Chapter 174 Winter Date

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting, really interesting!"

Mr. Du really likes Xing Zhao's personality.

He even had an idea in his mind that if he had a son, he would definitely raise him to have such a personality.

Shang Zhiping was shooting himself in the foot at this time.

He didn't say anything, but was tricked by Xing Zhao, so he said to Shang Ji with a bitter face.

"Sixth uncle, Uncle Zhao is bullying people!"

Unexpectedly, Shang Ji said with a smile on his face.

"It's also a good thing to go with your uncle to see him."

Shang Zhiping had no choice. Uncle Six had said this, so he couldn't go against it.

It was Mr. Du who came up with an idea and said it.

"There's nothing fun at home. Why don't we go to the farm on the outskirts of the city? I have a farm in Wuling, which is connected to a hot spring. It's the most comfortable to soak in it in winter. There's a forest behind it. Last time, I asked the forest ranger to hunt a lot of game and save it. We can also go to barbecue. What do you think?"

This suggestion is good. Girls may not be interested, but men are eager to try it.

There's nothing fun in the city in winter.

So Xing Zhao agreed as soon as he heard it, and said to Mr. Du.

"Okay, I want to go right away as Uncle Du said, but I have to let my cousin make the decision. After all, I'm now the property of the general's mansion!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, not to mention Shang Zhiping, even He Shilin couldn't help laughing.

Shang Ji was idle at home now, so he thought about it and said.

"Is father-in-law's farm big enough for so many of us to go together?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely big enough! You'll know when you go there."

Shang Ji knew from his wife that the Du family was not ordinary rich, so when he heard his father-in-law's affirmative answer, he nodded and said.

"Then ask my grandmother, if she is willing to go, we can go."

"Okay, you can arrange it."

Xing Zhao then added.

"Don't worry, Uncle Du, even if my great grandmother and others don't go, Ping'er and I will definitely go!"

Now, let alone Xing Zhao, even Luo Yuan is a little eager to try.

He is sure that it's not just himself, but also his brothers in the personal guard.

Originally, he was training in the army every day. It was not easy to get free time, but he stayed in the general's mansion every day, which was really boring.

Therefore, if Xing Zhao wanted to go, he would also like to ask his general to go with him for two days.

He had been following Shang Ji for more than a day or two, so Shang Ji could still see his emotional fluctuations and said to him.

"Want to go?"

"I want to go!"

Luo Yuan's answer was not at all sloppy. Shang Ji thought about it and simply got up to ask.

Anyway, it's next door, not very far away.

Mrs. Gu was just in a good mood, and saw her grandson walked in, and asked with curiosity.

"Why is Shao Yu here?"

"Grandma, my father-in-law said that he has a farm in Wuling, with hot springs and game to roast. If grandma likes it, he can invite everyone to sit together."

Hearing his words, Mrs. Gu hadn't expressed her opinion yet, and Mrs. Du smiled and took over and said.

"Master, this is a good idea. There is no place to play in winter. The Wuling area is really good. It is also convenient for food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Hearing Mrs. Du's praise, Mrs. Xing really had the same idea as her son.

"That sounds really good. Isn't it easy for aunt to have cold feet? Soaking more will be good for your body!"

What else can we do now?

Madam Gu said with a kind smile.

"Okay, after the banquet is over, we will go for two days. It will be the New Year when we come back."

"Yes, yes, let's just treat it as a family having a New Year's dinner in advance."

The Du family will definitely not celebrate the New Year in the general's mansion, so it is a good thing to have this opportunity to get together.

Seeing that the grandmother agreed, Shang Ji went back and told the news.

The happiest people were naturally Xing Zhao and Luo Yuan. Shang Zhiping was a little confused. He thought that he had to go out in such a cold weather, and he didn't know where to have fun.

Who knew that the next second Xing Zhao approached him and whispered.

"I will take you to the mountains to hunt when the time comes. Hunting in winter is more interesting."

Hearing this, Shang Zhiping's eyes widened unconsciously. This was the first time he went hunting since he grew up.

I have heard of spring hunting and autumn hunting, but I have never heard of winter hunting.

Can you still hunt game in this snowy day? He expressed his doubt.

But seeing Xing Zhao's confident face, he also relaxed a lot, and was full of curiosity about the next trip to Wuling.

The snow was falling, and the general's mansion was peaceful.

But now the Duke's mansion was in a mess.

The East Garden and the North Garden were now locked up and construction began, so the huge Duke's mansion suddenly lost more than half of its space, which seemed a bit cramped.

Especially after going to the General's Manor, Mrs. Wei began to dislike the Duke's Manor.

She felt that everything there was good, but the Duke's Manor was dull and old.

She wanted to repair it together, but she didn't have so much money to support it.

So she could only bear it.

Whether the Duke's Manor was repaired or not, at least people could live in it, but what made Mrs. Wei angry was the news that Mrs. Gu was "ill".

As soon as the couple came out of the general's mansion, Shang Ji went to the palace to ask for Doctor Wang.

With his diagnosis, who can say that Madam Gu was pretending to be sick?

She had originally thought about going through her daughter's Fuwang Mansion to enter the general's mansion.

Now it seems that the carriage of her Duke's Mansion has just arrived at the door of the general's mansion, and Madam Gu will faint again.

Madam Wei really shot herself in the foot. Her filial piety has not yet been pressed on Shang Ji and Du Jingyi, but Madam Gu's has come.

She used the same trick, which really left her with no way out.

And this Madam Gu is not her biological mother. If this matter is a big fuss, she doesn't know how the outside world will make up a story about her as a stepmother.

Therefore, she has been much quieter in the past two days.

Looking at the snow falling outside, it is useless for her to worry.

Shang Qilang, who was sitting next to her, knew what his mother was worried about, so he comforted her.

"Mother, please stop thinking about this. Since Madam Gu doesn't want to, we shouldn't keep asking for it. The New Year is coming soon, so let's just spend our New Year peacefully."

"It doesn't matter whether mother goes or not, but you are in your prime years, and the imperial examination is coming soon. It's the time to make connections. How can you not go to a place like the general's mansion?"

Shang Qilang didn't care much after hearing this.
