The few of them chatted and laughed and stayed at the Du family for the whole day.

It was getting dark when Du Jingyi reluctantly took Tai Ge'er back to the general's residence. When he left, he looked back at his parents in front of the door, feeling very sad.

Although my parents still look the same, if you look closely, you can see more wrinkles between their eyebrows and eyes.

As the days passed, Tai Ge'er grew up and they grew old. I don't know if it was because of the cold weather, but it always made people feel sad.

Du Jingyi sighed and said nothing more.

Tai Ge'er in her arms seemed to sense that his mother was in a bad mood, so he snuggled quietly in her arms without crying or making a fuss.

There was nothing special happening all the way to the general's mansion.

Unexpectedly, when she just got off the carriage, she saw someone hurrying towards her not far away. Du Jingyi looked closely and found that it was her husband Shang Ji whom she hadn't seen for many days. Her sad expression suddenly became much better.

He hugged Tai Ge'er and shouted.

"General!"

"Oh."

Shang Ji finally rushed back on this cold night despite the wind and snow. When he saw Du Jingyi and Tai Ge'er, his originally serious and resolute face melted.

I walked up and asked.

"But you just came back from the Du family?"

"Um."

"I hurried along but still came a step late. I wanted to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday."

Du Jingyi asked with some surprise.

"General, do you remember?"

"Of course I won't forget. Didn't Madam give me ninety-nine little golden pigs last year? What about this year?"

Du Jingyi stretched out his hand and lifted his son up, saying with a happy expression.

"Isn't this year's gift better than the little golden pig?"

Shang Ji laughed out loud when he heard that. If he wasn't too cold, he would have wanted to hug the mother and son in his arms and give them a good kiss.

"Let's go, I'll go back and wash up before I talk to you."

"Well, is the general ready to eat?"

"No."

"Then I'll ask Danruo to do more, and I'll accompany you to use more."

"OK."

The two of them had endless things to talk about, just like any young couple who have met again after a long separation. However, Tai Ge'er was a little sleepy, so he hung his head and lay on Du Jingyi's shoulder, feeling a little drowsy.

Therefore, after returning to Xitang Courtyard, the wet nurse took him in and said with a smile.

"Let me take you back to sleep first, and I'll bring you back tomorrow."

Although Du Jingyi also wanted the family of three to have a meal together, he also knew Tai Ge'er's habits, so he didn't delay any longer and nodded and said.

"Go ahead, be careful not to let him get cold."

"Yes, Madam."

After Tai Ge'er was taken away, the sound of washing could be heard again in the ear room, and the emptiness in Du Jingyi's heart was filled at once.

It's true that it's better for people to stay apart less often, especially for young couples like them, who really feel like they've missed each other for three years when they don't see each other for even a day.

Cherry was watching from the side, and she was also happy about her young mistress's uncontrollable smile. Not to mention the mistress, even she was a little uncomfortable with it. The general had been gone for almost two months, and it seemed like something was missing in the entire general's mansion. Something was always not right.

So she whispered.

"I will go and see how Danruo's meal is going."

"Well, go ahead."

Then she turned and walked out. Not long after, Shang Ji, steaming all over, came out of the ear room.

Their house was renovated separately, so the ear room and the inner room are connected, but there is a door and a screen in the middle to block it, so that they won't get a headache after washing up in the winter.

As usual, Du Jingyi took a handkerchief and wiped the water stains on Shang Ji's hair, drying it bit by bit. The couple enjoyed this rare comfortable day.

"I thought it would take a few days for the general to come back."

"I had almost finished arranging the things on hand. I saw that it was my father-in-law's birthday, so I rushed back. Who knew I would still be late."

"If Dad knew that the general came back specially to celebrate his birthday, he would be very happy."

"We'll go again tomorrow. Even though it's a day late, it's always good for the family to get together."

"Um."

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

Du Jingyi was grateful for Shang Ji's intentions. It was not easy for a family like theirs to receive such attention and recognition, so she treated Shang Ji with even more care.

After a while, the food from the small kitchen was delivered.

They were all Shang Ji's favorites, and Du Jingyi brought a bowl of bird's nest soup.

"Dan Ruo said that since the young lady has already had her meal, it would be better not to eat too much. Just finish the bird's nest soup. This way you can sleep better."

Cherry explained, then took out a piece of charcoal-grilled venison from the food box and placed it in front of Shang Ji.

When the couple saw the venison, they immediately understood the maids' intentions, especially Shang Ji. After looking at Du Jingyi with a raised eyebrow, he raised his hand and drank the glass of wine at hand.

In an instant, the body became much warmer and the eyes became much hotter.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi looked at Shang Ji shyly, then laughed softly. The meaning was obvious. Yingtao tactfully put the food away and left quietly.

The couple sat opposite each other and drank a glass.

"It's still more comfortable at home."

It was rare for Shang Ji to say such words. If Luo Yuan, who came back with him, heard it, he would definitely sneer. It was clear that he didn't seem to have any problems when he was in the army, so how come he felt comfortable at home?

Du Jingyi smiled and added.

"It's comfortable at the general's house."

Shang Ji smiled at her when he heard that, then started eating with relish.

He never doubted Danruo's cooking skills, but the color on the roasted venison was too obvious, so he ate most of the plate with rice, making his already warm body even warmer from head to toe.

"Send your maid to take it away."

"Are you full, General?"

"I'm full."

Then, Cherry, who heard the noise, came in, took the things away swiftly, and lit a stick of Yueming incense. The smell instantly warmed up the room.

The couple hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they missed each other very much.

They had just eaten and didn't seem to have any bad thoughts, so the two of them sat under the bright window and talked.

"Is everything packed up?"

"Yes, I packed it up two days ago, waiting for the general to come back."

"That's good. Tomorrow I will go see my grandmother and return to my father-in-law. The day after tomorrow I will go to the palace to bid farewell to His Majesty and the Queen, and then we can set off."
