483. Chapter 483 Two Sisters



"My lady, are you okay?"

When Old Madam Guo asked this question, her expression was full of worry, but Empress Guo put on a smiling face, and when she looked at Old Madam Guo, she was still as calm and graceful as ever.

"Don't worry, mother. I'm fine. I just feel that I've been in his good graces for so many years, and it's time to repay him. I have nothing to worry about, and I hope we can continue our relationship in the next life."

Empress Guo's words left the two elders speechless with other words of comfort.

The main hall was luxurious yet indifferent, just like the Queen's situation and thoughts over the years. However, the small garden was charming at this moment.

Among the young people who came today, the unmarried ones are the two young ladies of the Li family, Li Yuanmei and Li Yuanjiao. When they stand together, one can tell the difference in their personalities at a glance.

The one in the aqua green spring dress is calm and composed, while the one in the peach pink butterfly flower dress is charming and playful. Mrs. Li, the wife of the Minister, is filled with joy when she looks at the pair of nieces.

Then he whispered a few words to his sister-in-law from his natal family, and took them both to Du Jingyi.

Worry is worry, but that is something that can only be discussed afterwards. Now when Du Jingyi saw the Li family members coming over, he had to be careful and greet them with a smile, otherwise it would be bad to make them feel neglected.

Ping'er was standing behind Du Jingyi at this moment. As for the eldest sister-in-law Liu, she was afraid that she would hinder her son's future, so she hid away and talked to Xuenniang at this moment, but her eyes were still secretly looking over here.

Before Du Jingyi's "Madam of the Minister" could even open her mouth, she heard Li opening her mouth and shouting at her.

"Sister Du, how about you come and see my two nieces?"

The word "Sister Du" actually brought the two of them closer. She was still politely calling her Madam Gu on the boat a few days ago, but she changed her tone today. Du Jingyi couldn't help but sigh.

"Sister Li's niece is naturally good. I just noticed her in the hall."

"Shang Zhiping greets the Minister's wife and the two young ladies."

Both parties knew what was going on today. It was normal for a family like theirs to see each other in advance, so the three of them behaved calmly and without any shyness.

On the way north from Nanjing City, the wife of the assistant minister had secretly observed Ping'er and felt that he was a good person. Although he was not particularly capable, he had a good uncle and a title that he could inherit immediately.

Therefore, she was naturally happy to see this marriage.

After exchanging a glance with Du Jingyi, both of them showed expressions of wanting to make something happen, and Du Jingyi directly took off two white jade bracelets of the same quality from his wrists, both of which were top-quality items, and then handed them over, saying with a smile.

"This is our first time meeting, and I don't have any good gifts prepared. You two can just take them and enjoy them. Don't be disgusted by them."

When the two sisters of the Li family saw the jade bracelet, although they did not show great surprise, they also felt that the general's wife was extraordinary. They thought that she had taken over the general's mansion and the Jinling Gu family, and she had gained a lot of good things for herself.

Then the two sisters looked at the minister's wife, and seeing her nod slightly, they bravely accepted it, stepped forward, saluted and said.

"Yuan Mei, Yuan Jiao thanks Madam Gu."

Du Jingyi nodded in satisfaction and said nothing else. She already knew a lot about the two Li sisters, so there was no need to inquire about them indirectly. She just needed to see today whether one of them had a crush on Ping'er, so she pointed to a peach tree on the side of the garden and said.

"I think the flowers over there are nice. Sister Li, how about we go over and take a look?"

The wife of the Minister quickly understood what she meant and kept the two sisters here. Ping'er, who was standing behind Du Jingyi, did not back off and started a brief conversation with the two of them.

They were all teenagers, so they had a pretty good chat.

Sister-in-law Liu glanced at this scene and spoke in a low voice with deep emotion.

"I don't want to fight for anything else. I just hope Ping'er can have a caring wife to accompany him. He has suffered a lot following me these years. I hope he can live a sweet and happy life in the future."

Xue Niang patted her arm gently, then took her arm and spoke intimately.

"Of course she will. Just look at how pretty Ping'er is and how decent she behaves. She will be fine in the future."

Shang Zhipingsheng was very similar to the deceased Shang Dalang, so his appearance was naturally not much different. Now that he had shed his former cowardice, he had become much more relaxed. He had followed Xing Zhao in Jinling City for several years, so naturally he was good at dealing with people.

Therefore, after a while, the two sisters of the Li family were seen pinching their handkerchiefs and laughing out loud.

Seeing this, the Minister's wife and Du Jingyi, who were secretly observing from a distance, felt relieved.

"I wonder if Sister Du prefers my eldest niece or my second niece?"

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

The Minister's wife, Mrs. Li, was very straightforward and didn't hide anything, so Du Jingyi didn't give her any perfunctory response. He calmed himself down and spoke.

"Ping'er suffered a lot in her early years, so I thought that if she could have a lively lady to accompany her, she would be more cheerful even if she encountered difficulties in the future. So if I were to come and see her, I would think that the second young lady of the Li family would be more suitable."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li chuckled.

"I thought you would prefer Yuan Mei. After all, someone with her calm personality is more suitable to be a mistress of a family."

Du Jingyi disagrees with this.

"As an aunt, I sincerely hope that Ping'er will be well. It's not that the eldest daughter of the Li family is not suitable, but I think the second daughter of the Li family is more suitable. However, what I say does not count. The most important thing is to see how Ping'er gets along with the two daughters. Things are unpredictable in this world, and who can say for sure?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Li, the wife of the Minister, nodded in agreement.

"It's rare to find someone as sincere to his nephew as you are."

Regardless of other things, just the fact that Gu Shaoyu moved out of the Duke's Mansion and went to the General's Mansion, not only did he set up his own business, but he also took his widowed sister-in-law, young nephew, and sister-in-law with him, can give us a glimpse of something.

Therefore, the wife of the Minister was also sincere about this marriage.

However, compared to Du Jingyi's sincerity, the Li family has more to consider. For example, they feel that their eldest niece Yuan Mei is more suitable. After all, her personality is there, and she will weigh the relationships at home and with her husband's family in the future.

But at the moment, she also knew that being suitable would not work with Du Jingyi. What she cared more about was who was more "compatible" with Shang Zhiping, so she didn't say any more nonsense and changed the subject by trying to talk about something else.
