Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 177 Housewarming Banquet

Mrs. Xing couldn't help but click tut at Du Jingyi's words.

"If I hadn't been going back after the New Year, I would have really wanted to take away two sets of your maid's skills. I don't know where you got your skills from. A good cook can collect them, and a good embroiderer can collect them. You can't leave without leaving." You have everything."

Feeling envious, Du Jingyi couldn't help but chuckle.

"My aunt likes it, what's so difficult about it? Every season, I ask Lu Ju to prepare a few sets and send them to the Xing Mansion."

"Farewell, if I were in Sui'an City, I wouldn't shirk this kindness, but if you have to send you all the way to Jinling City, it would be too much to mobilize the troops."

When the third aunt heard the words, it was rare for her to say a word.

"Yeah, it's better to be less troublesome, so as not to be watched by others."

Du Jingyi didn't understand the other people she was talking about.

But Shang Ji's face darkened when he heard it, and he was not as happy as before.

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Du Jingyi would like to ask a few questions.

It seems that life in Jinling City is not as satisfactory as she imagined.

However, Mrs. Xing saw that everyone looked unhappy about this matter, so she stood up and interrupted.

"I see that it's almost time. Let's go to the front hall and wait. I think it's time for someone to come outside."

After she reminded her, Du Jingyi and the others looked at the sky outside.

Sure enough, it's over.

"Let's go, grandma, I'll help you."

Shang Ji stepped forward and said to Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu also smiled and asked him to take over.

"Okay, help me."

Then Mrs. Gu took a special look at Du Jingyi. Although Du Jingyi was a little surprised, she quickly stepped forward to support the other side.

When she entered the General's Mansion for the first time, Mrs. Gu was surrounded by Shang Ji and Gu Xiaolang.

Today, she behaved properly and gave up her seat to the back, so it was Du Jingyi and Shang Ji who helped Mrs. Gu to the front hall.

The third aunt felt sad when she saw this, but she still went forward and patted the back of her daughter's hand, showing a caring smile.

There are some words that you don’t need to say, but Gu Xiaolang already knows them in his heart.

It's best for her to figure it out by herself, otherwise it's useless to say more.

Walking along the corridor, when we reached the front hall, there was no visitor to the general's mansion, but the sister-in-law and others were already waiting here.

It is also exquisitely dressed, and it is not inferior to Mrs. Xing and the others in the slightest.

"I met my grandmother, I met my aunt, I met my aunt."

"You guys came early."

Mrs. Gu replied with a smile, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, spoke.

"It's just a moment too early."

Just as he was talking, Steward He entered the door with a smile on his face, and greeted everyone.

"The old servant has met the old lady, the general, and the young lady."

Then he saluted Mrs. Xing and others before speaking.

"Young lady's natal family has already arrived, and even the two elders of the He family have followed."

The Du family came early, and they were the first ones to arrive.

"Please hurry up, please, the in-laws will naturally not be neglected."

As soon as Mrs. Gu spoke, Butler He hurriedly responded. Shang Ji took a step forward and said.

"I'll go to greet you, the time is almost here, and I think there are other guests coming too."

"Okay, let's go."

Now that Mrs. Gu is in charge, this general's mansion is not a new family.

Even when the prince came, Mrs. Gu could still accept half a courtesy from him.

When Shang Ji took Xing Zhao and Shang Zhiping to the door, everyone from the Du family and the He family arrived.

Of course Du Jingxiang was still confinement at home, but except for her and Brother Yun, everyone else came.

Shang Ji stepped forward and said.

"My son-in-law has met his father-in-law, his mother-in-law, his uncle He, his aunt He, and his brother-in-law."

In the Du family, they could accept this gift.

After all, it was a family feast.

But now, in the General's Mansion, common people like them without rank or rank should not be expected to salute like Shang Ji.

So those who knew the rules quickly returned one.

Master Du also said loudly.

"Let the general worry."

Fearing embarrassment for the few people, Shang Ji specially asked Xing Zhao to accompany him. With him, no matter who the visitor was, they would be able to recognize it clearly, so that they wouldn't be unaware of bumping into a nobleman.

Regarding this, the Du family was very grateful to Shang Ji for his hard work.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law go and sit inside first, grandma has been waiting for you for a long time, and can't wait to talk."

"That's a good relationship. Let's go see the old lady right now."

The elders of the He family didn't dare to talk too much on such occasions, so they laughed and nodded, a little cautiously.

Shang Ji saw it, then glanced at He Shilin and said.

"If brother-in-law is fine, you can accompany me here to welcome guests. The people who come here are all from the imperial court. Maybe there will be time to deal with them in the future."

When He Shilin heard this, his eyes were full of astonishment.

The second elder of the He family couldn't even speak.

Naturally, they would not feel that Shang Ji gave him the big face because of his son's excellence, but they knew clearly that it was because his son was the uncle of the Du family.

That's why Shang Jigao took a look.

The Du family has no sons, only two daughters who support each other, so the aunts and uncles have a good relationship, which is a good thing.

The Du family and his wife took a look at Shang Ji and were also very grateful.

"Is this out of courtesy?"

Mr. Du asked with some uncertainty.

On the contrary, Shang Ji smiled and said.

"The general's mansion is the host. What's wrong with me asking my brother-in-law to accompany the guests? Father-in-law, don't worry, it's fine."

After hearing what he said, the Du family and the He family couldn't resist.

He Shilin also knew that this was his brother-in-law paving the way for him, so he said gratefully.

"Then I'll be more respectful than obedient."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the side of Shang Zhiping, and stood behind Shang Ji.

There is no flattery in the eyes, nor guilty conscience, it can be seen that he is a confident person.

Seeing this, the smile in Shang Ji's eyes grew two or three points more.

Xing Zhao, who was on the side, brought a few people into the mansion and went to see Mrs. Gu and the others first.

At the housewarming party, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi posted a lot of posts.

Those who can come will not be ordinary people, so they are not only on time, but also a little early.

The three of them sent Du Jiahe's family away for a while, and then people came one after another.

Although Shang Ji had only returned to Ancheng for a few months, he had gone to court and met everyone in the past few days. He knew no one who should be acquainted with him, and even those who should be familiar with the road were greeted as soon as he got off the carriage.

After Shang Zhiping experienced the last time he met people in the Duke's mansion, he was not so nervous this time.

Every time someone came, he would silently think about who this person was?

Then listen to how my sixth uncle went up to say hello.
