Chapter 29:

Li Cheng didn't think that it was too much to promise Gu Celadon to let her stay at her natal family, or it was worth mentioning it.
But others don't think so, even Gu Celadon thinks so.
This is related to the current environment and atmosphere. Generally speaking, when a woman marries someone, except for New Year holidays or weddings in her natal family, she usually does not return home easily.
Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the married daughter throws out water.
Occasionally, my husband is very considerate to go back once or twice, and in this case, he will return on the same day.
It’s really rare to stay for ten days and a half a month. If there is still mother-in-law and father-in-law in the family’s house, I would not agree.
That's why Li Cheng responded to this matter, and Gu Celadon was so excited.
Immediately told the news to Mother Zhang and Yuzhu Yuchuan, so that they could pack their things quickly.
Grandma Zhang was very surprised and couldn't help but ask a few more words: "Grandpa really promised grandma? Don't coax grandma with jokes."
The corners of Gu Celadon's mouth curled up, "Mother, the grandfather agreed personally. Of course it is true. How can I lie to you."
"Ouch, that's a great thing! Grandpa really loves our grandma." Grandma Zhang kicked her feet with joy, then she thought about it, and then asked: "Does the old lady know that too? Uncle Everbright agreed. Nothing."
Yuzhu walked over and took Grandma Zhang’s hand and said, "Don’t worry, grandma. When did the uncle do something incomplete? Now that the old lady is responsive to our grandma, she doesn’t use special rules to press our grandma over to eat. Please peace, save a lot of trouble. I think the old lady must know this."
Yu Chuan followed: "But grandma didn't share most of the pastries and pastries with seafood, fruits and vegetables sent by the second wife. In this way, they still have a lot of advantage."
After hearing this, Yuzhu pursed her lips and smiled, and stretched out her hand to nod Yu Chuan's head, "You stupid girl, who hasn't learned to be smarter in serving the young lady for so many years, what those foods are worth, this mention seems to us stingy. It is said that the second wife sent these things to the Li family, and the reason why she let people move into our yard that day was really to give her grandma a head, so that the Li family would no longer dare to neglect and insult.
Besides, among the things the second wife sent, those ginseng antlers and medicinal materials are serious and good things. You can see the food in your eyes. "
Grandma Zhang nodded as she listened. She felt that the girl Yuzhu was really smart and exquisite. She said, "It's the truth, Yuhuan should learn more."
Yu Chuan said, "You are all born with ten and eight confidantes."
Several people laughed out loud in an instant.
Li Cheng naturally told the Sun family that Gu Celadon was going back to her family's house. The Sun family didn't say anything, but just asked: "You personally send her there, set a good date, and then pick it up in person."
Li Cheng had planned this way, so he nodded.
The next day, Gu Celadon did not fall asleep, got up early to dress up, and chose new clothes from the closet that hadn't been turned on. They were all fashionable new materials this year.
The shoes are pink embroidered shoes with beads, and the jade beads are combing the hair bun.
After fixing it, I wore a collar and earrings. One wrist was a white jade bracelet, and the other jade bead was about to help put on the pair of fine gold carved bracelets that Gu Celadon Sori preferred.
Gu Celadon stopped aloud: "Wait a minute, don't wear this today, get me that." She reached out and pointed to the jewelry box.
When Yuzhu saw it, she smiled: "Good grandma, I also think the bracelet bought by the uncle is beautiful." After speaking, the bracelet was also worn.
Gu Celadon stood up, took a photo in the mirror, and turned around again, consciously satisfied.
He said: "Okay, go to eat, and go out when you are full."
"Hey, I'll call my uncle."
Li Cheng looked up and saw that Gu Celadon was dressed glamorously today, and he was not stingy, and he exaggerated a few words.
Gu Celadon blushed, and the girls next to him bowed their heads and laughed.
The two of them had eaten breakfast, and they had to tidy up before leaving the house.
The two girls, Yuzhu and Yuchuan, also went together, the carriage was already waiting outside, and Xiaomanguyu and the others were moving into the carriage.
Although the weather is good, it is windy outside. It was already November, and it was very cold, and Li Cheng gave Gu Celadon a cloak.
The two went up and sat down, and the carriage slowly drove away, the wheels creaking in circles.
The two girls followed the car.
People come and go on the street, there are many restaurants and shops, and there are small stalls everywhere. The shouts are constant and it is very lively.
Gu Celadon was in a great mood, and carefully raised a corner of the curtain to look outside.
While talking to Li Chengze: "I heard from my third brother that the roasted pigeon in Fumanlou was the most delicious, but unfortunately I have never eaten it."
When Li Cheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Have you ever been to Fumanlou?"
Gu Qingci glanced at him strangely and said, "How can I be there? It's the place where the men eat. Which young lady will go inside and let people gossip."
The married woman is slightly better. If the man in the family booked a private room upstairs to take it with him, it would mean that the husband and wife are very affectionate, and no one would say anything.
Unmarried girls are not so free.
Li Cheng was surprised, "Then when you went out before, where did you go to play."
Gu Celadon nuanced, and said: "I can't go out often. The lady's housekeeper is also strict. Except for other people's banquets and flowers, it is good to go out once a month. This has to be carried by the mother. , A concubine like my fifth sister, her aunt is just a concubine, she can't get out of the house in one step, as long as my mother doesn't bring her fifth sister, she can't even get out of the second door.
I went out with my mother. I usually go to some familiar jewelry shops and silk shops to buy things, or go to the temple to offer incense on the first or the fifteenth day of the new year. "
Li Cheng heard what Gu Celadon said, only to realize that he had a big misunderstanding.
What he thinks is actually very different from reality.
Noble ladies like Gu Celadon are not allowed to play arbitrarily even when they go out. There are many rules.
Such as these trivial things in life, one by one, they all reflect the difficulty of being a woman. Even if it is the home of the public, it is also restricted by the strict ethics.
Li Cheng sighed in his heart, but smiled on his face: "Good girl, what kind of good things are worth thinking about for so long, and I will take you there later."
"That's a good deal!" Gu Qingci's eyes were bright.
The two were talking in the car, and before they knew it, Mingdehou's Mansion arrived.
The second wife died early and waited at the door. Seeing a carriage coming from a distance, the young man hurriedly called the person inside.
Several mothers and maids came out and led them in.
Li Cheng was taken by the young man to meet the second master, and Gu Celadon went directly to the inner courtyard.
Miss Six, like the news that Uncle Li came to the mansion, flew to the mansion and courtyards with wings.
Some want to see the excitement and some want to see the jokes.
It's not a year or a festival, and nothing major has happened in the house, why did this low-married man return? Didn't you come to beat the autumn wind?
The maids of three or two other hospitals hid in a place to discuss the master, not without malicious guessing.
The second wife is probably the only one who really expects Gu Celadon's family to come.
Li Cheng followed the rules to meet the second master, his current father-in-law, but he was not very enthusiastic about him. After a few words, he waved his hand and asked him to greet the second wife by himself.
Li Cheng is not a sour scholar with strong self-esteem, which is almost the same as meeting a stranger, so let alone the feeling of being looked down upon, neglected and insulted.
The face is very indifferent, leaving with kindness.
Such a performance made the second master glance at him in surprise.
In contrast, the second wife was too enthusiastic about Li Chengze, and when they met, they called each son-in-law.
But she is a good mother, more responsible than that father.
As a woman, how can the second wife not know the hardships after marrying someone? If she doesn't have the heart of her husband, the rest of her life is like being soaked in bitter water, day by day.
Therefore, it can be said that she acts like this for her daughter.
The second wife asked whether the family was good or how well the old lady in-law was healthy.
Li Cheng answered one by one.
After sitting for a quarter of an hour and drinking a cup of tea, Li Cheng got up and prepared to leave.
The second wife naturally refused and insisted on keeping someone for lunch.
Li Cheng said softly that there was still something outside, and it was difficult to be late for an appointment.
The second wife naturally left a few more words to do face work.
Li Cheng didn't say anything, but Gu Celadon was impatient to hear it. She said: "Mother does what she keeps and stays, and she is so busy every day, since we have an appointment on how people can eat together with us."
"What are you talking about?" The second wife smiled and whispered Gu Celadon, then turned to look at Li Chengze's face secretly, fearing that her daughter would make people angry, and quickly explained, "This girl called I'm spoiled and straight-eyed, and I don't speak well. It's no wonder my son-in-law is."
Li Cheng said hurriedly: "Mother-in-law has been worrying too much. Porcelain is innocent and simple, not bad."
The second wife was pleased to hear this, with a smile on her face, so that the maid beside her led Li Chengze out.
After that, the second wife and Gu Celadon went into the inner room to talk.
The second wife took Gu Celadon's hand and watched her from top to bottom.
Seeing her daughter's ruddy complexion, round cheeks and clear eyes, there is no big difference when she is married and raised in a boudoir.
Only then did I believe that my daughter didn't endure hardships in Li's family and was not wronged.
I felt relieved and let out a long breath.
However, thinking of her daughter's recklessness, she lightly nodded her head and said, "How can you still be so ignorant after you marry? If you say the blunt son-in-law, you are not afraid that he will be angry and hate you."
Gu Qingci didn't take it seriously, "Mother thinks too much, he is not such a stingy person." She waved her hand and said with a soft smile, "I always said what he did, I It's so easy to come back once, doesn't my mother want me?"
The second wife couldn't help but laughed. The mother and daughter sat in the same place and talked intimately.

On the other hand, Aunt Zhou's fifth girl and her daughter had heard the words from the girl early in the morning, saying that the sixth girl and the uncle came to the house.
The fifth girl was holding the kerchief with a disdain, and said: "What is she here for? I think she has a broken jar now, and she is becoming more shameless. It's not good to stay in her poor house, and go back to the house if she has nothing to do. Not afraid of people laughing!"
Aunt Zhou sent the little girl to inquire, and turned back to the fifth girl and said: "Sixth girl is not worth mentioning now. If it can't hinder your way, she won't be able to catch up with you in the future, but you should pay attention outside and don't call others. hear."
The fifth girl smiled, "Auntie should worry about this, I'm not the idiot Gu Celadon. She came back this time, maybe she was suffering from the poor house and couldn't make it through, so she came to the second wife to cry and complain. "
Aunt Zhou couldn't help holding her veil to joke, "Stupid and clumsy, who would like Gu Celadon like that? She suffers from someone else's house.
She held a generous dowry in her hand again, fearing that she would have to worry about it sooner or later, and she might end up with a loss of personal wealth. "
The more the mother and daughter wanted to make up for Gu Celadon's miserable situation, the happier they were, giggling in their throats.
