Chapter 333 Meeting the Relatives

"The general is being frivolous again, isn't he?"

The couple smiled at each other, and there was always some warmth in the ordinary days.

The eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

The whole Gu family was celebrating for two reasons.

One was to formally introduce Du Jingyi to all the relatives and friends in the name of a family banquet, and the other was to celebrate for Tai Ge'er, who was already nine months old since his birth, and to mention that in a few days, Gu Shaoyu would go north, and they would stay in Jinling City.

Therefore, there were quite a few guests today.

There were Gu family clansmen, the families of Mrs. Gu and several aunts and aunts, and of course, the friends and families that Gu family had the most contact with on weekdays.

Since the middle of the day, carriages and horses have been parked in front of the Gu family's mansion one after another.

The first to arrive must be the clansmen of the Gu family.

The seventh old master was the leader, followed by the third old master and others, and their families came with them. The Gu family had a large number of people, so this time, there were dozens of people coming.

Such a scene would make the relatives in the former Duke's Mansion and the Du family look inferior.

The people in the Duke's Mansion were not of high birth, so even if they enjoyed high positions, they did not have any powerful relatives. The Du family was originally a merchant family, so naturally there would not be any powerful people.

But the relatives in the Gu family were different from the past. They all looked capable. Even the seventh old master and the third old master looked very energetic despite their age.

"Sister-in-law, are we late?"

"Not late, not late, just right."

The seventh old master decisively handed over the position of the head of the family, and Mrs. Gu did not embarrass him. This scene was a rare scene of deep brotherly love and mutual assistance in the eyes of outsiders.

And Du Jingyi had heard a lot about the family from Gu Shaoyu and the fourth aunt before, so he knew everything he should know.

Marshal Gu is the only bloodline of the eldest house, and the others are his cousins. There are many people who take official career as their responsibility, and some take the responsibility of managing the family as their responsibility, and each has their own way of living.

After hundreds of years of prominent families, the Gu family has accumulated a lot of wealth.

For example, more than 70% of the branch of Marshal Gu is inherited from the family, and about 30% comes from military merits. But even so, it is not necessarily the richest among the families.

To be honest, the seventh old master's branch is still the most powerful in the Gu family today.

He and the deceased seventh old lady had three sons, some of whom were engaged in literature, some in martial arts, and some in business, and they all achieved great results in their respective fields.

For example, their family's first master Gu is the current governor of Jinling City, managing the people in one area, their second master Gu is the current commander of Jinling City, guarding the peace of one area, and their third master Gu is a famous wealthy businessman in Jinling City. Relying on the reputation of the Gu family, he is engaged in many industries and is also known as an imperial merchant, which is not comparable to others.

Today, these three masters came together. Du Jingyi did not know the other two, but this third master Gu came from the same business world as her, so she naturally knew him.

Outsiders all say that there are four rich mountains in Jinling City, Gujiashan, Yanjiashan, Liujiashan and Tongjiashan. The latter two are of course not mentioned, and the first two are the third master Gu and Yan Zhiqing.

However, compared to the elusive Yan Zhiqing, Gu San Laoye obviously has more prestige. Or it can be said that Yan Zhiqing only seeks money, but Gu San Laoye not only seeks money but also seeks the absolute king status in the way of money.

Therefore, if you want to do a good business in Jinling City, you have to pay homage to Gu San Laoye.

Perhaps because they have both been in the business world, they are naturally more sensitive than others, so Du Jingyi and Gu San Laoye exchanged a glance, and they were a little confused about each other's depth.

Madam Gu's words interrupted this glance and quickly introduced.

"The child has been ill for a while and has not come out to see everyone. Now that he is well, he naturally wants to recognize his relatives. Jingyi, this is your third uncle, this is your seventh uncle, and those are your uncles and aunts. The ones behind are Shao Yu's cousins. Please meet them all."

"Yes, grandmother."

Du Jingyi followed the rules and saluted and greeted them one by one.

All these people followed the lead of the Seventh Old Master, so if she got his approval, then naturally no one in the Gu family would embarrass her.

Du Jingyi handed the tea respectfully to the Seventh and Third Old Masters.

"The niece's wife greets the Seventh and Third Uncles. Please have some tea."

The two were several dozen years older than her, so they naturally would not embarrass her at this moment, especially since the Seventh Old Master had prepared some things, and said with a chuckle.

"You are new here, and I don't know what you like, so I asked the eldest daughter-in-law to prepare two boxes of jewelry for you. Take a look and see if you like them. If you like them, tell your eldest aunt."

"Thank you, seventh uncle."

Gifts from elders to younger generations should not be rejected.

However, Du Jingyi didn't expect him to be so generous. He asked for two boxes of jewelry right away. Even if Du Jingyi didn't see them now, he knew that the things would not be bad.

Is this behavior to show off their family's strong wealth?

The Third Old Master and others were used to it. Although they were also rich, they were still far behind the Seventh Old Master's family, so they just gave a red envelope as a token of appreciation.

Du Jingyi did not treat the gifts given by the two elders in a biased manner, which made everyone quite satisfied.

Men might not be able to see it, but the women in the backyard knew it from the way she bowed and saluted, so the eldest aunt asked uncertainly.

"Is Shao Yu's wife pregnant again?"

Her eyes were really sharp, but her belly was indeed bigger than when she gave birth to Tai Ge'er, so it was not surprising to be noticed.

Seeing this, the eldest aunt smiled and stood beside her and said.

"My cousin's eyes are really sharp. It was because she was pregnant that she didn't go out a few days ago. Now that she is more than three months pregnant, she showed her face in front of everyone."

After hearing this, everyone's faces were wonderful.

It's not that they covet the property of Marshal Gu's lineage, so they are a little surprised, but they feel that this family has been withering for a long time and is about to fall.

As soon as this daughter-in-law was married into the family, she gave birth to children one after another, and revitalized the situation. She is really blessed!
