"You know, I never talk nonsense."

"Okay, if there are people who are blind and want to make trouble for me in the future, I will use the general's name to scare them. It's a good idea to use such a useful backer."

"I'll give it to you. Isn't it for you and the children that I earned all this money?"

"That's right!"

Chatting and laughing, the two came to the children's yard. As soon as they entered the door, they heard the sound of wailing. So before the smile on Du Jingyi's face faded, he became anxious and forgot about Gu Shaoyu, who he had just held hands with.

Looking at his empty hands, Gu Shaoyu felt for a moment that it was true that comparing yourself with others would make you feel pissed off.

Then, he strode towards the crying sound. He also wanted to know why his son was crying.

When Gu Shaoyu entered the main house, he saw his father-in-law, mother-in-law and his wife coaxing one child each. Tai Ge'er, on the other hand, was sitting calmly at the table. The look in his eyes when he looked at his three younger brothers revealed that children just love to cry, which was quite funny.

"Father."

When Tai Ge'er saw him, he got off the stool and ran over, throwing himself into Gu Shaoyu's arms. Then Gu Shaoyu picked him up and asked.

"Why are you crying, brothers?"

When Tai Ge heard this question, he remained calm. He thought about it and then said.

"I'm hungry."

How could such a big general's mansion make them cry from hunger? Gu Shaoyu didn't quite believe this answer, so he cast a curious look at the two elders and asked.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, what's going on?"

"Just now, Brother Wen was clamoring for food, so we took him to the small kitchen to check. He took a pepper and took a bite of it while we were not paying attention. Now, they are all crying because of the spiciness."

When he explained the reason, Gu Shaoyu's face turned a little grim.

Although he was not a person who could eat spicy food, he was still a little embarrassed that his son was crying because of the spiciness, so he didn't know how to answer for a moment. However, Danruo quickly brought him some honey water.

"Here, here, this honey can relieve the spiciness, let the young masters drink it quickly."

Du Jingyi hurriedly took over and personally gave the honey water to the "culprit" Wen Ge'er. The little kid's face was red from crying, but after drinking the honey water, he held it and refused to let go. After he gulped it down, the spicy feeling in his mouth was relieved a lot.

He looked at Du Jingyi with a pair of watery eyes and then let out a sob.

"Mom, it's spicy."

When Du Jingyi heard him say it was spicy, he couldn't help laughing, then touched his little head and said.

"Will you dare to take anything to eat next time?"

Poor Wen Ge shook his head. If he had known that the red thing was not sweet but spicy, he would never have brought it back. He snuggled in Du Jingyi's arms and looked at the other two brothers with apologetic expression.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t say the three words “I’m sorry”, so everything could only be expressed through his eyes.

Ming'er was better. He was always tolerant of his naughty brother Wen'er. But Cong'er was not like that. He was a talkative person to begin with, so after he no longer felt so uncomfortable, he started to complain.

"Brother is stupid, give us some spicy food!"

After hearing this, Wen Ge'er, who was already full of grievances, burst out at this moment. He cried loudly, even more sad than before.

Cong Ge'er seemed to be frightened by his reaction, so he wondered for a moment whether he had said something wrong, so he quickly snuggled into Mrs. Du's arms, feeling a little at a loss.

When Tai Ge'er saw this scene, he struggled to jump out of his father's arms, and then walked up to Wen Ge'er, patted him on the shoulder with the confidence of an elder brother, and then spoke like a little adult.

"Don't cry, don't make a fuss, your brother is the good baby."

His words did not comfort Wen Ge'er, but made everyone laugh. When Wen Ge'er saw everyone laughing, although he didn't know what was going on, he also laughed and cried. At this point, Du Jingyi spoke in a deep voice.

"When brothers get along, the most important thing is unity and friendship. Wen Geer got the pepper and thought it was a good thing, so he shared it with you. Who knew it was spicy? Cong Geer shouldn't say his younger brother is stupid, understand?"

Her words made little Congge lower his head in shame. Mrs. Du comforted him softly, and soon Congge calmed down. He walked up to Wenge, kissed him, and then said.

"My brother is not stupid. I like my brother."

After receiving the kiss, Wen Ge returned the kiss twice and smiled sweetly.

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

At this point, the "spicy food eating storm" has come to an end.

Everyone sat around the table, eating the dishes specially prepared by Dan Ruo. There were no festive dishes. Most of them were made with simple ingredients and simple cooking methods. As it was a period of national mourning, alcohol and drinks were not served, but instead water was used.

Compared to Tai Ge'er's previous birthdays, today's birthday was naturally as simple as it could be. Even the servants serving in other courtyards in the general's mansion might not know what day it was today.

However, it did not prevent Tai Ge'er from being happy.

After all, he had received gifts from everyone and was enjoying opening them.

Gu Shaoyu accompanied his sons in the front. The little ones naturally knew that these were birthday gifts for their brother, so they did not try to destroy them, but just jumped around curiously.

Sometimes he wants to look at this, sometimes he wants to look at that, it's very harmonious.

Du Jingyi and the two elders of the Du family sat on the stools and watched, with calm and peaceful smiles on their faces. Then, Du Jingyi rejected the Empress Dowager Guo's intention to appoint them to an idle position in the Purchasing Bureau of the Inner Court.

When he first heard this, Gu Shaoyu couldn't help but look back at Du Jingyi, but his son pulled him to continue, so he could only help his son dismantle things while listening carefully.

Compared to his multitasking, the Du couple were quite surprised.

However, their ideas coincided with Du Jingyi's. Such overwhelming wealth was not suitable for the Du family. It would be safer to live in this half-hidden way.

It was already eye-catching to have a son-in-law with extraordinary abilities in the family. If he also caught the attention of the nobles in the palace, who knows how much envy their Du family would face. Therefore, Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were only shocked at first, but then they became calm as if they had just heard the names of the dishes to be eaten tonight, without any feeling of reluctance or regret at all.

Gu Shaoyu didn't know about this originally, but now he feels that something is not right no matter how he listens to it. However, it is not convenient to speak directly to the Queen Mother about the problem in front of everyone.
