MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 222 Xie Daoyun
Chapter 222 Xie Daoyun
Minister Yan admired Shang Ji. Although he was a little older, he really wanted to make friends with Shang Ji, so they sat down and started chatting.
Mrs. Wei Yuanbo always found a way to bring the topic to Gu Xiaolang. Sometimes she would ask about her preferences, and sometimes she would be concerned about her habits in Sui'an City.
Such enthusiasm can be noticed even by others, let alone Gu Xiaolang, who is in authority, who is on pins and needles.
The two young masters of Earl Weiyuan's Mansion have seen many beautiful women in Sui'an City, but they are really rare like Gu Xiaolang.
There is no arrogance in her beauty, but more of an approachable temperament. Although she deliberately avoids it, it can be seen from her words that she is a person with a lot of rules.
Beautiful, bright, lively, delicate.
Sanlang Yanjia had never seen anything before, but he fell in love with Gu Xiaolang at first sight and wanted to get closer.
After Naihe said a few words, Gu Xiaolang reluctantly replied with one sentence, which was not painful or painful. Seeing that the wife of the minister next to her, Mrs. Li, was a little anxious, she opened her mouth to help.
"I heard that Miss Gu will go north for a while this time. After the snow melts, there will be plenty of places to play on the outskirts of Sui'an City. When the time comes, our Earl's Mansion will be the host, and we will ask Miss Gu to enjoy it."
After speaking, he also said to Shang Ji and Du Jingyi.
“The post will be sent to the General’s Mansion, so let’s all join in the fun together.”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaolang showed resistance with his body, and his words became a little colder.
"Grandma is not in good health, and there are many elders in the family. As a junior, I naturally have to be there every day to show my respect. Madam Xiao Lang understands Madam's kindness, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go when the time comes."
They were supposed to be words of rejection, but in the eyes of everyone in Earl Weiyuan's Mansion, they had other meanings, so they became more and more interested in Gu Xiaolang.
With her status, talents and education are what they want, so they have to make this marriage happen no matter what.
So being surrounded by so many people, Gu Xiaolang didn't even have a chance to get up and leave.
Du Jingyi didn't like the way Earl Weiyuan Mansion was buying and selling by force. Even the Crown Princess's natal family should pay more attention to it, so when he was about to open his mouth to help Gu Xiaolang, he heard a man's voice not far away. .
It was as warm and delicate as sweet rain, which calmed down Gu Xiaolang's restless mood a lot.
“Dao Yun has met the Crown Princess, Uncle Weiyuan, his wife, General Shang, and Minister Yan.”
Then facing the Vice Minister's wife, Mrs. Li and Du Jingyi, Gu Xiaolang also nodded slightly, indicating a salute, his attitude was friendly and refreshing.
Seeing him coming, Du Jingyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
“Your Majesty, why are you here?”
The crown prince’s crown prince refers to Xie Daoyun, the crown prince of Prince Bin.
Hong Kong King is not necessarily an important figure among the royal relatives, but as the eldest son of King Hong, he has always been on good terms with the people in the East Palace.
So, he was naturally invited to today’s banquet.
"I just came from the prince's place. He is looking for someone to find the prince's concubine."
When the Crown Princess heard this, her eyes were a little startled, but she quickly adjusted herself, looked at everyone with a smile, and said.
"The banquet is about to begin. You guys can chat slowly for now. I will go over and take a look."
His appearance instantly eliminated the awkward situation.
As soon as the Crown Princess left, it was hard for everyone to say anything more.
Gu Xiaolang felt that the eyes of everyone in the Earl's Mansion, who had been pressing on her, also moved away, and she felt a little relieved in her heart.
When I raised my head and looked at the Prince Bin again, I felt very grateful. It's just that in such an occasion, she couldn't speak rashly, so she could only keep her gratitude in her heart and find an opportunity to express it.
Du Jingyi had already had a very good impression of the Prince Bin at the last housewarming banquet at the General's Mansion, especially now that his appearance had made him compare to Sanlang and Shilang of Weiyuan Bo, who were not very outstanding in the first place.
How should I put it? The light of fireflies cannot compete with the sun and moon. This is the current situation.
Probably the people of Uncle Weiyuan's family were also aware of this, so they were quite wary of the sudden appearance of Prince Bin.
Du Jingyi, however, took this opportunity and pulled Gu Xiaolang to stand up, and said to Mrs. Bo and the Vice Minister's wife, Mrs. Li.
"Eight sisters are still talking to Mrs. Guo and the others in front. I have to go over and take a look. The child is young, so don't say anything that shouldn't be said to make things difficult for others."
She made a pun and pointed to Earl Weiyuan's Mansion.
These characters have not even been written yet, and we are so impatient. So what if it is the Crown Princess's natal family?
Given the current situation of the Gu family, if Mrs. Gu does not agree, even if His Majesty grants a marriage, it will not help.
They all know this very well.
Seeing this, Shang Ji also stood up and said to the prince of King Xun.
“I said a few days ago that I would take the prince to meet Mr. Wen, and he is here today, so let’s go and get to know him.”
"Very good."
Then he nodded to everyone in the Earl's Mansion and left with his family.
When leaving, Gu Xiaolang's steps were hurried, much faster than when he came.
But everyone in the Earl's Mansion was too busy focusing on Prince Bin and Shang Ji, so naturally they didn't notice.
“When did Prince Bin and General Shang get so close?”
Saburo from the Earl's Mansion asked curiously, and this sentence also made Wei Yuanbo's face look a little solemn.
Mr. Wen as mentioned by Shang Ji is a weirdo.
Mingming does not have any official position in the court, but he is highly appreciated by the prince and has been doing things for the East Palace.
It's just that this person is very difficult to get in touch with. I don't know what path Shang Ji took to be able to establish a relationship with him and be very harmonious. His father-in-law, who is the prince, is not close to this Mr. Wen. Now Shang Ji Ji Que took Prince Xun to introduce him grandly.
So thinking of this, Wei Yuanbo was a little unhappy.
On the other hand, Madam Uncle withdrew her gaze, looked at the two brothers and asked lovingly.
“What do you think of this Miss Gu’s family?”
Shiro is still young, so he has no intention of restraining himself from having fun. Therefore, even if he knows what his mother is going to do, he still pretends to be naive.
It was Saburo who showed interest and said to Madam Uncle.
“If the mother can marry this young lady from the Gu family for her son, then the son will definitely make progress and gain fame.”
After hearing what he said, not only his wife, but also his sister-in-law, Mrs. Li, laughed from ear to ear and said something jokingly.
“No wonder they say you should start a family first and then start a career, but we, Sanlang, are good at negotiating conditions.”
