Chapter 415: Meeting the In-Laws 2
Looking at the maids, servants and younger generations, he was a little angry that his elder brother and sister-in-law did not give him face, "Sister-in-law, you are going too far!"
"If my second brother wants to go back, he can go back. We can entertain my eldest son's relatives ourselves." Mrs. Wu was no longer tolerant.
No one can ruin her daughter's return home!
Although Mr. Wu felt humiliated, he could not lose his temper as he saw the Gu family approaching, so he had to endure it.
He can't leave yet.
Now that the family has not yet been divided, no matter who gives a gift, it belongs to the public. Even if it is given by a peasant, he will also look at what is given and what is given in return to avoid suffering a loss.
He immediately shut up, but his whole face turned red.
He took a few deep breaths and then said, "As the second uncle, I have to support the third lady. I am a person who considers the overall situation, unlike some people..."
Some people: ...Mrs. Wu, just ignore him.
At this time, the Gu family had already approached, and Uncle Wu and his wife no longer had time to pay attention to this erratic second brother.
The carriage stopped and they hurried to meet it.
Two men got out of the two carriages first.
After nodding to this side, he stretched out his hand and helped the two women down.
The two women were wearing new styles of clothes, and the color combinations were particularly beautiful and suitable for their status.
The fabric of the clothes is also very exquisite and it is the style that is popular in Beijing recently.
Her attire was no different from that of the ladies from aristocratic families.
When Mr. Wu saw this, he secretly complained in his heart that this third girl was really good at saving face for herself.
I guess she spent all her dowry money on this trip back to her parents' home.
Look at this outfit!
But this family was quite good-looking, very different from the farmers he had imagined.
Clothes make the man, and this family is really good at dressing up.
After Mrs. Wu glanced at everyone, her eyes were fixed on her own daughter.
I saw that my daughter was much whiter than when she was in the boudoir, with a radiant and smooth skin. Her eyebrows seemed to have grown a little, and she was three times more beautiful than before.
He even smiles more often and becomes much more lively.
Looking at the smiling lady standing aside, with clear features and brows, it is obvious that she is a cheerful person.
I guess this person is my mother-in-law.
Without waiting for Madam Wu to come forward to greet her, Wu Wanqing saw her parents waiting at the door and called out in surprise, "Dad, Mom, your daughter is back to see you!"
While calling, he walked quickly forward and threw himself into his mother's arms like a young swallow.
Mrs. Wu watched her daughter running towards her and throwing herself into her arms affectionately. She subconsciously hugged her daughter and was stunned for a moment.
My daughter is always dignified and serious at home, doesn't like to talk much, and doesn't have such a lively personality. Could it be that she has been wronged?
This was the first time her daughter had been so affectionate towards her.
Although she enjoyed it, it was in front of her daughter's in-laws, so how could she be so rude?
He quickly patted his daughter's back and asked her to stand up straight.
Then he whispered, "Your mother-in-law is still here? Pay attention to the rules."
Wu Wanqing stuck out her tongue playfully at her mother, "My mother-in-law doesn't care about me, and she even wants me to be more lively."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu looked at the Gu family.
They all looked at him and his daughter with smiles in their eyes, without a trace of anger on their faces.
My son-in-law is so handsome! This relative? He is too young!
Wu Wanqing then remembered that this was the first time they met, and hurried forward to introduce the two parties.
"Mother-in-law, thank you for taking care of Qing'er over the years!" said Mrs. Wu.
"No way, you have taught Qing'er very well." Miao said modestly.
"No, it's you who are the ones who teach her. My daughter is not so lively at home. She always looks mature and steady. I'm afraid that she is too dull and will not be liked by her husband's family."
"No, no, it's better to be more reserved in the capital. We are all from the countryside, and we don't pay much attention to rules on weekdays. As for the younger generation, it's better to be more lively and comfortable in front of us."
"That's right! Let's go in and talk, sisters."
"Okay, okay, thank you for leading the way, sister."
As they spoke, the two of them walked towards Wu's residence, arm in arm, like good sisters.
Master Wu and the second master also hurriedly went in to greet Gu Dajiang and Gu Xiang.
When the Wu family saw the appearance of the Gu family, they couldn't help but put away their contemptuous thoughts.
As they walked and talked, they discovered that although the Gu family came from a farming family, they not only did not have a farming air at all, but they could also handle every topic they talked about.
His knowledge is so broad and his thoughts are so deep that even those of them who have been in the capital for a long time and have been involved in court affairs cannot compare to him.
Everyone had a great time chatting.
When they arrived at the flower hall and tea was served, the Gu family's housekeepers brought up the gifts one by one.
When they saw the boxes and crates piled up all over the room, they realized that the three carts at the back were all gifts for their family.
After looking at the gift list, Mrs. Wu felt that it was too expensive.
"Oh, my dear relatives, your gift is too expensive! Our two families don't need such expensive gifts."
As Mrs. Wu spoke, she instructed the servants, "Hurry up and load these back onto the car for my in-laws."
"Oh, sister-in-law, what are you doing? What we sent here are just some ordinary things. If you don't believe me, just ask Qing'er. She knows." Miao hurriedly stopped her.
Seeing her mother's lack of knowledge, Wu Wanqing had no choice but to listen to her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, these are just ordinary things for us, so just accept them. Some of them were picked by your daughter herself."
When Mrs. Wu heard her daughter say this, she stopped refusing and told the maids to carry the gifts to the storeroom first.
It took several servants and an intelligent butler more than ten trips to move everything.
Master Wu's heart finally settled down. He had never expected this peasant to give so many gifts. He had a share of them. How could he refuse them?
Fortunately, this peasant knows etiquette.
The Gu family stayed at the Wu family until they finished lunch and then left.
"Sister, the guest house has been cleaned up. You can stay here for a few more days. Why leave in such a hurry?" Mrs. Wu said anxiously.
After getting along with each other for a while, they were extremely satisfied with the Gu family.
“Thank you for your kindness, dear relatives. However, we brought many people with us this time and they have already settled down at the post station, so we will not disturb you here.
It’s just that you haven’t seen each other for a few years, and I’m sure you miss Qing’er too much, so let them stay and accompany you for a few days. We have some things to do in the capital, so we won’t stay any longer.” Miao refused.
Mrs. Wu and Mr. Wu looked at each other, and seeing their daughter nodding, they stopped trying to keep him.
Madam Wu gave the nanny beside her a look, and the nanny went downstairs to arrange the return gift.
Gu Dajiang and Miao left a carriage for the young couple. After the meal, they said goodbye to their in-laws, took a few carriages of return gifts, and returned to the post station.
