Chapter 567 Disruption

"The health of the queen mother is the greatest hope in my son's heart.

After hearing this, Queen Mother Guo stopped talking.

And the court officials also shifted their minds to other places. Du Jingyi felt the disappearance of those eyes, and in his heart, he was still somewhat grateful to the queen mother for her help.

The palace banquet began step by step, with fine wine and delicious food, singing and dancing, and congratulations between toasts. Du Jingyi thought before coming that it would not be very comfortable, so when he sat in his seat, he tried his best to suppress the boredom that surged in his heart.

But many times, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.

When Madam Xing raised her glass, Du Jingyi had to take out twelve thousand spirits and answer her.

"When Madam Gu was in Jinling City, you and I didn't have much intersection. Now our Xing family is also going to settle in Sui'an City, and we need Madam Gu to give us more advice. "

"What are you talking about, Madam Xing? In terms of seniority, you are more knowledgeable than me, so you are not worthy of any advice."

Madam Xing smiled, but there was no kindness in her eyes.

"After the New Year, my third brother's wife will go north. I heard that the wife he chose is from the general's mansion. She is a lady named Xia. I wonder where this lady Xia is from and what does her family do? "

Faced with her question, Du Jingyi showed a meaningful smile on his face. These questions should obviously be asked by Aunt Xing, but she didn't say anything. Xing Zhao's aunt was very active.

But if she really wanted to ask, Du Jingyi would tell her, but looking at her condescending look, she knew that the question was false and she wanted to make a fuss about Xia Meng's background.

So, Du Jingyi curved the corners of his mouth and said.

"Let's talk about this matter in detail after Aunt arrives in Jinling City. Now the palace banquet is all about state affairs. It's always a bit inappropriate to rashly mention their marriage, don't you think, Madam Xing? "

Having hit a thorn that was neither hard nor soft, Madam Xing felt a little embarrassed.

But Du Jingyi's attitude also confirmed her guess. This Miss Xia was probably not from a good family, otherwise she would have said it directly. Why hide it like this?

Maybe she was a distant relative of hers. She was probably born into a merchant family. So she secretly felt that Xing Zhao was really unlucky. He carefully selected such a lady who was not presentable. I wonder if he was influenced by his cousin Gu Shaoyu.

Then she thought of her nephew and the daughter of Xun Xinhou. She felt uncomfortable for no reason about the good marriage, so when she looked at Du Jingyi, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said no more.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Du Jingyi did not continue to pursue the conversation.

She calmly watched the singing and dancing at the palace banquet, while Mrs. Xing on the side talked to others.

"If you ask me, the first lady should have settled in Sui'an City a long time ago. Look at how much it has changed over the years. With your Xing family here, it's even more lively, better than those ignorant people who rely on the status of their husband's family to show off. I really can't stand it."

"That's right, so I said that it's better to marry a wife who is well-matched, otherwise I'm afraid you won't even be able to say a few words. "

Madam Xing knew what was meant when she heard it, so she smiled and hid her handkerchief.

"That's what I meant, too. I carefully selected the marriages for my children. It's a pity for my third brother's wife, Zhao'er. That child has been dragging her feet and refused to get married. Now that she's older, she can't choose a marriage even if she wants to. What a pity, what a pity. "

The arrival of Madam Xing can be said to have found a way out for those noble families in Sui'an City who already had some complaints about the General's Mansion, so they all wanted to throw some dirty water on the Gu family in front of the Xing family.

The first thing is to say behind the back how clever Madam Gu is. She went from being a merchant's daughter to a first-class duke's wife who is now the master of the house. Such old-fashioned words, even if Du Jingyi heard them by mistake, didn't think there was anything wrong.

I just hope that this palace banquet will end soon.

But they just talked, and they also teased Aunt Xing and Cousin Zhao, which made Du Jingyi a little unhappy. But before she could open her mouth, she saw Xue Niang talking, and she said a few words to those ladies in a serious tone.

"It is said that women have long gossips. I used to think that the rules in the big families would be better, but I didn't expect it to be the same. His Majesty specially invited us to the palace for a reunion and joy, but we didn't listen to much of the congratulations, and we kept talking about the merits of other people's families. It's really unlucky. "

She was not like this before, but now she can make those ladies speechless. Their faces turned red and they stared at Xue Niang, wishing they could hit her to vent their anger.

However, Xue Niang's status was there, and there was Queen Mother Guo in charge.

If they really made a fuss, they would definitely not get any good results, so they could only endure it.

Madam Xing looked at her coldly, and her snort was obvious, but Xue Niang did not indulge her and turned her head. He retorted, which made Madam Xing very angry. Just as she was about to explode, Du Jingyi beside her spoke calmly.

"I heard that the imperial concubine is always well-educated and good-tempered in front of His Majesty, and Lord Xing has a good reputation among the people. He always talks about governing the country with humility and etiquette. Why do I see that Madam Xing is impatient today? It's a good day, don't get angry. If you disrupt this situation, I'm afraid the good image of the Xing family in front of His Majesty will also be greatly reduced."

Xue Niang almost clapped her hands when she heard that Sixth Sister-in-law was venting her anger.

Madam Xing suppressed her anger, looked around at Du Jingyi and Xue Niang, and said with a cold snort.

"It is said that grasshoppers love to jump after autumn. Today I have seen it. Madam Gu and Madam Guo Si are so sharp-tongued. I have lived for decades and this is the first time I have seen it. Don't they have elders to teach them?"

Madam Guo San was still sitting behind her. Hearing this was not a slap in the face. The Guo and Xing families didn't get along well, so she couldn't sit still, so she spoke up to defend them.

"I'm sorry to worry about Madam Xing. We have elders in the Guo family, but our father-in-law and mother-in-law taught us to treat people peacefully. If we meet a dog that bites our legs, we will naturally serve it with a big stick."

Three to one, even if others wanted to help, they didn't dare to speak rashly.

Madam Xing's chest was heaving with anger, but due to the situation she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger. Finally she simply grabbed the glass of wine in front of her and gulped it down, choking her and making her cough continuously. She soon attracted the attention of the emperor and others.
