My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Regardless of anything else, just saying that he does not treat others differently is worthy of respect.

Therefore, when Du Jingyi looked at Mr. Du Qi for a few moments today, it was rare for Du Jingyi to show his goodwill.

It's a pity that Mr. Du Qi doesn't have any trouble with anyone, so that's all.

After lunch, everyone in the General's Mansion went back first, leaving Du Jingyi alone in the Du family to talk to his parents and sister.

In Minser Courtyard.

Although Du Jingxiang was happy, he couldn't help but sigh.

The days of reunion with you are getting shorter and shorter each day. My father-in-law and mother-in-law plan to leave for their hometown in Pingzhou in three days. As for my husband, my husband, and Brother Yun, we will also leave in the next two nights. I don’t know when I will come back again in the future.”

With the He family's identity and ability, it is not difficult to settle in Sui'an City, but their ancestors have lived in Pingzhou for generations, so they will not have to move away for the sake of their daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, the Du family couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

I mean, I shouldn't have let you marry someone so far away. In the past, I could bear it less often, but now that the excitement around us has suddenly disappeared, it's really heart-breaking and uncomfortable.

What Madam said is true, but if Shilin has the ability to pass the imperial examination, we may have a chance to get together again.

Hearing this, Du Jingxiang's eyes lit up.

It's not that her parents-in-law were not good to her, so she looked forward to returning to her parents' home to live with her parents.

But she is used to enjoying her parents' love. She can always be a delicate daughter in the Du family, but she must be a steady and considerate daughter-in-law in her husband's family.

Then I really want to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and to beg my husband. To be honest, my daughter is used to being at home these days, and she really can't bear to leave.

After hearing this, Du Jingyi said jokingly.

I see that my brother-in-law is more reluctant to leave home than my sister. Seeing that he eats three big bowls of food every day, you can tell that the cook at home has a big appetite for him.

Her opening made everyone laugh.

All of a sudden, the originally melancholy atmosphere diluted a lot.

Their parents and sisters gathered together and cherished the days of laughing and playing like this. In the yard at the other end, the luggage of the two elders of the He family had almost been packed.

When He Shilin sent them back, he could see clearly that there were some things in his heart that he didn't know how to say, for fear of disappointing his parents. Wouldn't that be unfilial?

Unfortunately, the second elder was immersed in the joy of finally bringing his fat grandson home to worship his ancestors, but he did not notice the uneasiness in his son's heart.

So he gave instructions when he opened his mouth.

Your father and I will go back first to arrange the ancestor worship. When you come back later, we can proceed smoothly. With the blessing of our ancestors, now Brother Yun has taken care of my worries. When your results come out, we will definitely It can also bring honor to the head of the family.

After Mrs. He's wife said this, Mr. He's master took it over smoothly.

I asked my father before I came here. The government office in Pingzhou is short of manpower. If you can go to high school, you will most likely be back to your place of origin. When the time comes, you will become our local parent officer, and your parents will look good. Son, you, your daughter-in-law, and Brother Yun can live a decent and nourishing life.

The He family still needs land and shops in Pingzhou.

If He Shilin really becomes an official, then their family will live a very comfortable life, which is naturally incomparable with the nobles in Sui'an City, but in Pingzhou, they are also enviable.

Hearing this, He Shilin felt very sad for a moment.

Obviously I was well prepared before entering the examination room, but why did I feel as if I had no ink in my mind when I got the dossier in my hands, and I don't know exactly what I wrote in such a rudimentary manner.

If I fail this time, wouldn’t it disappoint my parents, wife, and children?

I sighed deeply in my heart, but I didn't know how to speak.

Knowing a son is better than a father, the master of the He family noticed that his son was a little depressed, and wondered if they were too excited, so the pressure was on his son, so he turned away the conversation in a few words.

Don't put too much pressure on me. There are only a handful of people who can go to high school this time. If it doesn't work, come back next time. Anyway, you don't have to worry about your family. You just have to study hard.

After hearing this, He Shilin's sadness did not diminish much, and he still blamed himself very much.

But before the results came out, he was still looking forward to some chance to change his fate, so he followed his father's words and said.

My son is fine. As my father said, if it doesn't work out, I will come back.

Hearing this, Mrs. He's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly recited the blessings of her ancestors secretly several times!

But he still had to appear very calm on his face, as if he agreed with what his husband and son said.

When the two elders of the He family said goodbye and returned to Pingzhou, the begonia flowers in the general's mansion were in full bloom.

In response to Du Jingyi's preference, various varieties of crabapples were planted in a large area in the back hill of the mansion, and they were carefully arranged, so flower viewing and gardening had a unique charm.

In the Zui Chun Pavilion, Mrs. Gu and others were all smiling, feeling as if they had seen all the flowers in Chang'an.

Looking at the ice sculptures and snowscapes in winter, and admiring the colorful begonia flowers in spring, I'm a little curious about what summer and autumn will be like in the General's Mansion.

When the fourth aunt said this, she looked at Du Jingyi with admiration, seeing that despite her young age, she was very good at cleaning up the mansion.

She also attended many banquets in Jinling City, so the garden was not uncommon.

But this is the first one that is so beautiful and has ulterior motives, especially in Sui'an City.

Originally, this place was a little colder than Jinling City, so the flowers and plants were not that lush. However, the mansion had many talented gardeners who made the entire courtyard beautiful and spacious, making people feel comfortable and happy to live there.

Du Jingyi also smiled when he heard his fourth aunt's praise.

Mrs. Gu turned her head and saw her indifference, and her hand was always on her belly, stroking it gently.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu also asked with loving eyes.

But the delivery date is next month?

Yes, but Dr. Wang is saying that children can come early or late, so my granddaughter-in-law can be prepared, just in case.

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu also nodded.

When I gave birth to their children, there were early and late births. Maybe it was in that month. If they were born in April, this child is destined to be your grandfather.

Du Jingyi asked curiously.

Grandpa was also born in April?

Well, April 22.
