Three days after returning home, although Yuan Wulang is not there, the etiquette of returning to Ning must be done thoroughly.

  The old lady wanted to show the importance of the Yuan family to Cui Jiu, so she planned to send Cui Rong back home in person, but Du and Qiao both repeatedly advised against it.

  She is a noble lady of the first rank, sealed by imperial decree, and has been a close friend of Empress Dowager Mo for many years. Even the Emperor addresses her as "Aunt". Among the aristocratic ladies in the capital, apart from the imperial family's golden branches and jade leaves, she is the oldest and most respected.

  If she were to personally escort Fifth Granny back to the Anning Manor, although it would be a matter of face and honor, the reception arrangements on the part of the Anning Manor would have to be rearranged. Not to mention how the aunts and sisters-in-law from Fifth Granny's maternal family would feel, the sentiments of the several madams in the manor would also need to be taken into consideration.

  When Er Nai Nai and Er Ye got married, it was during a time of turmoil caused by the Tujue people.

  At that time, the emperor thought that Tuyuhun was a small country and could not withstand a single blow. It did not have the courage to provoke our powerful dynasty, but as a military family, the Yuan family's sensitivity to war was far beyond that of ordinary people. The general believed that there would be a battle with Tuyuhun soon, so he did not relax his training of the Yuan family army for a moment.

  On the second day after their wedding, Erniang served tea and it became a ritual. Then they went to the West Mountain drill ground for military training.

  It was also bad luck that the horse had caught a chill the night before, and when practicing mounted combat with his colleagues, the sorrel horse suddenly trembled in its legs, throwing Yuan Erlang off its back and injuring his leg bone.

  Because he hit the mountain rocks when landing, the soldier's blade also stabbed in unfortunately, so Yuan Erlang's leg injury was quite serious that time. After the military doctor fixed and bandaged it, he instructed not to move for half a month, otherwise the bone would not heal well and would have a great impact on future battles.

  At that time, the Liang family lived in the suburbs of Shengjing City. It was said to be a suburb, but it was almost at the border with Pingzhou.

  Because of the long distance, Er Nai nai felt sorry for her husband, so when San Chao returned home on the third day, she didn't want Er Ye to go with him.

  The old lady was moved at that time and sent Wu Ye, who was still a young man with a shaggy head, to escort the second lady back to Ning.

  There was also Fourth Granny, who had married over from a faraway place, so there wasn't any three-day return visit to speak of. It wasn't until the second year after their marriage that Fourth Master accompanied her on a trip back to Longzhong.

  "Old Lady likes Fifth Granny and wants to give her enough face, this intention we all understand. But if it's too much fuss, Fourth Granny may not be happy in her heart, but she wouldn't stoop to doing something about it, Second Granny is a person who can't hold back."

  Her tone became softer, "Aren't you causing trouble for Grandma Wu?"

  The old lady thought for a moment and had no choice but to give up.

  She still ordered Du Mama, "Although it's like this, the Yuan family can't let Xiao Wu's wife go back by herself. Go and invite Eldest Madam, and ask if Master has time to have Master and his wife accompany Xiao Wu to Anning Bo Fu for a visit."

  Although the great aunt is a county lord's daughter, as an elder sister-in-law accompanying them, to the people of Anningbofu, she is a junior. This shows that the Yuan family attaches great importance and satisfaction to Xiaowu, but it is not too much, and it is also suitable.

  The old lady came over and said, "Madam says that since Master is busy, the couple will accompany Fifth Granny back to her hometown."

  When Old Lady sent Xiao Ling to invite him, Cui Ying was still on a date with Zhou Gong.

  The benefits of living in Taianyuan, she can now fully appreciate.

  First of all, the food was exquisite and delicious, which is a given. The old lady heard that she loved good food, so she happily instructed the top chefs in the small kitchen to show off their skills for Wu Nainai.

  Her rule is four dishes and one soup per meal, with two more for the old lady. In line with the principle of not wasting, the old lady reduced two dishes, now eight dishes and two soups per meal, so far there has never been a repeat.

  Secondly, since she was always in one place every day, the old lady exempted her from morning and evening visits. Especially since she always looked like she hadn't slept enough, the old lady pitied her and didn't let anyone wake her up early. For example, yesterday, she slept until noon before waking up naturally.

  Cui Rong rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked Mugun, "What did Grandmother call me for?"

  Muyan knew the temperament of his own young lady too well, and he knew that she must have not taken the matter of returning to Ning's house to heart, so he couldn't help but sigh and say, "Miss, have you forgotten? Today is the third day after the wedding, you still need to go back to Anning Bo's mansion for a visit."

  She was attending to Cui Ying getting up while saying, "The master and the young miss have already made preparations. If you don't hurry up, it would be impolite."

  Chui Rong also wanted to ask, why did Yuan Wulang have to return home for a visit even if he wasn't there?

  Mugunghua quickly helped her pick out a festive outfit, washed her face in no time, combed her hair and applied powder.

  This action was done in one breath, like a flowing cloud and water, really it was the result of many years of practice by Mu Ge. When she was at An Ning Bo Fu's residence, the young lady of the house would also often do this in a daze, and with more experience, she became more skilled.

  Chui Ling stood in front of the bronze mirror, adjusting her posture for a few moments, then turned around and pinched Mu Jin's small face, saying with great satisfaction, "If you ask me what the most delightful thing is about being at Anning Bo's residence, it would be having you and Jie Geng."

  She smiled as brightly as a blooming flower, "Jie Er is loyal and true of heart, you know me best."

  There is a maid who can think of everything in her heart and is diligent and handy, so she can continue to be lazy with peace of mind.

  Mugwort had long been accustomed to it and glanced at the young lady, saying, "Miss, if you don't go to the main hall, the old lady and the princess will be waiting anxiously."

  As soon as Cui Ling thought of these two leaders, she immediately straightened her expression and hurriedly rushed to Lao Taijun.

  In the main hall of the Tai'an Temple, not only was Princess Yining present, but also three elder sisters-in-law, namely Liang Shi, Lian Shi and Su Shi, all sat properly in the hall.

  Cui Ling asked about their well-being one by one, then stood to the side and said with great embarrassment, "Sun's daughter-in-law is lazy and greedy, making Grandmother and sisters laugh."

  Yining Jun Zhu smiled and said, "It's still early, Anning Bo Fu is not far away, no need to rush."

  She stood up and bowed to the old lady, "Grandmother, the second son is waiting at the gate, and the daughter-in-law has taken the fifth brother and sister out."

  The old lady looked at Zhang's wife and saw that she was indeed much closer to Xiao Wu's wife, so she was delighted and hurriedly waved her hand at them, "Go."

  Just now, the lady of Yining County took out the gift list that was to be taken to the mansion of Anning Bo and showed it to her. The handwriting was generous and didn't say much, but it could be seen that the gifts were carefully thought out.

  Yining County Master then took Cui Ying, who was still a bit dazed, out of the house. As they were about to leave, she didn't forget to instruct the servant beside her to bring some pastries, "My fifth brother and sister have just woken up, their stomachs must be empty, let them eat on the carriage later."

  Cui Ling was so moved that she followed the young lady to the second gate, bid farewell to Yuan Dalang, and got into the carriage with her head down.

  Inside the red lacquer lunchbox were rose pastries and pagoda tree flower cakes, which could fill one's stomach without leaving any strange aftertaste.

  She was nervous and a bit uneasy, looking at Princess Yining with some embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, did I really eat it?"

  The princess couldn't help but laugh, "You really eat it, I give it to you, is it for you to look at?"

  She is called elder sister-in-law, but in fact they are more than ten years apart in age.

  The woman in front of her who was eating happily also looked a bit like Yue'er, so the Princess of Yining always felt as if she was looking at her own child.

  She couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy, and her tone softened. "Did you ever read books when you were at home? What do you like to do in your free time? Come on, it's boring on the road, let's chat with Big Sister."

  If it were in the past, Cui Ying would have definitely talked her way out of this situation.

  But after experiencing the old lady's delicious food for a few days, she began to re-examine her situation and positioning in the Yuan family.

  After some thought, a smile spread across her face as she savored the delicious pastries and gently picked out a few things to say about her life at her natal home.

  It seemed like no more than a moment had passed when the carriage suddenly came to a stop, and outside, Yuan Da Lang's thick, gentle voice rang out, "Madam, Fifth Brother and Sister, we have arrived at An Ning Bo Fu."
