Chapter 170: Something to Ask For
Mrs. Wei naturally followed, but unfortunately she was stopped by Mama Qin.
She was born with kind eyebrows, but now she said with a blank face.
"The old lady only said that she would invite Grandpa Guo to come in and meet her, as for Mrs. Wei, let's wait outside."
In a word, Mrs. Wei was very embarrassed.
Looking at Shang Yukuan, his eyes were full of grievances.
"This ...... This is not appropriate, Mama Qin, we are here to meet my mother-in-law together, don't let her in, okay? ”
"The old slave is only responsible for passing the word, if the grandfather of the country has any dissatisfaction, he can tell the old lady himself."
She looked like she didn't eat oil and salt, so Shang Yukuan didn't dare to say anything.
Originally, when facing the Gu family, he was always a little bit vain, not to mention that they were still dwarves coming to the door.
I had to say to Mrs. Wei.
"Wait, I'll go in and say a few words to my mother-in-law and come out."
"Old man......"
Mrs. Wei was unwilling, but she couldn't do it.
In the end, I had to watch Shang Yukuan enter the door, and then she blew a cold wind under the porch, and no one came out to lead her to the side room to sit.
It's really a trip for nothing and suffering such humiliation.
As soon as Shang Yukuan entered the house, he felt a lot warmer, and compared to the outside, it was as comfortable as spring.
He was a little surprised, but he didn't know why.
After looking around, he felt that this house seemed to be different from the past, but before he could speak, he saw that he had already arrived in front of Old Madam Gu.
Over the years, Shang Yukuan was a little scared every time he saw Old Madam Gu.
This kind of fear is not a bad thing, but I simply feel that Old Madam Gu's momentum is too strong, so I can only salute Old Madam Gu with an embarrassed smile and say.
"My son-in-law has seen my mother-in-law, is my mother-in-law okay?"
Old Madam Gu didn't even raise her head more, but just took the tea at hand and drank it.
As for Gu Xiaolang, he has already hidden behind the screen on the inside, after all, it is an unmarried girl's house, and it is not good to meet more with "outsiders".
Seeing that Old Madam Gu didn't answer, Shang Yukuan was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the beads of sweat on his forehead were about to come out, the old lady Gu slowly spoke.
"Let Grandpa Guo worry, my wife is very good."
Hearing this, Shang Yukuan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said.
"Mother-in-law, this time I will go north, it will take a few more days, so that I can ...... Let Liulang, Xue Niang, and they do their filial piety. ”
When he said this, he was a little sincere, but unfortunately listening to it made Old Madam Gu show a hint of sneer.
Since Mrs. Gu was gone, he had very little contact with the Gu family.
In the past few years, I would remember to send some things to Jinling City, but now the same things will only be sent to the Wei family.
is really a son of heaven and a courtier, and his heart is really cold.
Old Madam Gu's face didn't move, she only glanced at him indifferently, and then said lightly.
"Grandpa Guo, just say it directly, the friendship between us can't be guilty of saying this."
Hearing this, Shang Yukuan's face was a lot more ugly.
Old Madam Gu's directness made him a little unable to get off the stage, and he naturally knew that he had no position to say the next words.
But for the sake of the people at home, he had to go this way, so no matter how embarrassed he was, he had to speak.
"Mother-in-law laughed, when you returned from the north this time, you naturally want to hold a reception banquet, and the son-in-law heard that the posts in the General's Mansion on the 19th have been sent out, and a lot of royal family members have been invited, so ...... So I thought that I should bring the children over to have a lively time, after all, we are all a family. ”
After listening to what he said, let alone Old Madam Gu, even Mama Qin on the side felt disgusted.
It sounds good to be lively, but in fact, don't you just want to get in touch with these dignitaries?
The two sons and one daughter born by Webster, and now there is only one Shang Qilang left behind, and it seems that the couple has this abacus.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Gu said with a smile.
"It's not my wife who can call the shots in this general's mansion, whether you come or not, it shouldn't be me who interferes, if you want to come, you can go and talk to Shaoyu yourself."
"But my wife wants to remind you, it's just that you and we can barely be considered a family, as for those in the Guogong Mansion, don't come to the side, my wife is old and can't stand the stimulation, if one accidentally makes this good thing a bad thing, hum, Guogong, I'm afraid the merchant can't hold back."
It's a subtle and clever one, but it sounds very threatening.
Shang Yukuan is a person who can't stand the pressure, let alone facing Old Madam Gu, even when facing his own son Shang Ji, he always compromises.
He sweated like rain in an instant, so he said with a smile.
"My mother-in-law said that she was laughing, they are all children of our merchants, how can they not be a family?"
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she stared at him carefully for a while, and stared at Grandpa Shang Yukuan, who was a little chilly on her back, before she spoke.
"Since Grandpa Guo wants to discuss it with me, then let's discuss it."
"All the children of the merchants? How did Da Lang not have it? Why did Rokuro live in the Gu family for a long time? What kind of life is Snow Lady living? And Ping'er! Don't they have the surname Shang? ”
"Grandpa Guo, if it weren't for your father's life-saving grace back then, my wife would have looked down on you like you? Marrying Yunhe into the Guogong Mansion is the only thing I have done wrong in my life, you are not worthy of being a husband or a father! ”
"If you still have three points of shame, just go back with the new lady outside the door, my wife can still turn a blind eye and tolerate two points, if you want to play the face of your Guogong Mansion into this general's mansion, then don't blame me for being polite!"
When she said these words, she was full of momentum.
Even if it is a gray-haired ancient rare year, it has not diminished the prestige of the year.
Hearing Old Madam Gu's questioning, Shang Yukuan immediately panicked and hurriedly explained as he fell to his knees.
"My mother-in-law has wronged me, this eldest man is my first child, how can I not be sad that he died of illness? But life has to go on, no, if you can't do it, I won't live for him. ”
"As for President Liulang's residence in the Gu family, it is also because he loves to dance knives and guns since he was a child, you also know that since his father is gone, the momentum of the Guogong Mansion is not as good as before, and I, as a father, can't drag the child back because I can't make it, so I sent him to the Gu family."
"And Xue Niang and Ping'er, haven't they all grown up well? Why did the mother-in-law say this, as if the son-in-law had treated them badly. ”
