Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 22

Du Jingyi's hands were slender and white, and when they were placed in Shang Ji's broad and thick palms, they looked extraordinarily soft and charming.

Du Jingyi's face blushed slightly when he accidentally touched the thick callus in his hand.

It has been 18 years since I was born, and I have never felt this way.

I can't say exactly what it is, but it just feels weird.

Shang Ji's face was calm, and there was more calm in his eyes.

After getting off the carriage and the station was fixed, Du Jingyi hadn't had time to react to the next step.

He saw his father and mother, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, standing at the door of Du's house.

All of a sudden, Du Jingyi's nose became sour.

Withdrawing the hand that had just been placed in Shang Ji's palm, he immediately ran over with his skirt up, as if he was about to kneel in front of the elders of the Du family.

The eye sockets turned rosy all of a sudden, and even the voice of speaking was a little crying.

"My daughter is unfilial, she hasn't returned home for a long time, please forgive me, father and mother."

When the Du family saw their daughter, they forgot about the rules and decency.

Hurry up and go to help her up.

The eyes of the two elders are also a little moist, but it's just that it's hard to cry because they are still at the door of the house.

After taking a few breaths, I suppressed the joy and longing for reunion after a long absence.

Especially Master Du, who loved his daughter like his own life.

The eldest daughter married far away but did not return. Although the youngest daughter married recently, she seldom see each other because of the many rules in the Duke's mansion.

In this way, there are him and his wife in the huge Du mansion.

It was really empty.

When he saw Du Jingyi at this moment, he called out.

"Tangtang, it's good to be back, it's good to be back."

"Daddy..."

Tangtang, could it be the Tangtang of the Begonia flower?
It's no wonder that she likes Haitang so much, it turns out there is such a source.

Shang Ji who was standing by the side thought so.

The father and daughter were busy expressing their longing, but Mrs. Du saw Shang Ji who was coming along with her.

After wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with a veil, he smiled decently.

Said to Shang Ji who was standing like a pine.

"I made the young man laugh, hurry up, please come to the room."

Du's family are all merchants, and they are incomparable with the powerful young master of the Duke's Mansion.

If it was on a formal occasion, when the couple saw their daughter and son-in-law's family, they would have to bow and bow down.

But today, I have fulfilled the etiquette for returning home three years ago, so I can just treat him with family courtesy.

When Shang Ji saw Mrs. Du's invitation, he didn't accept Qiao.

He clasped his fists and said in a low voice.

"Thank you father-in-law, mother-in-law, please."

The whole family wiped away their tears, grinning and grinning, and finally entered the Du residence.

After stepping here and taking a look around, Shang Ji finally understood why the back garden of Xitang Courtyard was so well-maintained.

Looking around, this Du residence is not like an ordinary merchant's portal.

On the contrary, there are many garden furnishings with Jiangnan charm.

The heights of the pavilions and pavilions vary, and the winding corridors change with each step.

Before entering the main hall of the main courtyard, there is a bright pool in the middle, and many imposing rockery yellowstones are built inside.

The water in the pool is meandering and flowing, full of vitality.

Looking around, there are both towering ancient trees and floating fragrance.

The Minse Courtyard where the Du family and his wife lived was surrounded by mountains and rivers.

All the way through the hall, around the corridor.

When a few people walked to the main house of Minse Courtyard, the main house of the Chasing Heart Hall, the servants from top to bottom stood in the courtyard in an orderly manner, waiting to salute.

After seeing the host and guests enter the door, they all salute and say hello.

"The little (servant) has met the second girl and the second uncle."

Since he entered the Du family, he naturally followed the rules of the Du family.

Shang Ji didn't care much about these names, so when he heard the second son-in-law called by the servants of the Du family, he smiled slightly.

Mrs. Du next to her had blazing eyes, and she could see this detail at a glance.

My heart has also settled down a lot.

When they first married their daughters, they were both helpless and desperate.

Originally thought, maybe it was a turn of events.

Unexpectedly, due to unexpected events, this uncle went to help Cezhou on the night of the marriage, and he left for three years.

The good girl kept her boudoir empty for three years for no reason.

No matter which family's parents it is, it is also distressing.

It's not that they didn't think about it, the Shangguo government went to solve the marriage.

But with no source and no fault, the opening is always three points short.

It is not worth the loss if the outsiders still take this opportunity to ruin their daughter's reputation at will.

Therefore, it was delayed until now.

Fortunately, the uncle came back safely, she watched from the dark, and she still cared about her daughter.

The big stone in Mrs. Du's heart finally fell to the ground.

He raised a more enthusiastic smile than before and said.

"A few months ago, I heard that my uncle had won the battle and was preparing to return to the court. I was thinking about when we would have time to go to congratulate him. I never thought about it, but you sent a message saying that you are going back. This No, the house has been cleaned up and down, even today's dishes are prepared by the chef specially found from Jinling City, my uncle will try it later, see if you like it or not?"

As for this Mrs. Du, she grew up with her father walking around the streets doing hawking business since she was a child.

Later, she married Master Du, and did not live the life of a husband and a child.

Instead, she accompanied her husband through the changing dynasties and won one business after another.

Only then did the Du family's business become more and more prosperous.

Therefore, the entire Du family can say that they have 1 respects for their wife.

Of course, Master Du himself was also included.

Otherwise, she would not bear the reputation of having no sons and no heirs, neither taking concubines nor inheriting.

Instead, he raised his two daughters with love and affection like pearls and treasures.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi didn't speak yet, but Shang Ji answered first.

"Mother-in-law is polite, my grandfather's family is also from Jinling City, so I also like the dishes in Jinling City."

His words made the Du family and his wife take a breath.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Master Du smiled until his eyes were narrowed, and his chubby body was very rich.

Especially with a pair of big dangling earrings like a Buddha, it looks like a blessed person!
The Gu family is different from the Shang family.

They are a famous and promising family in Jinling City, and their descendants are prosperous, and all of them are capable of writing and martial arts.

Back then, Emperor Kaizong of Daxing was able to successfully overthrow the old dynasty, even though his brothers who started the uprising gave up their lives to escort him.

But the full support of famous families like the Gu family in Jinling City is also indispensable.

Even the in-law relationship between the Shang and Gu families was determined after Mrs. Shang saved Marshal Gu.

Otherwise, with the background and status of a businessman, it would be a fantasy for Shang Yukuan to want to be related to Mrs. Gu.
