1966 The Gu family’s tradition
Gu Xin attributed this to the fact that it was the second day of the new year and she was going to see her elder sister and older sister. Hence, she was in a good mood and did not think too much about it.
The Gu family had just finished their breakfast when the gatekeeper came to report that the eldest young lady, eldest young master, second young master, and second young master had returned with their entire family.
Grandma Gu’s mouth twitched. Only the daughter of the Gu family would bring her entire family back to her maternal family.
In the past, when they were at the village at the crossroads, third brother had also brought his mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law back to his maternal home.
It couldn’t be helped. This was a tradition of the Gu family.
Old general Peng was there, so Grandpa Gu went out to welcome him.
They had just received the two families and had not even exchanged a few words when the gatekeeper came to report that the Kang King’s Royal Highness, the princess Consort, and the Crown Prince had arrived.
Fine, he was waiting for this family of four in the courtyard again.
When Majesty Kang and the others arrived, the group returned to the main hall. As soon as they sat down, the gatekeeper came to report that old master Huo had arrived with his family.
Old master Huo was already over sixty years old. Grandpa Gu had been taught by old master Huo before he was sick and was transferred out of the palace. So, Grandpa Gu went out with his son to welcome him.
It just so happened that third aunt Gu’s family was right behind the Huo family.
This time, third aunt didn’t bring her mother-in-law, uncle, and sister-in-law with her. It was just the family of five.
Zhang Shi looked around and saw that with the addition of the Huo family, she would have to ask the kitchen to prepare an extra table of food for lunch.
She was now in charge of the back of the Gu family’s house, and she was the one who made all the decisions. Moreover, grandma Gu was very willing to let her make the decisions.
Zhang Shi’s mind was still relatively flexible. She felt that since the Huo family had come, it was impossible for Imperial grandmother, the Emperor, and the Empress not to come. So, she asked the kitchen to prepare at least two more tables in case of emergency.
When Zhang Shi came out of the kitchen and saw the Pengze brothers, Xue Qianyu, and Cheng huaijin, she immediately thought of Lu Zheng. After returning to the capital, she had heard a lot of gossip and knew about Lu Zheng’s relationship with his family. Thinking that this guy might be coming, she went to ask Gu Xin.
Gu Xin laughed,”aunt, sister Xue is going back to her parents” house today!” Grandma Xiao and Grandpa Zhou also said that they were going, so brother Yuan Yuan wouldn’t be coming at noon. However, first aunt could ask the kitchen to include them in the dinner. They’ll definitely be here tonight!”
“Alright, I understand!” Zhang Shi nodded.
At this moment, Lu Xue, Chen Yujiang, and their son, as well as grandma Xiao and Grandpa Zhou, had arrived at the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion.
The gatekeeper greeted them warmly. Now that the servants of the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion could understand the situation, they were very polite to Grandpa Zhou and grandma Xiao, and even more so to Lu Xue’s family of three.
Today, only the first branch of the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion was present. The second branch had followed Qin Shi back to her Maiden Home early in the morning. Qin Shi’s Maiden Home was in tai Zhou and they had to walk for a day, so they had to stay there for two days. It was always like this. The third Lu family’s third master also brought his two children to the Yue family.
In the past, the first branch would also go to the Lin family on this day, but now the Lin family no longer existed.
