Step-room, she is soft and charming

Returning to the north is something Du Jingyi has been looking forward to for a long time.

Standing on the deck, she looked at the clear sky and clear clouds outside and the endless scenery. She suddenly remembered how embarrassed she was when she came. If she had known there was such a comfortable way back, she would not have suffered like this in the first place.

The Su family's ship was large and stable, and it was easy to carry them on board. In addition, the Su family's helmsman had carefully calculated the travel date, so they headed forward smoothly.

Mu Lianying naturally went with them. As for Zheng Deli, he returned to the Huben Army after he recovered from his injury. Now there are still [-] Huben troops staying in Qingshui Town. Since he brought people here, he naturally had to bring them again. go back!
There are also some more personal guards on the ship, which Gu Shaoyu specially left to escort Du Jingyi and the children. Now, for the time being, they follow Mu Lianying's orders and take over Luo Yuan's position.

The wind was blowing, but there was no chill. Everyone on the boat was eager to return home, wishing they could stand in Sui'an City in the next moment.

After walking for more than ten days from south to north, they finally began to see the outline of Sui'an City.

Along the way, except for the Countess, who was a little uncomfortable with this boat trip and took some tranquilizers to resist the discomfort, everyone else was fine.

Especially the four children, I don’t know if they like the water or what, they have no reaction to walking on the boat for so many days, and they are happy to run around on the deck every day without feeling dizzy.

Brother Tai, in particular, was always asking for the helmsman's cabin to play with. The helmsmen did not dare to offend the little Mr. Gu easily, so they told him many interesting things about the sea.

Brother Tai listened with great interest and regarded the cabin as a good place to listen to stories. Therefore, I don’t know anything else, but he had a lot of stories in his head before he was about to get off the ship, and he kept clamoring to tell his brother What they said.

"Madam, we can reach the shore in three quarters of an hour."

"Well, hard work."

Du Jingyi said to the helmsman of the Su family who came to report that the safety of this journey indeed relied on their rich experience, so they could afford the hard work.

As the city outline became clearer and clearer, Du Jingyi felt a lot more excited.

It had been two or three months since she had been separated from her husband, and it had been an even longer time since she had been separated from her parents. At this moment, even if the wind from Sui'an City blew hard on her face, she felt it was a sweet and refreshing feeling.

All in all, everything is fine just going home!
When Mrs. Li, the assistant minister's wife, came out, she saw Du Jingyi standing on the deck, so she smiled and walked over.

"Mrs. Gu."

"Mrs. Chamberlain."

"Auntie, are you feeling better?"

"It's much better. She probably knows that she's almost home, so she's in better spirits than before. Now the fourth brother is accompanying her and telling jokes, so I came out to see how long it will take."

Then Du Jingyi pointed in the direction and said with some excitement.

"It's almost there. We'll be there in three or two quarters of an hour. After we land, I'll send someone to take you back first."

"No need, can we still find the way home? But Mrs. Gu has been away for two or three years. I'm afraid there are many people missing her in the city, so we won't disturb her and will leave it at home another day. Please give Mrs. Gu a chance to show your appreciation for the banquet."

"You're welcome, madam. I will definitely be there!"

Then, he also asked expectantly.

"I just don't know what I said to the Vice Minister's wife before..." Mrs. Li glanced at Du Jingyi and naturally understood what she was planning. Her family members were both civilized and military, and their status in the court was also well-known, so A daughter of the Li family has a chance of being matched with any family.

However, after looking at her these days, she felt that her sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, was kind-hearted. Although the child Shang Zhiping was not very talented, he was still proficient in civil and military skills compared to those children from the dandy family.

The most important thing is that she married the Duke's wife who was in charge of the family, so it was an excellent choice for the Li family to have such a marriage, so she took Du Jingyi's hand, patted it and said.

"Understood, my two nieces from my mother's side are of the right age now, but one is more delicate and the other is calmer. When the banquet is held at the Earl's Mansion, my sister-in-law will naturally bring some for the banquet. At that time, I will be with you. Nephews and nephews look at each other, if they can see each other, it will be their own blessing."

Mrs. Li has quite a position in the Li family, so she was so confident that Du Jingyi felt relieved.

Although she was talking about her two nieces, Du Jingyi already had someone in her heart, but after all, it was Ping'er's life's happiness, so she still let them see it first before talking.

Anyway, considering my age, I'm not in a hurry.

While talking and laughing, the ship got closer to the dock.

When he was about to arrive, Du Jingyi saw the figures he had longed for at a glance.

Gu Shaoyu stood on the bank, wearing an azure brocade robe that made him very energetic. He must have been hiding for the whole winter, so he looked much fairer, although it was not comparable to Du Jingyi's tender and delicate look. , but he still looks a bit like a noble man.

Standing next to him were the Du family and his wife who were looking around, as well as Guo Silang and Xue Niang, followed by a group of servants. When Du Jingyi saw them, he naturally wanted to wave.

For this reason, Mr. Du was most excited.

"It's Tangtang! It's Tangtang! They are finally here, here."

His words also successfully attracted the attention of others, and everyone was busy waving. Among them, Xue Niang was the one they hadn't seen for many years. She not only missed Du Jingyi, but also her sister-in-law Heping'er, facing everyone on the boat. , I couldn’t help but stand on tiptoes and wave.

Unexpectedly, he was stabilized by Guo Silang next to him, and said with a worried look on his face.

"Be careful, you are already a mother, why are you so impatient? You are hurting your body."

Only now did Xue Niang remember that she was seven months pregnant.

She is different from Gu Shaoyu. Gu Shaoyu adopted the surname Gu, so when Mrs. Gu passed away, it was his grandmother who passed away. Naturally, he had to observe mourning for one year. However, Xue Niang is still surnamed Shang, so it only takes three years to observe mourning for his grandmother. The month is.

Therefore, even if the child was pregnant, no one dared to say anything.

However, she was wearing a cloak today, so she couldn't see anything under the cover, Mrs. Du said comfortingly.

"It doesn't matter. Pregnant people can go out for a walk to relax. Seven-month-old babies will be fine."

Guo Silang became a father for the first time, so he was naturally careful and cautious, so after listening to Mrs. Du's words, he knew it was correct, but he still couldn't help but worry in his heart.

Seeing this, Mrs. Du also smiled and joked. (End of chapter)
