Returning to the north was something Du Jingyi had been looking forward to for a long time.

Standing on the deck, she looked at the clear sky and endless scenery outside, and suddenly remembered how embarrassed she was when she came here. If she had known there would be such a comfortable return journey, she would not have suffered that pain.

The Su family's boat was large and stable, so it was easy to carry them. In addition, the travel date was carefully calculated by the Su family's helmsman, so they headed forward steadily.

Mu Lianying, of course, went with them. As for Zheng Deli, he returned to the Huben Army after his injury healed. Now there are still 50,000 Huben Army soldiers staying in Qingshui Town. Since he brought them here, he will naturally take them back! There are also some more guards on the ship, which Gu Shaoyu specially left to escort Du Jingyi and the children. Now, they temporarily obey Mu Lianying's orders and take over Luo Yuan's position.

The wind was whistling but not chilly. Everyone on the boat was eager to return home and could not wait to stand in Sui'an City the next moment.

After walking for more than ten days from south to north, they finally began to see the city walls of Sui'an.

Along the way, except for the Countess who was not quite used to the boat journey and took some tranquilizers to resist the discomfort, everyone else was fine.

Especially the four children, I don’t know if they like water or something, but not only did they have no reaction to walking on the boat for so many days, they were happy to run around on the deck every day without feeling dizzy.

Tai Ge'er, in particular, always asked to play in the helmsman's cabin. The helmsmen did not dare to offend this little Master Gu easily, so they told him a lot of interesting things about the sea.

Tai Ge listened with great interest and regarded the cabin as a great place to listen to stories. Therefore, before he was ready to get off the ship, he had a lot of stories in his head and kept shouting that he wanted to tell them to his brothers.

"Madam, we shall be at the shore in three quarters of an hour."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Du Jingyi said to the Su family helmsman who came to report that indeed the safety along the way relied on their rich experience, so they deserved the hard work.

As the city walls became clearer and clearer, Du Jingyi became more excited.

She had been separated from her husband for two or three months, and from her parents for even longer. Even at this moment, when the wind from Sui'an City blew hard on her face, she still felt it was sweet and refreshing.

In short, everything is fine when I return home! When Mrs. Li, the wife of the Minister, came out, she saw Du Jingyi standing on the deck, so she smiled and walked over.

"Mrs. Gu."

"Madam, the Minister."

"Is Auntie feeling better?"

"Much better. Maybe she knows she's almost home, so she's in better spirits than before. My fourth brother is telling jokes with her now, so I came out to see how long it will take."

Then Du Jingyi pointed in the direction and spoke with some excitement.

"It's almost there. We'll be there in 35 minutes. After we land, I'll send someone to take you back first."

"No need. Can we not find the way home? Madam Gu has been gone for two or three years. I am afraid that many people in the city miss her very much. So we will not disturb you. We will set up a feast at home another day. Madam Gu, please come and enjoy it."

"You're welcome, Madam Minister. I'll definitely be there!"

Then, he asked expectantly.

"I just don't know what I talked about with the Minister's wife before..."

Li took one look at Du Jingyi and naturally understood what she was planning. Her family had both civil and military talents, and their status in the court was also very high, so the daughter of the Li family would have a chance to marry anyone.

However, after observing her for some time, she felt that her eldest sister-in-law Liu was a kind-hearted person. Although Shang Zhiping was not a very gifted child, he was proficient in both civil and military affairs compared to those sons of wealthy families.

The most important thing is that if she marries him, she will be the wife of a duke who is in charge of the family. Therefore, it is an excellent choice for their Li family to have such a marriage. So she took Du Jingyi's hand, patted it and said.

"I understand. My two nieces are now at the right age, but one is more delicate and the other is more quiet. When the Earl's Mansion sets up a banquet, my sister-in-law will naturally bring them to the banquet. At that time, they will look at each other with your nephew. If they are attracted to each other, it will be a blessing for them."

Li held a high status in the Li family, so Du Jingyi felt relieved when she made such a promise.

Although she was talking about her two nieces, Du Jingyi already had someone in his heart. But after all, it was Ping'er's lifelong happiness, so she should let them see first.

Since I’m old now, there’s no need to rush.

Chatting and laughing, the boat got closer and closer to the dock.

When they were almost there, Du Jingyi saw the figures he had been thinking about at a glance.

Gu Shaoyu stood by the bank, wearing a dark blue brocade robe that made him look very energetic. Perhaps because he had been hiding for a winter, he looked a lot whiter. Although he could not compare with Du Jingyi's tender and delicate appearance, he still looked like a nobleman.

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

Standing next to him were the Du couple, who were looking around, as well as Guo Silang and Xue Niang, and behind them were a group of servants. When Du Jingyi saw them, he naturally waved.

For this reason, Mr. Du was most excited.

"It's Tangtang! It's Tangtang! They are finally here, here they are."

His words also successfully attracted the attention of others, and they were all busy waving. Among them, Xue Niang hadn't seen them for many years. She not only missed Du Jingyi, but also her sister-in-law and Ping'er. She couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and wave to the people on the boat.

Who knew that he was stabilized by Guo Silang next to him, and said with an anxious look on his face.

"Be careful. You're going to be a mother soon, why are you still so impatient? Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Only at this moment did Xuenniang remember that she was seven months pregnant.

She is different from Gu Shaoyu. Gu Shaoyu took the surname Gu, so when Madam Gu passed away, it was his grandmother who passed away, so naturally he had to observe mourning for a year. But Xue Niang's surname is still Shang, so according to reason, she only needs to observe mourning for her grandmother for three months.

Therefore, even if the child was conceived, no one dared to say anything.

It's just that she was wearing a cloak today, so nothing could be seen under it. Mrs. Du said comfortingly.

"It's okay. A pregnant woman can go out for a walk to relax. A seven-month-old baby will be fine."

This was the first time Guo Silang became a father, so he was naturally very cautious. So when he heard what Mrs. Du said, he knew it was correct, but he still couldn't help but worry in his heart.

Seeing this, Mrs. Du also smiled and made a joke. (End of this chapter)
