Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 194 Changing Gu's Surname

Is it possible that this is the old saying, the enemy's road is narrow?
"The servant girl doesn't want to get angry with him, because she is afraid that the bloody smell will stain the bird's nest cup."

Du Jingyi picked it up and smelled it, then said with a smile.

"Thinking too much, it's nothing, if you don't believe me, you can hear it?"

He took the cherry and sniffed it twice. It really had no smell. Then he put down his mind and said to Du Jingyi.

"In a cold day, several people are shirtless and covered in blood. It's really scary."

"Okay, when the general comes back, I'll tell him to let Vice General Luo pay attention next time, okay?"

Cherry didn't say anything, she just felt that she was a bit like her former self now.

Why do you have to worry about everything, so I took two deep breaths and suppressed this irritability.

Then he spoke.

"Young lady, just drink from the bird's nest cup. I have no more words to say."

Seeing this, Du Jingyi picked up the bird's nest and ate slowly.

When they were almost done eating, they saw Shang Ji walking in.

As soon as he came back, he went to Mrs. Gu's place, mainly to see if she was still used to the old man, so he didn't come to see Du Jingyi immediately.

I also thought that she might still be talking to her family, so I didn't rush here.

"The general is back."

After seeing Du Jingyi, he said with a gentle expression.

"I thought you would stay with sister and talk more today."

"My concubine wants to stay, but brother Yun needs to sleep, and elder sister also needs to rest more, so I have to come back."

"Are you feeling well?"

"Okay."

"It's true, you are more happy every time you see your family."

"Isn't it the same when the general sees the Gu family coming?"

The couple spoke simple words, but they were very comfortable in their hearts. It was really not easy to live like this, so they both cherished it.

After Yingtao served Shang Ji tea, she withdrew.

When there were only two people in the room, Shang Ji suddenly mentioned about Shang Zhiping.

"This kid Ping'er is still a little too weak. He's just a wild deer and he can't even touch it. What if it's a human in the future?"

"Don't worry, general. You eat food one bite at a time. This man also learned it day by day. It's a good thing for Ping'er to be kind-hearted, but we have to teach him how to preserve his kindness while also protecting himself and those around him. People are.”

"What you said is, teach slowly."

Du Jingyi stretched out his hand and patted the back of Shang Ji's hand, which was very comforting.

And Shang Ji took advantage of the opportunity to hold that tender little hand, looked at Du Jingyi with a more solemn and serious expression, and then spoke.

"There is something in my heart that has been suppressed for many years. I didn't have the chance earlier, and now I don't know how to talk about it. But I think since you are my wife, I should discuss it with you first."

Although the words were directed at Du Jingyi, his eyes never left her stomach.

Du Jingyi is not stupid either, and Empress Guo once told her secretly, so she already knew it.

So, after sinking his mind, he asked softly.

"The general wants this child to be named Gu?"

Shang Ji looked at Du Jingyi in shock, as if he didn't know.

Looking at his expression, Du Jingyi knew that he guessed right.

The Gu family is already the last struggle before defeat. If there is no one to inherit, then the mantle of Marshal Gu and the glory of the Gu family will all be wiped out.

After this generation or two pass away, there will be no such thing as a family in the world.

Therefore, Du Jingyi understood her husband's thoughts, but she only guessed one of them correctly, not the second.

Shang Ji let out a breath, and said solemnly.

"It's not just a child, I would like to play to His Majesty, change my surname to Gu's family, and become Gu's family from now on."

Hearing this, the shock on Du Jingyi's face was no less than the one shown by Shang Ji just now.

She still finds it difficult to change the child's surname in her stomach, but now she wants to change his own directly, I'm afraid there will be more obstacles.

The one who bears the brunt is the Duke of the State, Shang Yukuan, who will definitely not agree.

Secondly, there is no precedent for a grandson to enter the heir mother's family in this Daxing Dynasty, and I am afraid that there will be no legal support.

The most important thing is that if he joins the Gu family, then everything in Jinling City that once belonged to the Gu family will fall on him.

Du Jingyi believed that there were always some troublesome relatives in the Gu family, who would definitely cause trouble.

Therefore, this road looks like a road of thorns, I am afraid it will not be easy to walk.

But Du Jingyi couldn't say no to her husband's sincere expression.

After a long silence, Du Jingyi asked sincerely.

"General, is this something you personally think about, or are grandma and the others already aware of it?"

Shang Ji shook his head, and then explained.

"Grandma and the others don't know about it. It's just my personal opinion. I also know that it would be more legitimate for Cousin Lang to recruit a son-in-law, but the Gu family left behind like that will not be the Gu family it used to be."

After recruiting a son-in-law, the child will naturally have the surname Gu.

Speaking of which, there is also a chance to inherit the mantle of Marshal Gu.

But whatever it is, it has to be more than 20 years later, and regardless of whether Mrs. Gu can live to that time, she may or may not be able to support the Gu family.

Others, such as his four aunts, are not as good as Mrs. Gu in terms of courage, wisdom, and ability to manage the family home.

Therefore, Shang Ji was afraid that the Gu family would disappear before the child grew up.

This is the last thing he wants to see.

But if he goes to join the Gu family now, with his current status and ability, it's only a matter of time before the Gu family returns to its former glory.

Moreover, he and Du Jingyi are also loving couples, and there will be no fewer children.

In less than ten years, the excitement of the Gu family will be back again.

These words don't need to be opened by Shang Ji, Du Jingyi will understand them after thinking about them.

So, he said with a chuckle.

"Since the general has already made up his mind, let's do it. It doesn't matter whether your surname is Shang or Gu, the concubine married you."

After hearing this, Shang Ji stood up and hugged her. Feeling the warmth of his wife, he felt a little more at ease in his heart.

He didn't intend to inherit the Duke's Mansion, so if he changed his surname to Gu, he would naturally be able to return his status as a young Duke.

But what makes him embarrassed now is that Ping'er's growth rate is too slow.

And he was eager to achieve the matter of becoming an heir and taking care of the family, so the two things came together, one urgent and the other slow, and there was always something wrong.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Du Jingyi understood his difficulty and said comfortingly.

"If the general wants to do this, I think I can go to the palace to discuss with the empress. When the empress knew that I was pregnant, she hinted that this child is the hope of the Gu family in the future, so I can be with you. You guessed it before you spoke."
