My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

The two siblings now knew what the elders in the family called them, so they saluted and greeted everyone when they came up.

First he faced the eldest aunt, second aunt and fourth aunt, and then walked in front of Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi, with a respectful attitude and dignified manner. The most important thing was that his movements were correct and he spoke seriously.

Nian Jin, Nian Ling has met his uncle and his aunt.

Okay, everyone, get up.

The two of them were young, so they learned to speak Mandarin very quickly, and if they spoke more slowly, they wouldn't even be able to recognize the accent.

This made Du Jingyi very pleased.

I was originally thinking about inviting a gentleman from Qianzhou, but unexpectedly, the children were scrambling to talk to the two siblings every day, and the two of them were taught a lesson by going back and forth.

This is worry-free and fast. For this reason, the fourth aunt also said that it is estimated that within a year or two, the children will be no different from those who were raised at home.

When Gu Jiulang heard this, he was also happy.

The children will definitely not return to that village in the future. Since they want to take root in the general's mansion, it is better to blend in with their brothers and sisters.

Luo Yi can speak much less than the children.

After all, she spends her time either taking care of Gu Jiulang, or competing with Dan Ruo in the kitchen. Therefore, she knows a lot of the names of the dishes, but she is inevitably lacking in communication with people.

Du Jingyi walked to her side and said gently.

Don't worry, with us here, no one will dare to bully you. If there is something you don't understand, just smile and we will handle it.

Cai'er told her what Du Jingyi said, and Luo Yi nodded meekly. She couldn't speak clearly even if she wanted to socialize, so it was better to lean against the big tree obediently.

Then Du Jingyi took out a box, and inside was a longevity lock inlaid with gold and jade. It looked very precious at first glance. It was Du Jingyi's dowry. It took several years to build this thing, just the materials. Been using it for several months.

Luo Yi was a little surprised. She didn't know the value of this longevity lock, but her fourth aunt could see it, so she refused.

This thing is too valuable, you'd better put it away.

What did the fourth aunt say? What should I do with it? Should I wear it for those boys? This style was originally used by my daughter's family. Wouldn't it be a joke for them? Besides, if Nianjin calls me aunt, if I How can I live up to my aunt if I don’t bring something good back?”

Jin'er has a good temper and won't care if he sees this thing, he just said with a smile.

That's right, I got a lot of good things from my aunt. My aunt said that we are a daughter's family that is more valuable than the boy!

When she spoke, everyone laughed.

And Nian Jin, who has been studying etiquette with Jin'er seriously from the beginning, has also made rapid progress, especially in speaking. Although he can't understand many things, he can still greet people with ease.

Thank you Auntie, I like Nian Jin very much.

As for Nian Ling, he is less courageous than his sister, but his eyes are bright and cute, and with Brother Tai and the other five brothers taking care of him, he will not be bullied.

Just as he was talking, Butler He came in from outside with a happy face, and then said to Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi.

General, madam, the guests are almost at the door.

Welcome the guests.

Yes, father.

The one who answered was Tai Geer. He was the eldest of the children and the future father-in-law of the Gu family, so he should shoulder this burden. So he cheered up and followed Gu Shaoyu with him. He went to the front door with his brothers to greet the guests.

Gu Jiulang was pushed out of the courtyard by Gu Shaoyu. Today's banquet guests were divided into men and women, so they were dealing with them. Du Jingyi and others were entertaining the wives and ladies of Cezhou officials in the backyard.

The people who came today are all the people the General's Mansion will have in Cezhou in the future.

Therefore, although their status is not as high as those in An City, they should not be underestimated. The list of banquets was given by Mrs. Shao and Du Jingyi before and after, so everyone who was supposed to come came.

Du Jingyi also invited some merchants who were not on the list.

The merchants here have made great contributions to Cezhou.

Therefore, when facing officials and their families, there is nothing to feel inferior to. On the contrary, some families of small officials in Cezhou are eager to marry into such a wealthy family, so they also come over to compliment them and start laughing. .

Du Jingyi is the biggest today both in terms of status and wealth, so when she showed up with her family members, the ladies and ladies swarmed over her.

I've met the general's wife, I've met the ninth lady.

Luo Yi had never seen such a scene before, and his palms suddenly became sweaty from nervousness.

Du Jingyi smiled and immediately said to the ladies.

The ninth younger sister has just arrived in Cezhou, and she is still a little uncomfortable with it. However, she is quite ingenious. The sweet soup on the table today was cooked by her herself. She said she wanted all the ladies to have a taste of her hometown. It tastes great, and I am very attentive to it.”

After hearing this, the ladies also understood, and then they complimented without leaving any trace.

Mrs. Ninth is so polite, we will definitely give it a try later!

The ladies who came to greet them were all smiling like flowers. Although Luo Yi couldn't quite understand what they were saying, she gradually relaxed.

They got along well on one side, and on the other side, Jin'er took Nianjin to where the official ladies were.

In early July, the General's Mansion hosted a banquet.

Therefore, Jin'er made a few good friends at the banquet, including the young lady from the Shao family, Shao Yuying.

Shao Yuying has just turned ten now and looks very lively and cute. Her family background is the best in Cezhou, and there are no wives and concubines fighting at home, so her life is very comfortable.

Regardless of her appearance, temperament, or talents, she has been carefully cultivated. Although she is not as good as Jin'er in terms of vision and household management, in comparison, she is already the best young lady in Cezhou.

Therefore, most of the people around her were friends with whom she got along well in daily life, including ladies from official families and ladies from businessmen. Four or five of them were similar in age and had cheerful and generous temperaments, so they got along well with each other. .

When Jin'er walked over with Nianjin, Shao Yuying waved to them when she saw them, and then naturally walked forward to greet them.
