuai agreed with his wife's idea very much. After all, Ning Xuan used to like to go to Qinjia Village to eat, and this time it was also a banquet, so he could have another chance.

"My husband, this is a good idea. Tomorrow you invite Young Master Ning to come with you, and I will invite Ning'er."

"Second brother must be happy too."

Ever since Gu Jinghuai married Qin Zhizhi, he has called Qin Qingyun "Second Brother". Although he is older than Qin Qingyun, since he married someone else's sister, he naturally has to be more sensible.

"Grandma, my aunt and the others must be happy too!"

Qin Zhizhi suddenly felt like returning home in glory, especially to the elders. It was such a happy thing that their child had a promising future, had been granted a marriage, and was about to get engaged.

"Ma'am, I'm so happy too!"

"Tell me about it!"

"I'm very happy that big brother and sister Yunfei can get together. As close friends for many years, I'm happy for big brother, and as his cousin, I'm happy for Fei'er."

"Big brother will definitely be a good husband."

"Husband, sister Yunfei not only has a good husband, but also a good grandmother, a good mother-in-law, and most importantly, a good sister-in-law, that's me."

"That's right. There's no sister-in-law as good as yours in the whole capital, and she's also my sister's eldest sister-in-law."

Gu Jinghuai smiled and joked with Qin Zhizhi.

"That's because my husband is lucky to marry me."

"Thank you, my lady, for marrying me."

The two smiled at each other, obviously thinking of their marriage. Gu Jinghuai took Qin Zhizhi's hand, and the two slowly walked back to the yard.
