My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

It was Shang Ji who said something.

I have carefully inquired about the matter of Shiro Guo, and it is indeed a good thing. Therefore, I can mention it to the prince when I go to the prince's east palace for a banquet. Anyway, she will get her hairpin at the end of February. If it can be settled, then we can get married to the Guo family.

This marriage should have happened many years ago.

However, the world is changing so fast, so in the end it falls on Guo Jia Shilang and Xue Niang, which can be regarded as the regret of that year.

As for Gu Xiaolang's marriage, they couldn't interfere at the moment even if they wanted to, so it was better to put it on hold for now.

On this point, the opinions of Shang Ji and Du Jingyi are particularly consistent.

It's snowing outside and there's no time to return, but every household in the city, men, women, old and young, are all busy preparing for how to spend the New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, the streets are full of people.

Xing Zhao took Shang Zhiping for a stroll outside. He did not ride in a carriage or horse, but walked back and forth among the crowd, looking at the joy on people's faces and the prosperous scene in this world.

In the past few months, Shang Zhiping has relaxed a lot with Xing Zhao.

The horses have learned to ride, the winter hunting has been over, and the people have become a lot more cheerful.

Although he is still not as comfortable making friends with others as Xing Zhao is, at least he no longer has stage fright when meeting young men from aristocratic families and Xing Zhao's close friends on the street.

This time we returned to Jinling City, our stay was too short, and we didn't take you around properly. When you have the chance, you can go there and stay there for three to five months. I guarantee you will see things you have never seen before. world!

Regarding this, Xing Zhao is confident.

He grew up in Jinling City since he was a child. It can be said that there is no neighborhood in Jinling City that he cannot recognize.

And compared to Sui'an City, which has only been prosperous for a few years, Jinling City still has a somewhat ancient atmosphere, which has been accumulated over many years.

Therefore, it is more interesting than Sui'an City.

Shang Zhiping listened carefully and watched excitedly. It was also the first time for him to walk around outside so down-to-earth.

Everyone coming in and out was driven by carriages and horses, so he saw a lot of novel things this time.

Uncle Zhao, please walk slower, I haven't finished reading yet.

The vendors in front of him were selling everything, and Shang Zhiping was dazzled by the sight.

There was a plain silver hairpin inside, which looked very exquisitely made. He thought it would match his mother, so he wanted to buy it.

Xing Zhao saw him like this and said something jokingly.

Looks like he's a caring person. Today he's being filial to his mother, but another day he's going to be my wife's blessing.

Turning over the New Year, Shang Zhiping is also fourteen years old.

If he were in other deep mansions, he would have been accompanied by a maid.

Therefore, he could understand what Xing Zhao meant, so Shang Zhiping's ears turned red.

It's just that it was a cold winter day, so everyone was red from the cold. Naturally, his embarrassment was eliminated among the crowd.

Sir, please take it.

The vendor wrapped the hairpin and handed it to Shang Zhiping, who stuffed it into his arms very carefully.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them visited many places, stopping and going, sometimes buying this, sometimes buying that.

Butler He simply asked a few boys to follow them, so there was no need to worry about no one carrying anything.

It's just that the loose money in the wallet is spent faster than running water.

After struggling for a long time, the two returned to the general's mansion with a full load.

After personally delivering the things to each house, they went back to their respective courtyards to rest.

In Lanming Courtyard, Mrs. Liu, the sister-in-law, did not notice her son coming back and was looking at the account book in the greenhouse. This is called carefulness.

Du Jingyi gave this account book to her a month ago. He said that there were some problems and asked her to take a look at it.

Du Jingyi's current body naturally cannot work too much, so his sister-in-law Liu didn't think there was anything wrong and immediately agreed.

However, this account book is also really strange.

There was nothing wrong with it one by one, but it always added up to a loss, which made her think about it several times and she didn't know where the problem was.

Therefore, spending some time every day to study non-stop makes it easier than before to pass the lonely years.

Mother.

came back?

Seeing the boy following behind her son carrying a large bag and a small bag, Mrs. Liu, the sister-in-law, smiled and said with loving eyes.

How comfortable are you following your cousin Zhao? I see that you are busy outside every day.

My son is not busy. He is just walking around with his cousin. I never knew that the neighborhoods in Sui'an City are so lively. When we wait for the Lantern Festival, my mother should go out for a walk with us. It will definitely be fun.

Seeing that her son's brows and eyes had relaxed a lot, and even his back felt a little straighter, his sister-in-law, Ms. Liu, was extremely happy.

Therefore, whatever he said seemed good to him.

Okay, let's go out for a walk then. What are these?

After the boy put down his things, he bowed and left, so only the mother and son were in the room.

It's useful to have something to eat. I also bought a rattle for my brother at Uncle Six's house. It makes a loud rattle when he shakes it. It's really fun.

As he spoke, Shang Zhiping took out the rattle from the pile of things and turned it around. As expected, the sound was clear and crisp.

Sister-in-law Liu didn't expect that her son was quite attentive, so she couldn't help but sigh.

My son has really grown up. He must be good in the future and set an example for your younger brothers in the sixth uncle's family.

The two of them didn't know whether the child in Du Jingyi's belly was a boy or a girl, but under the current situation, it would be better to give birth to a boy.

In this way, Shang Ji can be regarded as having a successor, so the younger brother is mentioned in his words.

You can send it over later. Your uncle and aunt will definitely like it after seeing it.

It doesn’t matter what the thing is, what matters is the mind.

In the past, although Shang Zhiping knew that they and his wife were blood relatives, there was always a barrier between them, but things are much better now. Therefore, even if Shang Zhiping just went to say hello, the two of them would be happy to come.

Well, my son knows.

After saying this, Shang Zhiping took out the plain silver hairpin from his arms and handed it to his mother, and then said with nostalgia.

My son remembered that there was a silver hairpin in his mother's jewelry box that was very similar to this one, but for some reason he didn't see his mother wearing it anymore. I saw one at the stall today and bought an extra one for my mother. I wonder if you like it?

The plain silver hairpin looks exquisite, but it's not worth much.

But falling in Liu's eyes reminded her of many past events, and tears fell down inadvertently.
