Chapter 119 Nephew Reads

People tend to be nostalgic, but when faced with countless good things, they will be dazzled.

As soon as you enter the house, you can see a row of maple forests. Although there is no beautiful scenery of red maples at the moment, you can see that the maple forest is lush and green, and there will be something to see next year.

It went around in a circle, up, down, left and right, and every detail was arranged according to Xue Niang's Hanyi Courtyard in the East Garden.

It's just more attentive and more handy.

Xue Niang said as she watched.

"Sister-in-law Liu asked us to prepare things. I thought we were going to move in the furniture as well. I didn't expect that everything was so complete that we could just move in with our luggage."

"If you like the things from the past, you can bring them here. There are two rooms on the left and right, you can decorate them yourself, but I have arranged the things in the main room and the embroidery building in advance. If you don't like them, just ask Madam Dou to change them."

Du Jingyi didn't force himself too much. It was better for the place to live to suit his own taste.

When Xueniang heard this, she was extremely happy.

Although her eldest sister-in-law has taken care of her for more than ten years, she still has a lot of respect for her sixth sister-in-law. After all, her eldest sister-in-law is the elder in her heart, and her sixth sister-in-law is more like a sister.

Therefore, I went over to her, took her hand intimately and said it shyly.

"Thank you, Sixth Sister, for taking the trouble to decorate it for me. I like it all."

"I'm glad you like it. Then let's go see the yard where Sister-in-law and Ping'er live."

"Um."

It’s not very far from Xueniang’s yard to Dasao’s yard, just a cup of tea.

But the scenery is completely different.

What comes into view is an open and bright garden, which is now clean and tidy.

"I have ordered people to prepare the grass seeds. When the time comes, cover them with grass ash. Next year, lush green flowers and plants will surely grow."

Just by imagining it, you can imagine how green the yard will be by then.

Walking along the garden, the first thing you see is the study with bright windows. It is as big as two rooms and has all the necessary facilities.

Unlike when he was in Dongyuan, when Shang Zhiping wanted to write or study, he basically stayed in his sister-in-law's room and did not have a separate and tidy study room.

Seeing this, regardless of whether Shang Zhiping could become a good scholar in the future, who would not be happy to see such an environment? Sister-in-law Liu had tears in her eyes and looked at Du Jingyi with great emotion.

"I'm sorry to bother you, sister-in-law. Ping'er's study is very good, very good."

Seeing her excitement and gratitude, Du Jingyi responded with a smile.

"As long as my sister-in-law likes it, I'm glad. The general has told me that he will find a teacher to teach Ping'er's studies. I thought of arranging it like this, and it would be good for the teacher to come."

The eldest sister-in-law is now most concerned about her only son, so as long as it is for his benefit, she will always respond.

However, when Shang Zhiping heard this, he felt a little aggrieved and worried.

Maybe she is afraid that she is not worthy of such a good husband and study, so she has this expression.

Du Jingyi saw it and naturally understood it.

She knew that Ping'er had a knot in her heart. After years of repression, she always felt that she was not good enough in this way and not worthy of that way, so she was insecure all over.

Du Jingyi didn't want to force him to grow up immediately, so he stepped forward to comfort him and said.

"In fact, for a family like ours, it doesn't matter if we have to make great achievements or become a prime minister. As long as we can understand the principles in books, know about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and can put what we have learned into practice, it is a good thing, right, Ping'er?"

These words relieved Shang Zhiping's worries a little.

If nothing else, the pressure is a little less.

He just looked at his mother nervously and said something quite uncomfortably.

"I'm afraid my mother will be sad."

He mumbled for a long time before he said this, but it made Du Jingyi breathe a sigh of relief.

"Silly boy, what are you talking about?"

Sister-in-law Liu sighed, and her eyes became slightly red again.

She is wholeheartedly doing her son's best, and it is a good thing that her son still cares about her.

But now he is only thinking about her and forgetting that he is also an independent person, which makes his sister-in-law feel distressed.

He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Du Jingyi.

After giving him a comforting look, he turned to Shang Zhiping and continued speaking.

"Although I haven't become a mother yet, I have also been a daughter. I know that there are many parents in the world who want their children to be successful, but really speaking, it doesn't matter if you have a bright future. The most important thing is that you live a healthy and happy life. This is more important than anything else. I think my sister-in-law means the same thing."

Shang Zhiping looked at Du Jingyi in disbelief, as if wondering about the truthfulness of her words.

The sister-in-law also knew that her past actions had put too much pressure on her children.

So now that he had calmed down, he responded.

"Your Sixth Aunt is right."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Shang Zhiping relaxed a little when he saw this expression, and was no longer as restrained as when he first entered the garden.

After Du Jingyi saw this, he and his sister-in-law exchanged a glance and both thought it was a good thing.

So, Du Jingyi, striking while the iron was hot, mentioned it.

"Ping'er, do you have any hobbies in your daily life? I have reserved several empty rooms in this yard, and they can all be decorated for you."

After hearing this, Shang Zhiping looked at Du Jingyi with a slightly confused look.

Then his face turned red, and he lowered his head and shook it.

Seeing him like this, sister-in-law Liu was even more heartbroken.

On the contrary, Du Jingyi didn't find it strange at all and just waited quietly.

It was not until Shang Zhiping mustered up some courage that he spoke in a low voice.

"I know a little bit about Cuju, but... I'm not very good at it."

He spoke in a low voice, as if having a hobby was a shameful thing.

Du Jingyi rarely heard him express his opinion, so he immediately responded.

"There are always Cuju competitions in Sui'an City. Since Ping'er likes it, how about we practice more and then go on the field to try it out?"

"Can I? I...I can't do it."

For the first time, Du Jingyi saw hope in Shang Zhiping's eyes. Although it was later covered by deep inferiority, she did not miss it.

So he answered in the affirmative.

"You haven't even tried it yet, so why would you give up so easily? It's a good thing to like Cuju. First, it helps you stay healthy, and second, you can learn how to cooperate with others. It doesn't mean you have to win, but if you really win, that's not a bad idea."

Perhaps it was because Du Jingyi's tone of voice was very cute, so Shang Zhiping felt less tense.

Sister-in-law Liu had no idea that her son liked Cuju.

Hearing his conversation with Du Jingyi at this moment, he felt both surprised and sad.

I raised him for thirteen years, but I don't understand him at all.

It's really sad.

Shang Zhiping saw that his mother's mood was getting lower and lower, and thought that something he had said had made her sad again.

So he immediately became embarrassed and said.

"Mother...son...son was just talking nonsense. Son likes reading and learning to read. He will study hard when he returns home later!"
