Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 158 Family Gathering

"I really forgot in a hurry. Your elder sister had some abdominal pain last night. She didn't give birth after tossing for several hours. I was so anxious that I forgot everything. Today we should go to the general's mansion to congratulate you." That's right, I let you come here."

This is the rule of the Daxing Dynasty. On the auspicious day of housewarming, all relatives in the family will come to congratulate.

As the name suggests, warm house.

However, their move this time is a bit special. There was such a big fire in the Duke's mansion, and the two sides were quite tearing each other up. How could they still come to the house?

So this morning, after Du Jingyi accepted the congratulatory gift sent by Mrs. Wei, she didn't think about it anymore.

Anyway, the bustle in the General's Mansion does not depend on the relatives in the Duke's Mansion, so there is no rush for this moment.

"Mother, don't worry, will there be a time when you can't congratulate me? Cousin Zhao wrote that they should arrive in ten days or so. I discussed with the general to hold a housewarming banquet before the New Year's Eve. When the time comes, I will invite my parents and Mrs. He Bofu and Aunt He to sit down."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your post."

Mrs. Du had known about Mrs. Gu's coming for a long time, so she was not surprised.

And when they were in Jinling City in those few years, they had heard a little about this young lady from the Gongsun family, the wife of the head of the Gu family, but they had never seen it.

So such a good opportunity, when the day comes, I will definitely meet him once or twice.

Du Jingyi was also very curious about this grandmother who had never met before, so she said with a smile.

"Daughter knows, when the auspicious day is determined, let Cherry send the post."

The mother and daughter were talking, and the other servants were not idle.

Let's start to decorate. Today's Du's house is the most tidy, so it's natural to celebrate it.

Ever since, everyone had a smile on their faces, happily doing what they were doing.

"Mother, have you decided on the child's name? You can't keep calling your nephews that way, right?"

Du Jingyi was a little curious, but Mrs. Du couldn't help talking about something interesting when she saw this.

"Don't mention it, it's not that you can't think of it, it's because you think too much and you can't choose. The master thought about three or four, your uncle He thought about three or four, your sister and brother-in-law thought about three or four, and now I'm having a headache. , how do you choose among the dozen or so names?"

Then added another sentence.

"They all have good meanings and are catchy."

Seeing this, Du Jingyi replied calmly.

"It's simple, write it down and let him pick it up. Anyway, he will use the name in the end, so choose the one that suits you best."

Mrs. Du was a little bit dumbfounded.

"You child, if we were perfunctory to you when we were young, I'm afraid your name is not Du Jingyi, but Du Jingxiao now."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi also laughed.

Smiling and laughing, Mrs. Du suddenly sighed.

Stretching out his hand to touch the hair on Du Jingyi's ear temples, he said with a sad face.

"Xiangxiang now has a son by her side, and I feel relieved as a mother, and this time, seeing that the elders of the He family and your brother-in-law have put all their heart into her, I think they will live comfortably in the future."

"But you are still pregnant, and there are so many things happening in the Duke's mansion! There is no elder to take care of you. If Mrs. Wei persuades the Duke to make trouble for you, I'm afraid of you as a mother." Not having a good time."

The news that Grandpa Guo was assassinated in the street has long spread throughout the streets and alleys of Suian City.

The news of the Du family has always been sensitive, so they naturally knew about it.

It's just that the inner world is not very clear.

Then I heard that there was a fire in the Duke's Mansion, and everyone in Dongyuan moved to the General's Mansion overnight.

When the two heard the news, they were almost frightened, and immediately went to visit their daughter and son-in-law. Who knew it was their own idea.

Mrs. Du has never been a kind and soft person, so she understands the use of extraordinary means in extraordinary times.

The only thing that worried her was that before they had no children, they made such a fuss. If they really waited for the child to fall to the ground, more troubles would come one after another.

Daughter and son-in-law are better, they are all people who can protect themselves.

But a newborn child could be manipulated and harmed casually, and Mrs. Du was very worried about this.

So he spoke up.

"The wet nurse and the midwife have to be found in advance. The family background must be clean, and the person must be neat. How about this? How about I look for it for you, and now you are half a year away from your birth, so I can find one no matter what. Appropriate."

"Okay, with my mother guarding the gate, I'm not afraid anymore."

After finishing speaking, Du Jingyi nestled in Madam Du's arms again like when she was a child, feeling her mother's love and care, her heart was as sweet as eating honey.

"By the way, I heard that Sanfang also moved out?"

"Well, I live in the house on Osmanthus Lane. The third sister-in-law wanted to go to the General's Mansion a few days ago, but she was dismissed by Butler He."

Now is the time for her to take good care of her body, so the whole of the General's Mansion is unanimous to the outside world, and no one will disturb her.

Not to mention that it was San Lang's wife who came, even if the third old lady came to the door in person, the result was the same.

The General's Mansion doesn't intend to recognize relatives who show prestige and love to show off their abilities and are greedy for money.

Fortunately, San Lang's daughter-in-law is not a disregard for her own face, so she hasn't bothered her since then.

"Then I have to remind you, that Saburo of their family wanted to do some business to make a little money, but somehow he managed to get to your cousin, and now he is being tricked around. If you If you want to help, just remind me, if you don’t want to help, I didn’t say it.”

Du Jingyi was a little surprised.

"What did Du Jingxian do?"

"By taking advantage of the heavy snow this year, I raised some funds and said that I would go to the north and sell some things to the south. It's just a matter of making a difference, but he doesn't think that such a thing can make money. It was the first move, our bodyguard bureau is about to transport things to Jinling City, he only thinks about going to the Northland now, it’s no wonder that he lost all his money.”

In her heart, Mrs. Du really looked down on this nephew, and it was really tiresome to be so stupid to do a good business like this.

"What name is he playing to raise money?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Mrs. Du's eyes.

"Ever since he was found selling counterfeit medicines under the guise of our family last time, he has been severely dealt with by the master in front of all the merchants, so he can't stand in the merchants of Suian City now."

"This time he found the youngest son of Jin Shangshu's family as a guarantor, so he absorbed a lot of money from rich and noble men. It's not too much, one person is hundreds or thousands of taels. It is said that it is almost [-]. .”

One hundred thousand, say more or less, say less.
