My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 99: Talking about the future (more updates with monthly ticket)

 The two of them returned to the main room, and the food was already placed on the Eight Immortals' table.

There are both Du Jingyi's favorite food and Shang Ji's favorite food, and there is also a pot of wine beside the table.

 Seeing the wine, Du Jingyi blushed a little drunkenly.

Shang Ji also saw the thoughts of the maids in this arrangement and found it quite funny.

Could it be that they thought they had to rely on this wine to have a good relationship with their wife?

 So today, he stepped forward and started talking.

"In the future, if Madam wants to drink, you can bring it to her. There is no need to do this at other times."

　　…Yes, general.”

Maid Qingtai felt a little worried when he said this.

 What does this mean?

Could it be that they thought they had drugged their wine?

 Although I have objections in my heart, I still have to take away the wine that should be taken away.

 Then he left the house and let the two of them have a quiet dinner.

In the past few days, Du Jingyi's "condition" has gradually improved. After all, Mrs. Wei had issued an ultimatum.

She must appear at the Duke's birthday party.

 So, she didn’t apply the pearl jade powder on her face much in the past two days.

Looks a little more rosy.

During the meal, the two of them didn't speak much. After finishing the meal and clearing the table, they had a cup of tea and chatted for a while.

“Has your sister-in-law come to talk to you?”

"As I said, I feel much more relieved when I see my sister-in-law than before. When we move to the General's Mansion, everything will be fine from scratch."

"That's good."

Du Jingyi then mentioned something else.

“Sister-in-law also told me about Ping’er. He is not old or young now. Has the general thought about what he will do next?”

"I've already found a riding and archery master. It's not difficult. As for studying, I'm still thinking whether it would be better to find a gentleman to teach at home or send him to study outside. I saw his studies last time. , It’s just mediocre, I don’t see anything extraordinary about it.”

 This matter is also something that worries Shang Ji.

After all, this is my eldest brother’s only bloodline. He can guarantee wealth and peace, but he can’t just do nothing all his life.

 The intelligence I had when I was young was really wasted. Thinking about it, I feel a pity.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi came up with another idea.

"General, I feel that it is too late to give Ping'er civil and military force now. He is being restrained too much now. I am thinking that as long as I don't make any mistakes, it will be fine. If this continues, you will invite a famous Confucian master. , or maybe even the top master is useless.”

　　　“That 伱 means…”

"You should travel thousands of miles. Let him know first that the world is so big, and it is not limited to the three acres of land in the back house. When people travel, their state of mind will also broaden. Break this inner demon and learn from it in the future. Only when you get up will you get twice the result with half the effort.”

Shang Ji also agrees with this point, but it is difficult to realize it.

 One is who to choose to be the person to accompany him on his travels, and the other is whether the sister-in-law is really willing to let him go?

 So Shang Ji fell silent.

Du Jingyi also knew that this matter should not be rushed, so he did not give any more comfort, but said.

"General, don't worry too much. The Chinese New Year will be around the corner after we move to the General's Mansion. It's too cold to travel. Even if we really do this, it will only be after March or April. We still have half a year. You can choose a suitable person to accompany Ping'er, or you can talk slowly with your sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Shang Ji said "hmm".

"You are very thoughtful, so do this. If you can't find a suitable person by then, I will go find my grandmother and see if she can help Ping'er find a suitable gentleman in Jinling City."

ˆ Mentioning the Gu family, Du Jingyi could feel the sudden softness in her husband's body.

 Thinking about it, this grandmother must have treated him very well, so he had such a reaction.

 Just as she thinks of her father, mother and sister.

 While the two chatted for a while, the night outside became darker.

If it's spring and summer, you can still admire the moon, look at the stars and so on, but now, Du Jingyi doesn't like the cold, so he would rather stay in the house than go out. At this moment, she really hopes that the greenhouse can be built early, so that she can have some hope for the winter in the future.

 Otherwise, she would not be happy to be exposed to the cold wind and snow day after day.

Shang Ji saw her touching her arm and realized that she might be a little cold, so he looked at the sky outside and said aloud.

 “Place it.”

"Um."

Du Jingyi thought he wanted to go to bed earlier because he had to get up early.

Who knew she was afraid of the cold, so she went to bed early.

 After washing, the two of them got dressed and lay down.

That canopy bed was more than enough to sleep Du Jingyi alone, but now it seems a bit narrow.

 Although the two are husband and wife, they are still in the "newly married" stage.

Therefore, it is somewhat difficult for Du Jingyi to be as natural as an old married couple.

  She was a little embarrassed, so she turned sideways, leaving her back to Shang Ji.

Shang Ji was not polite and hugged her straight after turning off the lights.

When he felt the warmth behind him, Du Jingyi felt that this husband could also be a soup lady, which was very good.

 Unfortunately, she only thought about it for a moment before she felt the warmth behind her begin to feel an undercurrent of heat.

Shang Ji was not a monk, and the comfortable days he had with this beauty in his arms were ten thousand times better than sleeping alone in an empty tent in a military camp and sleeping in a cold bed.

As I thought about it, I naturally became distracted.

With the heavy breathing, it hit Du Jingyi's shoulders and ears little by little.

　　Muttered in a low voice, "General, I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Um?"

 Shang Ji's voice dragged out the ending for a long time.

　　With a touch of emotion and a third of desire.

　　It completely pulled Du Jingyi into a dense love network.

Originally, she was pretending to be sick, but the maids who served her actually took good care of her health.

 “Scoundrel.”

 Outside the door, the maid Cherry has already gained experience.

I no longer just stood on the porch waiting, but walked into the yard and felt the coldness from above.

Luo Yuan stood about three or four steps away from her and coughed twice.

 It’s not to remind the two people in the room, but to find something to say to the cherry next to me.

It's a pity that there are no words about spring flowers and autumn moon in his rough mind.

So I could only say a dry sentence.

 “Ah, it’s so cold today.”

Cherry glanced sideways at Luo Yuan, and then shook her head in disgust.

 It added to his impression that it was completely uninteresting.

 Then he said.

　　　"Guard Luo, please stay here by yourself, I'll go for a walk elsewhere."

If she and Li Zhu were keeping vigil together today, the two sisters could still have a heart-to-heart talk and talk.

  But with Luo Yuan, she had nothing to talk about.

 So, I left without any hesitation.

 Watching her back disappear into the corridor, Luo Yuan was confused.
