"The Queen? Did she hint to you?"
Du Jingyi wasn't sure whether her husband knew about the past between the Queen and the Gu family, so she didn't speak rashly, but just said something tentatively.
"I heard from my aunt that the queen grew up in the Gu family, so she has a close relationship with everyone in the Gu family."
Hearing the word "closely", Shang Ji couldn't help but frown, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Looking at Du Jingyi, he asked softly.
"Did your aunt tell you?"
Du Jingyi nodded. It seemed that her husband also knew about the past between the Queen and the Master of the Gu family.
At this point, the couple really had no secrets at all.
Shang Ji said this with a serious expression.
"This is a matter of great importance. No one else knows about this except my grandmother, my aunt, Prime Minister Guo, and Madam Guo. Everyone in the world thinks that the Empress's sympathy for the Gu family is because of the fact that she lived with the Gu family when she was young, but no one has ever thought that there is such a reason."
"So, this matter must not be leaked, otherwise the Queen and the Crown Prince will be in danger."
Although power is still firmly in their hands, the reputation is a bit unpleasant.
Remarrying in the Daxing Dynasty was not shameful or something to be avoided, but it was a legitimate marriage and then a divorce.
When the Empress and the Master of the Gu family have nothing wrong, they will probably be accused of crimes at will.
Therefore, no information can be leaked.
Du Jingyi also nodded solemnly, his eyes firm.
"Don't worry, General. This matter will only reach my ears and will not come out of my mouth."
"Um."
The person in my arms is still as warm as ever, but the wind and snow outside seem to be getting stronger.
Ever since the couple talked about adopting into the Gu family, Shang Ji wanted to find an opportunity to talk about it with his grandmother and others.
But there is never a good time, so I thought I'd just wait until after the New Year and talk about it slowly.
The matter was put aside.
The sky was covered with snow and it got dark early.
However, the village was unusually lively.
The three tables were all full and everyone had a happy smile on their face, so the atmosphere naturally felt very good.
The elders of the Du family died young, as did the Shang family, so the oldest person at the table was naturally Madam Gu.
With her around, she naturally sat in the main seat, while Mr. Du and Shang Ji sat on both sides of her.
Today there is no distinction between men and women. The elders sit at one table, and other close relatives sit at their own tables.
The arrival of other people was not very impressive, but what Du Jingyi did not expect was that his elder sister Du Jingxiang also showed up. She was wrapped tightly, but one could tell it was her at first glance.
"Sister, why are you here?"
"The whole family is having a lively meal, I don't want to be alone, otherwise I might as well stay at home instead of coming to this farm."
As he spoke, he stepped forward to greet Old Madam Gu and other ladies he had not met yet.
"Mrs. Du from the He family pays her respects to Madam Gu and to all the aunts and uncles."
She is somewhat similar to Du Jingyi, but her personality is completely different.
Therefore, her gentle words of greeting aroused everyone's curiosity.
Seeing that she had recovered well, Old Madam Gu couldn't help but smile and said.
"She is young after all. She looks so healthy after only giving birth half a month ago. You must have taken good care of her."
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, old lady, but it's very difficult for women to give birth, so we are extra careful."
Mrs. Du replied good-temperedly.
"My mother-in-law is right. We have to prepare well. When Shao Yu's wife is about to give birth, we will take good care of her."
Mrs. Du felt much better after hearing what Mrs. Gu said, so she smiled and replied.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, old lady."
"As it should be, as it should be."
Mrs. Xing is always good at livening up the atmosphere, so she stepped out and made a joke.
"Mr. Du and Mrs. Du are so lucky to have two daughters who are so pretty and smart. I think they would wake up laughing in their dreams in the middle of the night."
As he spoke, he spread his hands.
"Unlike me, I prayed every day for a caring daughter to accompany me, but none of them were worry-free. Look at me, I am much older than you all. I am so angry."
As soon as she opened her mouth, the already lively atmosphere suddenly burst into laughter.
Before anyone else could say anything, Xing Zhao retorted with a grin.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Mother, you have a son and a daughter, and you're still not satisfied? Really, go around Ancheng and ask, where can you find someone as good as your son? But you always bully me every day, humph, human nature is always insatiable!"
The mother and son are born to be a double act.
This back and forth made everyone laugh.
Especially my fourth aunt, she was originally a cheerful person, and her favorite thing to do in the past was to "bully" her son.
But now that her son is gone, she hasn't done this for many years.
Seeing such a lively opening by Xing Zhao and Mrs. Xing, it was natural for him to want to join in.
Then, he turned his eyes and stared at Xing Zhao with a wicked smile, looking like a lecher who wanted to tease a woman.
"Wow, who is this good boy? Why haven't I heard of him before? Are you sure you are so good?"
"Fourth aunt is ignorant, right? That's not just amazing, it's extremely amazing!"
When he said the word "ding", Xueniang and Shang Zhiping couldn't help laughing.
They were also watching his performance with a look of anticipation.
As long as Xing Zhao is around, the atmosphere will never cool down.
In addition, Mr. Du and Uncle He were both good at speaking, so the meal was more lively to listen to than to eat.
In the end, if Luo Yuan hadn't interrupted him, I'm afraid Xing Zhao would have had to act out the scene on the spot.
"Here it comes, the roasted wild boar meat is ready!"
When Cherry saw Luo Yuan serving the food himself, she couldn't help but think of the scene of him slaughtering a pig with his bare chest in the yard just now. She felt like trembling at the sight of it.
However, this roasted wild boar meat not only looks good, but also smells great.
Lian Shangji couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and said.
"Didn't you ask your father-in-law's cook for help?"
"What are you talking about, General? Would our Tiger Soldiers take credit for someone else's work like this? From hunting to depilation, from chopping into pieces to roasting, the whole process was done by our people!"
"Oh, it's the same. It was Master Du who ordered us to boil water."
When he said this, his eyes were full of pride.
Not to mention Shang Ji, even Xing Zhao wanted to hit him twice to let this brat show off!
Seeing this, Mr. Du quickly added.
"I can testify to this! It was all done by Deputy General Luo and his men!"
