My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Therefore, the fourth aunt became more and more fond of Du Jingyi.

"Shao Yu is really the right wife. You have nothing to say to our Gu family!"

She is filial and considerate to Mrs. Gu, is also humble and courteous to elders like them, and takes care of her cousins ​​​​in-law who are no longer at home. She really does a good job in the Gu family.

Du Jingyi was a little pleased after hearing the praise from his fourth aunt.

Treat people sincerely and they will treat you sincerely. This is her favorite result.

A few people were walking around in the temple fair, but they saw a lot of novelty things. Du Jingyi also bought some interesting things for his sister-in-law Liu, which they didn't usually see, but they didn't miss any of them.

I was about to leave, but suddenly I was stopped by someone.

Du Jingyi turned around and saw Sanlang's wife, accompanied by three old ladies, three madams and Shang Siniang. The female relatives of the third room of the Duke's Mansion were all there.

After all, they are relatives of the same family, so there is no such thing as not saying hello when they meet.

So he smiled, Du Jingyi walked over with his fourth aunt and Xue Niang, and said hello to the third old lady.

"What a coincidence, I met my third uncle and grandma here. I would like to send you my best regards."

Then he greeted the third wife, Sanlang's wife and Shang Siniang, and Xue Niang also greeted them. The fourth aunt, because she was not very familiar with them, just nodded her head and said nothing more.

Sanlang's wife was naturally happy to meet Du Jingyi once more, so she said with surprise.

"We were just here to join in the fun. I didn't expect to meet the young lady. It's really a surprise."

Everyone in Sui'an city knew that Shang Ji left the Duke's palace and joined the Gu family, so now she calls her the sixth brother and sister. This is the result of the three sons' wives stealing the chicken but losing the rice, so she is also very smart to call her the sixth brother and sister. Du Jingyi is the young lady.

The statement from the General's Office is correct.

The third old lady wanted to come up and say a few more words, but she was blocked by Sanlang's wife without leaving a trace, and then she spoke.

"The vegetarian food at Baoyin Temple is quite delicious. I wonder if the young lady has ever tasted it. Do you want to join us?"

"Third sister-in-law, please remember that we came with the Guo family. They have made arrangements before and after. I'm afraid we can't use them together."

"I see. If that's the case, let's not bother you any more. I got a few good things there, and I'll give them to Brother Tai to play with tomorrow."

"Well, let's take our leave first."

"Young lady, walk slowly."

The attitude of Sanlang's wife was respectful and a little more flattering than before. After Du Jingyi and the others left, the three old ladies were still a little reluctant and said with a pout.

"What? The elders have to pay tribute to the younger ones. This didn't happen before!"

"Grandma, please don't mention the past again. Have you forgotten what I just said to you a few days ago?"

Sanlang's wife's eyes were as bright as fire, and she didn't look away when she looked at her. It was full of warnings. The three families were living a happy life now, all because Sanlang had gained respect in the court.

Therefore, for the sake of their own good life, they dare not stand out.

The third lady and Shang Siniang on the side were not people who liked to keep silent, so they just kept silent when they saw this.

The joy of visiting the temple fair was interrupted for a while by the appearance of Sanlang's wife and others. Du Jingyi thought about what he had learned recently about Shang Qiniang, and thought that he could find out something from Sanlang's wife, so he lowered his head and thought. stand up.

Seeing that she suddenly became silent, Xue Niang thought she was remembering what happened in the past, so she walked to her side and asked worriedly.

"Sixth sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Du Jingyi was suddenly asked this question and was a little confused.

But she soon realized that the Snow Lady was caring about her, so she smiled and replied.

"It's nothing bad. I was distracted because I remembered something else. Let's go. Don't keep the two grandmothers waiting. Let's go and try how delicious the vegetarian food here is."

"Um."

Xue Niang has always been simple and does not remember things in her heart.

But the fourth aunt could see clearly from the sidelines that these relatives of the Duke's Mansion were obviously not economical lamps, so she secretly thought that if they dared to make trouble, she would let them know what a powerful military commander is!

The fasting meal was used by several people in the Zen room. The monks specially brought it to them. It was simple but tasted good.

Du Jingyi ate half a bowl more, which made Mrs. Gu very happy.

"You haven't used it much since you gave birth to Brother Tai. It seems that the vegetarian food here is to your liking."

"Well, it's simple but very flavorful. When I get back, I'll ask Danruo to make a few of them too. Then my granddaughter-in-law will be able to eat half a bowl more rice every day."

"It's a blessing to be able to eat. If you have to manage such a large general's palace by yourself, you have to pay more attention to your body and bones."

"Thank you, Grandma Guo, for your concern."

Several people were talking while eating, and the meal was quite comfortable.

After the meal, in order to eliminate food, at Mrs. Guo's suggestion, I went to the backyard of Baoyin Temple. There were many ornamental chrysanthemums in bloom, all of which were in good bloom.

Wood chrysanthemum, peach chrysanthemum, golden bell chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum, each kind of chrysanthemum is very good at serving, competing for beauty and beauty.

Mrs. Guo saw a pot of ten thousand-year-old chrysanthemum, and then said with a smile.

"On par with what you sent."

Du Jingyi took a look and saw that it was indeed the case, and replied with curved eyebrows.

"Maybe some of the masters in this temple also like to take care of flowers and plants, so the chrysanthemums here are blooming so beautifully."

Everyone nodded and agreed with her words.

While watching, Mrs. Guo also gave instructions to Mrs. Guo San.

"The sacrificial objects to be burned this year should be ordered from Baoyin Temple. I see that the objects here are made very carefully, and they are more serious than those sold outside."

Mrs. Guo said that the day of burning and offering was on the first day of October.

There is such a custom in Daxing. In addition to the Hungry Ghost Festival on July 15th, there will also be a burning and offering ceremony on the first day of October every year, but it will be simpler than the Hungry Ghost Festival.

Most of them are just small rituals performed by each family in the ancestral hall, unlike the Hungry Ghost Festival, when the imperial court went out to pray for blessings in a grand ceremony.

After receiving the instruction, Mrs. Guo San naturally nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will make arrangements for myself."

Du Jingyi said politely after hearing this.

"That being the case, why don't we follow Grandma Guo and buy what we need for the General's Mansion this year? I didn't know that Baoyin Temple still had these offerings."

"They don't do much. They are just used by monks to kill time, so not many families know about it. We got it by chance, and we have been settled in Baoyin Temple ever since." (End of Chapter)
