On the ninth day after Tai Ge'er's marriage, the imperial edict from the palace arrived.
Everyone was very happy to see that he had become the legitimate "Father-in-law of the Gu Family", and then the whole family's attention was focused on the marriage of Jin'er and Nianjin.
As the new sister-in-law, Chen Hean also started to worry about the elders in the family.
She is straightforward, generous, sweet-spoken and tolerant, so no one in the Gu family is dissatisfied with her.
In the yard, Du Jingyi was accompanying Gu Shaoyu to take medicine.
What could have been suffocated in one breath now had to be fed with a spoon. Everyone could see that Gu Shaoyu did it on purpose, but Du Jingyi, the "servant", didn't feel tired at all, so the others could only cover their mouths, shake their heads, and leave with a snicker.
"General, I have tasted this medicine, it is bitter and numbing. Are you sure you still want to feed me spoonful by spoonful?"
"Madam, are your hands sore?"
“It’s not sour.”
"Then you feed it. What you feed is always much sweeter."
Du Jingyi looked at her husband in front of her somewhat helplessly. It was really hard for her to get used to seeing him acting like a spoiled child at such an old age. But the spoon in her hand never stopped for a moment.
Don't stop until the medicine bowl is empty.
"After these two busy months, we will return to Cezhou. I have also submitted my resignation letter. I guess the news should have spread before we even get to Cezhou. However, the military has gotten used to Wen Ge'er taking over, so there won't be any fuss. Is there anywhere you want to go? I'll go with you."
When he heard this, Du Jingyi's eyes lit up.
But then I thought, my son is only in his teens and I should still watch him practice. Besides, there are so many children in the family and none of them have started a family yet, so I gave up the idea.
"Let's wait another two years. There are more than a dozen children, and only one has been married. Our work is not yet complete. It would be inappropriate to walk away now."
"Eldest Aunt and the others just don't have any place to show their talents. If we leave all these things to them, they will definitely do a good job. Besides, isn't it time for our carefully selected daughter-in-law Tai to take charge? It would be a good thing to let them have more experience."
Hearing Gu Shaoyu say this, Du Jingyi was also somewhat moved.
"So, General, is there any place you want to go?"
"I want to go overseas with the Su family. I've been traveling around this land through wind and rain for most of my life, and I want to see the outside world. What about you?"
Du Jingyi's eyes lit up. She had actually walked and seen almost all of the territory of the Daxing Dynasty. She had been thinking about going to the frontier for a look when she had a chance. Now it would be nice to take this opportunity to go out to sea.
So I just said it with a smile.
"Okay, then the general must get well. We will be on the ship for at least a few months. If you get dizzy, it will be troublesome."
"Don't worry, this little thing won't be a problem for me, your husband."
When Gu Shaoyu said this, she believed it to be true. But who knew that after they really went out to sea, this general on the road stopped his actions and was often laughed at by Du Jingyi for this!
"It will take us one to two years to go out to sea and back. By the time we come back, the children will be almost married, so we can't delay them."
"Yes, the general is right. By then, we may all be grandparents. To be honest, I really don't know what it will be like to have the joy of playing with grandchildren. I am very curious."
"With so many children, one for each family would be enough to give you a headache."
After hearing this, Du Jingyi thought it made sense, so he nodded and started talking.
"Then let's take a look around during this trip. If there are any ways to make money, don't miss them. Otherwise, you won't be able to give your grandchildren any toys. That would make me lose face."
Her serious expression made Gu Shaoyu laugh as well.
"Madam has really been loving money for decades."
"As a merchant's daughter, I should live up to this title."
"Then how are you going to keep your title as the General's Wife?"
Du Jingyi didn't embarrass himself at all and spoke calmly.
"I married a general and gave birth to several generals. If one of my grandchildren is promising, I can have two more general grandchildren. Isn't this enough to make me famous?"
Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu laughed out loud, which was rare for him.
Although it hurt a little to pull the wound, he felt that this was a rare relaxing moment in his life.
When Tai Ge'er and his wife, who had come to pay their respects, heard the voice, they thought about it and decided not to go in. When they left, Tai Ge'er, for the first time, took Chen He'an's hand.
This still scared Chen Hean, and he spoke quickly.
"Master, there are others."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"What are you afraid of? If our marriage is not as sweet as our parents', wouldn't people think this marriage is inappropriate?"
Chen Hean thought about it and felt that there was some perverse logic in this statement.
So she didn't refuse, but when others saw her, she couldn't help blushing, completely lacking the "arrogance" she had when she was at her parents' home.
When the fragrance of osmanthus filled the Jinling City, Jin'er and Nianjin both got married.
The same ten miles of red wedding dresses, the same boundless wealth and splendor, made the people in the entire Jinling city feel more awe and envy for the Gu family, the "old family".
So much so that when Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi went out to sea with Su Erlang's family in September, they could still hear people talking about these three marriages.
However, it was different from what Du Jingyi heard in the teahouse before. This time, everyone was saying that the children of the Gu family were truly united as one.
This made Du Jingyi's worries completely dissipate in the wind and rain.
The dew in late autumn gradually becomes heavier.
Pedestrians have also relieved themselves from the hot summer and are making preparations for the coming winter.
When the autumn harvest was basically over, the couple followed the Su family's boat out to sea. They left quietly, and apart from the people at home, there was no other sound of farewell.
Tai Ge'er stood at the front of the dock. As he saw the ship getting farther and farther away, he gradually lowered his waving hand.
When I turned around and saw my elders and brothers and sisters, I suddenly felt that the burden on my shoulders had become heavier.
Fortunately, Chen Hean next to him squeezed his hand gently and smiled, which made Tai Ge feel much better.
What are you afraid of? If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth.
As long as the Gu family's roots remain, they, the Gu family, will live on this land from generation to generation.
From babbling to adulthood.
From getting married and having children, to serving Daxing. (End of this chapter)
