Chapter 82 Getting Close
Du Jingyi slept very soundly. If it weren't for the noisy noises outside that bothered her, she would have to sleep for another hour to recover.
She felt a little pain in her lower body, and this pain and the stickiness of her body made her face flushed and her ears hot.
If she had known earlier, she would not have had a drink with her husband. In the end, she was often the only one who was "hurt".
When she got up and didn't see her satisfied husband, Du Jingyi realized that today was the day to return to the military camp.
She couldn't help but cursed angrily.
"You know there's something going on today, but you're still making trouble. Aren't you afraid that your legs will be laughed at by the soldiers!"
But even though she cursed, there was still a little sweetness in her heart.
At least the couple's life is harmonious, which is very important.
Just thinking about it, she heard some noise outside.
She hated it most when others disturbed her when she was sleeping, which made her feel a little restless.
So she took the inner clothes in the corner and dressed neatly, then she raised her voice to the outside.
"Cherry."
"I'm here."
Soon, the maid Cherry came in hurriedly.
As soon as the door of the main room opened, the voice that was originally not very clear outside came in.
"Sixth brother's wife is awake, let us in, let's go in and talk!"
As soon as she heard this voice, she knew it was Wu Lang's wife. As for the "we", it naturally also included Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Ni, and Shang Qiniang.
It can be said that the women of the fifth room arrived in a relatively complete manner today.
Lizhu and Cai Mama took the lead in blocking the door, saying that they would not let them in.
Their faces were not very good, and they really didn't like the unruly people in the fifth room at all.
Cherry closed the door immediately after entering, and also inserted the bolt.
When she walked into the bedroom, she saw the bed and understood what happened last night.
Both the master and the servant had experienced things, so after a little embarrassment, they let it go.
This kind of situation will probably happen frequently in the future, so just get used to it.
So Yingtao took a coat and put it on Du Jingyi, and said angrily.
"Madam, the women of the fifth room are here, and now they are blocking the door and insisting on coming in. It's simply... rude."
Yingtao was so shameless that she wanted to say it, but considering that this was the Duke's Mansion, not their Du family, she still restrained herself a little.
Then she poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Du Jingyi.
After her mouth and stomach felt warm, Du Jingyi's mood improved a little.
She was so sticky that she was going to take a bath, but now these uninvited guests came and interrupted her plan.
But after the layout came to this point, she couldn't really leave, so she suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said to Yingtao.
"Go tell Madam Cai to take them to the flower hall first. I'll go there after I'm done packing."
"Yes, Madam."
Outside the house, Wulang's wife was "bellying". The whole Duke's Mansion knew that she was pregnant, so with her blocking the way, Lizhu and the others couldn't force it.
Seeing Yingtao coming out, Wulang's wife rushed to ask.
"What's the matter? Sixth brother's wife wants to see us?"
"Madam said that everyone from the fifth room should move to the flower hall. She will come later."
"No, we are all here, let's talk inside. There are women around, and there is nothing shameful."
It must be said that Wulang's wife is really a sticky candy. She can't get rid of anyone she sticks to.
But Yingtao is a first-class maid beside Du Jingyi, and she has served in this East Garden for several years.
The ability to send people away is still a bit of experience.
So she said with a fake smile.
"Please forgive me, Madam Wu. It was the general who told us not to disturb her rest when he left this morning. Your sudden visit has already woken her up. If you force your way in again... I'm afraid it will be inappropriate."
Except for Shang Qiniang, the other three people present have all experienced life.
Naturally, they understand what Yingtao means.
They told her not to disturb her rest. It seems that this young couple is really in love.
Thinking of this, Wulang's wife didn't ask for more.
She covered her face and mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Yingtao with an expression of "I know, I know".
"Okay, Miss Yingtao said it earlier. We will go to the flower hall and wait for you. Let the sixth brother's wife clean up."
After that, she led the others to the flower hall like the master of the East Garden.
She looked familiar with the place, as if she lived here.
Mother Cai was afraid that they would have other problems, so she followed them step by step.
Yingtao and Lizhu turned around, fetching water and making the bed, and started to clean up.
Du Jingyi used a clean towel to wring out water and wiped off the stickiness on her body, and then asked Lizhu to put her hair up.
Today, she saved some hair oil, and soon the bun stood up firmly.
Du Jingyi used a few hairpins with crabapple branches to hold her hair down, changed into a pink brocade dress, and then she was dressed up.
What she wanted most now was to lie in the bathtub and have a good rest, but there was no way, the fish had been hooked, so she couldn't help but pull the line back.
Lizhu was fast, and hurriedly brought a bowl of bird's nest milk soup from the small kitchen.
She handed it to Du Jingyi, and then said with heartache.
"Madam, eat some to fill your stomach first. Who knows how long those people will stay? Don't starve yourself."
Du Jingyi was touched and took it and slowly ate a small bowl.
It must be said that when there is food in the stomach, the mood will be better.
At this moment, she was not as irritable as before, so she said to Li Zhu.
"You are still smart."
The maid Li Zhu smiled, as if I think so too.
"Let's go and see what they are trying to get close to today?"
"Yes."
The master and servant got up and walked out of the door of Xitang Courtyard and went straight to the flower hall.
This time, Du Jingyi had a better idea than the last time.
They came to the door just to ask for money and opportunities, both of which Du Jingyi could "satisfy".
Also, take a look at Shang Qiniang, whom she had never seen before.
What kind of ability can make the fifth room bet so much and must send her to this "road to the sky"?
In the flower hall, Madam Cai was serving on the surface, but in fact she was keeping a close eye on the few people.
They were good at taking advantage of the situation, knowing that Steward He and Madam Dou were in charge of affairs in the general's mansion these days, so they found an opportunity to break in.
This was her fault, so she was unwilling to even blink at the moment, fearing that these women from the fifth room would cause trouble in the family again.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
