Chapter 41 Back to the Door
On the second day of the wedding, tea was offered to recognize relatives. The newlyweds changed into another set of wedding clothes, which was still very festive and grand. The wife narrowed her eyes with a smile, as if she was in love with it. Mrs. Zheng looked at the plump, white and tender new daughter-in-law standing next to her thin and thin son, and felt very satisfied in her heart. A pair of high-quality mutton jade bracelets were placed on the new wife's tea tray.

Seeing Zheng Jingyan, his brows were slightly frowned: that was given to his mother by his father, how precious is it, and it was given to Yiqing?Mother, you are still so honest!
Mrs. Zheng gave a whole set of purple gold head mask inlaid with rubies. She said with a smile: "When I was a bride, my mother-in-law gave it to me and asked me to wear it when I returned home! Now I give it to my granddaughter-in-law. It was cleaned just for you, tomorrow, you will wear it back to your mother’s house for a stroll!"

The eldest aunt and the second aunt of Zheng's mansion next to each other glanced at each other, Fang Zheng said sourly: "Mother, you can really hide, I can only see such a beautiful thing today!"

Mrs. Zheng laughed and said, "Is there any shortage of my beautiful things? None of you have taken away some of my rare things? This is not considered the best thing, but it is of great significance, passed on from generation to generation, understand? You guys, get married one by one, don't even think about it, only my granddaughter-in-law, I'll give her whatever she wants!"

Aunt Zheng's aunt and Zheng Jingyan's younger sister, Zheng Lanti coquettishly pushed the old lady lightly, and said, "Old ancestor, you are biased!"

Mrs. Zheng patted her back lovingly, and said with a smile: "You, you are only a girl now. When you give birth to a son in the future, I see if you are partial!"

There was constant laughter and chatter in the hall, and Yiqing felt sore when receiving presents. She happened to see Zheng Jingyan's ambiguous eyes glance over, and she smiled back at him sweetly: "Be patient, Lord Marquis, toast a few more cups of tea to receive more presents, To make up for the few drops of blood I shed this morning!

Another busy day has passed, and this day is still a banquet, but it is a reunion of family relatives, the new daughter-in-law recognizes her relatives, toasts and conversations at tables and tables, the groom has to accompany him, wherever he goes, he is inseparable, Returning to the new house at night, Yiqing lay down so tired, Zheng Jingyan looked at her with a snort, changed clothes and went out by himself.

When she came back in the middle of the night, Yiqing was already sound asleep, the two of them were still one outside and the other inside, they slept peacefully until dawn.

On the third day, the new aunt accompanied the new aunt back home. Zheng Jingyan only lingered in Pang's house for a day, drinking and drinking tea with the Pang clan. It also didn't mention that women give birth before the full moon, men are taboo, she is not willing to let people disturb the mother's confinement!
She and her aunt went to the west courtyard by herself. Mrs. Zhao and Fang Yuxian had already arrived. Yiqing gave her mother and aunt a homecoming ceremony, and then saluted her cousin. This is what a married woman should do when meeting her natal relatives etiquette.

Fang Yuxian pulled Yiqing to whisper, Yiqing blushed like a pomegranate flower, Fang Yuxian praised: "You look so good, it makes me jealous!"

Le Qing didn't wait for them to finish speaking, she rushed forward and grabbed Yi Qing, saying: "Sister is so beautiful!"

Zhao said with a smile: "Silly boy, you are so beautiful to be a bride. In the future, you will have this day!"

Yue Qing smiled shyly, and asked again: "Sister, why doesn't brother-in-law come to our house?"

Yiqing was walking to her mother's side to see her younger brother, when she heard this she raised her head and said in embarrassment: "When I was leaving the house, the old lady also said..."

Mrs. Zhao immediately waved her hands in understanding, and said with a click of the tongue: "Some families are so particular! Rong Pinghou is the only seedling in the Zheng family, how can the old lady take it easy? The future is long, we don't plan to be here at this time, come From time to time, he will always come to visit his mother-in-law and brother-in-law!"

Yiqing lowered her eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart that I'm sorry for you, old lady, your grandson is arrogant and doesn't know how to be a gentleman, so I can only shake your head!
In fact, Mrs. Zheng never said that Zheng Jingyan would not have to visit his mother-in-law for the time being. She even specifically confessed in front of Yiqing that the couple should kowtow to their mother-in-law.

Grandma Pang Da laughed and said: "My aunt said yes! The etiquette of the Hou Mansion is the most thoughtful, and the homecoming gifts sent are thick and thoughtful. Our second master's family is still in other provinces, but we didn't leave it behind. A big gift, really thoughtful! If it weren't for our aunt's confinement, Master Hou would have come to visit his mother-in-law long ago!"

Pang Ruxue took Yiqing's hand to look carefully, then touched her face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't see people well at the moment, when your father comes to Beijing, you husband and wife come back, and our family will be reunited , that's the best!"

Yiqing sighed slightly inwardly, but with a bright smile, she nodded and said, "Okay, I hope Daddy will come soon!"

It is customary for the bride to go home before sunset. The Rongping Hou Mansion and the Pang Mansion are only a few streets away, so there is no need to hurry, but it is not sloppy. Therefore, after the banquet, the Pang Mansion sent the newlyweds to the house. Go out and send them back early.

Zheng Jingyan was a little drunk and didn't ride a horse, so he got into Yiqing's carriage with the help of Du Zhong, the long follower.

He drank a lot of wine today, Pang Ruxue returned to Beijing, Pang's family recognized his granddaughter, and many relatives and friends who hadn't moved around for more than ten years began to see each other again, except for Pang Ruxue's grandfather Wu's family, cousins ​​Zhao's family, Fang's family, and Gu's family. In addition, there are other relatives present at the banquet today, and many of them are being recruited by the princes, such as the Fang family's son-in-law Gu Xin, the Zhao family's son-in-law Wang Daojing, and the Wu family who has emerged in the capital's literary circles in the past two years. Wu Mengqi, the young son of Wu Mengqi... Pang Ruxue's mother and daughter lived in a place in the south of the Yangtze River that was so closed that they didn't know that they had so many relatives?

While closing her eyes and resting her mind, she accidentally opened her eyes and saw Xia Yiqing sitting upright on the side with her eyes looking at her nose and heart, her expression elegant and peaceful. Zheng Jingyan thought it was quite interesting. Guess what she was scheming at this time?
On the day of returning home, he deliberately used the name of Pang's confinement, and did not visit his mother-in-law. She didn't show any anger on her face, and she didn't complain a word. Can it really be so large?

The two went back to the house to visit their grandmother and mother in Anhetang. Mrs. Zheng asked a few words with a smile. Seeing that both of them looked tired, she knew that they were tired today, so she thoughtfully asked them to go back to their room to rest.

The new house is located in Yuhui Courtyard, adjacent to Hanjin Courtyard. Zheng Jingyan refused to convert Hanjin Courtyard into a new house shared by husband and wife on the pretext that he needed to study quietly and cultivate his mind. To build a new house, the low wall in the middle was opened and a door was built for a month, so that it was convenient for him to come and go from both sides.

Zheng Jingyan originally wanted to go back to Hanjin Courtyard directly, but he changed his mind and stayed here. After taking a bath and changing clothes in Yuhui Courtyard, he asked the maidservants to leave after Cuixiang brought refreshments. Cuixiang closed the door behind him and shut the couple inside.
