MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 258 Beginning of Spring

 “What does the general mean?”

"I want to go to the palace to discuss this matter with the Queen and see what she thinks. After all, I want to speak at a time when Your Majesty cannot refuse, so it is useless to speculate at home. It is better to ask the Queen."

Du Jingyi actually agreed with this, so his expression was very calm.

 “The Queen will be very willing to help if I think so.”

 “Well, I think so too.”

If there is anyone in the world who truly cares about the Gu family, it is the Queen, so Shang Ji and Du Jingyi both trust her.

At this point, Du Jingyi thought of something else, so he asked.

"I heard from Li Zhu that the father-in-law has been knocking on the door for a long time today, but the housekeeper has not opened it. Does the general mean to officially break up with the Duke's government from now on?"

"He has never taken us to heart, so why should we do it again? Let's just leave it like that. In the future, there is no need to send a message to the Duke of Guo's Palace about the matters in the General's Palace. As for the Duke of Guo's Palace sending a message, Just go back the way you came."

 “I know it.”

Shang Ji's meaning is already very clear, and Du Jingyi also feels that there is no need to mix things up, and it is most appropriate to cut through the mess with a quick knife.

Anyway, they have become independent from the Duke's Mansion long ago, and there is nothing for the Duke's Mansion to restrict them.

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi relaxed a lot, and then said.

"There is nothing going on in the house now. Last time, my mother sent a message about Brother Yun's 100th anniversary. I wonder if the general will have time then. Let's go back together and have fun."

Hearing what she said, Shang Ji was in a dilemma, but he didn't hide it from Du Jingyi and said directly.

“I’ve been away from the camp for a long time this month, so I won’t have time off until the time comes. If not, let grandma take you with her to congratulate you.”

Du Jingyi smiled. She also knew that her general was busy with official duties, so she didn't force it.

"In that case, general, it's better to practice in the military camp, we can go ourselves."

Shang Ji nodded and said nothing more.

He had more free days before, probably because of the New Year, but now that spring has begun, many things in the army have to be well prepared, so he will be busier than other times.

 It’s really hard to spare a lot of time to attend banquets again and again.

And spring is here, and the people in each house and government have eaten the food of the master and chased the west, so it is not good for him to show up all the time.

 So, Du Jingyi was also very considerate.

That night, after he had dinner with everyone, he took Luo Yuan and his guards and rode back to the camp.

 Everything in the army was as usual, but a few lieutenants trained their subordinates to scream, which made Shang Ji look satisfied.

Where the army settled, there were green mountains and green trees in all directions, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Unfortunately, they preferred the solemn world of Cezhou to the soft spring breeze.

Although it is cold, it is refreshing.

 It’s just that there’s no telling when I can go back there again.

 In the large camp on the outskirts, the sound of soldiers practicing day and night never ceased, and the spring day in Ancheng also arrived in full bloom.

 In front of the gate of Gongyuan, it was solemn and solemn, surrounded by people.

The royal family specially dispatched people from the Gyeonggi Division to guard it, in order to ensure strict discipline and no mistakes.

The Grand Tutor Xun was also standing in front of the door, stroking his long beard, and his eyes were filled with excitement as he watched the students enter the hall one after another. Some had spring-like faces, some frowned, and the family members standing outside watching were both worried and happy.

Thousands of people have different faces, but the only thing they have in common is that everyone hopes that their children and grandchildren will achieve good results.



The same goes for He Shilin's family members. The Du family, the two elders of the He family, and Du Jingxiang all came together. They gave him instructions before letting him in.

 Looking at He Shilin walking away, Mrs. He's wife spoke.

“Han Chuang has been studying hard for more than ten years, and I have only been watching for a few days. I hope my ancestors will bless me, and God will bless me, so that this kid from Shilin can be named on the gold medal list.”

When she said this, she was doing a ritual in her hands, and her pious attitude was admirable.

Mrs. Du spoke comfortingly from the side.

“Don’t worry, my mother-in-law, I’ve already checked with my husband, and he said that Shilin will be blessed with Wenqu stars this year, and there will definitely be good results.”

 “That’s good, that’s good.”

Mrs. He's face was full of smiles, while Du Jingxiang next to her was more concerned about whether her husband would be able to survive the three days away, so his brows were furrowed.

What they were talking about here was lively. On the other end, the carriages and horses of the Duke's Mansion were also slowly arriving here. Shang Qilang came down from above and when he looked at the word "Gongyuan", his expression was full of excitement, as if his ambitions for many years had finally been realized. .

 Then people from the Duke's mansion appeared one after another, except Shang Zhihe, everyone came.

Mrs. Wei looked at her son and felt proud in her heart.

He has not even taken the test yet, so he hurriedly said it as if his son had already won the first prize in one fell swoop.

"My son must give his mother some credit. If there is a top 3 in the family, it will be a great honor for the Duke's family."

 The Duke of the State, Shang Yukuan, has been feeling sad for not catching up with Xue Niang for the past two days. Now he has finally relaxed a little, so he encouraged Shang Qilang.

“Yes, yes, when you come out, we will... we will be able to live a more comfortable life.”

Shang Yukuan originally thought that he could help each other with the general's mansion, but it was better not to say this at the moment, otherwise it would be endless troubles.

“Fathers and mothers, don’t worry, your sons should work hard.”

Shang Shilang is not a good person, but he still cares a lot about his brother, so at this moment he sincerely hopes that he will be well, so he said.

"Fourth brother, I wish you a rapid rise to 90,000 miles. Seventh brother, I'm waiting for your good news."

Shang Qilang smiled. It was not easy to hear this from his fourth brother.

 “Okay, thank you fourth brother.”

Then he turned around and took a look. Everyone was almost gone in, so Shang Qilang didn't waste any more time. He saluted and said.

 “Go back, this is the good news you have been waiting for me.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei was so happy that there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she hurriedly wiped them with a handkerchief, while Shiro's wife standing next to her also supported her and said.

"Don't be sad, mother-in-law. With this ability, my seventh brother will definitely earn back his fame."

To Shiro's wife, the more the seventh brother gets along like a fish in water outside, the less likely he is to come back and compete with them for the position of young master, so she really hopes that he will have a good outcome.
