Chapter 202: Returning Home
Finally able to breathe the free air outside the palace, Gui Mingyue only felt a lot more relaxed.
This time, it was everyone who welcomed her outside the palace gate who had returned home, and even the dragon boss who returned to the Dragon Dart Bureau came. In addition, the second lady of the Ji family came with a spring face, the sixth aunt and aunt Ru who were holding the child in their arms, as well as a housekeeper in the Ji Mansion and the eldest maid next to the old lady.
"Father, mother, Yue'er's unfilial piety makes you worry about it." Gui Mingyue rushed forward and said with a crying voice.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Gui Hongyuan wiped the corners of his eyes.
"This kid is about to become a mother, why is he still so unheeled, slow down, what are you running?" Yu complained while crying.
"Oh, mother, don't cry, we're happy to be home now. The third brother is the top student in high school, the eldest sister is a quiet concubine, and the second sister can now leave the palace smoothly, and she has received so many rewards, we should be happy! Sister-in-law Wei said quickly.
Most of the words she said to the people in the Ji Mansion could hear it, in the past, they returned to the family and spoke lightly, and he Ji Mansion did not belittle and oppress the second sister.
Now it's good, his Ji Mansion has lost its momentum, and the tide is indeed rising when he returns home, there are people in the harem in the court, and the shops are getting bigger and bigger, which can be said to be powerful and rich, and in one fell swoop it has become the home of Zhong Ming Ding Food in Nanyang County, and even the Shanghu General's Mansion in the clan has to stammer!
"Hey, what a woman, what are you talking about!" Gui Chengzhi couldn't help frowning and scolding his daughter-in-law, now that he has been wiped, he should be more low-key and cautious.
"I think Brother Yue (the eldest son of Gui Chengzhi and Wei) is very right!" Yu wiped away tears of joy and couldn't help but help Wei.
There are some things that should be said to these people!
When the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion and the big maid beside the old lady heard this, they all laughed, and their eyes towards Gui Mingyue became more respectful.
"Grandma, let's not stand, let's go back to the house quickly, the old lady has a table of dishes, all prepared for you." The eldest lady was beheaded, Lin died in prison, and now the second lady Ji is in charge, so when she speaks, her waist is harder than before, but her tone is unconsciously flattering.
Gui Mingyue bowed slightly, and the sixth aunt and Aunt Ru over there also stepped forward with a smile, although they didn't talk much, but Gui Mingyue could feel the kindness from them.
Now in the group of people in this Ji Mansion, these two people are sincere to themselves.
"Let's go," Gui Mingyue said.
Second Mrs. Ji was doubly courteous and invited her to go home together, but Gui Hongyuan was embarrassed to refuse, only to see Yu pouting and categorically refuse.
"It's inconvenient for us to enter the gate of Jifu, otherwise we won't be able to eat this meal if we encounter something resentful." Yu Shi said angrily, turned his head and said a few words to Gui Mingyue carefully, nothing more than asking her to pay attention to her body and make good promises.
Gui Hongyuan here looked embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything, because he knew that the resentful character in Yu's mouth was Gui Caiwei, his daughter.
However, a few days ago, because they knew what Gui Caiwei did, they had severed their relationship with Gui Caiwei when they returned home, and the reason why Gui Caiwei dared to cut off relations with them so recklessly was also related to the role played by Mrs. Ji in the back.
Because they are Duan Duan, they will not be willing to see Gui Caiwei when they go to Ji Mansion.
Second Mrs. Ji actually understood the Tao in her heart, and inviting them into the mansion was just a polite remark. So after sending off the family who returned home, Ji Fu also got into the carriage and went home.
"Second lady, sixth aunt, Rurong, you go to the north courtyard first, I will go back to the west courtyard to wash and change clothes, and I will come in a moment." Gui Mingyue said softly, I was really tired from the dust along the way, and I just wanted to take a hot bath before going.
"What the young grandmother said is that when you are pregnant, you should want to rest and rest, don't worry, I believe the old lady also understands." The second lady hurriedly said.
"In this way, I will thank the second lady." Gui Mingyue said tiredly.
"Whoa, whoa!" The second aunt smiled and said that she wanted to go back to the North Courtyard with the others.
Gui Mingyue walked slowly from the main gate to the west courtyard, along the way, there was no longer the excitement of the past, there were not a few people, and most of them didn't know each other.
Anyway, this Hou Mansion compound was given back by the emperor after Ji Yunyi was wronged this time, otherwise I am afraid that they would still have to live in that dilapidated old courtyard.
"Young grandma, you're back!" On the way to the west courtyard, Ji Shun looked out, and when he saw Gui Mingyue, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "Young grandma is back!" ”
At this time, only the sound of hula was heard, and a group of people poured out of the west courtyard.
"Young grandma, the slaves and maids kowtow to the young grandma and say goodbye!" All the maids and women knelt down in unison, choking and shouting.
"Hurry up, please." Gui Mingyue looked around:
First-class maids Jinqi'er, silver pendants, tortoiseshells, second-class maids Qiao'er, Hexiang, Caiyun, Shuyu, first-class mother-in-law have Jiang Grandma, Cheng Grandma and second-class mother-in-law Zheng everyone, and then there is the little maid outside the courtyard, the mother-in-law in the kitchen, in the past, everything Gui Mingyue thought was good, this will be complete.
"How do you all ......" After all, the Ji Mansion is different now, and she expected that the three big maids beside her and Grandma Jiang would come back, but she didn't expect that these others would also come back.
"The slaves are not going anywhere, just waiting for the young grandmother," Soyu said.
"Yes, there is no master who is better to our subordinates than the young grandmother, and the slaves and maids are reluctant to leave the young grandmother and come back." Qiao'er said with tears in her eyes.
As soon as these words came out, the big guys nodded frequently, saying yes, yes.
Gui Mingyue sighed, saying that it was fake not to be moved, so she had to urge everyone to get up.
"Grandma has prepared hot water for you, and the petals have been placed, so it will taste good." Jin Qi'er held back her tears, and Yin Shen'er even rushed forward to help Gui Mingyue up.
The tortoiseshell looked at the master's face carefully, it was ruddy and healthy, and his heart was relaxed.
"Don't pestle here, the young grandmother is back, everyone is still doing the same thing as before, let's go back and do what we should do." Grandma Cheng quickly commanded with a hundred times more spirit: "Hexiang, you go and boil a bowl of red date and ginseng porridge to warm the young grandmother's stomach." A few of you, go and move those pots of begonia flowers that are in full bloom to the stone platform outside the young grandmother's window, and put some on both sides of the swing, and you ......."
"Whoa!" The people were busy according to the words.
Under the service of Jin Qi'er, Gui Mingyue took off her dress and soaked in the bathtub.
The three maids on the edge of the barrel spoke softly to their masters, saying that Mrs. Ji deserved it; said that the concubines in the house stole the fine soft and fled while they were in chaos; said that Qingxiu, who used to be in the West Courtyard and wanted to climb high branches, now found a rich man outside to make a concubine, and the three old people in the West Courtyard, Bian Pozi, Su Qin and Mo Hua, are actually the old lady's people, and now they are serving the old lady; also said that the original son Ji Yunzhe was stripped of his title because he was affected by the Marquis Ji...... It's just that no one dares to mention the eldest young master, for fear of touching the sad things of the eldest young grandmother.
But when they saw that when the eldest young grandmother mentioned the eldest young master by herself, her face was no different from usual, and they relaxed a little, not knowing the fact that Ji Yunyi was still alive and had met Gui Mingyue, and said that the eldest and young grandmother had just become stronger as a mother.
After all, after so much time, there is no trace of the eldest young master, and anyone should think that the eldest young master is really gone.
"Then how is the third young master now?" Gui Mingyue asked curiously, from what she saw, this person was not such a person who coveted power.
"It's strange to say, these three young masters lost the title of the prince, they are not in a hurry or bored, after coming out of prison, they seem to be more comfortable, I have never seen him laugh before, but now I heard from the group of people over there in Nanyuan, he still laughs often." Jin Qi'er is worthy of being a bag to inquire, and she talks about the big and small things in this house.
Gui Mingyue nodded, that's it, finally avenged himself and his dead aunt, can you not be happy.
"Also, now our old lady is very blue-eyed to the third young master." Jin Qi'er said again.
"Why?" Gui Mingyue asked, then got up, and the silver pendant and tortoiseshell on this side dried her body and smeared some essential oil.
Jin Qi'er wiped her hair, and said: "Some people speculate that there are few men in our house, and the eldest young master and the fourth young master have disappeared one after another, so it is ......" Jin Qi'er finished speaking, and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate...... Glancing at the master.
Seeing that she was not displeased, she continued: "But the slave maid inquired, although the third young master was deprived of the title of the third young master, he intended to restore his official position in the Dragon Pavilion. ”
This is true, now everyone in the house thinks that Xianggong is afraid that he has died on the battlefield, and Yun Lang is nowhere to be found in order to find his brother. The only men are the third young master and the fifth young master, compared to the fifth young master who is calculating but what to do and fail, the third young master who is clear and upright and talented and not weak in mind has become the expectation of the house.
While speaking, the three maids had already dressed Gui Mingyue.
"Let's go, it's time to go and say goodbye to the old lady." Gui Mingyue said.
The furnishings of the North Courtyard are not much different from those of more than half a year ago, but Gui Mingyue feels a little dilapidated.
"Granddaughter-in-law has seen the old lady, the old lady Jin An." Gui Mingyue's tone was respectful, and she was about to bow down.
"Don't kneel when you're pregnant, get up and eat, the food is cold." Old Madam Ji's tone was gentle, but there was some dissatisfaction with Gui Mingyue in her words.
This is to blame for not coming to the North Courtyard immediately to ask for peace when she returned home.
"Come on, grandma and young make it quickly, these are what you like to eat, the old lady specially ordered the kitchen to make it." The second lady hurriedly played a round game.
"The second sister is pregnant, but she is more delicate than others, I heard that the mattress on the carriage to greet her is thin, so she is so tired." Gui Caiwei sat in front of the old lady as before, and prepared food for the old lady diligently.
Gui Mingyue was irritable when she saw her like this, and she really had an appetite.
Seeing that her master was so rejected, Jin Qi'er immediately snorted coldly and said,
"Miss Gan's second sister can't be called, now you have been kicked out of the house by my old lady, and you are no longer a person who has returned home, so it's better not to call the second sister of the young grandmother in the future."
"Bold maid! Don't give me a slap yet! Gui Caiwei didn't expect that Jin Qi'er, a little maid, would dare to expose her face directly at the dinner table of so many people, and she was furious on the spot, and she couldn't care about her image anymore.
"Who dare!" Gui Mingyue said lightly: "Did I say that whoever dares to touch a finger of my maid, I will return it ten times and a hundred times." You'd better remember. ”
Saying that, Gui Mingyue ignored her anymore and asked Jin Qi'er to pick up vegetables for herself.
"You, you're so deceitful!" Gui Caiwei is dissatisfied and will continue to argue.
"Sister-in-law, it's hard to go to the palace, the pair of Capricorn and phoenix hairpins you made for the queen have been famous all over the world, it's really gratifying, Yun Zhe respects you a cup." At this time, the third young master Ji Yunzhe, who was on the other side, raised his wine glass and saluted, and then drank it all.
"Thank you Third Brother, everything in our house will depend on the Third Brother in the future." Gui Mingyue replaced the wine with tea, and drank it all.
After drinking, the two of them smiled heartily, and none of them bothered to take care of Gui Caiwei.
Old Madam Ji took these things into her eyes, especially when Ji Yunzhe mentioned Gui Mingyue's coronation hairpin for the world-famous queen, a bright light suddenly appeared in her eyes, she knew that Yun Zhe was reminding her not to go too far with Gui.
Old Madam Ji immediately reprimanded Gui Caiwei with a cold face, and instructed Jin Qi'er to serve their master wholeheartedly.
"The old lady can rest assured, the slaves and maids should serve the grandmother wholeheartedly and not let the old lady worry." Jin Qi'er immediately smiled and knelt down and said, she is a delicate and clear person, and she knows that she will accept it when she sees it.
