Gu Yilan actually understands her father's complex psychology, Mu Hongsheng actually understands. Therefore, she didn't speak, just stretched out her hand and shook Gu Yilan's hand hard, conveying her support and understanding to her.

Gu Yilan raised her head, looked at Mu Hongshang's bright eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Hongshang, I feel more and more now that it is really good to be able to marry into the Mu family." The Mu family has your eldest brother and you. ”

But no matter how entangled Gu Yilan was, after breakfast the next day, she still took the Gu family's carriage back to her parents' house. Gu Sanye was still very happy to see his daughter, but he ...... The father and daughter always seem a little polite and excessive.

On this day, both Scholar Gu and Gu Sanye seemed to be in a very good mood, especially Gu Sanye, who was transferred back to Beijing and entered the household department, becoming the head of the branch of the real power faction, and the future was bright, Gu Yilan could also think of how proud her father was.

And the current Grandma Gu San is not the one who was angry when she mentioned her in-laws, but when she mentioned her father-in-law, she was full of gratitude and praise, her husband was in an important position and had a bright future, she was now the first to have the face among several concubines in the Gu family, she walked with her head held high, and the second grandmother Gu, who had always been very arrogant, saw her and had a very affectionate attitude.

However, this is all on the surface, in fact, after Gu Yilan returned to her parents' home, when Gu Sanye and his wife chatted with Gu Yilan in private, their true thoughts were still exposed. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they revealed that Gu Sanye's ability to have today was inseparable from the careful planning and paving of the way by Scholar Gu, but it was also the result of Gu Sanye's willingness to calm down and work hard in Ningling for many years, and it was also the result of his deliberate friendship with Lin Wuye, which he deserved.

The two people who raised their eyebrows seemed to have long forgotten their anxiety when they were in Ningling, their complaints and grievances against Scholar Gu, and their efforts to solve the so-called "dilemma", regardless of Scholar Gu's opinions, privately promised their daughter and the Lin family's family affairs.

All this seemed to them to be in the past. Gu Yilan looked at her parents who were frowning, and her high-spirited brother, and her heart was complicated and indescribable.

After she came back, Gu Sanye and Gu San's grandmother took the initiative to ask about Mu Zhengyi, who went to the north, and they were also very concerned about Mu Chengxin, who was in the court, and even took the initiative to ask about Mrs. Mu and Mu Hongsheng, who were extremely valued by the queen at the palace banquet a few days ago. In terms of attitude, Gu Sanye and his wife seemed to be very satisfied with their daughter's marriage, and it was not at all the posture that they were determined to oppose when they were in Ningling.

But they never seemed to ask if Mu Zhengyi was good to her, whether the Mu family was easy to get along with, whether she was doing well in the Mu family, and whether there was anything she was not used to.

On the contrary, it was Mrs. Gu who specially called Gu Yilan aside and asked about the details of her life in the Mu family. Also, Mrs. Gu also deliberately comforted Gu Yilan because Mu Zhengyi traveled far away during the wedding period.

Gu Yilan, who didn't know how to face her parents, took the opportunity to propose to Mrs. Gu that she wanted to go back before lunch, and Mrs. Gu didn't even need Gu Yilan to say the reason why she was ready, she just nodded after being slightly stunned.

"I was negligent." Mrs. Gu said, "Today should be your sister-in-law's birthday, I originally remembered it. When your father returned to Beijing, his family was so busy that he forgot about it for a while. I shouldn't have picked you up today, you are the new daughter-in-law, and my sister-in-law went back to her parents' house on her birthday, which is really not good. In this way, I will back up the generous gift, and you can bring it back to your sister-in-law, so it is not too rude. ”

Gu Yilan left so early, and she didn't even participate in the reception banquet prepared for Gu Sanye, Gu Sanye and Gu San's grandmother looked a little disappointed, but in front of Mrs. Gu, the two didn't dare to say anything.

Gu Yilan respectfully bid farewell to her grandparents and father and mother, and boarded the carriage with the birthday gift prepared by Mrs. Gu for Mu Hongsheng, until the carriage rumbled and rolled and left the Gu University Scholar's Mansion, she sighed gloomily. balance

But soon, Gu Yilan sorted out the expression on her face and looked at the street scene outside the car window calmly. It doesn't matter, she doesn't need to think too much about it now, the little sister at home is still waiting for her to cook longevity noodles!

When Gu Yilan got off at the second gate of Anguo Mansion, the brothers Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi happened to come back from the outer study, and as soon as they saw her, the brothers immediately smiled: "Sister-in-law really came back so early." ”

"Naturally," Gu Yilan nodded: "Today is my little sister's birthday, how can I do it if I am not at home, I promised to cook longevity noodles for her." ”

"Sister-in-law, let's go and rest," Mu Lingyi immediately said: "It's quite tiring to go out, and it's hard to go to the kitchen just after you come back." At noon today, I set up a birthday banquet for my little sister in the Water Pavilion, and there is a big table of dishes, so there is no need for my sister-in-law to be busy at this time. ”

"What is there to be tired of me riding back and forth in the car," Gu Yilan replied with a smile: "It's not a hassle to cook noodles." ”

"Then I'll help my sister-in-law." Mu Jinyi immediately began to pat his chest: "Sister-in-law command, I'll do it, I've been idle all morning, and I have a lot of strength." Let's go, let's go with the fifth brother, let's all go and help the sister-in-law. ”

"What are you anxious about?" Mu Lingyi slapped the back of his brother's head: "Let the sister-in-law go back to the room first to change clothes and drink a cup of tea, everything is your shouting joy." ”

Gu Yilan looked at the two Ling Yi brothers shouting in front of her, and a warm smile appeared on her lips. This is her home, and she does not lack the care and warmth of her family, so what does she have to regret?

Although Mu Hongsheng's birthday banquet did not invite outsiders to be guests, it was still very lively. Xie Shurou sent many birthday gifts before noon, among which there was indeed a legendary cake, and Mrs. Mu was very happy and ate several pieces in a row.

Gu Yilan studied the strange-looking prototype soft cake for a long time, and finally decided that she must rely on Xie Shurou to learn this technique.

If there are any regrets about Mu Hongsheng's birthday, one of the regrets is that his father and brother are not at home, and the eldest brother who went to the north has not been able to come back. The second regret is that the fourth brother Tsing Yi will leave for the north shortly after her birthday.

On this day, Mu Hongshang did not receive a letter from the north, and she was actually a little disappointed. But Mu Hongshang didn't show any unhappiness, she even comforted herself, maybe the eldest brother was coming back, and the letters from her father, uncles, and second brother and third brother might be brought back by the eldest brother himself.

However, Mu Hongsheng's hopes were ultimately disappointed. On the third day after her birthday, the Anguo Mansion received letters and packages from the north, but Mu Zhengyi did not return.

When Mu Hongshang saw the birthday gift given to her by her eldest brother in the package, she knew that Mu Zhengyi would not be able to return to Beijing in about a short time.
