Mrs. Xing always speaks in a funny way.
Therefore, everyone in the Guo family laughed continuously, and since Prime Minister Guo had just stepped down, although he had been traveling a lot during this period, he looked much better.
At the moment, he was not wearing any official uniform, only ordinary clothes. He looked somewhat like an immortal, and he spoke while stroking his beard.
"Don't worry, there is enough food at home. If nothing else, there is plenty of rice!"
He and Mrs. Xing joked with each other, which made the people of the Guo family feel that they had suffered less grievances during this trip to the south. Although the Xing family had a hand in Prime Minister Guo's departure, the first wife was the first wife and their third wife was the third wife, and they were still different after all.
Therefore, the people in the Guo family did not feel uncomfortable about Mrs. Xing's visit.
Although she was joking, when Prime Minister Guo and Madam Xing were talking alone, she still expressed her guilt.
"Things have come to this point, and I dare not completely clear myself. After all, Xing Zhao has been active in Sui'an City for so many years, using the name of the Xing family. So if my uncle blames me, it is our Xing family that should bear the consequences."
What Mrs. Xing said was true, and after listening to it, Prime Minister Guo smiled and spoke with a look of compassion in his eyes.
"If you insist on using your promotion and my demotion as an excuse for your apology, then the people I want to apologize to will line up from here to the city gate, so you don't have to worry about it. Besides, the current situation is not entirely caused by the Xing family. Since I have stepped down from that position, there must be someone to take my place. It is only natural that the Xing family is interested in this position."
Mrs. Xing sighed a little as she listened to what Prime Minister Guo said.
"It's just that the eldest son of the Xing family is too restrained in doing things. He has to take care of this on the left and that on the right, so in the end he will probably tie his hands and feet. I'm afraid the gain will not outweigh the loss. So, if you are willing, please help me convey a message to the eldest son of the Xing family."
"Uncle Guo, please speak."
"The court is not just the court of the royal family, but also the court of the people of the world. Interests must be weighed, but the object of the weighing should be the people, not the royal family."
His words made Mrs. Xing unable to close her mouth.
If such words were to reach the emperor's ears, Prime Minister Guo would have an uneasy life in his later years. Therefore, Madam Xing was very embarrassed and wished she had never heard such words.
However, after Guo Xiang finished speaking, he stroked his beard and continued to look at the children of the Guo and Gu families with a smile. Seeing that they were playing happily, he was also very happy.
Mrs. Xing stood there, not knowing how to respond.
Where there is worry, there will naturally be joy.
Mrs. Xing was feeling distressed here, but the eldest branch of the Xing family and others who had already settled in the Xing Mansion in Sui'an City were very satisfied.
"I specifically looked for this house. I started renovating it two years ago. I used the best bricklaying team in Sui'an City. Uncle and aunt, please take a look. What do you think?"
Madam Xing looked around. Nothing else had been seen, but the landscape in the yard was very well arranged, so she smiled and praised it.
"We are very relieved to leave this matter to you. The Xing family will have a place to stay in Sui'an City in the future. You should move out of the general's mansion as soon as possible. You can't live in someone else's house all the time. Now General Gu is not at home, so be careful not to cause gossip."
Now in the general's mansion, Du Jingyi lives alone with her children.
Originally, the Du couple were still there, but now that Du Jingxiang and her husband had arrived, they naturally lived in the Du family, so what Madam Xing said was not false.
Xing Zhao smiled, didn't respond, just said one sentence.
"Those boys in my cousin's family are really annoying. I can still help to look after them. Otherwise, it will be too much for my fourth aunt and cousin's wife to look after them."
His words served as a signal to Lord Xing.
Now that the Guo family has fallen from power, although the General's Mansion is still protected by the title of First-Class Duke as before, the general is away and may not be able to help with family affairs, so he feels that there seems to be little need to maintain good relations with the General's Mansion at this moment.
"It's up to you, but your aunt is right. You've never gotten married, and people outside have something to say about you. This time we're here, we have to help you find one. If you're over 30 and still haven't started a family, we'll be laughed at by others."
Hearing this, Xing Zhao shrugged, obviously not caring about it.
His parents had urged him to do something for more than ten years but he still hadn't done it. Did his uncle and aunt really think that he could accomplish it? They really thought it was too simple.
"Okay, then uncle and aunt, you can clean up first. It will take half a month for you to get everything sorted out after you've just moved in. Once you've settled in, we can have a family dinner. I've already written down the names of the guests to be invited in this post. Uncle, just take a look at it when you have time."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"As a family, this is what I should do."
The eldest son and the eldest lady of the Xing family nodded after hearing this, and they no longer restrained Xing Zhao from being with them.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After leaving the Xing Mansion, Xing Zhao originally wanted to go drink with a few brothers, but for some reason he ended up returning to the General's Mansion.
Looking at the fact that there had been no changes in the plants and trees here, he felt filled with emotion.
When Du Jingyi was about to go out, he saw Xing Zhao standing in the corridor with his hands behind his back, looking a little melancholy. So he looked at Xia Meng and walked over.
"What are you thinking, cousin Zhao? You didn't even hear our footsteps coming."
Xing Zhao turned around and saw the two of them, and spoke without reservation.
"The Xing family has arrived. I estimate that Nuan Ju's invitation will be sent to the General's Mansion in a few days. I was wondering whether I should go with you or go there early to prepare."
Xing Zhao said it lightly, but it didn't sound like that to Du Jingyi.
He is a member of the Xing family and has been running around for the Xing family these days, so if the Xing family wants to hold a banquet, it is natural for him, as the host, to go there in advance to prepare.
But from what he said, it seemed like he was going to visit the Xing family. Could it be that he wanted to separate himself from the Xing family's eldest branch? So Du Jingyi didn't say anything, but just looked at him curiously.
Xing Zhao was a person who never took things as they should, so he just laughed it off.
"Let's not talk about my business anymore. Are my cousin's wife and Miss Xia going out?"
"Well, my mother sent someone to deliver the news that my brother-in-law has arrived. Let's go over and take a look. Fourth Aunt and Lizhu will bring the children over later. What about you? Do you want to go?"
"No way, cousin, I'm still living in the general's mansion. Are you going to have dinner without me?"
