My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

If the couple is not in love, then it may be more difficult to conceive a child.

But based on the hard work of their general, it has been almost two months and there has been no movement.

Coupled with the urge from the Queen today, Du Jingyi still felt a little anxious.

Shang Ji had been watching her, so he would not miss the thoughts in her eyes.

So, while everyone was walking forward, he deliberately stayed a few steps and whispered into Du Jingyi's ear.

I'm not in a hurry, so don't be in a hurry either.

in a hurry?

Du Jingyi looked at his husband confused, but he soon understood.

He lowered his head and smiled, feeling as warm as spring in his heart.

At the dinner table, Du Jingxiang specially twisted a few pieces of sausage and handed them to his sister, with a slightly expectant expression on his face.

Try it, I didn't think it before, but now it tastes like a worldly delicacy.

Her compliment made Du Jingyi even more curious, so he actually took a bite.

The meat is firm and has a slight smoky flavor, but not too much.

It seems to have been dried naturally, and fruits were used to put it together, so it has a bit more sweetness.

After eating two or three pieces in a row, Du Jingyi put down his chopsticks and said.

When Aunt He comes, I will definitely send Dan Ruo over to steal her!

Although the words didn't say anything delicious, the meaning still made Du Jingxiang and He Shilin smile and roll their eyes.

I just said, the sausages made by my mother-in-law are very delicious.

Yes, yes, if it tastes good, eat more. Look at how thin you have become after being tortured by children these days.

He Shilin looked at his wife distressedly, but what he said made several people present unable to resist.

Thin?

He must have put on some weight!

When I came here a few days ago, I was skinny and ugly, but now my face is plump and my body is a little swollen.

Especially the belly, which is simply bulging with the wind. If the clothes were not loose, it would be even more obvious.

So Du Jingyi snickered and said.

Brother-in-law will definitely be in high school next year.

Why?

Because what he said was really high-level!

Hearing her teasing words, everyone laughed.

The Dus were naturally happy to see their eldest daughter and son-in-law being so loving.

However, such a fuss made Du Jingxiang blush again.

They were all going to be mothers, but she still looked like a shy daughter.

But Du Jingyi felt that this was very good.

She hoped that her sister would not have to endure any hardships in her life, and that she could live her life peacefully and happily.

The time spent eating at Du's house always flies by.

Shang Ji had nothing to do today, so he also stayed with Du's house to chat with everyone.

As he was talking, he realized that today was actually his father-in-law’s birthday!

No wonder my father-in-law had a bowl of longevity noodles during the meal just now.

At that time, Shang Ji thought that his father-in-law liked to eat pasta, but he didn't expect it. He really didn't expect it.

So he stood up with a guilty look on his face and said in a tone of apology.

My son-in-law didn't know that today is my father-in-law's birthday, so he came here empty-handed. It's my fault. I will definitely prepare gifts when I get back and personally deliver them to my father-in-law to apologize.

No, no, no, no, please don't bother me, second uncle. I don't like to celebrate birthdays with great fanfare. I don't want to overdo it and let the gods in the sky see it and become jealous of me. What should I do?

Besides, didn't the family just have a lively meal? There is no need for any special gifts.

Master Du said this kindly, but Shang Ji felt it was inappropriate. In the end, it was Du Jingyi who persuaded him.

General, don't worry. I sent you a birthday gift a few days ago. Daddy likes it very much.

When it comes to this birthday gift, everyone is dumbfounded.

Du Jingyi didn't know whether he was sincere or joking, but he actually ordered ninety-nine little golden pigs to be made and sent to Mr. Du as a congratulatory gift.

They are all very naive, and they also reveal some clear stupidity.

The people of the Du family remember clearly that when they opened the box, their eyes were almost blinded by the little golden pig.

It really lives up to the saying: glittering wealth.

Shang Ji didn't know that his wife had already sent a congratulatory gift, but it was better than nothing.

So I didn't say anything more, just sat aside and just listened quietly to their gossip.

Suddenly, I remembered my father's birthday party a few days ago. The occasion was just a show for others to see.

No one ate or drank well, and no one congratulated me sincerely.

In contrast, although my father-in-law's birthday banquet was simple, it was comfortable, peaceful and warm.

Families get together, eat delicious food, and talk about interesting topics.

This is the atmosphere that a birthday should have.

Unknowingly, Shang Ji also quietly integrated into the atmosphere of the Du family.

Although he doesn't like to talk, every time his family calls on him or asks about something, he can always answer it calmly and generously.

Therefore, everyone in the Du family knew him a lot more.

As they were talking, for some reason, the topic came to Dongxue, and Mr. Du mentioned it in a well-founded way.

The snow has fallen early this winter, so spring will probably come early next year. The crops on the northern border of our home are probably going to be affected, so we have to find a way to appease the farmers.

Master Du seemed to be an unintentional reminder, but Du Jingyi was keenly aware of the meaning.

He said that although he only mentioned the land boundary in the north, businesses in the south should also be careful.

Once crops are affected, it means that the prices of many things will also rise accordingly.

How to mobilize the balance between the two places and make profits is something that the Du family, or Du Jingyi, needs to think more about.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi looked quite serious.

Don't worry, dad, my daughter will make arrangements for herself.

That's good.

After all, the matter involved the secrets of the Du family, so the two of them did not make their words too transparent.

But the father and daughter just chatted, but Shang Ji next to them also started to think about it.

Judging from the business situation of the Du family, they must be very keen on the market. It's just that Luoxue was a few days early and he could think of this series of things. It seems that his judgment is not wrong.

But Cezhou may not have such preparations.

So I came up with the idea of ​​sending a letter to let the local officials and generals pay more attention to the people's livelihood.

They are in Sui'an City, so there is no need to worry at the emperor's feet.

But the people of Cezhou are counting on the livelihood of those three melons and two dates, and there is no room for any mistakes.

After thinking about it, I thought it would be better to ask my wife for advice when I go back.

After all, with her intelligence, she might be able to come up with some good ideas for the people of Cezhou.

We can live a more or less prosperous life, and we won’t have hungry people in need of relief every year.

It wasn't until sunset that the two of them had dinner before returning to the Duke's Mansion.
