Chapter 30: Pick up the lady
Watching the father and daughter being funny, Mrs. Du has long been used to it.
It's also strange to say that the two daughters were raised the same, the older one was surprisingly well-behaved, and the smaller one was cunning and difficult to meet opponents.
Shook his head helplessly, smiling very dotingly.
He Shilin was obviously a little uncomfortable with his wife's sister's performance.
glanced at his wife strangely, and Du Jingxiang also looked helpless.
whispered to him.
"I'll tell you later."
"Hmm."
He Shilin agreed in a low voice, feeling that he still had a better temperament like his own lady.
I don't know that the brother-in-law in the Guogong Mansion can't stand the eccentricity of this wife and sister.
With Master Du and Du Jingyi here, there will be no cold time for the family.
Talking and laughing, it's dinner time.
The family and He Lele finally had a reunion dinner.
During the meal, for a moment, Du Jingyi felt that if he really wanted to talk about reunion, then naturally he still needed a husband and a gentleman.
But on second thought, it was better for him not to come.
Otherwise, this meal will make the family tremble, and it will be quite restrained and boring.
At the dinner table, Du Jingyi's favorite people sat on the left and right, and the dishes she loved on weekdays were also eaten.
Therefore, she took off all her mental defenses at the moment.
From the dignified and dignified young lady in the Gaomen compound of the Guogong Mansion, to the unrestrained little daughter of the Du family in the past.
Even the smile comes from the heart.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
A breeze is coming, and it is gradually cooling.
The streets, which were still lively during the day, seemed a little empty at the moment.
There is a curfew in Sui'an City.
Naturally, ordinary people will not go out at will when the time comes.
Unless it's a special holiday.
For example, the Lantern Festival, the Qixi Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and the seven-day celebration of the National Dynasty.
The clatter of horses' hooves and the sound of wheels rolling over bluestone slabs crossed each other.
It is especially clear in the quiet of the night.
The group walked among them, and the soldiers of the curfew also saluted when they met, and did not think about it.
Because it was Shang Ji who was riding a horse on the way to pick up Du Jingyi back to his house.
And he was listening to Luo Yuan at the moment to reflect on the big and small matters of his departure from Cezhou.
Since the signing of the "Ceyan Alliance" in Cezhou, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Today, although it has not yet returned to the prosperity of commerce and trade in the past, everyone can live a life that is not affected by the war.
Therefore, Shang Ji felt that given more days, Cezhou would definitely be able to recover as before.
The tranquility and comfort of Sui'an City are not comparable to Cezhou.
But for him, Cezhou is what he wants.
Therefore, what he thought was that after everything in Sui'an City was arranged, he still wanted to ask His Majesty for an order to return to Cezhou.
There are many memories and past events of him, as well as responsibilities that he cannot avoid.
The moonlight sprinkled on the fairly smooth road, reflecting a series of lights and shadows.
For some reason, Shang Ji remembered someone.
That is his little wife Du Jingyi.
When we first met, it was also such a good moonlight.
Thinking about it, the horse walked to the door of Du's house.
With a "whoop", the horse stopped.
The rules in the army are strict, and it can be seen from the obedience of a mere horse.
Looking at the brightly lit Du family, for a moment, Shang Ji seemed to remember that when he went home in the past, his home was so warm and comfortable.
The warmth that had not yet risen between the eyebrows and eyes was soon swallowed up by the night.
It's a bit lively, and it's not suitable for him now.
"Knock."
"Yes."
Shang Ji had a slight coldness in his voice, and he immediately stepped forward to shoot with Luo Yuan.
His strength was great, and the door opened in a few clicks.
Seeing that it was Shang Ji, the little guy guarding the door immediately ran out and said.
"The little one has seen the second aunt, and the master said, if you come, please be inside."
"Hmm."
Shang Ji jumped on his horse, and then threw the horsewhip to Luo Yuan next to him and ordered.
"I'll go in and pick up my wife."
"Yes."
Under the moonlight, the little servant looked at the twenty-odd guards.
Each one had a serious expression, standing as straight as a pine.
Slightly frightened, he retreated to the hut where he guarded the door, and continued to lie down.
Since Shang Ji entered the door, there were people to greet him all the way.
Although he has only been here once, he has a good memory.
After a while, he walked to the front of the Minse Courtyard.
Some laughter could still be heard inside, and Shang Ji relieved the solemnity on his body and walked straight in.
When the caretaker in the courtyard saw the comer, he naturally hunched over and immediately shouted inside.
"Master, madam, the second aunt is here."
The family was talking about interesting stories from the early years, when they heard this.
Master Du and Mrs. Du then stood up and said outside.
"Please."
As soon as the words fell, Shang Ji walked in.
He was already tall and tall, but when he came by moonlight, he seemed to be like a god descending, revealing a sense of indiscrepability.
After Master Du and Mrs. Du returned to the door in the morning, they had some resistance to their second aunt.
But this is the first time that Du Jingxiang and He Shilin have seen their brother-in-law.
I didn't expect him to be so "tall and strong".
Shang Ji glanced at the room as soon as he entered the house, and when he saw that there were two more people in the room, there was no wave in his eyes.
He has also learned a little about the affairs of the Du family in the past few days.
The one in front of me is Du Jingyi's sister who has been married for several years.
Coming back with my brother-in-law and still holding a belly, this is a bit unusual.
It's just that he's not a man of many words.
Therefore, he hugged his fists and said to the Du family couple.
"The son-in-law has seen my father-in-law and my mother-in-law."
"Okay, the second aunt came at the right time, this is the eldest daughter who married abroad and brought her husband back to see our old couple."
Hearing Mrs. Du's introduction, Shang Ji also said half-sideways.
"I've seen my sister, I've seen my brother-in-law."
Du Jingxiang and his wife have seen the biggest official in the past, that is, the Taishou of Pingzhou.
He was still a civil official, an old man in his old age.
It is the first time that he has become a hussar general at such a young age as his own sister-in-law.
It's normal to be a little restrained.
He Shilin also replied with his hands clenched into fists.
"The general is gracious."
Du Jingxiang next to him also bent his legs slightly to return the salute, but he was not as stretched as he was just now.
It can be seen that the nervousness of her sister and brother-in-law is not good, and Du Jingyi is not good for them to suffer from this pressure all the time.
So he stood up and said to the Du couple.
"Daddy, mother, that daughter will go back with the general first, and come back another day to see your two elders."
Master Du and Mrs. Du nodded and didn't say anything.
The door of the Guogong Mansion is high, and the next time I come out to see each other, I don't know when it will be.
