Chapter 308 The Patriarch’s Expectations!
Early the next morning.
Zhang went directly to the farm, while Mrs. Qin took Mrs. Li, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Yao to work at home.
Gu Yunfei got up early today and went back to the house to borrow a chef from her mother.
The chef’s surname is Qian. He used to cook for the late emperor. The eldest princess’s taste is most similar to that of the late emperor.
Later, the current emperor arranged for him to work in the princess's mansion to cook for the eldest princess.
His cooking skills are so good that his sons and grandsons are now learning cooking from him.
Hearing that he was borrowed by the princess to cook for the Qin family, Chef Qian asked Gu Yunfei hesitantly.
"Princess, can I take my grandson with me? He just happened to be learning cooking from me recently, so he can go and help me."
"Of course, there might be a lot of people here today, more than at our house. Your grandson can cook any dish he's good at. Today we're entertaining my husband's family, so we'll serve something real."
Gu Yunfei did not hide anything and directly stated her requirements for tonight. Country people do not care about fancy things. They just want to drink and eat meat with big mouthfuls. The most important thing is to eat enough and eat well.
Chef Sun was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood what the princess meant.
"Thank you, Princess. We, the grandparents and grandchildren, will definitely do our best."
What Gu Yunfei meant was that you just need to cook well, no one will blame you, and there is no need to have any fancy ideas, just have a real meal.
Chef Sun’s grandson can also do it, just by making use of his own expertise.
The eldest princess naturally spoiled her daughter. Afraid that Chef Sun and his grandson were not enough, she arranged for a few kitchen helpers to go together.
The Qin family was particularly lively today. Mrs. Qin was happily directing everyone to work, and she herself was not idle either, helping with the work.
The mansion was cleaned very cleanly in one morning, and the entire Qin Mansion felt brand new.
Mrs. Qin looked at the results of her morning's work with great satisfaction and was extremely happy.
On Zhuangzi's side.
After Zhang told her father-in-law, elder brother, and husband about this, they all agreed.
"Dad, since everyone has work arranged in the morning, let's go back in the afternoon and have lunch at the farm."
Qin He felt that this matter was too sudden. Everyone was busy and working in the fields at the moment.
"Okay, let's do as the second brother said. After lunch, tell everyone to pack up their things and go directly to our house. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
Old man Qin made the final decision. Now that the work on the farm was almost done, he had originally planned to tell Zhizhi about taking a holiday.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhizhi asked her second daughter-in-law to come and inform them first. She not only bought New Year's goods for the people in Qinjia Village, but also arranged a banquet.
Old man Qin was extremely satisfied. In his heart, ten grandsons could not compare to his granddaughter, let alone his son.
Old Man Qin looked at Zhang with even greater satisfaction. His daughter-in-law was also a good one, having given birth to such a great granddaughter for him.
After discussing it, Zhang did not go back early, but waited to return home with them in the afternoon.
The task assigned to her by her mother-in-law today was to come to the farm and pick everyone up. She only had to do this job well.
As for matters in the mansion, my mother-in-law, my eldest sister-in-law, and my third brother’s wife will take care of it.
Zhang first went to the residence of the clan leaders, but found that they were not there either, and had gone to the fields.
They came to the capital when their granddaughter Gu Nian was one month old. Since her father-in-law, grandfather and the two of them were living on the farm, they also chose to live there.
They were not hired by their daughter to do the work, but as farmers, they couldn't sit idle, so they came to the farm and worked with everyone every day.
Not only did everyone have no complaints, but they also enjoyed their work.
Zhang shook her head helplessly and went to the kitchen to ask the maids to have some extra food for lunch. She also told them that they didn't need to cook dinner for so many people.
During lunch, Old Man Qin told this story to his eldest brother, second brother and the clan leader, and they were all deeply moved.
The work in the fields was almost done, and there were already people on the farm, so after dinner, everyone started packing up and preparing to go to Qin's house.
Some people are worried and finish their own work before leaving.
After washing and changing into new clothes, the group set out from the farm to Qin's mansion.
They were very grateful for the Qin family's invitation. Now the Qin family is also a well-known family in the capital, and they consciously maintain the reputation of the Qin family.
When attending a banquet, one must dress neatly and cleanly, and must not let others laugh at the Qin family.
When the group arrived at the Qin Mansion, Mrs. Qin and her daughters-in-law were already waiting at the door to greet them.
Although there is no need to welcome them, the ceremony should be more solemn since the clan leader is present.
"It's so cold, why are you still waiting here? Thank you for your hard work in preparing the meal. Come in quickly!"
The clan leader was deeply moved when he saw Mrs. Qin and the others.
"Please come in, clan leader. Zhizhi is here too. She's looking after the baby. The princess is with her. She just came out of confinement not long ago and is still holding the baby. She wanted to come out to greet you, but I didn't let her."
Mrs. Qin explained why her granddaughter didn't come out.
"They are all family, so there is no need to welcome them or not. The children are young and must be carefully looked after."
The patriarch had a kind face. They didn't need Qin Zhizhi's welcome. Qin Zhizhi led Qinjia Village and the Qin family to where they are today. She was the benefactor of the entire clan.
"When you see her later, you must tell her something!"
Mrs. Qin was so happy to see that the clan leader really loved his granddaughter.
Old Man Qin took everyone to the front hall to rest first, as dinner would take a while.
Not long after, Qin Zhizhi came over with her daughter and Gu Yunfei.
Because Qin Zhizhi is now the county lord and Gu Yunfei is the princess, the group quickly stood up and saluted.
"Clan leader, uncles, and uncles, today is a family dinner. Don't worry about these empty formalities. Please stand up quickly."
Everyone saw that the princess and Qin Zhizhi were sincere and smiled happily.
Then, the clan leader, the eldest uncle, and the second uncle all gathered around to look at the little dumpling. They had already thought of all the words to praise anyone in their life.
Gu Yunfei wanted to laugh when she heard this. The elders of the Qin family and the people of Qin Village were just so cute.
The others didn't use any fancy words, they just smiled and praised the little dumpling for being pretty.
The last time they came to the Qin Mansion was Qin Qingyuan's wedding. The mansion was quite busy at that time. Now there was still some time before Qin Qingyuan and others got off work, so Old Man Qin took everyone on a tour.
After looking around, everyone couldn't help but sigh that the Qin family's house was really big, and they were really happy for the Qin family.
When the group came back from shopping, Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun had just returned from their shift. Of course, Gu Jinghuai was there too. Qin Zhizhi had told him last night that he would come directly to the Qin family after his shift today.
Although several of them are now serving as officials in the court, they still bow and greet the clan leader when they see him.
At this moment, there are no top scholars, third scholars, or court officials here, only the younger generation.
When the patriarch saw these people and then looked at the hardworking men, he felt very pleased.
If everyone works together, the Qin family will surely be as glorious as our ancestors, or even surpass them.
