Chapter 275: Return Banquet
Today, the Princess's Mansion is decorated with lights and people in the mansion are busy before dawn.
Today is the princess's third day back home.
The maid Xiao Si was busy in an orderly manner, and flowers were placed everywhere in the courtyard.
Gu Shi had already run to the gate of the mansion several times since he got up in the morning.
The old lady couldn't bear it any longer and said, "It's only a short time now. Do you expect my darling granddaughter to get up in the middle of the night?"
"Mom, I'm just worried." Gu Shi felt that he hadn't seen his niece for three days and missed her.
"Don't make trouble. I have arranged for people to wait at the gate of the mansion. Just sit and wait in peace."
The old lady disliked Gu Shi's coming and going, which made her feel nervous.
The old lady was too lazy to pay attention to Gu Shi. She turned around and found that her grandchildren were not there either. She asked aloud, "Why don't I see Yun Lang and the others?"
Hearing his mother asking about the children, Gu Shi smiled and said, "Mom, they are all waiting for Yunfei and Qingyuan at the gate of the mansion. I just called them back, but they didn't listen at all."
"They miss their sister, so if they want to wait, then they can wait." The old lady is blatantly hypocritical.
"Mom, didn't you just scold me? Why are they different?" Gu Shi muttered unconvinced.
Mother Gu wanted to shut his mouth. Today was the happy day when her niece came home, otherwise his mother-in-law would definitely scold him again.
The old lady saw that her second daughter-in-law stopped her son and pretended that she had not heard what Gu Shi said just now.
Qin Zhizhi and the eldest princess lowered their heads and tried to suppress their laughter.
"The sedan chairs of the old lady, princess, princess and marquis are coming soon."
The head maid in the old lady's yard ran in with her skirt lifted up to report.
"Okay, my darling granddaughter is finally here. Let's go pick up Fei'er."
When the old lady heard that her granddaughter was coming, she stood up excitedly and wanted to go and pick up her granddaughter and grandson-in-law.
"Mother, just wait here. They will come to see you as soon as possible."
The old lady was old and an elder, so the princess couldn't let her mother-in-law go to welcome her daughter.
"Let's not bother with these empty formalities. Let's go and greet my darling granddaughter."
The old lady doesn't care about those things. Let others say whatever they want. She just wants to spoil her granddaughter.
The eldest princess couldn't persuade her and could only follow her out. How could she not want to see her daughter earlier? Her mother-in-law has always been like this.
Outside the main gate of the Princess's Mansion, the sedan chair landed steadily, and Qin Qingyuan, dressed in an indigo brocade robe, came out first.
Then he carefully helped Gu Yunfei out, and everyone at the gate was stunned.
Qin Qingyuan's movements were very gentle, as if he was treating some fragile treasure.
"My lady, be careful."
Gu Yunfei held Qin Qingyuan's hand and stepped out of the sedan chair, and saw a crowd of people kneeling in front of the mansion gate.
"Everyone get up!"
"Eldest sister, you and your brother-in-law are finally back."
"Cousin, Yao'er misses you so much."
"Hello, brother-in-law!"
Gu Yunlang, Gu Jingshu, and Gu Jingyao even forgot to greet each other and surrounded Gu Yunfei when they saw her.
"Why are you here?" Gu Yunfei saw that the three people were very friendly.
"We missed our sister, so we've been waiting here since early morning so we can see her sooner."
"I miss you too. Let's go to the mansion first."
Gu Yunfei walked in front holding Gu Yunlang in one hand and Gu Jingyao in the other. Qin Qingyuan automatically followed behind her, side by side with Gu Jingshu.
As soon as they passed through the second gate, they met the old lady and her group who came to pick them up.
"Grandma, Mother, I'm back!"
Gu Yunfei was very excited because she hadn't seen her grandmother and mother for a few days.
"Good boy, I'm glad you're back!" The old lady and the eldest princess' eyes instantly turned red.
"Grandma, aunt, today is a good day, you are not allowed to cry. Let's go in first." Qin Zhizhi hurried forward to persuade them.
"Grandma is so happy. Zhizhi is right. Let's go in and rest first."
The old lady held her granddaughter's hand tightly and was reluctant to let go. The eldest princess held the other one and was relieved when she saw her daughter's rosy face.
"Grandson-in-law pays homage to grandmother."
"The son-in-law greets his mother-in-law!"
....
Qin Qingyuan bowed one by one, and the old lady and the eldest princess nodded with satisfaction.
The princess smiled and said, "Your father-in-law and second uncle are waiting for you in the main hall. Yunlang, Jingshu will take your brother-in-law to find your father and uncle."
"I understand, mother."
"I understand, Auntie!"
"Brother-in-law, come with us quickly!"
The two of them already liked Qin Qingyuan, and now that he had become their brother-in-law, they liked him even more.
"My son-in-law is leaving!"
Qin Qingyuan bowed and took his leave, then walked to the front hall with Gu Yunlang and Gu Jingshu.
Before leaving, he took a special look at Gu Yunfei, the eldest princess and the old lady. They were all so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They were reluctant to part after such a short separation.
This side of the front hall.
Gu Ting was very happy to see his son-in-law coming. He was already satisfied with Qin Qingyuan.
After hearing from colleagues about the son-in-law carrying his daughter across the fire basin on the wedding day, he became even more satisfied with Qin Qingyuan.
"The son-in-law greets his father-in-law and his second uncle!"
Qin Qingyuan greeted Gu Ting and Gu Shi first, then bowed to Gu Jinghuai and said, "Brother."
Gu Ting was stunned for a moment again. He didn't expect Qin Qingyuan to call Jing Huai "Brother" and then laugh with satisfaction.
"We are all family, so we don't care about these empty formalities. Come and sit down. I won some good tea from the emperor yesterday. Come and try it."
Gu Ting personally brewed the good tea that he had won from the emperor yesterday for several people. When he entered the palace yesterday, the emperor praised his son-in-law for almost half an hour.
In the old lady's yard, the female members of the family were chatting happily, and the eldest princess finally felt relieved.
The Qin family is very good, and the son-in-law is also very good. She knows everything Qin Qingyuan has promised the emperor, so she knows that she has not chosen the wrong person.
Time passed quickly as they chatted and laughed. The maids had already set the table in the waterside pavilion. The main table was covered with a table curtain with a hundred children and thousands of grandchildren embroidered by Gu Yunfei before her wedding, which was very festive and appropriate.
As the sun sets in the west, the return banquet is coming to an end.
The Gu family reluctantly saw Gu Yunfei and Qin Qingyuan off.
Only when the sedan chair was out of sight did everyone return home.
Gu Yunfei used to think that the Gu family and the Qin family were very close, but at this moment she still felt different emotions.
Qin Qingyuan saw that she was a little depressed, so he reached out and hugged Gu Yunfei in his arms, then leaned over and whispered to his wife.
"My dear, if you like it, we can come back tomorrow. If you are not used to living in the Qin family, I will discuss with my father-in-law tomorrow and ask him to allow me to stay in the princess's mansion for a while."
"Husband, don't talk nonsense. I'm not uncomfortable living here, I just can't bear to leave my parents."
Gu Yunfei was afraid that Qin Qingyuan would misunderstand her, so she explained quickly.
"My wife, you can go back anytime. The Qin family doesn't have so many rules. Even if there were, your husband would settle everything for you."
"Thank you, husband."
Gu Yunfei felt much better after being comforted by Qin Qingyuan.
"Are you feeling better?"
Qin Qingyuan pinched Gu Yunfei's palm, and Gu Yunfei nodded gently.
Qin Qingyuan hugged his wife tighter, he wanted to try to do better.
