“It’s already not bad that you can pass at your age. Don’t belittle yourself.
“However, you have to work harder in the future and strive to be a top scholar as soon as possible.”
“Thank you for your kind words.” Gu Chenglin replied.
The patriarch then asked about the situation of the siblings, and then everyone chatted for a while longer.
Soon, dinner was served. After all the dishes were served, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Fang left.
Gu Chengrui saw that they were going to take Xiao Douzi away and said, “Auntie, let Xiao Douzi stay. A boy will need to grow. It’s good for him to meet some people.”
“Yes, yes, let Xiao Douzi stay. He won’t be shy around everyone in the future.” The patriarch looked at Gu Chenglin, who was magnanimous and not restrained at all. He waved at Xiao Douzi and arranged for him to sit between him and Gu Chengen.
The little boy shyly stared at Gu Chengrui and the others. He grabbed Gu Chengen’s sleeve and leaned against him.
The patriarch looked at his meek appearance. He made up his mind to bring him out to meet people more often in the future. He could no longer stay in the hands of a woman.
At this moment, Mrs. Bai came in with a plate of washed wine cups. She placed it on the table with a bang, then picked up her son and turned to walk out.
Mrs. Wang and the patriarch’s faces darkened. To put it bluntly, this banquet was held for Gu Chengsi and their family, yet she was giving the guests a hard time.
Mrs. Fang saw this and quickly went forward. After distributing the wine glasses to them, she saw Gu Chengxi and Gu Chenglin and asked, “Chengxi, Chenglin, do you want to drink?”
“It’s fine, cousin-in-law. I’ll just drink some tea later.” Gu Chenglin laughed.
Gu Chengxi nodded.
“Alright, I’ll make you a pot of tea later.” After Mrs. Fang finished speaking, she opened the wine that Gu Chengrui had brought and poured it into a pot before pouring a cup for them separately.
After filling the wine pot, she turned around and cooked a pot of sour plum soup for the two of them.
Mrs. Wang’s expression became a little better, and then she left with Mrs. Fang.
“Come, come. This is the roast chicken that Chengrui brought back from Hongyun Restaurant in town. Let’s eat it first before drinking.” After Gu Chengen finished speaking, he gave the four drumsticks to Gu Chengrui and his brothers.
As for the three of them and Xiao Douzi, they each got a chicken wing.
The patriarch smiled and picked it up. “Yes, everyone’s been busy for the entire afternoon. Let’s eat something first before drinking.”
After finishing a chicken wing, he raised his glass and said, “Come, Chengrui. Uncle will toast you. Thank you for taking care of my two sons this time.”
“Uncle, you’re too polite. You’ve helped us a lot in the past. We’re all family, so there’s no need for you to thank us.
“Let’s toast and wish Chengsi a prosperous career in the future.” Gu Chengrui raised his glass.
“Yes, yes, congratulations on becoming a scholar, Brother Chengsi. Please give me your guidance in the future.” Gu Chengxi echoed.
Everyone followed suit and raised their glasses.
“You brothers should get along well; support and supervise each other.” The patriarch smiled and blessed them.
Everyone quickly responded and drank.
While they were eating, the patriarch told them about the situation in the clan and emphasized the point of unity more than once.
An hour and a half had passed since the meal started.
After sending Gu Chengrui and the others off, the patriarch looked at Gu Chengsi. “You’d better take care.
“If she’s still so impolite and can’t be seen on the stage, then don’t bring her along when you take office in the future. She’ll ruin things for you..”
