Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 161 Wind and Snow Return (Supplements 1 and 2)

(1)

"Okay, I won't be shy when the time comes, I really have to come to ask for a drink."

Madam Xing made a joke, and everyone laughed.

In the warm house, there is peace.

It was probably because Shang Ji was eager to return home, so after ordering everything, he brought Luo Yuan and his personal guards all the way back through the wind and snow.

It was not evening yet, and people had already arrived at the door.

It is now the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are not many days left before the New Year.

The entire General's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere because of welcoming distant relatives and holding banquets.

The post has been prepared, and Du Jingyi is sorting out the list, and it will be sent out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

And when Shang Ji came back from the snow, what he saw was her checking one by one under the open window of the conservatory, quiet and focused.

He couldn't help but stop, but Luo Yuan behind him couldn't stand still and rushed to the front.

Then he turned his head and looked at his general with some doubts.

"The general won't go in?"

Their hands are numb from the cold, isn't it just to come back earlier?

Why don't people go in when they arrive?

Luo Yuan really didn't understand at all!
I don't know if it was a tacit understanding, Du Jingyi suddenly felt strange, looked up and looked outside, and then said to Cherry who was checking with her beside her.

"Go outside and have a look, is it because my aunt and the others forgot something and folded it back?"

"Okay, young lady."

Unexpectedly, when Cherry opened the curtain, she saw the general whose hair and eyebrows were covered with snow, and immediately said in surprise.

"Young lady, the general is back."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi immediately put down the pen in his hand, got up and walked over.

There is a world of difference between the outside of the curtain and the inside of the house.

Therefore, even standing at the door, the cold wind is still blowing inside.

When the couple looked at each other, Shang Ji walked in with big strides.

Once you enter the door, you will be greeted with a chill.

Du Jingyi wasn't dressed too thickly in the warm room, so she couldn't help shivering.

Seeing this, Shang Ji didn't go inside, but stood at the door and said.

"I'm going to change and wash first, and come back later."

"it is good."

Du Jingyi smiled, with anticipation and joy in his eyes.

Luo Yuan glanced at his general, and followed suit.

"Then my subordinates also go to wash, and take a look at how the brothers live in the Xikuan courtyard by the way?"

After saying goodbye, I really didn't remember anything when I left.

Cherry didn't look at it much, and said as he lowered the curtain.

"Young Madam, go in quickly, it's very cold at the door."

"Ah."

The side room of the conservatory is a place where you can wash your hands, and it was also built by Butler He according to Shang Ji's request.

Therefore, there is no need for anyone to serve.

As long as there is enough water, people can go into the bath to soak in the bubbles, which is very comfortable.

A cabinet without a door was purposely built near the pool, inside which were stored Du Jingyi's favorite aunt Xiangzi and various skin care gels.

They are all specially formulated so that they will not damage her pregnant body.

But Shang Ji took a look around, took out the soap that he used on weekdays from the cabinet, and washed it from head to toe.

The heat rises, and the hair is soaked.

After feeling the chill on his body and leaving little by little, Shang Ji's body covered in wind and snow was swept away.

In the following days, he can spend time with his family.

When I think of my wife and children by my side, and my grandmother's family is coming soon, I can't help but feel happy.

So, he took a deep breath and sank into the pool to hold his breath for a while, then got up from the bath.

I put on my usual clothes, and then went to the greenhouse.

He always washes up very fast, so Du Jingyi didn't have to wait long before seeing him walk in with steam bubbling from his body, as if he had come out of a steamer.

"Why did you come out without drying your hair, General?"

There was a list that had just been sorted out on the table, and Shang Ji saw it when he walked over.

Before Du Jingyi could answer, he asked.

"Is the date set?"

"Well, it will be on the nineteenth day."

After all, Du Jingyi gave the list to the past.

Then took the handkerchief in his hand, and wiped the water on his hair bit by bit.

The room was very warm, and Shang Ji had just washed up, so his whole body was hot.

Therefore, even if Du Jingyi wiped his hair, he wouldn't be so cold.

But the water on the hair still dripped a little, so Shang Ji felt distressed, took her hand and sat down and said.

"Don't bother, I'll come, you just read the list to me."

Then he took the handkerchief back from her hand, and began to rub his hair if he was a little rude, not at all as gentle as Du Jingyi was just now.

Du Jingyi had no choice but to let him go, and then talked about the people on the list one by one.

Should I say it or not, I have invited all the famous people in Sui'an City, so it is not biased.

After Shang Ji finished listening, he only said a few words.

"Well, you can put the other one aside, remember to send the post from Donggong first."

"East Palace?"

Although Du Jingyi had met Empress Guo and hosted a banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion this time, she did not list the royal family members.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome for people to know that they have the intention to cling to the royal family.

But Du Jingyi looked at Shang Ji's calm expression, and then confirmed it repeatedly.

"The general only sends posts to the East Palace, or other palaces as well?"

Shang Ji paused for a moment before speaking.

"Send the post from the East Palace first, and then send a copy to the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Others include Prince Fu's Mansion, Prince Fing's Mansion, Prince Min's Mansion, Prince De's Mansion, and Princess Yuehua's Mansion. Don't miss out. Please invite them together. that is."

Du Jingyi looked at the battle of her husband's banquet, and what she knew was a housewarming banquet, but what she didn't know thought it was some kind of imperial banquet.

The royal relatives, dignitaries and courtiers, none of them were spared.

However, this general's mansion is large and luxurious, even if three or four hundred people come to greet it.

It's just that Du Jingyi felt that this situation was a bit too big. She was young, so she might not be able to cover it.

Before she revealed what she was thinking, Shang Ji explained.

"Grandmother's return to Beijing is more important than the joy of housewarming. I just want to let all the nobles in the city know that the current peace and prosperity are preserved by the blood of the Gu family, so don't even think about stepping on the lintel of the Gu family. Climb up!"

When he said this, there was an inexplicable coldness in his eyes.

Du Jingyi didn't know if he had heard some news that was not good for Gu's family recently, that's why he made such an arrangement.

He was silent and didn't say much.

After a while, seeing that her husband's eyes were particularly firm, Du Jingyi said with a smile.

"Okay, listen to the general. From tomorrow onwards, the concubine will send out the posts. When grandma comes, no matter how big the place is, it will be able to hold it down."

Hearing these words, Shang Ji let go of the hostility on his body, and also smiled.

Although the two didn't talk much, they understood each other's thoughts.

A room is quiet, two hearts depend on each other.

Strange to say, it has been snowing heavily for many days, but on the day when Xing Zhao and his party entered Suian City, it began to clear up.

The sunny day in winter is still cold.

But it is much better than the wind and snow.

The city is also a little more lively than before, whether it is business or leisure, they are rushing to the end of the year and come out for activities.

Ten miles away from the outskirts of the city, Shang Ji brought his personal guards and family members to meet him.

He was riding on a tall horse, and today he was wearing a black fox brocade fur, which made him look noble and heroic without losing the appearance of a general.

Behind him is the luxurious and spacious carriage.

Even though Du Jingyi and four other people were seated inside, it was not crowded.

Mrs. Xing raised the curtain and looked at the distance with anticipation, still muttering.

"Why haven't you seen anyone yet? Logically speaking, shouldn't it be here long ago?"

When they set off, they received news that they would arrive at Suian City in only twenty miles away, so they rushed out in a hurry.

In order to meet him sooner, I deliberately walked ten miles forward, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of anyone.

The elder sister-in-law Liu Shi and the eighth younger sister Xue Niang also dressed up carefully today.

It's just that I was excited to go first, but I became a little anxious, worrying whether something happened on the road and I was delayed.

Of the people sitting in the carriage, only Du Jingyi looked calmer.

But that's also on the surface, the tension in her heart at this moment is no less than the day when she went to meet the queen, but it's not easy to show it.

In the end, it was Xue Niang who had sharp eyes and saw the team gradually appearing not far away through the curtain, and immediately shouted in surprise.

"Here they come, they come."

With this call, even the horse, which had been obediently stopped, twisted slightly, but was quickly stopped by the driver.

"Go, go, go down and wait."

Mrs. Xing's excitement was beyond words, but suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she confessed.

"Liu Lang's daughter-in-law, please sit down first, and come down later, so as not to get cold."

Hearing what she said, sister-in-law Liu and Xueniang also meant the same thing, but Du Jingyi smiled and shook her head.

"The snow has stopped, it's okay, don't worry, auntie."

After speaking, he stood up and got out of the carriage with everyone.

Seeing them coming down, Shang Ji naturally got off his horse and went to the chariot and horses to give Du Jingyi a hand.

He also slightly closed the cloak on her body, and then said.

"Is it cold?"

"Don't worry, general, I'm not cold."

Her cloak today is made of white fox fur, and she wears a sky-blue embroidered silver-and-white flower-blossom skirt underneath, which is quite elegant.

Standing with Shang Ji, they are really talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.

Anyone who reads it will say the last thing, right!

With Du Jingyi's affirmative answer, Shang Ji nodded, withdrew his caring eyes, and then looked into the distance.

The excitement in his eyes was about to overflow, this was the first time Du Jingyi saw her husband like this.

I became more and more curious about the relatives of the Gu family.

Slowly, the team that was still a little blurry gradually became clear.

Xing Zhao led the way alone on horseback, and Shang Zhiping was standing behind him a step behind.

And behind it were two chariots and horses, which looked quite heavy.

Then there are more than a dozen cars of luggage and cages.

Although it is not considered grand and mighty, ordinary people will know that it must be the family members of the honorable family when they see it, and they dare not provoke it easily.

So it went smoothly all the way.

When Mrs. Xing saw her son return, a calm smile appeared on her face.

On the other hand, the sister-in-law Liu's jaw was half stunned, she pointed in the direction of her son Shang Zhiping, and stammered.

"Is that Ping'er?"

Xueniang saw her sister-in-law's excitement, and immediately responded while holding her flustered hand.

"It's Ping'er, it's Ping'er, he went out with Cousin Zhao, and he even learned how to ride a horse? That's amazing!"

Hearing this affirmative answer, the sister-in-law couldn't help but her eyes became sore all of a sudden, and she quickly wiped away the tears that were about to burst out with a handkerchief.

Because at this moment, she seemed to see that the husband who came to meet her on a tall horse back then had the same youthful spirit and the same high ambition.

With the sound of horseshoes, the ruts made traces.

In the snow, they appeared like this.

Xing Zhao originally thought that he would only be able to see it at the gate of the city, but unexpectedly, he saw people waiting. I have to say that all the fatigue from this trip disappeared at once, and he shouted happily to the chariots and horses behind him. With a sound.

"Grandma, here we are."

Hearing his voice, a delicate daughter's voice came from inside, and asked Xing Zhao.

"Cousin Zhao, is Cousin Shaoyu here too?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Xing Zhao couldn't help chuckling.

"Come here, not only he is here, but your cousin, cousin, and my mother are all here and waiting."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the curtain on the chariot and horses was slightly lifted, and the one who lifted the curtain was the daughter's house who had just uttered the sound.

Behind a pair of delicate and soft hands, there is a shimmering, slightly curious face.

Sure enough, the front was full of people.

But Gu Xiaolang still saw Shang Ji standing out of the crowd at a glance, his eyes were full of anticipation and longing.

The last time the two met was five years ago.

At that time, she was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, but now she has grown into a slim young girl.

And because she is the only one in the Gu family, she is very much favored by everyone.

Therefore, there is no shortage of innocence and bright atmosphere that should be there.

Mrs. Gu sat still with her eyes closed, not noticing her granddaughter's movements, but Mother Qin, who was serving at the side, frowned slightly when she saw this scene.

When I opened my mouth, I said a word of reminder.

"Miss Nine, carefully freeze your hands."

After hearing this sentence, Gu Xiaolang put down the curtain and said apologetically.

"I haven't been back to Suian City for many years, so I'm more happy. Mother Qin, don't be angry, it's me who broke the rules."

When she said this, she looked gentle and courteous, showing the noble air of a lady from a famous family.

And Mrs. Gu, who was still closing her eyes just now, opened her eyes when she heard this sentence, and said with a slight sigh.

"It's been ten years, and we haven't been back to Suian City for ten years."
