Chapter 308: Long Time No See

The few of them chatted and laughed, and stayed at the Du family for the whole day.

It was getting dark, and Du Jingyi reluctantly took Tai Ge'er back to the general's mansion. When she left, she looked back at her parents in front of the door, and her heart was very sour.

Although her parents still looked the same, if you look closely, there are more wrinkles between their eyebrows.

Days passed, Tai Ge'er gradually grew up, and they gradually got older. I don't know if it was because of the cold weather, but it always makes people feel a little sad.

Du Jingyi sighed and didn't say anything more.

Tai Ge'er in her arms seemed to feel that his mother was not in a good mood, so he also quietly nestled in her arms, not crying or making a fuss.

There was nothing special all the way to the general's mansion.

Who knew that when she just got off the carriage, she saw someone rushing not far away. Du Jingyi looked carefully and found that it was her husband Shang Ji, whom she hadn't seen for many days. Suddenly, her sad expression became much better.

She hugged Tai Ge'er and shouted.

"General!"

"Ah."

Shang Ji finally rushed back in the cold night, and when he saw Du Jingyi and Tai Ge'er, his originally serious and resolute face melted.

He stepped forward and asked.

"But you just came back from the Du family?"

"Yes."

"I hurried and came late. I wanted to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday."

Du Jingyi asked with some surprise.

"General, do you still remember?"

"Of course I won't forget. Didn't Madam give you ninety-nine little golden pigs last year? What about this year?"

Du Jingyi stretched out his hand and lifted his son up, saying with a happy expression.

"Isn't this year's gift better than the little golden pigs?"

Shang Ji laughed when he heard it. If he wasn't too cold, he would have wanted to hug the mother and son in his arms and kiss them.

"Let's go. I'll go back and wash up before talking to you."

"Well, has the general eaten?"

"No."

"Then I'll ask Danruo to make more, and I'll accompany you to eat more."

"Okay."

The two of them had endless things to say, just like all the young couples who have been reunited after a long separation, but Tai Ge'er was a little sleepy, so he hung his head and crawled on Du Jingyi's shoulder, feeling a little sleepy.

Therefore, after returning to Xitang Courtyard, the wet nurse took him over and said with a smile.

"I'll take my brother back to sleep first, and I'll send him back tomorrow."

Although Du Jingyi also wanted the family of three to have a meal together, he also knew Tai Ge'er's habits, so he didn't delay any more, nodded and said.

"Go, be careful not to let him get cold."

"Yes, Madam."

After Tai Ge'er was taken away, the sound of washing in the side room sounded again, and the emptiness in Du Jingyi's heart was filled at once.

Sure enough, it's better for people to "live apart" less, especially for young couples like them, who really miss each other so much.

Cherry looked at her from the side, and she was also happy about her young madam's smile that she couldn't suppress. Not to mention the madam, even she was a little uncomfortable. The general had been gone for almost two months, and the whole general's mansion seemed to be missing something, and there was always something wrong.

So, she whispered.

"I'll go see how Danruo's food is doing?"

"Well, go."

Then she turned and went out, and soon, Shang Ji, who was steaming all over, came out of the side room.

Their house was renovated separately, so the ear room and the inner room are connected, but there is a door and a screen in the middle to block it, so that they will not get a headache after washing in winter.

As always, Du Jingyi took a handkerchief and wiped the water stains on Shang Ji's hair, drying it little by little. The couple enjoyed this rare comfortable day.

"I thought the general would be back in a few days."

"I have arranged almost all the things at hand, and I saw that it was my father-in-law's birthday, so I hurried back, but who knew it was still late."

"If Dad knew that the general came back specially to celebrate his birthday, he would be happy."

"We will go again tomorrow. Although it is a day late, it is always good for the family to get together."

"Yeah."

Du Jingyi appreciated Shang Ji's intentions. It is not easy for a family like them to get such attention and affirmation, so she treated Shang Ji with more care.

After a while, the food from the small kitchen was delivered.

They were all Shang Ji's favorites, and Du Jingyi's was a bowl of bird's nest soup.

"Dan Ruo said that since the young lady has already eaten, it's better not to eat too much. Just finish the bird's nest soup, so that you can sleep well."

Yingtao explained, and then took out a charcoal-grilled venison from the food box and placed it in front of Shang Ji.

When the couple saw the venison, they immediately understood the intentions of the maids, especially Shang Ji, who raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Jingyi, then raised his hand and drank the glass of wine at hand.

In an instant, the body warmed up a lot, and the eyes became a lot hotter.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi looked at Shang Ji shyly, and then laughed softly. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. Yingtao put the food away tactfully and left quietly.

The couple sat opposite each other and drank a glass each.

"It's still more comfortable at home."

Shang Ji rarely said such words. If Luo Yuan, who came back with him, heard it, he would definitely sneer. He didn't seem to have any discomfort when he was in the army, so how come he felt comfortable at home?

And Du Jingyi smiled and added.

"It's comfortable at home when the general is here."

Shang Ji smiled at her and then ate with relish.

He never doubted Dan Ruo's cooking skills, but the roasted venison was too obvious, so he ate most of the plate with rice, making his already warm body even warmer from head to toe.

"Ask your maid to come in and take it away."

"Is the general full?"

"I am full."

Then, Yingtao, who heard the noise, came in and took the things away neatly. She also lit a stick of Yueming incense, and the smell immediately warmed up the room.

The couple hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally missed each other very much.

But they had just eaten, and they didn't have any bad thoughts, so they sat under the bright window and talked.

"Have you packed everything?"

"Yes, I packed everything two days ago, waiting for the general to come back."

"That's good, tomorrow I will go to see my grandmother and go back to my father-in-law, and the day after tomorrow I will go to the palace to say goodbye to His Majesty and the Queen, and then we can set off."
