Gu Shaoyu obviously enjoyed her "scolding" very much. Du Jingyi even felt that he was eager to be scolded to feel comfortable.
As she spoke, Sister Chen looked at Du Jingyi, and then said with a relatively gentle expression.
"You will be the head of the Gu family from now on. I think you are a kind person, so you must remember that when it comes to family matters, rules are the most important. The person who doesn't follow the rules the most is the one next to you, so you must keep an eye on him."
Gu Shaoyu said with a bitter look on his face.
"Sister, don't do this. You're telling Tangtang all this when you first meet her. Isn't that going to make her know all my past? What if she regrets marrying me?"
After hearing this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but chuckle and said.
"I used to think that you were fearless, but now it seems that someone has been found to punish you. So you must behave yourself in the future. Otherwise, as my sister said, I will have to be strict with my family."
She said this in Sister Chen's tone, which made everyone present laugh. Even the serious Sister Chen's smile curled up a bit.
My impression of Du Jingyi improved a lot.
In fact, she was testing him this way on purpose. It was inappropriate for her to say such things given her status. After all, the serious elders above her were Madam Gu and several aunts and cousins.
But it was because she knew how big a family Du Jingyi would be in the future that she said some unpleasant things with a cold face as soon as she came to see how she would respond? Unexpectedly, she would solve it easily.
He doesn't make himself feel embarrassed and can also divert everyone's attention to Gu Shaoyu. It seems that he is a smart person.
Therefore, after confirming this, her obsession with the Gu family was somewhat relieved, so she stepped back and stopped saying anything more to embarrass the couple.
Seeing that she knew her limits very well, Du Jingyi understood that Sister Chen was testing her on purpose, but she didn't feel angry or treated poorly. She just felt sad that such a good woman was ultimately wasted by this world.
However, I heard that she is now teaching her nieces at home. With her character, she will surely be able to raise many independent and strong women, and they will not have to rely on their husband's family for a living in the future.
Unlike Sister Chen who is serious and earnest, Sister Xu, my former fourth cousin-in-law, is lively and cheerful.
It seems that she and Fourth Aunt have "similar interests". When she was still in the Gu family, she had the closest relationship with Fourth Aunt. Although the two of them were not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they got along with each other like close friends.
Therefore, when she arrived, she first paid her respects to Old Madam Gu and her former mother-in-law, Second Aunt, and then spent more time talking with Fourth Aunt.
After seeing Sister Chen retreat, she stood out with a smile, her eyes and brows showing a tranquility that comes from seeing through the world, but she is not celibate, on the contrary, she looks more and more energetic, and it can be seen that she is a person who is used to living in all parts of the world.
She pointed to the gift on the table and said.
"These are special products I brought back from the southwest. They are not valuable. Just look at them for fun. I heard that you two brought a little kid back. Let me take a look and see if he is as cute as Fourth Aunt said."
As soon as she said this, Gu Shaoyu said to the fourth aunt with a bitter face.
"Aunt Four, please stop telling everyone how talented Tai Ge'er is. My nephew has been hearing this for the past two days and his ears are almost callused. You know that all the relatives at home are thinking about him. If you keep praising him like this, I'm afraid that the child's character will be unstable in the future."
"What are you afraid of? We still have Yinhua (Sister Chen). If Taigeer gets naughty in the future, you'll be the one to help him with martial arts and she'll be the one to help him with literature. Don't you have to learn all the rules? He's just a grown-up now. Isn't it normal to just praise him a little? How can your own child not be cute? Not smart?"
Fourth Aunt's words really left Gu Shaoyu speechless, but it was true after all. However, Sister Chen spoke up.
"My little bit of knowledge can be used to enlighten Brother Tai. If he achieves something in the future and wants to pursue a higher level of knowledge, I will go find my grandfather to be his teacher. He is much more capable than I am."
Sister Chen's grandfather was one of the three great Confucian scholars in Jinling City, and his status was even higher than that of Master Ming, whom Shang Qilang had already become his disciple. So if Tai could really get his guidance, his status among the literati in the future would be extraordinary.
This is not just a matter of knowledge, but the position of the apprentice is there. Even if one is older, if the position is lower, when he sees Tai Ge'er, he still has to call him uncle, or even junior uncle.
Du Jingyi didn't quite understand the ins and outs of it, but Gu Shaoyu did.
Therefore, he bowed solemnly to Sister Chen and said with a serious expression.
"Thank you, sis."
Sister Chen waved her hands, as if she was simply introducing a relative to the family. Her calmness and magnanimity made Old Madam Gu happy but also felt a little sorry.
"It's a rare visit for the two of you, so why don't you leave today?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sister Xu came forward and spoke in a coquettish manner.
"Grandma, are you going to chase me away? I have packed my bags and I will definitely not leave! I came back from my grandfather's house this time thinking of staying for three or two months before going back. I have been with my parents for more than a month. Now I am back home, and I want to stay for ten days or half a month!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu was so happy that she smiled so hard that her eyebrows and eyes could not be seen clearly.
But Sister Chen on the side spoke very politely.
"I've asked for leave this time, and I can only stay for three days before I go back. The children at home are not old enough to go out as apprentices yet, so they need to behave themselves."
When my aunt heard this, she also nodded.
She is very familiar with her former daughter-in-law's style of doing things. She will not agree to anything easily, but once she agrees, she will not deal with it carelessly, but will definitely do it very well and thoroughly.
Seeing this, Du Jingyi had some ideas in his mind, so he asked softly.
"I wonder how old these nieces in my sister's family are now?"
"Twelve or thirteen, what's wrong?"
Normally girls would stop learning at home after they reached the age of 15. Although it is not clear whether this was also the case with the Chen family, the timing was just right.
So Du Jingyi said something meaningful.
"Now there are several younger sisters in the family, all of whom are of marriageable age. I am pregnant with another child, and I am afraid that the children will need a teacher to teach them in the future. I think my elder sister is very suitable."
