The third day after the big wedding is Guining. On this day, folk newlyweds have to prepare gifts and bring the bride to the home of their father-in-law and mother-in-law. "The Book of Songs·Zhou Nan·Ge Tan" has a saying: If you are harmed, you will return to your parents.However, in the past three days, Shang Zihan and Guan Qingyao lived in the Shangyang Palace and had frequent contact with the royal family. Once Gui Ning mentioned it, he would naturally be forgotten.

This day, after inviting An to dinner, Shang Zihan and Guan Qingyao will go out of the palace and go back to the residence to live their own lives.

Although Guan Qingyao is a son of heaven, it is only natural for her to live in her husband's house after she gets married.

It's just that Zeguo's etiquette and laws are still in the Tang Dynasty, and the princess's marriage is also built according to the palace rules, and the princess's mansion is adjacent to her husband's house.

Consort Shang Zihan and Princess Jinyang Guan Qingyao left the palace by Yingtianmen and went straight to the princess mansion.

After Shang Zihan and the Princess Mansion showed up, they took Guan Qingyao to the Shang Mansion.

But Guan Qingyao entered the Shangfu for the first time this time, so she walked right in.However, the main gates of the two mansions face the same street, and it used to take a few moments.At this time, Shang Zihan and Guan Qingyao were in the same carriage, and because the carriage was spacious, the maid was also serving beside him.

Compared with Guan Qingyao, Shang Zihan was alone, and seemed a little more lonely.

The maid was pinching Guan Qingyao's shoulders, so it was natural for her not to speak up about the master's affairs.

The inside of the carriage where no one spoke was even more desolate.

"The princess son-in-law has arrived at the mansion." When the carriage stopped, the driver shouted into the carriage.

Shang Zihan got out of the carriage one step faster than Guan Qingyao, then stretched out his hand and opened the curtains and said, "Princess, we are here."

"Thank you, consort."

At the same time, there were already several Xiao Si standing at the entrance of the business mansion, and Fu Bo, Ye Ling and others were waiting for a long time. "I have seen you, Your Highness Princess."

Most of the people in the Shang mansion were from Zeguo, and a small number of them were either spies or secret guards who were ordered to protect Shang Zihan.Although the etiquette is good, it would not be so good if someone picked on the bone at that time.After thinking about it in his heart, Shang Zihan planned to ring the bell for Guan Qingyao, so as not to make any noise at that time. "The servants and servants in the mansion are no better than the eunuchs in the palace. If there is any impoliteness, I hope the princess will forgive me."

"My son-in-law is joking. Although I am from the royal family, I also know that there are a lot of rules in a rich family like the Shang family. I don't think there will be any rudeness. Why do you need to forgive me?"

"What the princess said is very true, it's Zihan who is worrying too much."

The conversation at the entrance of the business mansion naturally made Steward Fu and the others hear it clearly, especially the servants at the gate of the mansion were touched. My son has a gentle temperament, and he is not a master who beats and scolds his servants at will.Now it seems that the same is true of Princess Jinyang, they are really lucky, and it is also a blessing to be able to follow such a master.

"I don't have much to worry about what the son-in-law said, but I have married into a merchant, so she is a merchant's wife."

Shang Zihan lost his mind for a moment, did Guan Qingyao say that she was a merchant's wife?

Steward Fu led the way, and Guan Qingyao entered the mansion earlier than Shang Zihan who was in a daze.

Ye Yu also saw that his young master was distracted, and seeing Guan Qingyao entered the mansion, he hurried up to wake Shang Zihan up.

"My lord, the princesses are all in."

"...Well, let's go."

Guan Qingyao went back to the Princess Mansion before entering the Shang Mansion. All the servants in the Shang Mansion knew about it. Even if the rules were broken, they didn't dare to say too much. They are just small characters, and they can do what they have to do, and they shouldn't listen to it. Say it so that they can't hear it.

The Princess Mansion was built to the east of the Shang Mansion, and was rebuilt from several mansions.The gate of the Princess' Mansion and the gate of the Shang's Mansion are on the same street, so you don't need to pass through the Shang's Mansion when you go out. This uninformed person passed by and said that there are new mansions here.

After Guan Qingyao returned to the mansion, the two retainers in the princess mansion began to report today's affairs in the mansion one by one.

"Your Majesty, the objects given by His Majesty and the gifts from the princes, relatives, civil and military officials, the ministers have already drawn up the list, and the servants and servants in the mansion are all..." Li Guangyi, the Prime Minister of the family, was imprisoned as soon as he started. Qing Yao was interrupted.

"The gift list and the title deed are handed over to Chenzhu, and I will take a look at it later."

"Wei Chen understands."

"Master Li arrived at the Princess Mansion earlier than this Palace, and people from the Shang Mansion must have gotten in touch with it."

"Yes, Your Highness, since the day when the Princess Mansion was rebuilt, I have been here and have had a lot of contact with people from the business."

"How is the character of the servants of the Shangfu?"

"The son-in-law is gentle, courteous, and considerate of his servants. As for the servants of the mansion, they are basically helpful and hospitable people." Li Guangyi recalled those few days when he was rushing to work under the sun, and Shang Zihan brought people over to say that it was preparation I gave them mung bean paste and tea to cool down the heat, and some delicious snacks for them to eat. Although these things are ordinary, the intention is very good.

Li Guangyi was not the only one who praised Shang Zihan in this way, Guan Qingyao had heard it several times before the wedding.

At that time, Nanny Peng was ordered to go out to the palace to teach Shang Zihan etiquette, but after half a day, she went back to the palace to contemplate behind closed doors, and after asking for a long time, she realized that the son-in-law's tutor taught etiquette very well, and she didn't find any mistakes.

"Chenzhu, there is a banquet in the mansion today, you go and invite the son-in-law over."

"It's Your Highness."

It was windy after nightfall.

Ye Yu was worried that Shang Zihan would catch the cold, so she specially prepared a cloak for her.

Although the Shang Mansion is adjacent to the Princess Mansion, Shang Zihan's daily life has been moved to the West Courtyard. It takes several minutes to walk from the West Courtyard, and the garden is also passed through. The openness and wind are probably stronger than other places. Bigger.

Ye Yu is also "Young Master, Ye Yu doesn't know if there is a question that should be asked or not."

"It's okay, Guan Qingyao is just curious about me now. As long as this feeling passes, it will be fine."

"But son, she is also the princess of a country after all, if she knows that the person she is marrying is a woman..."

"If you want to blame, blame Guan Zanglong. If it wasn't for his idea, my brother would not have died, and his daughter would not have married me." Shang Zihan remembered Guan Zanglong when he went to the imperial study with Chen Li that day. Looking at his eyes, as long as he did something wrong, Guan Zanglong could still save some face for Guan Qingyao's sake, but if he did something wrong for Guan Qingyao, that man would definitely not Will let myself go.

That being the case, why should she make herself unhappy.

"Ye Yu will have to work harder during this time, cheer up and don't let it go."

"Ye Yu understands, please rest assured, Young Master."

"As long as you know."

"But son, I'm still curious, how did you calm down that Guan Qingyao?"

"The princesses of all dynasties are nothing more than tools for political blind dates, and she, Guan Qingyao, knows this very well. Rather than marrying a man who she doesn't like and loves herself, it is better to marry a son-in-law who will not embarrass herself. Besides marrying If you give it to me, she won't need to be a tool for political engagement, so why not do it?" Shang Zihan said this very lightly, as if he was speaking to Ye Yu and to himself. "It's the princess's first banquet, so it's better not to keep her waiting."

The words have come to this point, it is useless to say more.

The Princess Mansion and the Shang Mansion are only separated by a wall, and you can enter the Princess Mansion directly after passing the east gate.When Shang Zihan passed the east gate, after the guards who had been guarding the east gate for a long time saluted, someone led Shang Zihan inside.

The place where Guan Qingyao held the banquet this time is above a stream, which comes from Luoshui, and it must be carefully calculated that it has some relationship with Guan Qingyao.

"Your Highness, the consort is here."

"Sir, please sit down."

"Princess please."

After the two of them were seated, Guan Qingyao dismissed all the people who served her, and Ye Yu was also dismissed by Shang Zihan at this time.

"My palace ordered people to specially prepare dishes that the son-in-law likes, so the son-in-law should eat more."

"Let the princess worry."

After the first two sentences of the meal, the two did not communicate much.

After the meal, they also sat around for a little while, but they still felt that their stomachs were a little full, so they simply walked and chatted in the courtyard together. The chat was so speculative that they even forgot the time. If it wasn't for Nanny Peng If they came out to look for them, they might have to go back later at night.
