Chapter 173 Visiting the Sick

After Du Jingyi talked about the matter with her husband and Madam Gu, she no longer worried about it.

In her opinion, the affection of this cousin Lang for him was nothing more than a little attachment of a young girl.

Therefore, she did not think that this cousin Lang was an enemy.

He also tried his best to show friendship. After all, the friendship between the Shang and Gu families was deep.

The most important thing is that we still have more than half a year to spend together, and we will see each other every day.

We can't stop seeing each other forever just because of such a small thing.

Du Jingyi spoke frankly, so the third aunt had no choice but to accept it.

It was Madam Gu who said this calmly.

"When Doctor Wang came to see me, he also checked on Lang'er. After all, he is a young man, so his body will recover quickly. He will be able to meet people on the day of the banquet."

After she said this, everyone present understood it except her sister-in-law Liu and Xue Niang.

Gu Xiaolang can have a daughter's temper and just vent it for a few days.

But it is not possible to keep hiding and refusing to come out to meet each other.

Otherwise, this would not only be a slap in the face of the General's Mansion, but would also make things difficult for the Gu family.

Hearing this, my third aunt immediately smiled and replied.

"What mother-in-law said is true. I think she is better now than when she first came."

"That's good."

Chatting and laughing, everyone had finished viewing the scenery of the snow piles and ice sculptures in advance.

Ever since Gu's family came, they have been eating together.

Therefore, the flower hall became the most lively place and was always filled with people.

There are three more people today, namely Mr. Du, Mrs. Du and He Shilin.

The two elders of the He family were not of sufficient status to pay a visit to Old Madam Gu, so they did not go together.

Du Jingxiang was taking good care of herself at home after her baby was born, and was having a great time playing with Yun Ge'er.

The people outside didn't know the truth. They just heard that Mrs. Gu had a convulsion and rushed to visit her.

Only when he saw that Madam Gu's face was rosy and she was in high spirits did he feel relieved.

However, this friendship was much better to Old Madam Gu than the hypocritical friendship of the Duke's Mansion, so she replied with a smile.

"It was just that I was not in good condition for a while, so I got a little sick. Doctor Wang was very good at bringing me back to health. I got much better after taking a few doses of medicine. I'm sorry that my parents-in-law were concerned about me. It's just a small matter, a small matter."

The Du couple did not expect that Mrs. Gu would be so approachable.

They had thought that people of such status would at least behave in a reserved manner. The two of them had even prepared themselves for the situation, thinking that even if they were embarrassed, they would not take it to heart.

Who would have thought that she would be surprised by the kind old lady in front of her, so Mrs. Du smiled more sincerely than usual.

"What are you talking about, old lady? You are the backbone of the General's Mansion. In the past, I was always worried that Jingyi was too young to handle the situation in the General's Mansion. Now that you are here, it is a great thing!"

"Mrs. Du is so sweet, but what she said is the truth. No matter where my aunt is, she is always the backbone of the place, right?"

Hearing Mrs. Xing's praise, Mrs. Gu's eyes and eyebrows were all smiles.

Then he pretended to be angry and said.

"This girl, she's already old and still teases me, an old woman. Shao Yu is doing a good job as the daughter-in-law of the general's mansion. It's all thanks to my mother-in-law, who taught her daughter so well. So I came here to enjoy her as a guest."

These words made everyone happy.

Because Mr. Du and He Shilin are here today, we have two tables.

Shang Ji was the leader, and he brought Xing Zhao and Shang Zhiping to greet Mr. Du and He Shilin.

On the other side, Madam Gu was the most respected person. Du Jingyi sat on her right, inviting everyone to have dinner together.

Similarly, Gu Xiaolang still did not show up.

Mrs. Du didn't know that she had such a childhood sweetheart cousin with her, so she didn't ask much and just chatted with everyone at the table with a smile.

Mrs. Du is a straightforward, open-minded person, and she speaks very appropriately.

Therefore, singing the same tune with Mrs. Xing kept the atmosphere from becoming dull.

In particular, Old Madam Gu was amused by the two of them and laughed non-stop, even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became much deeper.

At the table on the other side, Mr. Du could smell the flavor of the food he was eating.

"It was made by the cook I sent here, right?"

"My father-in-law is amazing, it was definitely her who did it!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Du said with a smile.

"I'm not bragging, but I put a lot of effort into trying to get her home."

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

Hearing this, although Xing Zhao met Mr. Du for the first time, he spoke without any shyness.

"Uncle Du is so generous that he gave up such a good cook. If it were me, I would not give up so easily. At least I would ask cousin Shao Yu to give me something in exchange!"

Xing Zhao's lively personality made Mr. Du feel as if he saw Du Jingyi making a fuss at home when he was a child.

Therefore, those who feel close to each other will speak.

"Hey, now that you remind me of this, I feel like I'm at a disadvantage. How about I speak up now?"

Shang Ji knew that his father-in-law was joking, but he also sincerely wanted to hear what his father-in-law wanted. If he had it, he would definitely not be stingy.

"Father-in-law, just ask. As long as you don't want to take my wife back for a short stay, I will agree!"

After hearing what he said, Xing Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone knows that during the time he was at home, Xitang Court would sleep until noon before welcoming guests.

It is also because Butler He and Nanny Dou are very capable, otherwise the master's laziness would definitely delay things.

He Shilin glanced sideways at the general's brother-in-law, and his perception of the situation was overturned at once.

In his opinion, he thought his brother-in-law was a serious person.

I didn't expect that he would joke.

However, Mr. Du smiled and agreed with his words.

"Tangtang is pregnant, so she needs to be taken good care of. I came to ask you to invite this young man Xing to visit us at home. He is quite entertaining."

Xing Zhao never expected that Mr. Du would start with just these words.

So he muttered.

"Uncle Du, I am not a property of the general's mansion, so you can't use me as a bargaining chip."

Unexpectedly, just as he said this, Shang Ji answered with a smile.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll have him pack up and stay at the Du family for two days, so that my father-in-law can be happy for two days."

Xing Zhao was so angry that he wanted to jump up and down and curse, but there was Old Madam Gu sitting next to him, and he never dared to act rashly in front of the old lady, so he could only endure it.

Seeing his deflated look, Shang Zhiping covered his mouth and chuckled twice.

But Xing Zhao heard it!

Then he bared his sharp white teeth and spoke to Shang Zhiping.

"Okay, I can go and play with Uncle Du for two days, but I have to take this kid with me! He can't stay at home and get cared for by his eldest sister-in-law every day. I have to be teased by my mother and sixth sister-in-law at home, and I have to be teased by Uncle Du when I go out! It's really unfair!"
