Chapter 330 The Enlightener
Gu Shaoyu obviously also enjoyed her "reprimand". Du Jingyi even felt that he was just rushing to get some reprimands to feel comfortable.
As she spoke, Sister Chen looked at Du Jingyi, and then said with a gentle expression.
"From now on, you will be in charge of the Gu family. I see that you are also a kind-hearted person. You must remember that when it comes to matters of this family, rules are the most important. The first one to be the most unruly is It’s the one next to you, so be careful.”
Gu Shaoyu said with a bitter look on his face.
"Sister, don't do it like this. If you say this to Tangtang for the first time, wouldn't it mean that she will know my background? What if she regrets marrying me?"
After hearing this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but chuckle and said.
"I used to think that the general was fearless, but now it seems that he has found someone to rule you, so the general will have to behave himself in the future, otherwise, as my sister said, I must strictly manage the family. ”
She followed Sister Chen's tone and said this, making everyone present laugh. Even the stern Sister Chen also raised the corners of her mouth.
My impression of Du Jingyi improved a lot.
In fact, she did this on purpose. It was inappropriate for her to say these words in her capacity. After all, the serious elders above belonged to Mrs. Gu and several aunts and uncles.
But it was because she knew how big a family Du Jingyi would be in the future that she would say some unpleasant words with a cold face as soon as he arrived to see how she would respond?
Unexpectedly, she would solve the problem smoothly.
He was able to turn everyone's attention to Gu Shaoyu without making himself feel embarrassed. He seemed to be a smart person.
Therefore, after confirming this, she let go of her obsession with the Gu family, so she retreated to the back and stopped saying anything to embarrass the two couples.
Seeing that she was very well-controlled, Du Jingyi also understood that Sister Chen was deliberately testing her, but she didn't feel angry or being treated poorly. She just lamented that such a good woman was delayed by the world.
However, I heard that she is now teaching her nieces at home. With her character, she will be able to bring out many independent and strong women, and they will not have to rely on their husband's family to make a living in the future.
Unlike Sister Chen's seriousness, her former fourth cousin-in-law Xu Ajie had a lively temperament.
She seems to have "the same affinity" with her fourth aunt. When she was still in the Gu family, she had the closest relationship with her fourth aunt. Although they are not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they get along with each other more like confidants.
Therefore, when she arrived, she first greeted Mrs. Gu and her former mother-in-law, the second aunt, and then spent more time talking to the fourth aunt.
After seeing Sister Chen retreat, she stood up with a smile. There was a hint of indifference in the world in her eyebrows, but she did not say that she was aloof. Instead, she became more and more energetic. It was obvious that she was used to living in a world far away from home. people.
She pointed to the gifts on the table and said.
"These are the specialties I brought back from the southwest. They are not valuable things. They are just for fun. I heard that you and your wife brought back a little bean sprout. Let me take a look. Is it like the fourth aunt said? So cute and adorable.”
As soon as she said this, Gu Shaoyu said to the fourth aunt with a bitter face.
"Fourth Aunt, please stop talking about how talented Brother Tai is. My nephew's ears are getting calluses just listening to these words these past two days. You also know that all the relatives in the family are thinking about him. So If you keep boasting, I'm afraid the child's character will not be settled in the future."
"What are you afraid of? There is still Yinhua (Sister Chen). If Brother Tai is really naughty in the future, Wu will rely on you and Wen will rely on her. Why should we not learn the rules and be upright? How big of a person is he now? Isn’t it normal to just give a few compliments? Isn’t my child cute?”
The fourth aunt's words really left Gu Shaoyu speechless, but after all, it was true, but Sister Chen opened her mouth to express it.
"I'm just a scholar. It's okay to be an enlightenment for Brother Tai. If he achieves some success in the future and wants to rely on this path of knowledge, then I will go find my grandfather to be his teacher. He is an old man. Much better than me.”
Sister Chen's grandfather was one of the three great Confucian scholars in Jinling City, and his status was even higher than Master Ming, whom Shang Qilang had already become a disciple of. Therefore, if he really got his guidance, this brother Tai would be ranked among the literati in the future. Status is incredible.
This is not just a matter of knowledge, but the status of apprenticeship is there. Even if you are older, if you have a lower status, you will still call Brother Tai when you see him, even if you are a junior. Where is my uncle?
Du Jingyi didn't know much about the ways inside, but Gu Shaoyu did.
Therefore, he solemnly bowed to Sister Chen and said with a very serious expression.
"Thank you, sister."
Sister Chen waved her hands, as if she was just introducing a relative to the family. This calmness and demeanor made Mrs. Gu like it but felt pity for her.
"It's rare for you two to come back, so why don't you leave today?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sister Xu came forward and said coquettishly.
"Grandma, are you going to drive me away? I have packed my bags and I am determined not to leave! This time I came back from my grandfather's house and planned to stay for three or two months before going back. I have been with my parents for more than a month recently. Now when I look back at home, I have to wait for ten days and a half!”
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu was so happy that she couldn't see her eyes clearly.
But Sister Chen said very politely.
"I asked for leave this time. I can only stay for three days before going back. The children at home are not ready to start their studies yet, so they need to be more disciplined."
After hearing this, the aunt nodded.
She knew the former daughter-in-law's style of doing things very well. She would not easily agree to someone, but once she agreed, she would not deal with it carelessly, and would definitely do it very well and in place.
Seeing this, Du Jingyi had some ideas in his mind, so he asked softly.
"I wonder how old these nieces in Sister's family are now?"
"Twelve or thirteen years old, what's wrong?"
Generally, women stop learning things at home after they reach the age of marriage. Although it is not clear whether this is also the case in the Chen family, the timing is just right.
So Du Jingyi said something meaningful.
"Now there are several younger sisters in the family, all of whom are of marriageable age. I am pregnant with another child, and I am afraid that the children will need a teacher to teach them in the future. I think my elder sister is very suitable."
