It's a pity that no amount of kindness and righteousness can withstand the collapse of the Gu family.

A loyal and good family, all lost in the battle of Jince, it is also embarrassing.

When Jinling City was mentioned, Shang Ji was stunned for a moment, but was soon interrupted by Du Jingyi's words.

"Daddy, what about the gold belt that my daughter asked her to make for you? Why don't you see you with you? But don't like it? ”

This is the first time Shang Ji has seen such a smart and lively Du Jingyi.

The round and immature face is full of naughty spirit.

A pair of smart eyes, flickering at Master Du, there is also a cunning in it.

Let people know at a glance that he is also a little fox who has become a spirit.

It's just that he wears sheepskin, and he pretends to be well-behaved on weekdays.

Master Du pretended to snort twice and complained.

"Do you dare to say that the gold belt is dead, and every time you take it with your father, you can't even walk, how can you still go outside to show off? You're not afraid that someone will be jealous and snatch it? ”

Du Jingyi smiled when he heard this.

Then he spread his hands and said quite innocently.

"Daddy, this is wronging his daughter, I thought that you have been too fat over the years, so people deliberately made a gold belt for you to wear, and reminded you all the time, eat less and move more, who let you take it outside to show off?"

Master Du reached out and touched his round belly, and immediately burst out laughing.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi also patted his father's belly with a smile.

It caused everyone to chuckle along.

This scene of father's kindness and filial piety was seen every day in the Du family in the past.

Otherwise, there would be no "gossip" about Master Du's love for his daughter.

But since the two daughters got married, there has been no such laughter.

Now that the father-daughter relationship of the past can be reproduced, the four maids and Cai's mother who came back with Du Jingyi are also full of joy.

Jokes are jokes, but business still has to be done.

Today is the return ceremony, according to the rules, the Du family and his wife will be bowed and drunk tea by Shang Ji and Du Jingyi.

But because of Shang Ji's current identity, he canceled the kneeling and just offered tea.

Therefore, the Du family and his wife sat upright, and there was no futon in front of them.

When Du Jingyi saw it, he knew it in his heart.

The state rites are more important than the family rules, and at the same time, the merchants are also lighter than the courtiers.

An eternal truth.

A trace of loss flashed in his eyes, but there was also helplessness.

"Second Miss, Second Aunt Tea."

Cai's mother next to her took the lacquer plate, and then shouted loudly.

Shang Ji came out of the room, and then knelt down with a flick of his shirt.

This kind of behavior shocked the people present.

The old man of the Du family hurriedly waved his hand and stepped forward to help him.

He said with some nervousness in his mouth.

"I can't help it, I can't help it, second aunt get up quickly."

Du Jingyi, who was next to him, was surprised, but he quickly knelt down.

He also held a cup of tea in his hand, restrained his laughter, and was a little more sincere than ever.

"Daddy, mother, it's not easy for you to give birth to me, now that my daughter is married, it is natural to bring her husband back to the door for tea, so you don't have to excuse yourself, drink it quickly."

When Shang Ji heard this, he respectfully held the teacup in his hand and said to the second elder of the Du family.

"This tea should have been honored to my father-in-law and mother-in-law three years ago, but it is the responsibility of the son-in-law, so I have to delay it until today, and I ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to forgive me."

Hearing their words, the Du family and his wife glanced at each other.

After nodding slightly, he immediately took the tea in the hands of the two of them, and took a big sip to express his gratitude.

The two elders had a relieved expression in their eyes.

It is not only moved by the attention of her daughter's husband, but also the treatment of Shang Ji's uncle.

"Okay, get up, get up."

As she spoke, Mrs. Du got up and helped the two of them by the hand.

Then someone brought a tray up.

There was a simple box inside, not big, and it wasn't too heavy to look at.

Shang Ji didn't know why, so it was difficult to answer out loud.

But Du Jingyi understood it.

That's the weight of the family wealth that the Du family has saved over the years, how can it be taken out?

Isn't it the second uncle and the sixth uncle and grandfather who are forcing them again?

His face was much worse than just now.

Mrs. Du also saw her daughter's expression, but she had to show a very calm face.

Then he said.

"Uncle is back, your husband and wife are living in peace, this is a little bit of our old couple's heart, I hope you husband and wife will grow old together."

When Shang Ji heard this, he hugged his fists and said.

"Mother-in-law rest assured, son-in-law remember."

The respectful and pious attitude made the Du family and his wife feel at ease.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi's eyes showed a lot of worry.

But because of the presence of her husband Jun Shangji, she couldn't ask directly.

I could only take the box and say softly.

"My daughter will take good care of it."

Master Du stretched out his hand and stroked her forehead as before, without saying anything.

But the concern and pity revealed moved everyone present.

Just as a few people were feeling nostalgic, they heard hurried footsteps at the door.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the housekeeper Uncle Liu trotting in with a blank face and said a word.

"Sir, madam, someone from this family has come."

Hearing this, Shang Ji could clearly feel his wife's originally calm and sad atmosphere, and soon revealed anger.

Look, it seems that the people from this family are not popular with the Lord's family.

It's just that he doesn't know the full picture at the moment, so it's hard to comment.

So he just stood aside with his hands and didn't make a sound.

But if you look closely, your complexion has returned to the same look as in the Guogong Mansion, and it is more cold.

Master Du and Mrs. Du frowned, these people are really shameless.

It has long been made clear that no outsiders can disturb them today, but they still come up one by two.

What kind of calculation and idea they have in their hearts, they can think about it clearly with their toes.

Naturally, there is no good expression.

So, Mrs. Du immediately made a decision and said immediately.

"Uncle Liu, invite them to Mao Diexuan, and the master and I will go over later."

"Yes, ma'am."

Then, Mrs. Nadu smiled and said to her daughter and son-in-law.

"The first time my uncle came to the house, let Tang Tang take you around, I will deal with some things with my lord, and we will have dinner together later."

The implication is that he does not intend to involve Shang Ji and Du Jingyi and his wife.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi was deeply worried.

But Mrs. Du's words have always been unquestionable to others, and Du Jingyi understands this very well.

So he replied.

"Mother can rest assured that her daughter will greet her."

"Hmm."

After saying this, the Du family and his wife got up and walked out of the Mingse Courtyard and went straight to Mao Diexuan.
