Step-room, she is soft and charming

"Mother, are you okay?"

When Mrs. Guo asked this question, her expression was full of worry, but Queen Guo put on a smile and remained as calm and graceful as ever when she looked at Mrs. Guo.

"Don't worry, mother. My daughter is fine. She just feels that she has taken advantage of his love for so many years and it's time to return it. She has no worries and just hopes that she can renew her relationship in the next life."

Queen Guo's words left the two elders unable to say any other words of comfort.

In the main hall, there is luxury but also indifference, just like the queen's situation and thoughts in her heart over the years, but in the small garden, she is more delicate at the moment.

Among the young people who came today, the unmarried ones were the two young ladies of the Li family, Li Yuanmei and Li Yuanjiao. Standing together, the difference in temperament could be seen at a glance.

The one wearing an aqua spring dress has a calm temperament, while the one wearing a peach-pink butterfly flower dress has a delicate temperament. Madame Li, the assistant minister's wife, looked at these two nieces with eyes full of joy.

Then he whispered a few words to his mother-in-law's sister-in-law, and took them both to Du Jingyi's side.

Worry is worry, but that is something that can be discussed after the fact. Now when Du Jingyi saw the Li family coming over, he had to think hard and greet them with a smile, otherwise it would not be good for them to feel neglected.

Ping'er was standing behind Du Jingyi at the moment. As for the sister-in-law, Liu, she was afraid that she would delay her son's future, so she hid to talk to Xue Niang at the moment, but her eyes kept looking this way secretly.

Du Jingyi's "Mrs. Madam" didn't even open her mouth when she heard Mrs. Li open her mouth and shout at her.

"Sister Du, how about you come and see my nieces?"

The words "Sister Du" have brought the two of them a lot closer. When they were on the boat tomorrow, they still called Mrs. Gu politely, but today they changed their words. For this reason, Du Jingyi couldn't help but say with emotion. .

"Sister Li's niece is naturally good. I just noticed her in the main hall."

"Shang Zhiping has met the Vice Minister's wife and the two young ladies."

Everyone on both sides knew what was going on today. It was normal for a family like theirs to see each other in advance, so the three of them behaved calmly and generously without any qualms.

On the way north from Jinling City, the Vice Minister's wife also secretly observed Ping'er and felt that he was not bad. Although he was not particularly outstanding in his abilities, she could not resist the fact that he had a good uncle and a title that he could inherit immediately.

So she was happy to see this marriage come to fruition.

After looking at each other with Du Jingyi, both of them showed expressions of wanting to achieve good things, and Du Jingyi took off two mutton-fat white jade bracelets of the same color from his wrists, both of which were fine items, and then handed them over. Go over and say with a smile.

"This is the first time we meet, so I didn't prepare any good gifts. You two can just take them and enjoy them. Don't dislike it."

When the two sisters of the Li family saw the jade bracelet, although they didn't show much surprise, they felt that the general's wife was extraordinary. They thought that she had taken over the general's mansion and the Jinling Gu family, which was a great deal for themselves. Less of a good thing.

Then the two sisters glanced at the Vice Minister's wife and saw her nodding slightly. Then they boldly accepted the offer, stepped forward and bowed before saying.

"Yuanmei, Yuanjiao thanks Mrs. Gu."

Du Jingyi nodded with satisfaction and didn't say anything else. She already knew almost everything about the two Li sisters, so there was nothing to ask around. She just had to see if any of them were related to Ping today. My son has such eyesight, so he pointed to a peach blossom on the side of the garden and said.

"I think the flower branches at the other end are pretty good. Sister Li, why don't we go over and take a look?" Madam Shilang quickly understood what she meant and left the two sisters here. However, Ping'er, who was standing behind Du Jingyi, did not He flinched and started a simple conversation with the two of them.

They were both men and women of the right age in their teens, so the conversation was quite congenial.

Sister-in-law Liu glanced at this scene and whispered with deep feelings.

"I won't argue with anything else. I just hope that Ping'er can be accompanied by a wife who knows both coldness and warmth. He has endured a lot of hardships with me in the past few years, so the days ahead must be sweet."

Xue Niang patted her arm gently, then held her arm and spoke intimately.

"I will definitely do it. Just look at our Ping'er's handsome appearance and decent behavior. You will know that he will not be bad in the future."

Shang Zhi's life was very similar to the deceased Shang Dalang, so his appearance was naturally the same. Now he has lost his former timidity and has relaxed a lot. He has followed Xing Zhao in Jinling City for several years. Not to mention, treating others is not a problem.

Therefore, after a while, both Li sisters pinched their handkerchiefs and laughed out loud.

Seeing this, the Vice Minister's wife and Du Jingyi, who were secretly observing from a distance, also felt their hearts drop.

"I don't know whether Sister Du cares more about me, the eldest niece, or the second niece?"

Mrs. Li, the assistant minister's wife, was straightforward and did not hide anything, so Du Jingyi did not hesitate, calmed down and said.

"Ping'er suffered hardships in the early years, so I thought that if I could have a lively wife to accompany me, I would be able to think more cheerfully even when encountering difficulties in the future. So if I come to see it, I will think that the second young lady of the Li family is more beautiful. More appropriate."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li chuckled.

"I thought you would prefer Yuan Mei. After all, with her calm temperament, she is more suitable to be the matron of a family."

Du Jingyi disagreed with this.

"As an aunt, I sincerely hope that Ping'er will be well. I'm not saying that the eldest lady of the Li family is not good, but I think the second young lady of the Li family is more suitable. But what I said doesn't count. The most important thing is to see Ping'er and the two of you. How are you getting along with the lady? Things are fickle, who can say for sure?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Li, the assistant minister's wife, nodded in agreement.

"It's really rare for you to be so sincere to your nephew."

Regardless of other things, we can get a glimpse of what happened when Gu Shaoyu moved out of the Duke's Mansion to the General's Mansion, not only established his own business, but also took away his widowed nephew and sister-in-law.

Therefore, the Vice Minister's wife is also sincere about this family relationship.

However, compared to Du Jingyi's sincerity, the Li family has more to consider. For example, they will feel that the eldest niece Yuan Mei is more suitable. After all, where is her temperament? Family relationship is it.

But at the moment, she also knows that a suitable match is "impossible" with Du Jingyi. She cares more about who is "more compatible" with Shang Zhiping, so she doesn't talk nonsense anymore and gets distracted by other things. past.
