My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Summer sleep was light, and perhaps Du Jingyi's laughter was a bit loud, so the two children were woken up. When they woke up, they looked outside with sleepy eyes, and Na Jin'er asked lazily. new

"Is mother outside?"

The two people who were talking in low voices outside heard it and immediately walked over with the corners of their mouths raised.

"Not only me, but also your aunt."

"Is aunt here too?"

"Well, did Sister Yan sleep comfortably?"

Du Jingyi came out from behind. When he looked at Sister Yan, his expression was a little playful. He didn't look like a mother of four children at all, so Sister Yan was a little overjoyed.

"Why are you here, aunt? But you have something to do with me?"

"Well, someone from the family has come, and they say they will take you to the new house to see them. By the end of the month, you can start moving. By then, you can come to the General's Mansion to play with Jin'er, and you will be closer. .”

Sister Yan had always known that the family was about to move. On the contrary, Jin'er next to her became a little excited after hearing the good news and quickly asked Du Jingyi.

"Aunt, can I go?"

"Well, you have to ask your cousin Yan about this. If she agrees, then my aunt will take you to see it together!"

Hearing this, Jin'er took Sister Yan's hand and prepared to act coquettishly, but before she could say anything, Sister Yan raised her hands in surrender and said to her.

"Go, go, go. How can you not go? When my yard is moved, I invite you to come and stay!"

Jin'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, which made Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaochun laugh non-stop while hiding their handkerchiefs.

So the two of them got up quickly, dressed up, and went to the new courtyard where the He family rested together.

Naturally, this courtyard cannot be compared with the General's Mansion, but it is better than it is clean and elegant. The masons have been renovating it for a while according to the drawings given by the Suzhou master. No, every corner is brand new.

And because it was summer, everywhere was covered with green trees and full of life, which made Jin'er very happy as soon as she walked in.

Not only her, but also the two elders of the He family also like it.

To be able to buy this house at this price and repair it like this is indeed good luck for the He family.

Stopping and stopping, Du Jingxiang took everyone in a circle.

Brother Yun didn't follow him because he was in school, but the vegetation in his yard was the most lush, and the window where he usually studied was also covered with flower waterfalls. Not only him, but also Du Jingyi came to see it. They all felt relaxed and happy.

"Sister, she has good taste and the decoration is really nice."

"It's not all my fault. I decided on the furnishings in the yard after asking my mother and mother-in-law. Both of them manage the house better than me, so that's why we have the effect we have today."

Half of the servants here were moved by the He family to Xinping Prefecture, and some were left at home to guard the old house. Those who could come over were trustworthy and often used, so they were very handy.

What was still missing were some handymen and errand boys. Mrs. Du arranged for her to buy a new batch from her grandmother, and now they are all settled in the yard.

"The auspicious day for moving is the 27th of July. I thought that after the Hungry Ghost Festival, I would start preparing to move things. On the 27th, I would open fire in the new house. When the time comes, Invite everyone to come and make the house more popular."

new

"To increase your popularity, don't worry. There are more than 20 people in the General's Mansion. They all come and fill up your yard."

Du Jingxiang touched his round belly and said with loving eyes.

"Looking at the days, this child will end up in a new house. It's also good that he will have a new house to live in when he is born. He is a smart boy!"

Du Jingxiang is much more relaxed now than when she first arrived in Sui'an City, so she speaks and does things much more neatly. Seeing her new look, the Du family and his wife are also happy.

"Okay, I'll all come and make your yard more popular when the time comes."

After looking at the house, on the way back, Sister Yan naturally wanted to follow Du Jingxiang and the others. 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.

While the carriage and horse were driving, Jin'er held her chin with her little hands. Although she was small, she seemed to be worried about something, which made Du Jingyi a little funny, and then asked.

"So reluctant to part with your cousin Yan?"

"Of course, all the brothers and sisters in the family are as bad as the others. Only cousin Yan is always fragrant. Of course, my aunt and mother are also fragrant."

Boys are very active, and they are at an age where they need to learn martial arts. Naturally, they are sweaty and smelly every day, so it is normal for Jin'er not to like them.

"Don't worry, maybe a little sister will be born in a few days. When she grows up, you won't just be your cousin as a playmate."

"Is Auntie talking about the little sister in Auntie He's belly?"

"Um."

Gu Xiaochun was a little confused and asked quickly.

"Has it been diagnosed? Is it a sister?"

"The family specially invited Dr. Chen to diagnose his pulse. There is no mistake."

"Hey, I always want to have another soft and cuddly daughter, but for some reason, after I gave birth to Brother Wen, there was no news about my belly."

"It's simple. When Xia Meng comes back from Quanzhou, let her show it to you. She is top-notch in this area and can cure all difficult diseases."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaochun also looked hopeful, and then asked.

"It's already July now, and I haven't heard any news from her. Do I really have to wait until autumn to come back? I heard from my aunt that the marriage has been fully prepared, and I will wait for the two of them to come back to set a date, but this day Don’t we have to check things out in advance? Will it be too late by then?”

"Don't worry, with my aunt's quick temper, if the two of them come back today, I'm afraid they will be allowed to worship and enter the bridal chamber tomorrow."

"This is true."

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 come back from outside. In such weather, she was sweating. She fanned herself left and right with a fan. When she saw Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaochun When I arrived, I came over.

"Why did you go out on such a hot day?"

"Sister's house has been decorated. We are invited to go over and have a look. It is scheduled to be the day of the 27th, and Auntie and I will go there together!"

"They moved quickly. If the house we picked is suitable for people to live in, it will be winter at least. But I wrote to Zhao'er and asked him, but he couldn't decide on a date for his return. It's really annoying."
