Chapter 166 Get Support

Seeing his annoyed expression, Mrs. Xing stopped teasing him and just nodded and spoke.

"Why do you think I had to live in the general's mansion when I went north this time? Wasn't it just to see what your wife is like?"

"What does Aunt think?"

"Hasn't my expression been obvious enough? You and this young lady from the Du family should stay together for the rest of your lives and cause trouble to each other!"

As he said this, he pretended to be ferocious.

But in the end, he couldn't help laughing and then explained it carefully.

"From the beginning, when we knew that Madam Wei had arranged a marriage for you, we were not very supportive. Look at what kind of guy she arranged for you before? You even got a reputation as a wife-killer."

"I originally thought that if this one couldn't make it, then don't blame me for being a bad guy. But she turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Although she was born in a low-class family, it was obvious that her parents had brought her up very well."

As he spoke, there was a lot more appreciation in his eyes.

Shang Ji listened to others praising his wife, and honestly, he felt secretly happy.

"She is fair, open-minded, knowledgeable and interesting. Most importantly, she is sincere and kind to you. Even if my cousin is reborn, she will definitely be satisfied with such a daughter-in-law."

"As for Lang'er, she is probably just a young girl with a crush on someone. Since she was born, she has had many brothers and cousins ​​at home, but rarely sees young men from outside. So she thinks you are the best."

"Aren't we going to invite many families in Sui'an City to the banquet this time? When she sees the really good ones, your cousin will naturally be worthless. So, don't worry about it. I will talk to my aunt about this matter."

Mrs. Xing solved Shang Ji's dilemma.

He is willing to take care of his cousin Lang for the rest of his life as a brother, but if he is asked to have two wives, he won't do it!

And Du Jingyi would not allow it.

Therefore, in order to avoid separation from his wife and children, he had to make things clear early on.

But how to say it is another troublesome matter.

It's not good to go directly to Xu Laiyuan to confront my grandmother. How can my cousin Lang have the face to stay at home? So Shang Ji was in a dilemma.

After hearing his aunt's statement, he immediately bowed respectfully.

His cheerful expression returned to normal and he spoke with relief.

"Thank you, aunt."

Mrs. Xing smiled, and her eyes showed heartache for Shang Ji and relief that the storm had passed.

He patted his arm and said.

"Your wife is pregnant now, so she might be a little bit temperamental. You should be more tolerant and don't do anything to make her sad."

"Don't worry, auntie. She is the one I care about most now."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xing nodded with relief.

Time flies so fast. In the past, they were still worrying about who to marry in the future, but now they have reached the age where they have to take care of their children's problems.

The snowstorm stopped and came, and soon the entire general's mansion was covered in silver again.

In the flower hall.

Everyone gathered together, with smiles on their faces.

It's a rare opportunity to get together like this, so everyone is happy.

Sitting next to Old Madam Gu were Madam Xing and Shang Ji, but Gu Xiaolang, who was supposed to sit on her left, did not appear.

The third aunt explained somewhat awkwardly.

"That child said she was feeling unwell on the way here, and only fell ill after entering the mansion. Let's just enjoy the welcoming banquet and don't worry about her."

Du Jingyi had just woken up and was somewhat shocked to hear such words.

Why is my husband so quick?

Hurry and finish the matter?

But no matter what Gu Xiaolang's mood was, she, as the host, still had to take good care of him.

So he said with a smile.

"The cold wind in Sui'an City is biting. I think Cousin Lang has been attacked by an evil wind. Has the palace doctor examined her?"

"I've checked it out. It's nothing serious. They said it will get better after taking medicine for two days."

It was my fourth aunt who answered the question, and she smiled even more appropriately.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi did not ask any more questions and just gave Yingtao an order.

"Go tell Danruo to make some light meals and send them to Xu Laiyuan, so that cousin Lang won't be hungry."

"Yes, Madam."

Seeing her calm and composed look, Shang Ji couldn't help but remember that his cheeks were bruised from crying during lunch. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but he quickly suppressed it.

Seeing that no one spoke, Shang Ji picked up the wine glass, stood up and spoke to Madam Gu.

"Grandma, you have worked hard on the journey. I drink this cup to the fullest. I hope you can stay for a few more days so that I can show my filial piety to you."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In the past, he had a heavy burden on his shoulders, so he could not leave Cezhou or go to Jinling City.

But now that I have returned to Sui'an City, I will have at least several years of peaceful life. Naturally, I want to be more filial to Madam Gu.

Seeing his sincere tone, Madam Gu felt comforted.

"I'm afraid that I'll really stay here for three to five years, and then you'll think I'm talking too much. What shall I do?"

A funny remark made everyone laugh.

Old Madam Gu has never been a stern and serious elder, so the younger generations under her are also relaxed.

Even Shang Zhiping, who was always reserved, followed his sixth uncle's example and picked up the cup in front of him, but it was just filled with water.

He was a little nervous but still spoke bravely to Old Madam Gu.

"Great-grandmother, Ping'er also offers a toast to you. May you be healthy and live a long and happy life."

When he finished speaking, he couldn't help but licking his lips.

Seeing his nervousness, Madam Gu was quite considerate and immediately picked up a glass of wine, then drank it all in one gulp.

"My great-grandmother has taken Ping'er's words to heart. You must take good care of yourself and I will see you build a career and start a family."

Shang Zhiping is thirteen years old now. If he really wants to get married quickly, it can be done in three or two years.

However, Shang Ji doesn't want him to get married too early.

One is that they are not mature enough and cannot support their family.

Secondly, they may not be able to calm down and treat others well.

So, let’s build our career first.

Hearing this, Shang Zhiping smiled a little awkwardly, and sat down without saying anything more.

The others didn't bother to tease him, knowing that he was a sensitive person, they changed the subject.

This made Shang Zhiping feel a lot more relaxed.

Sister-in-law Liu was sitting next to him. Seeing his "huge" change, she felt very satisfied and said to Xing Zhao beside her with great gratitude.

"Thank you, cousin Zhao, for taking care of Ping'er along the way."

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? I have such a carefree personality, and Ping'er has taken care of me many times on the road, isn't it, Ping'er?"

When he asked this, Shang Zhiping laughed rarely.
