Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 170 Returning
The next day, Qu Shaoyang did not get up early for the first time. He hugged his wife and slept until dawn.

If Xiaozhi hadn't called them over for dinner, the young couple would have gotten up.

The two of them quickly got up, dressed, and after a simple wash, they went out to the East Courtyard to have breakfast.

Lin Ruolan had once instructed that three days before the wedding, cooking was not allowed in the bridal chamber, and that Qu Shaoyang and his wife should eat in the east courtyard.

The young couple walked hand in hand to the East Courtyard side by side. Just at that time, Lin Ruolan had already prepared the meal.

After entering the door, Chen Xiuyun quickly helped to clean up the food, and everyone sat down to eat together.

Qu Shaoyang glared at Xiao Zhi. This little brat actually led people to eavesdrop from the window last night.

Xiao Zhi must have noticed his brother's gaze. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Qu Shaoyang. He just kept shoveling rice into the bowl.

"Okay, stop glaring at Xiaozhi, I was the one who asked him to go over and eavesdrop from the window last night.

It's not good if the new house is not lively. There is no one to make trouble in the bridal chamber. It would be boring if there is no one to listen at the window.

Don't worry, I told Xiaozhi not to tell anyone about what he heard."

Liu Dongshan saw the subtle atmosphere between the two brothers and couldn't help laughing, so he hurried to plead for Xiaozhi.

Making a fuss in the bridal chamber and listening to the noises from the window are customs that have been passed down for many years, so Qu Shaoyang naturally couldn't say anything.

He was just trying to scare Xiao Zhi just now. Now that the master has spoken, he just put the matter aside.

The family chatted and laughed while eating. Lin Ruolan picked up some food for Chen Xiuyun from time to time and told her not to be embarrassed to eat.

After breakfast, Chen Xiuyun helped to clear the table, wash the dishes, etc., and then played with Shuanzhu and Xiaofeng for a while.

Afterwards, the young couple returned to the west courtyard and gathered Chen Xiuyun's dowry and put away the dowry list.

Qu Shaoyang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he looked at the gold and silver jewelry, silver, land and real estate that the Chen family had given as a gift.

The Chen family was so afraid that their daughter would suffer after marrying into the family, so they gave her a house and land. Unexpectedly, he married a wealthy woman.

“Please keep these things for yourself and leave them to your children in the future.

If you follow me, you will definitely not have to suffer, and you will definitely not need these things. "

Qu Shaoyang handed the checked dowry list to Chen Xiuyun and asked her to keep it properly.

"Boss, shouldn't we send back all the rented things? We agreed to return them today." Jiang Chunfu asked loudly while standing in the yard.

"You rest at home for a while, and go to sleep if you are tired. I'm going to go out and do something, and we'll talk when I come back."

Qu Shaoyang threw down these words and quickly walked out of the room.

Qu Shaoyang led a few men and drove a horse-drawn carriage to deliver the rented items back to the owners.

After arriving at the place, we will compare it with the list. If there is anything missing or damaged, we will compensate you according to the price.

This is normal and will happen in every wedding.

On the way back, I bought some snacks, tea, wine and other things to save as gifts for tomorrow's return visit.

In the evening, the young couple went to the East Courtyard to eat again. After the meal, they chatted with Liu Dongshan and his wife for a while, and then teased Shuanzhu and Xiao Fenger.

It was the second day after the wedding, and it seemed like I didn’t do anything, and the day just passed by.

The next day was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the day when the newlyweds would return to their parents’ home for three days.

Early in the morning, Lin Ruolan sent Xiao Zhi over to call people.

After the young couple went there, Lin Ruolan took out a lot of things and said that these were gifts prepared for them.

"Master's wife, I have prepared all the gifts for the return visit. You can keep these." Qu Shaoyang said hurriedly after taking a look.

Lin Ruolan refused no matter what and insisted that Qu Shaoyang and his wife take the things she had prepared.

The young couple had no choice but to agree.

So the two of them went back to the west courtyard to change their clothes, and Chen Xiuyun redid her makeup. Then they picked up their things and went back home together.

The Qu family is very close to the Chen family, and it only takes a short walk to get there.

At the Chen family's side, the door had been opened long ago, and the brothers Chen Yunhan and Chen Yunzhe were about to go over to receive them. When they saw their brother-in-law and sister, the young couple, talking and laughing, coming over, they hurried forward to greet them.

"Little sister, brother-in-law, please come into the house quickly, our parents are waiting."

"Big brother, second brother." Qu Shaoyang greeted the two of them hurriedly when he saw them.

Then, the four people entered the Chen family's gate and went straight to the main house.

In the main east room, Doctor Chen and Li were waiting anxiously. Doctor Chen had been restless ever since his daughter left the house.

The flowers that I have carefully nurtured for seventeen years were taken away with their pots. No one would feel happy about it.

When Doctor Chen got up early this morning, he walked back and forth on the ground, muttering to himself, which annoyed Mrs. Li very much.

Hearing footsteps outside, Li quickly pulled her husband to sit down.

"Okay, please be quiet for a while. I'm dizzy from having you running around all morning.

When the son-in-law comes home, he is not allowed to cause any trouble.

Our son-in-law is very kind. The couple are newlyweds, so please don’t be so blunt and say something unpleasant to the ear.”

Li reminded him again and again, fearing that her husband would become stubborn.

"Oh, I see. Am I that kind of person?"

Doctor Chen said this as he quickly dusted himself off, straightened his collar, and sat down.

Just at this time, Qu Shaoyang and his wife entered the house accompanied by Chen Yunhan's brothers. The young couple came forward to greet them.

"Dad, Mom, I hope you're doing well."

"Hey, hey, okay, all good, all good."

Doctor Chen and his wife were laughing happily. They quickly asked their daughter and son-in-law to get up, and then Chen Yunhan moved a chair for them to sit down.

Li looked her daughter up and down, and seeing that her face was rosy and her complexion was very good, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Just at that moment Qu Shaoyang was chatting with the three men of the Chen family, so Li called her daughter to the west room.

"Girl, how is Shaoyang treating you? Are you used to it over there?"

Li was also worried about her daughter, but she didn't want to exaggerate it like her husband.

Although her daughter seemed to be doing well, Li still wanted to ask in person.

"Mom, Brother Shaoyang treats me very well and always goes along with me in everything."

Chen Xiuyun was a little embarrassed, her face blushing, and she spoke in a low voice.

“We didn’t cook for the past two days, we just ate at the master’s place.

Master and his wife are also very kind to me. The gifts I just brought back were all prepared by them."

Li nodded and said, "You are lucky. Shaoyang's parents are both in his hometown in Shandong. They are not around, so there is no one to set rules for you after you get married.

You two can live your life behind closed doors with no one interfering.

However, from now on, you must be more respectful to Shaoyang's master and his wife.

I really have nothing to say about you. Even your own parents may not be able to do this." Li pulled her daughter's hand and carefully admonished her.

“The advantage of not having your parents-in-law around is that you don’t have to suffer.

But there is also a disadvantage, which is that when you have children in the future, there will be no one to help you.

It doesn’t matter. Your father and I live close to each other. If anything happens in the future, we can go and help you.

Then there are Shaoyang’s master and his wife, both of them are very nice.

With our help, you two will definitely have a good life."
