Chapter 7 Back to the Door
The Great Zhou Dynasty is still a bit humane, not to mention the high salary, and there are marriage leave,

Yuan Wenshao can spend more time with his wife these few days, as well as moving matters, and it will not be too late to go to official business after he is busy. Besides, he is a general, as long as he does not fight, he has more time than a civil servant.

The next day is the day to return home,
Early in the morning, Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan went to Sheng's house in Jiying Lane with gifts in large and small packages.

The couple got off the carriage at the gate of Sheng's Mansion, and Changbai and Changfeng greeted them at the gate. Everyone exchanged greetings, hello, he, me, etc., and walked in together.

The newlyweds naturally wanted to go to the Shou'an Hall to meet the old lady first, but they didn't expect Mrs. Wang and Sheng Hong to be here. It was probably because Mrs. Wang was anxious to see Hua Lan, so she didn't wait at Wei Ruixuan.

As soon as the two met and hadn't saluted Lai's wife, Mrs. Wang, Wang Ruofu, held Hualan tightly, with snot and tears, and said that she wanted to take a good look at Hua'er, and asked if she was thinner. Not wronged.

The whole Yuan Wenshao is quite embarrassed, it's only been a few days, why is she so thin, besides, there is no grievance, isn't it, Sheng Hong still can't see it,

"Okay, okay, what's the matter, the son-in-law is still watching here, besides, the relatives are still waiting in the front hall, hurry up and let the children salute, and then go to the front hall to entertain guests!"

Mrs. Wang was also a little embarrassed when she heard the words, she quickly wiped away her tears, straightened her clothes,
"That's right, look at me, I can't help it when I see Hua'er! Quick kids, salute the old lady first!"

Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan saluted the old lady and Sheng Hong and his wife in turn. The old lady said some words of advice, and the old man Sheng Hong also said something about how happy he was to see the two of them. Mrs. Wang came, just like in the TV series. It is estimated that the classic lines will be said three times,

"Uncle, did my Hualan cause you any trouble?"

Yuan Wenshao couldn't help being amused when he heard it. He felt it was funny when he was watching TV, and seeing a real person say that now was even more fun, so he quickly replied with a nose and eyes:
"Sheng's mansion is a scholarly family, and the world is clean. Hualan is also a lady of everyone. She is of a high quality and a heart. She is generous, virtuous and virtuous. Everyone in the family likes her. My father even said that the daughter who can marry the Sheng family is ours. Blessings of the family!"

Sheng Hong is okay, he is an acting school, although he is not happy in his heart, he still has a look of relief on his face,
"Seeing that you have a family and a career, and you are in harmony, I feel much more at ease as a father!"

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed. She was worried that her daughter's life would be unsatisfactory when she got married, but now she saw that the relationship between the son-in-law and the daughter was harmonious, and the son-in-law was so powerful and had such a high opinion of her daughter, she was half relieved immediately.

Everyone exchanged greetings for a while, outside the main hall sent someone to remind them, saying that the wine and food were getting cold, Sheng Hong looked at it and said that it was almost the same, so he smiled and took everyone outside for a drink.

Since they were all close relatives today, and the new son-in-law was coming home, and there was no separate table for men and women, Yuan Wenshao followed the crowd to the front hall to have a look. It might be because the eldest and third sons of the Sheng family lived in their hometown, Youyang, and there were not many relatives. After being introduced by Hua Lan, Chang Wu, the eldest son of the Sheng family, Hua Lan’s aunt Kang Wang and his wife brought their daughter Yuner, Hua Lan’s uncle was an official in other places, only Cousin Wang returned to Beijing, no one from the third house came, remember Sheng The first and second bedrooms of the family are not very close to the third bedroom, plus the Sheng family's Molan, Rulan, Minglan, Changbai, and Changfeng.

Yuan Wenshao exchanged greetings with everyone one by one. After all, they will be relatives in the future. Even to that Aunt Kang who has a heart like a snake, he has to smile and greet him. After all, she is also Hua Lan's direct aunt and the future has not happened yet.

After exchanging greetings, everyone took their seats. Although Hua Lan hadn't been officially appointed, she was still a serious and brave lady. Although she didn't wear the official dress of the countess this time, she also wore the silk woven golden luan, phoenix and cloud pattern wide sleeves that only countesses could wear. Zhai Yi, as well as those headgear and hairstyles, this outfit is not only luxurious and prominent, but also not for the top-ranked wives.

Mrs. Wang was happy and satisfied after seeing it, Rulan and Minglan were only happy, but Aunt Kang, Yuner and Molan were just envious and jealous.

Yuan Wenshao first made a toast to the old lady, thanked her for educating Hualan, wished her a long life, and lived longer than Nanshan, etc. The old lady also happily drank some fruit wine.

He also made a toast to Sheng Hong and his wife, and thanked his father-in-law, who was enough to betroth Hualan to himself, and that Hualan was educated in a gentle manner, knowledgeable and reasonable, all thanks to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, anyway, it was just a compliment.

The corners of Mrs. Wang's mouth turned to the back of her head in joy. When had she ever heard such a compliment? After being scolded all these years, she thought to herself that this son-in-law is really good. She was even happier, extremely proud, since she was a child she was not as good as this big sister who was a direct relative in everything, but now she is worse than her sister in everything.

Sheng Hong's acting school was also a bit unstoppable, he waved his hands again and again, saying, Wen Shao, your child is also good, both of you are good children, you two children should respect and love each other, etc.

Seeing the harmony between the two families and bragging to each other, Aunt Kang was a little sour: "Hua Lan is a promising child now, and there will probably be a lot of things pointed at you in the future. Remember to think about your mother's family when you have something to do!"

Aunt Kang’s husband is weak now, and her children are not productive, but there are a lot of concubines and concubines. Killing these two is not as fast as Kang Da’s life. More than half of her dowry has been used to supplement the family, but the Kang family is still relying on it. The family is dignified, but poor in style.

Mr. Kang's complexion is a little ugly. No matter what happens inside, he still has to show some face. No one here is a fool. It is obvious that Aunt Kang wants the Hualan couple to take care of their family. His old brother-in-law, Mr. Sheng Hong, is already a little displeased. happy.

Hua Lan also understands what Aunt Kang means, but she doesn't want to talk to this aunt at all. It's fine to come to Sheng's house to have a good time, but if she is married to Yuan's house, she still wants to go to Yuan's house to have a good time, but she has no choice but to answer , had to say vaguely:
"What my aunt said is that my grandmother, my father, and my mother raised me and educated me. Needless to say, I will definitely be filial to them."

Ru Lan is straight-hearted, straight-talking, completely following Mrs. Wang's lead, and said directly: "Big sister, you didn't understand, what aunt means is that you have to be filial to her as well!"

Mo Lan was so happy that she almost danced, she liked to watch Wei Ruixuan's jokes, but she didn't show it on her face, and she still had a worried expression.

Minglan is just a little transparent now, she just lowers her head and eats the food in front of her.

This time Sheng Hong's face also turned down, this daughter really can't speak, how can she make others unable to step down in front of so many people, especially the new son-in-law, she doesn't behave like a lady at all,
"Okay, okay, hurry up and eat vegetables, eat vegetables, several dishes are specially made for you today, son-in-law, you should try it!"

The latter words were addressed to Yuan Wenshao, and he hurriedly said:

"Really, then I have to taste it!" He took a few mouthfuls of food, and then exclaimed:

"Not bad, not bad. It seems that I will come here often in the future. The dishes made by my father-in-law's family are also delicious, a hundred times better than those made by our family." He nodded while eating, and then turned to Mrs. Wang explain:
"Mother-in-law, my son-in-law will often take Hualan back to her mother's house for the autumn breeze, won't mother-in-law get bored?"

Mrs. Wang replied with a silly smile:

"No, no, I, I hope that you will come every day, because I am afraid that the in-laws will not like it!"

Everyone also cheered and laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly improved.

Hua Lan also looked at her husband affectionately, knowing that he was trying to save face for herself and did not want the family to lose face.

The old lady and Sheng Hong also looked relieved.

In the afternoon, all the relatives left, Yuan Wenshao, Sheng Hong, and Chang Bai were chatting about calligraphy, while Hua Lan and Mrs. Wang went back to Wei Ruixuan to chat about their own words.

Before dusk, Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan had to leave. Anyway, due to etiquette, they couldn't spend the dusk at their mother's house, and everyone reluctantly said goodbye for a while.
