Chapter 160 Birthday Ceremony

He looked aggrieved.

So Du Jingyi asked her with a smile.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to learn because it's boring?"

"That's not true. Mr. Liu doesn't talk much but his skills are really good. I have been studying hard in the house for the past half month. I don't know how long I can learn."

Although Li Zhu was not clear about the identity of Mr. Liu, he also knew that he would not be a guard who stayed in the palace for a long time.

So I can learn as much as I can, but I am not lazy at all.

However, these words reminded Du Jingyi that after all, they would not be house sparrows staying in Sui'an City. Sooner or later, they would be eagles who would return to Cezhou.

For this reason, Du Jingyi said something.

"It takes as long as you can learn. Even you are very good now."

When Li Zhu heard this, she couldn't help but smile, with a bit of embarrassment.

"By the way, after the general comes back tonight, he will not go to the camp to train. He can rest until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. There will be a full month until the next month. Let them clean the training ground and the place where the personal guards live as soon as possible. Don't delay. yes."

Du Jingyi gave an order, and Cherry took over.

"Young madam, you forgot. You said this two days ago. Everything is ready. Even if the general comes back with thirty or fifty people, it will be enough to live in."

When she said this, Du Jingyi patted his head and said.

"People just can't be cold. When they get cold, they shrink back and lose their brains."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice raised from outside.

"Hey, you are so young and you say that your brain is not working well. Then aren't we old women stupid and stupid?"

As soon as he heard this, Du Jingyi knew that his aunt, Mrs. Xing, must be here.

So he got up and went over to meet her. Sure enough, he saw Mrs. Xing taking off her cloak and sweeping away the wind and snow. Behind her were her sister-in-law Liu and her eighth sister Xue Niang.

All three of them were smiling, and they felt like something happy was coming.

"Why is aunt here?"

"I was bored staying in the house, so I came to talk to you. Unexpectedly, I met the two of them on the way, so I came over together."

Du Jingyi looked at his elder sister-in-law Liu and eighth sister Xueniang, and asked curiously.

"The road is slippery in the snow, what's the matter?"

"Sixth sister-in-law also said that your natal sister got a big fat baby, and you didn't tell us about such a good thing."

Du Jingyi only reacted after Xue Niang "complained".

"It's not that I won't tell you, I just want to talk about it in a few days. When Brother Yun is one month old, we can go and congratulate him together."

"Brother Yun, that sounds like a good name."

Sister-in-law Liu added.

"What's your name?"

"He Qianyun."

Sister-in-law Liu also recited it twice, and then said with a smile.

"After all, I have a father who wants to take the scientific examination, so the name is elegant and nice."

"What my sister-in-law said is true, and I think it sounds good."

Mrs. Xing took it and said.

"Choosing a name is a big deal. You and your wife have to make preparations. Whether it's a brother or a sister, think about a few more and we'll pick them together when the time comes."

Du Jingyi looked at Mrs. Xing helplessly and said in a dumbfounded way.

"Aunt, it's too early. It's not even four months yet."

"It's not early, it's not early. You are sitting at home now, so you feel that the days are passing slowly. When the New Year is over and spring begins, the days will grow like your belly."

Although what she said was a bit exaggerated, it was approved by her sister-in-law Liu.

"Auntie is right."

"Okay, I'll talk to the general when he comes back today, but I'm afraid the general can't think of a good name."

"It doesn't matter, my eldest aunt is here. She has a lot of background. Thinking of a name is not easy."

"That's a good feeling."

The merchant generation is all about "knowledge". Nowadays, there are Shang Zhiping, Shang Zhihe, and Shang Zhiyin.

If she wanted to name the child in her belly, she only had to think of one word.

However, whether the surname is Shangdu or not is still a second thought, so Du Jingyi is really not in a hurry.

After sitting down, Cherry was served tea.

Xue Niang took out the things with a bit of excitement in her eyes, handed them to Du Jingyi and said.

"Sister-in-law Six, look at it quickly. This is my gift to Brother Yun. Do you think it's suitable?"

Xue Niang's nühong was taught by her sister-in-law Liu, so the stitches are fine and the colors are clear.

Du Jingyi touched the tiger head hat carefully. It looked straight but was very soft inside.

"It's suitable. You made it with your heart. It's naturally the most suitable. I'll ask Li Zhu to send it to Sister later. When the full moon comes, I'll give it to Brother Yun. It will definitely look good!"

After hearing her words, Xue Niang's eyebrows were filled with joy.

It's not in vain that she has been working so hard these past few days.

"As long as Sister-in-law Six likes it."

Just as he was talking, he saw his sister-in-law Mrs. Liu also taking out things.

You don’t know it by looking at it, but you can see what it means to be attentive.

"This is the Baijia quilt I just made. I asked Mother Ou to find the silk in it. It is warm and does not weigh down the body. It is best for children. It took me a long time to find enough rags for the quilt. It has been used by healthy and smart children, so it will definitely help your little nephew grow up healthy and healthy.”

Seeing this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but feel a sore nose.

It was obvious that they had started preparing early, and they put more effort into it than any silver worth thousands of taels.

"I don't know what to say if my sister-in-law is worried about you."

"We are a family, so there is no need to waste words."

The six brothers and their wives were worried about them, so naturally, sister-in-law Liu would not enjoy it openly without giving anything back.

She couldn't give them real money, power and wealth.

But she could still do something with some thought.

Mrs. Xing looked at them working so hard and laughed at herself.

"Oh, you embarrassed me."

Then she waved her hand, and the maid behind her handed over a box.

When she opened it, there was a set of gold and jade necklaces and bracelets and anklets.

It can be seen that the jade is of high quality and the carving is also fine, so it must be expensive.

"I don't have the dexterity of your eldest sister-in-law and Xiao Ba, and I can't do these delicate jobs, so I picked a set of collars for the child as a gift, please don't despise it."

"What are you talking about, aunt? Such a good thing is too expensive."

"For a gift to a child, the price is nothing, the heart is the best."

With one sentence, the eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang were lifted up again. Everyone was thinking about their elder sister, and Du Jingyi was very happy.

He said quickly.

"I will have someone send these things over later. When the full moon comes, I will let Brother Yun thank everyone for their kindness."
