Chapter 59 Butler Quan
Two days later, the Gong family’s servants hurried back to announce the good news.
The Gong family has sent people to keep an eye on the outside of the Criminal Department these days, and will report back as soon as there is any news.
"Old madam, the eldest master, the people from the Ministry of Punishment have said that they will pick up the second master before noon today!" The servant who reported the news was full of joy and panting.
Mrs. Gong was drinking tea. When she heard this, she almost spilled it. The maid beside her hurriedly took the tea cup.
"The second child is really coming back? Is it true?" Mrs. Gong asked urgently.
"Don't worry, old lady. This is what Mr. Cui, the official of the Ministry of Punishments, told me personally. It's definitely not wrong." The servant assured, "He also said that our second master has nothing wrong at all. But the things inside are too detailed and complicated, and they have to be sorted out before they can be released."
"Mother can rest assured this time," Gong Rang also dropped a stone, "I will ask the housekeeper to hurry up. Preparing for the reception banquet, my second brother must have been exhausted mentally and physically these days, so it’s time to calm down."
At this time, Wei Shi also came in from outside, with a smile on his face: "I have heard about it, and asked them to prepare! "
Gong Rang said again: "Hurry and prepare the carriage, I will pick him up personally!"
"Okay, you are the eldest brother, he has been closest to you since childhood." Mrs. Gong's eyes were wet, "I can finally sleep peacefully this time."
"Thanks to Ming Qian, Webster said, "She must not know yet! I'll tell her to go."
"Well, go and tell her to come back here and have a family reunion dinner." , It can be regarded as a way to catch up with her and Chang'an!" Mrs. Gong said, "After all, it hasn't stopped since we came back. The second brother is not at home, and everyone is not in the mood."
"It's the old man after all. Madam, you are very considerate," Webster flattered with a smile, "How about this, I will send someone to invite my younger siblings over, and we ladies can have a good talk."
So I sent a mother-in-law. Please Wen Mingqian.
"Girl, I think the second palace has been released." Zhang Ma came in and said, "The old lady in the old lady's room just now came over with a smile and said that the old lady asked you to come over and talk!"
"That's right. "Wen Mingqian stood up, "I originally told Zhu Hui that he would be released today at the latest."
"Then let's go over wearing some festive clothes!" Zhang Ma opened the suitcase and looked for clothes. "Always take care of the face of the Gong family."
"Of course," Wen Mingqian laughed at himself, "Now that I am no longer a sinner of the Gong family, I should also spend some of my mistress's money."
"That's right, let's stab those bitches in the eyes!" Zhang Ma snorted, "From now on, her surname Song will not belong to the world in this courtyard!"
Wen Mingqian finished changing his clothes and took Gong Changan to the east courtyard.
At this time, the palace courtyard changed from the dullness of the past, and everyone was smiling.
Wen Mingqian and his son came from outside the old lady's door. Someone had already opened the curtain: "The second madam is here, please come in quickly. The old lady and the eldest lady are waiting for you!"
" Sister, please sit down quickly. I'm talking to you." Wei Shi took Wen Mingqian's hand and sat down. "You should be relieved that the second master is back. I saw that you dressed up specially today. You are really good-looking. It's just right. How old is she?”
Mrs. Gong is also very satisfied with Wen Mingqian’s outfit today. After all, her daughter-in-law looks decent and it also gives the palace family face. Wen Mingqian lowered his head slightly, showing a bit of shyness: "I was a little uncomfortable wearing brightly colored clothes at first! But I think it should be more festive when the master comes back today."
"Brother and sister, you are now a great hero." Webster was very happy for her, "I still have to say that you are really capable! Thanks to you for coming up with that idea, otherwise we all would be helpless. !”
“Sister-in-law, please stop praising me, this is what I should do. Besides, the success of things depends on the blessings of the ancestors and the merits accumulated by the old lady for so many years. Otherwise, how could we successfully find that thing? "
Wen Mingqian did not take credit, which satisfied Mrs. Gong even more.
She held Gong Changan in her arms and said: "Second daughter-in-law, you have suffered for so many years. It is difficult for you to raise your children so well and cultivate your own character.
I just discussed it with your sister-in-law! Now that Aunt Song is pregnant and the fetus is unstable, and you are back too, I’ll leave the matter of the housekeeper of the West Court to you! "
"This...isn't this good? "Wen Mingqian said gratefully and hesitantly, "After all, I have just come back, not to mention the master..."
"You are the mistress of the house, how can you not care about the house? " Mrs. Gong said, "I'll be the one to tell the second child. How can he not listen to me? "
"Brothers and sisters, don't hesitate, this is the old lady's kindness," Webster said with a smile, "Why don't you thank the old lady. "
"Thank you, old lady, I will do my best. If there is any problem, please give me some advice from you and my sister-in-law. "Wen Mingqian followed the trend and did not refuse.
"From now on, you sisters-in-law will be harmonious and have discussions with your husband, so I can rest assured." Mrs. Gong said with a smile, "I only want little Chang'an to accompany me, that's all. That's enough."
"Don't worry, grandma, my grandson will always be by your side." Gong Chang'an hugged Mrs. Gong's thigh like a little pug, "As long as you support me, I can act like a tiger. "
"Oh, you little monkey!" Mrs. Gong couldn't help but laugh, "I'm looking at you now, and your father and mother won't be able to control you anymore. .”
“If you don’t look at the face of a monk or the face of a Buddha, how can a living Bodhisattva like you look down on me, a little doorman?” Gong Changan said with a smile, “I am dependent on my grandmother. I can’t drive you away!”
“You little monkey!” Gong Yu’an strode in from outside, “Why don’t you show your true colors when you see Monkey King?”

Wei Shi scolded: "It's outrageous. The old lady and your aunt are still sitting here. Why don't you salute and say hello quickly."
Gong Yu'an immediately straightened his expression and saluted several elders.
Gong Jing'an then walked in calmly, saying hello first before speaking: "My second brother is always so impatient. I heard that brother Chang'an was here, so he pulled me out of the study."
"Okay, okay, it is best for brothers to be harmonious and affectionate. Have you two heard that your second uncle is coming back?" Mrs. Gong looked at her three grandchildren, feeling happy from the bottom of her heart.
“I know, originally we were going to pick up our second uncle with our father.” Gong Jingan said, “but my father said he was afraid that the car would be too crowded and asked us to stay at home to help our mother take care of things. .”
Wen Mingqian knew that Gong Rang did not allow his two sons to go together, not because he was afraid that the car would be too crowded. After all, the Gong family had more than one carriage, not to mention that the two brothers could ride horses.
I just thought that after all Gong Xu had been in prison for a while, he was inevitably a little slovenly and haggard, and it would be embarrassing for the juniors to see him.
