Chapter 360: Banquet of Hundred Children

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was late April.

Taige's first birthday party was also held in a grand manner with careful preparation by the Gu family. The grandness was not because many powerful people were invited to the party, but this time, Fourth Aunt specially organized a banquet for a hundred children.

As the name suggests, the Banquet of a Hundred Children means inviting ninety-nine children to the house for a banquet. Together with the little birthday boy Tai Ge'er, that makes exactly one hundred children.

There are big and small, boys and girls among them. Some are children of relatives, and some are orphans who once followed the Gu family to build the empire. They have been well taken care of by the Gu family over the years, so it is not difficult to gather a hundred children.

The only thing that Fourth Aunt did not expect was how noisy, or how noisy, these children would be when they got together. Even she, who was used to living in a military camp, found it too noisy, let alone other people.

Old Madam Gu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was happy to see the children's smiling faces, but she couldn't laugh anymore. After all, she was old, and she couldn't stand the constant chattering around her ears! So she told her fourth aunt.

"Hurry up and let them all go out to the yard to play. Call Ping'er and Xing Zhao, and the other sisters to lead a team each. Find more fun games that won't hurt anyone. Go ahead and do it. I can't handle your banquet for a hundred children anymore. I'd better go check on Jingyi first."

Seeing this, Fourth Auntie immediately raised her arms and shouted, "Children, go!"

This was quite interesting and immediately attracted the children's interest. A large group of them came, just like the boy soldiers who had just entered the camp. Although they were curious, they did not listen to the orders very much.

Fortunately, the Gu family had enough manpower, and all the old women, maids, servants, and even the stewards showed up. One person was watching two people, and they were always able to keep an eye on them. Wherever they went, there seemed to be a sea of ​​people.

Fortunately, the Gu family originally had a large piece of open space that was designated as a martial arts training ground, so it was much more appropriate to gather there.

Tai Ge'er had probably never seen such a lively scene before. He was a little confused at first, but after he got used to it, he started to dance with joy. He was held in Fourth Aunt's arms, but he jumped around very fast, as if he was struggling to go down and play with his brothers and sisters.

Seeing this, Fourth Aunt felt quite proud and said to Third Aunt next to her.

"Third sister-in-law, look, my idea is not bad, it's just that mother-in-law and Shao Yu's wife can't stand this kind of noise right now, otherwise it would be more fun!"

Seeing this, the third aunt waved her hand and said with some shock.

"This banquet was well organized by Fourth Brother's wife. Don't do it again next time. The children are still young now, and the maids and servants can still handle it. If they grow up, I'm afraid the roof will be torn down, not to mention the mother-in-law. I think I'll have a headache if I continue to listen. Otherwise, I'd better go back first?"

When Fourth Aunt heard this, she immediately grabbed her Third Sister-in-Law's hand, as if to say, "You're on this pirate ship, there's no hope of getting off," and she spoke "viciously."

"Don't even think about running away, Third Sister-in-law. What's the point of staying at home all day? Why don't you lead a team? Act like a kid again? And participate in the game."

After hearing this, the third aunt said with difficulty.

"Oh my, please spare my old bones. It's ok to ask me to embroider flowers, but how about playing games with the children? I'm afraid that whichever team I'm on will lose, and then the children won't be able to play to their heart's content."

"How could that be? I see that Third Sister-in-law is very talented. So let's do this. Quick, Lang'er, pull your mother into the team. At least give her a leader position!"

As a result, the third aunt suffered, the second aunt suffered, and even the eldest aunt and Madam Xing, who were just joining in the fun, were inexplicably forced to join in. Together with Ping'er, Xing Zhao, the three sisters of the Gu family and Su Erlang, there were exactly ten adults, each taking care of nine children.

The nine teams were divided by colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white and silver. They were quite complete and all had cloth strips tied on their arms to distinguish them.

As Tai Ge'er was too young, he could only follow his fourth aunt in giving orders on the stage, and from time to time he would ask his wet nurse to pull him down to join in the fun. For a while, the entire Gu family's martial arts training ground was filled with laughter.

Even the elders who were very reserved and uncomfortable at the beginning, began to feel competitive as they played. One second they were complaining about their old arms and legs, and the next second they were playing the art of war like children.

They are all family members of military generals, and none of them is dumber than anyone else.

So in the end, the score was very close, sometimes one side caught up and sometimes the other side caught up, which made people feel very nervous.

At this moment, sitting in the Qiwu Courtyard, listening to the faint laughter coming from the distance, Old Madam Gu said with a helpless smile.

"You've made a fool of yourself, my mother-in-law. The fourth son's wife has always been a lively person, so she has the most tricks. If I had known that she would invite so many children over, I would have gone to a temple outside the city to have some peace and quiet."

Then he asked Du Jingyi with concern.

"How is it? This noise doesn't bother you, does it? If it's too noisy, go to the fourth sister's yard. Her yard is farther from here, so maybe the noise will be quieter there."

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

Du Jingyi's belly is getting bigger and bigger now. When she stands up and looks down, there is only her round belly, and her feet are not visible at all. So now, whether she sits down, stands up or walks, people around her have to pay close attention to her.

She touched her belly nonchalantly and replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, grandma. I wouldn't dare get too close to my granddaughter-in-law. It's okay for her to sit in the yard and listen. But I think Brother Tai must be very happy. This kind of excitement doesn't always happen."

"Happy, happy. I saw how excited he was before I came here. I've never seen him like that before. He probably likes to play with other kids. The fourth son's wife's birthday party made him very happy."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Du changed the subject.

"Fourth Madam has a generous personality, which is rare. There are too many requirements for women in this world. To have such a personality, it can be seen that she was loved by her family when she was a girl at home. I think the old lady in the Gu family is also very tolerant."

After hearing what Mrs. Du said, Mrs. Gu smiled with her eyes curved and then said.

"There aren't so many rules and regulations for military commanders. Besides, I'm lazy, so I won't force them to do something. As a result, the fourth son's wife has developed a bad temper over time."
