Chapter 248 Other Family Members

"Prime Minister Guo and Mrs. Guo really value our Snow Lady. They are just showing favor. They only sent these things. Your wife and I are discussing how to add these to Snow Lady's dowry and bring them back to her. Bar."

Shang Ji read it from beginning to end. It would be okay if he accepted the gold, jade and stoneware, but there were also some treasured antiques, calligraphy, paintings and unique books inside, which made them seem valuable.

The Guo family is not a sect that has been around for hundreds of years, so it is not easy to have these things. Therefore, Shang Ji also means the same.

"Sister-in-law, let me decide. I can do it."

"Okay, then I'll make the arrangements right now. You can sit with your wife."

Shang Ji nodded, and after she left, he said to Du Jingyi.

"Don't you think my sister-in-law smiles a lot more these days and does things more neatly than before? In the past, if things like this happened, she would have a headache and worry about this and that, and she couldn't make up her mind. Now she looks a little stiff. It’s time to marry into the Duke’s palace.”

After hearing what Shang Ji said, Du Jingyi laughed.

Back then, I was proud of the spring breeze, but now I want money, money, and people. When life becomes smoother, who will have trouble with me?

"This is a good thing. My sister-in-law can open her heart and live a more comfortable life in the future. In a few days, won't Ping'er have to follow cousin Zhao back to Jinling City? Xue Niang's marriage is quite busy for her. ”

"Well, speaking of this, you were quite impressive in Xu Laiyuan today. You scolded Cousin Lang, who we all support, into a human being."

Du Jingyi asked teasingly.

"Is the general feeling distressed?"

"Nonsense! I'm telling you something serious."

Du Jingyi adjusted his clothes and then said calmly.

"It's not a scolding, I just think that some of her thoughts are too unrealistic. Now my grandmother is protecting me. In the future, with her temperament, I will be able to withstand what will happen next. Facing the storm?"

Du Jingyi didn't know about other things.

But once the matter of Shang Ji changing his surname to Gu and joining the Gu family was made public, the opposition was not limited to the Duke of Guo's family.

Presumably the relatives of the Gu family in Jinling City will not give up. In this situation, it is Shang Ji and she who can hold on. If those people take advantage of Gu Xiaolang's loophole, they will be attacked from both sides.

Therefore, it is better to break the abscess early to avoid recurrence of trouble later.

Shang Ji understood what Du Jingyi meant.

So I told her bluntly.

"My husband already knows Madam's thoughts. I also want to be a husband and wife with you for a long time. When someone else comes, I will throw out one. I will never hinder Madam's eyes."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi's cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly.

She said those words deliberately for Gu Xiaolang to hear, but who knew that her husband caught her in the act.

But she did think so in her heart, so she didn't worry about it.

Nodding, he held Shang Ji's hand and said.

"The white heads are not separated."

"good."

The following days were short but warm. It was rare for the couple to be together, so they stayed in Xitang Courtyard and refused to go out.

Xing Zhao and others have already set a return date, which will be two days later.

Shang Ji looked at the date and said bluntly that he would not be able to come back to see her off by then, so he told them to take care on the road.

There were instructions for Xing Zhao, instructions for Ping'er, and gifts entrusted to the third aunt to bring to the other two aunts. As for when he was in front of Gu Xiaolang, Shang Ji did not dodge.

He still rubbed her forehead as before and said.

"You are no longer the little cousin with a long tail. Now you are tall and graceful. It's time for you to live your life. Don't worry, if your husband dares to be disrespectful to you in the future, my cousin will make sure that he looks good all over the house!"

When these words were spoken, the boundaries were already clearly drawn.

In this life, they can only have a relationship between cousin and cousin, and there is no possibility of taking another step.

After being scolded by Du Jingyi, Gu Xiaolang figured out many things.

Even though there was still reluctance in her eyes, she also knew that some happiness and some people were not hers after all, so she sniffed and swallowed back all the soreness in her heart.

He said with a smile.

"Then I wish cousin Shaoyu and cousin-in-law a long and lasting love as husband and wife."

This was the greatest blessing she could say, so Shang Ji did not embarrass her and walked to Du Jingyi to protect her.

Gu Xiaolang forced himself not to look at this scene. Although his heart was still sour, it no longer had the same painful pain as before.

Sure enough, Du Jingyi's cousin is really good at pulling out thorns.

When Gu Xiaolang thought of this, he couldn't help but smile again. When he looked up at his grandmother, Mrs. Gu, his eyes were filled with relief.

So he stepped forward and knelt down in front of Mrs. Gu and said.

"Grandma, my granddaughter may not go north now. You have to be good here. Cousin Shaoyu is here. If something doesn't go well, just scold him to vent your anger. Anyway, he is rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Not afraid."

As soon as she said this, everyone in the Gu family laughed.

Therefore, this was Gu Xiaolang's favorite saying when he was a child, and it immediately brought everyone back to that time, as if they had been separated for a long time.

Mrs. Gu helped her stand up and said.

"Don't worry about me, old woman. Listen to your mother when you go back. Your aunt and second aunt will make arrangements. I will go back after your cousin's wife gives birth. It will take half a year. It's not a big deal."

Du Jingyi's due date is in May. From what Mrs. Gu said, she probably wants to leave after the 100-day wine party. She can also rush back to Jinling City to spend the winter. It's a good arrangement.

Seeing this, the third aunt also spoke.

"Then I'll trouble my fourth sister-in-law to take care of my mother-in-law. We'll wait for you in Jinling City."

"Don't worry, third sister-in-law, don't we still have them and this kid?"

The kid mentioned by the fourth aunt is the one in Du Jingyi's belly. She also firmly believes that it must be a son. After all, this has happened nine times in their Gu family, and the only one is Gu Xiaolang, a daughter.

She doesn't think such a rare situation will happen to Du Jingyi's first child, so she made a conclusion right away.

And the third aunt also said with a smile.

"Look at the belly, it does look like a son."

Instead, it was Old Madam Gu who stood up and added cheerfully.

"Whether it's a son or a daughter, they are my beloved great-grandchildren. I must give him a good birthday gift to let him (her) know how much his (her) great-grandmother loves him (her)!"
