Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 13 Entering the Ancestral Hall

Immediately replied.

"Why is my son the lone star of Tiansha? Uncle Wu's speech is too ugly! No wonder Liu Lang doesn't like dealing with you, one or two may arrange him behind the scenes!"

Then he snorted coldly and let go of it.

Angrily, he left the yard and hid in the study.

The fifth old man knew that what he said was a bit serious, but the children and grandchildren in the room were watching, how could he back down.

So he poked his neck and said.

"What's the matter, isn't that what people say? If it wasn't the case, you wouldn't be going to help him marry this stubborn daughter of the Du family, right? We are the Duke's mansion! A daughter of a merchant can do it The future Mrs. Duchess, you must laugh to death!"

The woman has a long tongue.

But these five old masters are more feminine than women when they talk.

Mrs. Wei, who had suffered from Shang Ji and Du Jingyi, was happy to see Wufang vent her anger on her.

So although he kept persuading him, what he said was all embellishments.

The five old masters scolded to the end, even taking out the matter of Gu's family's death in battle and arbitrarily arranging it.

It seems that they encountered this difficulty because of Shang Ji's stubborn fate.

It provoked the whispering of the crowd below.

And here in the main courtyard there was a lot of scolding, and the servants were also standing on the porch to watch the excitement.

However, the northwest direction of the Duke's Mansion is very quiet.

Merchant Shrine.

All around was solemn.

Du Jingyi followed Shang Ji to this place, took a deep breath before entering the door.

Originally, the merchant had only established a family for a few years, so there were not many plaques on it.

Except for Shanglao Guogong and Guogong's old lady in the first row.

It is the tablets of Shang Gu's in the second row, Shang Dalang in the third row, and Shang Ji's first three wives.

They are Shang Xu's, Shang Jing's, and Shang Wang's.

In addition, there are some pieces of tablets of sons and daughter-in-laws who have lost their third and fifth families.

Incense is also offered.

This shrine.

Except that the whole family would come to worship together on New Year's Eve every year, Du Jingyi had never stepped in alone.

At first, it would feel a little gloomy, but now it is mostly a nostalgic atmosphere.

Probably because Shang Ji has a calming demeanor.

So Du Jingyi didn't feel a little scared like before.

Standing in front of Shang Gu's tablet.

Du Jingyi took the cup of tea from Yingying's hand, and knelt down facing the memorial tablet.

Shang Ji next to her also followed her.

Du Jingyi said calmly with a bit of sincerity.

"Daughter-in-law Du Shi respects mother-in-law and mother-in-law tea."

Shang Ji saw her attitude, and was quite relieved about it.

When he turned his head to look at the tablet, his expression was a little more sad.

Afterwards, Shang Ji said in a soft tone.

"Mother, if you know the truth, you can rest assured that when your son is back, no one will dare to bully me in the future."

Immediately afterwards, his eyes turned to Shang Dalang's tablet.

His tone changed from sad to hard.

"Brother, rest in peace too. With me here, my sister-in-law and nephew will definitely not be wronged again."

Du Jingyi knelt quietly on the futon, listening to her husband Shang Ji talking to her mother-in-law and elder brother's tablets.

Before she got married, both of them died of illness.

Therefore, she didn't know the specific situation.

The sinister things in the tall courtyard are no less than those in these small families.

Therefore, it is better for her to inquire less.

Shut up and listen, until the time for a stick of incense has passed.

Shang Ji said lightly.

"I'm sorry, thinking about the thoughts in my heart, I forgot that you are still kneeling."

Du Jingyi smiled and had no choice but to say.

"It's the first time for me to offer tea to my mother-in-law, so it doesn't matter if I kneel for a while."

"Ah."

Shang Ji stretched out his hand, trying to help Du Jingyi get up.

But found that the maids on her left and right sides had already stepped forward to help her in distress.

I had no choice but to withdraw my hand, and my face returned to normal.

"Let's go, go back and meet my sister-in-law. I should have introduced you three years ago."

"it is good."

After saying this, the couple went all the way to Dongyuan.

I don't know that there are few servants around the ancestral hall.

Or with the scene just now, the servants didn't dare to cause trouble in front of Shang Ji.

Therefore, there were not many servants following them who wanted to watch the excitement.

The couple were silent all the way.

He waited until he entered the gate of Xitang Courtyard and saw a familiar person.

Then Shang Ji opened his mouth and said to Steward He and Nanny Dou who were guarding in front of Dongyuan gate.

"You two have worked hard these past few years. After the matter is over, we will move to the general's mansion to live a good life."

Steward He and Nanny Dou were both left by Mrs. Gu before her death.

They have been guarding Dongyuan faithfully.

Therefore, no matter how smoky and smoky it is outside, everyone in Dongyuan can live a peaceful life.

Including the Fuqiu Courtyard where the widowed lady Liu lived and the Hanyi Courtyard where the eighth lady of the merchant Xue Niang lived, they were not affected by the autumn wind from the third room and the fifth room.

Therefore, after hearing Shang Ji's words, the two said in relief with tears in their eyes.

"Old slaves just follow the general's arrangement."

"Ah."

After saying this, the couple walked towards the Xitang Courtyard in the middle of Dongyuan.

The eldest wife Liu, nephew Shang Zhiping, and eighth miss Shang Xue have all been waiting for a long time.

I saw their couple coming.

The first to get up, and happy.

It is Miss Eight of the merchant, and Mrs. Gu's youngest daughter, Shang Xue.

Known as Xue Niang, she is only 14 years old now, and she is still in her boudoir.

She threw herself into Shang Ji's arms, crying very aggrieved.

"Brother Six! I thought you would never come back."

Seeing her like this, sister-in-law Liu couldn't help but her eyes were red, and she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

But on the face, there is a lot more sincerity and calmness.

Du Jingyi stood aside silently.

This kind of family affection is not something she can get in and talk nonsense.

On the contrary, when he and his sister-in-law Liu looked at each other, they both saw a look of inquiry in each other's eyes.

However, there are some things that are not easy to say in front of Shang Ji.

Therefore, both of them suppressed their thoughts.

Shang Ji patted his sister's back repeatedly.

Silently comforted.

Since he was a teenager, he joined his grandfather's family in the military camp.

For more than ten years, they have been fighting in the flames of war with swords, guns, swords and halberds.

There are few moments of such stability.

Therefore, for this younger sister who is much younger than him.

Even if he has love in his heart, he doesn't know what to say or how to do it.

I can only use my broad shoulders to resist all evil thoughts from outside for them.

After a while, he said in a calm tone.

"Sixth brother is back, this time I won't leave, I will protect you and get married safely."

Eighth Miss Xue Niang is now fourteen.

Although she lost her mother at a young age, her eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.
