Chapter 12: Returning to the Door
Early morning.
Qingzhou got up very early, just came to Wan Zi'an's courtyard with Forsythia, and saw that Wan Zi'an was already dressed neatly, and just stepped out of the threshold with one foot, after seeing Qingzhou, Wan Zi'an's eyes were cold, revealing a contempt, looking at his wife in front of him, and ignoring it.
Qingzhou covered his eyes and saluted him, these days, the two of them have to go to the old lady together in the morning to ask for peace, even if Wan Zi'an is unwilling to go with Qingzhou, but he is afraid that Wanzhongshan will return to his house every day in the past few days, and he does not dare to be presumptuous between words and deeds.
Wan Zi'an didn't look at Qingzhou again, only led the little maid to walk towards his grandmother's yard, Qingzhou saw this, only followed him without saying a word, the two walked all the way through the verandah, Mrs. Wan is old, she doesn't like to be noisy, and the place where she lives is very quiet, so she let the two walk for a while before arriving.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw that Ning had already brought a maid and a grandmother to serve there, and when he saw his son and daughter-in-law, Ning smiled and said to the two; "Go and say hello to Grandmother."
Wan Zi'an and Qingzhou responded, and bowed to their grandmother together, the old lady saw that her grandson was still good-looking, and she couldn't help but be very relieved, and only smiled; "Hurry up, it's still early, don't stay with me, it's rare that your uncle and aunt are in the house today, go and greet them."
After speaking, Mrs. Wan glanced at the sky and said; "Go and tell your uncle that he won't run to me today, he has a lot of things to do, and he will go to the barracks in a while, remember to let him have breakfast before leaving."
Wan Zi'an thought of his uncle, and his heart was the boss's reluctance, until Ning Shi glanced at him, Wan Zi'an understood, and knew that now that Wen Minyi had returned home, he was going to ask for peace no matter what, so he had to respond, and then retreated with Qingzhou.
After the young couple left, Mrs. Wan looked at the backs of the two and said to Ning on the side; "I see that Zi'an's child has been getting better recently, you go and arrange it, just a few days, let them have a round house."
Ning Shi was stunned, and there was a hesitation on his face, "Mother, Zi'an has always been afraid that Qingzhou was born lowly, and her daughter-in-law is only afraid..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the old lady; "You also heard Chongshan's words that day, he recognized this niece and daughter-in-law, you and Zi'an have a good talk, who can say nothing about what his uncle has decided?"
Speaking of this, the old lady paused, and then said; "Besides, I've been watching coldly these days, and that kid in Qingzhou is also a safe and self-conscious person, even if his background is a little worse, let's admit it."
Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Ning only respectfully claimed that she was, and after she should get down, she started to let people arrange it.
In the backyard, Wan Chongshan and Wen Minyi had already gotten up, Wen Minyi took care of her husband's clothes, and asked her to bring her nephew Wen Ziliang, and greeted Wan Chongshan, and when she saw the child, Wan Chongshan didn't say anything, only asked two gossips, seeing that the child looked afraid of Wan Chongshan, and didn't say a word to her uncle's questioning, Wen Minyi was helpless, for fear of provoking Wan Chongshan's dislike, so she had to let her grandmother take her nephew down.
Wen Minyi was reprimanded by her mother-in-law, and never told her husband that she wanted her nephew to pass under her knees, but only hoped that the child would be raised by her side.
When Wan Zi'an and Qingzhou arrived, they happened to see Mama with Wen Ziliang out, the child looked timid, but seemed to be weak and couldn't help the wind, when passing by Qingzhou's side, the child raised his head slightly, Qingzhou smiled at him gently, Wen Ziliang's eyes seemed to have a flash of light, and then he lowered his head and followed Mama out of the house.
"Second master, Zi'an and Qingzhou are here." Wen Minyi saw her nephew and daughter-in-law, so she smiled and spoke to Wan Chongshan.
Wan Chongshan raised his eyes, and saw Wan Zi'an's long body and jade body, and the light boat behind him was also gentle and delicate, the two of them stood there, they were the same age, they were really a pair of beautiful people.
"The nephew (niece and daughter-in-law) is the uncle, and the aunt is greeting." The two of them bent down together.
"No need to be polite." Wan Chongshan raised his hand, pointed to the seat beside him, and said; "Sit down."
Wan Zi'an and Qingzhou didn't dare to sit down, Wan Zi'an cleared his throat, brought his grandmother's words, and saw Wan Chongshan's head, Wan Zi'an didn't want to stay longer, so he wanted to leave after inviting An.
Seeing this, Wen Minyi smiled and asked her nephew and daughter-in-law to stay for breakfast.
Wan Zi'an hurriedly refused; "Aunt Xie is kind, and the nephew's yard has also prepared breakfast, and the nephew doesn't dare to delay his uncle and aunt, just go back and use it."
Wan Chongshan saw that he didn't want to stay longer for a moment, knowing that it was because he was too strict with his nephew on weekdays, his eyes flickered, but he fell on Qingzhou.
Since entering the house, Qingzhou has been standing there quietly, except for saluting and greeting, he has never heard her voice, even if he is often not in the house, he has heard the people in the house say, only that this young lady is the most good-natured, even if she is angry with the young master on weekdays, she never speaks much, even to the next person, it is also very generous.
At this time, seeing that his nephew was leaving, Wan Chongshan put down the tea bowl in his hand and said two words in a deep voice; "Wait."
"What else does my uncle command?" Wan Zian reluctantly stopped.
"I see that your body has recovered, and you will accompany Qingzhou back to Chen's Mansion today." Wan Chongshan's voice was steady, and he opened his mouth slowly, and when Wan Zi'an heard it, he was puzzled; "Uncle asked his nephew to go to Chen's mansion?"
Wan Chongshan frowned slightly when he saw him ask like this, "You were sick before, and the matter of returning to the door was naturally delayed, but now that you have recovered, this matter naturally cannot be delayed any longer." ”
Listening to Wan Chongshan's words, Qingzhou's heart suddenly shook, she raised her eyes in disbelief, and saw Wan Chongshan sitting on the main seat, as if she was ordering an extremely ordinary thing, her heartbeat gradually increased, after marrying for such a long time, the old lady and Ning never mentioned the matter of returning to the door, she has long since stopped thinking about this matter, she is just a bride from a concubine, she is not valued in her mother's family and her husband's family, her husband's recovery is already her great blessing, how dare she think about returning to the door?
Even if returning to the door is an old gift, even if the gift sent to the mother's house when returning to the door is a symbol of the bride's status in her husband's family, even if every married woman must have to return to the door, but she.... How dare you hope?
"But uncle..."Wan Zi'an wanted to say more.
"I'll have the butler prepare a gift, go ahead." Wan Chongshan interrupted him, and the majesty in his tone made people's hearts awe.
