Chapter 34: Returning to the Door
I squinted and got down, but when I squinted, I drank a bowl of porridge after getting confused and relieving myself halfway, and I really slept all night.
In recent days, it is rare to sleep until I wake up naturally, the sky is bright, and Zhou Banxia wakes up. After using the simple morning food as always, I went back to the room to dress up.
At the end of the day, Zhou Yujiang and Zhou Yuhe, who were brothers, came to the door, and the return gift prepared by Mrs. Gu for her granddaughter-in-law was also taken out and placed in the east wing.
There was a basket of twenty or thirty eggs, and another basket with two jars of wine and pastry preserves, and two carps and a pork belly.
It's not a gift that you can't handle. At least each carrying a basket, not two fish and a two-pound pork belly in their hands.
Gu Wenxuan didn't ask, but he also knew that Zhou Banxia had a question in his heart.
In fact, there is one less rooster.
When the rooster returns to the door, it also has the meaning of warding off evil and driving away evil for the mother's family, and it has the meaning of good luck. And his grandmother uses carp as a rooster, saying that it means the same thing.
This matter will not be refuted, so his father and mother added two more jars of wine and pastry preserves, and now he is waiting at the intersection in front of him with a rooster in his hand.
"Daddy."
Zhou Banxia was surprised.
That's enough.
It was much better than she imagined that her mother-in-law could say that she was embarrassed, whether the old lady was another pork belly, and gave ten or eight eggs.
"Take it. Tell your father that next time I will invite him to drink, plus your Uncle Ma, we will drink together, let him not be cheating, otherwise I will not let my daughter-in-law go back to her parents' house. ”
"Okay."
On the side, Gu Wenxuan didn't say a word, he took the stuffed by his father with one hand, and put a large bag of things into the basket with the other hand, just making up an even number.
In the morning, the Dajiang Xiaohe brothers, who invited the third sister and the third brother-in-law back to the door, were a little stunned when they saw this scene, and looked at the second uncle of the in-laws, and then at the third brother-in-law.
Seeing that the second uncle of the in-laws was about to leave after speaking, the brothers didn't care about what they wanted to say about it, so they hurriedly saluted Gu Erzhu before anyone turned around.
Gu Erzhu laughed happily when he saw this, and patted the little shoulders of the two brothers, "Like your third sister!" Okay, go back quickly, don't make the family wait long. ”
The brothers Da Jiang and Xiao He nodded hurriedly, but they still watched Gu Erzhu turn around and go back, and they led the way home in front, and Xiao He began to praise.
This boast will be praised at the door, Gu Wenxuan believes that if it doesn't arrive, this brother-in-law can continue to praise his father and mother, and even Xiaobaoya will not be left behind.
The door of Zhou's house was open, and the two of Zhou Daya were standing outside the courtyard gate, and inside the door were the two of them, and they were very happy to see Zhou Banxia and Gu Wenxuan.
Gu Wenxuan found that his father-in-law's eyes softened a lot when he looked at him this time, unlike when he saw him when he got married the day before yesterday, he wished that you would get out of the way alone.
As for her mother-in-law, she is the strongest presence in the family, but also the weakest. At first, I was not small hostile to him, and it was not until the day of my next appointment that I admitted it.
When he came to marry Banxia the day before yesterday, his attitude was better. At that time, the father-in-law cried, the mother-in-law laughed, it was all reversed, this is a very magical couple.
The Zhou family attaches great importance to today's return to the Three Dynasties. The stove room invited someone to prepare a banquet early, and the new aunt here hurriedly asked the guest to enter the main room.
Entering the main house, it stands to reason that when greeting relatives, Gu Wenxuan had already knelt down to worship Zhou Shun and the Li family, and he only needed to bow today.
But he still knelt down with Zhou Banxia again, thanking them for marrying Zhou Banxia to him, and solemnly promised once again that he would never let Zhou Banxia be wronged.
After all, the two brothers-in-law are good, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law also have a heart, in front of the brother-in-law, he is willing to elevate his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but he also makes Zhou Shun and Li happy.
was personally pulled up by Zhou Shun, Gu Wenxuan gave a greeting to his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, as well as the two brothers-in-law, and gave them a meeting gift, which could not be more thoughtful.
Soon, Zhou Banxia was pulled into the West House by Liu and Zhou Daya, and the hall had Zhou Shun and his eldest aunt Wang Sanlang, Wang Changlin and Zhou Yujiang accompanying Gu Wenxuan to chat.
There was laughter from time to time outside, and Zhou Banxia in the inner room was also amused by Liu and Zhou Daya who asked one after another whether he was bullied by anyone in the Gu family.
The more lively the Guining banquet is, the more wine is paid to the new son-in-law, which proves that the mother's family attaches more importance to her daughter, and also values her aunt, and has the meaning of supporting her daughter.
When it arrived, it was not yet noon, because there were few adult men, Thursday Shun also invited the Zhou patriarch, clan elders, Zhou Xiucai, and their sons to attend the Guining banquet.
This Guining banquet was eaten for a whole hour before the banquet was dismissed, and Gu Wenxuan, as the new aunt, was poured into a lot of wine, and drank as they wished.
Patriarch Zhou and the others left happily, and on Thursday, the three Shun Weng sons-in-law were also placed in the room to rest, and Zhou Yujiang had the opportunity to find Zhou Banxia and say a few words in private.
"Third sister, yesterday my father received a letter from you in the county, and the letter is still in my study."
"Who wrote it?"
"I didn't take it apart." Zhou Yujiang led the way in front, "Dad said that it is estimated that it is your little sister." ”
She guessed too. Shopkeeper Hu will definitely not write to her first, and if he has not received a letter from her, he will not try to contact her in the first month of next year.
"The letter is that the provincial city welcomes guests to the restaurant, and the executives of the restaurant brought it to the county restaurant, and handed it to the Wang shopkeeper to let him hand it over to our father in person, and it happened that our father went to the county seat yesterday.
The matter of the front and back feet, the letter received the next day by the shopkeeper Wang to add makeup to you. It just so happened that you came back today, and I thought that I wouldn't have delivered you a letter before I missed the night anyway. ”
It's okay, you're very thoughtful. If it was urgent, the king's treasurer would send someone to deliver it that night. Besides, my household registration has returned, and I can't be found if something happens.
Eight or nine out of ten are those little sisters, who left me a letter before entering Beijing, and they knew that I never handled letters from strangers, so they asked the shopkeeper to hand them over to my father personally. ”
Hearing Zhou Banxia's words, Zhou Yujiang felt a lot more relieved. He was worried that the old lady in the Gao Mansion would regret letting the third sister go back, and the people below would make their own decisions.
The old lady has always been unwilling to let the third sister go home, even if the third sister saved her life, she is still not willing to let go, if she doesn't want anything, it is impossible.
In the past, it could be said that the third sister looked average, but when the shopkeeper Wang came to add makeup to the third sister, the third sister didn't pretend to be ugly, who knows what the inside story is.
The east wing of Zhou Yujiang room, originally one was a bedroom and one was a study. Since Zhou Yuhe, who lives in the main house and the west house, vacated the room for the third sister, he has often relied on the eldest brother's side.
The west wing has been empty, and even the clothes have been moved to the east wing here, not to mention the four treasures of the study, which fully occupies half of the desk in the eldest brother's study.
In the study.
Before Zhou Banxia opened the letter, she knew that it was the little sister Honeysuckle who wrote a letter to her. On the cover of the envelope is a honeysuckle, which means honeysuckle.
"It's honeysuckle, and the letter was written to me before I returned. She said that she was going to leave with the old lady to the capital immediately, and suddenly remembered that she still owed me ten cents. ”
Yes?
Ten cents?
