"How did such a good girl become a cousin? If I had come to Jinling City a few years in advance, would I have ......?"

"Don't dream, your cousin doesn't look down on you."

"Why?"

Shang Ji shot Xing Zhao up and down with disdainful eyes, and he was a little inexplicable when he saw it, so he spoke.

"Because only General Ben is her destined husband, it is useless for others to come early or late."

That self-confidence really caught up with the way he looked when he threatened to repel the Dajin enemy army.

Seeing this, Xing Zhao was quite a little crying and laughing.

"Okay, okay, I'll take Lang'er back to Jinling City in two days, it's really the same end of the world~~~"

With his unserious temperament, he really can't afford to lose at all, so he has to talk about it.

When everyone gathered in the flower hall, sister-in-law Liu and Xue Niang had already arrived in advance, and they were all smiling happily.

Because after lunch, it is the auspicious time for the Guo family to get engaged.

And the two of them didn't know what had just happened in Xu Lai Courtyard, so the happiness at the moment was not mixed with other attitudes.

"The granddaughter-in-law (granddaughter) has met her grandmother, the third aunt, and the fourth aunt."

"Get up, what are you doing as a family?"

Sister-in-law Liu saw Du Jingyi supporting Mrs. Gu at a glance, and the two of them had an inexplicable sense of intimacy that they had never seen before, and she was still a little curious in her heart, so she saw someone outside raise her voice and said.

"Miss Cousin has arrived."

Not long after, Gu Xiaolang also walked in.

She didn't look very emotional, but there was still a decent smile on the corner of her mouth.

The third aunt couldn't hold back, and when she walked over, she held her hand tightly, as if she wanted to pass on her strength to her daughter, and Gu Xiaolang also felt the care from her mother, so she blamed herself even more in her heart.

Seeing that his emotions were about to collapse, he saw the fourth aunt coming over.

It seems that he wants to talk to his sister-in-law Liu, but in fact, he is covering up for Gu Xiaolang.

After all, it is better for fewer people to know about this kind of thing, and Gu Xiaolang still wants to be a face-saving person.

Xue Niang didn't have so many twists and turns in her heart, so she stepped forward and grabbed Old Madam Gu's arm and said.

"My granddaughter asked the kitchen today, and she said that she made her grandmother's favorite cabbage and anchovy shrimp, and she must use more later."

"Okay, when you're full, you have the strength to deal with the engagement for Xiaoba, right?"

Xue Niang is her daughter's family in the end, so her face is a little thin, and when she is teased casually, she blushes, and everyone turns their attention to her, so she pays a lot less attention to Gu Xiaolang.

It made her breathe a sigh of relief, and the sister-in-law Liu who sat next to Xue Niang looked happy and embarrassed.

It was as if a picture scroll had unfolded in front of her, and the process of raising Xue Niang to grow up was released one by one.

Although she is not a mother, her sister-in-law has taken care of her for so many years, and she is naturally a little more moved than others.

And Xue Niang also knows about this, so when she gives her eyes to her sister-in-law, she is grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Soon after the dishes, Shang Zhiping also came, and the family sat down in the flower hall, and they chatted and ate lunch.

It took less than half an hour, and it was almost over, so everyone went to the front hall to drink tea and wait for the Guo family to come.

Another half an hour passed, and Xue Niang's heart was up and down, although she was sitting in the hall, her thoughts were long gone.

However, Mrs. Gu is as steady as Mount Tai and is not in a hurry at all.

Seeing Du Jingyi's admiration, he told himself to learn more.

Before the idea landed, I saw that Steward He had already walked in with a smile and said happily.

"Old lady, the people of the Guo family have arrived at the gate."

"Which ones are coming?"

"Prime Minister Guo, Mrs. Guo, Third Master Guo, Third Mrs. Guo, and Guo Jiashilang are all here, and they have brought a lot of engagement gifts, and they are waiting at the door now."

"Why didn't you invite them in?"

"The slave said it, but the prime minister said that the woman's family didn't let go, and they didn't dare to move."

Hearing this, Old Madam Gu couldn't help but laugh.

"This old slippery head, he still likes to joke as much as before, let's go, my wife will pick it up in person."

The Guo family is like this, that is to give Xue Niang enough face.

Let the world know that their Guo family sincerely wants to marry Shang Xueniang, which is why they have such fanfare.

And Mrs. Gu is like this, she also wants to go back to the Guo family to save face.

You come and go, and it will be an in-law relationship in the future, so you should help each other with a long face.

The gate of the General's Mansion was lively only yesterday, and there are many people around today.

The Guo family wants to engage with the merchants, and this matter is not a secret in the Gaomen compound, but the people have heard about it for the first time, so they are all standing around and looking curiously.

"This Shiro of the Guo family is a capable person, he is young, and his family background is good, I thought he was afraid that he would marry a princess or something, but I didn't expect it to be a marriage with a merchant."

"Who is it that married? Do merchants still have unmarried girls? ”

"Yes, the original Mrs. Gu was born, the young lady of Xingba, but I don't know how people are, I heard that some are frail and sick, so they are all raised in the yard, and they don't like to come out to meet people."

"Ah, isn't that a pity? A good son-in-law marries a sick man. ”

"Who said it wasn't, yes."

The gossip rumors among the people have not stopped for a moment, and these words have all fallen on Guo Jiashiro's ears, so the smile on his face at the moment has faded a lot.

But after thinking about it, fortunately she didn't stand out much in the past, otherwise I was afraid that the family affair between the two of them wouldn't be so fast, so I was relieved.

He smiled brighter than before, and he just wanted the world to know.

He, Guo Jiashiro, sincerely asked to marry Miss Eight, not for his status or fame, but simply wanted to choose a favorite lady to spend the rest of his life with.

Therefore, when Old Madam Gu appeared, his eyes also looked at Shang Xue Niang who was supporting her.

This is about the first time that Xue Niang has shown her face in front of the people, although she is nervous, but the rules taught by her grandmother are not forgotten for a moment.

"This is what you call sick seedlings? Fart, I see it's a fairy daughter. ”

"That is, look at the complexion, the charm, and the body shape of other people, can the sick seedlings be so good?"

"Hey, didn't I hear that too? Watch the play, watch the play, stop talking. ”

People have two skins, but sometimes the best way to break the rumors is to face it, Shang Xueniang was not known before, but in the future, her reputation will spread.
