Chapter 108 Madam Xing
Sure enough, before Du Jingyi opened his mouth, he heard Xue Niang shout excitedly.
"Aunt, you're here."
aunt?
Du Jingyi quickly recalled the contents of the booklet in his mind and soon made the connection.
If nothing unexpected happens, the person in front of me should be a relative of the Gu family.
Actually, she and her mother-in-law, Madam Gu, should be cousins, so Xueniang calls her aunt.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xing family, Mrs. Xing.
So she and her sister-in-law Liu bowed to Mrs. Xing and said.
"Meet my aunt."
"Okay, everyone, get up. We are a family, there is no need to be so formal."
When the eldest sister-in-law Liu saw Mrs. Xing, there was a hint of genuine joy in her eyes.
After all, this was the first person who took the initiative to greet them today.
Ever since the death of my mother-in-law and the sacrifice of the Gu family, few people have paid attention to their lineage.
But Mrs. Xing was different. Every once in a while she would send someone from Jinling City to deliver some things.
Therefore, sister-in-law Liu respected and appreciated her very much.
Mrs. Xing first looked around at her sister-in-law Liu and Xuenniang. Seeing that they both looked well, she felt relieved.
Then he looked Du Jingyi up and down, with an expression of admiration in his eyes.
"She is a marked beauty, and she looks in good shape."
Du Jingyi showed it to her openly, but she didn't expect to come to such a conclusion.
It's quite funny.
But when I thought about the three young ladies who came before me, I suddenly understood why she said that.
So, he didn't reply, but just smiled faintly.
Let him look at it.
Mrs. Xing was very pleased with his calmness. She thought that such a good child and their Shao Yu were a perfect match made in heaven.
It’s better not to mention the past.
Mrs. Xing never had a good face towards Mrs. Wei, but it seemed that this matchmaking was done quite well.
Therefore, he said to Du Jingyi with a smile.
"I heard from Madam Dou that the General's Mansion is almost finished being renovated. When are we going to move?"
"On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the general and I have already discussed this matter. We will move over there and eat Laba porridge together then."
"The day is good, please leave me a message when the time comes. This time I only brought Zhao'er with me, so it would be lonely for us to spend the holiday alone. It would be better for us to join in the fun at your place."
Upon hearing this, Xueniang immediately expressed her happiness.
"Brother Zhao is back too?"
"Yes, that brat! If I hadn't threatened him with conditions, I'm afraid he wouldn't be willing to come back with me. He always said that he was used to living in Jinling City and didn't like the climate in the north."
The Hedao Transport Commissioner's Office was located in Jinling City.
Therefore, the Xing family also has its roots in Jinling City, and is a family that is well matched to the Gu family.
There are many children in the family, and the family is prosperous.
Sister-in-law Liu couldn't help laughing and asked.
"I wonder what method did my aunt use to subdue my cousin Zhao? To make him follow me obediently?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Xing smiled even more proudly.
"In fact, there was no other way. I just told him that Shao Yu was back, and he naturally followed me north."
After saying this, everyone laughed.
After hearing this, Du Jingyi began to understand a little.
It seems that this cousin Zhao still has admiration for her husband.
Seeing that she was silent, sister-in-law Liu thought that she didn't understand, so she explained.
"Cousin Zhao once served in the military with my grandfather in Cezhou for several years, so he has a good relationship with our Liu Lang."
"I see. Then Auntie and cousin Zhao, please wait a little longer. I will personally come to your house to give you an invitation and invite you to come and have a small gathering."
Anyway, there were many courtyards in the general's mansion, so Du Jingyi reserved three courtyards for entertaining guests, and they were all renovated very comfortably.
Therefore, even if the two of them want to stay for a while, it would be fine.
Mrs. Xing was very pleased to see that she knew when to act.
She has seen all kinds of women in the back house, so her eyes are still very vicious.
But when I think of my cousin who passed away young, I feel it is a bit regrettable.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The huge house, husband, glory, and even the roads paved in the past have become other people's property, which is really infuriating.
Therefore, while talking to them, he also felt displeased with the women of the Wei family who were "showing off" there.
Those who came to the Wei family today were not only the three men of the Wei family, but also Mr. Wei’s wife and Wei Jialian.
Together with Mrs. Wei and Silang's wife, their family was reunited.
Those who flatter others are usually on good terms with them, or are trying to get close to them, so naturally their words are sweet.
Among them, Lady Chang, the wife of the Chief Justice, had the closest relationship with the women of the Wei family, so she was naturally the first to be praised.
"It's because the Wei family has good feng shui that they were able to raise a lovely girl like Jialian. She has a good family background, good looks, and great talent. If my son wasn't too old, I would have wanted to marry someone of higher status. Now I don't know which kid will get the chance."
When she spoke, many ladies around her followed suit.
“That’s right…”
When the eldest lady of the Wei family heard others praising her little daughter, she naturally smiled from ear to ear and said in a pretentious and modest manner.
"Madam, please stop praising her. I think your Third Miss is also very good. She is just not old enough now. In three to five years, she will definitely be one of the most noble ladies in Sui'an City."
The women sat together and chatted about daily life, and all they talked about was their husbands' official positions and their children's futures.
Therefore, to Wei Jialian's ears, these words just sounded like the same old things over and over again.
But she still never got tired of listening to it, so there was a hint of uncontrollable pride in her eyes and brows.
Looking around, the ladies present were indeed no match for her.
In fact, in terms of status, she is far from a princess or a county lady.
However, those who are of the same age as her either have a worse family background than her, or are not as favored as her, or are not as good-looking as her.
Comparing with others in groups of three or two, she really stood out.
Therefore, after listening to this for many years, the pheasant felt that he was a phoenix, and naturally became a little arrogant.
But to the outside world, you still have to pretend to be the right person.
Therefore, not many people know her true personality.
Listening to the ladies' gossip, Mrs. Wei also looked at Wei Jialian with loving eyes.
She liked Wei Jialian even more than her own daughter and daughter-in-law.
Apart from the fact that Wei Jialian is sweet-talking and can make people happy, the most important reason is that her eyes and eyebrows are very similar to those of the young Mrs. Wei.
To be honest, her daughter, Aunt Shang, was not very similar to her, and because she got married early, her relationship with her daughter gradually faded.
Shang Zhiyin is her granddaughter and is not too old.
But there are still some differences between a granddaughter and a niece, so among this generation, her love for Wei Jialian is very obvious.
