Chapter 302 Autumn Banquet

Hearing this, Madam Gu was naturally happy.

"Autumn Banquet. I've only eaten the Autumn Crab Banquet in various mansions before. I've never heard of the Autumn Banquet in a farmer's house."

Fourth aunt mentioned it, and Old Madam Gu followed up on the conversation.

"It's hard for my mother-in-law to think of us in everything. We must go to such occasions!"

"I'm sorry to bother you, old lady. We'll slaughter some cattle and sheep and have a fresh meal together."

"Just follow the arrangements made by my mother-in-law!"

After getting Madam Gu's approval, Mrs. Du sat and talked for a while before going back. This time, she was not only inviting people from the general's mansion to the banquet, but also those families who had close contacts with the Du family.

For example, the Han family, the Su family and the Wen family.

These two families are also close friends of Mr. Du in the business world, and they have business dealings with each other on a daily basis. Add to that all the tenants, and there will be quite a lot of people attending this autumn banquet, young and old.

Du Jingyi had seen it, but no one else in the general's mansion, including the people from the Guo family, had seen it.

Originally, when Mrs. Du sent the invitation, she didn't think that the Guo family would also go, so after receiving the message from her daughter, she was a little surprised, and then she gave the order.

"Quick, write another note carefully and I will personally deliver it to the Guo family! This will also show our sincerity!"

So, two days later, Mrs. Du visited the Guo family again.

Because she had informed Mrs. Du in advance, Mrs. Guo received her personally. She was very kind and did not act like a prime minister's wife at all.

Therefore, when Mrs. Du came out, she had a smile on her face. She didn't speak until she got on the carriage and took a few deep breaths.

"I never thought that I would have the opportunity to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion and interact with the prince's maternal family in this life. This is really a blessing from my daughter!"

She said this happily, and the old woman beside her was also happy.

Therefore, after returning, Mrs. Du deliberately instructed Mr. Du that this autumn banquet must be held well. The first and foremost issue is the manpower problem. More people must be sent from the escort agency to take care of it.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it would be a small matter for the Du family to get into trouble, but it would be bad if it affected their daughter.

The ninth day of October is the day of the Du family's banquet.

Early in the morning, the carriage from the general's mansion went to the Guo family, picked up the old lady Guo, the third lady Guo, the fourth son of the Guo family, and other people of interest to the Guo family, and then set off together to the Du family's farm outside the city.

The weather was clear and crisp throughout the journey, and although it was a little chilly, the passion in everyone's hearts was high, so they didn't feel cold at all.

Especially the two old ladies, who seldom come out, and every time they get together they have endless things to talk about, which makes it difficult for the younger generations to get a word in.

When Silang of the Guo family and Xue Niang met, they were extremely sweet.

This made the eldest sister-in-law Liu sigh twice and move closer to Du Jingyi and said.

"I'd rather talk with you. I see Xue Niang doesn't even see me, her sister-in-law."

She was naturally joking, so Du Jingyi followed suit.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. In the future, Ping'er and his wife may not be able to see you."

"Hahahaha, then I hope my sister-in-law will have this day too?"

Then, sister-in-law Liu tapped Taige'er's little nose, which made him dance with joy while holding the toy in his hand.

It took less than an hour to reach the Du family's farm.

In the past, Madam Gu and her friends went to Wuling Manor, and now they are going to Songlinpo.

As the name suggests, behind this piece of farmland is a large pine forest and mountain. Even in the cold winter, it is still dark green and looks very vibrant.

The rice in the fields has been harvested, so they look a bit bare now.

Looking at the piles of crops, it can be seen that the harvest is indeed good.

The farm was specially swept, so it was clean and tidy, but the peppers and corns hanging everywhere gave the farm a unique charm.

"The old lady is here, and so is the old lady Guo. This really makes our little village shine."

Mr. Du and Mrs. Du hurried forward to greet them, making a big scene, and Mrs. Gu also responded with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, we are just waiting to eat the ready-made food."

"We are so happy that you can come. Let someone show you around first. When the water boils, we will kill pigs and sheep so that everyone can have a fresh meal."

"Okay, my in-laws will take care of the arrangements."

After welcoming the important figures in, the Han family members who had already arrived also followed suit to greet them. Facing the families of these dignitaries, the Han family had also done business before, so they were not too reserved.

The two old ladies, Guo and Gu, had never seen much of the world, so everything they saw was new to them.

He asked this and that, and finally found an old peasant woman who was humorous and not shy. He was listening to her telling interesting stories about the fields.

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

It was quite interesting to hear the two elders sometimes laughing and sometimes frowning.

Guo Jiashilang and Xue Niang rarely went out, so they found a place not far away and started talking while walking.

"In a few days, we won't be able to see each other anymore. Grandma said this is the last time, so we have to follow the rules."

The Guo family also has some strict family rules, so they must be followed.

Fortunately, the divorce period is not far away, and it will be over if we just hold on.

"Well, this year, my sixth brother and his wife are going to Jinling City to celebrate the New Year. My eldest sister-in-law and I are the only ones guarding the General's Mansion. I can finally calm down and embroider the wedding dress properly."

"You want to embroider your wedding dress yourself?"

"Not entirely, but I think it would make more sense to do the main part myself."

Guo Silang picked up the purse that Xuenniang had given him and hung around his waist and said.

"Just look at this and you'll know how skillful you are. I'm sure your wedding dress will be beautiful too!"

These words made Xue Niang blush a little. Guo Silang couldn't help but want to reach out and touch her, but Xue Niang dodged him and said a little shyly.

"Shiro, don't mess around."

When the word "Silang" came out of his mouth, Guo Ziyong laughed.

"Everyone in the family calls me Silang. If you keep calling me that, it will seem boring. Why don't you change your name?"

Xue Niang looked at her curiously, as if asking, "Isn't it better to call her the same?" Guo Jia Si Lang also saw what she meant, and then explained.

"I just want you to be different from the others."

After hearing this, Xue Niang lowered her head and smiled, then asked.

"What's the call?"

"I used to have a nickname called Yoshitomo. If you like, how about calling me Yoshitomo?"

Brother, looking for brother? Xue Niang couldn't bring herself to call him that.

In the end, it was only after Silang of the Guo family coaxed her for a long time that he heard her call him softly, which was so sweet to his heart.
