Chapter 166: Support

Seeing his annoyed expression, Mrs. Xing stopped teasing him and nodded directly.

"Why do you think I have to live in the general's mansion when I go north this time? Isn't it just to see what your wife is like?"

"What do you think, aunt?"

"Isn't my performance obvious enough? You and the young lady of the Du family should stay together for the rest of your life and make trouble for each other!"

As he said this, he pretended to be fierce and ferocious.

But in the end, he couldn't help laughing and explained it well.

"From the beginning, when we knew that Mrs. Wei had arranged a marriage for you, we didn't quite agree. Look at what kind of people she arranged for you before?! You've even got a reputation for being a wife-killer."

"I originally thought that if this one couldn't make it, don't blame me for being a villain. Who knew that she was just what I wanted. Although she was born in a low family, it can be seen that her parents were very well educated."

As he spoke, there was a lot more appreciation in his eyes.

Shang Ji listened to the praises of his wife, and honestly, he was secretly happy.

"She is fair, open-minded, knowledgeable, and most importantly, she is sincere to you. Even if my cousin is reborn, she will definitely be satisfied with such a daughter-in-law."

"As for Lang'er, she is probably more like a young girl in love. Since she was born, she has a lot of brothers and cousins ​​at home, but rarely sees young men from outside, so she thinks you are the best."

"Aren't we going to invite many families in Sui'an City to the banquet this time? When she sees the really good ones, your cousin will naturally be worthless, so don't worry about it. I will talk to my aunt about this matter."

Madam Xing solved Shang Ji's dilemma.

He is willing to take care of his cousin Lang for life as a brother, but if he is asked to have two wives, he will not do it!

And Du Jingyi will not allow it.

So in order to avoid the separation of his wife and children, he should make it clear early.

But how to say it is another troublesome matter.

It's not good to go directly to Xu Laiyuan to confront the grandmother. How can cousin Lang stay at home in this way?

So Shang Ji was in a great dilemma.

After seeing his aunt's statement, he immediately bowed respectfully.

He regained his smile just now and said with relief.

"Thank you, aunt."

Madam Xing smiled, and there was also heartache for Shang Ji and relief in her eyes.

She patted his arm and said.

"Your wife is pregnant now, she will be a little bit petty, you should be more tolerant and don't do things to make her sad."

"Don't worry, aunt, she is the one I care about most now."

Hearing this, Madam Xing nodded with relief.

Time flies so fast. In the past, they were still worried about who they would marry in the future, but now they have reached the age to help their children solve their problems.

The snow stopped and came, and soon the whole general's mansion was covered in silver again.

In the flower hall.

Everyone gathered together, with smiles on their faces.

It was rare to have such a gathering, so everyone was happy.

Sitting next to Mrs. Gu were Mrs. Xing and Shang Ji, but Gu Xiaolang, who was supposed to sit on her left, did not show up.

The third aunt explained awkwardly.

"The child said she was uncomfortable on the way here, and she fell ill after entering the mansion. Let's have a good welcoming banquet and don't worry about her."

Du Jingyi had just woken up and was a little shocked to hear such words.

Her husband acted so quickly?

He hurried to deal with this matter?

But no matter what mood Gu Xiaolang was in, she, as the host, still had to take good care of her.

So she said with a smile.

"The cold wind in Sui'an City is biting. Cousin Lang may have been attacked by evil wind. Has the palace doctor examined her?"

"Yes, it's nothing serious. He said that she will be fine after taking medicine for two days."

It was the fourth aunt who answered the question, and she smiled even more appropriately.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi did not continue to ask, and only gave Yingtao a command.

"Go and tell Danruo to make some light meals and send them to Xu Laiyuan. Don't let Cousin Lang starve."

"Yes, Madam."

Seeing her calm and composed look, Shang Ji couldn't help but think of the tears on her cheeks during lunch, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but he quickly suppressed it.

Seeing that no one spoke, Shang Ji stood up with a glass of wine and said to Madam Gu.

"Grandma, you have worked hard all the way. I will drink this cup. I hope you can stay for a few more days so that I can show my filial piety."

In the past, he had a heavy burden, so he could not leave Cezhou or go to Jinling City.

But now he has returned to Sui'an City, and he will have a few years of peace and stability. Naturally, he wants to be more filial to Madam Gu.

Seeing his sincere tone, Madam Gu was also comforted.

"I am afraid that I will really stay for three to five years. What should I do if you think I talk too much?"

A funny remark made everyone laugh.

Madam Gu has never been a serious elder, so the younger generation below is also relaxed.

Even Shang Zhiping, who has always been reserved, learned from his sixth uncle to hold the cup in front of him, but it was just water.

He was a little nervous but still spoke bravely to Madam Gu.

"Great-grandmother, Ping'er also offers you a glass of wine, wishing you good health and a long life."

When he finished speaking, he couldn't help licking his lips.

Seeing his nervousness, the old lady Gu was quite considerate and immediately brought a glass of wine, raised her head and drank it all.

"Ping'er's words, great-grandmother remembers it, you must take good care of your health, and watch you establish a career and start a family."

Shang Zhiping is now thirteen years old. If he really wants to get married quickly, it will only take three or two years.

However, Shang Ji doesn't want him to get married too early.

First, he is not mature enough to support the family.

Second, he may not be able to settle down and treat others well.

So, establish a career first.

Hearing this, Shang Zhiping smiled a little awkwardly, and sat down without saying anything more.

Others did not focus on teasing him like this, knowing that he was shallow, so they changed the subject.

This made Shang Zhiping feel much more relaxed.

His eldest sister-in-law Liu sat next to him. Seeing his "huge" change, she was very satisfied in her heart, so she said to Xing Zhao next to her with great gratitude.

"Thank you for taking care of Ping'er along the way, cousin Zhao."

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? I have such a casual personality, and it was Ping'er who took care of me several times on the road, right, Ping'er?"

Shang Zhiping laughed rarely when he asked this question.
