Mrs. Du has long been used to seeing the father and daughter having fun.
It's strange to say that both daughters were raised the same way. The older one is surprisingly well-behaved, while the younger one is cunning and hard to rival.
He shook his head helplessly and smiled lovingly.
He Shilin was obviously a little uncomfortable with his wife's sister's behavior.
Du Jingxiang looked at his wife strangely and looked helpless.
She whispered to him quietly.
"I'll talk to you later when I get back."
"Um."
He Shilin agreed in a low voice, feeling in his heart that it would be better to have a temperament like his own wife.
I don't know if the brother-in-law in the Duke's mansion can stand the weirdness of his wife and sister.
With Mr. Du and Du Jingyi here, the family will never be in a bad mood.
After chatting and laughing, it was time for dinner.
The whole family finally had a reunion dinner together with Lele.
During the meal, for a moment, Du Jingyi felt that if he really wanted to talk about reunion, then of course he still needed a husband, Shang Ji.
But then I thought, it would be better for him not to come.
Otherwise, the whole family will be nervous about eating this meal, which will make them feel quite constrained and boring.
At the dinner table, Du Jingyi's favorite people were sitting on the left and right sides, and they were eating the same dishes that she usually loved.
Therefore, she took off all her guard at this moment.
From the dignified and solemn young lady in the grand courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, she became the free-spirited little girl of the Du family.
Even the smile comes from the heart.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
A gust of breeze came and it gradually became cooler.
The streets that were bustling during the day now seemed a little empty.
There is talk of a curfew in Sui'an City.
Naturally, ordinary people will not go out casually during the hour.
Unless there is some special holiday.
For example, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, the Chinese Valentine's Day festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion in August, and the seven-day celebration of the Kingdom of China.
The clatter of horses' hooves and the sound of wheels rolling over the bluestones intersect with each other.
It looks particularly clear on a quiet night.
A group of people walked among them, and the soldiers who were under curfew also bowed politely when they met, and didn't do what they thought.
Because the leader was Shang Ji who was riding on horseback to pick up Du Jingyi and return home.
At this moment, he was listening to Luo Yuan report back to him about the major and minor matters during the time he left Cezhou.
Since Cezhou signed the "Ceyan Alliance", the people have been living and working in peace and contentment.
Although it has not yet returned to the bustling business scene of the past, at least everyone can live a life that is not affected by war.
Therefore, Shang Ji felt that given a few more days, Cezhou would be able to recover as before.
The tranquility and comfort of Sui'an City cannot be compared to Cezhou.
But for him, Cezhou is where his heart aspires.
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 of his memories and past events there, as well as responsibilities that he cannot let go of.
The moonlight shines on the relatively smooth road, reflecting streaks of light and shadow.
For some reason, Shang Ji thought of someone.
That is his little wife Du Jingyi.
When we first met, the moonlight was also so beautiful.
After thinking about it, the horse walked to the door of Du's house.
With a "hush" sound, the horse stopped in response.
The rules in the military are very strict, as can be seen from how obedient a mere horse is.
Looking at the brightly lit Du family, for a moment, Shang Ji seemed to remember the warmth and comfort in his home when he returned home in the past.
The warmth that had not yet risen between the eyebrows was quickly swallowed up by the night.
It's a bit lively and not suitable for him now.
"Knock on the door."
"yes."
There was a slight coldness in Shang Ji's voice, and he followed Luo Yuan and immediately stepped forward to take pictures.
He was very strong and the door opened in a few clicks.
Seeing that the person coming was Shang Ji, the boy guarding the door immediately ran out and said.
"I met my second uncle, and he said, if you come, please come inside."
"Um."
Shang Ji jumped on his horse, threw the whip to Luo Yuan next to him and gave instructions.
"It's been a long wait, I'll go in and pick up my wife."
"yes."
Under the moonlight, the young man looked at the twenty or so guardsmen.
Each one has a serious look on his face and stands as straight as a pine tree.
Feeling a little scared, he retreated to the hut where he was guarding the door and continued to lie down.
After Shang Ji entered the door, servants greeted him all the way.
Although he has only been here once, he has a good memory.
After a while, we arrived in front of Minse Courtyard.
Some laughter and laughter could still be heard vaguely inside. At this point, Shang Ji relaxed his solemnity and walked straight in.
When the guard in the yard saw the person coming, he naturally bowed his body and immediately shouted inside.
"Master, madam, the second uncle is here."
The family was chatting lively about interesting stories from the past when they heard this sound.
Mr. Du and Mrs. Du stood up and said to the outside.
"Please."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Ji walked in.
He was already tall and tall, and now that he was coming under the moonlight, he looked like a god descending from heaven, giving him a sense of inviolability.
After Mr. Du and Mrs. Du returned home in the morning, they had some resistance to their second uncle.
But this was the first time that Du Jingxiang and He Shilin met their brother-in-law.
I really didn't expect him to be so "tall and strong".
Shang Ji took a quick look when he entered the room. When he saw two more people in the room, there was no confusion in his eyes.
He has learned a bit about the Du family's affairs in the past few days.
The person in front of me must be Du Jingyi's sister who has been married for several years.
It is a bit unusual to bring my brother-in-law back with a full belly.
However, he is not a talkative person.
Therefore, he cupped his fists and said to the Du family.
"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law and my mother-in-law."
"Okay, my second uncle came at the right time. My eldest daughter is married and her husband is here to see us."
After hearing Mrs. Du's introduction, Shang Ji followed suit and said half-sideways.
"I've met my sister and my brother-in-law."
The biggest official Du Jingxiang and his wife had ever seen was the prefect of Pingzhou.
He was still a civil servant, an old man in his late thirties.
This is the first time I have seen my sister-in-law become a hussar general at such a young age.
It's normal to be a little cautious.
He Shilin also replied with cupped hands and fists.
"General, you're welcome."
Du Jingxiang next to him also slightly bent his legs to return the salute, but he was not as relaxed as before.
It was obvious that her sister and her husband were nervous, and Du Jingyi couldn't bear to let them suffer from this pressure all the time.
So he stood up and said to the Du family.
"Father, mother, my daughter will go back with the general first. I will come back to see you two another day."
Mr. Du and Mrs. Du nodded and said nothing more.
The Duke's family has a high status, so I don't know when the next time we will meet him.
