MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

As soon as he finished speaking, people from the Gu family walked out.

The first ones are naturally the eldest aunt and the second aunt. They have aged a bit these days, and their gray hair has quietly come, but their figures have not changed much, they are still similar to the past.

 The good look and happy and excited expression on his face can already explain his mood at the moment.

"Earlier, I sent people to squat at the gate of the city for several days without seeing you arrive. I thought it would be a few days late. Who knew that you would arrive just after they came back? Come on, come on, go back and clean up first. We will use it in the evening. Family dinner!”

The eldest aunt said with a smile, and the second aunt next to her also echoed.

 After many years of absence, when Du Jingyi returned to the Gu family's old house again, he did not feel unfamiliar. On the contrary, because there were familiar people in the family, he felt that this place had not changed much.

 As we walked in, there were both similarities and differences between this place and before.

Probably because there are so many children, children’s joy can be seen from top to bottom.

Nian Jin and Nian Ling were both looking back at their old home for the first time, so they were more unfamiliar and curious about it. However, after walking along the way, they found that this place was very similar to the General's Mansion in Cezhou, and they relaxed a lot. .

When they arrived at Sanshan Hall, they couldn't help but sigh.

 “This place is so atmospheric.”

Tai Geer smiled when he heard this and immediately introduced the two of them.

"This is the place where guests are entertained, discussed, and gathered for leisurely meals. You must remember where you came from."

"yes, Sir!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw Gu Xiaochun and Su Erlang, and Gu Xiaoyun and Huo Silang appeared with several children as big as peas.

On both sides of the couple are Wen Ge'er and Jing Ge'er. They are now brothers, especially Wen Ge'er, who has begun to grow into an adult.

Wen Ge'er is Jin'er's biological brother, and Jing Ge'er is Zhong Ge'er's biological brother. They haven't seen each other for a few days, so naturally they want to say hello with red eyes.

Brother Wen is born exactly like Su Erlang, and he also looks like a handsome gentleman. Therefore, compared with the tiger-like Wen Brother and Zhong Brother, he is a bit "weak", but the peace between his eyebrows is similar to that of Ming Brother. , is also a good material for reading and literacy.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Brother Wen is now an adult. In a few days, I will go north to the academy with your second brother to study. I will definitely make a big difference!"

The "your second brother" in Du Jingyi's mouth is naturally referring to Brother Ming. He and Brother Wen are both stable-tempered children in the family, so it is better to go to the academy to further their studies. Maybe the Gu family will be able to produce a child in the future. Being the number one scholar is also a great thing to bring glory to one's family.

 “Thank you aunt for the praise, my nephew will definitely work hard!”

Compared to asking Brother that the way ahead is clear, Brother Jing couldn't tell what he liked at the moment, so he didn't know how to praise him for a while, so the second aunt who noticed something strange picked up the conversation and said.

"Our brother Jing is also very capable. He has learned a lot of pharmacological knowledge from his father and his grandfather Huo's family over the years. A child who is only a few years old can understand everything in the medicine library. ”

“Huh? Brother Jing is studying medicine?”

When Du Jingyi heard this, she was full of surprise. There were children in the family who were engaged in literature, martial arts, and business. The only thing she didn't expect was that there were also children who were engaged in medicine.

Jin'er had learned some medical skills from Xia Meng in the past, but it was not considered a serious study, but according to what her second aunt said, she wanted Brother Jing to take this path in the future.

"Yes, this kid will go into the medicine store when he has nothing to do. He feels comfortable smelling the smell of herbs that others avoid, so I thought that when he gets older, I will let his father take him for more walks outside. Look, the most important thing for a medical practitioner is to read more and learn more, in order to make progress." Du Jingyi agreed with the second aunt's words, so he said something later.

"Xia Meng once compiled a set of medical books, and now the results have been achieved. They also want to congratulate Brother Tai on his marriage. I will write to her and ask her to bring it over for Brother Jing to learn from."

 “Oh, is it done?”

"What's wrong with this? Xia Meng originally asked me to give this medical book to more people. She said that medical practitioners should have a big heart. If everything is hidden, how can it be done? Won’t many people die in vain?”

Hearing this, the second aunt felt relieved.

Brother Jing was as calm as ever, quite unfazed. He just cupped his fists and said something to Du Jingyi.

 “Thank you, Auntie, for your troublesome arrangement.”

 “Okay, okay, they are all good kids.”

The remaining children are still the size of peas, so Du Jingyi gave them a set of interesting toys each, and they were very happy.

 “Where’s my sister-in-law? Why don’t I see her?”

Du Jingyi walked around but didn't see Chen Yinhua, so he asked.

"She didn't know you would be back today, so she went back to her parents' house earlier. You don't know how sweet-mouthed Brother Tai's future wife is. She has come to visit us several times in the past few days. Oh, I always follow her when I see her. It feels like honey, and I feel so comfortable!"

Hearing the eldest aunt's non-stop praise of Chen He'an, everyone looked at Brother Tai with some teasing. Unfortunately, he stood there motionless, quite calm.

Wen Geer snickered and complained to Cong Geer next to him.

"Looking at the serious look of the eldest brother, those who didn't know it would have thought he was very stoic. I once saw him holding a handkerchief in his arms, but he didn't embroider anything, but his precious one looked like something. , my future sister-in-law must have secretly sent it to me, huh, what a prude!"

 Brother Cong squinted his eyes, looked at Brother Wen with contempt, and then teased him.

"Do you dare to say this to eldest brother? You know what nonsense I am talking about! Besides, I didn't embroider anything. How do you know it was given by my future sister-in-law? Don't talk nonsense with your mouth shut. Be careful to let outsiders hear it and spoil your future sister-in-law. reputation!"

 It is not easy to give or receive in private. Although the two are said to be engaged, the tokens that have not been exchanged openly are still somewhat unclear.

 That's why Brother Cong spoke like this.

 Wen Geer immediately swore to the sky and said.

"I swear, I have told you about this. If I talk nonsense outside, I will fall into the eighteenth level of hell!"

 He spoke a little angrily, so Brother Cong didn't say anything.

 But this movement was still seen by other people, so he asked them.

 “What are you brothers talking about? It’s so lively?”

 Brother Wen felt a little guilty, but in the end it was Brother Cong who came to the rescue.
