Chapter 332: The Moon in the Firmament
A meal, a good meal.
And Sister Xu is also a person who says to leave, tomorrow and tomorrow are a little dark, but she still wants to go out, so the fourth aunt called her three nieces and Ping'er to go outside together.
As for Xing Zhao's side, the news was also sent, just waiting for him to meet him.
Old Madam Gu had something to say to Sister Chen, so Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi took Brother Tai to sit down and left.
In the Qiude Courtyard, Old Madam Gu looked at the few strands of white silk hidden under Sister Chen's black hair distressedly, and said with a sigh.
"If you hadn't had to go to your house to propose, you would still be able to enjoy yourself even if you don't get married, look, what is this difficult to become?"
Sister Chen's gray hair was born early, which completely happened when she lost her husband and child.
For a person with a firm heart like her, it is the most difficult to change her mind if she recognizes it, so even if the Gu family has been gone for eight or nine years, she still lives alone.
It's just that she was afraid that Old Madam Gu would be sad, so she dyed her hair a little before she came, but she didn't expect to be discovered, so she comforted her and said.
"Grandmother also knows that I like to read idle books, so this hair is probably tired from reading, it's okay, just dye it."
"Hey, it was for your own good, so I didn't want to stay at all. But now that I see that you and Yuying (Sister Xu) are reluctant to marry, I regret it a little, it is better to come back and live together with us, than to wander outside. ”
Hearing Mrs. Gu's words, Sister Chen was both happy and moved.
It's just that she has always been moody and invisible, and she is used to it, so even if her heart is already surging, her face is still calm.
"It's not too late to come back now, don't you see that Shaoyu's daughter-in-law gave me a good excuse? Mr. Enlightenment, my granddaughter-in-law is happy to do this. ”
In front of others, Sister Chen would humbly call her granddaughter, but in front of Mrs. Gu and the eldest aunt, she still called herself as her granddaughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, as if she had never left the Gu family.
Hearing her say this, Old Madam Gu also held her hand tightly and said.
"Don't want to find another one? You're still young. ”
"I don't want to, I've seen the moon in the sky, and I can't hold other stars in my heart, and my grandparents have persuaded me twice, but they all know what I think in my heart, so they don't say anything else."
Old Madam Gu sighed, happy that her relationship with her grandson was so firm, and sad that she would have to live alone from now on.
"If you really decide not to marry again, do you want to come back? My wife personally went to Chen's house to invite you back in a dignified manner, you are still the eldest daughter-in-law of the head of this family, and you will also enjoy the incense of the Gu family with Dalang in the future. ”
Hearing this, Sister Chen, who has always been calm, quickly burst into tears in her eyes, and then nodded solemnly and said with a little crying.
"My granddaughter-in-law is willing, willing."
Then she finally found an outlet for her emotions and cried silently on Old Madam Gu's knees, tears soaked Old Madam Gu's dress, but she didn't know it at all, she stroked Sister Chen's hair in distress, and then said.
"Okay, come back, come back Grandmother loves you, in the future, I will inherit one from your mother-in-law's newly recognized sister-in-law's room, so as to inherit the future of you and Dalang."
Who knows, Sister Chen wiped her tears when she heard this, shook her head and said.
"The child is the pain of my life, and my granddaughter-in-law is unwilling to let others take away my thoughts about him, so my grandmother's kindness and granddaughter-in-law will not accept it, whether they accept this incense from me and my uncle, they are all the children of our Gu family, and the granddaughter-in-law will treat everyone equally."
Seeing this, Old Madam Gu no longer insisted.
The lights in the courtyard are flickering, revealing a little loneliness, but the room is overflowing with many warm veins that used to be there, but then disappeared.
Lovesick and sorrowful.
The warmth in Qiudeyuan is between grandparents and grandchildren, and the warmth in Qiwu courtyard is a family of three.
"Has the general set a date for his departure?"
"Almost, in early February, I took Luo Yuan and them back first, and it is estimated that they will be able to return to Sui'an City in ten days and a half months, and then wait for Xiaoba's relatives, and after the end, I will arrange for someone to send my parents-in-law and sister-in-law over."
"Is the general going to Cezhou?"
"Well, you can't delay, you can come and go, to say the least, it's three or two months, it's better to start early."
Seeing this, Du Jingyi didn't say anything more.
In a few months, her husband had to go back and forth between the three places, and she was naturally distressed, but she couldn't stop him because of her distress and reluctance, after all, his identity was here, and he should do it, so he couldn't delay it.
"Then the general must be careful on the road, I have asked Dan Ruo to make a batch of clothes and put them in the Xitang Courtyard, the general remembers to pick them up, even if you run all the way, you have to pay more attention, you know?"
"Madame is just careful, and her husband didn't even know that you were still prepared."
Du Jingyi smiled, and then handed him a key.
"I thought that the concubine would go back with the general, so the key was not left, and now since you are just going back alone, then take it, this is the key to the door lock of my small warehouse, and the things in the south are all prepared for Xue Niang, and the list is placed in the bedside table where we sleep, and the general will arrange it by the sister-in-law."
The key is big and small, Gu Shaoyu said jokingly after taking it.
"Madame is not afraid that I will take the things in your treasury and abscond with the money? Aren't you rich? ”
Du Jingyi saw that he was joking, so he naturally wanted to talk back, so he said something with a smile.
"How big is the treasury, and the general is so sure that all the money of the concubine is in it? Don't want to open your eyes to other places? ”
Thinking of the shops and Zhuangzi that stopped and went with the Du family's industry in Ancheng, Gu Shaoyu straightened his voice and said.
"It's not a greedy person for a husband, it's just a little, and I can't move my legs when I look at my wife's appearance, so I'm still guarding my wife to live, that is, I won't be an official in the court in the future, and I can live happily if I think about it, right?"
Then he pointed to Brother Tai who was playing, and added with a smile.
"As for this kid, I don't have to worry about Mrs., I can't go hungry anyway, so Mrs. puts all her mind on her husband, how about it?"
