My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Du Jingyi originally just said a kind word, but she didn't expect that the general would "solve problems" for her.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Mother Qin?

What does this person do?

Seeing that Du Jingyi was a little confused, Grandma Dou opened her mouth to explain.

"Don't worry, young madam. Mother Qin comes from a family of etiquette, so she is quite proficient in all kinds of back house rules. With her guidance, young madam will be able to handle things in the back house more easily."

Du Jingyi couldn't laugh or cry.

I dare you to find a master for yourself.

But there was nothing I could do. Who told me to say anything more?

So, he had to pretend to be surprised and said.

"In that case, thank you so much, General. I will definitely learn from Mother Qin."

"Um."

Shang Ji's tone was gentle, but he didn't say much.

But I added it later.

"There are many disputes in the back house. If someone embarrasses you, just go back."

This sentence of his was much more powerful than the sentence just now asking her to eat by herself.

Does this mean that he will be his backer?

Otherwise, based on her family background and status in the Duke's palace, even if she wants to show off her power, she may not have this opportunity.

For a moment, Du Jingyi didn't know what he meant specifically.

So it's hard to answer.

Shang Ji saw that she didn't answer, but looked silent.

I thought maybe she had some scruples.

So he said to Du Jingyi again.

"The key to the general's mansion has not been delivered yet. Once it is delivered, I will ask Luo Yuan to bring it to you. Then you can find someone to choose an auspicious day for us to move."

move place?

Sure?

She remembered how noisy the three and five rooms were in the morning.

If they really leave, I'm afraid those people won't let it go.

So, after thinking about it, I said it tactfully.

"General, is that just the people in our yard moving away? Or..."

Du Jingyi took a breath and waited for Shang Ji to reply.

"Well, the people from Dongyuan will just move out together."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi understood.

Originally, everyone in Dongyuan was left behind by Mrs. Gu.

It is natural for him to move out with Shang Ji.

However, the elder sister-in-law Liu, nephew Shang Zhiping and the merchant's eighth young lady Xue Niang also moved away with them.

Is it appropriate to say this?

And based on her cold eyes during the three years she has been in the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Wei, who is in charge of the family, is not a good person.

It's strange that she would let this big family move away so easily.

Wouldn't that make outsiders point at her spine and say that she was mean to the children and servants left behind by the late wife?

Although the Daxing dynasty was short-lived, the founding emperor was a very disciplined person.

Therefore, the laws of the country have been revised a lot in these years.

This concubine's support has already made people say that the Duke's mansion does not understand the rules.

If there is another argument for forcing away wives and servants, Mrs. Wei's lineage may not have to hold their heads high in the future.

Therefore, Du Jingyi felt that this matter must be difficult to handle.

When the words came to her lips, she wanted to persuade her, but she saw that her husband looked confident.

Thinking of him leading troops to fight outside, even the enemy troops can be dealt with submissively.

Just think about these naughty relatives in the backyard of our house.

Then he relaxed his mind.

He said respectfully to Shang Ji.

"I know this. After I get the key to the General's Mansion, I will find some reliable masons to take a look. My sister-in-law brought Ping'er's nephew, and she must have a spacious yard. It is best to have someone who can A place for Ping'er to study. As for the courtyard of Bamei's boudoir, we should also choose it carefully. My daughter's home will be surrounded by mountains and rivers, and her mind can be more open."

When she said this, it was normal.

Instead, Shang Ji nodded slightly after hearing this, obviously very satisfied with her arrangement.

As a result, he looked at Du Jingyi with a little more attention.

Ever since he saw his wife last night, he had always had a good impression of her.

He will not bend his will to please, nor will he compromise.

As for the others, he hasn't discovered them yet.

But when I think about it, there will still be a long time for the two of them to get along in the future.

I don't feel any boredom either.

But he suddenly remembered the three "passed ladies" in the ancestral hall, and he felt helpless.

But look at her rosy complexion and light body.

He should have a good body and bones.

Yes, but we still have to find a reliable doctor to sit in the general's mansion.

I was thinking about this in my mind, but my face was as still as a mountain.

Soon, the small kitchen delivered all the meals.

There are four meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and one soup, and the portions are quite generous.

Du Jingyi raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Danruo who came to deliver the food, his expression was obvious enough.

There are only two of them, so they don’t need to prepare so much food, right?

Dan Ruo smiled lightly and said nothing.

Soon, Du Jingyi was deeply impressed by Danruo's foresight.

Because even when she wasn't very hungry, Shang Ji still ate every meal.

Wouldn't it be just right if we added her who hadn't eaten anything in advance?

Regarding this, I couldn't help but admire my husband's appetite.

After all, he is a man who is marching and fighting. Sure enough, one meal is worth several meals for others.

In addition, Du Jingyi admired his eating habits.

I thought that after staying in the military camp for so many years and having such a good appetite, he would eat casually.

Unexpectedly, he followed the rules well.

If he eats just right, he will not look rough or wild at all.

Suddenly I remembered Mother Qin whom I just mentioned.

Could it be that she also taught these rules?

Suddenly, Du Jingyi became interested in this mother.

This meal was the first time the couple had gotten married in three years.

Neither of them spoke much during the dinner.

When there are only cherries and tangerine dishes, I will pick out the ingredients and comment on the taste.

In the past, Du Jingyi liked to discuss Taoism with Dan Ruoduo.

But today, I saw that my husband didn't say a word.

It's not easy for her to keep chattering.

After simply using up half a bowl of rice and some meat, I stopped using chopsticks.

When Shang Ji saw how little she ate, he thought it was because he was here and she was too embarrassed to use it.

So, the last few bites were eaten in a hurry.

After putting down his chopsticks, he said to Du Jingyi.

"I just came back from Cezhou. I have military reports to deal with these days, so I won't leave the study if nothing happens. You should eat and sleep. You don't have to be restrained."

Then he added another sentence.

"I will remember to return home tomorrow. Is it okay to set off at midnight?"

Chenshi?

Judging from Du Jingyi's usual habit of sleeping in, it was naturally too early.

The one who can return is the Du family.

At this point, she was very happy.

So, he answered with a smile.

"I just obey the general's orders."

Shang Ji nodded and asked Aunt Dou next to him to arrange the carriage and horses for tomorrow.
