MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 270 convoy

 After the results were released, the wind in Sui'an City never stopped.

Everyone is trying their best to move around, find connections, and make friends, hoping to get a good job, a good job, or a promising job.

 However, during this period, He Shilin acted calmly.

With the recommendation of his brother-in-law Shang Ji, his appointment as an official was decided early, and he went to Pingzhou to work in the Salt Transportation Department under his name.

In this way, it will not be too eye-catching, and it will also give him basic training.

The most important thing is that even if he wants to be promoted and move back to Ancheng in the future, he will have a reason and excuse. After all, he is from the Salt Transportation Department.

 Hence, everyone in the Du family was grateful to Shang Ji.

On this day, when Mrs. Du took Du Jingxiang to visit the house, she happened to meet Li Zhu, who was about to go to the fourth aunt's yard to make a horse walk.

Mrs. Du asked with surprise in her eyes.

“Everyone else has gained a lot of weight over the winter, but why have you lost a lot of weight? You look more energetic than before.”

Hearing this, Li Zhu didn't hide it and answered immediately.

“Madam, the young lady has found a master for this slave. I have been practicing with the master these days.”

“Master? Is the boxing master in this house so powerful?”

“She’s not a boxing and kicking master, she’s the fourth lady from Jinling City. She’s very good at using the nine-section whip, so I’ve been following her.”

The fourth lady from Jinling City, isn’t she talking about Shang Ji’s fourth aunt?

 She works as a master for Li Zhu?

Mrs. Du didn't expect this, but she still asked her to leave.

"In that case, let's go quickly and don't keep the fourth lady waiting."

 “Yes, ma’am.”

After Li Zhu said goodbye to Mrs. Du, she went down the corridor to the martial arts training ground. The fourth lady was also waiting there early. When she saw Li Zhu coming, her eyes became more radiant.

This girl looks rough, but in fact she is both tough and kind-hearted.

 So, the fourth lady just wanted to kill her time at first, but after several contacts, she started to teach sincerely, so Li Zhu's progress was also rapid.

 “I have seen the fourth lady.”

 “Well, let’s get started.”

"yes."

Neither of them likes to talk nonsense, so they start from the basics of every move. They still learn it for two hours every day, and they can't beat it regardless of wind or sun.

Sometimes there will be maids and young men passing by, but the rules in the house are strict, and those people don't dare to stop and watch, they just leave silently.

Li Zhu, like many others before, followed the fourth lady attentively and started today's practice.

 In Xitang Courtyard.

Mrs. Du and Du Jingxiang came, but Du Jingyi was very happy.

 Hurryly, Cherry was served with tea, and then the others started chatting.

"Your brother-in-law's errand has been settled. In three to five days, they should set off to go back. The He family said that everything is ready, and they are just waiting for Shilin and Brother Yun to go back to worship their ancestors. "

Hearing Mrs. Du say this, Du Jingyi also replied jokingly.

"How can I say that my sister is very lucky? This time, my son has been born and my husband has graduated from high school. When we go back, the He family will not be able to support you and thank you every day. "

“You stinky girl, you know how to tease me!” Du Jingxiang has never been as good at talking as Du Jingyi, so after saying this, there was no follow-up.

Instead, she sighed and turned the topic to her belly.

“After all, I can’t wait until the day you give birth, which is a pity.”

"Why are you panicking? I don't have to leave in four or five days, right? Maybe I will give birth in these few days."

Mrs. Du looked at Du Jingyi's belly and nodded.

“I think she’s already in the basin, maybe she’s about to give birth.”

When Du Jingxiang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and the corners of his mouth also rose.

“If I can really meet my little nephew and niece, I can feel more at ease on the way back.”

 The mother and daughter were chatting and laughing, which was quite lively.

“I see that Li Zhu went to learn martial arts from the Fourth Madam? What do you think?”

"That girl has a lot of strength. She learned some basic skills from Mr. Leng when she was at home, and she has a good foundation. Now that the fourth aunt has lived here for a long time, she is very bored, so she has Li Zhu with her every day. , it can also make her feel a lot happier, so we arranged it like this."

“I said, I thought you saw that my second uncle has a personal guard, and you also want to form a female guard.”

Mrs. Du didn't mean what she said, but Du Jingyi listened with intention.

His eyes lit up and he slapped his hands and said.

“Mother, this is a good idea, but the maids in the house may not be able to bear it.”

“Come on, what’s your belly like now? Are you still thinking about these things? The most important thing is to wait for the birth with peace of mind and don’t waste your mind on other things.”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled and replied.

 “Mother, don’t worry, my daughter knows how to measure.”

 Besides, the matter of the female **** is not her thing to worry about. She only needs to talk about this idea with her fourth aunt. It is estimated that based on her temperament, she will be more excited than herself.

Mrs. Du and Du Jingxiang sat for a while before leaving. Du Jingyi originally wanted to keep them in the house to have dinner, but there were still things at home, and Mrs. Du had to go back to deal with them.

 So, I didn’t stay much longer.

 After they left, Du Jingyi was not idle, so he asked Yingtao to find Aunt Dou and Butler He.

 She has a temperament that will do whatever she wants, so she won’t delay.

When the two of them came, they saw that Du Jingyi was holding a booklet that registered everyone in the house. Seeing this, they thought that Du Jingyi wanted to buy or sell some servants, so they all looked solemn.

“But what kind of ignorant girl made the young lady angry? I sent them away right now?”

 Mother Dou's words made Du Jingyi suddenly embarrassed, but he quickly explained.

"Mommy, I misunderstood. With you and Butler He here, who among the servants in the General's Mansion didn't say that the rules are strict, so there is nothing to make me angry. I asked you two to come here today because I have an idea. I didn’t know if it was appropriate or not, so I just asked.”

Hearing this, the two of them made a mental calculation. After all, if something went wrong with the people under their command, they would not be able to escape the blame.

 “Young madam, it’s okay to just say it.”

"It's like this. Li Zhu has been practicing martial arts with her fourth aunt these days. I don't expect her to become a female general or anything like that, but she has some skills. If something happens to us in the back house, it will be better than the guards. It must come in time.”
