Yun Muye went downstairs to eat, Yun Langqian and Song Panpan followed him. After the three of them sat down, Yun Muye spoke.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa Gu wants to invite our whole family to dinner tonight to talk about the wedding."
Yun Jianguo nodded and said, "Of course. You can book a private room at the big hotel tonight and our whole family will go!"
"I can't go because I want to see the baby!" Song Panpan felt jealous and twisted. Why hold a wedding when the baby is already born? How pretentious!
"No one invited you!" Yun Muye looked at her coldly. Song Panpan's shoulders trembled and she lowered her head to eat.
Yun Langqian asked, "Brother, I want to go too, is that okay?"
"Sure!" Yun Muye glanced at him.
Yun Langqian chuckled and felt much better. The last time Yun Shuang met with her in-laws for engagement, he didn't go and he had always felt bad about it. This time, he couldn't miss his elder brother's business again.
Gu family.
Gu Zhinian didn't finish touring the entire palace in the whole morning. There were long corridors on both sides, jade pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings. Little Tangyuan was running around on the corridors, making the nanny who followed him exhausted.
Gu Zhinian and his mother sat under the pavilion drinking tea and looking at the scenery. His mother turned around and looked around.
"Niannian, do you like this place? Your brother picked it out himself."
"I like it!" Gu Zhinian took a sip of tea, "I like every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, and every leaf here."
Mother Gu smiled and said:
"You see, your brother really understands you. He knew you would love this place, so he bought this palace on the spot. The Qiangong Babu bed you sleep on in your room is over a hundred years old. It's an old item."
"So long?"
Gu Zhinian was surprised. She quite liked the bed. The exquisite patterns carved on the frame made it look like a small house with layers of curtains falling. Sleeping in it made her feel safe.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Yun family brought gifts and went to meet their in-laws. After getting off the car, Yun Jianguo and Li Yuling walked together, and their three children followed behind. In front of outsiders, Li Yuling gave Yun Jianguo enough face.
Yun Jianguo looked at the palace gate in front of him and swallowed his saliva. "My dear, eldest son, is this daughter-in-law you're looking for a princess from some noble family? Living in a palace, this doesn't mean she's rich and powerful, it means she's extremely wealthy!"
Yun Muye ignored him and knocked on the door. The nanny opened the door and welcomed the person in.
"It's my son-in-law who's here! Please come in quickly!"
Yun Muye moved aside and waited for Yun Jianguo and Li Yuling to go in first, and he followed behind.
As soon as Yun Shuang entered, she was overwhelmed by the sight. Her sister-in-law's house was too beautiful and too luxurious! Yun Langqian was also shocked and speechless. His family conditions were considered good in Beijing, but they were not so wealthy as to buy a royal palace. What was the background of his sister-in-law's family?
Mr. Gu and Father Gu came forward with a smile.
"Oh! A distinguished guest has arrived. Hello."
Yun Jianguo took a few quick steps, extended his hand and greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, old man. Are you Zhinian's grandfather?"
"Yes!" Old Master Gu was still strong and looked at Yun Jianguo with a smile. Yun Jianguo exchanged a few flattering words with him and then turned to talk to Gu's father.
"Hello, in-laws."
"Hello!" Father Gu stepped forward and shook hands with him. "Please come in!"
Just as the Yun family walked up the stairs, little Tangyuan ran over from the corridor.
"Grandma! Grandma!"
Li Yuling turned her head and saw her eldest grandson running towards her with a smile on his face. She opened her arms to welcome him, and the little Tangyuan jumped into her grandmother's arms.
"Grandma, I went boating in the lake. It was so much fun!"
"Little Tangyuan is awesome!" Li Yuling squatted down to tidy up his messy clothes. Yun Jianguo clapped his hands and picked up his eldest grandson.
"Little Tangyuan, do you miss grandpa?"
"No!" Little Tangyuan teased his grandfather with a smile. Yun Jianguo was indeed a little sad. Little Tangyuan said again:
"You're lying to grandpa! Hehehe!"
"Little rascal!" Yun Jianguo patted him, "You really miss your grandma!"
Little Tangyuan got out of his arms and let his father hold him.
"Daddy, hold me!"
Yun Muye picked him up and followed everyone into the house. Yun Langqian followed behind his elder brother and reached out to pinch the little Tangyuan's little hand.
"Little Tangyuan, I'm your uncle."
"Hello, little uncle." Little Tangyuan lay on his father's shoulder and greeted him politely. Yun Langqian touched his hair.
"Good boy, little glutinous rice balls are so cute."
Yun Langqian looked at Xiao Tangyuan, feeling both envious and sad. He had a daughter whom he loved, but secretly he preferred a son. Unfortunately, he could only have one daughter in his life, and if he wanted to have another, he would lose his job.
Yun Shuang saw the loss in her second brother and comforted him:
"Jiaojiao is also very cute, second brother, you must love our Jiaojiao well. A caring little cotton-padded jacket is no better than a bad boy!"
"yes!"
Yun Langqian curled his lips and smiled. Thinking of his delicate and soft daughter, his heart felt warm. He felt ashamed and blushed about his previous thoughts. How could he be jealous of his elder brother having a son? He was really crazy.
When they arrived at the hall, the two families sat together to discuss the wedding. Yun Langqian met his sister-in-law for the first time. He lowered his head and called her "sister-in-law". Gu Zhinian also responded and sat down to listen to the elders chatting.
Yun Muye and Gu Zhinian sat on the side, listening to the parents of both sides flattering each other.
Gu Zhinian was bored and started to study Xiao Tangyuan's hair. Xiao Tangyuan's hair had grown long enough to be braided. Gu Zhinian took out a small rubber band and braided it on his head. Xiao Tangyuan cooperated very well and finally used up the rubber band. When she looked up, everyone was looking at her.
It’s over! It’s over! It’s over!
Gu Zhinian pulled off the rubber band on the little glutinous rice ball's head and looked at the two mothers with a flattering smile.
"I didn't mean to tear it down!"
Gu Zhinian was afraid of being scolded by the elders, so she pulled the rubber band hard, and little Tangyuan screamed in pain. Gu's mother and Li Yuling rushed over, trying to comfort her grandson with heartache. Gu's mother slapped her hand lightly.
"Hit mom, our baby is a boy, how can he wear pigtails?"
Li Yuling laughed and said, "Little Tangyuan is so pretty, with her pigtails, it's hard to tell whether she's a boy or a girl."
Mrs. Gu said: "Little Tangyuan's braids look just like us when we were little. So cute!"
Mother Gu observed it carefully again and said regretfully, "That's right! If little Tangyuan were a daughter, she would definitely be a replica of her every year."
Yun Muye caressed his son's frizzy hair lovingly. "Whether it's a son or a daughter, I love them both. They are both mine and Zhinian's treasures."
Gu Zhinian held his fingers together and looked at him with eyes full of admiration.
Yun Langqian pursed his lips and turned his head away, no longer looking at this happy scene.
