After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 897 Confession and Return to the Bride's Home

Fearing that his words would not be able to soothe Qin Xiaogu's heart, he slowly sat down next to her, gently touched her hand, and after seeing that she did not resist, he took her hand, smiled warmly, and said, "Sister Shu, this is our home, and this house is still in your name. Don't be afraid, do whatever you want, you have the right to do so."

Qin Xiaogu felt the warmth and patience from his hand, which calmed her down a lot. She looked up at him and said firmly, "Yes, I'm at home. Don't worry. You can go and entertain the guests without worrying about me."

After thinking for a moment, she boldly placed one of her palms on the clerk's large palm.

The clerk's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face deepened and widened.

His chosen wife was indeed excellent; she appeared gentle but possessed a strong inner strength.

He looked forward to the days he would spend with her.

"Alright." Clerk Guan nodded and said, suppressing his reluctance, he got up and left the bridal chamber.

Old Madam Guan was talking to Granny Qin and Qin Dashi's wife.

Today, Granny Qin was quite assertive, no longer flattering Old Madam Guan. Instead, she said, "Our Shu girl is as beautiful as an angel. She's been studying and reading since she was little. She can understand even the most difficult books, she's better than a scholar..."

"His life was incredibly fortunate. Before he was even engaged, his family became extremely wealthy and made great contributions; right after the engagement, his parents were granted official titles and honors by imperial decree."

"My God, I'm not bragging, but in the entire Northeast, how many parents can receive an imperial edict from the Emperor himself? How many?!"

"Brother Nong is really lucky to be my fifth brother and sister-in-law's son-in-law!"

Qin Dashi's wife was afraid that Qin Liupo was getting too cocky, so she secretly poked Qin Liupo in the back, but Qin Liupo ignored her completely and continued to boast.

However, Madam Guan didn't think it was bad at all, and even chimed in: "That's right, my eldest grandson is really lucky to have such a good wife and in-laws, as well as a bunch of capable relatives and nephews. Now the whole county is envious of him."

"Even I, an old woman, am the envy of many."

"And what I, this old woman, am most satisfied with is that, because of my granddaughter-in-law, Sister Shu, I have gained a group of adorable little juniors."

No kidding, Madam Guan adored the children Qin Xiaogu, Qin Xiaomai, the three Jiang siblings, Qin Jingyi, and Xiao Fubao, and wished she could play with them every day.

Oh, right, and Qin Xiaomi too.

This girl is just right for her!

She also wanted to see how far her daughter, Xiaomi, could go in her lifetime.
"Hahaha, I'm not bragging, but the Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families are extremely lucky with offspring. Little Yunping was just born not long ago, and in a few months, Little Lubao will be born."

"And my Ah Ying and Ah Jie, they'll definitely be fathers next year. And the Er Zhuang couple, the Quan Zi couple, and the Er Yong couple, they'll probably be fathers next year too!" Granny Qin really couldn't stop praising herself once she started.

Madam Guan also liked to hear this, and nodded, saying, "That's right, our in-law families are becoming more and more prosperous."

The clerk had been out for a while, but seeing his grandmother chatting so enthusiastically, he didn't make a sound to disturb her.

Fortunately, Madam Guan finally noticed him and said with a smile, "Our family's wedding banquet has already started. Go and greet the guests, and come back after you have toasted them. As for the rest, Master Qiong will help take care of things. We won't neglect the guests."

"Yes, grandson understands. I'll leave the house to Grandmother, Aunt Liu, and Sister-in-law Da Shi." After bowing to them, Clerk Guan left with a sense of good fortune and went to Taifu Restaurant to entertain the guests.

……

The old street and the new main street were bustling with activity due to the wedding banquets of the Qin and Guan families.

The bride's family had already eaten a feast before the wedding procession, so after the procession ended, the guests began to say goodbye to the host family.

Grandpa and Grandma Qin, along with the relatives who hadn't attended the wedding, accompanied the Qin family's servants, carrying a pile of thank-you gifts, to see the guests off. The guests were truly reluctant to leave, especially Tang Boyang from the county town's cloth shop, who longed to hold Grandpa and Grandma Qin's hands and say goodbye until the end of time, but alas, the Imperial Guards were present.

If the guests said too much in farewell, General Bei would order the Imperial Guards to beat the celebratory drums to urge them on.

dong dong.

"The banquet is now adjourned. Respectfully seeing off our distinguished guests!"

Tang Boyang could only take the Qin family's thank-you gift and leave, letting the next guest come to say goodbye.

However, Tang Boyang was already quite satisfied, because many wealthy families in prefectures and capitals had no way of getting a chance to attend the Qin family's wedding banquet.

Tang Boyang received a wedding invitation from the Qin family and was seated at the familiar seats in the workshop's courtyard!
Tang Boyang could boast about this kind of prestige for the rest of his life.

Before leaving, Tang Boyang looked back at the students who were still working hard... He had to hurry up and have a son so that he could study at the town school in Taifeng. He had donated money and there were two places available for him.

"Mr. and Mrs. Qin, thank you so much for saving our lives." As Mr. and Mrs. Chen Xiaoqi took their leave, they solemnly bowed to the two elders of the Qin family.

Grandpa Qin hurriedly said, "There's no need for that. You're innocent. Besides, when our families first fled here, Chen Xiaoqi helped us several times. We're just repaying him once. Chen Xiaoqi doesn't need to hold it against us."

Grandma Qin also looked at Chen Xiaoqi's wife and said with a smile, "Yuanhui, come and visit this old woman often when you have time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi's wife, Yuan Hui, brightened up with her round almond-shaped eyes and nodded, "Yes, yes, I will definitely visit Madam Qin often. Please don't find me troublesome."

The family members, including Uncle Chen, all told them to get along well with the Qin family, not because the Qin family had become successful, but because the Qin family genuinely helped them when they needed it!
"How could I find it troublesome? This old woman is looking forward to your visit." Grandma Qin smiled; she genuinely liked Chen Xiaoqi and his wife.

This young couple are both rare examples of honest and kind-hearted younger generations.

Later, when Gong Zongqi's family saw this, they were very envious.

When they went to say goodbye to the two elders, they were genuinely warm to them, saying that the two families should remain old friends.

General Gong and his family were overjoyed.

Mrs. Gong was a straightforward person, and she immediately changed her address to address Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin as "Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin".

General Gong: "..."

Can we be a little more polite? Calling them "uncle" and "aunt" so casually is just a polite way of saying "I love you." If the Qin family elders are just being polite, and you keep calling them that, wouldn't that cause them trouble?

Grandpa and Grandma Qin happily agreed: "Yes!"

Mrs. Gong then called her four children over and had them greet him, "Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin."

General Gong felt a little embarrassed and quickly took his leave: "Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin, I have to go back to my post at the military headquarters and have to rush back to the county. I'll come to see you two another day."

After Grandpa and Grandma Qin nodded, they hurriedly led their family to meet up with Chen Xiaoqi and his wife, and then headed to the county together.

Many guests did not go home that day, but stayed at inns or relatives' homes, but none of them stayed any longer and took their leave in a line.

The Qin family had become quite famous, so they had many guests. It wasn't until after 4 PM that they finished seeing off all the guests.

At the Lü Family Inn, the students were already half-slumped in their chairs, shouting with their last bit of strength, "Food! Give us food! Give us food quickly!"
