Chapter 18 Talking About Moving

Du Jingyi was just being polite, but she didn't expect that the general would help her solve her problems.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Mother Qin?

What does this person do?

Seeing that Du Jingyi was a little confused, Aunt Dou explained.

"Don't worry, Madam. Mother Qin comes from a family of etiquette, so she is quite proficient in all kinds of rules in the back house. With her guidance, Madam will be able to handle things in the back house more easily."

Du Jingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It turned out that she had found a master for herself.

But there was no way, who made me say that extra word.

So, she had to pretend to be surprised and said.

"In this case, thank you very much, General. I will definitely learn from Mother Qin."

"Yes."

Shang Ji's tone was gentle, but there was not much expression.

But he added another sentence later.

"There are many disputes in the back house. If you encounter any difficulties, just go back."

His words are much more powerful than the one just now that let her eat by herself.

Does this mean that he will be her backer?

Otherwise, according to her family background and status in the Duke's Mansion, even if she wants to show off, she may not have this opportunity.

For a moment, Du Jingyi didn't know what he meant.

So it was difficult to answer.

Shang Ji saw that she didn't answer, but was silent.

I thought she was worried.

So he said to Du Jingyi again.

"The key to the general's mansion has not been delivered yet. When it is delivered, I will ask Luo Yuan to bring it to you, and then you can find someone to choose an auspicious day, and we will move."

Moving?

Confirmed?

She remembered the commotion in the third and fifth rooms in the morning.

If they really left, I'm afraid those people would not let it go.

So, after thinking about it, he said it tactfully.

"General, are only the people in our courtyard moving away? Or..."

Du Jingyi left a gap and waited for Shang Ji to reply.

"Well, the people in the East Garden will move away together."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi understood.

Originally, all the people in the East Garden were left by Madam Gu.

It was only natural for them to move out with Shang Ji.

But the eldest sister-in-law Liu, nephew Shang Zhiping and the eighth daughter of the Shang family, Xue Niang, also moved away.

Is it appropriate to say this to others?

And from her cold eyes in the three years in the Duke's Mansion, Madam Wei, who was in charge of the family, was not a good person.

It would be strange if she let this big family move away so easily.

Wouldn't that let outsiders point at her spine and say that she was mean to the children and servants left by the previous madam?

Although the Daxing Dynasty was short, the founding emperor was a person who attached great importance to rules.

Therefore, the laws of the country have been repaired a lot in these years.

The promotion of the concubine to the wife has already made people say that the Duke's Mansion does not know the rules.

If it is said that the wife, daughters and servants who came with the dowry were forced to leave, the Wei family will not be able to hold their heads up in the future.

Therefore, Du Jingyi felt that this matter must be difficult to handle.

When the words came to her lips, she wanted to persuade her husband, but she saw that her husband looked confident.

Thinking of him leading the troops outside, he could even make the enemy troops obedient.

It should not be a problem for these ruffian relatives in the backyard of the house.

So she relaxed her mind.

She said respectfully to Shang Ji.

"I know. After I get the key to the general's mansion, I will find some reliable bricklayers to take a look. My eldest sister-in-law brought Ping'er's nephew, so she must have a spacious yard, and it would be best if there was a place for Ping'er to study. As for the boudoir yard of my eighth sister, we should also choose it carefully. A girl's home near the mountains and rivers can open her mind."

When she said this, it was normal.

On the contrary, Shang Ji nodded slightly after hearing it, obviously very satisfied with her arrangement.

So, there was a little more attention in his eyes when he looked at Du Jingyi.

Since he met this lady of his family last night, he has always had a good impression.

She will not flatter or compromise.

As for other things, he has not discovered them for the time being.

But when he thought about the long days they would spend together in the future.

He did not feel any boredom.

He just suddenly remembered the three "deceased ladies" in the ancestral hall, and he was a little helpless.

But looking at her rosy face and light body.

He should be in good health.

Yeah, but we still need to find a reliable doctor to take charge of the general's residence.

He thought about these things in his mind, but his face was as calm as a mountain.

Soon, the small kitchen brought all the food.

Four meat dishes, two vegetables and one soup, and the portions were quite large.

Du Jingyi raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Dan Ruo who came to deliver the food. The expression was obvious enough.

There are only two of them, so there is no need to prepare so many meals, right?

Dan Ruo smiled lightly and said nothing.

Soon, Du Jingyi admired Dan Ruo's foresight.

Because even if she was not very hungry, Shang Ji still ate most of the food.

If she who had not eaten beforehand was added, wouldn't it be just right.

For this, she couldn't help but admire her husband's appetite.

After all, he was a man who marched and fought, and one meal was indeed equivalent to several meals for others.

In addition, his eating manner also made Du Jingyi admire him.

I thought that after so many years in the military camp, he had such a good appetite, so he should be casual about eating.

But I didn't expect that he followed the rules well.

He ate just right, and people didn't think he was wild and unruly at all.

Suddenly I remembered the mother Qin I just mentioned.

Could it be that she also taught this rule?

All of a sudden, Du Jingyi became interested in this mother.

This meal was the first time the couple had eaten in three years since they got married.

Neither of them talked much during the meal.

Only Yingtao and Danruo would pick out the ingredients and taste when they were serving the dishes.

In the past, Du Jingyi liked to talk more with Danruo.

But today, seeing that her husband didn't say a word.

She didn't chatter all the time.

After simply eating half a bowl of rice and a little meat and vegetables, she stopped eating.

Shang Ji saw that she had such a small appetite, so he thought that she was embarrassed to eat because he was here.

So, the last few bites were eaten in a hurry.

After putting down the chopsticks, he said to Du Jingyi.

"I just came back from Cezhou. I have military reports to deal with these days, so I will not leave the study unless it is necessary. You should eat and sleep as you like. Don't be constrained."

Then he added.

"I remember that you will go back to your parents' home tomorrow. Is it okay to leave at 7:00?"

7:00?

According to Du Jingyi's usual habit of sleeping in, it is naturally too early.

But you are going back to the Du family.

She was very happy about this.

So, she smiled and answered.

"I will follow the general's orders."

Shang Ji nodded, and told the Dou Ma beside him to arrange the carriage for tomorrow.
