Chapter 900 Confession and Return [4]

Aunt Qin smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll take care of him and help grandma vent her anger."

Guan Shuli showed a helpless look: "As both of us are women, it turns out that my grandmother and my wife are on the same side."

Madam Guan nodded in agreement: "That's right, we are on the same side, so in this family from now on, you should be sensible and just give the household expenses, and don't meddle in our affairs, understand?"

Ah this?

Is it a bit over the top?

Although Qin Xiaogu thought so, she felt relaxed physically and mentally, and was very grateful that the Guan family's grandparents and grandchildren cared so much about her feelings.

We finished our breakfast happily.

Madam Guan also told Nanny Chen: "My in-laws must be worried about the new bride. Bring some red silk gifts and tell them the good news so that they can feel more at ease."

Anyway, we are close, so I can just run over and tell them. There is no need to wait until the next morning to return home and make the Qin family worry for another day.

Aunt Qin was very grateful and stood up and said, "Thank you, Grandma."

Madam Guan: "Why thank you? We are grandparents and grandchildren."

Nanny Chen then responded: "Yes, I will go and tell you the good news right away."

Nanny Chen quickly packed out a box of sugar and a box of tea, wrapped them in red silk cloth, and went to the Qin family.

When passers-by saw the red silk gift, they knew it was good news.

When Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin saw the red silk gift, they felt relieved, knowing that their daughter was living well in the Guan family.

Nanny Chen did not stay long and quickly returned to Guan's house to prepare for the matchmaker's banquet.

At noon, Mrs. Kang came to Guan's house and had a thank-you banquet at the house. Her work as a matchmaker was successfully completed.

After the meal, Old Lady Guan asked Lady Kang to stay: "Madam, it's rare for you to come here, why don't you stay in town for a while longer."

Mrs. Kang agreed after a few polite words and did not take her daughter back to the county town immediately.

By staying in the town, he could, on the one hand, accompany his son Kang Lang, and on the other hand, find some marriage candidates for his daughter.

After all, there are so many students in Taizhou Academy, and many of them are from prominent families. It would be a shame if you don’t take a look!

Mrs. Kang did not stay long. After finishing the thank-you banquet, she sat for a while and then went back to her temporary residence next door.

The Guan family became completely free.

Old Madam Guan also let the newlyweds be alone, saying that they were tired and needed to sleep in to replenish their energy.

Shuli Guan took Qin Xiaogu to stroll around the backyard and see the peonies he had brought from the county town. The couple sat in recliners, admiring the flowers and occasionally looking at the flocks of birds flying south for the winter in the sky.

Then there was silence.

The three ladies from Qinghe Mountain who were waiting by the side: "..."

Why do the two masters seem to be preparing for retirement early?

Isn't this quite right?

Aren’t newlyweds supposed to be more passionate?

The three ladies hurriedly stopped thinking and just waited by the side.

From now on, they would belong to Qin Xiaogu, so Old Lady Guan gave the death indentures of the three people to Qin Xiaogu.

After Qin Xiaogu got the three of them, she rejected Qin Xiaomi's proposal to give Xiao Lao Ma, Zhu Sanhong, Xiao Chenyue and Xiao Shashen as her dowry.

Her mother's family had just started to rise, so it was not easy to get a group of useful servants. The Guan family had a solid foundation, so she didn't need to take useful servants from her mother's family for the sake of her own dignity. She could just use the Guan family's servants directly.

Qin Xiaogu was really tired and fell asleep in the recliner.

The clerk did not disturb her. He brought a blanket, covered Qin Xiaogu with it, and then stayed by her side to watch over her.

I would look at her from time to time, and a smile would appear in my eyes.

After half past the afternoon, Qin Xiaogu woke up and insisted on making another dinner for her family. Guan Shuli accompanied Qin Xiaogu to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Both of them were responsible for daily living, washing pots, lighting fires, washing, cutting and cooking vegetables, and they did everything in an orderly manner.

The three ladies from Qinghe Mountain: "..."

Those who don’t know would think that the two masters have been married for ten years.

Nanny Chen reported the situation to Madam Guan.

Old Madam Guan was so pleased that her eyes turned red: "God has been very kind to us."

Finally, a good wife was given to my grandson, so he doesn't have to live his life alone.

Madam Guan added, "Make arrangements to sort out my dowry, shop, property, personnel and connections, etc. It's time to hand them over to my granddaughter-in-law to take care of them."

He actually gave all his wealth to his new wife the day after they got married!

Nanny Chen thought that they had to wait until the new bride gave birth to a child.

Nanny Chen was startled for a moment, but quickly calmed down and replied respectfully, "Yes, I will arrange it starting today."

"Yes." Madam Guan nodded and said, "Come on, help me out. I want to taste the food cooked by my granddaughter-in-law. What a good child. She even knows how to cook for an old woman like me."

Aunt Chen: "..."

You didn't take the words "Uncle, let's cook together" into account at all.

Guan the clerk was afraid that Qin Xiaogu would be too tired, so he only asked her to cook three home-cooked dishes and steam a tray of new wheat buns, on the grounds that Guan's family could not eat too much.

But these three home-cooked dishes are not home-cooked at all. They are stir-fried lotus root slices, fresh edamame stewed with bacon, and braised chicken with dried bamboo shoots, which are rare in the Northeast.

Lotus root, bacon, and dried bamboo shoots are almost all not from the Northeast, but shipped from other places. Just from these few home-cooked dishes, you can see the Guan family's heritage.

Old Madam Guan and Clerk Guan also wanted to use this to tell Qin Xiaogu about the differences at home so that she could slowly adapt.

After finishing their dinner, the family of three prepared the gifts for tomorrow's return visit.

As Qin Xiaogu looked at the gifts that the Guan family's grandparents and grandchildren prepared for her, her heart was filled with warmth and she felt more and more a sense of belonging to this new home.

The Qin family is also preparing for the return banquet for Aunt Qin tomorrow.

The Qin and Jiang families, a total of ten people, worked together to plan the menu.

Qin Xiaomi just said, "We just had a banquet, and everyone's stomachs are full. We must have some cold sprouts to whet our appetite."

Jiang Xiaozhu said: "There must be meat dishes. How can a bride return home without lots of meat dishes? Her husband's family will look down on her!"

Qin Xiaomi smiled: "You are the one who worries the most. As for my sister-in-law's dowry, as for our family's meritorious service and official titles, and the fact that we have met the Duke, how dare my husband's family look down on it?"

Grandma Qin said to her, "Xiaomi, don't say such things. If someone hears it, it will ruin your relationship."

"Yes, yes, grandma, don't worry, I won't say anything more." Qin Xiaomi mentioned the names of a few more dishes and discussed them enthusiastically with her family.

Jiang Dalang was quite sad... Guan Shuli and his sister-in-law were married, but there was no progress between him and Su Su. After some time, when the county martial arts hall was established and stable, he would have to leave.

From now on, I’m afraid coming back three times a year would be considered the most.

They meet three times a year, and Jiang Dalang/Sheng Ting can't imagine how far Su Su can forget him.

Don’t be impatient, don’t be impatient. Haste will lead to mistakes and expose flaws.

Jiang Dalang suppressed his inner impatience and forced himself into the army of people who were drafting recipes.

The next day, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin got up before daybreak. The two elders dressed up specially, looking rich and energetic. They received a lot of praise from Jiang Xiaozhu, and they were so happy that they couldn't believe it.

The Guan family knew that Qin Xiaogu missed home very much, so they also got up early in the morning. After breakfast, Mrs. Guan asked the couple to take the return gift and take a car to the Qin family.

Because it was a visit to relatives' home, the mule cart was hung with red silk and red lanterns, which looked very festive. People could tell at first glance that the cart was going to celebrate a wedding.

……

"Oh, fifth brother and sister-in-law, the new son-in-law is here!" Qin Liupo was very enthusiastic because as the elder of the bride's family, she could get gifts from the groom's family today.

The gift from the Guan family must be valuable, so of course she had to be proactive and enthusiastic.

The Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao families also gathered at Grandpa Qin's and Grandma Qin's house, waiting for the new son-in-law to arrive.
