"Prime Minister Guo and Madam Guo really value our Xue Niang. It's just a betrothal gift, but they sent so many things. Your wife and I are discussing it. Let's add these to Xue Niang's dowry and let her take them back."

Shang Ji read it from beginning to end. It would be fine if he accepted the gold, jade and stone artifacts, but there were also some rare antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and rare books in it, which seemed valuable.

The Guo family is not a family that has been around for hundreds of years, so it is not easy to have these things. Therefore, Shang Ji also meant this.

"Sister-in-law, just do it. I can do anything."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. You can sit with your wife."

Shang Ji nodded, and after she left, he said to Du Jingyi.

"Don't you think that my sister-in-law has been smiling more these days and is more efficient than before? In the past, if something like this happened, I'm afraid she would have a headache and worry about this and that, and could never make up her mind. Now, she seems to be acting like a newly married woman in the Duke's Mansion."

After hearing what Shang Ji said, Du Jingyi laughed.

He was very successful in the past. Now he has money and connections. His life is going well. Who would want to make things difficult for him?

"This is a good thing. My sister-in-law can untie her knot and live a more comfortable life in the future. Ping'er will follow her cousin Zhao back to Jinling City in a few days, right? Xueniang's marriage is enough for her to be busy with."

"Well, speaking of this, you were quite impressive in Xulaiyuan today, and you scolded our beloved cousin Lang so badly that she looked like a human."

Du Jingyi asked jokingly.

"Are you distressed, General?"

"Nonsense! I'm talking to you seriously."

Du Jingyi straightened her dress and then spoke calmly.

"It's not really an insult, but I think some of her thoughts are too unrealistic. Now she has her grandmother protecting her, but in the future, with her character, can she withstand the storm that will come?"

Du Jingyi was not clear about other things.

However, once the fact that Shang Ji wanted to change his surname to Gu and marry into the Gu family was made public, the opposition would not only come from the Duke's Mansion.

Presumably, the relatives of the Gu family in Jinling City will not give up. Under this circumstance, even if Shang Ji and she can hold on, if those people take advantage of Gu Xiaolang's weakness, they will be attacked from both sides.

Therefore, it is better to pop the abscess early to avoid further trouble.

Shang Ji understood what Du Jingyi meant.

So I just spoke to her directly.

"I know what your wife is thinking. I also want to be your husband for a long time. If anyone else comes, I will throw him away. I will never be an eyesore to your wife."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi's cheeks turned slightly red.

She said that on purpose for Gu Xiaolang to hear, but who knew that she would be caught by her own husband.

But she really thought so in her heart, so she didn't worry about it.

He nodded, shook Shang Ji's hand and said.

"We will never part until we are old."

"good."

The days that followed were short but warm. The couple had a rare chance to be together, so they stayed in Xitang Courtyard and refused to go out.

Xing Zhao and others have already set their return date, which is two days later.

Shang Ji looked at the date and said frankly that he would not be able to come back to see them off, so he asked them to take care on the road.

There were words to tell Xing Zhao, words to tell Ping'er, and gifts to be entrusted to the third aunt to bring to the other two aunts. As for when he came in front of Gu Xiaolang, Shang Ji did not dodge.

He rubbed her hair as he did before and said.

"You are no longer that little cousin with a long tail. You have grown up and it is time for you to live your life. Don't worry, if your husband dares to treat you badly in the future, your cousin will make him and his whole family pay!"

When these words were spoken, the boundary was already clearly drawn.

In this life, they can only be cousins, and there is no possibility of any more steps.

After Gu Xiaolang was severely scolded by Du Jingyi, he figured out a lot of things.

Even though there was still reluctance in her eyes, she also knew that some happiness and some people would not belong to her after all, so she sniffed and swallowed back the sourness in her heart.

He raised a smile and said.

"Then I wish my cousin Shao Yu and his wife a long and loving marriage."

These words were the greatest blessing she could say, so Shang Ji did not make things difficult for her. Instead, he walked to Du Jingyi and protected her.

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

Gu Xiaolang forced himself not to look at the scene. Although he still felt a little sad, the pain was no longer as severe as before.

Sure enough, Du Jingyi's cousin-in-law is really good at removing thorns.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaolang couldn't help but smile again. When he looked up at his grandmother, Old Madam Gu, his eyes were filled with relief.

So he stepped forward and knelt down in front of Old Madam Gu and said.

"Grandmother, I may not go north this time. You must be good here. Cousin Shao Yu is here. If you are unhappy, you can scold him to vent your anger. He is thick-skinned anyway, so you won't be afraid."

As soon as she said this, everyone in the Gu family laughed.

Therefore, this was what Gu Xiaolang liked to say most when he was a child, and it immediately brought everyone back to that time, which seemed to be separated from them for a long time.

Madam Gu helped her up and said.

"Don't worry about me, an old woman. Listen to your mother when you go back. Your eldest aunt and second aunt will naturally make arrangements. I will be back soon after your cousin's wife gives birth. It will only take about half a year. It's not a big deal."

Du Jingyi's due date is in May. From what Madam Gu said, she probably wants to leave after the 100-day celebration and return to Jinling City to spend the winter. It's a good arrangement.

Seeing this, the third aunt also spoke.

"Then I'll have to trouble my fourth sister-in-law to take care of my mother-in-law. We'll wait for you to come back in Jinling City."

"Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, we still have them and this kid, right?"

The boy that the fourth aunt mentioned was the one in Du Jingyi's belly. She also firmly believed that it must be a son. After all, this had happened nine times in their Gu family, and the only one was a daughter, Gu Xiaolang.

She didn't think such a rare situation would happen to Du Jingyi's first child, so she made a conclusion right away.

And my third aunt also said with a smile.

"Look at his belly. He does look like a son."

Instead, it was Old Madam Gu who stood up and added cheerfully.

"Whether it's a son or a daughter, they are my beloved great-grandchildren. I must give them a good birthday gift to let them know how much their great-grandmother loves them!"
