MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 529 How reserved
After getting on the carriage, Mrs. Du began to speak loudly.
“Even calling a nanny can trip you up? Xiangxiang, are you okay?”
"What mother said is that my daughter also had some thoughts for a while. She was told by grandma that if she didn't bring more things, she would be looked down upon, so she delayed the time and kept Tangtang and the general waiting. Yes, it’s not my fault.”
Du Jingxiang apologized quickly and sincerely, but seeing this made Mrs. Du even more sad. She originally planned to say a few more words, but was stopped by Du Jingyi.
“Okay, okay, just go out, mother, don’t keep saying, we are going to a birthday banquet, so we have to be in a happy mood, right?”
Hearing this, Mrs. Du also took a few deep breaths, glanced at her eldest daughter and said nothing else. After Du Jingxiang escaped his mother's chatter, he looked at his sister Du Jingyi and whispered gratefully.
“Fortunately you are here.”
Like many days in the past, when her mother gets angry, Du Jingyi is always there to put it out.
Du Jingyi pulled his sister's hand, not thinking it was a big deal, so he looked at her with a smile, and the comforting meaning was clear.
This little incident did not affect everyone's mood to go out, so with excitement and curiosity, it didn't take long for everyone to arrive at the door of Li's house.
Nowadays, the Li family is also a family that is proud of the spring breeze. Naturally, the battle at the door of the house is also very lively and there are many guests.
In the year of Mr. Li's destiny, his daughter became the imperial concubine and married the Duke of the country. His sons were also considered prominent figures in the court, so those who came here today were all either rich or noble.
However, these people were familiar faces, so they all congratulated loudly before entering. When they arrived, everyone naturally focused their attention on the carriages and horses in the General's Mansion, waiting for them. Looking after Shaoyu and Du Jingyi.
Therefore, the Du family members who came with them, even though they had no official or position, also became the focus of everyone's attention.
Du Jingxiang was sitting in the car and couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene.
"After all, it is a noble family in Sui'an City. The people who come and go are either rich or noble. You can tell just by looking at the servants who followed."
Her words made Mr. Du and Mrs. Du laugh a few times, and then she said.
“Let’s go, let’s go down first and talk.”
"good."
Then, Du Jingxiang helped her mother and got out of the car together. When she came down, she saw that the children had followed Tai Geer and stood in front of the door. They looked calmer than her mother. , so she didn’t say any more.
After a while, Mr. Li and his sons and sons-in-law were all seen walking over. Of course, among them was Shang Zhiping, who was now very high-spirited.
“General Gu, Mrs. Gu, you are finally here.”
“Hey, Mr. Du, Mrs. Du, and Mrs. He have also been rewarded.”
They were polite, and Gu Shaoyu and others naturally wouldn't take Qiao seriously, so they started talking.
“You’re welcome, Mr. Li, it’s not too late for us.”
“No, it doesn’t matter, it hasn’t even started yet, let’s talk about it first.”
The couple took the lead, and all the Du family members had to do was smile.
Ping'er was happy to see them and shouted a few times, then led them into the front hall. "Today's banquet is not divided into men and women, so everyone gathered in the front hall and waterside pavilion to enjoy it. The sixth uncle and sixth aunt took Grandpa Du and Grandma Du to go around and look around. Mother I’ll wait for you there.”
After saying this, he immediately pointed to the other side of the waterside pavilion. When his sister-in-law Liu and daughter-in-law Li saw Du Jingyi and the others, they also greeted the others and came over immediately with friendly smiles.
“My godfather and godmother, you’ve finally arrived. My mother-in-law has been saying this to me several times: why haven’t you arrived yet?”
Hearing this, Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were not polite and replied with a smile.
“I’m getting older and I’m afraid the road will be bumpy, so I asked the carriage to go slower. It turned out to be a bit late, but I kept you waiting for a long time.”
"No matter what happens, it will be fine when it comes."
Mrs. Li is pregnant now, but she looks normal, looks good, and looks good, so Mrs. Du and the others praised her when they saw her.
“Come on, come on, now it’s your father’s birthday wine. In a few days, it’s time to have your father’s full moon wine.”
Her words made everyone laugh. They all watched with crooked eyebrows as a new generation of newborns was about to arrive. There was a sense of excitement that everything was renewed over and over again.
Sister-in-law Mrs. Liu was talking, but she didn’t forget Du Jingxiang. She came over and spoke very cordially.
"It's rare for Mrs. He to come back. This time she has to stay longer. These are your son and daughter. They look really sensible."
He Qianyun and He Qianyan both stepped forward and specially saluted Mr. Liu.
She already liked such a half-year-old child, and because he was the grandson of the Du family, she also took a few glances at him.
"Okay, okay, you are all good boys. I will send you a greeting gift when I get back later. I will invite you to sit in the Duke's Mansion another day."
Du Jingxiang is still a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of his sister-in-law Liu.
Even though they have been relatives for many years, the two of them have never exchanged a few serious words, so they really don’t know how to deal with each other for a while.
Du Jingyi noticed his sister's restraint, so she helped him with a few roundabout sentences, and then changed the topic to Mr. Li, which made Du Jingxiang breathe a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Du also knew that her eldest daughter was not the kind of person who was good at dancing, so she also protected her. In such a short time, she got to know a lot of people. Unfortunately, there was no one that Du Jingxiang could really talk to. .
Looking at Du Jingyi and the ladies, talking about this and that, Du Jingxiang said with emotion next to Mrs. Du.
"It has to be Tangtang. She has been able to deal with people and things since she was a child. If such a blessing falls on me, I'm afraid it will be bad."
Mrs. Du was quite dumbfounded when she heard what she said.
Then he pointed in the direction of the children and said happily.
"You don't like to deal with people, but I think the two children are pretty good. With Brother Tai taking them to introduce them, I can get to know them quickly."
Du Jingxiang followed his mother's fingers and looked over. Sure enough, there were a few strange faces around them that he had never seen before. From the looks of it, he knew they were all gentlemen and young ladies.
She was naturally worried about whether the children would adapt, but she could also see that the Tai brothers were also protecting her, so those worries in her heart were relieved a lot. (End of chapter)
