My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Luo Yi and the children didn't have much understanding of this banquet. They just thought that outsiders were coming to visit Gu Jiulang, so the family wanted to treat guests to dinner, so they were happy to help.

The sixth day of September.

Early that morning, Luo Yi started fighting with Danruo in the kitchen.

She was originally a hard-working person who couldn't rest. She finally found a place in the house where she could be useful, so naturally she would not let it go. Therefore, she did whatever work was available, and she didn't dislike it at all.

During the process, Dan Ruo and Cai'er tried to persuade her several times, but she acted as if they couldn't hear them and were immersed in cooking. The two of them looked at the weather and it was still early, so they didn't say much.

After Du Jingyi got up, he and Gu Shaoyu dressed up carefully. When they sat down to have breakfast, they saw a plate of cakes that they had never seen before, and asked suspiciously.

"Danruo is researching new dishes again?"

"Madam, you don't know that Madam Ninth got up early to make this. Now she is still in the kitchen and refuses to leave."

"Ah? Still in the kitchen now? No, no, she is also the protagonist today. I have to dress up early to go find her."

Luo Yi's situation is even more "clear" than hers. She still has family and money to support her, but Luo Yi has nothing, so it will be even more troublesome to face those ladies.

So Du Jingyi thought that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, so they should always dress appropriately.

Who knows, just as he was about to get up, Shuxiu came in to report that Luo Yi was here.

"Please invite the nine younger siblings to come in quickly!"

When Luo Yi walked in, she was still wearing her old clothes. Although they were simple, they were clean and easy to work with.

As for the beautiful clothes Du Jingyi prepared for her, they were nice to look at, but they were too expensive and would become wrinkled if she moved them casually. Therefore, Luo Yi didn't like them.

Seeing her outfit, Du Jingyi couldn't help but frowned, but for fear of making Luo Yi sad, he quickly calmed down his expression and turned to admonishment.

"Ninth brother and sister, you should hurry up and change your clothes. The guests will be coming soon. I will introduce you to you carefully, and you will gradually become familiar with them."

Cai'er told Luo Yi what Du Jingyi said, but Luo Yi shook her head and started talking to Du Jingyi. This was the first time she said so many words, so Du Jingyi was also very confused. She said some What.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Cai'er would look a little embarrassed.

Even if Du Jingyi couldn't hear it, he could guess part of it, so he asked first.

"Mrs. Ninth, don't you want to see the guests?"

Cai'er nodded and then said.

"Mrs. Ninth said that she has a dull temperament and does not understand the language. Even when she meets those ladies, she doesn't know what to say or do. She is afraid of losing face to the house, so it is better not to show up. She is coming back with Master Ninth She is here to take care of Master Jiu, not Mrs. Jiu, so she doesn’t need to show her face in front of others. She would rather help in the kitchen and cook a few more dishes so that everyone can have a taste of her craftsmanship."

"The ninth younger brother and sister like to cook. In the future, just go over and discuss with Danruo. In such a situation, the ninth younger brother will appear, and the children will also appear. If she is not here, it will always be inappropriate."

Cai'er repeated Du Jingyi's words to Luo Yi.

After hearing this, she looked a little embarrassed. She was not a bold person to begin with, but now she looked helpless just standing there.

Du Jingyi didn't have to ask her to be good at dancing, but this was the first time the four of them in the family appeared in front of everyone. If Luo Yi didn't show up, I'm afraid outsiders wouldn't necessarily guess, so Du Jingyi naturally hopes that Luo Yi or Can go.

"Do you have to go?"

"It better be."

"If I don't go, will it have a big impact on Master Jiu and the children?"

Du Jingyi glanced at Gu Shaoyu, and he didn't know what to say. Logically speaking, husband and wife were one, so her presence was certainly a good thing, but if she didn't appear, it didn't seem to have much impact.

Just when she was in trouble, Gu Jiulang got the news and rushed over.

First, he nodded to the couple, then looked at Luo Yi, and began to communicate in sign language.

"Today's dinner was specially prepared for us by my brother and sister-in-law. If you don't go, our family will not be short of one person. Don't think you will embarrass us. You are always the best!"

Luo Yi was moved by these words, so he put aside the discomfort and worries, nodded, and then followed Gu Jiulang back to pack up. Seeing this, Du Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

After they left, Gu Shaoyu said calmly.

"Actually, if she really doesn't want to show up, there's no need to force it."

"I'm probably getting older, so I have some worldly views on things. The ninth brother and sister can follow their own tempers and not go, but the ninth wife of the Gu family can't. If today's occasion is a family banquet, then she will not attend. No one would say a word, but this was a wedding banquet for the ninth brother. It would be inappropriate for her to be away. Besides, she has two children. They will also get married in the future. If the future in-laws know that the ninth brother and sister are like this Due to the situation, I am worried that they will have other thoughts."

Her words made Gu Shaoyu silent. Thinking about it, it still made sense.

The reason why a family like theirs has reached this stage is because they have a good reputation outside and have rules inside, so they can stay in control.

Therefore, Gu Shaoyu naturally supported Du Jingyi's decision.

"What Madam said is, let's eat first, we will be busy later."

"Um."

Du Jingyi didn't eat much to begin with, and after today's little incident, she even had no appetite. However, Gu Shaoyu still forced her to eat half a bowl of fish porridge and three to five steamed dumplings. At least she was full of food. .

After the couple had a simple breakfast, they got up and went to the front hall to wait. After a while, everyone arrived.

In today's scene, everyone in the Gu family is well-groomed, the elders are graceful and generous, and the children are energetic and lively.

But the most eye-catching thing is the Gu Jiulang family. Originally they were the protagonists today, so Du Jingyi also put a lot of thought into their clothes.

Both Gu Jiulang and his wife were wearing sapphire blue robes, which were carefully embroidered with the patterns of gourds, longevity and melons, which was very appropriate for the occasion.

Nian Jin and Nian Ling have been raised in the Gu family for this month. They look a little fairer than when they first came here, but compared with Jin'er and the others who are pampered and pampered every day, the difference can still be seen.

Therefore, what she wore today was clothes that did not show off her fair skin. Instead, she focused on being generous and decent, so even if she was not as delicate and delicate as Jin'er, she could still show that they were treated specially.
