Chapter 526 Making Changes

Du Jingyi hadn't eaten at her mother's house for a long time. Now, she had several meals at the Du family because her elder sister and nephews and nieces came back. In addition, every time she came from the general's mansion, Gu Shaoyu and several children had to accompany her.

So after a few days, the wealthy families in Sui'an City knew that the general's wife's elder sister had returned, so many occasions that she shouldn't have been able to attend were even sent to the Du family.

Not to mention Du Jingxiang, even Master Du and Madam Du didn't know how to deal with those invitations when they saw them.

If it were usual, they would just go, it would only take a meal, and there were many powerful families, and their Du family was nothing among them.

But now is different from the past. Even Du Jingxiang, the wife of a seventh-rank official from a small place in Pingzhou, can participate in the feast in Sui'an City. Doesn't this show that the stormy waves that Gu Shaoyu had experienced after the mourning period are about to start again?

So, they were also very embarrassed.

So he put the invitation in front of Du Jingyi and said with much embarrassment.

"The invitation has been sent. It is difficult for us to go or not to go. We are afraid that it will make things difficult for you and your wife. People outside think that your power has given us enough face, and it is really putting us on the fire.

Today, Gu Shaoyu was playing chess with Master Du in the front hall, so only the mother and daughter were talking in the back yard, so the things they said were much more straightforward.

When Du Jingyi heard this, he didn't think there was anything wrong, and then said.

"It's just an invitation. If mother and sister want to go and see the excitement, go. If you don't want to go, just find a reason to make up. It doesn't matter. If you are forced to go to the general's mansion to do anything, how can you live in the future?"

"Is it really okay? Will it affect you? If outsiders say that you have a bullying mother's family, won't it be bad for your reputation? "

Du Jingxiang hasn't been back to Sui'an City for many years, so he really has no idea what the situation is like here.

Hearing her words, Du Jingyi couldn't help but smile and said.

"In the early years, people in Sui'an City were saying that I was tough and that the general and I were incompatible. Didn't I get through it well? If I were the kind of person who lived by listening to rumors outside, could I still live so comfortably? Sister underestimated me too much."

Seeing this, Mrs. Du nodded and then said.

"That's true. Let's live our lives. It's irrelevant for others to say what they say. However, I think it's not easy for you to come here, Xiangxiang. You should move around more these days. If nothing else, it's good to get to know a few more people. The people in the court have some intricate connections in their backyards. Even if it's as far away as Pingzhou, there may be people you know, right?

Du Jingxiang took a deep breath when she heard this, and her eyes wavered.

Ordinarily, with her personality, she would not go if she could. She did not like this kind of occasion at all, and she was not good at saying nice things, but her mother's words were hanging in her ears, and it was indeed the case.

Even for the future of her husband and children, she could not always stay at home, so she was a little shaken, so Mrs. Du said while the iron was hot.

"It's not necessary to go to every banquet. You and I will pick a few familiar ones to go and see first. There is no need to be so anxious, right, Tangtang."

Du Jingyi certainly understood what her mother meant, so he persuaded Du Jingxiang together.

In the end, Du Jingxiang also felt that he should change a little, so he agreed to this matter. The first banquet in front of him was the birthday banquet of the Li family. Therefore, Du Jingxiang went from worrying about whether to go to the present to the present, what gift to send?

In this case, Mrs. Du would naturally arrange it properly.

Du Jingxiang said with a face full of emotion and some self-blame.

"I am so old, and I still make my mother and sister worry so much. I am really ashamed."

"What are you ashamed of? We are a family, why are you saying these things? When my brother-in-law can be transferred from Pingzhou to Sui'an City to be an official, it will be great. Our whole family can really be reunited in a lively manner."

Although she said so, Du Jingxiang did not have such high hopes for her husband's future, but still accepted Du Jingyi's blessing and said with a smile.

"Okay, when I go back, I will spur your brother-in-law and let him work harder, so that the starting point of the two children will be higher."

Hearing this, the mother and daughter all laughed, but when mentioning the two children, Mrs. Du still had some other thoughts in her mind, but it was not easy to bring them up at the moment, so she simply waited a little longer until they got used to getting along with the children.

The adults naturally talked about everything, and the children also developed a deeper relationship through playing and fighting. Although at the beginning, the brothers didn't like the silence of the eldest cousin and the timidity of the younger cousin.

But when the children get along with each other, they can relax quickly. Once they relax, they will show their true nature. In addition, although these two children have not seen as much as the four brothers of Tai, they have also been carefully taught by their family.

Therefore, a humble temperament has its advantages. From time to time, they get a little angry, which makes the Tai brothers like this eldest cousin and the younger cousin.

In the yard, six people squatted on the ground, watching the ants' journey with great interest.

"A piece of cake can attract so many ants. It's really a case of no gain."

"You should say that we work together and unite as one. Look at the size of this cake. It may not be so big even if so many ants put together. But look at how long it has taken to move more than half of it. Isn't it thought-provoking?"

The four brothers kept talking, but Yun Ge'er and his sister didn't say anything. Seeing this, Tai Ge asked curiously.

"Cousin Yun, cousin Yan, aren't you curious?"

"What are you curious about? It's just the nature of ants. Even if it's not this cake today, but other food, as long as they need it for survival, don't they have to move it? You are looking at all kinds of life truths. I think ants don't think so much. Having something to eat is the most important thing."

He Qianyun's words confused all the brothers.

They had never thought of this idea before. As expected, there must be a teacher among three people. So Brother Tai smiled and said. (End of this chapter)
