My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

His words made Du Jingyi laugh, and then he said jokingly.

Yes, yes, I'm going to have a separation from you.

It's a pity that Xing Zhao is a master of beating snakes and twisting sticks, so he said it without being polite at all.

Then I'll shamelessly stick to you. Cousin-in-law, don't think about getting rid of me. I'll go there with Brother Tai and the others later.

Okay, I'll take care of you for two more meals.

After talking and laughing, Du Jingyi and Xia Meng left first, and the smile on Xing Zhao's lips quickly fell after they left. Looking at their leaving figures outside the door, they were quite worried.

After riding in a carriage and horse, Du Jingyi and Xia Meng rushed to Du's house.

When he entered the Du family's door and saw his brother-in-law He Shilin, whom he had not seen for several years, Du Jingyi still felt a little like he was in another world.

He is much younger than Gu Shaoyu, but he is probably worried about his future in the past few years, so he looks older and more serious than Gu Shaoyu. He also has the beard that civil servants love most, so No matter how you look, you age.

When he stood with his sister Du Jingxiang, he looked a little older.

He Shilin also had sharp eyes. Seeing that Du Jingyi was a little surprised, he said mockingly to himself.

But I have aged a lot over the years. You, like my father-in-law and mother-in-law, were stunned when you saw me.

After listening to his words, Du Jingyi adjusted his facial expression and then said with a smile.

If anything, I'm just wondering if I should find a good horn comb to give to my brother-in-law, so that you can stroke your beard more often.

Her words made He Shilin laugh. It was rare for her husband to be so happy. Du Jingxiang felt happy when he saw it. Then he pulled Du Jingyi to sit down and then greeted Xia Meng.

This is Miss Xia, Tangtang's close friend. She has been living in the General's Mansion these days to keep her company. She is a rare and wonderful woman, and her abilities are enviable.

Du Jingxiang didn't hide what Xia Meng did.

Moreover, some of the depressive symptoms that have been bothering her over the years have improved a lot under Xia Meng's careful treatment. Therefore, Du Jingxiang also highly praised Xia Meng's medical skills, but because she had said before that she didn't like outsiders to know. Du Jingxiang did not speak out about what she did.

Therefore, He Shilin was sensible enough and didn't ask any more questions.

After just cupping his fists and saluting, he stepped aside and listened quietly to Du Jingyi once again livening up the atmosphere.

Seven or eight years passed in a flash. He remembered that when he came here, his sister-in-law had a lively personality and could always make the whole family laugh. Now that she is a mother, she is still the same as before. He knew her by the look of her. These years should have been smooth sailing, that's why it's like this. ♦♡

Then he looked at his wife, Du Jingxiang, with a slightly apologetic look in his eyes.

Du Jingxiang was one with her husband, so she naturally understood what he was thinking, so she responded with a Don't worry, I'm fine look. If everyone hadn't been there at this moment, she might have stepped forward to comfort him.

While Du Jingyi wanted to calm down the atmosphere, he also had to pay attention to the emotions of his sister and brother-in-law.

For some reason, she always felt that she was not as free to speak at home as before. She always had to think twice before speaking, for fear that something she said was wrong and would make her sister and brother-in-law worried, which would be bad.

Mr. Du and Mrs. Du also saw her thoughts, so they cooperated very well.

All the family talked about was joking around family matters, and they didn't talk too much about career issues. In the end, it was He Shilin who started the joke.

The general is not here either. If he is here, I will give him a toast today to thank him for letting Mr. Guo transfer me from the Salt Transport Department to the Prefect's Mansion. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will be stuck there for the rest of my life. He’s not coming anymore.”

When he said this, he meant it sincerely, but because of the disadvantages of having a great youth buried in one place, it was inevitable that he would be tainted with an air of self-denial.

His behavior is somewhat similar to that of Ping'er in the past, except that one is a troubled teenager and the other is depressed, but in the end they are both unhappy in life, so Du Jingyi is also thinking, is there any way to help his brother-in-law?

Then he interrupted and said.

The general specifically told me before he went to Wangzhou that when my brother-in-law comes, he will bring all the jars of fine wine he has collected in the house. Although he is not in Sui'an City, his heart is still connected with us. He It is said that life is like wine, it needs some tempering and waiting, so that the wine can taste sweet and mellow.

The first sentence of asking Du Jingyi to bring wine was naturally true, but the second sentence was made up by her. With Gu Shaoyu's temperament and the things he had to worry about, he couldn't notice the emotions of a brother-in-law who was thousands of miles away.

But Du Jingyi knew.

He Shilin didn't seem to be able to listen to anyone's words now. Maybe his own general's words could be of more use, so he said this in his name.

As expected, when He Shilin heard this, his eyes suddenly shone. He was a little in disbelief, but he was very encouraged and asked.

General Gu has so many things to do, and yet he can still say something like this. I remember this friendship. When he comes back from Wangzhou next time, I will definitely find a way to go back to Sui'an City so that we can stay together without getting drunk.

Okay, I will definitely bring my brother-in-law to you!

At this point, He Shilin's interest that he had been unable to arouse finally changed. The people of the Du family saw his changes, so they used these words to say.

These days, you can just relax and play in Sui'an City. Take a walk around and take a look. There have been great changes in the past few years. Take the shops in the south of the city for example. They must be different from the ones you visited a few years ago. It’s the same.”

He Shilin smiled and nodded, and then answered respectfully.

Don't worry, father-in-law and mother-in-law, my son-in-law will definitely accompany you well.

What are you doing with us? Just spend more time with Xiangxiang and the children. They always mention you when you are not here.

The He family has a very good relationship, so when he mentioned this, He Shilin also showed a fatherly expression. Then he summoned a pair of children and took a closer look before saying.

Brother Yun has grown taller and stronger. Sister Yan looks better than when she was in Pingzhou. After all, under the emperor's feet, this dragon energy is strong, which is also very beneficial to the child.

What he said was unintentional, but Mrs. Du was listening attentively, so she was thinking that she would have to talk about keeping the children here some other day. Maybe the eldest son-in-law would agree with him in one fell swoop!

Then she really let go of the knot in her heart, and then looked at the two children with crooked eyebrows. (End of chapter)
