At night, the Jiang residence was quiet.
There are not many people living in Jiang's house now, just some servants who do the daily cleaning.
This place is different from the Jiang Mansion in Xincheng. Except for Uncle Fu, all the other servants are bought from the pawnshop.
Yuchi Ziling still returned to the main house to stay at night, but the young couple fell asleep as soon as they lay down.
During this period, I went to the border and traveled a lot, and I was extremely nervous. It was a rare opportunity for me to go home, relax, and sleep soundly.
It is the beginning of autumn and the weather is very hot and humid.
There was no wind at night. The ice in the ice basin in the main house slowly melted and the candle burned out. After it went out, a few wisps of white smoke floated up, leaving behind a hint of wax smell.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day.
In the morning, Uncle Fu prepared the things he would take back to the General's Mansion today.
When we arrived at the main house, we waited for a long time before Jiang Hai and his wife got up.
Uncle Fu gave the gift list to Jiang Hai and asked,
"Master, take a look, is there anything missing?"
Jiang Hai didn't quite understand, so he gave the gift list to his wife.
Yuchi Ziling didn't really understand. She just thought that as long as she could go back, gifts and such were not that important. So she told Uncle Fu,
"That's all. Thank you, Uncle Fu."
"Young Madam, please forgive me for embarrassing you. This is what I should do." Uncle Fu said hurriedly.
Well, even Yuchi Ziling felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.
Seeing that there was nothing else to prepare, Uncle Fu left the main house.
After washing up, I looked up at the sun and it was already so high.
The young couple hurried out to the general's mansion without having breakfast, and just made do with some cakes in the carriage.
After returning yesterday, I sent someone to report the news to the general's mansion.
So at this moment, Su Hui knew that her daughter and son-in-law were coming over today.
I waited in the main hall early, however, it seemed that these two people were a little unreliable.
It was almost noon when we arrived at the general's mansion.
In addition to Su Hui, Yuchi Shuang was also waiting anxiously. The reason was naturally that she had inadvertently spread the reputation of her brother-in-law.
Nowadays, many young ladies in the capital envy Yuchi Ziling, who is good at wielding spears and sticks, for marrying such a talented man.
When Jiang Hai and the other two got off the carriage, Ding Shang, the gatekeeper, came forward to greet them with a cheerful look on his face.
"Haha, Miss, your uncle is back."
"Brother Ding Shang, long time no see."
Jiang Hai greeted Ding Shang and casually stuffed a few gold leaves into his mouth. His movements were both skillful and elegant, and also very concealed.
When the two entered the general's mansion, Ding Wu, who was also guarding the gate, felt as if he had missed something and asked,
"Did the uncle give you a reward just now?"
"No, you're dazzled."
"Then your smile is a little abnormal. There must be something wrong with you."
"Hey, do you want to go drink with me after my shift tonight?"
"You still say no." Ding Wu immediately confirmed that he had missed out on hundreds of millions.
Jiang Hai and his wife walked towards the main hall, and Yuchi Shuang ran out on the way.
"Brother-in-law, you are here."
Yuchi Ziling felt a little strange when she saw her sister like this. She didn't see her elder sister but was only concerned about her brother-in-law.
"Hey, Shuang'er, can't you see me?"
"Oh, sister, you're back too."
"..." Yuchi Ziling was speechless, "What do you mean by 'I'm back too'? Shouldn't I be back?"
"Hehe, I'm just a little excited." Yuchi Shuang said with an embarrassed smile.
"What's so exciting?" Yuchi Ziling asked as they walked.
"Sister, you don't know, you are envied by everyone now. They all say you are lucky to marry a talented man like your brother-in-law."
“…” Yuchi Ziling looked at Jiang Hai in confusion.
Jiang Hai also looked at her in confusion.
The two were in a state of confusion and had no idea what to do.
By this time they had already reached the main hall, and Su Hui was standing at the door, smiling and welcoming her daughter and son-in-law.
Jiang Hai and his wife did not discuss this topic with Yuchi Shuang anymore.
Wenzhi helped bring in the return gift.
The return gifts are not as exaggerated as the wedding gifts and dowry in the past.
The main purpose of visiting the parents' home is for the daughter to talk to her mother and learn about her situation at her husband's home.
After sitting in the main hall for a while, Yuchi Shuang said she would take Jiang Hai for a walk in the yard and let her elder sister talk to her mother.
Jiang Hai felt that was right. There were some things that were difficult for the mother and daughter to discuss with him. So he followed Yuchi Shuang out of the main hall.
"Shuang'er, take me to see your sister's former residence."
"Oh, has my brother-in-law never entered my sister's boudoir?"
"Yeah, just curious. See if it's all swords and weapons."
"Haha, that's not that exaggerated."
So Yuchi Shuang took Jiang Hai to the backyard, where Yuchi Ziling used to live.
Along the way, Yuchi Shuang said to Jiang Hai excitedly,
"Brother-in-law, do you know that the poem you wrote on the day of the wedding to urge the bride to get ready has now spread all over the capital."
"Oh, really? That's quite unexpected."
Jiang Hai didn't expect this to happen. He just copied a few poems to satisfy Yuchi Shuang.
There's nothing I can do about it, anything the young master produces must be top quality.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what kind of poem did you write for my sister? Can you tell me about it?" Yuchi Shuang's face was full of anticipation.
Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "No, your sister felt sorry for me and didn't let me write a poem."
"No way, is my sister so casual? Well, yes, she is quite casual." Yuchi Shuang was a little disappointed.
When Jiang Hai heard this, he felt something was wrong. How could his wife be so casual? He corrected her,
"Shuang'er, don't say your sister is casual. Your sister is not that kind of person."
"Oh." Yuchi Shuang said, not quite understanding.
But she didn't know why Jiang Hai said that. There was still a slight difference between her understanding and that of Young Master Jiang.
Yuchi Shuang was still young and lively after all, so she immediately asked Jiang Haidao,
"Could you please write a couple more poems about fanning me?"
"No. I don't dare to do it unless your sister allows me to." Jiang Hai said it as if it was the truth.
"Oh, yes. My sister is quite violent. I guess my brother-in-law can't beat her." Yuchi Shuang nodded.
"No, I can beat him. If you don't believe me, ask your sister. She couldn't beat me and she even begged my stepmother for mercy." Jiang Hai smiled smugly.
"Really? My brother-in-law is really good at martial arts. There are few men in this capital who can beat my sister." Yuchi Shuang admired Jiang Hai a little bit and said, "Brother-in-law, let's have a few moves. Give me some pointers."
“…” Jiang Hai’s mouth twitched.
Well, his sister-in-law's understanding is different from his. He waved his hand quickly and said,
"Shuang'er, no, no, no, today is not a good day for us to fight. Besides, it's not convenient for me to wear this."
"That's right, let's talk about it later when there's a chance."
Yuchi Shuang was like a crazy fan, talking one thing after another, and then asked Jiang Hai,
"Brother-in-law, the Autumn Examination is just around the corner this year. Are you here to take part in it?"
"No." Jiang Hai said firmly with a determined look, "A man should learn from me, Taishan, to fight on the battlefield and achieve great things."
