Prime Minister

Chapter 357 Back to the Door
According to marriage customs, on the third day after the wedding, the couple will return to their natal home, which is called the Three Dynasties Huimen.

Zhang Yue and Shi Qi Niang had lunch at Wu's house, also known as Guining Banquet, and then went home before dark.

On this day, several carriages from the Wu residence stopped in front of Zhang's house.

Zhang Yue led Seventeen Niang's hand into the carriage, and then the two went to Wu Mansion.

When the carriage was still miles away from the Jinliang Bridge, a servant from Wu's mansion rode a fast horse into the mansion to report, and when Zhang Yue's Seventeenth Niang arrived at Wu's mansion, Wu Anchi was already waiting in front of the door.

Wu Anchi saw Zhang Yue and saluted with a smile, Zhang Yue said, "I've seen my second brother-in-law."

Wu Anchi said with a smile: "Don't blame the seventeenth brother-in-law for blocking the door that day. It is really a last resort. My parents have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come inside."

Zhang Yue was immediately invited to enter. In the inner hall, both Wu Chong and Li Taijun sat high, and on the left and right were relatives of the Wu family, such as Wu Anshi and his wife, Wu Anchi and his wife, Ouyang Fa and his wife, Lu Xiji and his wife, Wen Jifu and his wife, etc. .

Return Wu Yufu's relatives in the capital, Wu Yu has ten sons, three sons are in the capital, as for Wu Fang, Wu Jingfu also has several children in the capital, but they are not in the inner hall, but placed in the side hall.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that such a big battle in the Wu family is naturally the importance they attach to this new son-in-law.

Zhang Yue and Shi Qi Niang kowtowed to Wu Chong and Li Taijun.

Wu Chong and Li Taijun looked at Shiqi Niang carefully, but they saw Shi Qi Niang was wearing a big red shirt, covered with golden silk embroidered trousers, her complexion was rosy, it can be said that she was radiant.

No need to guess, I also know that Zhang Yue is really good to Shi Qi Niang.

There was a slight smile on Wu Chong's serious face, but this matter was within his expectation, and Li Taijun saw Wu Chong's expression was very good and quickly said: "Don't kneel, quickly help them up."

Zhang Yue Shiqi Niang was immediately picked up by others.

Li Taijun smiled at Zhang Yue: "The little girl has been spoiled since she was a child, and she has a wild temper. If there is anything wrong in the future, you, the champion, will take care of you."

Zhang Yue said: "Mother-in-law is above, I really dare not be my son-in-law. The wife is gentle and virtuous, and she is really a good match. It is the blessing of my son-in-law's three generations to marry her."

When Zhang Yue mentioned that his wife is gentle and virtuous, he wanted to add that mother-in-law can rest assured that my wife will never come and stab Shi Qiniang for what she said in the bridal chamber because of the Lion Roaring in the River East. The words came to his lips or stopped.

But when Zhang Yue thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Seventeen Niang beside him.

Seventeen Niang saw Zhang Yue's face looked like a smile but not a smile, although she couldn't guess what he was thinking in his heart, but she definitely would never have anything good to say, so she immediately pinched Zhang Yue's waist calmly.

Zhang Yue Leng couldn't help but twitch his brows, pretending to be fine again.

Such delicate people as Wu Chong and Li Taijun, although they can't see the small movements between Zhang Yue and Shi Qiniang, how can they not see the slight difference in their expressions.

In fact, not only Wu Chong and Li Taijun, several sisters of the Wu family also saw that their own sister was very proud since she was a child, but in front of Zhang Yue, she showed a bit of a little girl's attitude.

Shi Qi Niang and her sisters were happy for Shi Qi Niang, but their hearts were also a little sour.

Li Taijun is in a different state of mind. Her four sons-in-law have seen each other when they came back home. Although whether the marriage can be reconciled depends on the future management of the husband and wife, but if they are awkward everywhere from the beginning of marriage, then they will be able to reconcile in the future. not much.

Now it seems that Shi Qiniang is the best married woman.

Of course the happiest person among the crowd was Wu Chong. Seeing that Zhang Yue Shiqiniang had met Wu Anshi one by one, after Ouyang sent them a message, he said: "The couple are both busy driving, don't stand up and talk, sit down first." Take a break."

Li Taijun laughed and said, "Master is really considerate."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words.

Immediately when everyone got up, Li Taijun said to Zhang Yue Shiqiniang: "You couple follow Andu, An Shi, An Chi met relatives first, and I will call you when the banquet begins. Seventeenth, you need to help me entertain the number one scholar Lang."

Zhangyue Shiqiniang just met Ouyang Fa, his wife and others. They have known each other for a long time, but Shiqiniang also has a younger brother, Wu Anshi, and this is the first time they have met.

Wu Anshi is the youngest son of Wu Chong, he is only eleven or twelve years old now, compared with his two older brothers, Wu Anshi is more shy and afraid of meeting strangers.

The rest are a few children, they are the third generation of Wu Chong, including Wang Anshi's grandson Wu Mo.

Nanshan's new phoenix chick, with clear eyebrows, is not as good as a picture.He loved pears and chestnuts (referring to toys) since he was young, and he had to read five carts of books when he grew up.

When Wang took Wu Mo back to her mother's house to meet Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi heard that Wu Mo didn't like reading and liked to play around, so Wang Anshi persuaded his daughter not to let her strictly control him, saying that he should play first when he was young, and then study when he grew up.

It can be seen that the matter of intergenerational favor inevitably happened to Wang Anshi.

Afterwards, Wu Anshi and other Yin Zhangyue met the relatives of the other three households in the Wu residence.

For example, all the elders of the Wu family took Yin as an official. Wu Andu is now the official of Guanglu Temple, Wu Anchang is the official of Dali Temple, and Wu Anhou is the official of Taichang Temple Fenglilang.

The three of Wu Andu are all yin officials, except for their salary, they are not dispatched, they just wait for the Ministry of Officials to give instructions.And as Wu Andu, the highest official in the generation of the Wu family, his official Guanglu Temple Cheng is only the 39th rank of Beijing official.

Zhang Yue is now the 38th-rank Dali Temple Prime Minister, and his official position is still above Wu Andu.Moreover, Zhang Yue was born as a Jinshi, so the future prospects of the two are simply incomparable.

Although the other children of the Wu family's big house said Xiyin, they had no plans to become officials and left the capital early.

As for the second and third bedrooms of the Wu family, it was much worse. Wu Jingguan, the second bedroom, went to Taichang Temple Chancellor (Jingguan 39th rank), and then died of illness.

Wu Fangguan from the third house to the capital official Wailang (33rd rank of Beijing official), but was chased by the three officials for committing crimes, and is now managed in Shouzhou.Therefore, the children of the second and third families don't even have Yin officials, and now they rely on the property that the Wu family set up in Beijing to make a living.

After seeing so many people, Zhang Yue sighed that he had seen what a big family is. He couldn't help but think of the Ningrong Second Mansion in the Dream of the Red Chamber. The family goes on.

The second and third children of the Wu family are very self-cultivated and courteous. Of course, they also understand that the situation of the Wu family is not as good as it used to be. Maybe ten or twenty years later, the Wu family will rely on Zhang Yue.

When Wu Chong's father, Wu Daiwen, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was in Beijing, every time a villager came to visit, no matter what the status of the villager was, he would make his sons and nephews to serve and teach (see Neng Gaizhai Manlu).

It can be seen from this that when Wu Daiwen was there, the Wu family had very strict education. No wonder all four sons were awarded Jinshi and a prime minister was born.

Now that Wu Daiwen is gone, although the family style is a little loose, it is still generally upright.

Seeing that Zhang Yue and everyone in the Wu family were talking about the same, Wu Chong called Zhang Yue to the side hall.

Zhang Yue understood that this father-in-law had something to tell him.
