Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 5

So Du Jingyi got up on his own, put on his outer clothes and sat down on the bed, then raised his voice and said.

"Who is making noise outside?"

Hearing movement in the inner room, the originally noisy outside suddenly became quiet.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the door being pushed open, and then a group of people filed in.

The leaders are naturally Cherry and Lizhu.

Both of them looked a little ugly, but they endured it.

Then followed by a sharp-faced lady in green brocade.

Her name is Mother Jiao.

She is now the confidant and nanny next to Mrs. Wei, the Duke's step-room.

It can be said that in this huge Duke's mansion, she is the first decent one.

Mrs. Wei has been in charge of Zhongfei for many years.

He has long cultivated the temperament of talking nonsense when he sees people, and talking nonsense when he sees ghosts.

So before Cherry stepped forward to speak, she took two steps forward.

Standing in front of Du Jingyi, he said respectfully.

"Young madam, it's the old slave's fault that disturbed your dreams early in the morning, but today is the first day the general returns home, so everyone in the family is waiting in the Yunjin courtyard to see the general. I came here earlier to bother you, and please forgive me, Young Madam."

Du Jingyi glanced at her, but didn't speak immediately.

Instead, he looked at the time outside, and it was already upright.

Originally, the time to greet you on weekdays should be at the beginning of Chen.

She is almost two hours late now.

It's no wonder that the people from Yunjin Court came over and "deliberately" said something to disturb people's dreams.

It turned out that she overslept.

So it's not easy to go back.

So he raised a decent smile, and said to that mother Jiao.

"The general came back late yesterday and drank a lot of wine, so it took a long time to wait for the general to wash up, and it was my fault that I delayed today's greetings to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"What did the Young Madam say? Our Madam Wei is the most kind. I didn't intend to bother the General and the Young Madam. It's just that there are so many people waiting in the front yard, so I sent the old slave to ask."

ask?

If you really asked, it wouldn't be so noisy that it woke her up.

This Sister Jiao perfectly explained what is called "two skins of a human mouth".

Du Jingyi didn't want to entangle her too much, so he opened his mouth and said.

"It's good that Mrs. Wei doesn't blame her. After the general and I wash up, we will go to Yunjin Court immediately."

"Yes, the old slave will go back and wait."

After all, when he left, he deliberately glanced at the bed.

Although there are some traces of sleeping, but there is no sign of consummation.

It seems that this young lady, who has been in the mansion for three years, is still in perfect condition.

There was a bit of disdain in my heart, but respectful on my face.

After exiting the gate of Xitang Courtyard, Mother Jiao sneered and returned towards Yunjin Courtyard.

After being made such a fuss by her, Du Jingyi's good mood for the day was gone.

"Where's the general? Are you still resting in the study?"

Du Jingyi is not stupid, it's not her that these people rushed aggressively.

She made it clear that the person she wanted to see was her husband, the great general.

So it doesn't matter whether she goes or not, but this general must come.

Li Zhu stepped forward with warm water and handed it to Du Jingyi to relieve her dryness.

Then he said.

"General Maozheng got up and went to the martial arts training ground at the back, probably doing a few sets of punches to relieve the drunkenness."

Upright?

Looking at his drunken appearance yesterday, Du Jingyi thought he was still asleep like herself.

Unexpectedly, people are very diligent.

It seems that she, the "doing nothing" young lady, is used to being lazy.

"In that case, then send someone to speak to the general..."

Before Du Jingyi finished speaking, he heard some footsteps coming from outside.

Then I heard a low but clean voice asking.

"What do you want someone to tell me?"

I saw Shang Ji walking in with the pace of dragons and tigers.

He was dressed in a brocade robe embroidered with crow blue patterns, which complemented his slender and handsome figure.

It seems to have been washed.

The original beard stubble around the lips has been smooth, but there is a slight cyan color.

Those deep eyes looked at Du Jingyi, seeming to have doubts.

As for Du Jingyi, who had just got up, she naturally turned her face to the sky.

But there is a stream of clear water coming out of hibiscus, a beautiful color that is naturally uncarved.

But compared to last night, he seemed a little more tired from not getting enough sleep.

Seeing Shang Ji walking in, Du Jingyi didn't take Joe, and immediately got off the couch.

"My concubine has met the general. Mother Jiao, who is next to Mrs. Wei, sent a message, saying that everyone in the family is waiting to see the general. Let us go over and say hello."

heard here.

Shang Ji's face didn't have much turmoil, it was still as calm as ever.

It's just that Du Jingyi noticed that when he heard Mrs. Wei, the ink in his eyes darkened a little.

After a moment of silence, Shang Ji said.

"Since you're here to invite me, let's go over and have a look. You should wash up first."

Then he looked around, as if looking for a place to sit.

I was drunk yesterday, so I naturally lay down wherever I feel comfortable.

Now that he was sober, he discovered a problem.

He felt a little strange about this main house where he had lived since he was a child.

Three years.

Everything here has changed drastically.

The originally stone-blue tents were replaced by autumn-colored moon shadow gauze.

The yellow pear wood table that used to sit on the kang has also been replaced by a complicated and precious style of red sandalwood inlaid with crabapple flowers.

Especially for partition screens.

He remembered that he only used cloth curtains in the past, but now it has become a screen with Suzhou embroidery.

It is also finely embroidered with patterns of blooming crabapple flowers in spring.

It is worth a lot of money at first glance.

It really is the daughter of a merchant!
It seems that the Du family prepared a lot of good things for her.

Instead, he glanced at Du Jingyi calmly, and then asked.

"Do you like crabapple flowers very much?"

Du Jingyi was slightly surprised.

Sure enough, he is the general who can take back 13 cities.

He looks rough, but he is actually as careful as a hair, and observes carefully.

It's only been a long time since I entered the house, and I can see her preference.

Really great.

Du Jingyi didn't feel that this matter needed to be covered up, so he nodded.

Then the two were silent.

The scene turned cold for a while.

It was like the autumn rain that fell yesterday, which brought a bit of chills to my heart.

Cough and cough, it was Shang Ji who broke the deadlock first.

Du Jingyi thought that the general was going to talk a lot.

But he never thought that what he said out loud again was something else.

"I'll go to the study to read the military newspaper for a while, you're all right, just send someone to call."

"My concubine understands."

After Shang Ji left, Du Jingyi let out a soft breath.

I have to say that her husband's aura is really impressive.

For many years, he was used to being a general who gave orders.

Even the soft words that come out of his mouth are like a military order, which makes people have to obey.

"Get some water and wait for me to wash up."

"Yes, young lady."
