Chapter 290: Honored
Every time the fourth aunt would say a few words, saying that this child is a martial arts genius.
This made Du Jingyi very confused, because she had just said that he was a genius who could speak eloquently.
As expected, the words of the elders praising the younger generation cannot be fully believed, so there is too much doting in it, so people's hearts are naturally biased.
All the women in the general's mansion doted on him, and Mrs. Du often came to praise him. Fortunately, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi and his wife balanced it, so Tai Ge'er did not show any complacency.
On the contrary, his rare and stable good temper made Du Jingyi admire him a little.
He was still smiling when he wet his pants, and he was still smiling when he was given some sour fruits to eat, and he was still smiling when he accidentally knocked over the glass cup on the table, as if there was nothing in the world that bothered him.
Seeing this, people can really get better no matter how bad their mood is.
On this day, Mrs. Du and Mr. Du came to the house and sent someone to bring many ingenious toys specially made for their grandson. They were all made of solid wood, polished to be warm and not irritating.
The colors were not colorful, but rather the gentleness of the original wood.
Tai Geer liked it very much as soon as he got his hands on it, and kept talking about it.
Mrs. Du, who was watching from the side, was also happy, and then said.
"The master asked your uncle Han's skilled craftsmen to make this thing. I heard that it was an imported technique. I originally thought that it was so simple that it would not attract the attention of children, but I never thought that Tai Geer would like it so much."
The eldest sister-in-law saw Tai Geer having fun and mentioned it casually.
"If more styles can be made, I'm afraid that the women's circle in Sui'an City will compete to buy it again."
After she said this, Du Jingyi thought of a business.
Yan Zhiqing had also been "traveling" for many days, and it was almost time for her to return to Jinling City. If she brought some rare and valuable things from outside and wanted to enter the market of children from wealthy families, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.
She smiled happily, and others thought she was happy because her son liked this thing. Only Mrs. Du understood that her daughter had thought of some ways to make money, which was why she looked so happy.
The mother and daughter smiled at each other, and everything had to be polished carefully.
The endless heat of summer came, and after entering August, there was another heavy and exciting news in Sui'an City.
The seventh prince married Miss Zhao as his principal wife. Although it was not as grand and luxurious as the crown prince's appointment of the crown princess, it was also a rare show in Sui'an City.
It was also on this day that Du Jingyi finally met the rumored imperial concubine.
Early in the morning, the entrance of the seventh prince's mansion was full of people.
Most of them were children, and because they knew there was a custom of celebrating, everyone was waiting.
As expected, when the auspicious time came, the main door of the prince's mansion was opened.
All the servants inside had red silk wrapped around their waists, and walked out with festive faces, some celebrating, some setting off firecrackers.
The seventh prince, who was in the lead, was also dressed in red, riding a tall horse, and led the carriage pulled by eight horses to the Zhao family.
Such a pomp was also "requested" by the imperial concubine for the seventh prince, otherwise, with his status as a prince, at most four to six horses would have been the maximum.
Therefore, this carriage seemed to give face to the Zhao family and show respect, but in fact it expressed the imperial concubine's honor and favor, so that outsiders dare not underestimate it.
The wedding team went around Sui'an City for an hour or two before returning to the prince's mansion, and everything in the mansion was taken care of by the fourth prince and the fourth prince's wife.
His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine would not appear at the door in their noble form to welcome guests, so naturally the eldest brother, the Fourth Prince, would preside over the ceremony, while the Fourth Prince's wife would also greet the guests in the back house with a smile.
Today, the General's Mansion was well attended.
Except for the Fourth Aunt, all the women in the back house came, including the eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang.
Originally, the two of them didn't care whether they came or not, but the Guo family sent a message saying that everyone would come today, and they thought that it would be enough for them to sit together and talk and eat, so they came together.
Most of the people who came today were the families of the Fourth Prince's followers, and some neutral families who did not want to offend either side.
So when people like the Guo family and the Gu family appeared at the table, it would naturally attract everyone's attention.
At this time, the eldest sister-in-law Liu finally realized why the Guo family had to inform them in advance. For such occasions, they should either not come or come with a lot of people, so as not to be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, when the Crown Princess appeared, she walked towards the women of the Guo and Gu families with a smile on her face, without any discomfort.
Gu Xiaolang had returned to Jinling City a long time ago, and the Crown Princess and the Earl's Mansion also understood what Madam Gu meant, so they couldn't force her to come no matter how much they liked her, so they slowly let go of their thoughts.
So when they met in such occasions, they just nodded and didn't express their opinions too much.
Instead, the powerful relatives around the Fourth Prince's wife, mainly Princess Yuehua, Princess Fu and Madam Wei, unconsciously showed an attitude of both sides against each other.
The Crown Princess remembered everything and turned to Du Jingyi and said.
"I heard that in two months, you will follow Madam Gu back to Jinling City to worship your ancestors?"
"Yes, Crown Princess."
"It will be tiring on the road, can Tai Geer handle it?"
"That child can eat and sleep, and doesn't look like a person who gets angry, so it should be fine."
"That's good. This child should be taken care of more carefully, otherwise it will be bad if someone takes advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
The Crown Princess was hinting, and when the Fourth Prince's wife heard this, her eyes became sharp.
The trouble she mentioned was the unhappiness in the Fourth Prince's Mansion these days.
The Fourth Prince and the Fourth Prince's wife have been married for several years. They have a son, but his body is not very good. Now he is a child of three or four years old, but he is only as big as a two or three-year-old child.
Although he is precocious, his body is not good.
So he has been carefully served all these years. Who knew that he suddenly had a high fever a few days ago. He carefully checked his eating and drinking, but found nothing wrong.
But the Fourth Prince's Mansion has been in turmoil for many days, and he has been thoroughly investigated from top to bottom.
Fortunately, the child was fine in the end, but after all this trouble, he became much weaker, and the Fourth Prince's wife also spent a lot of time taking care of him.
If it weren't for today, she had to show up, and the Fourth Prince's wife might not be willing to go out.
