Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 328

It was a new era and new atmosphere, so everyone was anxious. It was not a bad thing to know more news and make more friends at the time. 

So they didn’t stop them, and of course they couldn’t stop them if they wanted to. From the previous dynasty to the present, the folk customs had always been open, and their wife’s family’s lintel was not low, so they all had their own confidence. 

Therefore, Mr. Li said, “Forget it, Elegant Hall is also considered an elegant place. My wife is just talking with her friends and playing chess. It’s not a bad thing.” 

Mr. Zhang He also said, “That’s right, my wife has been in charge of common affairs for many years, and the burden on her body is not light. It is time to relax.” 

Wu Qingyi listened to them and realized that he had to “credit” Gu Yin for such treatment. 

After telling her the ins and outs with a smile, he said, “I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup (love potion) was poured into everyone.” 

Not only for those females, but also for him. He hadn’t seen her for many days, and he had her in his heart. 

Gu Yin couldn’t help laughing and said, “It really has nothing to do with me. Although I invited Second Madam Wen and the others, they invited more people privately. As for why everyone likes it so much, probably because there is no such place nowadays, the only thing is naturally more attractive to them. Moreover, they had suffered so many trivial matters in the past, and it is rare for the ladies to find a suitable place to rest, so naturally they go there when they are free.” 

While she explained, Wu Qingyi just looked at her with a smile. 

Gu Yin’s face turned red, and she said angrily, “I’m talking to you! Are you listening to me?” 

Wu Qingyi frowned and said strangely, “What? Maybe it’s because I drank too much ecstasy soup, and my five senses are out of tune recently. ” 

Gu Yin avoided him and went to find Mrs. Wang. 

Early in the morning on New Year’s Eve, Gu Yin was awakened by the sound of Gu Ye and Wu’an setting off firecrackers. 

The two little kids liked to put decorations in the past, but before, their family background was ordinary, and those were only put on a string or two during the festivals.

That time was the first new year after the reunion of the family, Wu Qingyi also took care of them. The day before, they bought a lot of firecrackers. 

When Gu Yin heard the movement, they had been there for a while, and when they went out, the yard was foggy. 

They even got a lot of firecrackers at their feet! 

Gu Yin stuttered, “Why did you buy so much? Are you not afraid of blowing up our house?” 

Wu Qingyi, who had bought countless firecrackers, took a step forward, stood beside Gu Yin and said with a frown, “Yes, why did you buy so much?”

He bought those, not to mention that most people couldn’t buy so much. 

Gu Yin beat him with a smile, and the two children smiled too. 

Wu’an also smiled and recited a poem he had just learned, “Firecrackers say goodbye to the old year, the old year has passed, and we have ushered in a new year. At this moment, we can already feel the breath of spring, feel the warmth between heaven and earth, feel warm in body and heart ..” 

Gu Ye was afraid that his mother would continue to talk, thinking of diverting his mother’s attention, he clapped his hands exaggeratedly and said, “Wu’an recited a good poem!” 

Gu Yin patted him on the back in a funny way, and asked him, “Did you understand what he said?” 

Gu Ye said with a smile, “I guess it’s a good thing to say on the new year.” 

Gu Yin said, “You will start studying at the beginning of the new year, and then you will know what it means.” 

Gu Ye’s smile collapsed all of a sudden, and he muttered in a low voice, “It’s New Year’s Eve!” 

Gu Yin couldn’t help laughing. “Studying is a good thing, why has it become a topic that can’t be mentioned during the New Year according to you?” 

Gu Ye was already six years old. When he was in Hanshan Town earlier, Gu Yin just wanted him to study.

But at the beginning of the new year, the dynasty changed, the abolished emperor took her to be a cook and then she escaped the storm, and then they went back to Batou Village to set up graves. The family went to Beijing after the reunion. It took a month or two just on the road. In addition, she got busy with opening a new store, which added up to a total of one year.

Although Gu Yin didn’t expect her child to be promoted to rank by the imperial examination, she still hoped that he could read and study wisely. 

Seeing his small face, Gu Yin reassured him, “Didn’t you say that it’s easy to be fooled by people when one is illiterate? Won’t you write stories next year? If you want to write it, my Xiao Ye is so smart, it won’t take long for you. At that time, the outline of the story won’t be written by Wu’an.” 

Gu Ye smiled and said with a nod, “Yes, not only do I want to write it, but I’m also the owner of Gu Shipping Company. I can’t be illiterate all the time.” 

After a while of laughing, Mrs. Wang let everyone into the room and ate sweet dumplings together first. 

The dumplings were full and round, white and fat, soft and glutinous, filled with sesame, peanuts and other fillings, and with a lot of sugar and lard, it was very sweet and delicious. 

Eating glutinous rice balls and looking at the family, old and young, Mrs. Wang sighed again, saying, “How dare I imagine such a good day before?”

Gu Ye snuggled up to Mrs. Wang’s side and asked, “Why don’t you dare to think about it? The good days of grandma are still to come and I will let you have a better life in the future.” 

His sweet mouth could coax. Mrs. Wang smiled so much that one couldn’t even see her eyes. Although she felt that it was a child talk – she was already the lady of the country, how could she go to the next level? But she still hugged him and nodded with a smile, “Okay, then I must work hard to live a long life, waiting for our Ye’s filial piety!” 

After speaking, Mrs. Wang gave the two children New Year’s money, a red envelope with a hundred taels of silver. 

“Grandma, you’re the best. How can there be such a good, young and beautiful grandma?” Gu Ye’s small mouth was full of honey, and all kinds of nice words jumped out like it didn’t cost money, coaxing Mrs. Wang to smile all day long.
