Chapter 223 First Acquaintance
After Mrs. Li said this, Sanlang Yan's expression was not shy at all.
He has been living outside for so many years and has never heard any jokes. It would be shameful for his sister-in-law to take him down with just a few words.
It's a pity that Uncle Weiyuan didn't give him this chance and said with a cold snort.
"Putting your future on a woman is a useless thing. If I don't marry this young lady from the Gu family for you, will you be wasted like this for the rest of your life?"
When this curse was spoken, no one dared to refute it.
Especially Shiro. Although he is young, it does not mean that he does not know that he and his third brother are both useless in the eyes of his father, so he shrinks back in fear.
However, the Sanlang of the Yan family was a thick-skinned person, and he was not afraid of his father's scolding. Instead, he said with a faint smile.
"Didn't my father also bet everything in the family on the second sister (the Crown Princess)? Who are you qualified to say anything about me?"
After saying this, he took a long step back to avoid Wei Yuanbo's wrath.
"Treason!"
Mrs. Bo and Mr. Yan pulled Uncle Wei Yuan from left to right and tried to persuade him.
"Master, please don't argue with the child. This is the East Palace. Don't let others see our joke with the Crown Princess."
"What mother said is true, father, calm down!"
Afterwards, Mrs. Bo pretended to scold her son.
"If you don't leave yet, won't you make your father angry if you stay here?"
Sanlang Yanjia has seen this kind of scene since he was a child. Anyway, he is not the best son in his father's heart, so he doesn't bother to be the most obedient.
With a twist of his head, he turned around and left outside. Silang of the Yan family had always been the third brother's follower, so he ran away after him.
Seeing this, Wei Yuanbo also hated iron and said.
"A loving mother often loses her son, and as the eldest brother, you dote on your younger brother every day. Look at the two of them, you are almost going to embarrass the face of our Earl of Weiyuan Mansion."
Hearing this, Mrs. Bo's eyes flashed with discomfort.
It was obvious that Saburo was also a smart person when he was young, but he couldn't satisfy the uncle in anything he did, and he gradually began to exile himself.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Bo looked at her husband quite resentfully and said.
"Sanlang's temper has never been unruly, and I always use a certain method to deal with it. How can I teach a good child?"
"Humph, are you blaming me?"
Although Mrs. Bo didn't speak, her meaning was very clear.
Shilang Yan and his wife, Mrs. Li, looked at each other, fearing that the quarrel that broke out at home would happen again in the East Palace, they immediately pulled them apart and went to two places to comfort each other.
Mrs. Bo didn't want to shed tears in the East Palace and let others see the joke, so she kept holding back, but her eyes were red, which made her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, sigh.
"Why bother quarreling, mother-in-law? If someone with a temper like Sanlang's can be warned by a good wife, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. Let's just put more effort into Miss Gu's family."
Although she didn't like her father-in-law's strict fatherly attitude, he was always scolding her, but he was her father-in-law and her elder, so she couldn't comment on him.
After listening to Mrs. Li's words, Mrs. Bo also tolerated the tone in her heart for a while and said to Mrs. Li.
"What you say makes sense, we have to act quickly, otherwise we will only have long nights and dreams."
In the eyes of other aristocratic families, Miss Gu's family may have to weigh whether she can bring much help from her natal family, but for their Weiyuan Earl's Mansion, as long as she lives a good life with Saburo.
In this regard, it is much more pure than many others.
But it's a pity that Gu Xiaolang became interested in the matter as soon as they thought about it.
Apart from anything else, she was not happy with the fact that the Earl of Weiyuan wanted to buy and sell by force, so she didn't even look at Sanlang of the Yan family, and excluded him out of preconceived ideas.
After several people came out of the back room, they walked back to the front along the corridor.
Seeing that Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Guo San and Xue Niang were all talking happily, Du Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
So he smiled and said to his husband and Prince Bin.
"If the general and the crown prince have anything to do, just go and get busy. I will just stay with Mrs. Guo."
Without Mrs. Gu, they would not have an elder to look after them, so it was much safer to be with Mrs. Guo. At least in terms of seniority and power, it seemed that Mrs. Gu was the most senior in the room.
Shang Ji looked at the sky and saw that it was almost time to use the table. He estimated that there wouldn't be much commotion at Earl Weiyuan's Mansion, so he nodded and replied.
"In that case, I will take the prince to see Mr. Wen first, and I will come to see you later."
"good."
After Du Jingyi said this, Gu Xiaolang took a step forward and said to Prince Bin.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for rescuing the siege. I will keep this in my heart."
"You're welcome, Miss Gu. Xiao Wang just happened to be passing by."
As soon as he said these words, everyone present understood that he was not someone who wanted to take credit based on this, so they also liked him a little more.
After the two of them bowed slightly and saluted, Shang Ji took the Crown Prince and left the place.
Not far away, when Xue Niang saw her sister-in-law and cousin appearing, she walked over quickly. Her face was much more relaxed than when she first entered the East Palace. It was obvious that she was chatting with the two elders of the Guo family. Come.
Old Lady Guo and Third Lady Guo were both old people who had lived in the back house. How could they not see that Gu Xiaolang's face was not very good? After a little thought, they knew that she must be uninterested in the marriage with the Crown Princess's family.
Although the Crown Princess was the granddaughter-in-law of their Guo family, the Guo family would not embarrass or force the Gu family because of this.
So Old Lady Guo stepped forward and said to Du Jingyi tacitly.
"I like you girls. You can sit with me from now on."
Hearing this, Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaolang understood that this was to help them out. There were many people from the Guo family who came today, so it was natural that the Weiyuan Earl's Mansion would not come to join in the fun.
Gu Xiaolang was so eager that he almost engraved his excitement in his eyes.
The two people from the Guo family were also very distressed when they saw this scene.
If the men of the Gu family were still there, how could the Weiyuan Earl's Mansion force the only daughter of the Gu family!
The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to protect her.
After that, with Madam Guo protecting him, no one dared to come and make trouble. Even if they did, they would just exchange a few polite words.
When it was time to sit down, the women of the Guo family sat at the same table with Du Jingyi and the other three. Xue Niang and Gu Xiaolang sat next to Madam Guo, pushing her granddaughter away.
