Chapter 5: Shallow Fight

So Du Jingyi got up by himself, put on his coat and sat down on the bed, and then raised his voice and said.

"Who's making noise out there?"

Hearing movement in the back room, the outside, which was still a little noisy, suddenly fell silent.

This was followed by the sound of the door being pushed open, and a crowd of mermaids entered.

The first of nature are cherries and lizhu.

Both of them looked a little unsightly, but they held back.

She was followed by a pointy-faced woman wearing silk and green brocade.

Her name is Mama Jiao.

It is now the henchman and grandmother of the country's step-wife Mrs. Wei.

It can be said that in this huge Guogong Mansion, she is the first to be decent.

He has been in charge of Zhongfeng for many years with Mrs. Wei.

I have long cultivated a temperament of talking to people and talking nonsense.

So before Cherry could speak, she took two steps forward.

Standing in front of Du Jingyi, he said respectfully.

"Young lady, I disturbed your dream early in the morning, it's the old slave, but today is the first day of the general's return to the house, so everyone in the family is waiting in Yunjin Courtyard, wanting to see the general, I came to disturb it early in the morning, and I ask the young lady to forgive me."

Du Jingyi glanced at her and didn't speak immediately.

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

Originally, the time to say goodbye on weekdays should have been the beginning of the morning.

She's almost two hours late now.

It's no wonder that the people of Yunjin Courtyard want to come over and "deliberately" say something that disturbs people's dreams.

It was because she had overslept.

So it's not good to have a seizure back.

So he raised a decent smile and said to Mama Jiao.

"The general came back a little late yesterday, and he drank a lot of wine, so it took some time to serve the general to wash up, and I delayed today's greetings to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, is it mine."

"What did the young lady say, our Mrs. Wei is the most kind, and she didn't want to disturb the general and the young lady, but there were too many people waiting in the front yard, so I sent the old slave to ask."

Ask?

If you really ask, you won't wake her up so much.

This Mama Jiao perfectly interprets what is called the ingenious ability of "two skins of the human mouth".

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

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

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

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

Although there were some traces of sleeping, I didn't see any round house.

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

There was a little disdain in his heart, but he was respectful on his face.

After waiting out of the door of Xitang Courtyard, he sneered and returned towards Yunjin Courtyard.

was so troubled by her, Du Jingyi's good mood for the day was gone.

"What about the generals? Are you still resting in the study? ”

Du Jingyi is not stupid, these people are not rushing menacingly.

It was clear that the person she wanted to see was her general's husband.

So it doesn't matter if she goes or not, this general must arrive.

Before Lizhu took the warm water, he handed it to Du Jingyi to suppress the dryness.

Then he said.

"General Mao Zheng got up and went to the martial arts training ground at the back, about a few sets of boxing to dissipate the wine."

Mao Zheng?

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

Unexpectedly, people are very diligent.

It seems that she, a young lady who has "nothing to do", is used to being lazy.

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

Before Du Jingyi finished speaking, he saw some footsteps outside.

Then I heard a low but clean voice ask.

"What are you going to send to me?"

I saw Shang Ji walking in.

A brocade robe with a crow blue embroidered pattern was worn on him, lining the slender and handsome figure.

It seems to have been washed.

Originally, the stubble on the lips was smooth, but it was faintly green.

The deep eyes looked at Du Jingyi, as if he had doubts.

And Du Jingyi had just gotten up, so he was naturally plain-faced.

But there is a stream of clear water out of the hibiscus, and the natural carving is beautiful.

But compared to last night, it seems that there is more tiredness without sleep.

When Du Jingyi saw Shang Ji walking in, he didn't take Qiao, and immediately got off the couch.

"The concubine has seen the general. Mama Jiao, who was beside Mrs. Wei, sent a message, saying that everyone in the family was waiting to see the general, so let's go over and say goodbye. ”

Hear here.

Shang Ji's face didn't have much turbulence, and he was 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.

"Now that you're here, let's go over and take a look, and you can wash up first."

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

I was drunk yesterday, so naturally I was lying down comfortably.

Now that he had sobered up, he realized a problem.

For this main house where he grew up, he felt a little more unfamiliar.

It's been three years.

Everything has changed dramatically here.

The original limestone tent was replaced by an autumn-colored moon shadow veil.

The small table of pineapple wood on the kang in the past has also been replaced with a complex and valuable style of red sandalwood inlaid with begonia flowers.

Especially the screens that are used as partitions.

He remembered that in the past, he only used cloth curtains, but now they have become Suzhou embroidered screens.

It is also delicately embroidered with a pattern of spring begonia flowers in full bloom.

It's worth a lot of money at first glance.

Sure enough, it's the daughter of a businessman!

It seems that the Du family has prepared a lot of good things for her.

He glanced at Du Jingyi with a calm expression, and then asked.

"Do you like begonia flowers?"

Du Jingyi was slightly surprised.

Sure enough, he is a great general who can recapture the thirteen cities.

looks rough, but in fact, the heart is as careful as hair, and the observation is also careful.

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

It's amazing.

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

Then the two were speechless.

The scene cooled down for a while.

It's like the autumn rain that fell yesterday, bringing a little chill.

coughed twice, the first to break the deadlock was Shang Ji.

Du Jingyi thought that the general was going to talk about it.

But he didn't think 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 okay, send someone to summon it."

"The concubine understands."

After Shang Ji left, Du Jingyi exhaled softly.

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

I've been used to being a general who gives orders for many years.

Even the soft words that came out of his mouth were like a military order, and people had to obey them.

"Fetch water and wait for me to freshen up."

"Yes, young lady."
