Chapter 50 Eavesdropping

After saying this, Shang Ji let the two of them leave.

After walking out of the study, the two looked at each other, sighed briefly, and continued with their work.

This disturbance only occurred between Shang Ji and his elder sister-in-law Liu, and did not affect Du Jingyi.

Therefore, after she woke up from a comfortable nap, her maid Cherry told her that the general had returned.

For a moment, she found it difficult to face, or rather, a little embarrassed.

But it was only for a moment and I soon let it go.

If all newlyweds were so pretentious, how would they be able to live together?

Moreover, they were an "old couple" who had been married for more than three years. Thinking of this, Du Jingyi gave instructions while washing up.

"Tell Danruo to prepare some food and send it over today. Remember to prepare more of the general's favorite dishes."

"Don't worry, Madam. I understand."

"Um."

Cherry hurried outside to deliver the letter and went to the small kitchen to give instructions.

Li Zhu served Du Jingyi and dressed herself neatly again.

The weather was nice today, and it was less chilly than in autumn, so Du Jingyi was dressed coolly.

She was wearing a peach-colored blouse and a long skirt that trailed on the ground, which made her look more beautiful than flowers.

The hairpin on her head is a pearl hairpin with a tangled crabapple flower. The exquisite craftsmanship makes the crabapple flowers on the hairpin look particularly lifelike.

Especially when following Du Jingyi's steps, it added a lot of charm to her.

Looking at Du Jingyi in the diamond-shaped bronze mirror, the maid Li Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

"The young lady is really pretty."

"Oh, you are so short of words of praise? Have you forgotten everything you learned in the Du family academy?"

Lizhu smiled and immediately praised.

"Young Madam is naturally beautiful, with a pretty face, virtuous and decent, dignified and generous, and extremely beautiful..."

Du Jingyi listened attentively to the maid's praise of her. Somehow, when she heard the word "beautiful beyond measure", she also heard a short chuckle outside.

He immediately raised his voice and asked.

"Who's outside?"

Perhaps he was caught eavesdropping, Shang Ji showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Fortunately, there was no visible blush on his skin, so he stepped into the main room.

"It's me."

The voice was low and charming, and Du Jingyi felt embarrassed instantly.

The maid Lizhu also had a bitter look on her face. How could she be so unlucky? She was just praising her own wife when the general came.

But there was no point in being embarrassed, so the master and servant stood up and walked out.

When he saw Shang Ji, he immediately bowed and said.

"I have met the general."

"This servant greets the general."

"Well, get up."

"Thank you, General."

He was still wearing the same clothes he wore when he left home yesterday, and had not changed them.

But Du Jingyi's outfit was the third or fourth one Shang Ji had seen.

The two of them had slander against each other in their hearts.

One is that she feels that her husband has too few clothes and has no changes.

One is that he thinks his wife has so many clothes, hairpins and jewelry that he can find new ones every day.

But neither of them spoke a word, they just sat down side by side at the eight-immortals table.

Then Lizhu handed over a handkerchief to help them wash their hands.

After a while, Yingtao and Danruo brought over two large food boxes.

There was another table full of dishes, which made Du Jingyi feel a little sad.

Why didn’t I serve so many dishes to this girl Danruo when I was serving her before?

But now that the general has returned, not only has the volume increased a lot, but the content has also become much richer.

For example, today there is her favorite kumquat crab soup. She doesn’t even need to taste it; she feels hungry just by smelling it.

Seeing the slight movement in her throat, Shang Ji understood what was going on, so he opened his mouth and spoke.

"Let's eat first, we'll go out later."

"Um?"

Du Jingyi was a little surprised. Why did he suddenly want to go out? Then Shang Ji explained.

"The key to the General's Mansion has been delivered. We have to go take a look."

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

Du Jingyi looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and replied calmly.

"I understand."

Then, the two of them ate their lunch carefully.

This meal was the second one the two of them had eaten alone since Shang Ji came back.

Maybe it was because they had already consummated their marriage, so they were a little closer.

For example, Du Jingyi would think about getting an extra bowl of soup for her husband, and Shang Ji would pay attention to what Du Jingyi liked to eat before picking up his chopsticks, and put some on her plate.

Such "love" made the maids nearby couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

It is the best thing that my young lady can live in harmony with the general.

Li Zhu, in particular, was eager to spread out everything that had happened in the past few days.

It would also be good for those gossiping old women and servants to see how their young lady caught the general's eye.

This would save her from having to bring up his background and the affairs of his previous wives every day, which would make her unable to bear it.

During the meal, everyone had their own thoughts in mind.

After the meal, Du Jingyi originally planned to make some tea to help digest the food.

As a result, he happened to meet Lu Ju coming to report the matter.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Shang Ji was there too, so she bowed respectfully and spoke.

"I greet the general and the young lady."

"Get up, what's the matter?"

Lu Ju was the most boring maid among the dowry maids and would rarely appear in the main house.

She liked to stay in the house most of the time every day studying embroidery patterns, so when she suddenly appeared, Du Jingyi knew that something must be wrong.

Lu Ju nodded and spoke in a calm tone.

"Madam, the general's clothes that were delivered to me before only had outer clothes, without inner clothes and shoes and socks, so I made a special trip to ask if there are any commonly used ones so that I can compare them and make them. It won't take long, it will be delivered to you tonight."

What she said was true.

The clothes she makes are always well-fitting and comfortable, which of course has a lot to do with size.

But Du Jingyi didn't have what she needed, so she could only turn her head to look at Shang Ji next to her, and then explained.

"I have asked them to bring the things in the general's study, but the daily clothes are a little insufficient, so I specially sent them to ask Lu Ju to make more. If the general has nothing to do, can you ask Lu Ju to measure the sizes carefully so that the clothes and shoes made by him will be comfortable to wear."

Shang Ji naturally understood her kindness.

So he said "hmm", stood up and spread out his hands, allowing Lu Ju to measure him up and down.

During this time, I carefully wrote down the dimensions.

After a cup of tea, another person came in.

Butler He's voice rang out in the yard.
