Chapter 128 Birthday Gift

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 and see. I didn't think it was delicious before. Now it tastes delicious."

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 be dried naturally, and fruits are used together, so it is a little sweeter.

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 the teacher!"

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, just 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 thought 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 send them to my father-in-law in person to make amends."

"No, no, no, no need to bother my 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 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 watch.

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, somehow the topic came up about 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, and 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 inside.

Although it was only the northern boundary that was mentioned, the business in the south should also be careful.

Once the agricultural products are affected by the disaster, it means that the prices of many things will also rise.

How to adjust the balance between the two places and make a profit from it is something that the Du family, or Du Jingyi, should think about more.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi's face became more serious.

"Don't worry, Daddy, your daughter will arrange it properly."

"That's good."

After all, the matter involves the secrets of the Du family, so the two did not say it too transparently.

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

Judging from the Du family's business situation, they must be very sensitive to the market. It's just that Luoxue was a few days earlier, and they could also associate this series of things. It seems that the judgment will not be wrong.

But Cezhou may not be able to make such preparations.

So I thought of sending a letter to let the local officials and generals pay more attention to the livelihoods of the people.

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

But the people of Cezhou depend on those few things, and they can't afford any mistakes.

Thinking about it, I felt that I should go back and ask the lady for advice.

After all, with her intelligence, maybe she can come up with a good solution for the people of Cezhou.

They can live a little better, and there won't be hungry people who need relief every year.

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