Luo Yi and the children did not really understand what this banquet meant. They just thought that outsiders were coming to visit Gu Jiulang, so the family wanted to treat them to a meal and that was all. Therefore, they were happy to help out.

September 6th.

Early in the morning that day, Luo Yi was helping Dan Ruo in the kitchen.

She was a diligent person who could not sit still. She had finally found a place in the mansion where she could make use of her talents, so she would naturally not let it go. Therefore, she did whatever work was available and did not dislike it at all.

During the process, Danruo and Cai'er tried to persuade her several times, but she pretended not to hear them and was immersed in cooking. The two of them saw that it was still early, so they didn't say much.

After Du Jingyi stood up, he and Gu Shaoyu dressed up carefully. When they sat down to have breakfast, they saw a plate of cakes they had never seen before, so they asked in confusion.

"Dan Ruo is researching new dishes again?"

"Madam, you don't know. This is what Madam Nine made early in the morning. She is still in the kitchen and refuses to leave."

"Ah? Still in the kitchen? No, no, she's the star of the show today, and I need to get dressed early if I want to go find her."

Luo Yi's situation was even more "clean" than hers. At least she had her family and money to support her, but Luo Yi had nothing, so facing those ladies would be even more troublesome.

So Du Jingyi thought that clothes make the man, and it was always better to dress appropriately.

Who knew, just as I was about to get up, Shuxiu came in and reported that Luo Yi was here.

"Please invite my ninth brother and sister-in-law in!"

When Luo Yi came in, she was still wearing her old clothes. Although simple, they were very clean and very convenient to use.

As for the beautiful clothes that Du Jingyi prepared for her, they were pretty but too expensive. They would get wrinkled if you moved them at all. Therefore, Luo Yi didn't like them.

Seeing her outfit, Du Jingyi couldn't help but frowned, but for fear of making Luo Yi sad, he quickly restrained his expression and turned to admonish her.

"Ninth brother's sister, you'd better change your clothes quickly. The guests will be here soon. I will introduce them to you in detail and we will get to know each other slowly."

Cai'er told Luo Yi what Du Jingyi said, but Luo Yi shook her head and spoke to Du Jingyi. This was the first time she spoke so much, so Du Jingyi was also confused about what she said.

Who knew that after hearing this, Cai'er looked a little embarrassed.

Even though Du Jingyi couldn't hear it, he could guess part of it, so he asked first.

"Madam Nine doesn't want to see guests?"

Cai'er nodded and then spoke.

"Madam Jiu said that she has a dull personality and cannot speak the language. Even if she meets those ladies, she doesn't know what to say or do. She is afraid of losing face for the mansion, so it is better for her not to show up. She followed Master Jiu back to take care of him, not to be Madam Jiu. Therefore, she does not need to show up in front of people. She would rather help in the kitchen and cook a few more dishes for everyone to taste her cooking skills."

"Ninth brother's wife likes to cook. She can come over and discuss cooking with Dan Ruo more often in the future. In this situation, ninth brother and the children have to be there. If she is not there, it will be a bit inappropriate."

Cai'er repeated Du Jingyi's words to Luo Yi.

After she heard this, she looked a little embarrassed. She was not a brave person to begin with, and now she looked helpless just standing there.

Du Jingyi didn't really want her to be so good at dancing, but this was the first time that their family of four would show up in public. If Luo Yi didn't show up, outsiders might have to make some guesses, so Du Jingyi naturally hoped that Luo Yi could still go.

"Do you really have to go?"

"It would be best."

"If I don't go, will it have a big impact on Master Jiu and the children?"

Du Jingyi glanced at Gu Shaoyu and didn't know how to respond to this. Logically speaking, a couple is one, so her appearance is of course a good thing, but if she doesn't show up, it doesn't seem to have much impact.

Just when she was in trouble, Gu Jiulang got the news and rushed over.

He nodded to the couple first, then looked at Luo Yi and began to communicate in sign language.

"Today's feast was specially prepared for us by my brother and sister-in-law. If you don't go, our family will be missing one person. Don't think that you will embarrass us. You have always been the best!"

These words moved Luo Yi, so she put aside her discomfort and worries, nodded, and then followed Gu Jiulang back to pack and dress up. Seeing this, Du Jingyi also breathed a sigh of relief.

After they left, Gu Shaoyu spoke calmly.

"In fact, if she really doesn't want to show up, there's no need to force her like this."

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

"It's probably because I'm getting older, so I always have some worldly views on things. Ninth sister-in-law can choose not to go, but the ninth lady of the Gu family can't. If today's occasion is a family banquet, then no one would say anything if she didn't attend. But this is a welcoming banquet for Ninth Brother, it's not appropriate for her to be away, and there are two children, and they will get married in the future. If the future in-laws know about Ninth sister-in-law's situation, I'm worried that they will have other ideas."

Her words left Gu Shaoyu silent, but after thinking about it, they did make sense.

The reason why families like them have reached this point today is simply because they have a lot of influence outside and rules inside, so they can keep things under control.

Therefore, Gu Shaoyu naturally supported Du Jingyi's decision.

"Madam is right. Let's eat first. We will be busy later."

"Um."

Du Jingyi didn't eat much to begin with, and after today's little incident, she had even less appetite. But Gu Shaoyu still forced her to eat half a bowl of fish porridge and three or five steamed dumplings, so that she at least had some food in her stomach.

After the couple had a simple breakfast, they got up and went to the front hall to wait. Soon everyone arrived.

On today's scene, everyone in the Gu family was dressed appropriately, the elders were graceful and elegant, and the children were energetic and lively.

But what caught people's eyes the most was Gu Jiulang's family. They were the protagonists of today, so Du Jingyi put a lot of thought into their clothes.

Gu Jiulang and his wife were both wearing royal blue robes, which were delicately embroidered with gourd patterns representing longevity and good fortune, as well as patterns of melons and melons that continued to flourish, which was quite appropriate for the occasion.

Nianjin and Nianling have been raised in the Gu family for a month. They look fairer than when they first arrived, but compared with Jin'er and the others who are spoiled every day, the difference is still noticeable.

Therefore, she wore clothes that did not make her skin look fair today. Instead, she put her mind on being generous and decent. So even though she was not as delicate and pretty as Jin'er, she could still show that they were treated specially.
