Early that morning, Saitama packed some gifts and took Magpie to the carriage back to her parents' house. The old lady was overjoyed to hear the news that Saitama was coming back the day before. When I got up early in the morning, I ordered someone to make Saitama's favorite sweets, and I asked people to wait at the gate to greet Saitama.

Liu was grateful for Saiyu's help to Qiying that day, so naturally there were no complaints, everything went according to the old lady's wishes. This is not the case with the Wang family, who is more jealous and hateful for Saitama. If it weren't for her own daughter, how could she have taken that medicine by mistake, so that she would have to raise a child who was not her own flesh and blood.

Looking at the old lady's restless appearance, Liu said:

"Mother, don't worry, it will take a while for Sister Yu to come over. Do you think that she used the meal, said goodbye to the elders, and had to send Brother Tong to come over?"

"I know, it's just that I haven't seen this girl for a long time, and I don't know if I'm doing well. ”

"Mother, I think you are too worried, it is rumored all over the capital that my uncle has a deep affection for Yu'er, and she has not even had a room for a few years, how can Sister Yu'er have a bad life. Among my daughters, Sister Yu is also the best to marry. Wang said cool words.

The old lady said in her heart that the marriage of Qi Jiao and Qi Yun was not handled by you, and this time it was not good to dislike it, it was really self-inflicted.

"Alright, alright. Mother, if you don't rest first, Sister Yu is here, and I will call you. Seeing that the old lady's face was not good, Liu hurriedly played a round.

"No need, what about Brother Hong?" Brother Hong is Aunt Liang's child, and he has always been raised by the old lady, Zhang Hou is more attentive to this child, and personally supervises his homework, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for Aunt Liang, after all, it is his favorite woman.

"At this time, it must be at the master's place, and the master doesn't know much about Brother Hong's pediatrics than he was about Brother Xiao at that time. "Wang's is a little sour.

"It's inevitable, the old man is a little pet. Liu said.

At this time, someone came to report that the second aunt and grandmother had returned. The old lady stood up happily and said without stopping:

"Please come in yet!"

Surrounded by a group of servants, Saitama entered the old lady's Zhengtokudo. When the old lady saw Saitama, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Hold Saitama tightly in your arms. Saitama was also sad, but in order to avoid the old lady being too sad, she still held back her sadness and said with a smile:

"Grandmother. Yu'er is not back, don't be sad. ”

"Yes, mother, it's a good thing that Sister Yu is back, and it's not easy for a child like you to feel bad. Liu Shi was also comforting on the side, and the old lady collected her tears. Saitama revisited the old lady, her mother, and her aunt. I met Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiao's daughter-in-law one by one. Among them, Zhang Xiao's daughter-in-law Yang Wen and Saitama are more familiar, and they were in one place when they were in Shandong. Yang Wen's temperament is lively, and he was a close friend in the boudoir back then, so he took Saitama's hand and said:

"The second sister hasn't changed at all, it's still the same as it was back then. When you come back, we'll be in the same place again. Saitama smiled and nodded, she also liked this lively and cheerful brother and daughter-in-law.

"Wen'er, you are also a person with a body now, why are you so careless, you don't sit down and rest. It's like a child. Wang didn't like to see his daughter-in-law and Saitama walking too close, so he stopped him. Yang Wen then let go of Saitama and returned to his seat.

The old lady called Saitama to sit down beside her, and looked carefully. I found that Saitama had a ruddy complexion and a good complexion, and at first glance, she was well raised in the confinement and did not have any disease roots, so I was relieved. Liu saw that Saitama was wearing a garnet-red silk satin jacket, with a jade-colored folded flower skirt underneath, and a red gold and rubies dotted emerald step on her head. On his ears were two ruby earbuds the size of beans, and on his hands were just a pair of crystal clear white jade bracelets. It looks simple, but all of them are treasures, and they are all the most fashionable tricks in the capital. I can't help but think of my Qi Ying in a small remote county, how can there be such a scenery. But then I thought about Qi Ying's recent letter. The tone is quite relaxed, and Xianggong also listens to her, and it seems that he is doing well. The person I sent said the same when I came back, and my aunt and grandmother looked much better than when they were in the capital.

Zhang Ji's wife, Feng, had long heard of her second aunt and grandmother, but she was not familiar with it. But I still think that she is married to the second young master of the Guogong Mansion. has a good reputation, but it's not very good inside, not to mention that the second young man of the Guogong Mansion is a prodigal son. Who knows that after all these years, she has become the wife of the prince, and what makes the noblewomen in the capital even more envious is that which former prodigal son has a deep affection for his wife, and has no children for two years, and still refuses to even accept a room, all of which makes that woman not envious. Who knew that this aunt was very lucky, not only gave birth to a son, but also named Mrs. Yipin, and looked like a girl.

Feng was thinking wildly, but heard Saitama order someone to bring in the gift he had brought. For the old lady was a pair of dragon head crutches, a string of one hundred and eight jade Buddha beads, and two fine silk satins. There are not many things but they are exquisite, and such jade Buddha beads are also very good in the palace, which shows that Saitama has a rich family background, and Feng can't help but secretly admire.

For the Liu family and the Wang family, one person has ten fine southern pearls and one silk satin. For the Feng and Yang families, one person was a phoenix hairpin with a southern pearl and a silk satin. Everyone thanked and greeted, and the maids came up with tea and snacks.

"Yu'er has been gone for a year, but she thinks badly of her grandmother. Liu said.

"Yu'er misses her grandmother too. Saitama replied, and the old lady smiled and stroked Saitama's hair.

"Auntie, how is the eldest sister? I heard that the eldest brother-in-law has been released. Saitama asked Yanagi with concern.

"She's doing well now, saying she's pregnant again, so I didn't send someone to take care of her. ”

"That's good, the big sister can be regarded as boiling out. ”

"It's not, it's a shame for you to relieve her at the beginning, otherwise she wouldn't know how she is doing, Ying'er is grateful to you from the bottom of her heart. The last time I said that when the second aunt fell into the enemy camp, she was in a hurry, but fortunately, it was a misunderstanding in the end. ”

"Yes, I was also in a hurry at that time, and I still had a big belly. It's finally over. Saitama remembered that when she heard that Li Yi didn't know her life and death, she also had palpitations.

Among all the people present, Wang was the only one who heard this, and his heart was annoyed. She didn't expect Zhang Hou to hide from her and bring Li Yi to Qingcheng. After returning to Beijing, he praised Li Yi to the emperor and helped him take the position of the prince.

The Wang family originally thought that this time the Li family was hated by the emperor and fell all of a sudden, which could be regarded as a bad breath for himself. Who knew that after this time, Li Yi would be favored by the emperor. When he went to question Zhang Hou, Zhang Hou actually said that he was not a poor young man, and Li Yi was not a thing in the pool at first glance. Why bother to fall into the well at this time, maybe you will need him when you will need him. Wang didn't dare to get angry at Zhang Hou, so he could only hold back the fire in his stomach and be extremely depressed. At this time, when Liu mentioned this matter, she naturally felt uncomfortable. couldn't help but say cool words:

"To say that our sister Yu is also a good fate, who would have thought that such a good thing would happen and suddenly become the wife of the prince. I still remember that Sister Yu said that she was reluctant to enter the high gate, and now she looks proud, do you say that there is something wrong. Wang's words were said with a smile, which sounded like a joke at first glance, but Saitama couldn't see the slightest smile in her eyes, full of resentment and unwillingness. Saitama also smiled and said:

"Mother, I owe this to you, if it weren't for your discernment. I chose such a good family for me, how could I be where I am today?"

Saitama's words were also sarcastic for the Wang family stealing chickens and rice, and at that time, in order to harm himself, he insisted on marrying himself into the Guogong Mansion, but who would have thought that he had achieved a good relationship of his own. Wang didn't say anything in front of the old lady, but he snorted coldly and stopped saying anything with a straight face.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Feng came in and said that the banquet was ready, and everyone was invited to come over for dinner. Only then did Saitama carry the old lady and slowly walk towards the dining room. After everyone sat down, someone outside said:

"The third young master and the fourth young master are here. "The third young master, Brother Bao, is now studying with the gentleman invited by the family, but he is not like his brother Zhang Xiao. I don't care about my studies, but I like to dance and play with guns, and I always don't like Zhang Hou, which is a headache for Wang.

The fourth young master is Aunt Liang's son, Brother Hong. Although he is young, he is already enlightened, because he is smart and studious, and he is deeply loved by Zhang Hou.

"Brother Bao and Brother Hong have grown so big. Saitama said, while ordering someone to present them with a gift, but it was nothing more than a pen and ink inkstone or something. The relationship between the Saitama sisters is not very good, but the relationship with these brothers is not bad. Brother Bao and Brother Hong both thanked Saitama. Saluted.

Because Bao Ge'er was old, he divided the yard by himself, so he went out after asking for peace. Brother Hong was still young, and he followed the old lady, so he also sat down to eat together.

The family finished their meal happily and dispersed. Saitama accompanied the old lady back to her room to rest. The maids changed the tea and then withdrew, leaving only Saitama and the old lady in the room.

"Seeing that you are doing well, my grandmother is relieved. The old lady looked at Saitama and said with relief.

"Grandmother, don't worry, I'm doing well, and my husband treats me well. ”

"I can see that you have come to the bitter end. ”

"Grandmother, in fact, Yu'er still has something to ask for today?"

"What is it?" asked the old lady with concern.

"It's the Duchess of the Kingdom who said that the prince has sealed the prince and wants to have a banquet at home, and she handed over this matter to me, but I don't know where to start. ”

"Is she deliberately trying to make things difficult for you?" asked the old lady, and Saitama nodded.

"This can also be thought of, she always feels that Xianggong should not be the son of the world, and we robbed the position of the eldest brother. In fact, we had a good time in Shandong and didn't want to come back at all. Saitama said quietly. The old lady's eyes became deep when she looked at her,

"Grandmother thought you were bitter, but who knew there was still one waiting for you. Saitama smiled bitterly:

"Nothing went well, I'm already fine. ”

"Speaking of which, the matter of this banquet is indeed tedious. You're still asking the right person, but if you ask your aunt, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Because the rules of the general nobles and the eunuchs are still different, the relationship is more complicated. ”

"Then grandmother will teach Yu'er. ”

"You got married early, and you haven't had time to learn these things, but it's not too late. "The old lady is confident.

"The first thing to do is to draw up a list of guests and who to invite. It is better to have a person of weight, who can not only improve your status in this banquet, but also prevent some people from making trouble with bad intentions. Such a person, you might come up with?" Saitama thought for a moment and said:

"I can't think of it at this time, so I wrote it down and went back and thought about it slowly. ”

"Well, after the guest is confirmed, of course, you have to set a date, write a post, and inform everyone of the time to come. Saitama nodded in remembrance.

"Then there is the main menu, which can be asked by the kitchen steward to be careful not to make things taboo for guests, especially important guests. The old lady took a sip of tea and continued:

"Before the banquet, we should also consider the matter of seats, and try to arrange the seats for those who have a vendetta and do not deal with them. ”

"It's complicated. ”

"And that's not all. It depends on your housekeeper's ability, how to deploy your subordinates well, divide the work, don't panic when the time comes, everyone doesn't look good. Those who greet guests should remember the appearance and name of the guests, and those who guide the way should be familiar with the arrangement of seats, which cannot be wrong at all. There is also a place to prepare clothes for guests, a place to take a rest, and it is necessary to control your subordinates, so as not to run around and fall into the reputation of the house. ”

"Grandmother really saved me, and I wouldn't know what I would have done if it weren't for you. Saitama said coquettishly. The old lady patted her dotingly,

"It's just a sweet mouth, and I'm happy to coax it. ”

The grandfather and grandson talked again, and Saitama served the old lady and slept, so she called Que'er and commanded:

"You are familiar with everyone in this mansion, find a way to meet Aunt Bai and tell her that Qi Yun is doing well, don't worry about it, and give this purse to Aunt Bai. When Que'er heard this, her face was a little embarrassed,

"Second grandmother, but Aunt Bai always follows her wife, and the slave is afraid that if she looks for her, it will cause some misunderstanding, which is not conducive to the second grandmother. Saitama pondered for a moment and said:

"Do you know the same blessing around your wife?"

"The slave knows each other, and she can find a way to hand her the words and let her pass them on to Aunt Bai. ”

"Is this Tongfu sister reliable?"

"Well, she owes me a favor and should help with this. Que'er nodded and quietly walked out of the old lady's courtyard gate. Everyone in the house knew Que'er, thinking that she had always liked to run around, so they didn't pay special attention to it.

Saitama returned to the room to rest for a while, but heard someone come to report that the second master had sent the girl to the study to see her. (To be continued.) )
