Chapter 572 Gu Jiuer
"It's the same with these two. They've been delayed for so many years. Look how old they have become. If they had fallen in love with each other in Jinling City, my grandchildren would probably be three or four years old now."
Aunt Xing and Xing Zhao had been battling each other for so many years, and finally they got the news that this gentleman was going to get married. She originally thought that she might not be able to see this scene even if she died, so even though she complained, she was still very happy in her heart.
"Wait until they get married, isn't it just a matter of time? Besides, being older is a good thing. Once you know your responsibilities at home, you'll be able to handle your life with ease in the future."
Du Jingyi's words touched Aunt Xing's heart, and she began to make plans.
"These two children cannot get married without a courtyard. Your family has many connections in Sui'an City. Please help me find a suitable one. Well, a four-courtyard house is best. It would be even better if it can have two courtyards on both sides, so that there will be a place to raise children in the future. Oh, and it must be close to the general's mansion so that I can come and visit in the future. As for the rest, pick a good one. Price is not a problem."
Aunt Xing looked so wealthy and powerful that Du Jingyi laughed.
"You don't know, your uncle and I have been preparing things for him to marry since he was born, and you see, they are only used now, so don't save money for us. It's rare that Doctor Xia thinks highly of him, so we have to choose everything for the last minute! We will never let my precious daughter-in-law suffer any injustice!"
Seeing her aunt like this, Du Jingyi was happy for Xia Meng in her heart. She knew that with her aunt's personality, she would not pursue those things that require a way out. She just hoped that the two of them could live a good life.
So as Xia Meng's good friend, she also said something to Aunt Xing.
"With my aunt here, outsiders won't say anything."
Aunt Xing was very sensitive and immediately asked with a frown.
"Someone gossiped about Doctor Xia's family background? Who is it? So bold? Aren't they afraid that I will tear off their roof?"
Given Aunt Xing's temper and ability, Du Jingyi had no doubt at all about what she said, so he continued to complain calmly.
"Madam Xing, and the ladies around her."
"Humph, I knew it. My eldest sister-in-law has always been so long-handed. She always uses the Imperial Concubine and the Seventh Prince to force the Xing family to do things. My husband and Zhao'er have done enough for the Xing family and their first wife, yet they still dare to point fingers at my daughter-in-law. Wait, I'm going to find her to argue with her!"
She's always going to explode. The older Aunt Xing gets, the worse her temper gets.
Du Jingyi quickly stopped her and spoke soothingly.
"Don't worry, Aunt. If you go there, you might just make enemies for yourself. Let's find a suitable opportunity and attack together. It will also let Madam Xing know that Xia Meng is not without support."
After hearing this, Aunt Xing suppressed her temper. Although she was reluctant, she still nodded in agreement and added another sentence.
"Sister-in-law, why did you have to pick on our Zhao'er? That kid is known for his cunning ways. Just wait and see. When he comes back and finds out, there will be trouble again."
These are still unknowns. The most important thing right now is to settle the people at home and have a reunion dinner as a family first.
After school, Tai Ge'er and his friends met their great-grandmothers whom they hadn't seen for several years. They rushed over to them, forgetting that they were no longer children but grown boys.
His strength was so great that he almost knocked down his great-grandmother and the second grandmother, causing the children standing nearby to laugh non-stop.
Jin'er has grown into a big sister now. She was five or six years old, which was the age when she was pretty and cute. So when she smiled, her younger brothers and sisters behind her also laughed out loud.
Then, she bowed sweetly and said.
"Big brother, you are really brave. Grandma was almost knocked down by you."
When they saw Jin'er, the four brothers' eyes lit up. At this time, the great-grandmother was no longer interested and quickly came over to speak.
"Is it Sister Jin'er? How come you are so cute?"
"That's right, why didn't I know about your sister before?"
Wen Ge'er's interruption made everyone laugh so hard that they bent over, and then the great-grandmother explained.
"When Jin'er was born, Tai'er was less than two years old, and you three brothers were still babies. How could you possibly remember? But it's not too late now. Not only Jin'er, but also Zhong'er, Jing'er, and Wen'er are here. With so many children in this generation, there is still only Jin'er, a daughter. The feng shui of the Gu family is really good for male offspring."
Jin'er and Wen'er are the grandchildren of the great grandmother, Zhong'er and Jing'er are the grandchildren of the second grandmother. Speaking of which, there is also a Nan'er in this generation of the Gu family, who is the son of Gu Xiaolang and Yan Sanlang.
The descendant's surname is still Gu, but the two have agreed that the next child will have the surname Yan, so it is estimated that there will be nine children in this generation.
With a room full of children, it seemed as if the Gu family had returned to the bustle of the past, but compared to the Gu family at that time, the general's mansion was now more lively.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the past, the children of the Gu family seemed to be born to be military generals, so all of them died on the battlefield. But now, as Du Jingyi watched from the side, it seems that the Gu family will produce more civil servants.
If Tai Ge'er wants to be the head of the Gu family, he must excel in both civil and military affairs.
Wen Ge'er is so strong that it seems that he would not be able to succeed if he did not join the army. Now there comes Zhong Ge'er who is also strong and powerful. As soon as they meet, they start to "fight" with each other, which makes everyone laugh.
As for Congge'er, Du Jingyi thought that he might want to go into business in the future. His father and mother also wanted to hand over everything of the Du family to him in the future, so every time they went there, they would give Congge'er a question separately and give him the answer when they met next time.
Congge'er did not disappoint their expectations. He was able to explain most of the questions. Even if there were some things he didn't know, he would ask them humbly.
Apart from them, Du Jingyi saw that the rest, such as Ming and Jing, were all humble and polite, so he was afraid that the possibility of them pursuing literary careers was higher.
As for my brother, he is still a baby and only knows how to suck his fingers. It is not obvious yet.
Thinking of this, I also feel that it is better to let a hundred flowers bloom, so that the Gu family can continue to operate from generation to generation, and will not end up like in the past, with everyone dying in battle and ending up with loyal martyrs.
"Time flies by so fast. Look, Tai has grown into a big boy."
The great-grandmother sighed and said this, and everyone felt that what she said was true.
