Gu University Scholar's Mansion, on this day, everyone in the Gu family got up very early.

When she got up early in the morning, Grandma Gu, the daughter-in-law of the family, went to her mother-in-law's room and began to report to her mother-in-law one by one on the preparations for the ninth sister's return banquet.

Where to welcome guests, where the elders accept the invitation of the new son-in-law, where to set up the table, how to arrange the seats, what dishes to serve, how to arrange after the meal, what gifts to prepare, etc., everything is very detailed, and Grandma Gu has reported it to her mother-in-law.

And Mrs. Gu was also very patient, no matter how trivial and trivial, she also listened carefully one by one. After Grandma Gu finished speaking, she spoke: "The hour of the main banquet will be moved back two quarters of an hour." ”

Grandma Gu was stunned, but she didn't dare to ask anything, just nodded immediately.

"After the banquet, I asked the ninth sister to come and sit with me," Mrs. Gu said again: "Son-in-law Sun, you don't have to worry about it, and don't arrange for the children to accompany you." Let them disperse when the main feast is over, don't get in the way. ”

"Yes! Mother. "Grandma Gu immediately understood, the eldest prince of Anguo Mansion came to the door, but it was a rare opportunity, and I wanted to come to the father-in-law to talk to him about something.

"Has the yard where the ninth sister used to live been cleaned up?" Mrs. Gu asked again.

"The main room deliberately didn't move, it's what the ninth sister looked like on the day she got married," Grandma Gu said: "But mother, daughter-in-law thinks, the ninth sister and her younger family probably won't spend the night in our house, I'm afraid they will have to leave and go back after dinner." ”

"Well done," Mrs. Gu nodded: "Although the little couple of them won't spend the night in our house, it is still appropriate to let the ninth sister go back to her former yard to take a look." Nothing else, you go get busy first. When I go back next time, I will call the third daughter-in-law by the way, I have something to tell her. ”

"Yes." Grandma Gu nodded, and after saluting her mother-in-law, she turned around and went out.

After she went out, Mrs. Gu looked at the sky, and then asked the maid to run errands: "Go to the front yard to find a clever little maid, go to the palace gate and wait, and ride a horse." Seeing that he was scattered, he quickly came back to deliver a message. ”

While Mrs. Gu was busy arranging everything, the children in the Anguo Mansion had already finished their morning class.

Mu Hongsheng, who had just been taught a hard lesson by Huiming, had healed his scars and forgot the pain, but after a while, he was happy again, walking beside Mu Zhengyi, and chattering about this and that.

"So, in this way, the eldest brother will not have breakfast in the grandmother's room in the future?" Mu Hongshang asked.

"Yes," Mu Zhengyi nodded: "Grandmother specially instructed so." ”

"That's good," Mu Hongshang nodded like a little adult: "A big brother has been very busy recently, and he doesn't have much time to be with his sister-in-law, so he eats alone in the yard, so he has time to talk more without being disturbed." Second, the sister-in-law and grandmother eat at the same table, I am afraid that it is not at ease. ”

"How do you know?" Mu Zhengyi couldn't help but smile and pinched his sister's nose: "At a young age, I pretend to be a jack of all trades." ”

"I can think of it," Mu Hongshang replied: "My sister-in-law told me about the Gu family when she was not engaged to you, and the rules of the parents are very strict. The daughter-in-law has to wait for her mother-in-law to eat according to the rules, the eldest brother thinks, the sister-in-law grew up next to her grandmother, and all she sees is the sincerity of being a daughter-in-law standing beside her mother-in-law, day by day, after so many years, this set of rules has long been firmly engraved in her heart, she has felt that such rules are natural since she was a child, after marrying into our family, although her grandmother and second uncle do not want her to set rules, wait for meals or something, but the rules in her heart have not changed. ”

"That's right," Mu Zhengyi nodded: "Our family doesn't have such rules, grandmother said that she doesn't need to set rules to wait, aunts, mothers and uncles all feel normal, but Lan'er herself is a little uneasy." ”

"Sister-in-law is not used to it!" Mu Hongshang replied with a smile: "My mother said that it will be fine in a few days." She told me that she wasn't used to it when she first got married, and her eldest brother knew that her mother grew up in the palace and was also a very well-behaved person. ”

"I said how did you suddenly understand like this," Mu Zhengyi smiled: "It turned out that the eldest aunt told you." ”

"Nonsense," Mu Hongsheng immediately replied with an unconvinced face, "I already understood it very well." ”

"Oh?" Mu Zhengyi couldn't help but smile and asked, "Then tell me, what do you understand?" ”

"For example," Mu Hongsheng tilted her head and thought for a while before replying, "I know that the eldest brother will accompany Sister Gu back to the door today, and I am afraid that this pass will not be easy." I'm afraid that the in-laws are waiting for you to come to the door. ”

"Hah...... Gearing up? Mu Zhengyi accidentally laughed: "Is it difficult, do you think Lan'er's grandfather wants to beat me?" ”

"No," Mu Hongsheng shook his head: "But he will definitely drag you to talk about the military department." I've consulted Mr. Sun about everything that's happened in the DPRK these days, and I understand! My sister-in-law's grandfather is willing to let her marry into our family, doesn't he fancy that our family can speak in military affairs! The secretary of the military department has fallen, and most of the officials of the military department have been dismissed, so many vacancies, the in-laws must also be staring at it, just like Sister Xie's grandfather. ”

"Yes! You understand everything," Mu Zhengyi smiled and gently pushed Mu Hongsheng to turn around: "My sister is the smartest in the world, are you satisfied?" Okay, don't delay, hurry up and go back to shower and change clothes, grandmother is still waiting for you to have breakfast, you see that Ling Yi and Jinyi have long since disappeared, if you are not happy, they will complain about you again. ”

Mu Hongshang agreed, and ran away, she ran away, but Mu Qingyi didn't leave. Mu Qingyi stood beside Mu Zhengyi, the two looked at his sister's back together, and after a while, Mu Zhengyi said again: "Hongshang has really grown up, and he actually knows how to ask Mr. Sun about this." ”

"She is such a character, and the eldest brother doesn't know it," Mu Qingyi replied: "Actually, in the recent incident of the military department, grandmother and mother are also worried about you, they just don't say it, for fear of adding an extra burden to you and the third uncle." ”

"Actually, it's okay on our side," Mu Zhengyi replied, "It's the northern side that is really under pressure." Actually, I should have gone back to the north earlier, but now ......"

"Big brother, what are you talking about?" Mu Qingyi immediately frowned: "This is the third day of your marriage." Sister-in-law has just entered the door, what north border are you going to, who should go and it shouldn't be you. ”

"But the current situation in the north is really not optimistic." Mu Zhengyi replied: "Right now, the military department is half empty, and the third uncle can't leave Beijing to go to the north, and someone in the court has to keep an eye on it." ”

"I know." Mu Qingyi replied softly: "I will be seventeenth next month, big brother, I want to leave for the north a year earlier." ”
