Chapter 4: First Acquaintance
As if he didn't find it enjoyable, he simply poured another glass.
It's a pity that this tea is not a decanting soup, and drinking it won't help.
His head was still groggy, so he leaned on the kang under the open window.
Closing my eyes made up for sleep.
Seeing this situation, Steward He immediately commanded in a low voice.
"Let's go, there is a young lady here who will take care of it."
Luo Yuan frowned, as if he was very worried about whether this young lady would be able to take care of the general.
But what steward didn't allow him to delay for a moment.
He pulled his sleeve and walked briskly outside.
There was no way, Luo Yuan could only follow Steward He and hurriedly exited the house.
And with the armor in his hand, he could only go straight to the study.
There is a special place for armor, so you can't mess around.
When Du Jingyi returned to the main house from the ear room, he frowned as soon as he entered the door.
Originally, there should have been a faint lotus fragrance in the house.
At the moment, there is a strong smell of wine.
It's not big, but in the pampered nose of Du Jingyi, it is pungent to the sky.
You don't have to think about it to know that it must be her victorious husband who returned to the dynasty from the palace banquet.
He took a handkerchief and covered it around his mouth and nose.
After walking through the Suzhou embroidery screen between the main hall and the dormitory, I saw this scene.
A "strange" man lay unceremoniously in her usual favorite seat.
Looking at the teacups on the table, they have also deviated from their original positions.
And he slept soundly.
The moonlight outside shone on him through the window.
neutralized a lot of his invincible majesty.
On the contrary, it has a little more laziness and comfort that only the noble sons in Ancheng have.
I have to say that her husband did give 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 worried about how to wake people up.
saw Shang Ji, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, there was an undoubted sense of oppression in those deep eyes.
Du Jingyi has never looked directly at her husband.
After being swept away by his wolf-like fierce eyes, he took two steps back in a little panic.
This scene just fell in Shang Ji's eyes.
He was also slightly surprised.
I thought that this time, Mrs. Wei asked him for about a "hard" saltless girl.
Unexpectedly, it was like a fairy under the moon.
If outsiders look at it, they are afraid that 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 enter the army.
So he sat up, took a breath, and asked as his face returned to normal.
"You're the Du girl?"
One sentence brought Du Jingyi back to reality.
What about good skin?
He didn't seem to be asking a lady in the house, but like a subordinate in the army.
So Du Jingyi put away the surprise and panic he had just had.
Pulling away his crimson nightgown, he folded his hands in front of his abdomen, and curtsy.
"The concubine Du has seen the general."
"Hmm."
Shang Ji sat up and moved his muscles and bones casually, and the strength of the wine was still a little off.
The thumb and index finger of the left hand pinched the position of the eye's acupoint, and then spoke.
"Leaving home three years ago is really a military emergency, I have wronged you, I asked for a lot of jewelry and clothes in front of Your Majesty, and I can send it tomorrow, which will be counted as a gift for my sins."
His words were originally intended to be slowly embarrassing for the two.
Who would have thought that Du Jingyi didn't even raise his eyelids, so he replied without emotion.
"The concubine has thanked Your Majesty and the general."
And the two maids behind her also saluted.
"Slave Cherry (Lizhu) has seen the general."
"Well, get up."
He was accustomed to seeing those rude men in the army.
I was a little unaccustomed to hearing such soft words.
Coughing twice, he asked.
"Where's the study?"
"It's still in the right room."
Hearing this, Shang Ji got up and got off the bed.
Seeing this, Cherry and Lizhu were going to step forward to serve him in his boots, but they were stopped by Shang Ji waving his hand.
He has long been accustomed to taking care of his own food and clothing in the army.
So there is no arrogance of a noble son at all.
Do not let your handmaidens come close.
I put on my boots before I spoke.
"I drank wine today, I'm afraid of smoking you, so go to the study and sleep."
Du Jingyi's face was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect him to say this.
But after being stunned for a moment, he immediately replied decently.
"Okay, the concubine will let the decanting soup be sent to the study."
"Hmm."
After saying this, he strode away.
but without the vanity of a drunkard.
It wasn't until his back was scattered in the dark that Du Jingyi seemed to react and left.
"Young lady, why didn't you leave the general in the main house?"
It was Lizhu who spoke, and she was always a bit quick to talk.
would say this kind of thing at this moment, and it was also for Du Jingyi's good.
After all, she has been married into the Guogong Mansion for three years, and she is only a nominal young lady.
The mother-in-law in the outer courtyard who had broken mouths made fun of this when they had nothing to do, and Lizhu had heard it several times, both openly and secretly.
But he went up to quarrel with others by his neck, and he always fell behind.
At present, if the general can be left to rest in the main house, wouldn't it be a fair slap in the face of those mothers-in-law.
That's why I said so.
It's a pity that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are in a hurry.
Du Jingyi didn't have the slightest desire to leave her husband's movements and attitudes.
After he left, he said calmly.
"Take out the moon incense and light it to disperse the smell of this room."
"Yes, young lady."
After smelling the familiar smell, Du Jingyi's mind sank.
For this husband who has just taken a photo, there is an indescribable feeling.
Although the two of them are nominally husband and wife, they will not get along for more than half an hour.
If he really stayed tonight, he didn't know how to "serve" him.
I don't know why.
I still remember the look in his heart when he first woke up.
It's like the head of a pack of wolves staring at its prey.
Although it was only fleeting, Du Jingyi saw it.
The ferocity and imperativeness in his eyes were inevitable.
It's no wonder that if you don't have some real skills, how can you take the thirteen cities of the border pass.
Ay......
Lying on the bed with red sandalwood inlaid with ivory and begonia flowers, I didn't sleep for a long time.
Tomorrow, I don't know how to face her husband, who is both familiar and strange.
Tossing and turning, it wasn't until the second half of the night that she couldn't stay up and fell asleep.
Unfortunately, early the next morning.
Du Jingyi was woken up by the deliberately loud voice of the mother-in-law outside.
I woke up with a little unhappy frown.
All the maids, mothers-in-law and servants who are waiting in this Xitang courtyard.
They are all down-to-earth and capable people who never speak much.
It's all because Steward He and Mama Dou have a very strict royal family.
I have been with them for three years, and there has never been such a situation of "making trouble" in the hospital in the morning.
