Chapter 262 A rare family dinner
The second and third wives also arrived, followed by several concubines, and behind them a few maids and old women.
It was quite lively with such a large group of people at the door.
Yuntang stood up and bowed, and there was a round of greetings and a lively atmosphere before they sat down at another table. Yuntang signaled her second brother to send over a box of pastries.
When they learned that it was Yuntang who brought the baby back from the palace, they were all very surprised. Only because there was a noble lady of such a high status in the family could they benefit from this.
Yuntang chatted with her second and third aunts across the table for a few minutes, and then continued chatting with her sisters.
The Second Madam looked at her eldest niece who had finally returned home, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times. It was obvious that Yuntang's attention was not on their elders, and she didn't know how to start.
The sisters were chatting happily, and she didn't want to interrupt them. At this time, the third lady whispered: "Tang'er is back. There will be plenty of opportunities to talk in detail later. Let's forget about it tonight."
The Second Lady thought so too. It was rare for a family dinner to have such a lively and harmonious atmosphere. It would be a bit of a letdown if they had to talk about recent events. So she gave up the idea of talking to Yuntang.
While things were bustling here, Marquis Yong'an was not idle at all. Instead, he was very busy.
After Yuntang left the study, he went to Songhe Hall to inform Tanger that Tanger was back, and first followed his brother to Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Fearing that the old lady would vent her anger on the children, Marquis Yong'an put his eldest son in front as a shield.
However, the old lady didn't care about that. When she found out that Yuntang didn't come to pay her respects when he returned home, her face darkened instantly and she scolded unhappily, "What kind of unfilial behavior did the Taoist temple teach you?"
The sarcastic words immediately made Yong'an Marquis look extremely unhappy. Fearing that his mother would continue to talk nonsense without knowing what was going on, he directly reminded her: "This is the Taoist temple where the emperor learned martial arts since he was a child!"
It was also a warning to his old mother not to take advantage of her old age to act recklessly. If the emperor really knew about her words and deeds, the consequences would be something she could not bear.
The old lady's face froze, then she glared at her son, her lips trembling, but she didn't say anything else.
Even the old woman who never left the yard and devoted herself to worshipping Buddha had heard that the emperor was the girl's senior brother and they were from the same school.
Isn't it disrespectful to the emperor for her to criticize the Taoist temple?
Seeing that his mother had calmed down, Yong'an Hou did not continue to dwell on the matter and only said:
"Tomorrow we will be celebrating the Kitchen God, so it will be inconvenient to prepare a banquet. Tonight is a good time for the family to have a family reunion. Please invite mother to the Nuanxiang Pavilion to share the joy of family life with the children and grandchildren."
Marquis Yong'an spoke politely, but his face did not look jubilant. After all, he had just experienced his old mother's picking on him, and he was also afraid that his old mother would continue to cause trouble for Tang'er when she arrived at Nuanxiang Pavilion.
But is my old mother going to be absent from this rare family dinner?
The old lady did not refuse this time. Although she looked unhappy, she agreed to pack up and go over.
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Marquis Yong'an hesitated to speak, with a worried look in his eyes. Finally, under the old lady's impatient eyes, he took his leave.
He also has to go to Jinhuatang.
Princess Kangning's relationship with him was strained, and she had been really ill recently. She had caught a cold and asked the imperial physician to see her, but she wasn't getting better despite taking medicine every day.
But when my daughter comes home and has a family dinner, I have to notify her. Whether she is willing to go or not is another matter.
When Princess Kangning learned about this, she sneered and said sarcastically, "I heard that she was given the title of Princess Protector of the Nation, which is a higher title than mine! What a good life!"
"You asked me to go over there so that I could kneel down and pay respect to her, the eldest princess! You are just waiting to see me make a fool of myself, right? You think I am not embarrassed enough, right?"
"She will be in the mansion from now on. Do you want me to go and pay my respects to her every day? She doesn't even see me as her mother. Now that she has a title, she will be very happy in the future!"
After Princess Kangning finished her sarcastic remarks, she coughed several times, and her face turned red from coughing. She asked someone to quickly feed her a sip of hot ginseng tea, and then she stroked her chest to calm down.
Seeing that she was so sick but still could say so many sarcastic and harsh words, Marquis Yong'an didn't even want to quarrel this time.
"Well, you should take a good rest." After saying this, Marquis Yong'an turned around and strode away.
Seeing him leave so resolutely, Princess Kangning's eyes turned red with anger. She was extremely unwilling to give in, and gave her last order...
At Nuanxiang Pavilion, Marquis Yong'an met his old mother who was coming in a warm sedan chair on the road. His second and third brothers were there to accompany and talk to the old mother.
The anger that Marquis Yong'an had felt after eating at Jinhua Hall seemed to have subsided a little, at least his old mother still came.
The second and third brothers must have also gone to Songhetang, as they were afraid that their old mother would not come to the family dinner and that something would be missing at home. With their laughter and consolation, their old mother's mood improved a lot.
The three brothers accompanied their old mother to Nuanxiang Pavilion, and saw the people who had arrived earlier chatting and laughing, making it very lively.
Marquis Yong'an thought of his other daughter who was still under house arrest, and sent someone to notify her in advance.
He looked outside and saw a thin and lonely figure walking towards him from the path with a maid. His heart softened and he couldn't help but sigh.
There weren't so many things in the past. The wife was virtuous, the son was filial, and the daughter was well-behaved. Unexpectedly, the matter of the real and fake daughter came out, and when the biological daughter came back, the virtuous wife and daughter showed their bad faces.
He no longer had any hope for Princess Kangning. He just had to wait it out like this, as he couldn't really do anything to her.
After all, Xue'er is a child raised in the mansion. If she was not well behaved in the past, it was because her parents did not teach her well. He will discipline her more in the future and find a suitable marriage for her.
I heard that he has been copying the "Tao Te Ching" honestly recently and has not made any trouble. He has been practicing piano music or reading and writing most of his time.
If they could realize their own shortcomings and make changes to make up for them, even if the sisters were at odds and lost the good marriage opportunity with the Duke Pingguo's Mansion, they could still be saved in the future.
Marquis Yong'an stood on the porch and watched the child walking slowly towards him, sighing in his heart. He was already thinking about what kind of marriage he could arrange for Jiang Yingxue.
Want to enter the Eastern Palace? Tang Er told him not to daydream, and he had never thought about such a thing.
Even when Jiang Yingxue was still the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, he had never dreamed of such a thing. Instead, her marriage to the Duke of Pingguo's Mansion was arranged for her since she was young.
Now that so many things have happened, there will be even less chance of having unrealistic thoughts.
"Xue'er greets father." Jiang Yingxue walked closer, lowered her eyes, and bowed obediently to Marquis Yong'an.
"Go in." Marquis Yong'an's tone softened a little.
Jiang Yingxue bowed again before walking into Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Since the family dinner last month, Yuntang left and the family has never gathered together like this again. Today, because Yuntang came back, the whole family got together again.
After getting the news, Jiang Yingxue was so jealous that she tore the Taoist scripture she had not yet finished copying into pieces.
