Chapter 2057: Grandpa
Chapter 2057: Chapter 2057: Grandpa
Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxin found Han Wang’s arrival quite strange, but they didn’t pay much attention to it, because they had something else to do, which was to pick up the Shu family’s grandpa.
Shu Xing hadn’t left Tongcheng for many years, but this time he received a letter from his grandson and came in person.
The correspondence between Gu Qingheng and the Shu family was always done through carrier pigeons.
However, after Yang Ruxin’s Xiaohei brought back so many little brothers, she sent one eagle to Tongcheng. The first time it flew was actually with a pigeon from Tongcheng, and after that, the eagle became the liaison between Gu Qingheng and the Shu family. Of course, they later sent another eagle, so communication with the Shu family was much more convenient now.
Additionally, because the Shu family also started a spicy sauce business, the two families kept in very frequent contact.
The two hadn’t been out of the city for long before they saw two seemingly inconspicuous carriages slowly approaching along the official road.
Gu Qingheng’s expression instantly softened.
Yang Ruxin, however, felt somewhat nervous, after all, the elderly person in the carriage was the one her husband truly acknowledged as the family head. She, the not-so-pretty daughter-in-law, was finally going to meet the in-laws.
Gu Qingheng held Yang Ruxin’s hand, "Second Uncle likes you so much, Grandpa will like you too."
Yang Ruxin just smiled without speaking.
"Cousin, Cousin-in-law." The young man sitting on the carriage shaft waved enthusiastically from afar; it was Shu Luo, Shu Jingzhi’s youngest son, looking very excited.
The two carriages quickly came to a stop in front of them, and Gu Qingheng stepped forward.
Suddenly, Yang Ruxin’s palms were slightly sweating.
"Cousin-in-law, are you nervous?" Shu Luo, familiar with Yang Ruxin, though they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, wasn’t at all unfamiliar.
"Meeting the grandpa, being nervous is a must." Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes at the boy, "Even if I’m not nervous, I have to act as if I am, right?"
Shu Luo couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
"Who said you must be nervous to meet me?" At this moment, an old man with a childlike face and white hair, supported by Gu Qingheng, spoke as he exited the carriage, "Am I a fierce beast or a monster?"
Shu Luo couldn’t help but make a face at Yang Ruxin, oh no, their whisper was overheard.
Instead, Yang Ruxin calmed down and quickly stepped forward, "Greetings, Grandpa."
"Hmm, the girl looks good." Shu Xing stood there looking at Yang Ruxin, "But, you haven’t answered my question yet."
"Grandpa." Yang Ruxin touched her nose, "Of course, an ugly daughter-in-law would be nervous meeting the in-laws, I can’t escape tradition either..."
"You girl... haha..." Shu Xing laughed, "Actually, I’m the one who’s nervous seeing you."
"Ah?"
"Your chilies are making money for the Shu family, you’re the Shu family’s little treasure, how can I not be nervous?"
"Grandpa, what you’re saying..."
"Your grandpa isn’t wrong." Shu Luo jumped in, "Cousin-in-law, the pickled vegetable restaurant’s business is booming..."
"Dad, can we go back and sit down to talk?" Shu Jingzhi got down from the carriage behind, "This isn’t the place for a conversation."
"Yes, Grandpa, let’s go home." Gu Qingheng also nodded.
Since it was still early, they didn’t linger in the Prefectural City, but headed straight to the county town.
After the carriages left, someone glanced in the departing direction, then quickly returned and went straight into Xingyuan.
