The next day, Ye Chen and Shen Qiu returned to the Shen family at noon.
This time when Chen Qiu returned home, he was accompanied by three carriages of gifts.
The gift a woman gives when she returns home can reveal how much importance her husband’s family attaches to her.
In the previous life, although Madam Xiao had prepared a lot, Ye Chen did not accompany Chen Qiu back.
The second daughter of the Shen family laughed at Chen Qiu: "We are only doing this for your grandmother's sake, so we can show you some respect. This is the first time in Kyoto that a bride has returned home on her own!"
In this life, there are not only things prepared by Lady Xiao, but also things prepared by Ye Chen himself. In addition to gold, silver, and jewelry, there are also many medicinal herbs.
Ye Chen was invited into the main hall, where sat Yong'an Hou Shen Yaozu and Yong'an Hou's wife Li Cuilan, who were Shen Qiu's grandparents. Like Ye Chen's grandparents, they were both founding fathers.
It’s just that Ye Chen’s grandparents were of higher status. Li Cuilan, the wife of Marquis Yong’an, and Xiao Hong’an, the wife of Duke Fuguo, were sisters who fought side by side in life and death at that time.
Ye Chen was arranged to sit at the first seat on the right, which was the highest honor for a junior. Ye Chen pulled Shen Qiu to sit next to him.
He looked up at Shen Qiu's mother, Wang Linfang, and said, "Mother-in-law, please take the herbs I brought back with me when you return to the northwest. They are all excellent wound medicines. Father-in-law and my eldest brother should be able to use them."
"Grandpa and Grandma, I have prepared some other herbs here. They are all for strengthening the body and prolonging life."
Wang Linfang said with a smile: "Thank you very much, uncle. Did Qiu'er cause you any trouble?"
Ye Chen looked at Chen Qiu and said, "Qiu'er is my treasure, how could she cause me trouble? I'd be happy to let her cause me trouble!"
After Ye Chen finished speaking, everyone was stunned. It was of course a good thing that the son-in-law was fond of his daughter, but was it not good to say it in front of so many people?
Later, Yong'an Hou coughed and interrupted the awkwardness, saying: "Okay, your mother will accompany Qiu'er to have a private talk, and I will accompany my grandson-in-law to talk."
The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an took Wang Linfang and Shen Qiu out. Just as they sat down in the pavilion in the back garden, a woman dressed like a butterfly floated in.
"Sister is back? Why didn't anyone notify me? If I hadn't heard from the servants, I wouldn't have known. It would be so embarrassing if the news got out that my sister came back and I didn't go to greet her!" The visitor was the daughter of Shen Qiu's second uncle. Her original name was Shen Dong, but after going to school, she felt that her name was too ugly to hear, so she changed it to Shen Rouyun.
Chen Qiu once teased Mingyue and Xing'er, "Forcing two completely unrelated words together makes it look vulgar and ridiculous."
Shen Rouyun's words were obviously nonsense. It was a well-known fact in the Great Yin Kingdom that a daughter would return home three days after her marriage. Moreover, during dinner last night, Marquis Yong'an had specifically asked them to prepare to welcome the new son-in-law today, but she said she didn't know.
If she didn't know, why did she dress so extravagantly? She even wore the golden hairpins that she usually wouldn't wear?
The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an was a straightforward person. She snorted coldly and said, "Don't you know? It seems that you don't plan to return to your parents' home after you get married. The three-day return to your parents' home is a rule known to all the people of the Great Yin Kingdom, but you don't know it. Since you don't know it, then you don't have to return to your parents' home in the future, and we don't have to bother preparing for it."
Shen Rouyun's father is Shen Qiu's second uncle. He was born to the concubine of Yong'an Marquis. In those years, Yong'an Marquis was leading troops outside for a long time, and the wife of Yong'an Marquis followed him. The concubine Aunt Zhao was in charge of the mansion. Shen Rouyun's father, Shen Baisong, was raised by the concubine.
Marquis Yong'an only retired after his eldest son Shen Bolin took over the military power. Because he had been living in a cold and harsh place for many years, he suffered from many illnesses.
Because of Shen Rouyun's joining, Shen Qiu and the others' originally harmonious conversation could no longer proceed.
Later, Chen Qiu took Mingyue and Xing'er back to her boudoir.
Ye Chen and Yong'an Hou went to the study. Ye Chen knew what the old man was concerned about, so he said directly after entering the study: "Everyone in Yong'an Hou's Mansion is fine, but Editor Shen will be exiled!"
After hearing this, Marquis Yong'an sighed and bowed to Ye Chen, but Ye Chen raised his hand to stop him.
Yong'an Hou said: "Thank you very much, Duke. Otherwise, this incident would have been a disaster for the Shen family!"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "This matter is also beneficial to the emperor, so it is not entirely my credit!"
Ye Chen continued: "Grandfather, are we okay now?"
Marquis Yong'an exclaimed "Ah?", not understanding what Ye Chen meant.
Ye Chen continued: "I miss Qiu'er, I want to find her!"
Marquis Yong'an's face instantly became full of black lines. They had only been separated for a quarter of an hour, so... was it really okay to say it so bluntly?
Yong'an Hou coughed awkwardly and said, "Go ahead. If it's not in the back garden, it's in Qiu'er's boudoir. I'll have someone show you the way!"
Ye Chen really turned around and walked away. Yong'an Hou shouted from behind: "Slow down, wait for it, servant. You can't find it yourself!"
Ye Chen ignored the Marquis of Yong'an and trotted all the way to Shen Qiu's yard. Can't find it? How is that possible? In his previous life, after Shen Qiu left, he used some trickery to buy the Marquis of Yong'an's house, and he lived in Shen Qiu's boudoir.
After Chen Qiu left in his previous life, every time he dreamed of Chen Qiu, it was the scene before her death. His Qiu'er never came to look for him on her own initiative, not even to scold him.
He lived here hoping to see Chen Qiu. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods originally, but after that he prayed every day to see Chen Qiu'er's ghost, hoping that when his Qiu'er came back, she would see him and appear in his dreams!
Ye Chen ran to the yard. Mingyue and Xing'er were chatting in the yard. Ye Chen ran straight into the house.
Chen Qiu was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze. When he heard someone coming in, he sat up straight.
Seeing that it was Ye Chen who was out of breath from running, he stood up and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so tired from running? What happened?"
Ye Chen looked at Chen Qiu, hugged Chen Qiu and kissed him. Before Chen Qiu could react, he was kissed dizzy.
Ye Chen stopped when both of them were breathing unsteadily and said, "I missed you, so I ran all the way here."
"Qiu'er, do you miss me?"
Chen Qiu leaned his head against hers and said, "We've only been apart for a quarter of an hour! I haven't had time to think about you yet, and you're here."
Ye Chen seemed to be eating honey, and he leaned his forehead against Chen Qiu's and said, "If I come a little later, will you miss me?"
"But I can't wait any longer. I just saw you go out with my mother-in-law and grandmother, and you didn't even look back at me. I missed you right then, so I ran over here after talking to my grandfather."
Then, Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu again: "Qiu'er, can I kiss you again?"
Chen Qiu glared at Ye Chen and said, "This is at my mother's house. Be more restrained. We'll have dinner soon."
This will make people see what's going on. How embarrassing!
Ye Chen smiled, hugged Chen Qiu tightly, and said: "Okay, let's go home and kiss again."
Chen Qiu reached out and pinched Ye Chen's waist, but Ye Chen laughed even more wantonly.
