Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 4 The first acquaintance

As if he didn't feel satisfied, he simply poured another glass.

It's a pity that this tea is not a hangover soup, and it won't help if you drink it.

His head was still dizzy, so he leaned on the kang under the open window.

I closed my eyes and regained my sleep.

Seeing this situation, Steward He immediately ordered in a low voice.

"Let's go, there is a young lady who will take care of you here."

Luo Yuan frowned, as if he was very worried about whether the young lady could take care of the general.

But Housekeeper He didn't allow him to delay for a moment.

Pulling his sleeves, he quickly walked outside.

With no other choice, Luo Yuan could only follow Steward He out of the house in a hurry.

And with the armor in his hand, he could only go straight to the study.

There is a special place to put the armor there, so it can't be messed up.

When Du Jingyi turned back from the side room to the main room, he frowned as soon as he entered the door.

Originally, there should be a faint fragrance of lotus in the room.

At this moment, there was a strong smell of alcohol.

It's not big, but in Du Jingyi's nose, which was spoiled and brought up, it is so pungent.

No need to think about it, she knew it must be her husband who had returned to court in victory and returned from the palace banquet.

He took the handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose.

After walking through the Suzhou embroidery screen between the main hall and the bedroom, I saw this scene.

A "strange" man just lay down on her usual favorite seat.

Looking at the tea cups on the table, they also deviated from their original positions.

But he slept soundly.

The moonlight outside shone on him through the window.

Neutralized a lot of his awe-inspiring majesty that one man is invincible.

On the contrary, there is a little more laziness and coziness that only noble sons in Suian City have.

It has to be said that her husband has indeed given birth to a good skin.

Slender phoenix eyes, a tall nose bridge, thin lips like blades, and a burly body.

Just when Du Jingyi was worrying about how to wake him up.

But Shang Ji who had closed his eyes suddenly opened them.

As soon as he opened his eyes, there was an undeniable sense of oppression in those deep eyes.

Du Jingyi has never looked directly at her husband.

After being swept away by his fierce eyes like a wolf and a tiger, he took two steps back in a little panic.

This scene happened to fall into Shang Ji's eyes.

He was also slightly surprised.

He thought that this time, Mrs. Wei probably asked him a "hard-fated" salt-free girl.

Unexpectedly, she looked like a fairy under the moon.

If outsiders look at it, I'm afraid they will be confused.

It's a pity that Shang Ji has been in the army for many years, and he is a person who does not get into the oil and salt.

So he sat up and took a few breaths, and asked with his face back to normal.

"You are Du's daughter?"

One sentence brought Du Jingyi back to reality.

What about a good skin?

He didn't seem to be asking the lady in the house, but rather a subordinate in the army.

So Du Jingyi put away her surprise and panic just now.

Gathering up her scarlet nightgown, she folded her hands in front of her stomach, bowed her knees and said.

"My concubine, Mrs. Du, has met the general."

"Ah."

After sitting up, Shang Ji stretched his muscles and bones casually, but the alcohol was still a bit over the top.

The thumb and forefinger of the left hand pinched the position of the Jingming acupoint, and then spoke.

"Leaving home three years ago was due to the military emergency. I have wronged you. I begged for a lot of jewelry and clothes in front of His Majesty, and they will be delivered tomorrow. Consider it my gift of apology."

His words were originally intended to slowly embarrass the two of them.

Who would have thought that Du Jingyi would reply without emotion without even raising an eyelid.

"My concubine thanked His Majesty and the general."

And the two servant girls behind her also saluted and said.

"The servant Cherry (Li Zhu) has met the general."

"Well, get up."

He was used to rough men in the army.

It's a little unaccustomed to hear such soft words rashly.

After coughing twice, he asked.

"Where's the study?"

"Still in the room on the right."

Hearing this, Shang Ji got up and got off the couch.

Seeing this, Cherry and Li Zhu planned to go up to wait for him to put on the boots, but Shang Ji stopped him with a wave of his hand.

He has long been accustomed to managing his own food and clothing in the army.

So there is no arrogance of a noble son at all.

There is no need for a maid to serve close by.

After putting on his boots, he spoke.

"I drank wine today, I'm afraid I'll smell you, so go to the study and sleep."

Du Jingyi's face was slightly astonished, but he didn't expect him to say that.

But after being stunned for a moment, he immediately replied decently.

"Okay, my concubine will have someone deliver the hangover soup to the study."

"Ah."

After saying this, he strode away.

But the steps have no vanity of a drunken man.

It wasn't until Du Jingyi's back disappeared into the dark place that Du Jingyi seemed to realize that he was gone.

"Young madam, why don't you leave the general in the main room?"

It was Li Zhu who spoke, and she was always a bit quick-talking.

It is also for the good of Du Jingyi that he will say such things at this moment.

After all, my young lady has been married into the Duke's Mansion for three years, and she is only a young lady in name.

Those snarky women in the outer courtyard would make jokes about it, and Li Zhu had heard it several times, both publicly and privately.

But if I stalk my neck to quarrel with others, I always fall behind.

If the general can be left to rest in the main room right now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of those women.

That's why I said that.

It's a pity that the emperor is not in a hurry but the eunuch is in a hurry.

Du Jingyi didn't have any actions or attitudes to keep her husband behind.

After he left, he said calmly.

"Take out the moonlight incense and light it to diffuse the smell in the room."

"Yes, young lady."

After smelling the familiar scent, Du Jingyi's mind sank.

I have an indescribable feeling about this husband who just met face to face.

Although the two of them are a couple in name, they will not spend more than half an hour together.

If he really stayed tonight, I still don't know how to "serve".

Do not know why.

The memory of his eyes when he just woke up is still fresh in his heart.

It's like the leader of the wolf pack staring at his prey.

Although it was only fleeting, Du Jingyi saw it.

The ferocity and urgency in his eyes.

No wonder, if you don't have some real skills, how can you win the thirteen cities of Border Pass.

Hey……

Lying on the canopy bed of red sandalwood inlaid with ivory crabapple flowers, I haven't fallen asleep for a long time.

Tomorrow, I still don't know how to face her husband who is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Tossing and turning, it wasn't until late at night that she couldn't bear it and fell asleep.

Unfortunately, early the next morning.

Du Jingyi was woken up by the deliberately loud voice of the woman outside.

Woke up frowning with some displeasure.

All the maids, mothers-in-law and servants in the Xitang Courtyard.

They are all down-to-earth and capable people who never talk too much.

It's all because Steward He and Nanny Dou are very strict.

In the three years I have been with them, there has never been such a situation of "making trouble" in the courtyard so early in the morning.
