After telling Madam Bian and her daughter where they were going, Brother Tai ran over. Although he was a little curious, he didn't ask questions in person. Instead, he spoke to Du Jingyi.

"Mother, when will we have dinner? I see that my great-grandmother is a little tired. I'm afraid we should have dinner early so that they can rest early."

His words were so heartwarming that even Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun were deeply moved.

"Sister-in-law is really good at raising children. Look at how sensible Brother Tai is. We are all ashamed of ourselves."

Hearing his two aunts praising him, Tai Ge'er smiled and said.

"Before my father left Sui'an City, he told me that I was the pillar of the family, so I naturally had to take good care of my mother and brothers. Now that a large family has come, Brother Tai has to be careful too. I can't let you feel like no one is taking care of you when you come home."

Not only the Gu Xiaochun sisters, but even Du Jingyi felt a little proud after hearing what he said, so he taught him how to handle the matter.

"If you want to ask about matters in the front hall or outside, you can ask Butler He. As for matters concerning the servants in the back house and the kitchen, you can ask Madam Dou. They are both indispensable for the family's affairs, so if you ask them carefully, you will know whether you can have your meal or not."

"Okay, son, I understand. I'll go right away!"

Then, he went to question Madam Dou like a little adult.

Seeing that he had to start dealing with things at this age, the Gu Xiaochun sisters couldn't help but say something.

"Sister-in-law is really good at teaching children. We still have a lot to learn."

Du Jingyi said modestly.

"Brother Tai will have a heavy burden in the future, so of course he has to take care of everything. If he learns earlier, he will be able to take care of his brothers and sisters more in the future. You see, there are so many children in this room, you can't just do whatever you want."

The two sisters smiled and then looked at the children.

With the addition of the three brothers, the younger brothers danced with excitement when they saw them, calling them "brother" in a sweet voice.

Not long after Tai Ge'er went to ask Nanny Dou, the banquet started at home.

There were many children, and the younger ones still needed a wet nurse to take care of them, so three tables of people were seated at once. This was when not all the people were present. If they all came back, we would definitely need four or five tables as my aunt said.

There had never been so many people in the general's mansion since they moved in, so the meal was a great joy.

These are children who have been brought up with discipline, so they are well-mannered when eating, and they don't run around or talk nonsense.

However, the aunt liked Taige'er more and more when she saw his straight back.

This meal was prepared carefully by Danruo, so there were dishes that everyone liked, as well as those that Great Aunt and the others had never seen before.

"These are dishes from Shu and the North. Xia Meng told Dan Ruo to copy them after eating them outside. She didn't feel wronged at all. When she came back from Quanzhou, she had already covered most of the land of the Daxing Dynasty."

Logically speaking, Aunt Xing should be worried about her daughter-in-law being so "unruly", but she looked very proud and said.

"After we get married, if Zhao'er wants to stay in Sui'an City, then I will accompany the young couple. If not, then I will travel around with my wife. I am old, but I have not been to as many places as she has. Well, no, I won't have the chance to show off in front of my grandchildren in the future."

Her idea was quite unique, but the Gu family was used to it.

Doctor Xia also has the same habit of not liking to stay at home and prefers to travel around. They are very envious of him on a daily basis, so they don't think there is anything strange about it.

"By the way, has Doctor Xia sent any letter? When will he be back?"

"According to Mr. Leng's previous schedule, he should be back in the fall."

After hearing what Du Jingyi said, the eldest aunt and the second aunt were also eager to try, and said to Aunt Xing.

"Zhao'er's marriage is a great event. You may not be able to handle it alone. If there is anything, just let me know and we can all handle it together. We are both the husband's family and the wife's family, so we have to worry about it."

Aunt Xing was not afraid of bothering others and immediately replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Don't you know who I am? I will never trouble myself if I can trouble you!"

"You rascal! You're going to be a mother-in-law, but you still act like a child. You keep saying that Zhao'er is irrelevant. Look at you, aren't you just imitating others?"

Seeing this, Aunt Xing waved her hand and answered immediately.

"No, no, when I was young, I was a famous beauty in Jinling City. Zhao'er is more or less like his father, but he is not as stunningly beautiful as me."

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

She said this without blushing or getting nervous, but instead made her eldest aunt so amused that she almost reached out to hit her. Even her second aunt, who seldom spoke, joined in the conversation.

"Beautiful Lady Gu, can we have a good meal now? You can't let us starve while looking at your fading beauty? We are not his uncles, and we can't be so disgusted after looking at you for so many years."

It was rare to hear her joking, so Aunt Xing pretended to be aggrieved and spoke.

"Okay, okay, they say that time makes people grow old, and beauty will also fade. Eat first, and I will talk to you later."

In a lively atmosphere, everyone finished their first meal in Sui'an City.

The spring colors gradually began to creep over the garden of the general's mansion, and outside, everything looked new. Passers-by slowly took off their thick cotton coats and changed into slightly thinner clothes. As they kept shouting, March arrived.

Aunt Xing has been very busy these days, and the first thing she has to do is to choose a yard.

The Du family was very quick and found more than a dozen places in half a month. Aunt Xing went to see and choose one by one, and finally she was a little hesitant between two houses.

In Xitang Courtyard, she took the maps of the two places and went to talk to Du Jingyi.

"I like both houses, but I can't decide. Can you help me see which one is more suitable?"

Du Jingyi was not good at choosing houses, but he had some experience in decorating houses, so after looking at the drawings carefully, he pointed to the house on the left and said.

"Aunt, I think this is a good idea. There are small gardens on both sides of the main courtyard. Let's have someone rearrange it and merge the small gardens into the courtyards on the left and right sides. That means we will have private gardens in all three places. It will be more convenient. What do you think?"

"Oh, why didn't I think of that? What a good idea! Okay, let's choose this one. You have a sharp eye. The one you picked is the most expensive among all the courtyards!"
