Chapter 278 Neighbors

The fourth prince also had a look of "admiration" on his face, and then he said.

"So it's the brother of the Wei family, no need to be polite, you and Qilang should be cousins."

The fourth prince knew something about the relationship between the Duke's Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion, so he used this as a start to win over Wei Jiaheng.

Who knew that Wei Jiaheng was actually a man who came to the door and said it right away.

"The fourth prince has good eyesight and good memory. Qilang is indeed my cousin."

Shang Qilang quietly watched the way Wei Jiaheng and the fourth prince tried to make friends, and he felt disdainful in his heart. He was still struggling about whether to join the fourth prince's camp, but this cousin was about to integrate into it very quickly.

So seeing this situation, Shang Qilang silently stepped back half a step and gave his seat to Wei Jiaheng.

And he and the fourth prince were rare "confidants". They had already become brothers in a few words, which was really sigh-worthy and ridiculous.

With the addition of Wei Jiaheng, the attention of the Fourth Prince was diverted a lot. Seeing this, Shang Qilang found an excuse and left for a while.

He walked to the corridor not far away and watched the people toasting and drinking at the table. He had many different thoughts in his mind.

Especially after walking around, he locked his eyes on the Fourth Prince. Seeing his posture of winning over, he sighed after a while.

Is a son of a noble family like Wei Jiaheng really useful in the real road to succession?

Shang Qilang had many doubts.

The Fourth Prince did this, and it can be seen that he is not a very smart person, but his mother and sister paved the way for him so far, and insisted that he board the Fourth Prince's ship. At this moment, he felt an indescribable discomfort.

He sighed a few times. If there was a choice, who would not want to vote under a wise monarch? Obviously, the Crown Prince is much better than the Fourth Prince.

And there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers on both sides, and the situation is much better than it is now.

He was confident that if he could join the group, he would definitely be able to make a career. But now, he was confused. He wanted to join the Eastern Palace but couldn't get in. He didn't want to follow the Fourth Prince but there seemed to be no way to escape.

Shang Qilang was in a dilemma.

But he was in a dilemma. On the other side, Shang Sanlang, with the opportunity to show his face in front of the prince and his "friendship" with Shang Ji, got the "excellent" performance evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel, so he was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Rites.

He was responsible for the audience with foreign countries and the four barbarians, and had a close relationship with the Honglu Temple. If he worked hard, he would be able to develop in the Honglu Temple in the future.

Therefore, after knowing that he was promoted, the people of the third room were now quite grateful to the General's Mansion.

Now that Erlang's wife was no longer in charge, the people of the third room in Guihua Lane followed Shang Sanlang's lead.

Compared with his grandfather and father, he had more serious ideas, so he restrained everyone from top to bottom and did not let them do anything reckless. The power of the backyard was also handed over to his wife, so Guihua Lane was safe and stable.

However, their peaceful days would soon be over, because the fifth room of the fifth old master was gone in the first month, and the whole family would move in in the next two days.

Living in Guihua Lane together, they were once "one family", so naturally they were inseparable, so Sanlang's wife specifically explained the interests to everyone.

"Only Sanlang has a promising future in the family. If he can become successful in the future, our family will also benefit from it. But if grandparents, parents-in-law and second brother insist on making trouble at this critical moment, then the prosperity of our third room may come to an end."

"Why do you say that? Isn't Sanlang fine? He has even won the favor of the nobleman."

"The granddaughter-in-law doesn't want to scare him like that, but everyone has heard about Liulang's temper these days. Uncle didn't go when the Guo family offered the marriage proposal, and now he can't even knock on the door of the general's mansion. We will never be closer to him than Uncle. If we anger him, I don't need to say more about the consequences."

Hearing this, everyone stopped.

Since moving out of the Duke's Mansion for half a year, they have finally known what a cold pot and a cold stove means, so they didn't dare to say anything. Now they can spend two days of peace and quiet.

Especially the Third Old Master, whose Fifth Brother was a few years younger than him, and now he was buried in the earth, so it was better to hide.

Seeing that everyone was very obedient, the Third Old Master’s wife did not say anything more.

Instead, she thought of ways to find some good things and wait for the nephew of the General’s Mansion to send them when he was one month old, so that she could show her face in front of the Sixth Old Master’s wife.

Time passed, and it was May in a blink of an eye.

The weather was getting hotter day by day, especially Du Jingyi, who was still in confinement, and she would sweat slightly in the past two days.

At this time of year in previous years, ice would be used in the house, but now her body could not bear it, so she could only postpone it.

However, fortunately, the windows could be ventilated to let the wind blow occasionally, so it was not too stuffy.

Mrs. Du had been staying in the General’s Mansion for half a month, taking care of Du Jingyi and Tai Ge’er every day, and she looked much thinner.

It can be seen that taking care of children is not an ordinary tiring thing.

Shang Ji was not idle either. After she gave birth, he asked for leave at home. At first, there were people talking about it outside, but soon he was "idle" at home openly.

Because he accidentally "fell" and injured his leg while serving the emperor. After the imperial physician treated him, he said that he had to rest for three months, otherwise his leg injury would not heal.

When Du Jingyi heard the news, he was shocked.

At first, she was worried, but then she suddenly remembered what her husband said to her that day, and realized that it was probably his own fault.

She felt distressed and helpless.

Now, one of the couple is in confinement after childbirth, and the other is recovering from a leg injury. They really lived up to the saying: Don't go out of the front door, don't go out of the back door.

She devoted herself to raising the child, and the effect was very good.

When Tai Ge'er was born, he had a good physical foundation, and after half a month, he opened his eyes, smiled, and even cried louder than before.

The wet nurse's food intake also increased a lot, because she said that the boy had a good appetite, and she had to make up for it.

At the beginning, Mrs. Du said that she would find a good wet nurse for Tai Ge'er to feed together, but Tai Ge only sucked the wet nurse's, so there was nothing she could do, so she could only feed the wet nurse with all her strength.

Maybe it was because the wet nurse Fu had good milk, and the baby naturally grew fast because he ate more, so Brother Tai gained a lot of weight and looked even stronger than Brother Yun did at the same age.

"After all, he is the son of a military commander, and his bloodline is here. Look at how strong Brother Tai has grown!"
