Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 17

Now, he's back.

If a room full of women, children and children were to be bullied, he would be useless as an uncle and brother.

Thinking of this, a trace of scarlet blood appeared in the corner of his eyes.

For so many years in the barracks, he didn't learn any conspiracy.

Aren't they shouting every day that Gu's family is taboo?

Then he will give them a good show.

We must let the world see what a poisonous woman from a widowed family is!

Xue Niang cried so sadly, Shang Ji didn't know how to comfort her.

He had no choice but to pat her on the shoulder, and assured her in a firm tone.

"It won't happen in the future, Brother Six will decide for you!"

Then he scanned her room up and down.

It is incomparable with the decoration of the main room of Xitang Courtyard, but there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just smaller.

So he opened his mouth and said.

"In a few days, let your sixth sister-in-law take you to the general's mansion to have a look. If there is a yard you like, if not, sixth brother will build a piece for you."

The arrogant tone made Xueniang a little stunned on the spot.

But on second thought, the reward of ten thousand taels of gold.

It is used to repair the house, but I don't know how to be luxurious.

But she kept her sister-in-law Liu's teachings in mind, and immediately shook her head.

"Sixth brother, you just came back, don't be too ostentatious, or you will let the people from the yard next door pester you, and you will not even be able to live a peaceful life in the future."

"Hmph, are they worthy?"

The whole country's mansion is like a bed bug nest.

If it wasn't for his father, Shang Guogong, he still cared so much, he wouldn't even be willing to come back.

The reason why I still live in Dongyuan.

It's just to arrange for the people he cares about to move away.

But these, he didn't plan to talk to Xueniang.

So he said calmly.

"In some days, you will have to wait until your mother is away. The sixth brother will let your grandmother, sister-in-law and your sixth sister-in-law have a good time for you. We will never let outsiders look down on our eighth miss."

When he said this, his tone was determined and unquestionable.

Although Xueniang was worried.

One can imagine and feel that Sixth Brother is almost in his thirties now.

And fighting outside for so long.

Since he is so willing, it's better not to spoil his temper.

As for whether the ceremony is grand or not, she doesn't care.

The most important thing is that the family can live in peace and stability, that's all.

So, he nodded and said nothing else.

The experience of Hanyiyuan's departure made Shang Ji's mood drop to the bottom.

Along the way, when walking back.

He recalled many scenes when his mother and eldest brother were still alive.

At that time, their family was very happy.

Unfortunately, everything ended ten years ago.

Thinking of this, the steps under his feet became more and more steady.

As for the third and fifth householders in Beiyuan, they don't know that they are about to face a catastrophe.

He is still in the courtyard at the moment, cursing a lot.

In Xitang courtyard.

The sun was up.

After a long morning, it's time for lunch.

If it was in the past, Du Jingyi would not treat herself badly.

What time to eat and what time to sleep have always been very strict.

But now it is different, there is an extra general in the yard.

Even if she was hungry, she still had to wait for the husband of the great general to come back to have a meal together.

So, just as Shang Ji came back, he was about to go to the study, but he was met by Nanny Dou on the way.

She was about fifty years old, and she was a well-organized person.

She used to be Mrs. Gu's capable nanny in charge.

Since Mrs. Gu left, she has stayed in this courtyard and never left.

Up to the service of several masters, down to the discipline of the servants, never leave the hands of others.

Therefore, a few years have passed, except that there are more gray hairs on the sideburns.

The spirit of the whole person is still as sharp as before.

When Shang Ji saw her, his emotions had almost calmed down.

So he opened his mouth and asked.

"Auntie Dou, what's the matter?"

Aunt Dou smiled and replied politely.

"General, the young lady is still waiting for you in the main room, and it's time for lunch."

Hearing her mention it, Shang Ji remembered.

He is a person who marches and fights, and he has never had anything to eat.

But Du Shi is a woman raised in a deep boudoir, which is different from him.

Immediately nodded and said.

"Is the kitchen ready?"

"It's already ready."

"Then pass the meal on."

"Yes."

He took a few steps forward, then paused and said.

"Don't worry about me in the future, as long as it's time to eat, you can let Madam use it. I will find something to eat when I am hungry."

Aunt Dou was taken aback when she heard the words, and then smiled more kindly.

It's great to see my general feel sorry for others.

So, she answered loudly.

"Yes."

Du Jingyi sat in the room and ate two pieces of pastries to satisfy his hunger.

She got up late in the morning, and rushed to serve tea to the Duke, so naturally she didn't have breakfast.

After so much fuss, my stomach is so empty.

Obviously she was only there to serve a bowl of sugar water, but when she came back, her husband disappeared.

And the debris in the house was also swept away.

In desperation, she planned to use the pear water herself, but was stopped by Li Zhu.

Opening her mouth, she said that she should not drink pear juice on an empty stomach, and also took out two pastries that she usually likes to eat.

Du Jingyi was so happy that he completely forgot about lunch.

I ate all the pastries and used half a bowl of pear water.

So, Shang Ji over there thought that his wife was hungry.

Therefore, the pace is much faster.

Du Jingyi, on the other hand, has no gluttons in her stomach at the moment, and is happy to read idle books for fun.

As soon as Shang Ji entered, he saw her like this.

I thought I was very hungry, so I used reading to divert my attention.

Said with a slight frown.

"You don't have to wait for me in the future, if you are hungry, pass on the meal."

Du Jingyi was slightly stunned, never expecting this majestic general to come up with such a sentence.

But soon, she came over in a daze, and out of courtesy, she shirked.

"The general is at home, so I should have dinner with you."

As a result, as soon as the words fell, Shang Ji waved his hand.

Said again bluntly.

"I was born in the army, so there are not so many rules, so there is no need to be formal."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi was not polite anymore.

He replied with a smile.

"The concubine's natal family is a merchant, and there are not so many rules. I was afraid that the rules of the Duke's family would be strict, and I specially asked the etiquette mother to learn for a while, because I was afraid that it would make people laugh."

Hearing this, Shang Ji understood a lot.

He is outside, and his achievements are great.

Rules or something, you can put it aside.

But the women in the back house seem to use this as the standard for judging people, so they should pay attention to every word and deed.

After thinking about it, he said to Nanny Dou.

"In two days, go to Gu's house and invite Qin's mother over to give advice to the young lady."
