Chapter 395: Flower Gathering Hall

Therefore, my sister-in-law and Ping'er stayed in Jinling City.

During the entire winter month, everyone in the Gu family was so quiet, but outsiders did not say much. After all, one month after Madam Gu was buried, they were supposed to follow certain rules, so apart from necessary things, they did not even go out normally.

It was not until the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month that Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi invited all the relatives and friends who had held roadside sacrifices to come to their house for a gathering.

After a month of recuperation, my aunt finally recovered. However, because she had been ill for a long time, she looked a lot thinner. Her face, which used to look round and kind, now looked much thinner, which was heartbreaking.

Once a person gets old, he or she cannot be fat or thin for a long time, otherwise he or she will look listless. This is the case with my aunt now, but fortunately, the Gu family has plenty of good things. I estimate that if she takes good care of herself for a few months this winter, she will be much better next year.

Gu Xiaoyun, who was suffering from morning sickness, is now three months pregnant and is much better. However, because she couldn't eat and vomited frequently in the early stage, she is very different from Gu Xiaochun when standing together.

One was that she had no reaction during the pregnancy and easily made it to the late stage of pregnancy, and the birth was just over a month away. The other was that she had severe reactions during the pregnancy, so she felt dizzy and her complexion was not very good.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoyun's husband's family are all doctors, so all she has to do next is rest well. Huo Silang has already prepared a number of dietary therapy recipes, waiting to be used for his wife.

There was no difference for other people, except that Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi were meeting the guests today as the acting head of the Gu family and the acting head's wife, so they naturally could not let outsiders look down on them.

Therefore, both of them dressed up more carefully today.

As they were still in mourning, they naturally could not wear red or green, so today they both chose jade-colored long gowns and skirts embroidered with bamboo and lotus patterns, and paired them with pea green rabbit fur jackets, which were warm and not ostentatious.

Both of them wore jade crowns and jade hairpins to tie up their hair, and there was no flaw to be found in their appearance.

Gu Shaoyu had bright features to begin with, so this simple and elegant attire actually counteracted a lot of his toughness. On the other hand, Du Jingyi put on a little peach blossom powder and a little red on her lips, which she then spread with her fingers to make her look even better.

Gu Shaoyu walked forward, looked Du Jingyi up and down, then chuckled and said.

"Madam, light or heavy makeup is always suitable."

When Du Jingyi heard his sincere praise, he accepted it without hesitation and replied with a smile on his face.

"The general is very handsome today."

The departure of Old Madam Gu made everyone in the Gu family very sad, but life had to go on, so with the deliberate weakening of Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi, the entire house was restored to the time when she was still alive.

Therefore, the couple didn't think there was anything wrong with joking around.

Just as they were getting ready, the wet nurses on the other side came over with their children.

Tai Ge'er is the future patriarch of the Gu family, so naturally his clothing is different from that of his other three younger brothers. At such a young age, he has already put on a black and gold unicorn-patterned robe, with a cloak of the same color on the outside, and a circle of fiery red fox fur, making him look majestic and luxurious.

However, the three younger brothers next to them were wearing the same clothes today, royal blue robes with round patterns. However, since they could not walk yet, they did not have shoes and were all held in the arms of their respective wet nurses.

This family of six standing together is really pleasing to the eyes.

"Let's go to the flower hall for breakfast first, and then we'll open the door to welcome guests."

"Yes, General."

When the huge group of people arrived at the flower hall, other people also arrived one after another. When they saw the family of six coming, they just smiled but said nothing.

As soon as he entered the door, Du Jingyi saw his eldest aunt talking to his second aunt. They looked much better, so he went forward to greet them.

"Aunt, why did Second Aunt come here so early?"

They both smiled, but it was the eldest aunt who spoke first.

"I've been lying in bed for two months, but I've lost all the sleep I've gotten in the past year. I thought I had a lot to do today, so I came over early to see if there's anything I can do to help you."

"Don't worry, auntie, everything is ready."

The aunt had heard about Du Jingyi's ability to get things done, so she was naturally relieved and spoke to the children behind her.

"Hurry up and bring all the brothers over to me. They have been sick for these days. I wonder if they still remember me, their great-grandmother."

"Of course I remember what my sister-in-law said!"

As soon as the second aunt finished speaking, Tai Ge'er, who had just come down from the wet nurse's arms, came over with his chubby little legs. When he first saw the eldest aunt, he was a little stunned, as if he was a little unsure because she had lost a lot of weight.

But when he saw that his great aunt still stretched out her hands to him as usual, and smiled as if wanting a hug, the memories of the past came flooding back, and Tai Ge'er happily threw himself into his great-grandmother's arms.

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

"Big big big..."

He couldn't say anything after talking for half a day, which made everyone laugh.

"This child is almost two years old now. I don't know why he just can't speak clearly. Not to mention one sentence at a time, even the repeated words are not clear. Fortunately, I asked Doctor Xia before and he said there is no big problem, otherwise I would be worried."

Du Jingyi sat down while talking and smiling.

Although his tone seemed to mention some of Taige's shortcomings, his love for him was evident.

"You are still so young, why do you need to say so much? As the old saying goes, noble people speak slowly, isn't that right? You two don't have to worry, maybe Tai Ge'er is taking notes, and when he wants to speak one day, he will be able to speak in paragraphs naturally."

The aunt spoke carefully and seriously.

Among the four children, she loved Tai Ge'er the most. After all, he had been raised in the Gu family since he was half a year old. So many eyes were staring at him, so naturally she couldn't let him go.

The three brothers after her were born in these turbulent times, and she was unable to take care of themselves, so she loved them less.

But the second aunt liked the third brother more, probably because it reminded her of the past, so the three children were placed on the couch covered with crabapple flowers, and she wanted to kiss them every time she looked at them.

As they were talking, they saw the eldest sister-in-law and Ping'er coming over, along with the third aunt, fourth aunt and others.

There were two tables, one for the elders and one for the younger ones. The eldest and second aunts loved the children, so naturally they wanted them to sit next to them.

The eldest aunt was even more exaggerated. She took over the job of feeding Tai Ge'er as a wet nurse.
