MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 285 Taifuji Temple

Shang Ji was very impatient to talk to his seventh brother anymore. He had said such words many times before, but Shang Qilang seemed to have a problem with his ears and just refused to listen.

 Always feel that I am capable and can deal with it.

The elder sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang who were present did not feel cruel after hearing Shang Ji's words, but because of some consideration in the past, Xue Niang still helped.

"Seventh Brother, if you are really doing our best, don't have any illusions anymore. Ever since my mother passed away and Mrs. Wei came to power, the East and West Gardens have been destined to be unable to live in peace. Today, His Majesty's grace will also bring you and me together. The families are separated. From now on, the surname in the General's Mansion will be Gu, and the one in the Duke's Mansion will be surnamed Shang. It's a sure thing."

Shang Qilang became more and more confused after hearing Xue Niang's words, and said with some dissatisfaction and sullenness in his eyes.

“Eight Sister, don’t forget that the only ones His Majesty asked to change their surnames are Sixth Brother and his son. You also have Ping’er, and your sister-in-law is still from our business!”

"But they are also the ones that my Gu family wants to protect. Shang Qilang, do you want to cause trouble?"

Shang Ji has been a commander for many years and has seen many assassins.

He was the same one before, but it is still rare to see people like Shang Qilang who have a heart as high as the sky and a life as thin as paper.

So, when he exuded an attitude of repelling guests, his sister-in-law Liu knew that today was destined to end on bad terms.

 Said to Shang Ji.

“I’m afraid my brother and sister won’t be able to coax Brother Tai, why don’t you go and have a look first.”

 He wanted to send him away with an excuse, but unfortunately Shang Ji didn't take this trick and said directly.

 “It doesn’t matter, my grandmother and mother-in-law are here too.”

Shang Ji spoke quickly. Now he calls Mrs. Gu directly as grandmother, which makes Shang Qilang quite excited.

“Sixth brother now has a supporter in his family, and he is called grandma. I really can’t wait.”

"I have no choice but to obey His Majesty's decree. However, I'm afraid that my father won't be able to sit on the Duke's seat for much longer. It would be better to vacate it earlier, so as not to cause problems in the Duke's house because of disobedience to the Holy Orders. That would be troublesome.”

Although Shang Ji did not continue speaking, the meaning was obvious. If you disobeyed the order, the consequences would be extremely tragic.

Shang Qilang's expression became more and more uncomfortable, and after hearing Mrs. Gu's words, his sister-in-law Liu felt that it was not the time to break up completely, so she continued to speak.

"Seventh brother, my sister-in-law knows that you have treated us sincerely, but what happened a generation ago has destined you to be different from us, so let's let go of your obsession. Nowadays, it is rare for someone like you to pursue an official career in the Duke's Mansion. , naturally you have to focus on your future and stop worrying about the past."

Shang Qilang didn't know how deeply he felt after hearing these words. Although his expression was no longer as indignant as before, he still showed an unwillingness to give up.

Sister-in-law Liu suppressed Shang Ji's desire to retaliate, and then spoke softly.

"Ping'er is still young now, so his father-in-law will naturally support the Duke's mansion. When he can pay filial piety to his elders and be friends with his brothers and sisters, then naturally this burden will fall on him, so Instead of worrying about these unchangeable things with us here, seventh brother, why not go back and have a good talk with father-in-law."

“Ping’er has always been named Shang, and he is also the grandson of his father-in-law, isn’t he?”

Sister-in-law Liu showed a lot of weakness, but she just didn't want to have another conflict at this moment.

 Shang Ji understood his sister-in-law's intentions, so he naturally suppressed his temper. Although the eighth sister Xue Niang felt a little useless, she could endure it if such a show of weakness could keep Ping'er safe.

 Shang Qilang sat there, motionless.

 In the end, I don’t know whether he figured it out or what. He just gave Shang Ji a steady look and left without saying anything more.

 After he left, Shang Ji snorted coldly and said. "If you have evil intentions, and if you go astray in the future, just watch, they will blame us."

Sister-in-law Liu and Bamei Xue Niang were a little confused by what Shang Ji said, thinking that he might be thinking too much, but the facts proved that Shang Ji had a very accurate eye for people.

 After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Shang Qilang went to Prince Fu's Mansion without stopping.

As for what Mrs. Wei and her family said in Prince Fu's Mansion, outsiders don't know.

I only know that three days later, Shang Qilang's errand was decided.

I entered Taifu Temple, and my job was to manage the money and cashier affairs with the Jin Department of the Ministry of Household.

Now it doesn't look like much, but it is the location of the money bag of Daxing Dynasty that you can really touch. And this kind of entry into the game obviously has the guidance of an expert.

It’s just that Shang Ji didn’t notice what Shang Qilang was doing.

 What he is thinking about now is his son's full moon wine.

On May 18th, there was a grand banquet at the General's Mansion, headed by the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, and other courtiers and family members also came to congratulate them.

His Majesty's imperial edict has now brought this matter to light, so at today's banquet, Shang Ji started to use the name of Gu Shaoyu.

 Some courtiers naturally cannot say anything else for a while, while others are already used to it.

 For example, the people of the Guo family naturally addressed each other as Shaoyu, which was very cordial, and the prince also changed his words without leakage.

“Shao Yu’s son was born with a bright and upright character, and he has the style of caring for the old marshal!”

His praise meant that a group of people around him were surrounding him, and they praised this little boy to the heavens and the earth.

 “His Royal Highness, you are so complimentary.”

"When we return to the Gu family and open the ancestral hall and worship our ancestors, Yun Zhan will be the Duke of the Gu family. He will have a higher official position than your father. How about it? How do you feel in your heart?"

“Heaven’s grace is so great. Shao Yu is grateful for His Majesty’s kindness to Yun Zhan and will definitely teach him how to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.”

Although it is said that Gu Yunzhan will be the father of the Gu family in the future, such a young child will naturally have to take orders from his father, so it is said that he still makes the decision behind the scenes for the entire Gu family.

Hence, no one really thinks that he has lost his Sacred Heart.

The prince nodded and then said.

"When Yun Zhan can run and jump, I will take him to the East Palace to play more with the princes. They are all happy when they heard that there is a younger brother in the general's mansion."

 The prince's words are also obvious. He is paving the way for the princes.

Shang Ji was originally the most important general in the prince's party, and it is even more so now that he has joined the Gu family. His son should have more contact with the prince's sons.

 Seeing this, Shang Ji did not refute, but nodded in agreement.

The wet nurse carried Tagore around the front hall, and naturally returned to the flower hall.

Old lady Guo had seen the child when she was taking a bath, but now she looked much older, and she was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
