Du Jingyi hadn't had dinner at her mother's house for a long time. Now, taking advantage of the return of her elder sister and nephews and nieces, she had dinner at the Du family several times in a row. In addition, every time she came from the general's mansion, Gu Shaoyu and the children had to accompany her.

So after a few days, the wealthy families in Sui'an City knew that the general's wife's elder sister had returned. As a result, many occasions where she should not have been allowed to attend were even sent to the Du family.

Not to mention Du Jingxiang, even Mr. Du and Mrs. Du didn't know what to do when they saw those posts.

If it were usual, they would just go and it would only take a meal. Besides, there were many powerful and wealthy families, and their Du family was nothing among them.

But things are different now. Even the wife of a seventh-rank official from a small place like Pingzhou, like Du Jingxiang, can attend the banquet in Sui'an City. Doesn't this further prove that the storm that Gu Shaoyu has encountered after the mourning period is about to come again?

So, they are also very embarrassed.

So he put the posts in front of Du Jingyi and said with great embarrassment.

"Now that the invitation has been sent, it's difficult for us to go or not. We are afraid of making things difficult for you and your wife. People outside think that you are giving us enough face because of your power, but you are really putting us on the fire."

Today, Gu Shaoyu was playing chess with Master Du in the front hall, so only the three of them, mother and daughter, were talking in the back yard, so what they said was much more straightforward.

When Du Jingyi heard this, he didn't think anything of it, and then he said.

"It's just a post. If mother and sister want to go and see the fun, go ahead. If you don't want to go, just find a reason to leave. It's fine. If you have to be tied to the general's mansion for everything you do, how can you live in the future?"

"Is it really possible? Will it affect you? If outsiders say that you have a bullying family, wouldn't it be bad for your reputation?"

Du Jingxiang hasn't been back to Sui'an City for many years, so he has no idea what the situation is like here.

Hearing her words, Du Jingyi couldn't help but smile and said.

"In the early years, people in Sui'an City were saying that I had a tough life and that the general and I were incompatible. But I managed to get through it, didn't I? If I were the kind of person who listened to rumors outside, would I be able to live so comfortably? Sister, you underestimate me."

Seeing this, Mrs. Du nodded and then said.

"That's true. We live our own lives. It's none of our business what others say. However, I think it's not easy for you to come here, Xiangxiang. You should go out more these days. If nothing else, it's good to get to know more people. The people in the court have many connections in their backyards. Even if you're as far away as Pingzhou, you might know someone there, right?"

When Du Jingxiang heard this, he took a deep breath and his eyes wavered a little.

Normally, with her personality, she would not go if she could avoid it. She didn't like this kind of occasion at all and was not good at saying nice things. But her mother's words were always ringing in her ears, and it was indeed true.

Even for the future of her husband and children, she couldn't always stay at home, so she was a little shaken. So Mrs. Du struck while the iron was hot and spoke.

"We don't need to go to every banquet. You and I will just pick a few familiar ones to go and have a look first. There's no need to be so anxious, right, Tangtang?"

Of course Du Jingyi understood what his mother meant, so everyone worked together to persuade Du Jingxiang.

In the end, Du Jingxiang also felt that he should change a little, so he agreed to this matter. The first banquet in front of him was the birthday banquet of the Li family. Therefore, Du Jingxiang went from worrying about whether to go to the banquet to being in a dilemma. What gift should he send? In this case, Mrs. Du would naturally arrange everything properly.

Du Jingxiang said with a face full of emotion and some self-blame.

"I am already such a grown-up, and I still make my mother and sister worry so much. I am really ashamed."

"Why are you ashamed? We are a family, why are you saying this? When my brother-in-law can be transferred from Pingzhou to Sui'an City to be an official, our whole family can be reunited in a lively atmosphere."

Although she said so, Du Jingxiang did not have such high hopes for her husband's future, but she still accepted Du Jingyi's blessing and said with a smile.

"Okay, when I get back, I will encourage your brother-in-law to work harder and give the two children a better starting point."

Hearing this, the mother and her two daughters all laughed. However, when talking about the two children, Mrs. Du still had some other thoughts in her mind, but she couldn't bring them up at the moment. She simply waited until they got more accustomed to getting along with the children.

The adults naturally talked about everything, and the children also developed a deeper bond through playing and fighting, although at the beginning, the brothers didn't quite like the eldest cousin's silence and the younger cousin's timidity.

But children can quickly relax when getting along with others. Once a person relaxes, his true nature will be revealed. In addition, although these two children have not seen as much of the world as Tai Ge'er and his four brothers, they have also been carefully taught at home.

Therefore, being humble has its advantages. The occasional temper tantrums made the Tai brothers like this older cousin and younger cousin.

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

In the yard, six people were squatting on the ground, watching the ants carrying the things with great interest.

"A piece of cake can attract so many ants. It's really a case of no gain without pain."

"You should say that they worked together and were united. Look at the size of the cake. It would take many ants put together to make it this big. But look at how long it has taken to move more than half of it. Isn't that thought-provoking?"

The four brothers were chattering non-stop, but Yun'er and his sister were silent. Seeing this, Tai'er asked curiously.

"Cousin Yun, Cousin Yan, aren't you curious?"

"What are you curious about? It's just the nature of ants. Even if it's not the cake today, but other food, as long as they need it to survive, don't they have to move it? You are reading all kinds of life principles, I think ants don't think so much, having something to eat is the most important thing."

He Qianyun confused all the brothers with just one sentence.

They had never thought of this idea before. As expected, there must be a teacher among three people. So Brother Tai smiled and said. (End of this chapter)
