Chapter 8 Appearances of Living Beings

 When he saw Shang Ji and his wife entering the door, Shang Guogong still had some moved tears in his eyes.

It's just that he didn't know how to speak to his son.

 After all, in front of him, as a father, I was not very tough, so I just suppressed my emotions and said with a somewhat excited smile.

"coming."

 Shang Ji nodded, said a simple "hmm", then clasped his fists and said something.

 “Father, Ann.”

 As for the other people, he didn't take a direct look at them.

Such a cold attitude naturally made everyone present feel unhappy, but they could only endure it.

 After all, it was not just the young prince from the Duke's Mansion who came back this time, but also the God of War, Daxing, who had gained face in front of the emperor.

The names I just signed up for were all Generals of Hussars.

 They know this better than anyone else.



Now, the step-brother Wei, Mrs. Wei, is the head of the family in the Duke's mansion.

She is only one year younger than Shang Guogong, but she looks a little younger than him, which shows that she is very well-maintained.

He is obviously over fifty years old and does not look old at all.

Wearing a dark red tapestry embroidered with Ruyi patterns, it added a bit of grace to her. Her face was gentle and kind, just like the Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple, with kind eyebrows and kind intentions.

Du Jingyi is not like her husband Shang Ji. He has the reputation of a general and can do whatever he wants.

After all, she is still a woman who makes a living in the back house. Although she and Mrs. Wei have secret conflicts, on the surface, they naturally get along.

Hence, he gave a decent smile, half-crouched down and said to Shang Guogong and his wife.

“My daughter-in-law, Du Shi Jingyi, has met her father-in-law and Mrs. Wei.”

 She has never called Mrs. Wei her mother-in-law since she entered the house.

 The reason why she was called Mrs. Wei was entirely based on what her sister-in-law Liu told her to do.

Shang Ji felt much better after hearing this.

When he looked at Mrs. Wei again, there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Mrs. Wei can be a wife as a concubine, so naturally she will not play a simple role.

 Because, even when I heard the words "Mrs. Wei", I didn't feel like I was being slapped in the face. Instead, I said it in a kind and polite manner.

 “Okay, good boy, get up quickly, the family is informal.”

 “Thank you, Mrs. Wei.”

Just two sentences, others can feel the smell of gunpowder coming and going.

 It’s just that today’s protagonist is not Du Jingyi, so Mrs. Wei’s artillery fire will not be aimed at her.

I saw her explaining in the next second.

"I thought it would take two days for Liulang to arrive in Sui'an City, so things were still going on at home. Unexpectedly, I suddenly received the imperial edict yesterday. The master and I hurried into the palace to eat the palace banquet to catch the wind and wash away the dust. When we came back It’s too late, I didn’t tell the elders and relatives.”

While speaking, he cast a somewhat apologetic look at the elders next to him.

Seeing her acting like this, the third and fifth rooms, who were still a little weak at first, straightened their backs again.

Sitting on the left side below the Duke and his wife are the third and fifth merchants who have been living with their families in the Duke's Mansion.

 One is as thin as a Taoist priest cultivating immortality, and the other is as bloated as a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

 They are all over seventy years old.

 But after many years of wealth and wealth, I don’t see the cloudy color in my old eyes.

Beside them sat their respective family members, the third old lady and the fifth old lady. Their figures were opposite to that of their husbands. The third old lady has a round figure and a full face.

 The fifth old lady is thin and has little bones, and is full of calculations.

 At first glance, he does not appear to be a charitable person.

As soon as he entered the door, Shang Ji couldn't help but look at the third old lady with the gold hairpin. She was so dazzling that it was hard not to notice her.

In addition, she was the one who made the rude remarks just now, so when Shang Ji cast his cold eyes over here, she couldn't help but shrink her neck.

 Looks fatter and stupider.

 The back that had just been straightened had softened quite a bit.

It was the third oldest old man who came out and said haha.

"The whole family cannot speak the same language. This Liulang has received such a great blessing. Naturally, he has to go to the palace to pay homage to the emperor first. We old bones are not allowed to be reused, and it will be the same today."

Although the words were polite, Du Jingyi heard that he didn't mean it that way.

It was as if she was holding a gun and a stick and said that her husband did not understand etiquette.

Obviously, he should have missed the night last night to go to Beiyuan to meet the elders, but now he still made them wait in Yunjin Courtyard for so long.

He also specially emphasized the word "old bones".

Don’t you just want to slap Shang Ji with the label of disrespecting his elders?

  It’s really full of absurdity.

Du Jingyi looked down upon these worms who were used to lying on other people's bodies to **** blood.

 But Shang Ji was standing next to her, so she looked calm and humble.

It's a pity that the third old master's idea was not in Shang Ji's eyes, and he didn't even give him a look.

"If my third uncle feels that he is not being taken seriously, please ask yourself to keep vigil for your grandfather. After all, what you talk about every day is how your grandfather regards you as the treasure in his palm. Even now that you are old, everyone should still do it." Here’s the baby you’re coaxing.”

These words are much worse than what the third old lady said just now.

 With the third old man trying to pretend to be a considerate elder, his face looked very bad at the moment.

Seeing that her husband had lost face, the third old lady was a little unhappy, and she opened her mouth to say a few words to teach the younger generation.

However, Shang Ji, who was still quarreling just now, spoke first.

He looked at Shang Guogong and said.

"The military situation was urgent that day, and my son left Beijing in a hurry. He could not complete the ceremony of tea and return home with his bride, so today he specially brought his wife to serve tea to his father as a courtesy."

He doesn’t say much, but his meaning is clear.

Although the two have not consummated their marriage yet, they have been a couple for three years.

  It’s not really a deep affection, but it’s not difficult to treat each other with respect and as guests.

 Giving face to Du Jingyi was also giving face to himself, so after saying this, he glanced at the people following him.

Du Jingyi was stunned for a moment at her husband's sudden defense, and then straightened her posture.

Maid Qingying brought a red lacquer tray from somewhere, with two cups of hot tea in it.

Mrs. Wei's face turned a little rosy when she saw this.

 Shang Ji never looked at her seriously when he was at home, but now that he has a daughter-in-law, he remembers the rules.

 She was still very concerned about having this sip of the general's wife's mother-in-law tea.

It's not that we should pay more attention to Shang Ji, the stepson, but this way, her position in the Duke's palace will become more secure.

 So the corners of his mouth were raised a lot.

 The Duke of Shang on the side obviously did not expect his son to behave like this.
