Chapter 30 Pick Up My Wife

Especially Master Du thought so! "Humph, you little girl goes against your father every day! When you return to the Duke's Mansion, I'll see if you dare to show off in front of the young master!"

Du Jingyi smiled and answered immediately.

"Don't worry, Daddy. I have a million-dollar dowry. If things don't go as planned, I'll have ways to make myself feel better. Besides, Daddy won't leave his daughter alone, right?"

Mrs. Du was already used to watching the father and daughter having fun.

Strangely enough, the two daughters were raised in the same way, but the older one was surprisingly well-behaved, while the younger one was so cunning that no one could rival her.

He shook his head helplessly and smiled dotingly.

He Shilin was obviously a little uncomfortable with his wife's sister's behavior.

Du Jingxiang looked at his wife strangely, with a helpless look on his face, and whispered something to him.

"I'll tell you when I get back."

"Um."

He Shilin agreed in a low voice, thinking that it would be better to have a temperament like his wife.

I wonder if the brother-in-law in the Duke's Mansion can tolerate the eccentricity of his wife's sister.

With Mr. Du and Du Jingyi around, there will never be a dull moment in the family.

After chatting and laughing, it was time for dinner.

The family finally had a happy reunion dinner.

During the meal, there was a moment when Du Jingyi felt that if they really wanted to reunite, then of course they were still missing their husband, Shang Ji.

But on second thought, it would be better if he didn't come.

Otherwise the meal would be fun and boring as the whole family would be trembling with fear and restraint.

Sitting on the left and right of the table were Du Jingyi's favorite people, and they were eating the dishes she loved on a daily basis.

So, she let down all her defenses at this moment.

From being a dignified and serious young lady in the noble mansion of the Duke's Mansion, she became the free-spirited little girl of the Du family.

Even the smiles seemed more genuine.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

A breeze blew and it gradually became cooler.

The streets, which were bustling during the day, now seemed a little empty.

There is a curfew in Sui'an City, so naturally ordinary people will not go out at will during that time.

Unless it is a special holiday.

For example, the Lantern Festival, the Chinese Valentine’s Day celebrations, the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and the seven-day party in the National Dynasty.

The sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling over bluestone slabs intertwined with each other.

It is particularly clear in the quiet night.

A group of people were walking among them, and the soldiers on curfew just saluted them politely when they met them, without thinking anything else.

Because the leader was Shang Ji, who was riding on horseback to pick up Du Jingyi and was listening to Luo Yuan reporting to him about all the matters that had happened during the time he was away from Cezhou.

Since Cezhou signed the "Ce-Yan Alliance", the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Although the business has not yet recovered to its former prosperity, at least everyone can live a life unaffected by war.

Therefore, Shang Ji felt that with more time, Cezhou would be able to recover.

The tranquility and comfort of Sui'an City cannot be compared with Cezhou.

But for him, Cezhou is where his heart lies.

Therefore, he thought that after everything in Sui'an City was arranged, he would still like to ask His Majesty for permission 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 sprinkled on the relatively flat road, casting streaks of light and shadows.

For some reason, Shang Ji thought of someone, that was his young wife Du Jingyi.

When we first met, the moonlight was just as beautiful.

As he was thinking, the horse arrived at the gate of the Du family.

With a "whoosh", the horse stopped.

The strictness of the military rules can be seen from the obedience of a mere horse.

Looking at the brightly lit Du family home, for a moment, Shang Ji seemed to remember the warmth and comfort of his home when he returned home in the past.

The warmth that had not yet emerged between his eyebrows was quickly swallowed up by the darkness.

It's a bit lively and not suitable for him now.

"Knock on the door."

"yes."

There was a hint of coldness in Shang Ji's voice, and his personal follower Luo Yuan immediately stepped forward to take a picture.

He was very strong and the door opened in just a few seconds.

Seeing that the person coming was Shang Ji, the servant guarding the gate immediately ran out and said.

"I greet the second uncle. The master said that if you come, please come in."

"Um."

Shang Ji jumped on his horse, threw the whip to Luo Yuan beside him and gave instructions.

"Just wait, I'll go in and pick up my wife."

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

"yes."

Under the moonlight, the servant looked at the twenty or so guards.

Each of them had a serious expression and stood straight like a pine tree.

Feeling a little frightened, he retreated back into his small gatehouse and continued to lie there.

As soon as Shang Ji entered the door, servants came to greet him.

Although he had only been here once, he had a good memory.

After a while, they arrived in front of Mingse Courtyard.

Some laughter could still be heard faintly from inside. Shang Ji relaxed his solemn expression and walked straight in.

When the guard in the yard saw the person coming, he naturally bent over and immediately shouted inside.

"Master, Madam, the second uncle is here."

The family was happily talking about interesting things that happened in the past when they heard the noise.

Mr. Du and Mrs. Du then stood up and spoke to the outside.

"Please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Ji walked in.

He was already tall and strong, and now walking under the moonlight, he looked like a god descending from heaven, exuding a sense of being inviolable.

After returning home in the morning, Mr. Du and Mrs. Du had developed 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 that he was so tall and strong.

Shang Ji took a quick look as he entered the room. There was no wave in his eyes when he saw two more people in the room.

He has also learned some about the Du family's affairs in the past few days.

The person in front of me must be Du Jingyi's elder sister who has been married for several years.

It is quite unusual for her to come back with her brother-in-law and a big belly.

However, he was not a talkative person, so he clasped his fists and spoke to the Du couple.

"My son-in-law greets my father-in-law and my mother-in-law."

"Well, the second uncle-in-law has come at the right time. Our eldest daughter who married out has brought her husband back to visit us old couple."

After hearing Mrs. Du's introduction, Shang Ji also spoke half sideways.

"Meet my elder sister, meet my brother-in-law."

The highest official Du Jingxiang and his wife had ever met was the governor of Pingzhou.

He was a civil servant, an old man in his seventies.

This is the first time I have seen someone like my brother-in-law become a General of Cavalry at such a young age.

It's normal to be a little reserved.

He Shilin also bowed and clasped his hands in response.

"You're welcome, General."

Du Jingxiang next to him also slightly bent his legs to return the greeting, but he was not as relaxed as before.
