The fourth aunt never felt that the only way out for a woman was to get married, even if there was only one way to choose, then she had to choose someone who could be with her and go hand in hand.

Rather than the "best" option based on the pros and cons, there is no initiative.

Her words made Gu Xiaolang teary-eyed.

Immediately threw herself into the arms of the fourth aunt and began to cry.

It is precisely because the elders in the family love and care for her more than anything else, so sometimes Gu Xiaolang doesn't even want to marry outside.

As soon as she cried, her third aunt also cried, and everyone in the room was full of sorrow.

When Shang Ji came over, he happened to encounter this scene.

Standing outside the house, he didn't dare to push the door in.

If he hadn't met Du Jingyi, I'm afraid that in the end, he might really marry this cousin for the sake of the Gu family.

But that was not what he wanted.

Therefore, no matter how much he couldn't bear it, he wouldn't bother at this time, turned around and left, and walked very decisively.

After returning to Xitang Courtyard, sister-in-law Liu and aunt Mrs. Xing had already left.

Therefore, only Du Jingyi leaned on the couch and wanted to rest for a while.

As soon as he saw Shang Ji walk in, seeing that his face was not good-looking, Du Jingyi was a little puzzled.

Isn't it nice to have a good meal today?

So he asked softly.

"General, what's the matter?"

Shang Ji stepped forward and sat down beside her, as if this was the only way to relax a slightly guilty heart.

"I originally wanted to go to Xu Lai Courtyard to see my grandmother, but I heard their conversation at the door, the Guo family was interested in Cousin Lang, but my grandmother and fourth aunt were very opposed."

"Against?"

Although Du Jingyi could also see some of Old Madam Gu's thoughts, such a direct opposition still surprised her.

"Well, they don't want Cousin Lang to marry for the sake of family affairs, for fear that they will have a bad life in the future, and they will not have a chance to leave."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi also understood their worries.

But from her point of view, she doesn't agree much.

There has never been a relationship in this world that can not be relied on, even if Shang Ji is so strong, it is because of the Gu family that he is now.

The same goes for the marriage with the Guo family.

Instead of worrying about your future life, it's better to lay this foundation firmly from the beginning.

Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, the Guo family, the Gu family, and the forces represented by Shang Ji have long been the prince's party, so whether they marry or not will not affect the opinions of outsiders.

Maybe there is also a problem that the Gu family knows Gu Xiaolang's mind, so they don't want to persecute it.

But in Du Jingyi's opinion, this family affair is indeed good.

Since the people of the Gu family have many concerns and are reluctant to ask for it, then Xue Niang can take a look.

One is that you don't have to marry far away, and the other is that you are loved by many people.

It's just that everything on the outside of the Guo family's Shiro is very suitable, so the only thing to be examined is the problem of character.

At this point, she, a backhouse woman, is really beyond her strength.

Therefore, I told Shang Ji about today's sister-in-law's intentions.

After listening, Shang Ji was also silent.

A housewarming banquet in the General's Mansion made this Shiro of the Guo family a sweetheart.

Shang Ji and Du Jingyi didn't expect this.

But now that the problem has been laid out, the couple has to solve it.

Therefore, Shang Ji thought about it and said.

"Since my grandmother has no intention of the Guo family in her heart, then forget about this matter, I will see the prince another day, and then talk about Xue Niang, one is my cousin, the other is my own sister, no matter which one it is, it is estimated that His Royal Highness the Prince will be happy to see it."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi also agreed very much.

It's just that the couple thinks well, but the things in this world are a little tortuous and unexpected.

After the housewarming feast, he rested for two days.

The general's mansion moved the crowd and went to Zhuangzi in Wuling.

Naturally, Mrs. Gu was unwell and wanted to recuperate and adjust for a few days.

And everyone knows that there are many hot spring pools in Wuling, so they don't feel strange, except that the Guogong Mansion has been scolded again.

The carriages and horses of the General's Mansion set off one after another, and Shang Ji's personal guards followed behind, so they occupied a small half of the street.

It's just that they are all warm and polite people, and they didn't cause much fluctuation.

It's the Guogong Mansion that hasn't done anything these days, as if it is being targeted, constantly being turned over and splashed with "dirty" water.

Yunjin Temple.

Princess Fu looked angry, and Mrs. Wei and Shang Shilang, who were sitting next to her, were not happy.

Shiro's daughter-in-law didn't show up because she had to take care of Shang Zhihe.

As for the grandfather of the country, Shang Yukuan, he threw his sleeves and didn't ask anything.

Therefore, at this moment, only the first daughter and two sons from Mrs. Wei were present, and naturally included the reluctant Shang Qilang.

"The words outside are so ugly, I wish we were all black-hearted, and your father didn't care, I really couldn't help it, so I called your sister and brother to come and give an idea."

Since Old Madam Gu fainted again and again because of the Wei family, the people who had more dealings with them had become polite.

The New Year is about to close, and sending some New Year's gifts is just looking for the old rules, and it is not at all as serious and careful as before.

Mrs. Wei felt that the circle of ladies in Ancheng was alienating her, intentionally or unintentionally.

This is not a good thing, especially since Shichiro's scientific expedition is imminent, and it is time to make contacts.

Last time, I was blocked at the door by Shang Ji and didn't go in.

And now, he has hit a wall at the poetry meeting one after another, which makes Shang Qilang feel very sad.

And Princess Fu's situation is not much better.

Originally, she was attached to King Fu's Mansion and Princess Yuehua in order to be looked up to in front of everyone, but now because of Mrs. Gu's attitude, many people have discord with her, she has always been a ruthless person, but she can't bear it.

So, he spoke.

"Mother, it's better to let my grandfather's family find a day to hold a banquet, in our own territory, it is naturally okay to save some face."

"I haven't thought about it, but now that the New Year is only a few days away, how can the banquet be done, and how can it be done after the Lantern Festival."

Mrs. Wei was also anxious, but she had to endure the left and right with this fist, and she was also holding her breath.

"And I also asked my father and brother carefully, they mean that they want to use Jialian's ceremony to hold a big event, can't the Gu family invite people from the royal family? The Wei family is the same, the same post will not be sent to the General's Mansion, since they want to tear their faces apart, then we don't have to be polite. ”

Xiaoxiang tickets are over 1500, and tomorrow they will be sent to ~~~

A new January, a new beginning, I wish everyone can be full of vitality~~
