MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 486 childhood

"Since you have figured it out, we won't interfere much. I will go to the Li family in person tomorrow to propose marriage for you."

Du Jingyi knew it was going to be fast, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. His sister-in-law Liu was still in shock, but Ping'er seemed to understand, nodded and said.

 “Just follow Uncle Liu’s orders in everything.”

"Um."

 Mother and son waited for Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi to leave, then returned to Lanmingyuan. After entering and sitting down, Shang Zhiping poured a cup of hot tea for his mother. Then he saw that she was still a little stunned and asked.

 “What’s wrong, mother?”

Sister-in-law Liu grabbed her son's hand, her eyes still a little worried, and then said.

"Ping'er, are your life's affairs about to be decided so soon? Do you really not think about it anymore? Mother thinks that you and the second young lady are more suitable."

Shang Zhiping thought his mother was worried about something. He was still thinking about this for a long time, so he patted his mother's hand with a slight smile, and then said.

“Is it appropriate for a mother to just see her son say a few words to her?”

“It’s better to have something to say than nothing to say.”

"How does mother know that her son and the eldest lady have nothing to say? When Uncle Six goes to arrange the marriage tomorrow, the eldest lady and I will naturally have something to say."

 After Shang Zhiping finished speaking, he saw that his mother's expression still did not improve, and then he lowered his eyebrows and asked.

“Mother, do you think that the eldest daughter of the Li family has a good idea and may have a tough temper in the future? That’s why you are so worried?”

Seeing him open his mouth, Liu stopped covering up.

"Hey, I didn't know that the eldest lady would be more suitable if the Duke's Mansion is to be supported in the future. But your sixth aunt also said that you and the second lady are more similar in temperament. You have lived a miserable life in the past ten years. Yes, if in the next few decades there is still no one who knows both coldness and hotness, and a congenial temperament by my side, then I will be tied to the Duke's mansion for the rest of my life. Naturally, my mother is not willing to do so. Besides, you are now six years old. Uncle Six and Aunt are very capable. With their help, there will still be some buffering time until you can fully stand on your own, so..."

Every word Liu said was for the sake of his son. Shang Zhiping also appreciated his mother's concern, but he had listened to his mother's words for more than ten years. This time, he wanted to make the decision himself.

 So, I still firmly chose the eldest daughter of the Li family.

“Don’t worry, mother, your son will live a good life. He will also honor you, his uncles, his aunts, his aunts and uncles.”

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Liu stopped obsessing, clapped her hands and said.

"My mother has already prepared the betrothal gift for your marriage. It includes what your grandmother left, what your father earned, and what your sixth uncle and sixth aunt gave you. In addition, the shop has made good profits in the past few years. , so the most decent thing we can do is to never let the eldest lady of the Li family suffer!"

With the hope of getting a bride, Mrs. Liu, her sister-in-law, found a new job, so she quickly came out of the sad mood and immediately went to deal with the betrothal gift list.

She is just such a son, and she has to do everything in a good way, so that the Li family can have face and let outsiders see that they, orphans and widowers, can still earn a good future!

 Looking at his mother's excitement and busyness, Shang Zhiping also smiled happily.

Such a situation was something he never dared to think about before, but now, he is determined to use this as a cornerstone to move forward. Since the future head of the Duke's Mansion is himself, then he wants the glory of the Duke's Mansion. Just keep running it well! In Lanming Courtyard, both mother and son were waiting for the completion of the marriage, but in Xitang Courtyard, Du Jingyi still didn't understand Ping'er's choice of the eldest daughter of the Li family.

 As a result, Gu Shaoyu put down the tea cup and explained to her.

"Ping'er died when he was young, and he didn't really care much about things that were too romantic. If the second young lady of the Li family met Ping'er, who grew up in a prosperous life, they would naturally be a match made in heaven. But now, I also think that the eldest lady of the Li family is more suitable. Sometimes to warm a person's heart does not necessarily mean to be passionate, and warm companionship is also a good way to do it."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi finally figured it out, so he smiled lightly and said.

“I’m just trying to be simple. I thought that Ping’er’s temperament is gentle and would be more suitable with a wife who likes to have fun. Now it seems that treating each other as a guest is not a problem.”

 “That’s what the lady said.”

 Then, Gu Shaoyu added another sentence.

“Not everyone is like you and me. Even couples who have been married for many years are still as sweet as honey.”

Du Jingyi suddenly heard his general's love words, and was honestly a little frightened. Gu Shaoyu obviously didn't expect his wife to have such an expression, and was a little embarrassed.

 Fortunately, his skin color was darker, so he couldn't see the blush, but he pulled his collar and then took another sip of tea, which still revealed his slight impatience.

Seeing him like this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but laugh, then took his hand and said calmly.

 “That’s what the general said!”

Gu Shaoyu knew what she meant, so he reached out and patted her on the head, then gave her an endearing smile.

The next day, it was a good time for the sky to show light and clouds, and the morning glow seemed to know that something good was going to happen, so it was called beautiful.

Facing the morning glow, Gu Shaoyu, Du Jingyi, sister-in-law Liu and Shang Zhiping all appeared at the Li family. Although the Li family was a little caught off guard, they knew the purpose of their trip.

Being able to get Gu Shaoyu to pay so much attention to them, to come to visit them the first day and the next day, is to give them the face of the Li family, so everyone in the Li family is still happy about this upcoming marriage. Inside.

"I'm a rough man and don't understand those roundabout excuses. Today I brought my wife, sister-in-law and nephew to your house. I just want to propose a marriage to my nephew for your house. I also want Mr. Li to show my kindness. Above, please accept this marriage."

Gu Shaoyu was more direct. Du Jingyi smiled seriously beside him, but he still felt that his general was too quick. He didn't even take a sip of tea when he came in. He was so direct. He didn't know if it would scare the Li family. people.

However, to her surprise, Mr. Li was also a fast-talking person. After seeing this, he and his wife looked at each other and laughed out loud.

"Easy to say, easy to say. I think this kid is also a good one. Now that he is determined to be my son-in-law, it is natural that the two families will have a good relationship."

The marriage between the two families has been talked about for a long time. The minister's wife often goes to her parents' house these days for the same reason. They have also understood the stakes involved, so there is no need to say more about this marriage. Once it’s settled, it’s settled. (End of chapter)
