Chapter 473: As before (Xiaoxiang tickets plus more)



After hearing what Cherry said, Mother Cai was filled with surprise.

Although she knew that Lizhu was learning skills from the Fourth Madam before, she didn't expect that she had learned such profound skills and could now stand on her own to such an extent.

He was filled with emotion in his heart, and then he said.

"I thought this little girl was the most playful, but I didn't expect that she could endure the hardship of practicing martial arts. What a good child!"

Then, looking at Shuxiu who appeared beside Yingtao, he said with a welcoming look on his face.

"This is..."

"I am Shuxiu, a servant assigned to Madam when she was still alive. Nice to meet you, Madam Cai."

So that's how it is. Mother Cai glanced at Shuxiu's generous and decent appearance. Although she was smiling, she couldn't help feeling a little more cautious in her heart.

The maids are all of good age now, and those who are raised by the family know that they will not do anything wrong. But one has to be on guard against this sudden appearance. Who knows what she is thinking? After all, the wealth of the general's mansion and the general's benevolence are visible to everyone.

If someone wants to climb into bed, it’s not necessarily impossible.

So, she has to be on guard.

Having been taken care of by Mother Cai for many years, Du Jingyi knew what Mother Cai was thinking at a glance. She felt sweet and amused in her heart. She would have to talk to Mother Cai alone about the situation some other day so that she wouldn't be so obviously on guard against Shuxiu.

Shuxiu was the only "outsider" in Xitang Courtyard, so she was naturally a little reserved, fearing that she might do something wrong and make a fool of the Gu family's old house. So she performed her duties conscientiously and did her job in an orderly manner.

Cherry had known her for two or three years, so she said this when she saw this.

"I will take Shuxiu down to run the water first. Madam, take a bath and change clothes before eating. How about that?"

"Well, add more gel to get rid of the fatigue."

"I understand."

"Madam, where are the young masters?"

Speaking of this, Du Jingyi couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and pointed to the yard next door and said.

"Daddy and mommy are here, can the children come back with me?"

Hearing this, Mother Cai's eyes lit up and she then said.

"Then I will go down and tell them to prepare food."

"Okay, Madam Cai, go ask the children what they want to eat. They ate a lot of Sui'an dishes when they were in Jinling City, so there's no need to worry about it not being to their liking."

"I know!"

After all the servants left, the room became quiet. Gu Shaoyu raised his hand, handed over a cup of warm water and said.

"Now that you're back, this room is a lot more lively."

"General, what you said is true. Merchants like the sun. The more energy they have, the more wealth they will have. It's a good omen!"

"You keep talking about getting rich. Isn't it enough to bite the Seventh House hard in Jinling City?"

Gu Shaoyu pulled her to sit on the couch under the bright window, and asked casually. Du Jingyi leaned in his arms and spoke sincerely.

"I have already spit out that mouthful. It is not easy for my sister-in-law to be the head of the family, so if I have more money, I will not be constrained in doing things in the future. So, this trip to Jinling City not only did not make any profit, but I also lost a lot from the Yan family. Now that I have returned to my own territory, of course I have to make more money to make up for the deficit!"

"Little money-grubber! The matter of the former crown prince is almost settled. I estimate that the reward will be given in the next two days. No matter how much it is, put it into your private treasury. How about it be your husband's compensation to you?"

When Du Jingyi heard this, he immediately sat up from his arms in shock.

"If the general hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten to ask. How is it going? Have you found out? Who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes?"

Du Jingyi was also very curious about the remnants of the previous dynasty. His general had left Jinling City on the first day of the first lunar month, and it had been more than three months since then. He thought he could get to the bottom of it.

Add to that the revenge against Luo Yuan, Du Jingyi didn't believe he wouldn't be ruthless! When Gu Shaoyu was about to answer her, Yingtao came in at an inopportune time.

"Madam, the water is ready. You can take a bath and change your clothes."

Du Jingyi wanted to refuse, but Gu Shaoyu sent her into the ear room and said with a smile.

"You can soak in the water first to get rid of your fatigue. We can talk about it later when we feel better."

"General..."

"It's hard to finish in a short time. Be careful if the water gets cold and you get chilled."

Du Jingyi had no choice but to obey Gu Shaoyu's words, and finally got into the bathtub with this matter in her mind. The warm water made her feel comfortable, and all of a sudden the tiredness from the journey home disappeared completely.

Now that you are here, make the most of it.

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

Du Jingyi soaked in the ear room for half an hour, then washed her hair, wiped her body, and applied perfumed lotion for massage. When she came out, it was getting dark.

When Du Jingyi came out, he looked radiant.

Although she was not covered in dust during the journey, there was still a big difference between washing on the ship and washing at home. She even felt like she was peeling off her skin, and then she sighed.

“It’s still comfortable at home.”

When I entered the main room, I saw Gu Shaoyu reading a book. It was just some casual reading, but he was reading it with great interest.

When he looked up and saw Du Jingyi coming in, the smile on Gu Shaoyu's lips seemed to ripple, and his eyes were full of beauty.

"Mother Cai just sent a message saying that the food is ready and placed in the flower hall. My father-in-law and mother-in-law have gone there with the children. Xue Niang and Si Lang will also stay at home for dinner today, so you should pack up quickly and we will go together."

"good."

After hearing these words, Yingtao and Shuxiu hurriedly packed up for Du Jingyi.

She changed into the comfortable dress she liked to wear every day. As for her hair, she had already dried it in the ear room, so she immediately chose a low-key bun and put it up, then pinned it with a few plain hairpins.

Seeing her dressed so simply and comfortably, Gu Shaoyu's mouth felt as sweet as honey.

"Madam is indeed as beautiful as a lotus flower emerging from clear water. The simpler she is, the more elegant and refined she is."

"General, please don't flatter me. I am also a person who likes to dress up. If you say that, won't my boxes of jewelry be useless? We don't have any daughters in our house, so we can't give them away. Wouldn't they just be a waste in my hands?"

"Don't worry if you don't have a daughter. You'll have four daughters-in-law in the future. Just wait and see. I'm afraid those jewelry boxes of yours won't be enough to share!"

Hearing this, Du Jingyi chuckled. It had been a long time since she had spoken to her husband in such a joking manner. It felt quite cordial.

Finally, he put on a cloak and went out with his general, heading straight for the flower hall.

Along the way, the scenery is even better than before.

Du Jingyi was moved and then said.

"Give me a couple of days to rest, and I will definitely give generous rewards to everyone in the mansion!" (End of this chapter)
