MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 35 Choosing a Lucky Day

 Instead, they went to prepare their own things, one was preparing hot water, and the other was looking for elixir.

 Mother Cai thought about it and went to see Aunt Dou.

 Although he wanted to be more affectionate with the young lady, the general's attack was too harsh.

I have to ask Aunt Dou if there is any good way to help the young lady get pregnant as soon as possible and make the general gentler.

The three of them left the yard, and not long after, Du Jingyi woke up.

 Looking at the bright sky outside, I knew it was almost noon without asking.

 Sighed and said mockingly to himself.

 “This body’s bones are too weak to bear the wind.”

 Then, he looked at the crumpled bed and shook his head.

Then he got up and brought his coat over, put it on himself first, and then shouted outside.

"cherry."

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

 “Young madam, are you awake?”

 “Well, it’s past noon?”

  “It has not been corrected.”

 Not correct?

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

 At the moment, she is still wearing clothes, so naturally she is not so embarrassed.

 But it would be embarrassing to go take a shower and change clothes.

 On the bed, the white brocade cloth that had been laid out in advance was collected by Cherry and put into a box.

This thing is what Cai’s mother has repeatedly warned, so it’s natural to put it away.

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

Chingtao was making the bed, and Li Zhu came in from outside.

　　After seeing that my young lady seemed to have had her energy and energy drained away just one night, I felt very worried.

Hurry forward and say.

“Madam, the hot water is ready. Do you want to eat something first or take a shower and freshen up first?”

Du Jingyi had a hard time last night and his stomach was already empty.

If you take a bath at this moment, you will probably collapse.

So he said to Li Zhu.

 “Let’s eat first, I’m hungry.”

　　"Okay, slave, go and carry it now. The Danruo is ready and has been placed on the small basket to steam."

"Um."

 After saying this, Li Zhu saluted and left.

 After Yingying finished making the bed, Li Zhu and Dan Ruo also came over with food boxes.

Dan Ruo was smiling happily, showing a great mood.

Now everyone in Xitang Courtyard knows that the young lady and the general have consummated their marriage.

As a result, they, the maids who came as dowries, became much stronger, so they took a step forward and said.

“Young madam, please take a sip of soup first. This is the squab and bird’s nest soup that the general specially ordered his slaves to stew before he left this morning. It’s the best for boosting Qi and replenishing blood.”

 Invigorate Qi and replenish blood? !

Du Jingyi was really angry and ashamed when he heard these four words.

It's just that the three people in front of him are all maids who have been with him for many years, and the anger will be over in a short time.

I couldn't stand the temptation of the glutton in my stomach, so I said "hmm" and opened the lid of the white porcelain cup.

Needless to say, Danruo’s craftsmanship is naturally good.

In addition, Du Jingyi was indeed hungry, so the white porcelain cup reached the bottom after a while.

There were also some side dishes, and I ate them to a great extent.

After having a full meal, Du Jingyi felt alive again. She wanted to take a shower now, but she just had a full meal.

If you go now, I'm afraid it will be very uncomfortable.

So he put a soft pillow on his back, leaned on the kang under the bright window, and rested for a while.

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

 At the moment, she wasn't very interested.

So he called Cherry and asked.

“Have you put away the box you brought back yesterday?”

“Young lady, don’t worry. The servants have all been put away. They are in the camphor wood box. The servants also specially added a lock, so it will be safe.”

She said it solemnly, and Du Jingyi felt relieved.

But it’s not safe to keep the box in the Duke’s Mansion. It’s better to find a better place to go.

Hence, Du Jingyi began to make calculations.

It’s just that, not long after the matter came into my mind, I heard someone coming from outside.

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

She had also heard about the consummation of the general and the young lady's marriage early, so naturally the smile on her face did not fall away.

When he saw Du Jingyi, he said hello with crooked eyebrows.

"This slave congratulates the young lady. I think it won't take long. Our Dongyuan, oh no, a child will be born in the General's Mansion. This is a great event that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time. If Madam Izumi knows about it, she will definitely be overjoyed. "

 Mother Dou’s words brought tears to her eyes.

Those present can also understand her mood. After all, Shang Ji, a military commander, is indeed too humble at this age and is not yet a queen.

However, these words put a little pressure on Du Jingyi.

 After all, this is where we are, we are just talking about the birth of a child, so it is still a little too early to say anything.

 So, I just smiled and said.

“In two days, I will go and offer incense to my mother-in-law.”

　　"Okay, okay, the young madam is interested. If the madam is still here, she will definitely like you!"

 Mother Dou was originally a bit stern.

After all, he has to take charge of Dongyuan. If he is kind-hearted and soft-handed, he may not be able to control him well.

 Therefore, it was the first time for several maids to see Aunt Dou's expression like this.

They looked at each other and smiled.

 Mother Dou came today, partly to congratulate her, and partly because she had other things to say.

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 show you auspicious days. Now I have selected a few days. I also asked the young lady to take a look at it to see when we will 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 nearest one is the 26th of next month, and the latest one is February 18th next year.

 The others are the days between these two days.

　　The twenty-sixth of next month will only take one month to make full calculations.

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 want to build some bricks and tiles, 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 must be tidied up."

Hearing this, Grandma Dou nodded quickly and said.

 “The young lady is very considerate, and I know this.”

 Following that, Du Jingyi said again.

“It’s the matter of masons that I think Mother Dou has to worry about. I didn’t have much contact with them when I was at my parents’ house, so I really don’t know much about them.”
