As soon as he finished speaking, people from the Gu family came out.
The leaders were naturally the eldest aunt and the second aunt. They had aged a little in the past few days, with gray hair creeping in, but their figures had not changed much and were still pretty much the same as before.
The good complexion and happy and excited expression on his face can clearly explain his mood at the moment.
"We had people waiting at the city gate for several days but didn't see you. We thought you would be late, but you've arrived just as they came back. Come on, go back and clean up. We'll have a family dinner tonight!"
The eldest aunt said with a smile on her face, and the second aunt next to her also echoed her.
After being away for many years, when Du Jingyi returned to the old house of the Gu family, he did not feel strange. On the contrary, because there were familiar people in the house, he felt that this place had not changed much.
As I walked in, I found that this place was both similar and different from before.
Perhaps because there are so many children, the whole place is filled with childish joy.
It was the first time for the brother and sister Nian Jin and Nian Ling to visit the old house in Gu family, so they were more unfamiliar and curious about it. However, after walking along the way and finding that it was similar to the general's mansion in Cezhou, they relaxed a lot.
When they arrived at Sanshan Hall, they couldn't help but sigh.
“This place is really grand.”
Tai Ge'er smiled when he heard this and immediately introduced them to the two of them.
"This is the place where we entertain guests, discuss matters, eat and gather. You must remember the way here."
"Yes, big brother!"
As soon as they finished speaking, Gu Xiaochun and Su Erlang, Gu Xiaoyun and Huo Silang appeared with their little children.
Standing on both sides of the couple were Wenger and Jingger. They were both older brothers now, especially Wenger, who had begun to grow into an adult.
Wen'er is Jin'er's biological brother, and Jing'er is Zhong'er's biological brother. They haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they greeted each other with red eyes.
Wen'er looks very much like Su Erlang, and also looks like a handsome gentleman. Therefore, compared with the fierce-looking Wen'er and Zhong'er, he seems a little "weak". However, the calmness in his eyes and eyebrows is similar to that of Ming'er, and he is also a good material for reading and writing.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm sure you've grown up. You'll go to the academy with your brother in the near future. You'll definitely have a bright future!"
The "your second brother" that Du Jingyi mentioned is naturally Ming'er. Among the children in the family, he and Wen'er are both of steady temperament, so it is better for them to go to the academy for further studies. Who knows, in the future the Gu family may even produce a top scholar or something like that, which would be a great thing to bring honor to the family.
"Thank you for your praise, aunt. I will work hard!"
Compared to asking about the future of the brother, it was hard to tell what the brother liked at the moment, so for a moment she didn't know how to praise him. Then the second aunt, who noticed something strange, took over the conversation and said.
"Our Jing'er is also a capable man. He has learned a lot of pharmacology from his father and his grandfather Huo's family over the years. He is only a few years old, but he can recognize most of the things in the medicine storehouse."
"Ah? Brother Jing is studying medicine?"
When Du Jingyi heard this, she was full of surprise. There were children in the family who were into literature, martial arts, and business, but the only thing she didn't expect was that there was one who was into medicine.
Jin'er had learned some medical skills from Xia Meng in the past, but it couldn't be considered as a thorough research. But from what the second aunt said, it seemed that she wanted Jing'er to follow this path in the future.
"Yes, this child always goes to the medicine storehouse when he has nothing to do. He finds the smell of herbs comfortable, even though others avoid it. So I thought that when he grows up a little, I would ask his father to take him out more often. The most important thing for a doctor is to see and learn more, so that he can make progress."
Du Jingyi was quite impressed by the second aunt's words, so he said something afterwards.
"Xia Meng once compiled a set of medical books, and now she has achieved some results. They also want to congratulate Tai Ge'er on his marriage. I will write to her and ask her to bring it over for Jing Ge'er to learn from."
"Oh, okay?"
"Why not? Xia Meng originally asked me to distribute this medical book widely to more people. She said that medical practitioners should have a broad mind. If they keep everything secret, wouldn't many people die for nothing?"
After hearing this, the second aunt felt relieved.
Jing Ge'er was as calm as ever, and seemed to be unperturbed by fame or disgrace. He just clasped his fists and said something to Du Jingyi.
"Thank you for your thoughtful arrangements, Auntie."
"Good, good, they are all good kids."
The other children were still very young, so Du Jingyi gave each of them a set of interesting toys, and they were all very happy.
"Where's my sister-in-law? Why can't I see her?"
Du Jingyi walked around but didn't see Chen Yinhua, so he asked.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"She didn't know you would be back today, so she went back to her parents' home a few days ago. You don't know how sweet Tai'er's future wife is. She came to visit us several times recently. Oh, seeing her is like seeing honey. I feel so comfortable in my heart!"
Hearing the aunt praising Chen Hean nonstop, everyone looked at Tai Ge'er with some ridicule, but unfortunately, he stood there motionless, looking very calm.
Wen Ge'er chuckled and complained to Cong Ge'er next to him.
"Look at how serious my brother is. If you don't know him, you might think he is pure and indifferent. I once saw him with a handkerchief in his arms. It was not embroidered with anything, but he treasured it like it was something. It must have been secretly sent to him by his future sister-in-law. Humph, what a hypocrite!"
Congge looked at Wenge with contempt, and then teased him.
"Do you dare to say this to Big Brother? You just talk nonsense to me! Besides, there's nothing embroidered, how do you know it was given by my future sister-in-law? Stop talking nonsense all the time, be careful not to let outsiders hear it and ruin the reputation of my future sister-in-law!"
It is not a good thing to give or receive something in private. Although the two are engaged, the tokens that have not been exchanged openly are always a bit unclear.
That's why Cong Ge'er spoke like that.
Wen Ge immediately swore to the sky.
"I swear, you're the only one I've told this to. If I talk nonsense outside, let me fall into the eighteenth level of hell!"
He sounded a little angrily, so Congge didn't say anything.
However, the commotion was still seen by other people, so they asked them.
"What are you brothers talking about? It's so noisy?"
Wen Ge'er felt a little guilty, and in the end it was Cong Ge'er who came out to rescue him.
