Chapter 515 So Cute
After a while, Mrs. Zhou returned from the farm to recuperate.
Someone was specially sent to the Prince Xiang's Mansion in advance to deliver a letter, inviting Liao Jiu and others to come back for a meal. The Zhou family would also be there, as a way to welcome Madam Zhou and have some fun together to get rid of the bad luck.
Liao Jiu discussed it with Jiang Lianzhu, and Jiang Lianzhu specially went to the Qingning Marquis Mansion for half a day to support Madam Zhou.
There were always people queuing up at the clinic every day. Jiang Lianzhu wanted to close the clinic for a break, and had to write a public notice in advance. As a result, as soon as it was written, many people complained, saying that they had been waiting for several days, were sick, and needed to be postponed. There was no way, Jiang Lianzhu could only open for half a day, and compress all 20 patients into half a day in the morning.
Let Liao Jiu go back to Qingning Marquis Mansion first, and she will bring Nanbao there at lunch time.
Liao Jiu didn't go. "If you want to go, let's go together. I'll go back alone first. If you're late, people will just say you're arrogant and won't understand how busy you are. Let's go together at lunchtime. Let's send someone to explain things to mother first. I'm sure she'll understand."
"OK."
I was busy until noon, finished looking at the day's issues, and then closed the museum.
Taking their daughter with them, carrying gifts, some food and drinks, as well as tonics and medicinal herbs, the family of three took a carriage to the Qingning Marquis Mansion.
On the way, Jiang Lianzhu repeatedly reminded her daughter.
"When you enter the house, you must call Madam Zhou grandma. She is your father Liao Jiu's mother. We are the younger generation and cannot be disrespectful to her. She scolded us like that before because she was sick. Now that she is well, she should not scold us anymore. We must respect her and respect the elderly and love the young. Didn't the teacher teach you that?"
I’m afraid that Nanbao will call me a nasty mother-in-law and everyone will be embarrassed.
Nanbao nodded. She was still carrying her small fish basket, which contained the fish she had caught herself.
"I know. My brother has already told me. I sent her some fish..."
Liao Jiu patted his head and said, "Good boy."
When we arrived at the Marquis of Qingning's Mansion, there were tall lanterns hanging at the door and the gate had been repainted red, giving it a brand new look.
There were several carriages from the Zhou Mansion parked there, and the Zhou family had already arrived.
Liao Jiu helped his wife and held his daughter in his arms as they got off the carriage.
When Butler Liao saw them, he quickly came over and welcomed them in.
"Master, you're here! Duke Zhou, Prime Minister Zhou, Madam Zhou, and the young master of the Zhou family are all here... They were just asking if you were here."
He is an old housekeeper. After Liao Jiu's layers of screening, the old people who are still able to stay are absolutely trustworthy.
Liao Jiu hummed, "There's a lot going on. Is my cousin here too?"
"Here he is! My cousin is so handsome. I haven't seen him for a long time. When I saw him today, I almost didn't recognize him. The young man has changed so much and is becoming more and more outstanding." Butler Liao praised him a lot.
Jiang Lianzhu thought to herself that she was in for a treat today. She had long admired Liao Jiu's cousin Zhou Yuan but had never had the chance to meet him.
"This must be Miss Nianbao! She is beautiful, cute and blessed. Master, come, let me hold the child for you..." Butler Liao wanted to take Nianbao from Liao Jiu's hands, but he was worried about his master's wound. He was afraid that he would get tired holding a child like this, especially one that looked so heavy.
As a result, Nanbao turned her head away and refused to let him hold her.
"Go away, I just want my dad to hold me!"
The voice is crisp and clear, without any awkwardness.
Butler Liao laughed, "Master, Madam, please come in, please..."
Entered the inner courtyard.
Sure enough, the Zhou family was already there, drinking tea and waiting in the main hall.
Mrs. Zhou sat in the main seat. She looked to be in good spirits, with a smile on her face, talking to her family.
When Liao Jiu and his family of three entered, the sounds of talking and laughing in the main hall paused slightly.
The smile on Mrs. Zhou's face also paused, and her eyes fell on Jiang Lianzhu. If it were in the past, she would definitely glare at her with a big eye roll.
Today, it just fell a little and then was taken back.
Liao Jiu first greeted all the elders present, and then introduced Jiang Lianzhu to everyone.
"...This is my wife, Jiang Lianzhu. This is the first time she's seen all the elders since I married her. Daughter-in-law, come and pay your respects to your grandfather, uncle, and aunt..."
Jiang Lianzhu was graceful and polite, greeting everyone.
Duke Zhou stroked his beard and nodded with a friendly expression.
Prime Minister Zhou also looked at Jiang Lianzhu again and again, without saying anything. His serious expression relaxed a little.
As for the mistress of the Zhou family, she had never seen Jiang Lianzhu before, but had only heard of her.
This is the first time I've met her. She seems like a good girl. Her appearance, manners and demeanor are all good.
When I first heard about a second marriage with three children, I automatically imagined an old, haggard woman.
In fact, it is totally wrong.
This Shui Lingling is as pretty as any of the other daughters in the Zhou family, and even has a more graceful demeanor. It's obvious that she has seen the world.
And in terms of age, he is a few years younger than Liao Jiu.
Smiling,
"Yes, it looks very suitable. Okay, we didn't have the chance to attend your wedding, so today is the first time for the new bride to meet you. Come, I'll give you a welcome gift. I don't have anything prepared. Next time you have the chance, come to our Zhou Mansion and I'll give you a generous gift."
As he spoke, the servant brought over a large plate that had been prepared long ago.
On the plate, there is a pair of jade bracelets as clear as water. The quality and transparency of the jade bracelets are obviously not ordinary ones.
There is also a pair of gold pearl hairpins, which are finely crafted and intricately shaped like mandarin ducks holding pearls. The hairpin bodies and handles are made of gold, and the pearl strings are all top-quality natural oriental pearls.
There is also a ruyi inlaid with gold and jade, with auspicious clouds carved on it that are lifelike. It is also a valuable item.
…
This is obviously a case of coming prepared. To call it unprepared is purely a compliment.
Jiang Lianzhu felt it was a bit valuable and felt embarrassed to accept it.
She was not familiar with the Zhou family at all. Liao Jiu said, "It is a gift from my aunt, so we will accept it. It is a gift from an elder, so I dare not refuse it."
"Thank you very much, Grandpa, uncle, and aunt." Jiang Lianzhu bowed deeply and accepted it.
When the money-loving Nanbao saw it, she greeted him and said there were gifts for him.
Without waiting for Liao Jiu to introduce her, she nimbly ran to Duke Zhou, Prime Minister Zhou, and the mistress of the Zhou family, bowed and saluted in a proper manner.
"Nanbao pays her respects to her great-grandfather, her uncle, and her aunt!"
The obvious desire on that little round face made everyone laugh. It was so cute.
Moreover, no one taught her, but she mastered a few titles perfectly and called them all correctly.
The mistress of the Zhou family was also well prepared. She took out a big gold ingot from her bosom, which was as big as her daughter's fist!
"Okay, my daughter also has a gift, take it and play with it..."
Nanbao's mouth was watering. Gold! Glittering gold!
He stepped forward to take it and said, "Thank you, Auntie, you are so kind!"
The good guy cards have started to be distributed.
