MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 162 Gu family spirit

Chapter 162 Gu Family Soul

As soon as she opened her mouth, Nanny Qin next to her became a little moved, remembering a lot of past events.

 The face that already had some lines became more and more wrinkled.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of Shang Ji and others. He put down the hand that was protecting Du Jingyi and bowed respectfully to the carriage.

 “Shao Yu has been waiting for his grandmother for a long time.”

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone else followed suit, bowing and speaking.

 “I’ve met my eldest aunt.”

 “I met my grandmother.”

ˆ There was both longing for something he hadn’t seen for a long time and excitement about long-awaited expression in his tone.

As the leader of the carriage and horse drove forward, the driver jumped out and opened the door.

Mother Qin and Gu Xiaolang opened the curtains from left to right, and then they saw an old man who was graceful, rich, and exuding peace and calmness.

Just sitting quietly among the carriages and horses, yet he has the courage that no one else can do.

Because she was wearing a heavy cloak, she looked a little bloated, but if you look carefully, Mrs. Gu is actually not very fat.

 This is the first time Du Jingyi has met Mrs. Gu. In the past, she thought she might be kind or serious.

 But I didn’t expect that he would be so magnanimous.

But after thinking about it, how could the person who could maintain the glory of the Gu family and still have prestige in Jinling City so many years after the Gu family died in battle could be an ordinary person?

Hence, he suppressed his suspicions and said nothing more.

 “Get up, just wait at the house in the snowy weather, why bother to go all this way?”

Although the words sounded a bit reproachful, there was a rare sense of relief in his tone.

Shang Ji took a step forward and spoke.

"What did grandma say? Shao Yu is already full of shame for not being able to pick you up when you go north. Now it's natural to welcome you here."

 After he said these words, Mrs. Gu's already tired body relaxed a lot, and the corners of her mouth had not dropped since she met Shang Ji.

 Looking at this grandson who looked like her husband for about 40 years, Mrs. Gu also sighed and missed her very much.

Nanny Qin next to her might not have seen Shang Ji for a long time, so she smiled and said hello.

 “The old slave has met the young general.”

This is Nanny Qin who Shang Ji wrote to invite to Sui'an City to teach Du Jingyi, so when he saw her, Shang Ji also raised the corner of his mouth and replied.

 “Thank you for your hard work, grandma.”

On the other hand, Gu Xiaolang, who was on one side, made a joke as if there was no one around.

“Cousin Shaoyu, did you only see your grandmother and Nanny Qin? Didn’t you see me?”

 “Little girl, you have grown up a lot.”

Hearing her words, Gu Xiaolang's face showed a rare shyness, but it only lasted for a moment, and was quickly replaced by joy.

“I’m almost seventeen now, so naturally I’m a big girl. Cousin Shaoyu doesn’t think I’ll never grow up.”

Shang Ji stroked her hair lovingly, just like before.

He also hopes that this cousin Lang will never grow up. In this case, he can still live comfortably in the Gu family, and those who love and care about him will not leave.

I felt a little regretful in my heart, but my tone was still as close as ever.

“It’s cold, let’s go back to the General’s Mansion first. Are there two aunts behind us? I’ll go pay my respects first.”

“Go, go, mother and fourth aunt also want to see cousin Shaoyu.”

After Gu Xiaolang said this, he saw Shang Ji walking back, taking three or two steps, and then turned back as if he remembered something. Then he walked up to Du Jingyi and said.

"I was so happy that I forgot about it. Grandma and the others haven't seen you yet. Come on, follow me."

 In this way, Shang Ji's actions fell into the eyes of everyone.

Mrs.

 But people like the Gu family had never seen Shang Ji behave like this, so everyone was a little surprised.

Mrs. Gu is well-informed and relatively calm.

On the other hand, Gu Xiaolang's mood swings were a little bigger, and his eyes looking at Du Jingyi were a little unclear.

Du Jingyi also quickly noticed the look from Gu Xiaolang, although she didn't know much about the only child of the Gu family.

 But at that moment, the woman's intuition told her that it was not simple.

Thinking about it, the two of them had just met, so how could there be any discord?

 So, she secretly made a promise to her cousin?

 Because of this, you are somewhat hostile to yourself?

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Shang Ji pulling her to the front of Mrs. Gu's carriage, and then introduced her with a smile.

“Grandma, this is my grandson’s wife, Du Shi Jingyi.”

Du Jingyi was well behaved, and after saluting respectfully, he said.

“My granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Du, has met her grandmother, cousin Lang and Aunt Qin.”

Although she came from a merchant family, Queen Guo recognized her rules, which made Grandma Qin look at her with admiration.

 When she received the letter, she thought that the young lady didn't understand any rules, so the young general asked her to teach her.

Looking at it now, there seems to be nothing irregular about it.

 So he turned back to look at Mrs. Gu, and saw her slightly raising her hand and saying kindly.

"You are still pregnant with the child, so there is no need to be so formal. Let's talk about it when we get back."

 “Thank you grandma for your consideration.”

Hearing the news that Du Jingyi was pregnant, Gu Xiaolang's eyes flashed with disappointment.

Shang Ji was so busy rejoicing at the reunion that he naturally did not pay attention to the thoughts of these girls, so the only one he saw was Du Jingyi.

In a matter of seconds, the suspicion in her heart changed from sixty-seven to eighty-nine.

But it’s not surprising when she thinks about it. With such a good man hanging around her eyes every day, she may not be able to like others.

If I hadn't married into the Duke's mansion earlier, I'm afraid that the Shang and Gu families would have got married again.

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi felt a little jealous for some reason.

However, she has a general understanding and would not show it in such an occasion.

 Then they followed Shang Ji to greet their third aunt and fourth aunt, and then they returned to their original carriage and horse.

 After everyone was ready, Shang Ji gave the order and everyone slowly returned to the city.

 Sui'an City is now a lot more prosperous.

 Compared with Jinling City in the past, it seemed like a nouveau riche who had been poor for a long time but suddenly got rich, without any foundation.

 But now, after decades of imperial power, it has become a lot more noble.

From a distance, the majestic Imperial City looks like a yellow dragon overlooking the entire Sui'an City, and there are all kinds of neighborhoods and shops everywhere within the city walls.

The signboard flags were fluttering in the wind, the shop waiters stood at the door and shouted enthusiastically, and the people were all filled with a sense of joy and prosperity.
