My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Hear her talk about it.

Du Jingyi and Cherry also laughed.

On the contrary, it diluted a lot of the worries and sadness that just arose.

The master and servants were chattering about the birthday gift for a long time.

The days passed peacefully, just like before.

The next day, the sky was clear and bright with clouds and shadows.

Du Jingyi got up early, and his genius was a little brighter, so he called Yingying and Lizhu to wait on him.

I have to go home today, so I naturally have to dress more festively.

Apart from other things, the most important thing is the one that matches the skin color.

The Du family's parents must rest assured that their daughter will not be wronged when she marries into the Duke's palace.

So, I put it on specially, with a red floral placket on a white ground and a pleated skirt.

It looks like wintersweet, proud of the snow and frost in winter, full of agility.

Li Zhu also carefully decorated her hair with some beads, adding a lot of aura of wealth.

After looking left and right at the diamond-flowered bronze mirror and feeling that it looked good, Du Jingyi spoke.

"Go and see if the general is up? If he is, invite him over for breakfast."

"yes."

It was rare for Li Zhu to hear the young lady take the initiative to invite the general to come in, so naturally she was more excited.

We hurried out and headed to the study.

After a while, Shang Ji was invited over.

Du Jingyi was slightly startled when he saw that he was wearing a sapphire satin round-neck robe.

It has to be said that after dressing up like this, he doesn't look like a thirty-year-old general.

He looks even more like those weak-headed young men in Sui'an City.

She took a step forward, followed the rules, and said to Shang Ji.

"I have met the general."

"Well, get up."

"Thank you General."

"Sit down. If you have eaten earlier, we will go out earlier."

"good."

The two of them sat side by side on a rosewood Eight Immortals table outside the dormitory.

After a while, the maids filed in and brought today's breakfast.

There are shredded chicken noodles, crystal steamed dumplings, cooking cakes, and a small bowl of jasper soup.

Among them, the jade soup was prepared according to Du Jingyi's preference. As for the others, just looking at the portion, you can tell that they were prepared for Shang Ji.

Neither the couple spoke a word while eating, but tasted the food carefully.

Shang Ji had to admit that the cooking skills of the cooks in this small kitchen were getting better and better.

Even ordinary cooking cakes, the ones made here are much more exquisite and delicious than those made in the military camp.

So, after quickly using up three of them, he said to Aunt Dou who was standing next to her.

"Has the cook changed? I remember she wasn't that good at cooking before."

Aunt Dou smiled, immediately looked at Du Jingyi and explained.

"The person in charge of the small kitchen now is Danruo. She is the dowry maid brought by the young lady from her parents' home. Her skills are indeed much better than those of the original cooks in our house."

When Shang Ji heard this, he said "oh".

No wonder, even if you look at the furnishings in this room, you can tell that his wife knows how to enjoy it.

Therefore, it is not surprising to bring this excellent cook.

So, he raised his voice and said to Du Jingyi.

"When we get to the General's Mansion, let me expand the kitchen, and find a few more modest cooks to learn from it. The table will look better in the future."

"Yes, I know."

Even so, Du Jingyi still ventriloquised.

Danruo's craftsmanship was developed by traveling with the Du family and integrating the tastes of many places.

It's so easy to learn.

However, Shang Ji's reminder was reasonable.

After moving to a new home and sorting out all the affairs in the house, it is inevitable to invite people back to the table to make the place lively and lively.

So she had to prepare first and find a few capable women to accompany her to the housekeeper.

After eating, the couple went out together.

The chariots and horses at the door were not those from the Duke's palace, but the general's chariots and horses given by the emperor.

Four horses with shiny coats stood neatly in front of the car, and the frame was spacious enough to seat seven or eight people.

Although Du Jingyi has seen a lot of the world, he was still a little surprised when he saw this majestic and majestic imperial chariot and horse.

However, this surprise passed in a flash and quickly disappeared from her eyes.

After the couple got on the carriage and sat down, Shang Ji said something to the outside.

"Let's go."

"Yes, General."

On both sides of the carriage and horses stood the four maids brought by Du Jingyi and Mama Cai.

Their expressions were surprisingly good.

Everyone was smiling brightly.

Behind the chariot and horse was a group of Shang Ji's personal guards, about twenty people.

Behind them were the frames containing the door-returning gifts. There were twenty vehicles in one long line.

Such a grand pomp went all the way from the Duke's Mansion of Shang State to the door of Du's house.

Many people who didn't know what was going on gathered around to watch.

There were also those with good memories who started whispering.

"Zizhi, let me tell you, Miss Du's family is lucky. Otherwise, the young man has been married four times. She is so lucky to have returned home!"

"Who says it's not the case? Now it's the young lady of the Duke's mansion and the general's wife. Look at this kind of ostentation. What's the point of it if it doesn't give her a lot of face? It seems that this young lady is very favored!"

"Hahaha, why are you jealous? Do you want to use some money to send your daughter to the Duke's mansion to be a good concubine? I don't know, you can also get some good things."

"Bah, bah, bah, your daughter is just a child."

A few people chatted gossiping, and their voices were not too loud.

But Shang Ji has been in the army for so many years, so his ear skills are naturally extraordinary.

When he heard these words, his brows furrowed slightly.

He originally closed his eyes to rest, but soon opened his eyes.

But seeing the calm look on the lady sitting next to him, he relaxed.

Although his reputation as a wife-suppressing person was spread because of Mrs. Wei's encouragement, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Therefore, Shang Ji was not stingy in giving her the best within his capabilities.

As a result, the carriage arrived at the door of Du's house smoothly.

When Cherry outside shouted, "Young madam, we are home."

Only then did Du Jingyi wake up from his light sleep.

I have to say that this imperial chariot is easy to ride, and there is no bumpy feeling at all.

It was obvious that she could fall asleep even if she was sitting down.

The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was his husband Shang Ji.

He was tall and still seemed a little cramped in this spacious carriage.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate for him to ride a horse.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard him say in a low voice.

"Madam, let me help you get out of the car."

Du Jingyi was stunned for a second, but quickly nodded and said yes.

This is the first time that the couple has appeared together outside. Even if they are acting, they have to let outsiders see that they are a happy couple.

Therefore, Du Jingyi did not refuse.
