Chapter 641: Longevity Lock
The two siblings now knew what the elders in the family were called, so they came up and saluted everyone.
first faced the eldest aunt, the second aunt and the fourth aunt, and then walked in front of Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi, with a respectful attitude, dignified demeanor, and the most important thing is that the action is not wrong at all, and he said seriously.
"Nian Jin, Nian Ling has seen my uncle and aunt."
"Okay, get up."
The two of them were young, so they learned to speak very quickly, and if they spoke more slowly, they could not even make out their accents.
This made Du Jingyi very pleased.
I was thinking about whether to invite a gentleman from Qianzhou, but I didn't expect the children to take their sister and brother to talk every day, and they went back and forth to teach the two.
This is worry-free and fast, so the fourth aunt also said that it is estimated that it will not take a year or two, and the children will be no different from those raised at home since childhood.
When Gu Jiulang heard this, he was also happy in his heart.
The children will definitely not return to the village in the future, and since they are going to settle down in this general's mansion, it is better to be able to blend in with their brothers and sisters.
Luo Yi can say much less than children.
After all, her time is either spent taking care of Gu Jiulang, or she is learning skills with Dan Ruo in the kitchen, so she knows a lot about the names of the dishes, but it is inevitable that she will lack some in her interactions with people.
Du Jingyi walked to her side and said gently.
"Don't worry, with us, no one dares to bully you at will, if there is something you don't understand, just smile, we'll deal with it."
Cai'er told her what Du Jingyi said, Luo Yi nodded meekly, she couldn't speak clearly even if she wanted to socialize, so it was better to obediently lean against the tree.
Then Du Jingyi took out a box, and there was a gold-inlaid jade longevity lock in it, which was extremely valuable at a glance, it was Du Jingyi's dowry, when he created this thing, it took several years, and the light materials were used for several months.
Luo Yi was a little strange, she didn't know what the value of this longevity lock was, but the fourth aunt could see it, so she said with some refusal.
"This thing is too valuable, you better put it away."
"What did Aunt Fourth say, what should I put away? Do you want to wear it for those boys? This style was originally used by the daughter's family, isn't it a joke to give them, besides, Nianjin called me an aunt, if I don't come back with some good things, how can I be worthy of this aunt? ”
Jin'er has a good temperament, and when she sees this thing, she doesn't care, so she said with a smile.
"That's it, I took a lot of good things from my aunt, and my aunt said that we are a daughter who is more expensive than the boy!"
When she spoke, everyone laughed.
And Nianjin, who has been learning etiquette from Jin'er seriously from the beginning, has also made rapid progress, especially in terms of speaking, although there are too many people who don't understand it, but it is still easy to greet people.
"Thank you, aunt, Nian Jin likes it very much."
As for Nianling, he is a little less courageous than his sister, but his eyes are sparkling and cute, and with Tai Ge'er and his five brothers taking care of him, he will not be bullied.
As he was talking, Steward He came in from outside, with a happy look on his face, and then said to Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi.
"General, ma'am, the guests are almost at the door."
"Welcome."
"Yes, father."
It was Tai Ge'er who opened his mouth to answer, he was the eldest of the children and the future Gu family's father-in-law, so he should have picked up this burden, so he lifted his spirit, followed behind Gu Shaoyu, and took his younger brothers to the front door to greet the guests.
Gu Jiulang was pushed out of the courtyard by Gu Shaoyu, and today's banquet guests were divided into men and women, so they dealt with them, and Du Jingyi and the others entertained the wives and ladies of the Cezhou officials in the backyard.
The people who came today are all from the General's Mansion in Cezhou in the future.
Therefore, in terms of identity, although they did not follow the status of those people in Ancheng, they should not be underestimated, and the list of banquets was sent by Mrs. Shao after Du Jingyi came before, so everyone who should have come came.
And some businessmen who are not on the list, Du Jingyi also invited a banquet.
The businessmen here have made great contributions to Cezhou.
Therefore, when facing the official family, there is no inferiority, but some of the small officials' families in Cezhou still wish to be able to marry such a rich family, so they also came over and laughed quite flatteringly.
Du Jingyi is the biggest today in terms of identity and wealth, so when she appeared with the Gu family's family members, those ladies and ladies rushed up.
"I've seen the general's wife, I've seen the ninth lady."
Luo Yi had never seen such a scene, and his nervous palms were sweaty all of a sudden.
Du Jingyi smiled and immediately said to those ladies.
"The ninth brother and sister have just arrived in Cezhou, and they are still a little uncomfortable, but she is a clever person, and a sweet soup on the table today is cooked by her own hands, saying that she wants to let the ladies taste the taste of their hometown, and they are very careful about it."
Hearing this, the ladies also understood, and then said with a compliment without a trace.
"The Ninth Lady is too polite, then we must have a good taste later!"
These ladies who came to greet each other were all smiling like flowers, and although Luo Yi couldn't quite understand what they were saying, he gradually relaxed.
They got along well, and on the other side, Jin'er took Nianjin to the place where the official ladies were.
At the beginning of July, there was a banquet in the General's Palace.
Therefore, Jin'er made a few good friends at the banquet at that time, including the young lady of the Shao family, Shao Yuying.
Shao Yuying has just turned ten years old now, she looks very lively and cute, her family background is the best in Cezhou, and there is no wives and concubines fighting in the family, so her life is very comfortable.
And whether it is appearance, temperament, or talent has been carefully cultivated, although she is not as good as Jin'er in vision and family management, but in comparison, she is already the best lady in Cezhou.
Therefore, most of the friends around her are her friends who get along very well on weekdays, including young ladies from official families and young ladies from businessmen, four or five people are of the same age, and their temperaments are also hearty and generous, so they get along well.
When Jin'er walked over with Nianjin, Shao Yuying waved to them when she saw it, and then naturally stepped forward to greet them.
