Chapter 232 Return to Beijing for reunion!
The next afternoon.
Qin Zhizhi and his group finally arrived in the capital.
The housekeeper of the Gu Mansion was so excited that tears filled his eyes when he saw his master, mistress and daughters finally returned.
My uncle asks him this every day. He is really afraid that he will not come back, so my uncle will go to pick him up in person.
"Hurry up and inform the old lady, the eldest princess, the princess, the prince, and the eldest son that they are back."
The housekeeper ordered the servant to go to the Princess's Mansion and the Old Madam's courtyard to inform them. He knew that they were also concerned about the time of their return home every day.
"Go to the kitchen and tell them to cook more of the Princess, the Crown Prince, and the Eldest Young Master's favorite dishes tonight."
In this mansion, the young masters and ladies, including the young lady, are extremely favored.
The few of them had been away from home for many days and missed their families very much, so they ignored their tiredness and went straight to the old lady's yard.
Hearing that her grandchildren had returned, the old lady wanted to go to the gate of the mansion to pick them up, but was finally persuaded by the nanny, who now waited at the gate of the yard.
From a distance, a few people saw the old lady, supported by the nanny, standing at the gate of the yard waiting for them.
The children hadn't seen their grandmother for many days, so they started running, shouting as they ran.
"Grandma, we're back!"
The old lady saw the children running, her face filled with joy and excitement.
Several children ran to the old lady, lifted their robes and knelt down: "Grandson/granddaughter greets grandmother!"
"Good children, get up quickly, get up quickly!" The old lady helped the children up herself.
He held several people's hands and said, "Let grandma take a good look at it."
"Grandma, we miss you so much. Can you come with us next time?"
Several children surrounded the old lady and acted coquettishly, and the old lady couldn't stop smiling.
When Gu Jinghuai and others arrived, the old lady was amused by the children.
"Grandson/granddaughter-in-law pays respects to grandmother!"
"Son/daughter-in-law pays respects to mother!"
"Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother!"
"Hurry up, it's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
The old lady was very happy to see her family members who had been away from home for many days return home safely.
I looked at everyone carefully and found that they were rounder than when I left home. They all had rosy complexions and were in good spirits.
"Did the journey go smoothly?"
"Everything went well!" Gu Jinghuai and Qin Zhizhi stepped forward to support the old lady.
As they were talking, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the inner courtyard, and the eldest princess came hurriedly.
Several people hurried forward to pay their respects, but the eldest princess held them back.
"You're glad to be back. No need to be so polite. You've been traveling all the way. Come in and rest for a while."
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Thank you, mother."
"Mom, Yunlang misses you so much!"
Gu Yunlang's coquettish behavior made the eldest princess' eyes red. Seeing that her youngest son had a rosy complexion and was a little fatter than when he left home, she knew that everyone took good care of him.
The eldest princess looked at them with gratitude.
"Mother misses you too. Did Yunlang behave well this time when he went out?"
The eldest princess touched her youngest son's head with a gentle look on her face.
"Don't worry, mother. I've been very obedient. If you don't believe me, ask my eldest sister-in-law and eldest sister. Besides, the people in Qinjia Village are very nice. I like it there."
Gu Yunlang really likes Qinjia Village. The people there are very hospitable, both in the past and now.
"Okay, okay, let's go inside and talk. The children are tired after riding in the carriage all day."
The old lady stopped everyone from talking any further with a smile and gave instructions to the maid.
"Go to the kitchen and see if there are any delicious pastries. Bring them to the young master, young lady, and young mistress to fill their stomachs."
The maid received the old lady's order and ran to the kitchen.
The group soon arrived at the main hall, and the maids came in one after another, serving tea and snacks.
"Try it quickly! I have the kitchen prepare it every day, just in case you don't have it when you come back."
They were indeed a little hungry, and there was still some time before dinner, so each of them took a piece and started eating.
The familiar taste melts on the tip of the tongue, sweet but not greasy.
“Delicious, thank you, Grandma!”
The children ate the cakes and thanked their grandmother happily.
"Eat something first to fill your stomach. Dinner will be all your favorite dishes."
“Thank you, Grandma!”
The children thanked her in unison, and the old lady's face was full of love.
After eating the cakes, the old lady sent them back to wash up and have dinner together in the evening.
Only then did they bow and take their leave.
Gu Ting is back from duty this afternoon.
The doorman saw him from a distance and hurried forward to report, "Sir, the young ladies and gentlemen are back."
"When will you arrive at the mansion?" Gu Ting was overjoyed when he heard that they were finally back.
"I came back in the afternoon. The old lady said you could see him when you came back, so she didn't send anyone to notify you."
The doorman answered in a low voice, fearing that his master would get angry and beat him up.
The main thing is that the master has to give instructions every day when he goes out, and the young ladies and gentlemen have to report to him when they come back.
"knew!"
Gu Ting was so excited right now that he didn't care to hold the doorman responsible. Besides, it was his mother who ordered him to do so, so how could he blame her?
Gu Ting quickened his pace and went directly to the old lady's yard.
When he arrived at the old lady's yard, the whole family was there, waiting for him.
"Daddy is back!"
"Uncle is back!"
"Big brother is back!"
"You're finally back. Come sit down. You must be hungry. Let's eat now."
Seeing that everyone in the family was waiting for him, Gu Ting was afraid that everyone was hungry, so he quickly urged the housekeeper to prepare dinner.
Today's dinner is all the children's favorite dishes: steamed sea bass, braised prawns, sweet and sour spare ribs...
Only after the old lady started eating did the others start to eat.
During the meal, the children talked about what they had seen and heard in Qinjia Village in the past few days.
The old lady and the eldest princess listened attentively, exclaiming or laughing from time to time.
The Gu Mansion returned to its former state of laughter and joy.
Gu Ting had a smile on his face all night. Not only did he chat happily with the children, he also had a few drinks with his younger brother Gu Shi.
Qin Zhizhi remembered that she had been away for a while, so she asked her uncle to help look after the shop and raised her glass to toast Gu Ting.
"Uncle, aunt, you've been working hard at the shop lately."
"Silly child, we are all family, why should we talk about hardship?"
The eldest princess drank the wine Qin Zhizhi offered her with a smile. In fact, she was more grateful to Qin Zhizhi for taking such good care of her son.
"The princess is right. We are all family. We don't have this habit. Besides, there is nothing wrong with the shop. Everything is fine."
Gu Ting happily drank the wine Qin Zhizhi offered him. The eldest princess suppressed the smile on her face as she listened to his words.
It sounds so easy, I wonder who has to go to the shop to check every day.
"Princess and your uncle are right. We are all family. This is not the way to deal with it. Come and eat more."
The old lady personally picked up some food for Qin Zhizhi, and the more she looked at her granddaughter-in-law, the more she liked her.
The Gu family's dinner ended with laughter and joy. The old lady looked at the children and felt extremely happy.
She hopes her children will always be happy!
