Chapter 238 Meat in the Pot
"If you are willing, feed the baby colostrum for a few days. Although there are wet nurses in families like ours, it is the biological mother who is most suitable after all. However, the body shape will change a little, it depends on you. The decision was made.”
After Mrs. Feng said this, she looked at Du Jingyi's slightly grown chest, and the meaning was very clear.
Du Jingyi had never heard of this method before. After her sister gave birth, a wet nurse had been feeding Brother Yun, so she really didn't know.
So he smiled and replied.
"Okay, I'll take a look when the time comes. If Madam Feng's method is good, I will definitely prepare a generous gift to thank you."
"Well, if Sixth Sister-in-law is happy, just invite me to your house for two more cups of tea."
"If you come, can I still refuse to let you in?"
Du Jingyi made a joke with Mrs. Feng Shao, but others felt envious in their hearts when they saw it. Mrs. Feng Shao's mouth was really like a magpie in the sky, and she could make anyone happy.
The two people who had obviously not spoken to each other a month or two ago were actually on good terms now.
Mrs. Ji looked at it and wanted to get involved in their conversation, but unfortunately she was a little cautious about her words because of her careless sentence just now.
Guests gathered at the banquet, and before the excitement here had ended, it started again in another place.
In the Gu family, there is a wing specially prepared for the prince and princess.
At this moment, the Crown Princess and her family were sitting inside and taking a rest.
Mrs. Bo and Mrs. Li, the assistant minister's wife, both looked a little gloomy because they wanted to call Gu Xiaolang over to talk. However, she always followed Mrs. Gu and was never alone for a moment.
Mrs. Gu also had a reputation for being serious in the past, so it was not easy to offend anyone.
I can only watch the "meat in the pot" helplessly, but I still can't get it into my own bowl, so I am very powerless.
When the Crown Princess saw this, her eyes were filled with displeasure.
After all, she had somewhat figured out what Gu Xiaolang meant. Although her younger brother wasn't much better off, Miss Gu's behavior was still a bit embarrassing.
So she spoke frankly to Mrs. Bo and Mrs. Li, the assistant minister's wife.
"Mom and sister-in-law should look at other girls. I don't think they will hang themselves from a tree."
After hearing this, Mrs. Bo also sighed.
"We are not blind, so we can certainly see clearly. But now your third brother is stuck in it. I finally have the opportunity to pull him out of the mud. I am always unwilling to miss it."
"But isn't this just throwing the face of our Earl's Palace to the ground?"
"As long as your third brother can be as good as before, I will do anything with my old face. I feel that there is still no chance for them to be alone together, so she doesn't know how good our San Lang is. If we can arrange an opportunity..."
Mrs. Bo was ill and rushed to the doctor. What she said was interrupted by Mrs. Li, the minister's wife, who frowned and said seriously.
"Mother-in-law, please don't talk nonsense. If you stay alone, won't this ruin Miss Gu's reputation? If people find out and make a big fuss, let alone someone will take this opportunity to suppress our Earl's Mansion for being ignorant of etiquette. If the Crown Princess is implicated, , isn’t it worth the loss?”
"Although the Gu family is in decline, look at General Shang, who is protecting her with all his life. If his grandmother makes a fuss, won't he support her? Don't let others take advantage of her."
The words of Mrs. Li, the assistant minister's wife, were like a basin of cold water, which immediately made Mrs. Bo wake up.
He quickly took the hands of the Crown Princess and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, and said.
"That's right, that's right. Now is the critical moment. Donggong can't do anything wrong because of us."
The princess felt happy that her family members were sensible, but she also felt that her brother was innocent, so she thought about it and said it.
"Since my brother likes it, there is no reason to disappoint him. I will discuss this matter with His Highness. With his intervention, I guess these things can be done with twice the result with half the effort."
In the heart of the princess, the prince is the future emperor.
When he opens his mouth, it is equivalent to granting a marriage.
Then even if the Gu family is not happy, it will be difficult to find an excuse to object.
Moreover, she felt that due to her family's family status, it was not a big deal for her younger brother to marry Miss Gu. If they got married, they would be able to live in harmony.
She can also further strengthen the relationship between her natal family and the General's Palace, thereby stabilizing her position as the Crown Princess. She will be happy to do things that achieve multiple goals with one stone.
After listening to her words, Mrs. Bo also treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
After all, in the past two days, their posts sent from the Earl's Palace to the General's Palace have been rejected two or three times. Obviously, taking their own route will not lead to any good results.
Maybe the Crown Princess takes action and things can change.
In the main hall, Gu Xiaolang, who was standing next to Mrs. Gu, didn't know what he was going to face next. He just followed Mrs. Gu obediently and quietly.
He doesn't say much, doesn't express himself, and his whole person is low-key.
But some people are actually pearls rather than fish eyes, so even if they are deliberately submerged in the crowd, they can still attract attention.
Mrs. Guo could tell that the young masters present were interested in Gu Xiaolang, but Gu Xiaolang had no interest in them.
So when no one was paying attention, he whispered something in Mrs. Gu's ear.
"If you don't mean to do it, ask Lang'er to return to Jinling City as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knows what will happen if you have long nights and many dreams."
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Mrs. Gu understood what she meant.
Originally, they had planned to go north only a few months ago, but now they had to wait until Du Jingyi gave birth before making plans, so they might have to delay for a few more days.
But Mrs. Guo was right to remind her that she couldn't just keep rejecting invitations.
So she looked at Xing Zhao. He and Shang Zhiping had originally planned to leave Sui'an City in March. Otherwise, why not arrange for the third daughter-in-law and Lang'er to go back with them?
In this way, she could feel more at ease.
Thinking of this, she replied to Mrs. Guo.
"Don't worry, I understand."
The two elders exchanged glances, full of understanding, and then chatted with others as if nothing had happened. The whole banquet was full of lively chats.
This coming-of-age ceremony banquet was lively until the evening.
Originally, the coming-of-age ceremony banquet would have left one after another after lunch.
But the prince was probably in high spirits, so he stayed and had dinner.
Therefore, no one present was willing to move unless they had something to do at home.
At this time, the more eyes you can get, the better. No one is a fool who would not take advantage of such a good opportunity.
