Chapter 140 Wang Xinru dropped her jaw!
After dinner, Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai chatted with the elders for a while.
It was not until the old lady yawned slightly that everyone realized that they had been chatting so late without realizing it.
"I'm old and can't bear it anymore. I'm going back to my room to rest. You guys can go home too."
After the old lady finished speaking, the maid beside her hurried forward to support her and carefully helped her walk towards the inner courtyard.
Gu's mother was afraid that Gu Shi's body could not hold on, so she prepared to take Gu Shi back to rest.
Before leaving, Mother Gu gently patted Qin Zhizhi's hand and said, "Zhizhi, Jinghuai, you should also rest early and don't be too tired."
Gu Shi also nodded slightly. Although he didn't say anything, there was some concern in his eyes.
Qin Zhizhi responded respectfully: "Don't worry, father and mother, we will pay attention."
The eldest princess and her family also stood up and said goodbye.
Qin Zhizhi also made an appointment with Gu Yunfei to go to the shop together tomorrow.
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai personally escorted them to the gate of the courtyard and watched them leave until the footsteps faded away.
Then he and Gu Jinghuai went back to their own yard hand in hand.
The two walked side by side on the bluestone path back to the courtyard.
Qin Zhizhi felt the warmth of his palm, and her heart was at peace. All her fatigue disappeared at this moment.
When they returned to the bedroom, the maid had already prepared hot water, and Gu Jinghuai asked Qin Zhizhi to go wash up first.
Qin Zhizhi sat in front of the dressing table, and Gu Jinghuai gently helped her take off the hair accessories on her head.
Gu Jinghuai looked at her in the mirror, reached out and held her in his arms, and spoke from behind.
"My wife is finally back. Without her, I couldn't sleep every night."
Qin Zhizhi leaned in Gu Jinghuai's arms and said softly, "My husband, I'm back."
Gu Jinghuai lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying softly, "Yes, it's great that my wife is finally back."
Qin Zhizhi looked at Gu Jinghuai's aggrieved expression and took the initiative to kiss him.
Gu Jinghuai had endured for so many days, and his longing burst out at this moment.
As the night deepened, the flickering candlelight illuminated the figures of two people leaning on each other.
Gu Jinghuai felt sorry for Qin Zhizhi and didn't make a fuss until late.
That night, Qin Zhizhi slept exceptionally soundly, her dreams filled with the smiling faces of her family members.
Gu Jinghuai looked at his sleeping wife and quickly fell asleep as well, no longer having to sleep alone.
The next day, Qin Zhizhi got up a little late.
But no one in the Gu family blamed her. The old lady felt sorry for her and specifically asked the kitchen to keep breakfast warm for the young lady.
When Qin Zhizhi arrived at the old lady's yard, Gu Yunfei had been waiting for her for a while.
"Good morning, Grandma, good morning, Sister Yunfei. I got up late today and kept you waiting for so long."
Qin Zhizhi felt a little embarrassed. She had made an appointment with her sister yesterday, but she got up late today.
"If you're tired, just sleep a little longer. Fei'er is right here to talk to me."
Seeing that Qin Zhizhi felt a little embarrassed, Mrs. Gu spoke up to help her out.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you've been working hard recently. You'll be fine if you get more sleep. We're not in a hurry."
Gu Yunfei is very considerate of Qin Zhizhi. She comes to pay her respects to her grandmother every day, and it doesn’t matter if her sister-in-law is late.
Qin Zhizhi stayed with the old lady for a while, and the old lady told them to go about their own business.
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Yunfei left the old lady and took a carriage directly to the shop.
"Sister-in-law, I've made an appointment with Sister Ning'er and the Second Miss today. Let them meet us directly at the shop."
Wang Xinru and Ning Ning greeted Gu Yunfei a few days ago, and asked Qin Zhizhi to remember to invite them for a small gathering when she returns.
Although Qin Zhizhi said she wanted to go to the shop today, it would not prevent her from meeting her sisters.
"Sister Yunfei is really thoughtful." Qin Zhizhi praised with a smile.
Gu Yunfei was very happy when her sister-in-law praised her early in the morning.
When Qin Zhizhi and Gu Yunfei arrived at the shop, Wang Xinru and Ning Ning were already waiting for them.
Gu Yunfei saw the two of them and said in surprise, "It's not the agreed time yet, why are you here so early?"
"Sister Zhizhi, Ning'er misses you so much."
"Sister Yunfei, my cousin and I wanted to see Sister Zhizhi sooner, so we left early."
Ning Ning hugged Qin Zhizhi and acted coquettishly, and Qin Zhizhi smiled helplessly.
"Let's go in and take a rest first. I brought some good stuff from Qinjia Village this time. When you're done, come with me to Qin's house to get it."
Qin Zhizhi was in a hurry to go out today, so she didn't bring any sausages with her. The sausages she brought from Qinjia Village were drying in the Qin family's yard.
"Sister Zhizhi, what good stuff did you bring this time?"
When Wang Xinru heard that there was something good, her eyes lit up. She sent the goods from the beauty shop to shops in other places and they were all sold out.
"You'll find out when you get there. Wait for me for a while. We'll go back after we're done and have lunch at Qin's house."
Qin Zhizhi invited Wang Xinru and Ning Ning to dinner at her home.
Ning Ning was very happy when she heard this. She loved eating at the Qin family the most.
Wang Xinru was a little nervous when she went to Qin's house for the first time.
While Qin Zhizhi went to discuss things with the shopkeeper, Ning Ning whispered to comfort Wang Xinru.
"Cousin, don't be nervous. Sister Zhizhi's family is very nice. You'll know when you go there."
Wang Xinru nodded after hearing what her cousin said. She felt that Qin Zhizhi's family should be the same as Qin Zhizhi.
Before Qin Zhizhi returned to Beijing, Gu Yunfei had almost dealt with the affairs in the shop, and Qin Zhizhi came to confirm it today.
After communicating with the shopkeeper, it was decided that the shop would start selling sausages tomorrow, at one hundred coins per pound.
"Young Madam, is this price too expensive?"
The shopkeeper asked with some concern after hearing Qin Zhizhi's pricing.
"It's a little expensive, but it's complicated to make. I have a way to sell it. I'll come here in person tomorrow."
The shopkeeper felt relieved after hearing this. The eldest princess had personally instructed that if the products could not be sold, there would be no explanation.
Qin Zhizhi actually had a selfish motive. She wanted to try out the selling price of one hundred coins per catty.
If it can be sold, I can give the people of Qinjia Village a higher purchase price next year.
After Qin Zhizhi discussed everything with the shopkeeper, she took Wang Xinru, Ning Ning and others to the Qin family.
When leaving yesterday, Qin Zhizhi told me that these sausages needed to be hung in a ventilated and sunny place to dry.
As soon as they got up early this morning, the Qin family started working, including Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun who also helped to dry the sausages.
This was the scene Qin Zhizhi saw when she came in with a few people.
The most surprised person was Wang Xinru. She had thought of thousands of scenarios of meeting the Qin family, but this one was not one of them.
"Grandma Qin, let me help you."
Wang Xinru was still in a daze, but Ning Ning had already run over to help.
Qin Zhizhi introduced Wang Xinru to her family. The Qin family was very enthusiastic and expressed a warm welcome to Wang Xinru.
"Zhizhi, take the second young lady and the others to your yard to rest for a while. Grandma will be done with her work soon."
"Grandma Qin, we'll stay and help you. Let Sister Zhizhi take my cousin to rest."
Then Wang Xinru saw that the usually pampered fifth lady of the Ning family and the banished fairy-like princess were helping to dry the sausages.
And this picture is indescribably warm and harmonious.
