Chapter 64 Mother’s Family

“The general should wear that dark landscape round-neck robe, and then you can go get me the fairy skirt with pink and green embroidery on the white background.”

 “Yes, I know this.”

Cherry then sent the round-neck robe to Shang Ji.

Shang Ji didn't need anyone else to change his clothes, so he stood behind the screen and changed himself.

By the time Yingtao found the fairy skirt Du Jingyi asked for, he was already fully dressed.

The ink landscape painting was done in one go. The fabric felt soft and delicate, but was stiff when worn, making his chest broad and majestic.

His long hair has not been **** yet and is hanging around his back like that, which makes him look a bit different from the usual resolute general.

I have to say, Lu Ju’s craftsmanship is really good.

This dress is just right, no more is too much, no less is no less.

Shang Ji lowered his head and raised his hands to look around. He knew without guessing that this fabric must be expensive.

 After all, the things in this house, to be precise, belong to his wife, so there are no bargains.

So he couldn't help but chuckle to himself, and when he turned around and was about to say something, he saw that Du Jingyi's appearance had also changed.

The flowing fairy skirt is paired with a cloud bun, and on the head are two gilt vase flower hairpins with hollow butterfly flowers, which are very beautiful.

The red lips and white teeth were slightly hooked, and the smile made Shang Ji's heart skip a beat.

If it weren't for these two "obtrusive" maids in front of him, he would have wanted to have a nice and tender relationship with his wife.

But thinking of going out next, I could only restrain my desire.

So he coughed twice and gave instructions to Cherry.

"Send breakfast over here, and tell Butler He that the carriage and horses can be prepared."

"yes."

The couple were seven-tenths full with the delicious breakfast, and then walked out of the Dongyuan gate and went straight to Du's house.

Walking on the street this early in the morning, there were constant shouts.

The fragrance of the wontons on the stall penetrated Du Jingyi's nose. Even though he had just had breakfast, he couldn't help but the fragrance was always enticing.

Shang Ji glanced sideways and saw his wife's expression, so he opened the curtain and took a look.

 The four characters "Liu Ji Wonton" were written on a cloth flag and hung high.

The people selling wontons at the stall are an old couple. They seem to be very agile and kind-hearted.

 So she likes to eat this?

 When you have a person in your heart, naturally you also have her preferences in mind.

　　It’s just that the occasion is not right.

 Otherwise, he could accompany his wife to use a small bowl and taste it.

Soon, the carriages and horses carried Shang Ji and Du Jingyi away from this lively street.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the door of Du's house.

The news that the two were coming back was sent to the Du family early.

So when the two of them arrived, Du and his wife Du Jingxiang also stood at the door, welcoming their arrival happily.

This meeting is different from the last time.

 Escaped from the sadness of separation and gained the joy of reunion again.

"Dad, mother, sister, brother-in-law... why are you out?"

 “It’s not just to welcome you two.”

Mr. Du said with a smile.

He was born with a smiling face, and now because his eldest daughter has returned home to live there, he has several smile lines on his face.

 Looking even more kind-hearted and naive.

Du Jingyi doesn’t know why, but he wants to act coquettishly when he sees people at home.

I didn’t even care that my husband was standing next to me, but I immediately lost all seriousness.

 Took two quick steps and jumped into the arms of Mr. Du and Mrs. Du, saying repeatedly that he missed them.

Shang Ji, on the other hand, abided by the rules and said with his fists in hand and a slight salute. “My son-in-law has met his father-in-law and his mother-in-law.”

 Then he nodded to Du Jingxiang and his wife.

He called me after Du Jingyi, "Sister, brother-in-law."

Du Jingxiang and He Shilin did not deserve Shang Ji's bow, so they quickly returned the salute and said.

 “Brother-in-law, you’re welcome.”

Mrs. Du is also very happy. Now she looks more and more pleased with her second uncle Shang Ji.

Not to mention anything else, just in the short time he came back, he took his daughter home twice, which was enough to make Mrs. Du feel valued.

 Otherwise, according to the rules of their high-end courtyards, it would be strange if my daughter ran so diligently to her parents' house and was not criticized.

 But she looked carefully around and saw that her daughter and uncle seemed to be much closer when she came back this time.

Although it can't compare with the sweetness of the eldest girl and uncle, it is still much better than when I first came back.

So she pretended to glance casually at Cai's mother who was following her back. When the latter nodded, Mrs. Du's smile became more sincere.

 Husband and wife should be harmonious at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.

I have been worried for more than three years, but today I have truly put my worries behind me, so I said to my daughter Du Jingyi and my uncle Shang Ji.

"Let's go in quickly. Breakfast is ready and waiting for you to come and eat together."

 Both of them came back after using it, but in this atmosphere, no one would say not to eat it.

 So, the two of them smiled and followed Mrs. Du and others through the door together, and then ran to Mingse Courtyard.

This is the first time that the Du family members sit so neatly, so except for Shang Ji who is not nervous, the people at the table are still a little restrained by Du Jingxiang and his wife.

 The dishes on the table are all Du Jingyi and Du Jingxiang’s favorites.

He Shilin is not picky, he just eats whatever his wife eats.

 So everyone’s attention was focused on Shang Ji.

Mr. Du explained immediately.

“I don’t know what my second uncle likes to eat, so I asked the chef to prepare some. I can try them all and see which one I like. I’ll let them make it more often in the future.”

 “Well, thank you, father-in-law, for remembering me.”

 So he picked up the chopsticks.

As soon as he made a move, everyone followed him to see what dish he picked up first.

For some reason, Du Jingyi thought it would be the soup dumplings in front of him.

 As expected, it is indeed the case.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi smiled knowingly.

 Although Shang Ji's surname is Shang, he basically grew up in the Gu family.

 For a truly prestigious family like the Gu family, rules naturally permeate every move.

 Let alone Shang Ji not being picky, even if he was picky, he would not move his chopsticks carelessly in this situation, so he would naturally pick the chopsticks placed in front of him.

　　Chewed it briefly and then swallowed it.

 He eats in an eclectic way, something Du Jingyi has long discovered.

So, seeing him taste everything, Du Jingyi still admired his appetite.

 I've never been disappointed.

Those who didn’t know better thought that the two of them really came here without breakfast.

After seeing that he had tasted everything, Mr. Du immediately asked.

 “Which one do you like more?”

Shang Ji was not polite, he pointed at two of them and said.
