MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 598 new hope
Du Jingyi stood up and took a look outside the window. Sure enough, there was gradually some white light in the darkness.
So he found a suitable place and fell asleep peacefully in Gu Shaoyu's arms. Gu Shaoyu looked at his wife and she was very doting on her.
He also hoped to stay with his wife and children, but now was the critical moment and he could not let go of the situation at will, so after making sure that Du Jingyi was asleep, he got up and left quietly.
It was light and airy when it came, and it was quiet and breathless when it left.
By the time Du Jingyi woke up, Gu Shaoyu had already run out twenty miles away.
She took a greedy breath, as if her husband was still with her. It was a pity that she came and went in such a hurry and couldn't talk to the children and elders.
"cherry."
Du Jingyi shouted outside, and Yingtao quickly walked in, served Du Jingyi skillfully while washing and eating, and then went to the flower hall.
On the way, Du Jingyi asked in a low voice.
“When did the general leave?”
“It was just dawn, and he walked so quietly that the servants almost didn’t hear him.”
No wonder, she was in the deepest sleep at that time, so how could she hear it? Du Jingyi sighed, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do, so he didn't intend to tell the matter.
Therefore, when she arrived at the flower hall, no one knew that Gu Shaoyu had come back quietly last night, and they thought she was just lazy and slept until now.
Mrs. Du came over and looked at her face, but her face was not very good, so she asked doubtfully.
“Why are you all black and blue now? Have you not slept?”
“Mother is worried, it’s okay. I had a lot of dreams last night, so I didn’t sleep very well. I tried to catch up on some sleep this morning, but it didn’t make much difference. Isn’t this what it is?”
“I still have some tranquilizer pills over there. I’ll send them to you later. Take two pills and you’ll feel more calm when you sleep at night.”
Du Jingyi smiled and nodded, and even made a joke.
“Is it appropriate to take tranquilizer pills during the first month of the year?”
"If there is anything inappropriate, your own health is the most important thing, just eat."
"Okay, mother has the final say, I will listen to you."
Then Du Jingyi held her hand affectionately and walked towards the children. A bunch of people gathered in front of the young boy, everyone watching with great interest.
Du Jingyi was curious and leaned over, and saw that the boy was fast and agile, and he made a lot of clay dolls in one go. All of them were lifelike, and they were the children at home.
So she also asked out of curiosity.
“How do you know this craft?”
"Replying to Madam, my father has been selling clay figurine dolls since he was a child to support the family, so I followed him and learned a little bit. Originally, this thing was not on the market, but Miss Jin'er saw it and clamored for it, so the little boy I just made some, but I never thought that the young men in the family would also like it very much, so I found Butler He and found these colored clays, thinking that it would be a small blessing to make a little doll for them to play with."
“You are so humble.”
The man chuckled, and then continued to concentrate on his work.
However, his move reminded Du Jingyi of something, and then he called for Butler He and Aunt Dou. “Madam, what are your orders?”
"There are a lot of servants, maids, and wives at home. I never thought about whether they had any skills. Now that it's the New Year, I called them all to ask. There are many children in our yard. It's hard to go out. It’s not inconvenient, if there are people with the same skills as this, if they can bring fun to everyone, please be more active, and I will reward you generously.”
Hearing this, the boy holding the clay figurine immediately bent down and thanked him.
The children also clapped their hands and cheered. As for the eldest aunt, they all admired Du Jingyi.
"I also have some experience when it comes to being in charge of a job. I used to think that I was pretty good at being in charge of a job, but you only know it when you are in charge. That's called flexibility."
"It made my eldest aunt laugh. I was just thinking that there are many people in the first month of the year, and there are many children in our family. It would be unsafe if we went outside and crowded around, but it would be boring to stay at home, so we happened to meet. Just coming out like this is not worth talking about."
"You have a smart and fast mind, no matter what you do, so don't be humble."
Auntie has always loved Du Jingyi, so after hearing these words, Mrs. Du was also happy.
People say that there must be brave men under a heavy reward. Moreover, this is not a terrible thing to fight on the battlefield, so we really found a lot of "craftsmen".
Some can tie colorful balls, some can jump on leather ropes, and some can do some juggling skills. In front of adults who have seen the world, they think it's nothing.
But the children couldn't take their eyes away when they saw it, so they became more and more happy day by day.
During the period, people from the Xing family, the Guo family, the He family, and the Earl's Mansion all came to visit their relatives. They also found these things very interesting, so it can be said that the General Mansion kept each one.
Xing Zhao also knew about it when Gu Shaoyu came back.
And when he went to see the Crown Prince and Mr. Wen, he accompanied them, so the children played with the children, and Du Jingyi avoided everyone when talking to Xing Zhao.
"In three years at most, the prince will be able to achieve his great career. Then there will be another wave of bloodshed in Sui'an City. Cousin-in-law, are you ready?"
"A storm is coming, and all I can do is protect my family. As for the things outside, the general and you are the ones to worry about."
Her calmness made Xing Zhao admire her very much.
Obviously she is not a military general. She comes from a wealthy family, but she is never anxious or afraid when things happen.
"In a few days, I will go back to Wangzhou. By then, the prince will also leave. Once the rest of us leave, Sui'an City will be very boring again."
"How could it be? Has Shang Qilang's whereabouts been decided?"
“It’s decided, cousin, guess where it is?”
Looking at Xing Zhao's expression, Du Jingyi knew that he must be near Cezhou, so he sighed and said.
"In your Majesty's heart, the one you fear the most is the general, so you must be even more careful. This time when you return, your connection with Binzhou must be safe."
“Don’t worry, cousin, this Shang Qilang is a big treasure. With him here, it will be easier for us to implement our plan of concealing the truth.”
Shang Qilang and the emperor both had one goal, and that was to go to Gu Shaoyu.
So with Gu Shaoyu drawing firepower from the front, the plans of Fenzhou and the Crown Prince can be carried out faster. When the time comes to draw firepower from the bottom of the cauldron, the emperor will definitely be caught off guard and regret it too late!
