Chapter 168: More Temptations

Sure enough, it was Mrs. Gu, who had seen a big scene, and Du Jingyi wondered for a moment if someone in the Gu family in the past often drank down at the dinner table?

After eating for half an hour, I saw that everyone was a little full.

Mama Dou asked people to remove the table and prepare tea.

Shang Ji and Xing Zhao next to them obviously fell asleep, but fortunately, they both slept quite quietly and didn't make much movement.

Such a scene made the third aunt extremely emotional.

"It's been so many years, and I can't remember the last time my father-in-law and Saburo were so drunk."

As soon as these words came out, her sad mood came up a lot.

Mrs. Xing and Xue Niang comforted left and right, but the fourth aunt and sister-in-law Liu also seemed to be in deep thought and did not speak more.

The originally happy atmosphere cooled down a little for a moment.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi could only divert the topic and say.

"With the snow in Ancheng in the past two days, the snow has fallen a lot, and the mountains behind the general's mansion can be piled up, in order to do the banquet in two days, the granddaughter-in-law specially invited a few masters from the north to build the snow scene, if the grandmother and aunts like it, you can go and see it then."

A master who specializes in building snow scenes in the Northland?

This was the first time I had heard of it, so the slightly sad atmosphere was drawn back into curiosity.

Snow Lady is small, so she is naturally curious about these things.

So he said with a smile.

"The sixth sister-in-law's idea must be good, I'll go see it tomorrow!"

After saying this, he didn't forget to pull the sleeves of the two aunts and sisters-in-law, and said enthusiastically.

"Aunts and uncles, sisters-in-law, let's go and have a look."

A few people couldn't resist Xue Niang's coquettishness, so they also smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Old Madam Gu glanced at Du Jingyi superfluously, and some satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

After sitting down for a while, Shang Ji and Xing Zhao were sent back to their respective rooms to rest by the little servants brought by Steward He.

It's almost time to disperse when the reception banquet arrives, but after seeing that everyone is ready to get up and disperse, Old Madam Gu is sitting still.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi also understood that she had something to say to her.

So, after arranging for everyone to leave, he said to the cherry behind him.

"You go outside and keep guard, and you can't come in without my orders."

"Yes, young lady."

Mama Qin, who was beside Old Madam Gu, saw it and said softly.

"Old lady, the slave went out first."

"Well, go ahead."

"Yes."

After everyone left, only Old Madam Gu and Du Jingyi were left in the flower hall.

This is the first time the two have been together alone, which is somewhat embarrassing.

But Du Jingyi had even seen Queen Guo, so when facing Old Madam Gu, although she was a little nervous, she didn't show it.

Seeing that she was still quite calm, Old Madam Gu smiled faintly and said.

"The general's mansion is well taken care of, and it can be seen that you are a person who can live."

"Thank you grandmother for the compliment."

"I deliberately left you here today to speak alone, do you know why?"

"My granddaughter-in-law doesn't know, so I ask my grandmother to teach me."

When she heard this, Old Madam Gu glanced at Du Jingyi fixedly, as if she wanted to see if she really didn't know or not.

But although Du Jingyi is young, he has a lot of experience in business.

For so many years, disguise has become an indispensable thing for her, so there is no trace of pretending to be innocent.

Looking at each other silently, Du Jingyi was not weak-hearted.

Seeing this, Old Lady Gu retracted her suspicions, and instead sighed and said.

"But my wife is a little cautious."

When Du Jingyi heard this, he roughly understood that what he was going to talk about today was probably about this cousin Lang.

Fortunately, she got affirmation from her husband at noon, so she was more confident.

She wanted to see how the Gu family planned to speak?

As a result, I heard Old Madam Gu say with some sighs.

"I have seen infinite scenery and smooth sailing in my life, but that was only ten years ago, my mother's family is precious, my husband's family is glorious, my children and grandchildren are full, and my family is safe, I can say it boldly, there are few people who can be as comfortable as me."

"At that time, my thoughts about Shaoyu were to hope that he could realize his full talent, find someone who would grow old together, and live a comfortable life."

Old Madam Gu recalled the events of the year while talking, and Du Jingyi listened quietly on the side and did not say much.

"But God didn't give me this opportunity, and also gave Shaoyu this opportunity, the Gu family fell, I couldn't hold it at that time, and his aunts and uncles couldn't hold it either, I originally planned to go with the old and young masters of the Gu family, but Shaoyu saved us."

When Du Jingyi heard this, she was slightly surprised, probably she didn't expect to have such an experience.

Those who loved one died at the same time, and those who were left did not want to live.

At that time, he was not yet in the age of a weak crown, and he had to bear so much pressure.

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi's heart became more and more distressed.

But then, Old Madam Gu chuckled and continued.

"People who have experienced death once are not afraid of anything, and the reason why I am still holding on now is for Lang'er to have a little worry."

Although Shang Zhiping and Xue Niang are also her bloodline, it is different from the friendship between Shang Ji and Gu Xiaolang.

"So, I'm hoping for the two of them to be well, do you know what I mean?"

Du Jingyi's heart was cold for most of the time, and Mrs. Gu was punished when she came up, what else could she do?

Even if she doesn't want to, it seems that this cousin Lang has to marry in, right?

Thinking of this, her face sank.

While looking at Old Madam Gu's Shi Wei, she was also struggling.

But Shang Ji's words during the day were like an invisible reliance that gave her the courage to face Old Madam Gu, so she thought about it for a while and spoke.

"My grandmother's grandmother understands what my granddaughter-in-law meant, but I don't want to, and I won't allow Cousin Lang to enter the General's Mansion."

Hearing this, Old Madam Gu deliberately sank her face, and she looked at Du Jingyi and said.

"My wife has patiently told you so much, but she still doesn't understand, does she? Do you think you can stop it? If I open my mouth, Shaoyu only has to agree, do you really think that you are so important that you can compete with the Gu family's kindness to him? ”

The words were like Mount Tai, and they were pressed down.

If it were someone else, I was afraid that I would have been forced to retreat by the pressure of Old Madam Gu.

But Du Jingyi is Du Jingyi, she not only has a way to retreat, but she doesn't want to retreat at all.

Said more seriously to Old Madam Gu.

"The grandmother's kindness, the general must keep it in mind and will reciprocate, but this is not a condition for the granddaughter-in-law to compromise, not to mention that the general has no intention of Cousin Lang, it is impossible to welcome her into the general's mansion, even if there is such a possibility, the granddaughter-in-law is not a person who can wronged herself."
