Chapter 35 Choosing an Auspicious Day

They went to prepare their own things, one to prepare hot water, the other to find elixirs.

After thinking about it, Madam Cai went to find Madam Dou.

Although it was better to be affectionate with the young lady, the general was too harsh.

Let's ask Madam Dou if there is any good way to make the young lady pregnant as soon as possible and make the general gentler.

The three of them left the yard, and soon Du Jingyi woke up.

Looking at the bright sky outside, it was clear that it was almost noon.

With a sigh, he said self-deprecatingly.

"This body is too weak."

Then, looking at the wrinkled bed, he shook his head.

Then he got up and took the underwear, put it on himself first, and then shouted to the outside.

"Cherry."

When Cherry came back with the medicine, she happened to hear this voice and immediately pushed the door open.

"Madam, are you awake?"

"Yes, is it past noon?"

"It's already noon."

Noon?

Du Jingyi was shocked that she could sleep until this hour, and she was even more angry at the culprit.

At the moment, she was still wearing clothes, so it was not so embarrassing.

But if she went to take a bath and change clothes, it would be embarrassing.

Yingtao put away the white brocade that had been laid out on the bed and put it in a box.

This thing was something that Cai's mother had repeatedly told her to keep, so she had to keep it well.

Du Jingyi pretended not to see it, otherwise it would be embarrassing again.

Yingtao was making the bed, and Lizhu also walked in from outside.

After seeing that her young lady seemed to have lost all her energy and spirit in just one night, she was very worried.

She hurried forward and said.

"Madam, the hot water is ready. Do you want to eat something first or take a bath first?"

Du Jingyi had been very busy last night, and her stomach was already empty.

If she went to soak now, she would probably faint.

So she said to Lizhu.

"Let's eat first. I'm hungry."

"Okay, I'll go get it now. Danruo has been steaming it in a small steamer."

"Okay."

After saying this, Lizhu bowed and left.

When Yingtao had made the bed, Lizhu and Danruo also came over with food boxes.

Danruo was smiling, showing a very good mood.

Now everyone in Xitang Courtyard knew that their young lady and the general had consummated their marriage.

As a result, the maids who came as dowry were much more confident.

So she stepped forward and said.

"Young Madam, please drink some soup first. This is the pigeon and bird's nest soup that the general specially asked me to stew before he left this morning. It is the best for boosting qi and replenishing blood."

Boosting qi and replenishing blood? !

Du Jingyi was really angry and embarrassed when she heard these four words.

However, the three people in front of her were maids who had been with her for many years, so her anger was over in a moment.

She couldn't resist the temptation of the glutton in her stomach, so she said "hmm" and opened the lid of the white porcelain cup.

Dan Ruo's cooking skills are naturally good.

In addition, Du Jingyi was really hungry, so the white porcelain cup was empty in a short while.

There were also some side dishes, which she ate almost all of.

After eating, Du Jingyi felt alive again.

She wanted to take a bath now, but she had just eaten a full meal.

If she went at this moment, she would feel very uncomfortable.

So she took a soft pillow and put it on her back, then leaned on the kang under the bright window to rest for a while.

There were a few books on the table for Du Jingyi to read.

But at this moment, she was not very interested.

So she called Yingtao and asked.

"Have you put away the box you brought back yesterday?"

"Don't worry, Madam, I have put it away. It is in the camphorwood box. I also specially added a lock. It must be safe."

She said it seriously, and Du Jingyi felt relieved.

But it is not safe to keep this box in the Duke's Mansion. We still have to find a good place.

So Du Jingyi began to think about it.

However, before the matter had entered his mind for a long time, he heard someone coming outside.

Madam Cai walked in with a happy face, followed by Madam Dou.

She had also heard about the consummation of the marriage between the general and the young lady a long time ago, so naturally the smile on her face did not fall.

When she saw Du Jingyi, she greeted with curved eyebrows and said.

"I congratulate the young lady. I think it won't be long before our East Garden, oh no, the General's Mansion, will have a baby. This is a great event that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time. If the lady knew about it, she would definitely be very happy."

Madame Dou's eyes were filled with tears when she said this.

The people present could understand her feelings. After all, Shang Ji was a military general, and it was really too embarrassing for him to have no wife at this age.

However, this made Du Jingyi feel a little pressured.

After all, they just talked about the birth of the child.

It's a bit too early to say it.

So, she just smiled and said.

"In two days, I will go to burn incense for my mother-in-law."

"Okay, okay, the young lady is thoughtful. If the lady is still alive, she will definitely like you!"

Madame Dou was originally a little strict.

After all, she has to manage the East Garden. If she is kind-hearted and soft-handed, I'm afraid she can't control her subordinates well.

Therefore, it was the first time for the maids to see Madam Dou with such an expression.

They looked at each other and smiled.

Aunt Dou came today, partly to congratulate her, and partly because she had other things to talk about.

So he opened his mouth.

"The general told me a few days ago that I asked you to choose a few famous Taoist priests to check out the auspicious days. Now I have selected a few days. I also asked the young lady to take a look and see when we are scheduled to move out. good?"

Then he handed over the list with the auspicious date written on it.

Du Jingyi took it and took a look. The closest one was on the 26th of next month, and the latest one was on February 18th of next year.

The rest are the days mixed in between these two days.

On the 26th of next month, it will only take one month to make a full calculation.

If there is no need for much repairs in the General's Mansion, it would be better to move out as soon as possible.

But if we need to move some bricks and mortar, I’m afraid it won’t be until February next year.

After thinking about it, Du Jingyi said.

"For a while, I couldn't make a choice. How about waiting for the key to the general's mansion to be delivered, and let's go to the mansion to have a look before making plans. I also told the general a few days ago that I must give it to my sister-in-law. Ping'er and Bamei's yards need to be tidied up."

When Grandma Dou heard this, she nodded quickly and said.

"The young lady is very considerate. I know this."

Then Du Jingyi said again.

"On the contrary, this matter of masons must be something that Mother Dou has to worry about. I didn't have much contact with it when I was at my parents' house, so I really don't know much about it."
