My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

After chatting and joking for a while, Eunuch Hu, who was next to Queen Guo, came to invite someone.

The table was placed in the side hall. Queen Guo, Prime Minister Guo, Mrs. Guo, and Uncle Wei Yuan naturally sat at the middle table with the Countess. As for the others, they sat scattered according to their seniority.

The liveliest thing was the table where Brother Tai was sitting. Even with the wet nurse accompanying him, the four children still made a lot of noise while eating.

The two Li sisters were a little surprised when they saw Ping'er serving the four of them with a good temper. Then Li Yuanjiao said something more.

Young Master Shang, you are so considerate.

Not to mention anything else, he can accurately know what the four children like to eat and what they don't like to eat. It can be seen that he has taken these brothers seriously.

So after hearing this, Ping'er also replied with a slight smile.

My younger brothers look strong, but in reality they are still picky eaters. For example, Brother Tai likes to eat fruits and vegetables, Brother Wen likes to eat meatballs, Brother Cong doesn't like the taste of ginger and garlic, and Brother Ming My son can eat spicy food, so he eats more when we eat with them on weekdays, so he naturally notices it, which makes the second lady laugh.

Li Yuanjiao has a lively temperament and often plays with her young nephews and nieces in the house on weekdays. But if she is asked to be as careful and considerate as Shang Zhiping, she cannot do it.

So he looked at Shang Zhiping with envy, and there was more admiration in his eyes than a daughter would have.

When the eldest daughter of the Li family saw her younger sister looking like this, she understood something in her heart. Naturally, there would be no scenes of two daughters competing for one husband in the Li family, so she voluntarily quit the match and quietly He ate the food in front of him without saying a word.

There is little joy in the small, and old thoughts in the old.

Although Queen Guo was sitting at the same table with her father and mother, her eyes were looking at Brother Tai. Unexpectedly, when she glanced around, she saw a slight frown between the Crown Princess's brows, so her words changed. He looked at the princess and said.

I haven't seen Tong'er and Yi'er for several days. How are they doing now?

My mother is worried about me. Everything is fine. It's just that my husband has to take the academic test recently, so the two children are a little busy with homework, so they stayed in the East Palace. Tomorrow my daughter-in-law will bring them to pay respect to the mother.

Homework is important. I'll do it later when I have some free time. You taught me very well. I'll give the children two sets of Hu brushes and Hui ink later.

Thank you, Queen Mother.

The Crown Princess received a few words of attention from the Queen, and the dissatisfaction in her heart was relieved a little. As for the others, they were a little cautious about eating the meal, and it was over after a brief taste.

After the meal, it was time for everyone to leave.

Queen Guo took a deep look at Brother Tai and the three brothers, and then said to Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi.

It's not easy to raise children, so you and your wife should pay more attention, you know?

Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best.

Well, that's good. Let's go back. It's time for the child to take a nap.

After hearing Queen Guo's words, everyone bowed and left. When they left, Mrs. Liu, the elder sister-in-law, was full of joy, and the second young lady of the Li family also looked at Ping'er a little shyly, but Ping'er was quite magnanimous and said nothing. Not too much action.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi and the Vice Minister's wife, Mrs. Li, looked at each other and basically understood.

On the way back, Du Jingyi was talking to his sister-in-law Liu, and she couldn't hide her happy expression.

I knew that the young lady from the Li family was good, but I didn't have much contact with her. Today I took a closer look, and they are both good! But I think Ping'er seems to talk more to the second lady.

I also think that the second young lady may have a more cheerful and lively temperament, so she can talk about more topics. I just don't know what Ping'er thinks. I'll go back and ask later if he can make up his mind too. If the idea comes to mind, then we have to hurry up and make peace early.

Yes, yes, my siblings are more considerate than me, the mother.

In the past, Du Jingyi might have been overly worried when her sister-in-law said such words, but now she knew that her sister-in-law meant what she said from her heart, and she was naturally happy that her plan for Ping'er was recognized.

The clatter of horses' hooves rushed towards the general's mansion, and they arrived not long after.

As soon as they entered the yard and the door of the house, the sister-in-law looked at Ping'er anxiously and asked.

What do you mean, do you think you have a chance?

Ping'er glanced at his mother and knew that she was anxious about her marriage, so he quickly comforted her and sat down and said.

It's just one side. Mother has thought too much, but if I have to ask my son to choose, he wants the eldest daughter of the Li family.

The eldest lady? Not the second lady? I see that you and the second lady are not chatting happily?

The second young lady chased after me and asked me questions. I was embarrassed not to answer, but compared to her, my son thinks the eldest lady is more suitable.

It was suitable again. Du Jingyi thought that he did so much just to hope that Ping'er could choose a suitable person, not just a suitable person, so he was about to say a few words, but was stopped by Gu Shaoyu.

He looked at Ping'er seriously and asked.

Have you thought about it? In the next few decades, it will be you and her who will live together. Whether you want to be suitable or compatible, you have to think clearly. Don't regret the choice you made today in the future, hurting others and yourself.

With Gu Shaoyu's current status and ability, Ping'er has no problem choosing someone he likes, and this is also Du Jingyi's original intention. However, if a tough melon is not sweet, they may not think it is good, and it is also good for Ping'er. That's why Gu Shaoyu asked this question.

Ping'er glanced at his mother, then at his sixth aunt Du Jingyi, and finally looked at Gu Shaoyu firmly and said.

Ping'er knows that his abilities are not outstanding, so the choice of this wife is mostly based on the sixth uncle and sixth aunt and the title of the Duke's palace. The second young lady of the Li family is certainly good, has a lively and charming temperament, but the Li family The eldest young lady is even more cautious in her advances and retreats. When she saw that the second young lady was interested in me, she quietly withdrew without being coerced by the family or affected by the false reputation of the outside world. Therefore, Ping'er also truly belongs to her. What I want Not only do I need a wife who can talk to me, but I also need someone with a firm mind who is on the same journey. I may not be able to think everything carefully, but if I can have someone like the eldest lady of the Li family to remind me, I will be able to do it in the future. Take fewer detours.

Du Jingyi and his sister-in-law Liu obviously didn't expect Ping'er to be so mature and have such thoughts, so they were surprised and filled with emotion.

But when Gu Shaoyu heard these remarks, he felt a lot more at ease. His choice was justified. Now it seems that the eldest lady of the Li family is indeed more suitable, so he agreed. his statement. (End of chapter)
