Chapter 295: Suppressing the Bandits

Her words comforted Shang Ji a lot.

He naturally understood Du Jingyi's intentions, so he held her in his arms and said nothing more.

In the following days, Shang Ji always asked her worriedly whether she had received her monthly letter.

He would ask her three or four times every day, which made Du Jingyi feel that he was a little too anxious, while she was more indifferent.

It was not until the seventh day, when Du Jingyi really got her period, that Shang Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I started to calculate according to the booklet, and remembered all the days when I could have sex but was difficult to conceive.

Although the two of them had some mischief afterwards, they always spent their time in peace and stability.

The autumn rain falls, and it is the harvest season for all things.

At this time last year, Du Jingyi was still worried about her situation in the Duke's Mansion. Who would have thought that now she has become the envy of everyone.

The elders love the child, the couple is affectionate, and the son is smart and well-behaved.

When I woke up from my next nap, I saw my husband lying quietly beside me. For a moment, I felt that life was peaceful and tranquil.

"If you keep looking at me, I'm afraid I'll blush."

His sudden words made Du Jingyi embarrassed for a moment, and then he gently hit him and said.

"Why didn't the general say anything after he woke up?"

"Isn't this the moment when Madam Greedy covets my beauty? So, are you satisfied with what you see?"

Du Jingyi opened her mouth slightly and then spoke.

"General, where did you learn this brothel-style sentence? It was not so improper before!"

Shang Ji smiled, then held her in his arms and said.

"Aren't you going back to Jinling City in a few days? When I resigned from your majesty, I agreed that I would arrange all matters related to the Tiger Guards within the next two months. So I guess I won't have much time to come back. So I'll say something to cheer you up first, and then tell you this news. Maybe you will feel better."

The couple had basically not been apart since last year, so if Shang Ji didn't return home for two months, Du Jingyi would be a little worried.

"Can't you come back for even a moment?"

"Probably, because His Majesty arranged for me to lead the brothers of the Tiger Guards to the surrounding hills to suppress bandits, so..."

"Suppressing bandits? Isn't this the job of the City Defense Department? How did it fall to the Tiger Guards?"

The division of military positions in the Daxing Dynasty was still very clear. The Jingji Division was responsible for all security activities within the city, the Chengfang Division was responsible for all security activities outside the city, and the Huben Army was mainly responsible for marching and fighting, as well as defending the city when necessary.

To be honest, using the Tiger Guards to suppress bandits is a bit of a waste of talent.

After all, the bandits these days are just dozens or hundreds of people who gather here to make trouble for a while. They have no equipment and no strategy.

Shang Ji smiled and said.

"When I resigned that day, I happened to meet His Majesty scolding the commander of the City Defense Department for not being able to deal with the mountain bandits, so this task fell on me."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi could only sigh and speak.

"Then the general should be careful."

"Got it. It will be packed up in less than half a month."

Du Jingyi knew Shang Ji's abilities, so he didn't give him any more instructions.

After having dinner with the family, Shang Ji left with his personal guards.

After this departure, they won't be seen for at least a month. Du Jingyi felt a little reluctant, but she had to endure it no matter how much she was reluctant in front of her country. This was the helplessness of them as the families of military generals.

Madam Gu saw the worry in her eyes and said comfortingly.

"People who are on the march and fighting in wars cannot stay at home and enjoy a comfortable life every day. You must also learn to relieve yourself, otherwise there will be many such times in the future."

"Thank you for your comfort, grandma. I understand."

The autumn rain fell continuously, and everything seemed to have returned to the way it was before.

The only difference from last year is that Du Jingyi has a little kid by his side. With Tai Ge'er by his side, the days are not that hard to endure, and September comes in the blink of an eye.

Du Jingyi has been busy these days.

The autumn harvest has yielded results, and naturally there are accounts to be paid everywhere, so Du Jingyi does not have much time to accompany his son. Old Madam Gu and the fourth aunt take the initiative to shoulder this responsibility, taking Tai Ge'er to play in the yard every day.

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

Fortunately, the courtyard of the general's mansion is big enough. I can watch the fish today and enjoy the maple leaves tomorrow. Even if I don't go out, it will take several days to visit all the scenery in the general's mansion.

Therefore, they are not troubled.

Tai Ge'er also grew up rapidly during these days, from a meatball who could only sit up with the help of others, to a chubby boy who could sit independently and even liked to dance.

That afternoon, after Tai Ge'er woke up, Mrs. Gu took him to the garden in the back mountain to sit and play.

The pavilion here is high, and you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire back mountain. There is a pond in front of it, and there are some rice field fish in it. The ornamental value is average, but the taste is excellent.

Tai Ge'er is worthy of being Du Jingyi's son. Ever since he started eating complementary foods, he has become picky about food. His favorite is the fish porridge made with rice field fish. It is not only sweet in taste, but also very nutritious.

After adding complementary food, Taige's hands and feet gradually became stronger.

Fourth aunt had someone custom-made a hollow wooden sword for Taige'er to play with. It was a lot lighter and was originally intended just for him to show off, but after playing with it for a while, he actually learned how to play with it without any instruction.

That look and that move made my fourth aunt very happy.

Because when Gu Jia Silang was still alive, he traveled the world with a big sword, so when she saw Tai Ge'er behave like this, she felt quite comforted in her heart, as happy as if she saw her husband reincarnated.

"If your mother saw this, she would say that Grandmother was making trouble, so, while she's not around, chop her a few more times."

After hearing this, Tai Ge'er seemed to understand something. He held the wooden sword and chopped here and there. It was very interesting.

This made Old Madam Gu laugh non-stop, and her sister-in-law Liu at the side also joined in the excitement.

"Why don't we make a set of all the eighteen kinds of martial arts for Tai Ge'er, and let him choose what he likes so that he can study it in the future."

Her proposal brightened the eyes of Old Madam Gu and Fourth Aunt, who thought it was a good idea.

So the fourth aunt naturally stood up and spoke.

"That's easy. I'll ask someone to make the things. But I'm afraid it will take two months to make this set of swords, spears, and halberds. I can only wait for them to return from Jinling City and get them. What a pity."

I don’t know if it’s because of the weather or the virus, but my family members are getting sick one after another. I’m the worst. I’ve been sick for about half a month. Medicines are basically useless. I rely on injections to relieve the symptoms, so I’m not sure about the updates. After finishing this chapter, I have to go to the hospital again. I’ll continue writing after I come back. Sorry, sisters, when I recover, I will adjust the time to restore the previous early morning updates, and I will also give you more benefits. Sorry again! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
