Those from the capital who could come to the Peng family for a banquet were all people with good relations with the Peng family. For example, Madam Huo recognized the Emperor, Empress and Grand Empress Dowager during the banquet. She simply went up to greet them, but the Empress pointed out a few things to her. She understood that this matter could not be discussed with others, so she also gave a hint to the other ladies while chatting.
Everyone understood that it was fine to tell the head of the household about this when they got back, but they couldn't spread it around.
After Gu Hui got married, the weather in Kuncheng became a bit cold, and the guests who came to Kuncheng for the wedding banquet left one after another.
But Kuncheng was not deserted; the streets were still bustling.
On the second day of the tenth lunar month, Gu Hui returned to her parents' home after her wedding.
She got married and no longer wore her hair in a girl's bun, but instead wore it in a married woman's style.
Although her expression remained serious, a closer look revealed that she possessed a more feminine charm and appeared more mature.
Although the two families lived very close to each other, the Gu family still prepared a large, lavish feast to entertain the newlyweds.
Peng Ze was dressed in casual clothes. He was very tall and looked mature and steady. He entered the house with Gu Hui, and they looked like a perfect match.
After Peng Ze came in, he called out to everyone one by one.
Now that they were married, he naturally knew Grandpa Gu's identity and addressed him as Grand Empress Dowager and Grandma, just like Gu Hui.
The Empress Dowager's first great-grandson-in-law was a member of the Peng family, a family of generals. She was very pleased with him and gave him a large red envelope.
Since the new son-in-law has come to visit, Peng Ze no longer needs to address himself as "your humble servant," and like Gu Hui, he calls the Emperor "Uncle" and the Empress "Aunt." Prince Kang and his wife are also present; they are "Uncle Wang" and "Aunt Wang."
Kang Wang, with a lively personality like Uncle Gu, joked, "Peng Dalang, you've really hit the jackpot! You're a farsighted fellow, knowing that our Ye family's daughter was coming, so even if you had to wait until she was over twenty, you still made sure she came, right?"
Peng Ze smiled. He really didn't know how to answer that, but he still had to express his feelings: "Uncle Wang is right. For Huihui and me, that is a treasure, a treasure we will cherish for a lifetime."
The emperor replied, "I heard that. Anyway, I'll tell my children and grandchildren that you should remember what you said today!"
Peng Ze nodded: "Yes, I've got it!"
Grandpa Gu chuckled and smoothed things over, saying, "Don't scare Aze. I believe he'll treat Huihui well. Aze is a good boy, come and sit down."
Peng Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
Like other families, when a married daughter returns home, the son-in-law chats with the men in the family, while the daughter chats with her sisters.
With the Empress Dowager present, Princess Jinghe dared not act rashly and did not dare to ask Gu Hui whether she had used the contents of the book she had given her.
Gu Hui was still caring. She remembered that the Empress Dowager would go to the hot spring resort to escape the cold in winter and to the summer resort to escape the heat in summer, so she asked the Empress Dowager, "Great-Grandma, are you getting used to the cold weather?"
The Empress Dowager patted her hand and laughed, "Look at this girl, she's different now that she's married, she knows how to care for people! It was cold before she got married, and she didn't even ask me about it!"
Everyone laughed.
Gu Xin chimed in, "Great-Grandma, Eldest Sister is right! Although it doesn't snow in Kuncheng during winter, it's not as cold as the capital when it snows. Great-Grandma, how about we go somewhere else to stay for a couple of months? We can come back when it's time to slaughter pigs in the twelfth lunar month!"
