Huimen, also known as Guining, refers to the first time a woman returns to her natal family to visit relatives after she gets married, usually on the third day after marriage, which is the last step of the wedding.

Returning to the door has two meanings. First, the bride thanks her natal family for her kindness in nurturing her, and it also shows the husband's family respect for the woman; second, it also means that the woman's family accepts the new son-in-law.

The car of Prince Qi's Mansion stopped slowly outside the gate of Su Mansion, and all the elders and family members of Su Mansion came out to greet him.

Xiao Jie got out of the carriage first, then turned around and supported Su Yao's hand to get out of the carriage. Mrs. Shen saw this little detail, and couldn't help feeling relieved in her heart. She secretly felt that such a good son-in-law, who the hell is everywhere Rumors spread about him.

Seeing that her parents and grandparents came out to greet her in person, Su Yao hurriedly pulled Xiao Jie's clothes, and they both bowed and saluted together: "Daughter Su Yao returns home with her son-in-law, to grandfather, grandmother, father, mother and Greetings, elders."

Xiao Jie also parroted his tongue: "Xiao Jie, my son-in-law, returns home to greet grandfather, grandmother, father, mother and all the elders."

Su Hong stroked his beard and accepted the big gift from the two of them calmly. In his opinion, even if Xiao Jie was a nobleman, he was just his own grandson-in-law. As an elder, he couldn't bear his big gift.

His son Su Jing didn't dare to trust him, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao Jie, and couldn't stop saying: "Please hurry up, we are all a family, so don't be so polite."

Su Hong couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, this son...

Mrs. Shen also stepped forward to help Su Yao up. Seeing that her daughter looked good, she thought that their married life was quite harmonious, and she was secretly happy for her daughter.

The family members of the Su Mansion surrounded Xiao Jie and Su Yao and entered the Su Mansion directly. As for the return gift brought by Xiao Jie, the housekeeper of the Su Mansion would naturally receive it, but the housekeeper couldn't help but look at the dozen or so carriages full of boxes behind him. His Royal Highness King Qi is really a rich man, and he sighed with emotion what kind of life the young lady should spend the rest of her life after marrying.

The door-returning banquet hadn't started for a while, Old Madam Bai and Mrs. Shen took Su Yao to the inner courtyard to talk, while Su Hong brought Xiao Jie into his study. Su Jing wanted to follow in, but Su Hong ruthlessly After glaring at him, he directly closed the study door, and told the servant at the door not to allow anyone to approach the study.

Su Hong looked at Xiao Jie with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It is obvious that the third prince Xiao Huang is his favorite grandson-in-law, but God's will tricks people, but his granddaughter ended up marrying the seventh prince Xiao Jie.

Although he has only met Xiao Huang a few times, he has a good impression of him, he always feels that this person has a lot of things in his chest, and he is definitely not something in the pool.

In contrast, Xiao Jie has a bad reputation. Although Su Hong has never dealt with him before, he has always heard that Xiao Jie has always been extravagant, lustful and domineering. Be your own son-in-law.

More importantly, Xiao Jie is still the grandson of the Prime Minister Wang Chong. Su Hong, as the leader of the Qingliu, has always been displeased with Wang Chong's party unity and dissent, but he never thought that because of Xiao Jie, he, Su Hong, would have a close relationship with Wang Chong one day. .

"Your Highness, since you call this old man grandfather, then this old man will act on his old age, so I'll just say something straight."

Xiao Jie bowed slightly: "Grandpa please show me."

Xiao Jie's low profile increased Su Hong's favorability towards him a lot, and he was also surprised that this King Qi seemed so humble and polite, but he didn't know why he had such a bad reputation outside.

But Xiao Jie was secretly laughing in his heart, I call you grandfather, you call me Your Highness, we have different opinions.

"I heard from people in the palace that it was His Highness who requested the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet so that the Empress Dowager issued a decree to marry Her Highness and Yao'er. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Su Hong stared into Xiao Jie's eyes and asked calmly.

Xiao Jie nodded: "Indeed."

Su Hong frowned: "As far as I know, Your Highness has never met Yao'er, how did you think of marrying Yao'er."

Xiao Jie smiled and said: "A fair lady, a gentleman is so good. In fact, I once met Yao'er at the Luoyang Lantern Festival. I was shocked. At that time, I swore that I would not marry Yaoer."

Su Hong nodded secretly, this makes sense, the Su family's family style is very strict, and the female family members are not allowed to leave the house at will on weekdays, but the annual lantern festival is an exception. I think Xiao Jie fell in love with his granddaughter at that time of.

This also made Su Hong somewhat relieved. What he was most worried about was that Xiao Jie's marriage to Su Yao was because of his grandfather's status as the leader of the Qingliu, and in order to gain more support for entering the East Palace. He didn't want his granddaughter Became a victim of a political marriage.

"Your Highness, although you are married to Yao'er and you are the son-in-law of my Su family, there are some things we need to say first." Su Hong still decided to put the ugly words first.

"Recently, some disciples have been asking the old man whether His Highness marrying the old man's granddaughter means that the Su family will support His Highness to enter the East Palace, but the old man directly denies it."

"Yao'er is Yao'er, and the Su family is the Su family. Although His Royal Highness has become the grandson-in-law of the old man, the old man has always distinguished between public and private, and will never abandon the public for personal reasons. The reason why our Qingliu is Qingliu is because we don't want to get involved in party disputes." We are our own faction, and we don't want to get involved in the battle for the prince's succession, I hope His Highness can understand this."

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, nodded and said: "The reason why I married Yao'er was because of my love for Yao'er. It has absolutely nothing to do with party struggles or the matter of winning the heir apparent. Grandpa, please rest assured."

Xiao Jie would still say something about a beautiful scene, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

In the original book, after Xiao Huang married Su Yao, Su Hong also said the same to Xiao Huang, but later on, it didn't matter. In the end, Su Hong mobilized his disciples to fully support Xiao Huang's entry into the East Palace.

I married Su Yao and became Su Hong's grandson-in-law, so it will affect Su Hong more or less, and then affect the attitude of the whole Qingliu. In many things, the officials belonging to Qingliu will naturally favor themselves intentionally or unintentionally. Qingliu will more or less be branded as supporting King Qi.

Xiao Jie's attitude made Su Hong feel a little more fond of this grandson-in-law, and the regret in his heart faded a little.

Maybe the third prince really has nothing to do with his granddaughter, but it's a pity that he only has a direct granddaughter like Yao'er, so he can only miss the good grandson-in-law of the third prince.

Su Hong carefully took down an ink painting from the wall, slowly rolled it up and put it away, and then handed it to Xiao Jie: "This is the "Jiangshan Sheji Tu" by Wei Zhang, a famous scholar in the former dynasty. Your Highness, I hope that regardless of whether or not His Highness enters into the Eastern Palace, everything will be prioritized by the country."

No matter how expensive a famous painting is to Xiao Jie in this life, it is just a more expensive decoration, but to Su Hong, it is already one of the few gifts in the mansion that can be given. Xiao Jie understands this It was Su Hong who had already recognized himself as the grandson-in-law in his heart, so he was willing to give him his most beloved painting as a gift.

Xiao Jie was slightly moved in his heart, and declined in his mouth: "Since it is the most cherished thing of grandfather, how dare I take away his love, grandfather should keep it."

"You spent a lot of money on the betrothal gift a few days ago and today's return ceremony. If you don't accept this painting, I will feel uneasy." Su Hong insisted on putting the painting in Xiao Jie's hands, "No matter how precious the painting is , is also a dead thing, Yao'er is the granddaughter whom I love the most, I have nothing else to ask for, I just hope that you two can respect each other as guests in the future and grow old together."

Having said all this, Xiao Jie had no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient, took the painting with both hands, and thanked Su Hong again and again.

Xiao Jie's courteous and courteous attitude aroused another wave of Su Hong's favor, and he felt that this younger brother may not be inferior to that elder brother.

At this time, a servant knocked on the door outside the study to tell them that the homecoming banquet had begun, and Su Hong and Xiao Jie came out of the study one after the other.

Seeing that Su Hong's complexion improved a lot, Su Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that his father seemed not very satisfied with Qi Wang, the grandson-in-law. It's not good for my own son to be implicated together.

Su Yao saw the painting in Xiao Jie's arms at a glance, and immediately recognized from the scroll that it was his grandfather's most precious painting "Jiangshan Sheji Tu". My husband deserves to be happier.

A door-to-door banquet ended in a family happy atmosphere.
