"I was going to say the same thing. I asked my mother-in-law to bring it forward. But we don't have to worry about it. The young couple can live their own lives as long as they are comfortable."
The marriage has been arranged so no one would interfere. Even if sister-in-law Li was somewhat dissatisfied with the matter, she would not bring it up at this time.
After leaving Wangjiang Tower, everyone went home.
Gu Xiaolang and Yan Sanlang naturally went to the Yan family courtyard, and the Countess also wanted to say a few words to the couple, so she followed them.
The room in the middle of the courtyard was used to entertain guests. At this time, sister-in-law Li, Yan Silang and the couple were sitting on both sides.
The Countess sat at the head of the table and looked at the two of them with emotion and said.
"I used to hope that you two would be together, and now you have finally got what you wanted. Although it is a little different from what I thought at the beginning, as long as the two of you can live a good life, we as parents will not interfere. The things here are what I prepared for Sanlang. Although he is reluctant to accept them, this is my intention as a mother. You can keep them for emergencies or for the expenses of having children in the future. They will always be useful."
Then, fearing that the couple still didn't want to accept it, he deliberately put on a fierce face and said.
"Don't tell me those great principles. I only know my mother's feelings, and the common people are the same."
Now that things had come to this, the two of them had no choice but to accept it.
Moreover, the things in this box used to be something they wanted to exchange, but now, it is full of their mother's love, and it would be unreasonable for them not to accept it.
Return home in three days.
The good complexion on Gu Xiaolang's face proved the happiness of this marriage, so everyone in the Gu family was happy.
Now that Gu Xiaochun is pregnant, everyone is hoping that Gu Xiaolang will have good news soon. However, Yan Sanlang is not in a hurry about this. He believes that if fate comes, the child will come naturally, so he does not put pressure on Gu Xiaolang.
Third aunt was also filled with emotion about this. She had finally resolved the biggest issue that had been on her mind. Even if she died now, she could close her eyes in peace.
At the table, Du Jingyi talked about his plans to leave at the end of the month.
"Now that grandma's mourning period has passed, sister Lang has found a good home, and everything at home is running normally, it's time for us to go back."
Everyone knew that they were leaving, so although they were reluctant, they were still prepared.
The three aunts now have someone to rely on, so even if they leave, it won’t have much impact. Du Jingyi has one more thing to do today, which is to entrust the entire family to his eldest sister-in-law Chen Yinhua.
Although the eldest sister-in-law seldom went out of the yard during this period, Du Jingyi knew very well that with her ability and prestige, she could manage the family and suppress the evildoers outside, so she was the most suitable person to be the head of the family.
So he bowed deeply to Chen Yinhua.
"I don't know when I will return, but Tai Ge'er is the child of the Gu family. He will come back when he grows up. Therefore, I will ask my sister-in-law to take good care of the household for a few years."
"Do you believe me?"
Chen Yinhua always speaks directly, and since we are all family, there is no need to beat around the bush.
Du Jingyi smiled, his eyes showing calmness.
"Sister-in-law's character is so good that I can't find anyone to fault with it, not to mention me, even in the entire Jinling City, so I naturally believe it."
After hearing this, the others nodded. Now the Gu family is old and young, and the three sisters and their husbands are all busy with their own things, so the power of the housekeeper falls on the eldest sister-in-law, which can also help her to kill some free time. Therefore, everyone agreed with Du Jingyi's decision.
Seeing this, Chen Yinhua stopped shirking the responsibility.
He looked at Du Jingyi solemnly and said affirmatively word by word.
"In that case, don't worry. I will take good care of this family until Tai Ge'er comes back!"
"Jingyi thanks sister-in-law."
After saying that, she led Tai Ge'er to bow deeply, and Tai Ge'er's little face was full of seriousness. Although he did not understand much of what his mother said, he still had some awe for the serious aunt in front of him.
Chen Yinhua helped the mother and son up and smiled, a rare moment seen on his face.
In the following days, Du Jingyi packed his luggage while transferring power in the family.
And the eldest sister-in-law Chen Yinhua did not disappoint everyone's expectations. She did not want to get involved in the past, but once she took up the responsibility, she never shirked it. She first sorted out the accounts, and then established new rules. The servants were still the same servants, but they were much more rigorous than before.
Compared with her methods, Du Jingyi felt that he was still a little inferior.
But in my heart, I am very satisfied to leave the family to my sister-in-law.
That day, she was drinking tea in her spare time in Qiwu Courtyard when she saw her fourth aunt coming. She came alone, not with anyone else. When Du Jingyi saw her, she quickly stood up and saluted.
"Fourth Aunt."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Sit down, I have something to tell you."
Du Jingyi was already accustomed to Fourth Aunt's straightforward manner, so he nodded and spoke.
"What's up?"
"Didn't I say before that I would go back to Sui'an City with you? I'm afraid I won't be back for many years, so I plan to go to my mother's house and stay for three or two months, so that I can show my filial piety. So you guys should go back when it's time, and I'll go north after the summer."
Fourth Aunt's parents' home is far away from Jinling City, and it takes about 20 days to go back and forth. Even if Du Jingyi wants to wait for her, it would be too late in terms of time.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he said.
"It's natural for Fourth Aunt to want to go home and visit. So, you can take Lizhu and the others with you, so you'll have someone to accompany you on the journey."
Fourth Aunt smiled, looking as if she was seen through.
"I came here to ask you for the Lizhu. Otherwise, it would be a bit lonely to go south alone."
Fourth Aunt genuinely likes her disciple Li Zhu, and Du Jingyi can see that, so it's a good thing to let them spend more time together.
"Well, when does Fourth Aunt plan to leave?"
"I don't have much stuff, so I can leave tomorrow, and this way I can get there earlier."
Du Jingyi nodded and called Lizhu over. She had experienced a lot now, so she exuded a sense of calmness and composure, looking different from the playful girl before.
Perhaps because she was taught by her fourth aunt herself, her style of doing things is very similar to hers. Du Jingyi even feels that if she has the opportunity to join the camp, she will surely become a dashing female general in time! Therefore, she looked at Li Zhu with satisfaction in her eyes and said.
"You should accompany Fourth Aunt back to her hometown. Be careful on the road. We will go back to Sui'an City first and wait for you to gather together." (End of this chapter)
