Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 51

After the meal, Du Jingyi originally planned to make some tea to digest the food.

As a result, it happened that Lu Ju came to report the incident.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Shang Ji was there, so she saluted respectfully.

"The servant has seen the general and the young lady."

"Get up, but something is wrong?"

Lu Ju's temperament is the most boring among the dowry maids, so she will not appear in the main room easily.

He likes to spend most of his time in the room studying embroidery patterns, so for her sudden appearance, Du Jingyi knew that there must be something wrong.

Lu Ju nodded and said in a calm tone.

"Mrs. Hui, the general's clothes that I sent to the servant before only had an outer shirt, but no inner clothes and shoes and socks, so the servant made a special trip to ask if there are any commonly used ones, so that the servant can use them for comparison. , it won’t take long, and it will be delivered this evening.”

What she said was true.

The clothes she makes are always fit and comfortable, and naturally it has a lot to do with size.

But Du Jingyi didn't have what she needed, so he could only look sideways at Shang Ji who was beside him.

Then he explained.

"The general's things in the study, I have already asked them to bring them over, but the regular clothes are a little short, so I sent them to Luju to make more. If the general is fine, can you ask Luju to measure the size , the clothes and shoes made in this way are also comfortable to wear.”

Shang Ji naturally understood her kindness.

So with a "hmm", she got up and spread her hands, allowing Lu Ju to measure up and down.

During the period, carefully write down the size.

After wasting the time for a cup of tea like this, I saw someone coming outside again.

Butler He's voice rang out in the yard.

"General, Young Madam, the carriages and horses are ready, but you want to set off now to visit the General's Mansion?"

Shang Ji glanced at Du Jingyi and saw her nodding.

Then the couple went out the door of the main house.

The sun was slightly dazzling, Du Jingyi raised his hand to cover it slightly.

Shang Ji saw it, and ordered to the maid next to him.

"Give the young lady an umbrella."

"Yes, General."

Du Jingyi didn't expect that her husband would care about her so much.

But after thinking about it, he let go.

After all, it took only a while for him to enter the main room to see what he liked, so Du Jingyi was not surprised by this matter.

So he smiled and said softly.

"My concubine thanked the general."

"Let's go, let's go and have a look first."

"it is good."

After speaking, the couple walked out side by side.

And the servant girl Cherry also followed Du Jingyi's side, holding an umbrella step by step, so as not to let Du Jingyi be pierced by the bright sunlight.

The chariots and horses parked at the gate today were gifted by His Majesty.

So the scene is big enough.

The location of the General's Mansion is about one stick of incense away from the Duke's Mansion.

Because Du Jingyi had slept in the cage, he was in good spirits at the moment.

Listening to the lively street yelling outside, I thought of many things in the past.

When she was still at home, it was a freedom for her to go in and out.

On weekdays, her parents would never criticize her or ask her to become a lady of the big family who doesn't leave her home.

Instead, she was given the greatest ease when she learned etiquette thoroughly.

Even when dealing with those businesses at home, she would not shy away from being an unmarried daughter, and would often take her to deal with those shopkeepers.

That's why she has cultivated her self-consistent and self-satisfied attitude.

He will not promise, and never entrust his own glory or disgrace to others.

Reminiscing about the past, the carriage barely stopped after a short while.

Shang Ji, who had been resting with his eyes closed before, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Du Jingyi.

She was not prepared in advance, so when she felt such a sudden look in her eyes, she was still a little frightened.

But the mood was well cleaned up, and he said with a smile.

"General, here we are."

"Well, get out of the car."

The conversation between the couple was a little bit alienated, but it was better than before.

After all, it has only been a few days since the two of them met, so it is already very good to have such a harmonious coexistence like today.

After helping Du Jingyi out of the carriage, she looked up and saw the plaque of the General's Mansion.

The pen is powerful and dignified.

There are mighty and unyielding big stone lions squatting on both sides of the door, and the vermilion door is also quietly opened.

Seeing this, Steward He and Nanny Dou who came with them all looked excited.

In the past, they also followed Mrs. Gu's family in and out of the Gu family's mansion, so when they saw the general's mansion, they brought back a lot of past events in their hearts.

It is natural to be more excited.

And the maids Cherry and Li Zhu, who were following behind Du Jingyi, sighed softly.

"Really stylish."

Du Jingyi smiled. In fact, it's not just her maid, she thinks so too.

Some things are not something you can get and possess with how much wealth you have.

In the Du family's house, it is possible to move the gardens of the south of the Yangtze River in an extremely elegant way, but it is impossible to have the momentum of entering the general's mansion.

"Come on, go in and have a look."

Shang Ji didn't see much disturbance in his eyes, and just said that to Du Jingyi and the others.

Everyone nodded one after another, and they entered the General's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, Du Jingyi was overwhelmed by the majestic one-character screen wall.

Not to mention, the four big characters of "Bold and Loyalty" can be seen from the first sight, which matches Shang Ji's current status.

Taking a closer look at the inscription, it turned out to be His Majesty today.

It has to be said that few civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty can afford this honor.

Repressing the surprise in her heart, Du Jingyi followed Shang Ji and continued to walk forward.

Comparing the General's Mansion with the Duke of Shang's, there is really no similarity at all.

The shape of the four entrance courtyards has two cross courtyards on the left and right.

The front is the main hall, and the back is the inner house.

At this moment, the middle door is closed, but the side doors on both sides are opened.

Du Jingyi knew that usually the middle door would only be opened after meeting important people, so he didn't think much about it.

Following Shang Ji's footsteps, he entered the main courtyard from the side.

To the north is the hall, which is five rooms wide and very grand.

The yard is also sprinkled and swept, so it is extraordinarily clean.

Green pines and green cypresses are planted side by side, full of vitality and not showing signs of decline.

Walking all the way, it seems that there are people standing guard, which makes people even stiffen their backs.

Searching for the hall corridor, he went all the way to the inner house.

Here is even more unique.

It is a spacious and bright house, a courtyard with both mountains and rivers, and three wing rooms on the left and right, and a very delicate small garden is built on the southeast side of the main hall.

Although compared with the Du family's, it is somewhat insignificant.

But Du Jingyi was very surprised to have such a scene here.
