Chapter 581 He Family Courtyard
Summer sleep is shallow, and perhaps Du Jingyi's laughter was a little loud, so the two children were woken up. When they woke up, they looked outside with sleepy eyes, and Jin'er asked lazily.
"Is mother outside?"
The two who were whispering outside heard it and immediately walked over with a smile on their faces.
"Not only me, but also your aunt."
"Is your aunt here too?"
"Well, did Sister Yan sleep well?"
Du Jingyi came out from behind, and when he looked at Sister Yan, his expression was a little playful, not like the mother of four children at all, so Sister Yan was a little overjoyed.
"Why is my aunt here? Is there something you need from me?"
"Well, someone from my family came and said they want to take you to the new house to have a look. We can start moving at the end of the month. Then, when you come to the General's Mansion to visit Jin'er, it will be closer."
Yan Jie'er has always known that the family is moving, but Jin'er next to her got a little excited after hearing the good news, and hurriedly asked Du Jingyi.
"Aunt, can I go?"
"Well, you have to ask your cousin Yan about this. If she agrees, then I will take you to see it together!"
Hearing this, Jin'er pulled Yan Jie'er's hand and was ready to act like a spoiled child, but before she could open her mouth, Yan Jie'er raised her hands in surrender and said to her.
"Go, go, go, go, how can I not go? When my yard is moved, I will invite you to stay for a while!"
Jin'er's eyes lit up when she heard it, which made Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaochun laugh non-stop with their handkerchiefs covered.
So the two of them got up in a hurry, dressed neatly, and went to the new courtyard where the He family rested.
This courtyard is naturally not comparable to the general's mansion, but it is clean and elegant. The mason renovated it according to the drawings given by the Suzhou master for a long time. Look, every corner is brand new.
Because it is summer, there are green trees everywhere, and the vitality makes Jin'er very happy as soon as she enters the door.
Not only her, but also the two elders of the He family like it.
They are lucky to be able to buy this house at this price and renovate it like this.
Du Jingxiang took everyone around for a circle.
Yun Ge'er didn't come because he was in school, but the vegetation in his yard was the most lush, and the window where he usually read was also full of flower waterfalls. Not only him, but even Du Jingyi felt relaxed and happy when he saw it.
"Sister, you have good taste. The decoration is really good."
"It's not entirely my credit. I asked my mother and mother-in-law before deciding on the furnishings in the yard. They are both better at managing the household than I am, so we have the effect today."
Half of the servants here were moved from the He family to Xinpingzhou. Some were left at home to look after the old house. Those who could come here were trustworthy and often used, so they were very handy.
What was still missing were some errand boys and errand boys. Madam Du arranged to find a maid to buy a new batch, and now they have all settled in the yard.
"The auspicious day for moving is July 27th. I thought I would gradually prepare for moving after the Zhongyuan Festival. On the 27th, I would start cooking in the new house and invite everyone to come and add some people to the house."
"Add some people, don't worry. There are more than 20 people in the general's mansion. Come on, fill up your yard."
Du Jingxiang touched her round belly and said with loving eyes.
"According to the date, this child will be born in the new house. It's good. She will live in a new house when she is born. She is smart!"
Du Jingxiang is now more relaxed than when she first arrived in Sui'an City, so she speaks and acts more neatly. Seeing her new look, the Du family couple are also happy.
"Okay, we'll all come and add some people to your yard."
After looking at the house, Yan Jie'er naturally followed Du Jingxiang and the others on the way back. Jin'er was reluctant to leave her, but they agreed to go to Du's house to play with her tomorrow, so the two finally separated.
In the carriage, Jin'er held her cheek with her little hand. Although she was small, she seemed to be worried, which made Du Jingyi a little funny, and then asked.
"Why are you so reluctant to leave your cousin Yan?"
"Of course, the brothers and sisters in the family are all smelly, only cousin Yan is always fragrant, of course, aunt and mother are also fragrant."
Boys are active, and they are at the age of learning martial arts, so they are naturally sweaty every day, so it is normal for Jin'er to dislike them.
"Don't worry, maybe another little sister will be born in a few days. When she grows up, you will have more than just cousin Yan as a playmate."
"Are you talking about the little sister in Aunt He's belly?"
"Yes."
Gu Xiaochun was a little confused and asked quickly.
"Has it been confirmed? Is it a little sister?"
"The family specially invited Doctor Chen to take the pulse, there is no mistake."
"Hey, I always want to have another soft and tender daughter, but I don't know why, after giving birth to Wen Ge'er, there is no news from this belly."
"This is simple, wait for Xia Meng to come back from Quanzhou, let her take a look at you, she is the top skill in this area, and there are ways to treat any difficult disease."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaochun also looked hopeful, and then asked a question.
"It's already July, and I haven't heard from her. Will she come back in the fall? I heard from my aunt that the marriage is fully prepared, and they are just waiting for them to come back to set the date, but don't we have to choose the date in advance? Will it be too late by then?"
"Don't worry, with my aunt's impatient temper, if they come back today, I'm afraid they can get married and enter the bridal chamber tomorrow."
"That's right."
Gu Xiaochun smiled and felt that what Du Jingyi said made sense.
When they arrived at the general's mansion, they met Aunt Xing who had just returned from outside when they got off the carriage. In such weather, she was sweating a little, fanning herself left and right, and greeted Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaochun when she saw them.
"Why are you still going out in such a hot day?"
"Sister's house has been decorated and she invited us to come and have a look. She said that it will be warmed up on the 27th. Aunt and I will go together then!"
"They moved quickly. If the house we chose is to be habitable, it will be at least winter. But I wrote to Zhao'er and he couldn't decide on a date for his return. It's really annoying."
