"Uncle's little Shu'er is finally back. He has lost weight in the past few days since you were away." As soon as he saw Murong Shu and Wen Jing coming in, Mousse hurried over to greet them and show off.
Murong Shu and Wen Jing bowed to the elders and received their warm blessings. After the greetings, Murong Shu and Yueyue were left behind, while Wen Jing was taken to the study by others.
Song Wei and Rong Qing kept holding Murong Shu's hands. Song Wei felt relieved when she saw her daughter's face blushing.
"Shu'er, are you doing okay in the Wen Mansion?" Rong Qing couldn't help but ask.
"Mother, Second Aunt, don't worry. Shu'er is doing fine. Her husband is gentle, her mother-in-law is kind, and her sisters-in-law are very kind and take good care of her."
Murong Shu knew what his mother and second aunt were worried about, and explained to them with a smile.
"That's good, that's good. I'll be relieved if you and your husband are doing well!" Song Wei held her daughter's hand with loving eyes.
Song Wei was relieved when she learned that her daughter was living happily in the Wen Mansion. There were still guests to be entertained, so Song Wei asked her daughter and Yueyue to return to Ningyuan to rest first, and she and Rong Qing went to the front hall to greet the guests.
Murong Shu did not return to Ningyuan with Yueyue, but went to the master's yard. Shan Gu Taoist and Third Uncle were very happy to see their beloved disciples coming.
"Xiao Shu'er, you're finally back." Third Uncle came forward happily, and his mood improved a little when he saw Murong Shu.
"Third Uncle, what are you busy with? Why don't you come to the front yard to find us?" Yueyue felt that it was normal for the master to stay in the yard, but it was somewhat strange that Third Uncle stayed in the yard obediently.
"It's all because of you, bad girl. You took away the health-enhancing pills that I made for your brother-in-law Wen. I was busy making some more." The three siblings glared at Yueyue unhappily.
"Yueyue didn't know that it was a gift for my brother-in-law. She thought it was something delicious that Third Uncle-Master had just made, so she took it away." Yueyue felt a little guilty. She took it away just because she saw that Third Uncle-Master had made something new.
"Then give it back to me first. We'll give it to you first. If you like, Third Uncle will do it for you later."
Third Uncle immediately ran to Yueyue to discuss the matter with him.
"Third Uncle Master may not be able to do it." Yueyue felt a little guilty.
"What do you mean by not very good?" Third Uncle felt that Yueyue was fooling him.
"Because Yueyue has given it away." The little girl said in a low voice, fearing that her third uncle would beat her.
Third Uncle was confused. It had only been a short while since he gave it away. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who did you give it to?"
"Brother-in-law's nephew!" The little girl looked pitiful, and Third Uncle instantly lost his temper and didn't want to be mean to Yueyue at all.
"Just give it to him. Third Uncle doesn't blame you. I'll make something better for your brother-in-law Wen later." Third Uncle waved his hands helplessly. He spoiled himself.
"Third Master Uncle is so nice. Yueyue likes him the most!" Yueyue was very happy when she heard that Third Master Uncle didn't blame her anymore. Every time she made a mistake, as long as she looked at Third Master Uncle with pitiful eyes, Third Master Uncle would quickly forgive her.
"That's better than enough. Next time Third Uncle does it, don't be naughty. It's to regulate your brother-in-law's body so that he and your sister can give birth to your nephew as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
Third Uncle knew that Yueyue liked children, so he used this reason to seduce her.
"Will she be as cute as the baby of my eldest sister-in-law and eldest brother?" Yueyue likes Liu Ruyan and Mu Sishu's daughter very much, and goes to Liu Ruyan's yard to see the child every day.
"Of course. Your senior sister and brother-in-law Wen are both good-looking, so the baby they give birth to will definitely be good-looking." Third Uncle was very confident about this.
"Yueyue promises not to take your pills this time. Yueyue will help you collect herbs later." When the girl heard that she could give birth to a beautiful child, her attitude immediately changed and she became very positive.
The two of them were chatting happily there, while Shan Gu Taoist and Murong Shu were sitting in the yard drinking tea, smiling as they watched the two people having fun.
"Your Third Uncle's bad temper has almost been cured by Yueyue!"
"Third Uncle is a very nice person, we all like him!" Murong Shu poured another cup of tea for his master, and the master and disciple smiled at each other.
"Third Uncle, Yueyue, come and try my new tea!" Murong Shu called out to the two of them. They stopped discussing the matter of the pills and ran over happily.
Murong Shu had been here with her master and third uncle the whole morning. She knew that after attending her return banquet, her master and his party would set off back to Tianmen Mountain. Murong Shu was reluctant to leave and cherished this warm time very much.
It was not until the servants came to inform the front hall that the banquet was ready that the few of them followed the servants to the front hall.
The preparations for the return banquet were very splendid. Rong Qing was even more generous for his little niece and asked Master Rong to directly send all the chefs from the Rong Family Restaurant over.
This time, the brothers from Tianmen Mountain got to see what delicacies from mountains and seas are like.
If the Wen family's banquet could be described as perfect, then today's banquet at the General's Mansion was flawless, and the guests were amazed.
What they didn't know was that many chefs had cooked the recipes given by Murong Shu, and they were very grateful to Murong Shu. When they heard that it was Murong Shu's return banquet, they all brought out their best skills.
Today, Wen Jing is the new son-in-law and also an honored guest, so the Yue family needs to hold a banquet to entertain him. Moreover, the new son-in-law must take the seat of honor, and the bride's side will send elders to accompany him for drinks. This is the essence of the return banquet.
It represents that a married daughter will not forget the grace of her parents' upbringing, while a son-in-law is thanking his parents-in-law. It also represents the love and beauty of a newlywed couple.
The banquets for men and women were separated by a screen, but it was still very lively.
Wen Yu was taken away after he came to the general's mansion and saw Mu Siyu. Now he was sitting at the same table with Mu Siyu and his brothers, and they were taking good care of him.
"Ayu, I recently got a rare book. Why don't you go back today? Let's study it together in the evening, okay?" Mu Siyu was reluctant to let Wen Yu go home, so he took out the rare book to keep him.
When Wen Yu heard that there was a rare copy, he was a little tempted, but he didn't dare to make a decision on his own. He looked at Mu Siyu's expectant eyes and whispered, "I want to ask my third uncle and aunt."
When Mu Siyu heard that there was a chance, he whispered to him, "Does your third uncle have a position in your family?"
Wen Yu nodded vigorously, and Mu Siyu blinked and said, "You can go talk to my fifth sister first, and let her talk to your third uncle directly. Our two families are relatives now, so it won't be a problem for you to stay for a few days."
Wen Yu felt that what Mu Siyu said made a lot of sense, so after the banquet, he immediately went to find his third aunt to tell her about it.
Murong Shu was very supportive. He believed that children should have their own social circle, and Yu'er had too few friends.
So when Murong Shu and Wen Jing returned home, they did not take Wen Yu with them. Wen Jing was very happy because without his little nephew acting as a light bulb, he could hug his wife.
When Mrs. Wen returned to the Wen family, she was shocked to learn that her son stayed at the Mu family. Is this really okay? It would be fine if he took him home, but he stayed as a guest.
Before going to bed at night, Madam Wen told Wen Zhi about this matter. Wen Zhi said nonchalantly, "Madam, don't worry about it. My third brother and his wife are both sensible people and love Yu'er very much. Let's go to bed early."
Mrs. Wen thought about it and soon fell asleep while resting her head on Wen Zhi’s arm.
