Step-room, she is soft and charming

When Li Zhu heard the news, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly adjusted.

"I know this, and I will definitely take good care of the fourth lady!"

After giving instructions to Li Zhu, Du Jingyi chatted with the fourth aunt for a while, and then she asked.

"Where are Brother Tai's brothers? I want to see them. I won't see them for a few days. They haven't set off yet, so it's weird."

"We went to the garden to play. It was probably Mu Xiao who would be coaxing the children, so they followed him around every day, especially Brother Tai, who was particularly close to him."

Hearing this, the fourth aunt said something more.

"Since Brother Tai likes it, why not stay in the house? It would also be a good thing to be a personal guard for Brother Tai."

Seeing this, Du Jingyi waved his hand and then said.

"With Young General Mu's ability, it would be a bit humiliating to only serve as a guard for Brother Tai. The general also said that when Young General Mu becomes more mature, he will be promoted to someone more important, so these days he is just recuperating in the mansion. Something closer to the kids.”

"I see, let's take another look. Brother Tai is still young, so we have to look for someone close to him."

"That's what I meant too."

The two talked for a while, and the fourth aunt left for the garden. She couldn't bear to leave without seeing a few children before leaving.

Before leaving, there are always various things to deal with.

Du Jingyi just sent away his fourth aunt here. A few days later, Gu Xiaolang and his third aunt also came over.

Although he was married now, once Yan Sanlang's leave was sold out, he basically took root in the army and never came back, so Gu Xiaolang moved back to his parents' house, which was no different from before.

"Third Aunt, Sister Lang."

"Sister-in-law."

After Yingtao served tea to the three of them, she stood aside and Gu Xiaolang spoke first.

"The tea in sister-in-law's house is going to be extra delicious. When you return to Sui'an City, I don't know where to go to drink such tea."

"This is not simple. I'll just leave some for you. Tell Yingying what you like to drink and she will pick it up for you and send it over."

"Tea is good, but the craftsmanship of the tea maker is better. Any tea that passes through Cherry's hands must be extra moist. I can't let my sister-in-law keep the Cherry, right?"

When Du Jingyi heard this, he pretended to sigh.

"Look, this married girl is different. She thinks about taking away the good things from her parents' family all day long. She even doesn't let go of the maids around me. Zhen Zhen, Third Aunt, why don't you talk about her?"

Only those close to her would make such a joke, so the third aunt and Gu Xiaolang also heard Du Jingyi's intentions and took her words.

"She just begged for tea at your place. She didn't know how many good things she moved at my place. Last time, she said that my uncle was very tired from training every day, so he even took away the good stuff I just got. , I said I wanted to make summer clothes for my uncle, so I was complaining endlessly."

After hearing this, Gu Xiaolang didn't feel embarrassed and instead said with a smile.

"My mother and sister-in-law love me so much, don't I feel confident?"

With one sentence, everyone present laughed. Du Jingyi also knew that she must have something to say, so he continued to ask through these words.

"Tell me, what do you fancy this time?" Gu Xiaolang said bluntly without being polite.

"I'm looking at my sister-in-law's return ship. My mother-in-law, eldest sister-in-law, and fourth brother are also going north. They are coming by land this time. It will take them a few months to get back. But I think if my sister-in-law If we can take them with us here, we will be there in about ten days."

"But it's okay if it's inconvenient. I just wanted to ask you first and didn't mention it to them."

When Du Jingyi heard this, he actually didn't object.

The Su family's boat was so big and spacious, and it was just a matter of carrying a few more people along. Since they were protected along the way, it was naturally safer, so she didn't find it strange that Gu Xiaolang said this.

After thinking for a moment he said.

"Okay, we are scheduled to leave in seven days. You can take them for a leisurely stroll during these days. We will leave at the end of the month. We estimate that we will be able to reach Sui'an City in mid-March, so it won't be a delay."

Gu Xiaolang smiled broadly when he saw this, and he held Du Jingyi's hand and thanked him.

After they finished talking about the important things, they naturally left immediately. After they left, Du Jingyi told Ying Tao.

"Go tell the steward of the Su family and let him take a look and arrange for two more rooms."

"Yes, ma'am."

Du Jingyi is also happy to have good relations with the Earl's Mansion.

Although they had some disagreements with the Earl's Mansion because of Gu Xiaolang's matter in the past, now that they are getting married, they still have to get along better so that they can help each other in the future.

If there is still a little selfishness, it is that Du Jingyi has fallen in love with the wife of the Vice Minister's mother-in-law. He heard that her niece is a good one, and Ping'er's marriage has not yet been settled. If he can find the Li family to help him, then in the future The Duke's Mansion can only hold on.

However, these are still things that have disappeared, and it is inconvenient for her to open her mouth to talk about it, otherwise she would be extremely disappointed if she asked her sister-in-law to get a sweet deal but failed in the end.

Seven days passed by in a flash, and the dock in Jinling City was filled with people seeing him off.

The luggage was put on the ship two days ago. When they arrived, there were only a dozen boxes, but when they left, they turned into dozens or hundreds of boxes. There were really more children, more things, and more people to serve. .

The people and things in the Earl's Mansion were fine. Although there were four or five more boxes, they were nothing compared to Du Jingyi and the others' luggage.

The Gu family, the Su family, and the Xing family are all here, and everyone's eyes are a little red. They don't know when they will see each other again. Unlike them, Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi's home is in Sui'an City after all.

Therefore, they also know in their hearts that in the future they will gather less and stay apart more often.

"You must be careful. You have four children by yourself and have to take care of such a big family. You know it will take a lot of work, so take care of yourself carefully. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, auntie, don't you know what my temper is like? I'm always lazy, and I will never treat myself badly. I'm still waiting to celebrate your sixtieth birthday, right?"

The eldest aunt is the oldest and is now in her 50s. Her sixtieth birthday is indeed only a few years away. With such hope, everyone will naturally feel more comfortable.

"Okay, when the time comes, I want to see what these little monkeys are like."

Sending you thousands of miles, you have to say goodbye in the end.

After boarding the Su family's boat, Du Jingyi and the others stood on the bow and waved to the people on the shore, saying goodbye to their relatives in Jinling City. They would eventually go north. (End of chapter)
