299. Chapter 299 Encountered



Therefore, Fourth Aunt liked Du Jingyi more and more.

"Shao Yu is the right wife to marry. You are so nice to the people of our Gu family!"

She is filial and considerate to Old Madam Gu, humble and polite to the elders like them, and takes good care of her cousins-in-law who are no longer at home. She really does a good job in managing the Gu family.

After hearing the praise from his fourth aunt, Du Jingyi felt somewhat relieved.

Treat others sincerely and they will treat you sincerely in return. This is her favorite result.

Several people walked around in the temple fair and stopped here and there, and saw a lot of new and interesting things. Du Jingyi also bought some interesting items that she didn't usually see for her sister-in-law Liu, and she didn't miss a single one.

I was about to leave when someone suddenly called me.

When Du Jingyi turned around, he saw Sanlang's wife, accompanied by the third old lady, the third lady, and Shang Siniang. All the women from the third branch of the Duke's Mansion were present.

After all, we are family members, there is no such thing as meeting without saying hello.

So he smiled, and Du Jingyi walked over with his fourth aunt and Xue Niang, and greeted the third old lady.

"What a coincidence! I actually met my third uncle here. I pay my respects to you."

Then he greeted the Third Lady, Sanlang's wife and Shang Si Niang. Xue Niang also greeted them. As the Fourth Aunt was not very familiar with them, she just nodded and said nothing more.

Sanlang's wife was naturally happy to meet Du Jingyi as many times as possible, so she said with surprise.

"We originally came here just to join in the fun, but we didn't expect to meet the young lady. It's really a surprise."

Everyone in Sui'an City knew that Shang Ji had left the Duke's Mansion and married into the Gu family, so if she continued to call her the Sixth Brother's Sister-in-law, the Third Brother's wife would end up losing more than she gained. So she was also very smart to call Du Jingyi the Young Madam.

It is true that the General's Mansion said so.

The third old lady wanted to go up and say a few more words, but was blocked by Sanlang's wife without leaving a trace. Then she spoke.

"The vegetarian food at Baoyin Temple is delicious. I wonder if the young lady has ever tried it. Would you like to join us?"

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Third Sister-in-law. We came here with the Guo family. They have made all the arrangements before and after this. I'm afraid we can't use them together."

"I see. If that's the case, then we won't bother you any more. I got some good stuff and will give it to Brother Tai to play with tomorrow."

"Well, we'll take our leave then."

"Young Madam, take care."

Sanlang's wife's attitude was respectful, even more flattering than before. After Du Jingyi and the others left, the third old lady was still somewhat reluctant, and said with a pout.

"What? Elders have to greet younger people politely. This has never happened before!"

"Grandma, please don't talk about the past anymore. Have you forgotten what I just said to you a few days ago?"

Sanlang's wife's eyes were as sharp as torches, and they were full of warning when she looked at her. The whole family of Sanlang was living a relatively happy life now, all because of Sanlang's respectability in the court.

Therefore, for the sake of their own good life, they dare not stand out.

The Third Lady and Shang Si Niang, who were standing by, were not talkative people, so they just remained silent when they saw this.

The joy of visiting the temple fair was interrupted for a while by the appearance of Sanlang's wife and others. Du Jingyi thought about the things he had learned about Shang Qinnan a few days ago, and thought that he could find out a thing or two from Sanlang's wife, so he lowered his head and thought.

Seeing that she suddenly fell silent, Xue Niang thought that she was thinking about the past, so she walked over to her and asked with some concern.

"Sixth sister, are you okay?"

Du Jingyi was a little confused when he was suddenly asked this question.

But she soon realized that Xue Niang was concerned about her, so she replied with a smile.

"It's nothing wrong. I just thought of something else and got distracted. Let's go. Don't let the two grandmothers wait anxiously. Let's go and try how delicious the vegetarian food here is."

"Um."

Xueniang has always been simple and doesn't remember things.

But the fourth aunt could see clearly that these relatives of the Duke's Mansion were obviously not easy to deal with, so she secretly thought that if they dared to make trouble, she would let them know how powerful the military generals were! The vegetarian meal was eaten by several people in the meditation room. A monk specially brought it to them. It was simple, but tasted good.

Du Jingyi ate half a bowl more, which made Madam Gu very happy.

"You haven't used it much since you gave birth to Tai Ge'er. It seems that the vegetarian food here is more to your taste."

"Mm, simple but very tasty. When we get back, ask Danruo to make a few dishes. Then my granddaughter-in-law can eat an extra half bowl of rice every day."

"Being able to eat is a blessing. You have to manage such a large general's mansion by yourself, so you must pay more attention to your health."

"Thank you, Grandma Guo, for your concern."

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

Several people talked while eating, and it was a very comfortable meal.

After the meal, in order to digest the food, at the suggestion of Mrs. Guo, they went to the backyard of Baoyin Temple, where there were many ornamental chrysanthemums, all in beautiful bloom.

The wood fragrance chrysanthemum, peach blossom chrysanthemum, golden bell chrysanthemum, and chrysanthemum, each kind of chrysanthemum is taken care of extremely well, and they compete with each other for beauty.

Mrs. Guo saw a pot of chrysanthemums and then said with a smile.

"It's about the same as the one you sent."

Du Jingyi took a look and found it to be true, and replied with a smile on his face.

"Perhaps the masters in this temple also like to take care of flowers and plants, so the chrysanthemums here are blooming so beautifully."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with what she said.

While watching, Mrs. Guo also gave instructions to Mrs. Guo San.

"For the sacrificial offerings this year, we can order them from Baoyin Temple. I think the items they make here are very detailed and more carefully made than those sold outside."

The day of offering mentioned by Mrs. Guo is the first day of October.

There is such a custom in Daxing. In addition to the Ghost Festival on July 15, there is also a burning ceremony on October 1 every year, but it is simpler than the Ghost Festival.

Most of the time, each household just performed some small ceremonies in the ancestral hall, which was nothing like the Ghost Festival where the imperial court held a grand ceremony outside to pray for blessings.

Mrs. Guo San naturally nodded in agreement after receiving the order.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I will make the arrangements."

Du Jingyi said bluntly after hearing this.

"In that case, why don't we follow Grandma Guo and buy what we need for the General's Mansion this year? I didn't know that Baoyin Temple had these offerings before."

"They don't do much. It's just for monks to kill time, so few families know about it. We got it by chance, and since then we have settled in Baoyin Temple." (End of this chapter)
