My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Du Jingyi naturally had worries in his eyes, but it was also because he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, so he deliberately showed his worries calmly. ░▒▓██▓▒░

Gu Shaoyu kissed her forehead, chuckled lightly, and stood up to set off, but he was not sloppy.

After so many years, the couple had been separated, so although Du Jingyi was a little reluctant to leave, he quickly adjusted to it, then stretched his body, washed up and had breakfast under the care of Cherry.

After the meal, she sent a message to the prefect's mansion, saying that she wanted to invite the prefect's wife to come over for a small gathering, but the time had not yet been determined. It would depend on whether she was free.

Prefect's Mansion.

When Mrs. Shao received this post, she was talking with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Shao, so she took the post and read it carefully and said with some annoyance.

"It must have been two months since the general's wife came to Cezhou. I thought she didn't like to deal with us Cezhou people, so she just sent a congratulatory gift and didn't bother her much. Why did she suddenly come down today? Posted?”

"Maybe the mansion has been renovated and she wants to entertain guests, but she is not familiar with the situation in Cezhou, so she naturally wants to ask you. Go ahead, it will be fine."

The person who spoke was Mrs. Shao. Her tone was calm and gentle, but she guessed Du Jingyi's thoughts.

The old man is not too old, only in his early fifties. He looks very kind, so even though there are some grooves on his face, he does not look fierce. Instead, she is an amiable and calm old lady.

The Shao family could not have come this far without her guidance.

So when Mrs. Shao heard this, she knew it in her heart, so she smiled and said.

"My wife, please prepare a list first. If the general's wife really wants to entertain guests, she might as well just follow the famous list."

"Of course you have to prepare a list, but you remember to look at the situation. If the general's wife is difficult to get along with, come back as soon as possible after sending the list. Don't say anything more. But if the general's wife is polite and easy to talk to, you should You can give me a few more reminders.”

"What does mother-in-law want her daughter-in-law to remind her of?"

"There are not all the same minds in Cezhou. Shengming can reach this day without the help of General Gu, so those families who have had rifts with the General's Mansion in the early years should pay more attention, especially the Xiong family and the Kuang family, don’t take it lightly.”

After hearing Mrs. Shao's words, Mrs. Shao's face became more serious and she nodded.

She had suffered a lot in the hands of these two families, so her mother-in-law’s reminder made sense!

"Well, my daughter-in-law knows."

"Okay, you go back and prepare first. I'll just keep an eye on Brother Fen's homework."

Mrs. Shao was able to raise a son of a prefect, so she was naturally very experienced in raising children. Therefore, Mrs. Shao felt relieved, stood up, bowed and left.

After sorting out the list, I packed up and went straight to the General's Mansion with the meeting gift that afternoon.

Du Jingyi was not surprised when he heard the news of Mrs. Shao's arrival.

Now they are in the small attic in the west courtyard, watching Brother Tai and the others working hard in the martial arts field, so Jin'er and two aunts are also there.

"Quickly ask Mrs. Shao to sit in the front hall. I'll be there right away."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Does Jin'er want to go with Auntie to have a listen?"

Du Jingyi asked, and the eldest aunt agreed. In a family like theirs, it is a good thing for children to have more exposure to these worldly things.

"Go on, go on. Your second grandmother and I are here to watch. You can come back and tell us later after you have finished listening."

Jin'er stood up and saluted, and then followed Du Jingyi to the front hall.

Along the way, Mrs. Shao was surprised by the changes in the General's Mansion. She had only been here once a long time ago. At that time, the General's Mansion was majestic, but seemed a bit cold.

Unlike the current General's Mansion, which is both majestic and elegant, and full of generosity and propriety, you can tell at a glance that this General's wife is an arranger.

I also had some thoughts in my mind, so when I saw Du Jingyi, my attitude became more respectful.

"This woman, the Han family from Shaomen, has met the general's wife."

"Mrs. Shao, please don't be polite. Please take a seat."

Du Jingyi doesn't have any airs, she speaks softly and softly, and she has a gentle temper at first glance, but she is really young and powerful. If she didn't know that she already has four sons who are more than ten years old, I'm afraid Mrs. Shao would think that she is She is a young woman who has been in bloom for more than two decades.

So I praised him.

"The general's wife takes good care of herself, she looks like a little girl."

"Mrs. Shao is not too generous."

"Made the lady laugh."

You always need to say a few more polite words. After Mrs. Shao sat down, Na Jin'er took two steps forward and saluted according to the rules.

"The little daughter of the Gu family, Jin Niang, has met Aunt Shao."

"Ah, Shui Lingling's daughter was raised only by the General's Mansion. The one in my family is not even half as good as yours."

"Auntie, you're welcome. Jin Niang has heard that Sister Shao in the Prefect's Mansion is a rare beauty. She has always thought that it would be best if she had the chance to meet her."

"What's so difficult about this? After she finishes her two-day study of female celebrities, she will invite Miss Gu to visit her. If she knows that a good sister like you is here, she will be so happy that she can't even sleep."

Jin'er had a sweet mouth and made Mrs. Shao very happy with a few words.

She didn't have a hard temper, but this was the general's residence, and it was the first time she met the general's wife, so she naturally had to be careful, but Jin'er's few words of fun relieved her nervousness, so she Jin'er's impression was very good.

Du Jingyi said something at the right time.

"The mansion has been undergoing renovations a few days ago, and it is difficult to invite people to come and go. Therefore, the renovations were completed yesterday. I was sure there would be no problem, so I thought of sending a message to the prefect's mansion first, saying that I wanted to invite Mrs. Shao. Come and sit here. Firstly, we can meet each other so that we can take care of you in the future. Secondly, I plan to entertain some guests at a banquet in two days. But you also know that I am new here and am not very familiar with these, so I asked the general after , I invited Mrs. Shao to come over for a little gathering."

In a few sentences, the purpose is clearly explained.

Mrs. Shao had already had her mother-in-law’s advice in mind, so she was not surprised.

So he smiled, took out a list from his sleeve, handed it to Du Jingyi, and explained.

"I thought of it when Madam sent the post, so I brought the list here. Madam will take a look at it first. If there is anything you don't understand, I will talk to you about it."

"No wonder Master Shao can sit in the position of prefect at such a young age. He really has a good wife at home."
