My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Prime Minister Guo looked moved, feeling happy that the Gu family could have such a good child to support him.

Seeing this, Shang Ji didn't want to be sentimental about the past anymore, so he casually told the story about Guo Jiasilang.

You mean Xiaoba?

Well, I have talked with my grandmother. She doesn't want cousin Lang to marry far away, so I guess she will choose a husband for her in Jinling City in the end. That's why I thought of letting your Shiro and Bamei know each other. .”

Xue Niang lost her mother when she was young, and she has always been taught by her sister-in-law. Now that I am back, I naturally have to pay more attention to her. She will be pregnant next month, so the marriage should be put on the agenda.

I have also inquired about Shiro's situation, and it is indeed suitable. So if Grandpa Guo doesn't dislike Snow Niang, he might consider seeing how this grandson-in-law is doing?

Shang Ji said it sincerely, but he didn't rush to force the Guo family to accept Xue Niang as their granddaughter-in-law.

To be honest, in terms of status, Xue Niang is not inferior to any daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law of the Guo family, but in terms of how she behaves, she is not inferior.

After all, she has been raised in a boudoir for more than ten years and rarely sees anyone. Naturally, she is not as good at dancing as the daughters-in-law of the Guo family.

Prime Minister Guo is wise and shrewd, and the marriages he chooses for his family's descendants are all perfect matches.

Therefore, Shang Ji was not completely sure whether Xue Niang could catch Prime Minister Guo's eyes.

After being silent for a short while, Prime Minister Guo did not hide it, but spoke directly.

Shao Yu suddenly mentioned this matter. I had never thought about it before. You also know in your heart that my first choice for Si Lang's wife is Lang'er. Firstly, she is a child raised by your grandmother. She has natural moral character. There will be no problem, and secondly, I also want to rely on the Guo family’s small contribution to help the Gu family.”

Even if the two of them have a child in the future, I can still make the decision to let them take the Gu family name and join the Gu family to preserve the incense of the Gu family. But if it were another family, I'm afraid they might not agree.

The Guo family has been deeply grateful for the kindness of the Gu family, but has been unable to repay it for so many years.

Therefore, what Prime Minister Guo said was true and true. Shang Ji took a deep breath when he heard it, feeling happy that the Gu family could still be missed so much.

So, I didn’t want to hide it.

Anyway, Queen Guo also had this idea, so Shang Ji simply told Prime Minister Guo that he wanted to change his surname and join the Gu family.

The old man had also seen strong winds and waves, so his face was calm, but in his heart, the storm was terrible.

He looked at Shang Ji intently, as if testing whether his belief was as firm as he said.

And this idea has been in Shang Ji's mind for many years, so he is naturally not afraid of others looking at it.

After a while, Prime Minister Guo said as if he understood something.

Back then, Yan Gang ignored the family's opposition and vowed to follow the founding emperor and raised the flag to resist. I thought he was too passionate. Now it seems that there is really something in the blood of your Gu family that will defy the world. His courage and perseverance.”

The sentence You take care of your family already expressed Prime Minister Guo's intention. Shang Ji was not stupid, so he naturally understood it.

So he smiled and said.

Grandpa Sun Xiao, you should get your share.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Guo couldn't help laughing, took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Shang Ji also had a drink with him, and everything was kept in silence.

The prince heard what they were doing here and asked curiously.

What did Rokuro say that made my grandfather so happy? Can you also tell me about it?

This boy is sitting next to me, but my heart is flying to the back. He is thinking about his grandmother, wife and children. If not, I am making a joke out of him.

Shang Ji's desire to adopt the Gu surname and join the Gu family was not a trivial matter, so they would not rashly propose it until the right time came.

Therefore, when the prince heard these words, although he had some disbelief in his eyes, he also knew that since his grandfather did not want to say anything on this occasion, there must be a reason why he did not want to say it.

He followed these words and said jokingly.

Liu Lang's appearance as a good grandson and a good husband is quite surprising. Who would have thought that the general who was so majestic in Cezhou in the past and was powerful without anger would be so in love with his family.

If you make His Royal Highness laugh, you will be punished with a cup of tea.

After saying that, Shang Ji picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, simply and neatly.

Seeing this, everyone also joined in for a drink, and the atmosphere reached a climax, with bursts of laughter coming from the royal boat.

And the first official boat that followed the royal boat was equally lively at the moment.

With the Crown Princess sitting in charge, this official boat is a paradise for the daughters of the aristocratic family.

On weekdays, one should behave in a gentle and virtuous manner, but today, under the reflection of the night and the lotus lanterns, a lot of the daughter's liveliness and coquettishness appeared.

They stood on the deck one by one, pointing at the lotus lanterns below and talking.

Du Jingyi and Mrs. Gu were also among them. Looking at the stable mountains and rivers and the peaceful and prosperous times, they felt very emotional.

Jinling City also has such river cruises, but most of them are arranged during Qiqiao and Mid-Autumn Festival. When you have the opportunity in the future, we will go south and take you to play.

Thank you, grandma. I have lived in Jinling City before, but this is my first time to board the boat and swim on the canal.

Are you feeling uncomfortable?

After all, we were walking on the canal, which was different from flat ground, and Du Jingyi was pregnant, so it was normal for Mrs. Gu to be more concerned.

Du Jingyi is not squeamish. He used to travel all over the country with his parents, so he often took this boat.

What's more, she has also been on a boat, which was completely different from this boat.

However, the boat itself moved slowly, and there were no waves on the canal. Standing on it was like walking on flat ground, so Du Jingyi felt that it was okay.

Then he smiled and said.

Grandma, don't worry, I'm in good health and I don't feel dizzy.

That's good.

After saying that, he patted the back of Du Jingyi's hand and saw that her little hand was also warm, which made him feel relieved.

Then she turned to Gu Xiaolang, who was also dressed carefully and stood beside her.

Don't you like to swim on the river the most on weekdays? What do you think?

The lotus lanterns are interesting, but there are few things to enjoy on the boat.

However, this is also related to the fact that there are many people on the boat but they are not familiar with them.

In the past, when they went out for river cruises in Jinling City, most of them would go with their close friends, singing, dancing, or playing the piano and flute, which was always a bit funny.

But today's river cruise was more about just standing on the deck admiring the scenery of lotus lanterns in the river, so it was less fun.

Gu Xiaolang's words had just finished. Before Mrs. Gu and the others could reply, they heard a voice coming from behind, which sounded calm and calm.
