Chapter 295: Suppressing the Bandits

Her words comforted Shang Ji a lot.

He naturally understood Du Jingyi's intentions, so he hugged her and didn't say anything more.

In the following days, Shang Ji always asked her if she had her period.

He asked her three or two times every day, which made Du Jingyi feel that he was a little too anxious, but he was more indifferent.

It was not until the seventh day when Du Jingyi really had her period that Shang Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he began to calculate according to the book, remembering every day when he could have sex but it was difficult to conceive.

Although the two of them had some nonsense, they had always spent it peacefully.

The autumn rain fell, and it was the season of harvest for all things.

At this time last year, Du Jingyi was still worried about her situation in the Duke's Mansion. Who knew that now she has become the envy of everyone.

The elders cherish her, the couple loves each other, and the son is smart and well-behaved.

When she woke up from her nap again, she saw her husband lying quietly beside her. For a moment, she felt that the years were peaceful.

"If Madam keeps looking, I'm afraid I'll blush."

His sudden words embarrassed Du Jingyi for a moment, and then she gently hit him and said.

"General, why don't you say anything when you wake up?"

"Isn't this the moment when Madam covets my beauty? How about it, are you satisfied with what you see?"

Du Jingyi opened her mouth slightly, and then said.

"General, where did you learn this brothel-style sentence? It was not so improper before!"

Shang Ji smiled, and then hugged her in his arms and said.

"Aren't you going back to Jinling City in a few days? When I resigned from the emperor, I agreed that the affairs of the Tiger Guards would be arranged in the next two months, so I guess I won't have much time to come back. So I'll say something to make you happy first, and then tell you this news, maybe you will feel more comfortable."

The couple has basically not been apart since last year, so Shang Ji is afraid that Du Jingyi will be a little upset if he doesn't go home for two months.

"Can't come back for a moment?"

"Probably, because the emperor arranged for me to take the brothers of the Tiger Guards to the surrounding hills to suppress bandits, so..."

"Suppress bandits? Isn't this the job of the City Defense Department? How did it fall to the Tiger Guards?"

The division of military positions in the Daxing Dynasty is still very clear. The Capital Division is responsible for all security activities in the city, the City Defense Department is responsible for all security activities outside the city, and the Tiger Guards are mainly responsible for marching and fighting, as well as the responsibility of defending the status quo when necessary.

To use the Tiger Guards to suppress bandits is really a bit of a waste of talent.

After all, the bandits these days are just dozens or hundreds of people gathering here to make trouble for a few days. They are not well-equipped or well-strategized.

Shang Ji said with a smile.

"When I resigned that day, I happened to meet His Majesty scolding the commander of the City Defense Department for not being able to deal with the bandits, so this task fell on me."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi could only sigh and said.

"Then the general must be careful."

"I know, it will take less than half a month to clean up the mess."

Du Jingyi knew Shang Ji's ability, so she didn't give him too many instructions.

After having dinner with the family, Shang Ji left with his guards.

This time, they will not see each other for at least a month. Du Jingyi felt a little reluctant, but she could only endure it in front of her country. This is the helplessness of them as military families.

Mrs. Gu saw the worry in her eyes, so she comforted her.

"People who are on the march and fighting cannot stay at home every day to live a comfortable life. You must also learn to relieve yourself, otherwise there will be many such times in the future."

"Thank you for your comfort, grandma, I know."

The autumn rain continued to fall, and everything seemed to have returned to the past.

However, unlike last year, Du Jingyi had a little kid by his side, and the days with Tai Ge'er accompanying him were not difficult to endure. In the blink of an eye, September came.

These days, Du Jingyi has been busy.

The autumn harvest has produced results, and naturally, accounts have to be delivered everywhere, so Du Jingyi does not have so much time to accompany his son, and Mrs. Gu and the fourth aunt took the initiative to take on this responsibility, taking Tai Ge'er to play in the yard every day.

Fortunately, the yard of the general's mansion is large enough. Today, you can watch the fish and tomorrow, you can enjoy the maple leaves. Even if you don't go out, it will take several days to visit the scenery in the general's mansion.

Therefore, they are not worried.

Tai Ge'er also grew up rapidly in these days, from a meatball who could only rely on others to sit up, to a meatball who could sit independently and liked to dance.

That afternoon, after Tai Ge'er woke up, Mrs. Gu took him to the garden in the back mountain to sit and play.

The pavilion here is high, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire back mountain, and there is a pond in front of it, where some rice field fish are raised. The ornamental value is average, but the taste is excellent.

Tai Ge'er is worthy of being Du Jingyi's son. Since he started to eat complementary food, his mouth has become picky. His favorite is the fish porridge made with rice field fish. It is not only sweet, but also very nourishing.

After adding complementary food, Tai Ge'er's hands and feet gradually became stronger.

Fourth aunt had someone custom-made a hollow wooden sword for Taige'er to play with. It was a lot lighter and was originally intended just for him to show off, but after playing with it for a while, he actually learned how to play with it without any instruction.

That look and that move made the fourth aunt very happy.

Because when the fourth son of the Gu family was still alive, he traveled the world with a big sword, so when she saw Tai Ge'er's performance, she felt quite comforted, as if she saw her husband's reincarnation.

"If your mother saw it, she would say that the fourth grandmother was making trouble again, so, while she is not here, chop a few more times."

After hearing this, Tai Ge'er seemed to understand something, holding the wooden sword and chopping here and there, which was very interesting.

It made Mrs. Gu laugh non-stop, and the eldest sister-in-law Liu on the side also said lively.

"Why don't we make a set of swords, spears, swords and halberds for Tai Ge'er, let this kid choose what he likes, and study what he likes in the future."

Her suggestion made Mrs. Gu and the fourth aunt's eyes light up, and they thought it was very good.

So the fourth aunt stood up and spoke.

"This is easy. I'll find someone to make the things. But I'm afraid that this set of swords, spears, swords and halberds may not be made in two months. I can only wait for them to return from Jinling City and bring them. Alas, it's a pity."

I don't know if it's because of the weather or the virus recently. People in my family are getting sick one after another. I'm the worst. I've been sick for half a month. Taking medicine is basically useless. I rely on injections to relieve the symptoms. So I'm more uncertain about the update. After coding this chapter, I have to go to the hospital again. I will continue writing after I come back. Sorry, sisters, when I get better, I will adjust the time to restore the previous early morning update, and I will also give you more benefits. Sorry again!
