Chapter 177 Housewarming Party

Du Jingyi's words made Mrs. Xing couldn't help but click her tongue twice.

"If I hadn't been going back after the New Year, I would have really wanted to take away two sets of your maid's skills. I don't know where you got your skills from. A good cook can collect them, and a good embroiderer can also collect them. You can't leave without leaving." We have everything.”

The feeling of envy made Du Jingyi couldn't help but chuckle.

"My aunt likes it, so what's the problem? Every season I ask Lu Jue to prepare a few sets and send them to Xing Mansion."

"Farewell, if I were in Sui'an City, I would not shirk this kindness, but if I have to ask you to send you all the way to Jinling City, it would be too much to mobilize the troops."

When the third aunt heard this, she rarely said a word.

"Yeah, it's better to save yourself some trouble and avoid being spotted."

Du Jingyi didn't know why she was talking about others.

But Shang Ji's face darkened when he heard it, and he was not as happy as before.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Du Jingyi would have wanted to ask a few questions.

It seemed that the life in Jinling City was not as satisfactory as she imagined.

However, Mrs. Xing saw that everyone looked unhappy about this matter, so she stood up and interrupted.

"I think it's almost time. Let's go to the front hall and wait. I guess people will come outside."

After she reminded her, Du Jingyi and others looked at the sky outside.

Sure enough, it has passed.

"Let's go, grandma, I'll help you."

Shang Ji stepped forward and said to Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu also smiled and asked him to take over.

"Okay, help me."

Then Madam Gu gave Du Jingyi a special look. Although Du Jingyi was a little surprised, he quickly stepped forward and supported the other side.

When she first entered the General's Mansion, Mrs. Gu was surrounded by Shang Ji and Gu Xiaolang.

She followed the rules today and gave up her seat and moved to the back, so it was Du Jingyi and Shang Ji who helped Mrs. Gu go to the front hall.

When the third aunt saw this, she felt very sad, but she still stepped forward and patted the back of her daughter's hand, showing a caring smile.

There are some words that you don’t need to say, but Gu Xiaolang already knows them in his heart.

It was best for her to figure this out herself, otherwise it would be useless to talk about it.

Walking along the corridor, when we arrived at the front hall, no guests had come to the general's residence yet, but the sister-in-law and others were already waiting here.

She was also dressed exquisitely, and was not outdone by Mrs. Xing and the others at all.

"I've met my grandmother, I've met my aunt, I've met my aunt."

"You guys are here early."

Mrs. Gu replied with a smile, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, spoke.

"It's just a moment early."

Just as he was talking, Butler He walked in with a smile on his face and said hello to everyone.

"The old slave has met the old lady, the general, and the young lady."

Then he saluted Mrs. Xing and others before speaking.

"The young lady's family has already arrived, and two elders from the He family have also followed."

The Du family arrived early, and they were the first ones to arrive.

"Please come quickly, please come quickly. Naturally, you can't be slow when your in-laws come."

As soon as Mrs. Gu spoke, Butler He hurriedly responded. Shang Ji took a step forward and said.

"I'll go greet you. It's almost time. I think there are other guests arriving too."

"Okay, go ahead."

Now that Mrs. Gu is in charge, this general's mansion is no longer a new family.

Even when the prince came, Mrs. Gu could still accept half a courtesy from him.

When Shang Ji took Xing Zhao and Shang Zhiping to the door, everyone from the Du family and the He family arrived.

Of course, Du Jingxiang was still confinement at home, but except for her and Brother Yun, everyone else came.

Shang Ji stepped forward and said.

"My son-in-law has met his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he has met Uncle He, Aunt He, and he has met his brother-in-law."

In the Du family, they can accept this gift.

It was a family dinner after all.

But now, in the General's Mansion, ordinary people like them, who have no rank or rank, should not be greeted by Shang Ji like this.

So those who knew the rules quickly returned one.

Mr. Du also said loudly.

"Forget the General."

Afraid of embarrassing a few people, Shang Ji specially asked Xing Zhao to accompany him. With him around, they would be able to recognize whoever the visitor was, so that they wouldn't know if they bumped into the noble person.

In this regard, the Du family and his wife were very grateful to Shang Ji for his intentions.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please go sit inside first. Grandma has been waiting for you for a long time. She can't wait to talk."

"That's a good feeling. Let's go see the old lady now."

The two elders of the He family didn't dare to say much on such occasions, so they just laughed and nodded, a little reserved.

Shang Ji saw it, then glanced at He Shilin and said.

"Brother-in-law, if you have nothing to do, you can accompany me to welcome guests here. All the guests here are people from the court. Maybe we will have time to deal with him in the future."

When He Shilin heard this, his eyes were filled with astonishment.

The second elder of the He family couldn't even speak.

Naturally, they would not think that this huge favor was given by Shang Ji because their son was excellent, but they knew clearly that it was because his son was the uncle of the Du family.

Therefore, Shang Jigao can take a look.

The Du family has no sons, only two daughters who support each other, so the aunts and uncles have a good relationship, which is a good thing.

The Du family and his wife glanced at Shang Ji and were also grateful.

"Would this be inconsistent with etiquette?"

Mr. Du asked uncertainly.

Shang Ji smiled and said.

"The General's Mansion is hosting, what's wrong with me asking my brother-in-law to accompany us to welcome the guests? Don't worry, father-in-law, it's all right."

Hearing him say this, the Du and He couples did not refuse.

He Shilin also knew that this was his brother-in-law paving the way for him, so he said gratefully.

"Then I'd rather obey your order than respectfully."

After saying that, he walked to Shang Zhiping's side and stood behind Shang Ji.

There was no flattery in his eyes, nor was there any guilt, and it could be seen that he was a confident person.

Seeing this, Shang Ji's smile increased by two or three points.

Xing Zhao, who was standing aside, brought a few people into the mansion and went to see Mrs. Gu and the others first.

For the housewarming banquet, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi and his wife sent out invitations.

Those who could come would not be ordinary people, so they were not only punctual, but also slightly ahead of time.

After the three of them had seen off the Du family and the He family, people started to arrive one after another.

Although Shang Ji had only been back in Sui'an City for a few months, he had attended court and met people he should know, and he would greet the people he should be familiar with as soon as he got off the carriage.

After Shang Zhiping had experienced the world of meeting people in the Duke's Mansion last time, he was not so nervous this time.

Every time someone came, he would silently repeat in his mind who this person was?

Then he would listen to how his sixth uncle went forward to greet them.
