Chapter 360: Banquet of Hundred Children

The days passed day by day, and it was late April in the blink of an eye.

Brother Tai's first-year banquet was also very grand with the deliberate preparations of the Gu family. This grandness did not mean that many powerful people were invited to the house for fun, but this time, the fourth aunt specially prepared a banquet for hundreds of sons. .

The Hundred Sons Banquet, as the name suggests, is when ninety-nine children are invited to the house for a feast. Adding in the birthday boy Tai Geer, the total number is exactly one hundred children.

There are older ones and younger ones, boys and girls. Some are the children of relatives in the family, and some are orphans who once followed their Gu family to conquer the country. They have been well taken care of by the Gu family these years, so this requires It is not difficult to gather a hundred children.

The only thing that the fourth aunt didn't expect was how lively, or rather noisy, these children were when they got together. Even she, who was used to being in a military camp, found it very noisy, let alone other people.

Mrs. Gu couldn't laugh or cry. She was happy when she saw the children's smiling faces, but she couldn't help but smile. After all, she was old, and she couldn't bear the constant chattering in her ears!

So he told his fourth aunt.

"Hurry up and let them all go play in the yard outside. Call Ping'er and Xing Zhao, and their sisters to lead a team each. Find more games that are fun and won't hurt. Let's do it, my old lady. I can’t bear the food of your Baiziyan, so I’d better go see Jingyi first.”

When the fourth aunt saw this, she immediately raised her arms and shouted, "Children, let's go!"

This was quite interesting, and it immediately attracted the children's interest. There was a huge wave of noise, just like the boy soldiers who had just entered the camp. Although they were curious, they did not follow the instructions very much.

Fortunately, the Gu family had enough people, the mother-in-law, maids, servants, and stewards all showed up. One person could keep an eye on two of them, and he could always keep an eye on them. Everywhere he went, he felt like there was a sea of ​​people.

Fortunately, the Gu family already had a large open space designated as a martial arts training ground, so it was more appropriate to gather there.

Brother Tai had probably never seen such liveliness before. He was a little confused at first, but after he got used to it, he started dancing. He was hugged by his fourth aunt, but he was scurrying around fiercely, as if he was struggling to get down with him. These brothers and sisters are playing.

Seeing this, the fourth aunt felt quite proud and said to the third aunt next to her.

"Third sister-in-law, look, I have a good idea, that is, my mother-in-law and Shaoyu's wife can't listen to this kind of noise now, otherwise it will be more fun!"

When the third aunt saw this, she also waved her hand and said a little shocked.

"The fourth brother and sister did a good job hosting this banquet. Don't do it again next time. Now that the children are smaller, the maid and mother-in-law can still hold them. If they were bigger, I'm afraid the roof would be demolished. Don't say anything. Mother-in-law, I feel like I’m going to get a headache if I keep listening to this, otherwise, I’d better go back first?”

After hearing this, the fourth aunt immediately grabbed the hand of her third sister-in-law, and said "viciously" as if she had boarded my pirate ship and would not even think about going back.

"Sister-in-law, don't even think about running away. What's the point of staying at home every day? How about leading a team? Just act like a child? Why don't you also join in the game?"

After hearing this, the third aunt said with a troubled expression.

"Hey, why don't you spare my old bones and ask me to do embroidery and play games with the children for fun? I'm afraid that whichever team I'm on will lose. Then aren't the children just having fun? Not trying your best?"

"How is that possible? I see that the third sister-in-law is very talented, so let's do it. Come on, Lang'er invites your mother to join the team, and you have to give her a head role no matter what!"

As a result, the third aunt suffered, the second aunt suffered, and even the eldest aunt and Mrs. Xing, who were just joining in the fun, were inexplicably forced to join in. Plus Ping'er, Xing Zhao, the three sisters of the Gu family and Su Erlang, there happened to be ten adults. , one person takes care of nine children.

The nine teams are divided by color, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, plus black, white, and silver. They are all complete. They all have cloth strips tied to their arms to distinguish them.

Because Brother Tai was too young, he could only follow his fourth aunt and give orders on the stage. From time to time, the wet nurse would drag him down to join in the fun. For a time, the entire Gu family's martial arts training ground was filled with laughter and laughter.

Even the elders, who were very reserved and uncomfortable at the beginning, started to play with the idea of ​​winning or losing. One second they were calling their old arms and legs, and the next second they started playing like children. art of war.

They are all family members of military commanders, and no one is stupider than the other.

So in the end, the score became very close, one was catching up, and the other was catching up, which made people feel anxious.

Now sitting in Qiwu Courtyard, listening to the faint laughter, Mrs. Gu also said with a helpless smile.

"Aren't you calling your mother-in-law a joke? This fourth daughter-in-law has always had a lively temperament, so she has the most evil ideas. If I had known that she had called so many children here, I would have stayed in a temple outside the city long ago. , make the ears clean and pure.”

Then he asked Du Jingyi concernedly.

"How about it? The sound doesn't bother you, right? If it's too noisy, go for a walk in the courtyard over to Laosi. Her courtyard is further away from here, so maybe the noise will be quieter."

Du Jingyi's belly is getting bigger and bigger now. When she stands up and looks down, she only has a round belly, and no feet can be seen. Therefore, whether she is sitting down, standing up or walking, people around her have to be careful. Attention.

She touched her belly casually and smiled and replied.

"Don't worry, grandma. I don't dare to get close to my granddaughter-in-law. It's okay to sit in the yard and listen. But I think Brother Tai must be very happy. Such excitement is not always available."

"Happy, happy. I saw that the boy was so excited before I came. I have never seen it before. This child probably likes to play with other children. The first birthday party of the fourth daughter-in-law made the child very happy."

Mrs. Du heard this and changed the subject.

"The fourth lady has a generous personality, which is rare. There are too many requirements for women in this world. To be able to have such a personality, it can be seen that she was loved by her family when she was a girl at home. I think the old lady is also very tolerant in the Gu family."

After hearing what Mrs. Du said, Mrs. Gu smiled with her eyes bent, and then said.

"There aren't so many rules and regulations for military commanders. Besides, I'm lazy, so I won't force them to do something. As a result, the fourth son's wife has developed a bad temper over time."
