My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

For two years, someone in the fifth house died in the first month of the year. This was not a good sign, but the people in the fifth house didn't pay much attention to it, and people outside couldn't say anything.

But no one knew that Mrs. Guo, who had been buried with a scribble, was dug up again while the soil was still fresh, and disappeared into the vast night.

It seems to indicate that this year will be another uneventful year.

Jinling City, Gu family.

Throughout the first month of the first month, we were in a state of welcoming them every day. Several aunts took the children to visit this relative and that relative. They were very unhappy.

Because Du Jingyi cherished the days when she could still be reunited with her husband, she didn't participate much. She spent most of her time in Qiwu Courtyard, living an ordinary and comfortable life with her husband and son Tai Geer.

On this day, as soon as the couple put Brother Tai to sleep, they saw Cherry walking in quietly from outside, and then she spoke in a lowered voice.

General, young madam, the old madam has invited me. She said she has a distinguished guest at home.

Those who came these days were all very close to the Gu family, but they had never been called distinguished guests. Du Jingyi was very curious as to what kind of people would be called distinguished guests.

As a result, Gu Shaoyu thought about it and said excitedly.

It's probably the eldest cousin and the fourth cousin who are here.

Cousin?

Suddenly Du Jingyi remembered what her fourth aunt had said to her before. The Gu family originally had four cousins, and the eldest cousin had a miscarriage due to excessive sadness, so she was somewhat curious and respectful towards these cousins. .

So he stood up and spoke in a low voice.

General, let's go and meet him quickly. Don't keep your cousins ​​​​waiting.

Gu Shaoyu nodded, and then asked Yingying and the wet nurse waiting outside the door to keep an eye on Brother Tai, who was already sleeping soundly. The two of them went there.

In Qiude Courtyard, as soon as the couple entered the door, they saw that everyone's eyes were red, especially Mrs. Gu and the eldest aunt, who were crying so hard that they felt sad.

Thinking about it, he was thinking about the child that his eldest cousin had once carried in his womb. If he could have been born safely, he would be seven or eight years old now, which is really a pity.

My grandson (granddaughter-in-law) has met his grandmother, his aunts, his aunts, Sister Chen, and Sister Xu.

The reason why they are called Ajie is because Mrs. Gu has strictly ordered that since the four cousins ​​​​have left the Gu family, they can no longer be treated by the previous titles. It is better to follow their surnames and call them Ajie. Show respect.

Hearing such a title, Du Jingyi also knew Mrs. Gu's intentions, so she also respected the two former cousins-in-law very much, just like the eldest sister-in-law in the family.

Get up, get up, come and take a look. Your two sisters haven't been back for several years. I think they are looking much better. I think the world outside is vast and they are living a comfortable life.

Mrs. Gu sincerely wished them well and didn't want them to hang themselves in the Gu family at such a young age, so she decided to let them all leave at all costs.

Even for the two second cousins ​​​​and third cousins ​​​​who had remarried, Mrs. Gu was happy from the bottom of her heart that they could meet their sweethearts again, and privately gave them 5,000 taels of silver notes and two shops as dowries. .

Therefore, when we occasionally meet at a banquet in Jinling City, we don't shy away from it, and we treat her as her mother's family.

When the two sisters-in-law saw Gu Shaoyu, they also said with nostalgia on their faces.

The little brat who followed the old marshal back then is now thirty. Life really flies by.

The person who said this was the eldest cousin. She was the eldest among Gu Shaoyu's generation and was now in her thirties.

She was born with a delicate appearance, but her charm was extraordinary.

Especially those pair of discerning eyes. Just a gentle glance at Du Jingyi made Du Jingyi have some thoughts of not daring to make mistakes. With such ability, if she is still in the Gu family, the Gu family will probably get worse in the future. The hair is so valuable.

And this Sister Chen, the former eldest cousin, was indeed a figure in Jinling City.

The Chen family has been a family of sages for generations, so she has been reading poetry and books since she was a child, and she is very talented. After completing her studies, she taught and educated people in her own academy for seven or eight years.

Ever since she was born, people have been coming to propose marriage.

It's a pity that she declined them all. The reason was that she didn't want to wrong herself, and she didn't want to sit in the one-third of an acre of the back house and do things to serve her husband, so she became an older woman after coming and going.

She was over 20 years old and had no whereabouts. The Chen family once thought that this girl was going to die alone, but who knew that she met the eldest son of the Gu family and had such a fate.

When Marshal Gu and Mrs. Gu heard that their eldest grandson had taken a liking to this young lady from the Chen family, they came to propose marriage without saying a word. They didn't care at all what outsiders said, they just felt that they had found a treasure.

If such a determined woman could become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, it would be an honor for the Gu family, and it would also be the key to the prosperity of the family in the future.

Therefore, the two got married late and had children late. They became parents for the first time in their twenties. Who knew that such a good thing could not be saved, and in the end it became everyone's heartache.

Among Gu Shaoyu's family members, the first one he admired was his grandfather, Marshal Gu, and the second one was his former eldest cousin.

Therefore, after hearing her elder-like tone, I didn't feel aggrieved at all and said with a smile.

Sister, you're right. I still remember that I was following you to ask you to sell a pair of calligraphy treasures outside for money. Who knew you were so stingy! Let alone the calligraphy treasures, you didn't even have a single character. Willing to give.”

Gu Shaoyu's words suddenly reminded everyone of many past events.

Sister Chen's calligraphy is very valuable outside. Sometimes when their cousins ​​are short of money, they will come and beg Sister Chen to write a copy and sell it outside to make money, so that they can live a more comfortable life.

It's a pity that after she discovered such a thing, she gathered all her brothers together, scolded them a lot, and gave them twenty ring feet each, saying that we should share blessings and share hardships. when.

It hurt so much that several people screamed. After all, they were also husbands, so they naturally knew where to hit the most pain!

You brat, I know you are thinking about it. Okay, for the sake of your wife and son, I specially sent you a painting and calligraphy this time. Just keep it and take a look. If I know you are going to Sell ​​it for money, let’s see how I deal with you!”

Although Sister Chen and Gu Shaoyu are peers, they get along more like an elder nurturing a younger one.
