My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 328 Set a date

Xiaohong shook the two little bells on her head, took out two candies from her purse and handed them to Chengger and Yujie.

Seeing that they accepted it, she said, "Eat some candy and you won't be so sad. In the past, servants could only eat candy during the New Year and other festivals. When we came to the upper room, the old lady's teeth were not very good, so the candy was given to us little maids. If you are unhappy and miss home, just take two pieces to sweeten your mouth."

"I only thought about going to Wutong Garden before. There are many vacancies there, and I can get a raise in monthly salary, so I can send more money home. I didn't expect you to come... Now you are going to live in Master Cheng's house, how can the old lady and the marquis be at ease? Even if Master Cheng didn't mention it at the beginning, the old lady would have asked me and Sister Zihe to go with you to take care of you."

Cheng Ge'er snorted and put the candy into his mouth.

Yu Jie'er also put it into her mouth.

Xiao Hong smiled and took out a piece from her purse and put it in her mouth to suck, saying incoherently: "Don't cry after eating candy, everyone likes smiling people. When I first came here, I missed home so much that I cried, and Rong Madam said that if I cried all day, the old lady would think I didn't like serving her, so she asked me to go home. Master Cheng, Miss Yu, we have to go anyway, so why not live happily in Master Cheng's house?"

Before Cheng Ge'er could say anything, the curtain outside rang, and soon a hurried sound of footsteps was heard. Rong Mama hurried in and said with a smile, "Xiaohong, you are here. Come out with Master Cheng and Miss Yu to meet the guests."

Cheng Ge'er asked in surprise, "Madame Rong, who do you want to see?"

Aunt Rong smiled and said, "Master Cheng and his family are here. Madam has ordered people to paint and repair the courtyard over there. We can move in at an auspicious time in the next two days. They are discussing the date for the family recognition banquet with the old lady. Don't you want to go and see them?"

Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er had no choice but to follow them to meet the person.

It was the first time for Dai to see the two children. She had heard Gu Jingcheng speak highly of them, but when she saw them in person, she felt that it was too early to be happy.

These two people look difficult to get along with, no wonder they can't live in peace in the Marquis' Mansion.

Dai grumbled in her heart, but her face remained kind and friendly.

Gu Jingcheng stroked the two children's heads with a smile and said a few affectionate words to them. Old Madam Gu was sitting at the top and she also smiled happily when she saw it.

Cheng Ge'er took Xiaohong's words to heart and tried his best to deal with the couple in front of him. He sat for a while and then was taken out.

Madam Gu and Dai set a date for the family recognition banquet. Gu Jingcheng said, "Aunt, I'm going to talk to the Marquis."

Madam Gu said, "Go ahead. I'll have a good chat with your wife. After you've seen the third child, you can go by yourself. I'll send someone to take her back."

Dai smiled and said, "Old Madam, how many things do you want to tell me? I am panicking."

Gu Jingcheng responded with a smile, stood up, said a few more words, and then walked out.

Madam Gu asked Dai to sit in front of her, and took her hand and said, "They are rough men. They spend all day outside entertaining and handling official business. How can they understand the affairs of the inner house? I see that you are serious about raising these two children and planning for your later life. Some things should be made clear in advance."

Dai asked with a dull face: "Aunt, is what you want to say the same as what the Marquis said? If there is any arrangement, it is better to tell me directly. I can bear it." Old Madam Gu asked: "What did Yuan'er say?"

Dai explained everything in detail, and Madam Gu smiled and said, "This child is very careful and has thought everything through. I think their mother will cause trouble sooner or later. You are someone who has experienced it, so you naturally know the pros and cons of this."

Dai nodded, "Your nephew was also a soldier in the battlefield. Even if we women haven't seen it, we have heard a lot of stories. If men are fighting outside, how can we women support the family like weaklings? Don't be afraid of being laughed at by your aunt. I have always been strong-willed, but the only disadvantage in this life is that I don't have children."

Madam Gu said, "That's good. The third child is still a little soft-hearted. I'm afraid this matter will have to happen to you. These two children were spoiled in the past. The third child received the kindness of their father and has been raised as his own child. Who knew that their mother would have other thoughts, and finally everyone was embarrassed. If Zhao didn't come to cause trouble, it would be good and everyone would be happy, but I think this woman is ruthless and I'm afraid she won't give up. The sooner we find that woman, the sooner we will feel comfortable. The Marquis's Mansion will never treat you and your wife unfairly."

Dai smiled and said, "What are you talking about, aunt? We are already grateful that we can move to live next to the Marquis' Mansion. Without children, our life in the ninth room is not smooth. To be honest, aunt, when I think about moving here, living in a spacious courtyard and taking care of my own affairs, I feel much more relaxed. I don't have to feel uncomfortable watching my sisters-in-law show off their children and feel inferior to them in every way."

Madam Gu patted her hands and sighed, "Then I'm relieved. You should be careful in everything and don't let them find out. You will have to bear with me until these two children settle down."

Dai said, "Who knows if this is our destiny? I've heard the old people say that children raise children. They are a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. This is a good omen. Maybe they can bring me a child, a boy and a girl, so that our master will have an heir."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "It would be great if that were the case. You are still young, so don't worry. As long as you are destined to have a child, you can still have a child at the age of fifty."

Then he told some stories of women who prayed for children and got them to comfort Dai.

Dai felt happy after hearing this.

After returning home, I found that Gu Jingcheng had already returned and was personally instructing the servants to pack up their things.

There were several uncles and sisters-in-law standing nearby, all asking about the courtyard in the mansion.

Dai then remembered that she had been so busy chatting with Old Madam Gu that she hadn't thought of visiting the new house.

Gu Jingcheng smiled happily and said, "Very good. You know that my aunt is generous and my wife is thoughtful. The house has been painted and a new pond has been dug in the yard. We are waiting for us to see what to raise. The wooden bridge and pavilion are all ready. Even the window screens in the house have been pasted up."

It made others jealous.

Dai was secretly proud and said with a smile: "After we move in, I will invite everyone to come over and have a seat. When you visit the old lady in the Marquis's Mansion in the future, you can also come and sit in our room."

Several of her sisters-in-law who usually liked to tease her in a veiled way now looked sour.

After everyone left, Dai repeated what Old Madam Gu had said to Gu Jingcheng.

Gu Jingcheng smiled and said, "The Marquis has also told me the truth. Among the people who came with the child, there is a woman who might be a fake. The Marquis has ordered that they are preparing to catch a big fish. I wanted to hide it from you, but I was afraid that you couldn't keep it secret."
