Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 21 Gossiping

Hear her say that.

Du Jingyi and Cherry also laughed out loud.

On the contrary, the melancholy and sadness that had just been born have been diluted a lot.

The master and servant chattered about the birthday ceremony for a while.

The days passed peacefully, as before.

The next day, the sky was bright and clear.

Du Jingyi got up early in the morning, the genius was a little bright, so he called Cherry and Li Zhu to serve him.

If you're going back home today, you'll naturally have to dress festively.

Not to mention other things, the one that matches the skin tone is the most important.

It is necessary to reassure the Du family's parents that their daughter will not be wronged by marrying into the Duke's mansion.

So, I deliberately put on a pair of breasts sprinkled with vermilion florals on the white ground, and a pleated skirt.

It looks like a winter plum that is proud of the snow and frost, revealing agility.

Li Zhu also carefully adorned her with some beads on her temples, which added a lot of aura of wealth.

Looking around at the Linghua bronze mirror, Du Jingyi said after feeling good.

"Go and see if the general is up? If he is up, invite him over for breakfast."

"Yes."

It was rare for Li Zhu to hear that the Young Madam took the initiative to invite the general in, so naturally she was more excited.

Hurry out and go to the study.

Not long after, Shang Ji was invited over.

Du Jingyi was slightly taken aback when he saw that he was wearing a round-neck gown with sapphire blue satin.

It has to be said that after he was dressed like this, he couldn't tell that he was a general in his early thirties.

He looked even more like those young men with weak crowns in Suian City.

She took a step forward, followed the rules, and said to Shang Ji.

"I have met the general myself."

"Well, get up."

"Thank you, General."

"Sit down, we have eaten earlier, and we should go out earlier."

"it is good."

The two sat side by side on a rosewood Eight Immortals table outside the dormitory.

Not long after, the maids filed in and brought today's breakfast.

There are chicken shredded noodles, crystal steamed dumplings, cooking cakes, and a small bowl of jasper soup.

Among them, Jasper Soup was prepared according to Du Jingyi's preference, as for the others, just look at the portion, it was prepared for Shang Ji.

The couple didn't open their mouths when they ate, they savored carefully.

Shang Ji had to admit that the cooks in this small kitchen were getting better and better.

It is the ordinary pancakes, and the ones made here are much more delicate and delicious than those in the military camp.

So, after quickly using up three, he said to Madam Dou who was standing beside her.

"Has the cook changed? I don't remember being so good at it."

Nanny Dou smiled, and immediately looked at Du Jingyi, who was at the side, and explained.

"Now Dan Ruo is in charge of the small kitchen. She is a dowry maid brought by the young lady from her natal family. Her skills are indeed much better than those of the original cooks in our house."

When Shang Ji heard this, he said "oh".

No wonder, but it can be seen from the furnishings in the room that his wife will enjoy it.

Therefore, it is not surprising to bring this outstanding cook.

So, he raised his voice and said to Du Jingyi.

"When we go to the general's mansion, let people expand the kitchen, and find a few more open-minded cooks to follow suit. The table will look better in the future."

"Yes, I know."

Having said that, Du Jingyi still spoke ventriloquism.

Danruo's craftsmanship was acquired by following their Du family's traveling all over the world and blending the tastes of many places.

That's so easy to learn.

However, Shang Ji's reminder is reasonable.

After moving to a new house and sorting out all the affairs in the mansion, it is inevitable to invite people to eat and bring back the lively scene.

So she had to make preparations first, and find a few capable women to go with the housekeeper.

After the meal, the couple went out together.

The chariots and horses at the gate are not from the Duke’s Mansion, but the general’s chariots and horses bestowed by the emperor.

Four shiny horses stood neatly in front of the carriage, and the spacious carriage could seat seven or eight people.

Although Du Jingyi had seen some things in the world, he was still a little surprised to see this majestic and high-spirited imperial chariot and horses.

However, this surprise disappeared in a flash, and soon disappeared in her eyes.

After the couple got into the carriage and sat down, Shang Ji spoke to the outside.

"Let's go."

"Yes, General."

On both sides of the carriage and horses stood the four maids brought by Du Jingyi and Mama Cai.

Their complexions are surprisingly good.

All of them grinningly.

Behind the chariots and horses was a group of Shang Ji's personal guards, about 20 people.

The last one is the frame with the return gift, a long one, and there are twenty cars.

With such a grand occasion, they went all the way from Shang Guogong's mansion to the door of Du's house.

Many people who don't know why are watching.

There are also those who have a good memory and start whispering.

"Zuzu, if you want me to tell you, this Miss Du's family is lucky, or else this little father-in-law has been married four times, she is the only one who is so lucky to come back home!"

"Who says it's not? Now it's the Young Madam of the Duke's Mansion and the General's Wife. Looking at this kind of ostentation, why not give her face? It seems that this Young Madam is very favored!"

"Hahaha, why are you jealous? Would you like some money to send your daughter to be a good concubine in the Duke's mansion? You can't tell, but you can also get some good things."

"Bah, bah, bah, your daughter is only young."

Several people were talking gossip, and their voices were not too loud.

But Shang Ji has been in the army for so many years, so his hearing ability is naturally extraordinary.

When he heard these words, his brows twitched slightly.

Originally closing his eyes to recuperate, he opened them soon.

But seeing the calm face of the lady sitting next to her, she relaxed.

Although Mrs. Wei contributed to the reputation of his wife's restraint, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Therefore, Shang Ji is not stingy in giving her the best within his ability.

So, the carriage arrived at the door of Du's house smoothly.

When the cherry outside shouted, "Young Madam, we are home."

Then Du Jingyi woke up from a light sleep.

It has to be said that this imperial chariot is easy to sit on, without any feeling of bumps.

It was obvious that she could fall asleep even while sitting.

The No. 1 she saw when she opened her eyes was her husband, Shang Ji.

He was tall, and he still seemed a little cramped in this spacious carriage.

Perhaps it is more suitable for him to ride a horse.

Just thinking about it, I heard him say in a low voice.

"Ma'am, let me help you get out of the car."

Du Jingyi was stunned for a second, but quickly nodded and agreed.

This was the first time that the couple showed up together outside, even if they were acting, they had to let outsiders see that they were happy as husband and wife.

Therefore, Du Jingyi did not refuse.
