For two consecutive years, someone in the fifth room died in the first month of the year. This was not a good sign, but no one in the fifth room took it seriously, and outsiders could not say anything.

However, no one knew that Mrs. Guo, who was hastily buried, was dug out again while the soil was still fresh, and disappeared into the night.

It seems to indicate that this year will be another uneasy year.

Jinling City, Gu family.

The entire first month of the year was filled with visiting and welcoming each other. Several aunts took their children to visit one relative after another, and they were very happy.

Du Jingyi did not participate much because she cherished the days she could be reunited with her husband. She stayed in Qiwuyuan most of the time, leading a simple and comfortable life with her husband and son Taiger.

One day, the couple had just coaxed Tai Ge to sleep when they saw Cherry tiptoeing in from outside and then spoke in a low voice.

"General, Madam, the old lady wants to see you. She said there are distinguished guests at home."

Those who came these days were all people who were very close to the Gu family, but none of them had ever been called a "distinguished guest". Du Jingyi was very curious about what kind of person would be called a distinguished guest.

As a result, Gu Shaoyu thought about it and said excitedly.

"It's probably my eldest and fourth cousins' wives who are here."

"Cousin's wife?"

Suddenly, Du Jingyi remembered what her fourth aunt had said to her before. The Gu family originally had four cousins-in-law, and the eldest cousin-in-law had a miscarriage due to excessive grief. So she was curious and respectful towards these cousins-in-law.

So he stood up and spoke in a low voice.

"Then General, let's go meet him quickly, so as not to keep the cousins ​​waiting for too long."

Gu Shaoyu nodded, and then asked Yingtao and wet nurse Fu who was waiting outside the door to look after Tai Ge'er who was already asleep, and then the two of them went there.

In Qiude Courtyard, as soon as the couple entered the door, they saw that everyone had red eyes, especially Old Madam Gu and the eldest aunt, who were crying so sadly.

I think she was thinking of the child in her cousin's womb. If she had been born safely, she would be seven or eight years old now. It's such a pity.

"The grandson (grandson's wife) has met the grandmother, the aunt and the aunts, Sister Chen, and Sister Xu."

The reason why they are called "Ajie" is because Old Madam Gu has strictly ordered that since the four cousins ​​have left the Gu family, they should no longer be treated by the previous title. It is better to follow their surnames and call them "Ajie" to show respect.

Hearing this address, Du Jingyi also understood Madam Gu's intentions, so he was particularly respectful to his two former cousins-in-law, just like he treated his eldest sister-in-law at home.

"Get up, get up, come and take a look. Your two sisters haven't been back for many years. I see that they look much better. I guess the world outside is vast and they are living a comfortable life."

Old Madam Gu sincerely hoped for the best for them and didn't want them to hang themselves in the Gu family at such a young age, so she was determined to make them all leave at all costs.

Even for the second and third cousins ​​who had remarried, Old Madam Gu was happy from the bottom of her heart that they had found their true love again. She privately gave each of them five thousand taels of silver notes and two shops as dowry.

Therefore, if we occasionally meet at a banquet in Jinling City, we will not be shy about it and will just treat them as our bride's family.

As soon as the two sisters-in-law saw Gu Shaoyu, they spoke with a look of nostalgia on their faces.

"I was a little kid following the old marshal back then, but now I'm thirty years old. Time really flies."

The person who said this was the eldest cousin's wife. She was the oldest in Gu Shaoyu's generation and was now thirty-two years old.

She was born with a pretty appearance, but her aura was extraordinary.

Especially that pair of eyes that can recognize people. Just a light glance at Du Jingyi made Du Jingyi have some thoughts of not daring to act rashly. With such a skill, if she was still in the Gu family, the Gu family would probably become more valuable in the future.

And this Sister Chen, my former cousin's wife, is indeed a figure in Jinling City.

The Chen family is a family of sages for generations, so she has been well-read since childhood and is very intelligent. After graduating from school, she taught in her own academy for seven or eight years.

Ever since she came of age, there has been a constant stream of people coming to propose marriage to her.

Unfortunately, she declined them all. Her reason was that she didn't want to suffer injustice, nor did she want to stay in the small piece of land in the backyard and do things to serve her husband. As a result, she became an "older" woman.

As she was over 20 years old and still had no place to stay, the people in the Chen family once thought that this girl would live out her life alone. However, who would have thought that she would meet Dalang from the Gu family and have such a fate with him.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

At the beginning, when Marshal Gu and Madam Gu heard that their eldest grandson had taken a fancy to the young lady of the Chen family, they went to the house to propose marriage without saying a word. They did not care at all what outsiders said and felt that they had found a treasure.

If such a determined woman could become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, it would be an honor for the Gu family and the key to the future prosperity of the family.

Therefore, the two got married late and had children late. They became parents for the first time when they were in their twenties. Who would have thought that such a good thing could not be maintained, and it eventually became a pain in everyone's hearts.

Within the Gu family, when it comes to the person Gu Shaoyu admires most, the first person he admires is his grandfather, Marshal Gu, and the second is his former cousin-in-law.

Therefore, after hearing her elder-like tone, he did not feel aggrieved at all and spoke with a smile.

"Sister, that's right. I still remember that I followed you and asked you to sell a piece of calligraphy for money. Who knew you were so stingy! Not to mention the calligraphy, you didn't even want to give me a single character."

Gu Shaoyu's words made everyone recall many past events.

The calligraphy works of Sister Chen are very valuable outside. Sometimes when the cousins ​​are short of money, they will come to beg Sister Chen to write a copy for them to sell outside so that they can live a more comfortable life.

Unfortunately, after she found out about this, she gathered all her brothers together, gave them a severe scolding, and also gave each of them twenty sticks, telling them that they should share the good times and the bad times.

Several people cried out in pain. After all, they were teachers, so they knew where it hurt the most! "You little brat, I knew you were thinking about it. Okay, for the sake of your wife and son, I specially sent you a painting and calligraphy this time. You can take a look at it. If I find out that you are selling it for money again, I will show you how I will deal with you!"

Although Sister Chen and Gu Shaoyu are of the same generation, the way they get along is more like an elder disciplining a younger generation.
