Chapter 157 The He Family
Mrs. Du did not expect that her youngest daughter would come despite the wind and snow, so she was not prepared.
Then he said to Helin a little apologetically.
"I'll ask my mother-in-law to watch over here first, and I'll take Tangtang and his wife over to talk for a while."
"You can go in peace. If Xiangxiang wakes up, I will send someone to tell you."
Aunt He patted her chest and assured her that she was not a careless woman, and that her daughter-in-law worked so hard, so she should take care of her.
Mrs. Du nodded, and then took Du Jingyi out of the door.
As soon as he went out, he saw his second uncle Shang Ji standing in the yard. There was already a lot of falling snow on his body, and he felt cold just looking at it.
So he hurriedly waved and said.
"Let's go to Minse Courtyard first. It's so cold that we'll be in trouble if we freeze."
Shang Ji, who is made of steel and iron, once slept in the suburbs all day and night when there was a heavy snowstorm in Cezhou.
Therefore, this bit of wind and frost is like drizzle to him, it just looks cold.
Du Jingyi was also heartbroken. Didn't he tell him to wait in the side room?
Why are you standing still in the heavy snow?
Seeing them coming out, Shang Ji quickly walked over in two steps.
"My son-in-law has met my mother-in-law."
"Let's go, your father and the others are waiting in the Minse Courtyard."
"Um."
Shang Ji patted the snow on her body and wanted to step forward and hug Du Jingyi away, but she felt that it was not good to be too intimate in front of her mother.
So he waved his hands secretly and said something specifically.
"Let me hold my mother's arm. It will be safer to walk this way."
"Okay, Cherry should also support Miss Dian and be careful when she falls."
"Yes, ma'am."
Seeing that he couldn't get in, Shang Ji didn't say much more. He walked silently behind the three of them, but his eyes carefully followed Du Jingyi's every step.
Fortunately, there is a connecting corridor between Quxi Courtyard and Mingse Courtyard, so there was no chance of heavy snow falling all the way there.
It's just that because of Du Jingyi's body, he walked a little slower. Normally, he could get there with just a cup of tea, so he just delayed it for a while.
When we entered the main room of Minse Courtyard, the warmth was overwhelming.
The maids came over with hot water handkerchiefs and wiped everyone's hands, and took off their cloaks.
When Mr. Du saw Du Jingyi, he was still talking to others, but he stood up with a surprised look on his face and asked.
"Why are you here? You're not afraid of such heavy snow..."
The word "accident" was on his lips, so Mr. Du quickly stopped. He couldn't talk casually at this time.
Du Jingyi also felt a little helpless.
When her parents saw her, the first words they spoke were this, as if it was inappropriate for her to come here this time.
But he also knew that it was all for her own good, so he walked forward and said with a smile.
"I miss you daddy."
"Nonsense, I obviously want to see your nephew!"
After saying this, the father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, but did not pay attention to the brother-in-law He Shilin and his father who were still standing next to them.
Mr. Du was not someone who ignored people, so he quickly introduced them.
"To make my father-in-law laugh, this is the young daughter Jingyi, and that is her husband-in-law, the young prince of the Duke of Shang's palace, and your Majesty's personal general."
Then he said to the couple.
"I just met your Aunt He. Come on, this is your Uncle He. They just came from Pingzhou a few days ago."
It's a snowy day and it's not easy to walk on the road.
Obviously they were more than half a month ahead of schedule, because they were worried that their daughter-in-law would be born early and delay the time to catch up.
Who knew it was still more than ten days late, but fortunately, I still caught up with the birth of my grandson.
Therefore, Uncle He looked happy, tall and thin, as if he was a Taoist master.
"Hello Uncle He."
Du Jingyi called him sweetly, while Shang Ji, who was standing next to him, cupped his fists and shouted calmly.
"uncle."
This was the first time Uncle He saw Shang Ji and Du Jingyi, and his reaction was exactly the same as his son's.
The He family was an ordinary family, but Shang Ji was a majestic general, so he immediately stood up and replied.
"Don't dare to take it, don't take it. The general's reputation spreads far and wide. We are also well-known in Pingzhou. I didn't expect to see a real person today."
Master Du asked with a smile.
"How is it? How is my second uncle better than you imagined?"
Hubofu paused for a moment before speaking.
"It's comparable to Master Guan being alive."
After hearing this, Mr. Du and everyone present laughed. It was also Shang Ji who didn't have a beard, otherwise his big beard would have added a little more pride to him.
"By the way, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. My brother-in-law is Xi Tilin'er. How is it? Are you so happy that you can't even open your mouth from ear to ear?"
Du Jingyi said jokingly.
He Shilin was still a little confused at this moment. Although his wife was ten months pregnant, he had already been prepared for it.
But when the child actually landed on the ground and was held in his hands, he still didn't react, so he smiled, touched his head and said.
"Happy, but also a little confused."
"Look at my stupid son, he's already a father and he's still confused?"
Uncle He was cheerful and loved to joke, so even if Shang Ji was present, he could talk happily and not be very reserved.
With him here, the Du family is a lot more lively.
Mr. Du is well-informed and Uncle He is funny and talkative. With the two of them around, the place is never cold.
Mrs. Du saw that the men were discussing some external matters, so she stood up and said.
"Tangtang and the second uncle came in a hurry. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare more dishes. We finally got together. We must have a few more drinks today to liven things up."
Hearing her say this, Du Jingyi also stood up and walked over.
"Then I'll go with my mother to take a look. How about setting up something in the flower hall?"
"Okay, let's go."
Knowing that the mother and daughter had something to say, Shang Ji didn't follow them.
After sitting down, she listened carefully to her father-in-law's words, and occasionally added a few words. The atmosphere was warm.
The Du family used floor heating, so it didn't feel cold at all sitting in the flower hall.
If the greenhouse hadn't been built yet, I'm afraid the two would go inside to talk.
Mrs. Du helped her daughter sit down with a little distress and said.
"Your baby is not yet fully seated, and you are still thinking about running home in the heavy snow. You can come after the Chinese New Year. It won't make a difference in one or two days."
"After the Chinese New Year? My nephew is already a month old. It's not appropriate for me to come. Don't think too much, mother. I'm fine. Besides, I have the general with me. There's nothing to worry about."
"Why did he come with you today? Didn't he say he was training in the camp?"
Mrs. Du knew a little about her son-in-law, so she asked right away.
"Mother, you may have forgotten because you are so busy. Today is the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the auspicious day for the general's mansion to move."
Hearing this, Mrs. Du slapped her head.
Sisters, I saw your messages.
I will explain here why everyone feels that the content updated last night is repeated?
It's because I revised the content of the previous 150 chapters, and then the content was expanded, so it was postponed a little.
If you have time, you can go back and check it out, and you will find new content~
However, it was indeed due to personal issues that I had to revise it, which resulted in an extra three chapters of subscription fees.
I don’t know how to get it back, so I will make up for it by making up for it!
I owed you 6 chapters before, and I added it to 3 chapters.
That is, 1 chapter was 2k before, and now 1 chapter is 4k.
In this way, everyone is equivalent to spending 3 chapters to read 6 chapters.
Is this method OK?
If it is OK, then I will make up for it starting from tomorrow, 4k per day, for 3 consecutive days~~~
