Seeing Wang Yuhan getting shy, the Xin Wang Crown Prince's wife laughed and said, "That's right. Look at my step-concubine mother-in-law. When I first got married, she was also very critical of me. Then, six months later, when I got pregnant with my son, she started to criticize me for no reason."
Wang Hanyu lowered her eyes and said softly, "I just got married. It's too early for this."
The wife of the Marquis of Xinyang said, "How can it be too early? You are newly married and your relationship is good. Don't be stupid. You must seize the opportunity."
"Okay, don't say it anymore. I'll save you the trouble."
The wife of the Marquis of Xinyang and the Xin Wang Crown Prince's wife looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The day of Guining passed quickly, and before dark, Wang Hanyu and Xue Qin prepared to return to the Duke of Qing's mansion.
The wife of the Marquis of Xinyang prepared gifts for everyone in the Duke of Qing's mansion. In particular, after hearing Wang Hanyu mention that Zheng Xiu took special care of her, the gift prepared for Zheng Xiu was a bit heavier than before, a double-sided table screen embroidered with bamboo and orchids. Although it is not big, it was made by the best embroiderer in Jiangnan. Not to mention that the bamboo and orchids are pregnant, even the small flowers and butterflies on it are lifelike.
Xue Qin and Wang Hanyu's uncles and brothers had a meal and their faces were a little red, so they did not ride horses, but got into the carriage with her.
After the carriage started, Wang Hanyu saw Xue Qin's face was red, so he said angrily: "You can't drink as much as my father, why do you drink so much?"
Xue Qin smiled and said: "My father-in-law and his family are elders, I can't refuse their kindness."
After a few days of getting along, Wang Hanyu finally saw clearly that he was like this, kind to the point of not knowing how to reject others.
"You can't do this," Wang Hanyu said, "If you keep giving in, others will only get more and more."
Xue Qin said indifferently: "My father-in-law and his family are your family, and also my family, they can't be considered 'others'."
Wang Hanyu frowned and said: "You know I'm not just talking about this matter."
"Okay, I know. I know what to do with outsiders."
He agreed to this, but Wang Hanyu also knew that people's temperaments cannot be changed in a day or two. But thinking that she would always be by his side and could often supervise him, she felt relieved. Seeing that he was indeed drunk, she put a round flower pillow behind him and said softly, "Lie down and rest for a while. I'll call you when we get there."
Xue Qin responded softly, lay down and closed his eyes.
Wang Hanyu was beside him, gently massaging his temples.
The carriage rumbled and drove slowly towards the mansion of the Duke of Qing.
When they arrived at the door, Wang Hanyu called Xue Qin to get up.
She had been used to riding a horse since she was a child, and she also learned boxing from her father for several years. She lifted the curtain without anyone's help and jumped down by herself.
Xue Qin hurriedly said, "Go slowly."
Wang Hanyu smiled indifferently and stretched out her hand to him, "Come, I'll help you."
Seeing that she didn't need help, Xue Qin naturally refused, asked the servant to put a low stool, and stepped down.
Wang Hanyu couldn't help but tease him, "I see that my second uncle and others all practice martial arts, why do you seem to have never learned it?"
Xue Qin's ears blushed, and he said unnaturally, "I did learn it for a few years, but my mother didn't want me to follow the path of military merit, so she urged me to study, so I put it aside."
Wang Hanyu nodded, thinking that Princess Guihe had such a plan. No wonder she heard the servants mention that Princess Guihe originally had her eyes on the girl from Li Xueshi's family.
The two of them walked into the mansion of Duke Qingguo, and first went to Changfeng Garden to pay respects to Princess Guihe, and also delivered the gifts that the wife of Marquis Xinyang asked them to bring back for Princess Guihe and Xue Mian.
Princess Guihe only asked someone to receive the gift list without reading it, and then asked Xue Qin about the situation of the Marquis Xinyang Mansion, and Xue Qin told them one by one.
After learning about their itinerary for the day, Princess Guihe didn't say much, just said that she was tired, and asked them to go back and rest early. She didn't even invite them to have dinner together.
Xue Qin naturally knew that his mother was not happy about this marriage, so he comforted Wang Hanyu when he returned to Xiyayuan, saying, "This is mother's personality, you don't have to take it to heart. She was like this when Second Aunt just came back. But after getting to know each other for a while, mother became very kind to Second Aunt."
Although Wang Hanyu felt a little uncomfortable, she nodded and said, "I don't need to worry about it."
Xue Qin observed her expression and saw that she was not unhappy, so he said nothing more and asked someone to set the table.
After dinner, it was getting late, and Wang Hanyu was anxious to take a bath and wash up, so she asked Mo Yun and Bi Tao to pack the gifts for the second room and send them over immediately.
When Mo Yun and Bi Tao arrived at Hao Yetang, Zheng Xiu and Xue Zhi had already washed up, changed into casual clothes, and sat on the kang to talk.
When they heard that Mo Yun and Bi Tao were coming, they let everyone in.
Mo Yun and Bi Tao bowed before entering the room. Mo Yun said, "Madam asked us to bring gifts to the Second Master and Second Madam. I hope the Second Master and Second Madam will not be disgusted."
Although the number of gifts prepared by the wife of the Marquis of Xinyang for the Second House was not as much as that for Princess Guihe, they were all very elaborate. There was no need to mention the table screen. There was also a revolving lantern with exquisite workmanship that could be placed on the table for viewing and was very eye-catching. It was said that it was prepared for Xue Shao.
Zheng Xiu liked everything after seeing it, so she smiled and said, "Thank the wife of the Marquis of Xinyang and your wife for me." After
the two maids delivered the gifts, they did not stay for long. They bowed and went back to reply.
After they left, Xue Zhi saw Zheng Xiu still fiddling with those things, and couldn't help but laugh: "A few gifts can make you so happy? It seems that I have to find some things to please you."
Zheng Xiu looked at him with a reproachful look, "What do you know? Look at the gifts prepared by the wife of the Marquis of Xinyang, and you will know that Hanyu didn't say much about the faults of the mansion after returning."
The wife of the Marquis of Xinyang naturally knew that her daughter was living well, so she gave so many carefully prepared things. Xue Zhi
laughed, "That's not necessarily true, maybe she said it, but she only mentioned your good points, so the gifts she gave us are particularly rich."
Zheng Xiu also laughed, "Hanyu is not that kind of person."
"It's only been a few days, and you have even understood her temperament and character?" Xue Zhi thought Zheng Xiu was a little silly, always thinking that everyone was so good.
"A few days will be enough." Zheng Xiu was still quite confident in her judgment of people.
Xue Zhi looked at her with a helpless smile, and then heard her say, "Didn't I decide to marry you not long after I met you? Could it be that I was wrong?"
Xue Zhi nodded in agreement, "My Ah Xiu really has a good eye!"
Zheng Xiu couldn't help but spit at him, "Shameless."
The 'shameless' Xue Zhi smiled as he put on his shoes and got down to the ground, then he picked her up and said, "Since my Ah Xiu said so, I'm really shameless for once!"
Zheng Xiu smiled and patted his shoulders, and was soon carried to the bed by him.
The curtain fell, and the laughter of the two was separated.
