Chapter 175 Early Preparation
He smiled and then said.
"Mother, do you not trust your son? If I have the ability to pass the exam, what does it matter if I don't go to this banquet? I still have to interact with everyone, right?"
Shang Qillang's words were very sensible and did not embarrass Mrs. Wei at all.
But the more this happened, the more distressed she felt.
A good child with a bright future was blocked by someone. She was very angry but didn't know what to do.
"Alas, it was your mother who implicated you."
"What are you talking about, mother? The feud between the Shang and Gu families was not caused by you alone. It's all in the past, so let's not talk about it."
Hearing her son say this, Mrs. Wei had no choice but to let go of her obsession.
But sometimes, even if you want the wind and waves to stop, they may not agree.
The sky is bright and the clouds are shadowy, and the snow is flying everywhere.
On the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, the sun rises especially early.
It was just past morning when people started coming in and out of the general's mansion.
At the beginning of the morning, people outside who were setting off firecrackers and distributing lucky bags all stopped.
Everyone wore new coats, looking respectable and festive.
When the auspicious time came, Steward He gave an order and the firecrackers blasted to the sky.
Lucky bags were scattered everywhere, and those who gathered in front of the general's mansion kept saying auspicious words.
Such a big commotion naturally "woken up" everyone in each hospital.
In Xitang Courtyard, Du Jingyi stretched out after waking up and said in a somewhat coquettish tone.
"It's so nice to sleep in winter, I almost forgot what breakfast is."
Ever since Shang Ji came back, the couple have been able to sleep in each other's arms until lunch time every day, so what she said was true.
It's a rare opportunity for me to get up early today, so of course I have to try it.
So Shang Ji replied.
"Eat more breakfast today, and have dinner later, so don't starve yourself."
Her belly is now over four months pregnant. It is not very noticeable when she wears loose clothes, but even when she lies down with her clothes on, you can still feel that her belly is bulging out.
Maybe it was because she was stretched just now, but just as Du Jingyi was about to speak, she felt her stomach moving.
The amplitude is very small, and it slides smoothly like a fish swimming.
But Du Jingyi was surprised.
She quickly took Shang Ji's hand and touched her belly, then said in surprise.
"General, he moved."
Shang Ji had never had this experience before, so he quickly came forward.
But he waited and waited but nothing happened, and he asked doubtfully.
"Did you feel it wrong? Why didn't I touch it?"
This was also the first time Du Jingyi became a mother. She had heard from Aunt Dou that babies born in April or May would also move, but she had never felt it before.
Therefore, when Shang Ji asked this question, I was really a little unsure.
Unexpectedly, when the couple was in doubt, the child seemed to be determined to prove his existence.
Moved again.
At this moment, not only Du Jingyi, but even Shang Ji felt it.
He seemed to know that today was a good day and chose this moment to move in front of the couple, who were both very surprised.
Especially Shang Ji, who spoke quickly.
"Does this mean that you are happy? Or are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to ask Doctor Wang to come over and take a look?"
Ever since Empress Guo knew that Du Jingyi was pregnant, her fetus had been under the care of Doctor Wang.
If you feel unwell or something, you go to Dr. Wang's house and if he is not there, then Dr. Wang's son will come to see you.
He is also a famous figure in the Imperial Medical Bureau. He is not too old, about forty years old.
His temperament is the same as that of Doctor Wang, gentle, polite, and has medical ethics.
Du Jingyi looked at the sky outside. It was just daybreak, so he shook his head and said.
"No need to trouble you. Someone from the Wang family will come by then. If it's Doctor Wang or Imperial Doctor Wang, we can just ask them to take your pulse."
Shang Ji looked around and didn't see anything wrong with her.
So I didn't say anything more, but I felt in my heart that I still had to find a suitable doctor in the palace.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome to have to hire people from outside at the slightest sign of trouble.
The two of them got up, Cherry helped them wash up, and then they started to have breakfast.
There was still a table full of Du Jingyi's favorite dishes. Accompanied by Shang Ji, she indeed ate quite a lot today.
Everyone in the east and west courtyards also stood up.
The first ones were naturally Madam Gu and Gu Xiaolang from Xu Laiyuan.
She is old now and can't sleep for long.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
So every time she saw some movement she had to get up, and at this moment she was also having breakfast, and the one accompanying her was naturally Gu Xiaolang.
Gu Xiaolang hasn't gone out these days, and he looks much weaker than when he came.
Although her face was a little pale, it would be covered up a little after applying powder. However, she really looked like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.
Although my heart still aches, I have cried enough in the past few days.
Being depressed and unhappy is not the type of person who likes to be a family member, so you have to hold on no matter how hard or difficult it is.
"Grandma, please use more of this fish porridge. Your granddaughter smells delicious."
After Gu Xiaolang finished speaking, he served a bowl to Old Madam Gu, and it was indeed fragrant.
"I think there are still many things to do today. I don't know when I can have a meal. You just got better, so you can have some."
"Yes, Grandmother."
As he spoke, Gu Xiaolang also served himself a small half bowl.
Only when food enters the mouth can one have the motivation to live.
Madam Gu did not continue to persuade her, but only said one sentence in a serious manner.
"No matter what, what we represent today is the reputation of the Gu family and the General's Mansion. Do you understand?"
"My granddaughter understands and won't cause any trouble. Don't worry, grandma."
"Um."
The grandparents and grandchildren ate quietly here, and soon they heard the voices of Mrs. Xing and the two aunts.
With her here, this place will never be lonely.
When the three of them came in, they were a pleasant sight.
She was dressed much more formally than usual, and it was obvious that she put a lot of thought into it.
But Madam Gu felt a little strange. It was normal that she had never seen the clothes and jewelry of her niece, Madam Xing, but it was the first time for her to see the two daughters-in-law.
Not only her, Gu Xiaolang also felt a little surprised when he saw it.
How should I put it? I haven’t seen the elders in my family dressed up so gorgeously in many years.
It's as if one suddenly became ten years younger.
Behind them were maids, each holding a tray in their hands.
"Greetings to my aunt (mother-in-law)."
"You guys are here really fast, so early in the morning."
"I'm in a hurry to deliver something to my aunt and Lang'er, so of course I have to come early."
Mrs. Xing looked very happy and asked the maid to come forward.
On the tray were clothes and jewelry, all of which were extremely exquisite.
Even someone like Madam Gu, who had seen the world, thought it was good and started asking.
"Where did it come from?"
