Chapter 32 Beating the Tricky Slave

Du Jingyi had met him twice before, so he had a little impression of him.

Thinking of the time when he returned home, he knew the purpose of Qi Er's coming here, so Du Jingyi, who didn't want to make the matter worse, said as if to relieve the situation.

"Why did Mr. Qi come to the second gate? But it was dark and he took the wrong road. You have to be careful now."

Seeing this, Qi Er immediately smiled and replied.

“Yes, yes, thank you very much, Madam, for your advice. I’ll leave right now.”

 Qi Erhui will appear here entirely by designation.

 Ever since Shang Ji said he wanted to move away, many pairs of eyes in the Duke's Mansion have been staring at him.

Seeing that the couple had missed the night and still didn't come back, it was natural that someone would be keeping watch.

If we can find a handle or something, we can make the people in the third and fifth houses be tougher and find trouble.

 It's a pity that Qi Er is stupid, and Luo Yuan immediately discovered his trace.

 Fortunately, the young lady opened her mouth to help him out, and he happily climbed down the pole.

It’s a pity that when the words got out, no one answered them.

Especially when I saw the young master Shang Ji standing with his hands behind his hands without saying a word, I sweated a lot.

Kneel down in front of him tremblingly and beg for mercy.

"The little one is blind and can't see the road clearly in the dark, so he bumped into the general. Please don't remember the villain's fault and let him go."

  I put a high hat on Shang Ji when I first came up, thinking that I could escape this disaster because of my reputation.

 Unfortunately, he guessed the wrong person.

After listening to his explanation, Shang Ji just said "oh" lightly, and then said to Luo Yuan.

"Since he is blind, it was not intentional. Just be gentle and give him fifty military sticks."

"yes!"

As soon as Luo Yuan heard about the fifty military sticks, his eyes radiated a bit of coldness.

Na Qi Er’s scalp immediately went numb after seeing it.

Immediately begged my father to sue my grandma.

“You know you’re wrong, I know you’re wrong. Please show mercy to the general.”

At this time he finally understood that there were some people he could mess with and some people he couldn't mess with.

Thinking that the masters who lived in Dongyuan in the past were more cowardly than others, he thought that this general was just famous.

 Unexpectedly, opening his mouth would be a fatal blow.

Unfortunately, before his cry could spread far, Luo Yuan covered his mouth and nose and dragged him away.

When the four maids and Mama Cai who accompanied Du Jingyi back home saw them, they were all frightened to death.

 They were in the back house, bickering and making trouble.

With such a powerful force, there are only fifty military sticks. It seems that the second steward Qi will either die or be seriously disabled.

Hence, I swallowed my saliva and secretly reminded myself that I must be more careful in the future when serving as errands, otherwise, I am afraid they will be punished by military discipline next.

Luo Yuan dragged the people outside to beat them, so of course they didn't hear anything.

 The couple walked side by side towards Xitang Courtyard under the moonlight.

 As if nothing happened.

Du Jingyi, who was originally thinking about consummating the marriage, was disturbed by this incident and had some lingering fears.

 It wasn't until he entered the courtyard that Shang Ji spoke.

 “Go back and rest early.”

 Then he turned around and walked towards the study.

Mother Cai next to me didn’t know where she got the courage, so she suddenly said something stiffly.

"General, you are too exposed, and the study is not very easy to live in. Otherwise, you should go back to the main room and rest."

God knows what kind of determination she had when she said this, but she has not forgotten Madam’s repeated instructions before.

  Anyway, we have to be together one day early and the other day later. Isn’t today just the right time?

Hearing what Cai’s mother said, Du Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

If she was really asked to mention it, she really didn't know how to speak.

Shang Ji didn't say anything, he only looked at Du Jingyi, and his meaning was very clear. If Du Jingyi asked him to stay, he would naturally stay.

 After waiting for a while and seeing that Du Jingyi didn't say anything, Shang Ji knew better.

He didn't intend to force it. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Du Jingyi say softly.

"I am very happy when I come back today. If the general is fine, can you please drink two cups with me? It would also be good to ask Dan Ruo to cook some side dishes to fill my stomach."

After saying this, Shang Ji was stunned for a moment, but somehow he said, "Okay."

At this point, no one else was more excited than the four maids and Mama Cai, and they hurriedly spoke.

 “I will prepare some dishes that the general likes to eat.”

 “Slave, go get the wine.”

   "Servant to fetch hot water to help the general and the young lady wash themselves."

 Everyone quickly found their own place to go, which made Du Jingyi and Shang Ji stand there in embarrassment.

 “Let’s go.”

"yes."

They were both on the porch, and they entered the main room in just a few steps.

 This is the third time Shang Ji has entered the main room.

 It feels different from the previous two times.

He took the handkerchief handed over by the maid Yingying and purified his hands. The usually simple copper basin for purifying his hands seemed to have begonia flowers engraved on it.

The Du family's dowry really clearly declares who its master is.

 And he, the original owner of the house, seemed to be a guest at this moment.

 Soon, the food and wine were served.

Shang Ji was not hungry at first, but when he saw the food on the table, he actually felt like eating.

It can be seen that Danruo's craftsmanship is excellent.

 While eating, Du Jingyi found that there was no one in the room.

On the contrary, you can see what is covered on the bed through the Suzhou embroidered screen.

 After a pause to think, he filled two glasses of wine, raised one of them, and said to Shang Ji.

"I came back late today because I have exceeded the rules. Next time I will pay attention to this. This glass of wine can be regarded as an apology to the general."

 Then he drank it all in one gulp, without any sloppiness at all.

Shang Ji frowned and looked at her, as if he didn't understand why she did this.

 After a moment, he explained.

"If you are worried about this, don't worry. I think it won't be a day or two to deal with Beiyuan's people, so Qi Er just happened to bump into them."

Although his original intention was to let the other servants understand who the master of the house was by scolding Qi Er.

 But it was more or less the idea of ​​telling him to shut up and stop talking nonsense.

I just said this because I was afraid that my wife, Du Jingyi, would remember me.

Du Jingyi is not stupid, so he naturally understands what his husband Shang Ji means.

So he filled another glass and continued.

“I want to express my gratitude to the general when I come back to offer tea today. Since ancient times, the status of a merchant has never been on the stage, but you still gave my parents enough face. I will propose another cup.”

 Hand said, he drank another glass of wine, his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat.

Shang Ji picked up the cup and smelled it was Nuer Hong.

So he fully understood what Du Jingyi meant at this moment.

 There is an unwritten rule in the Daxing Dynasty.

If any family gives birth to a daughter, they will seal the altar with wine and bury it deep in the ground.

Dig it out in advance on the day of marriage and take it with you to your husband's home.

If you can drink this wine on the wedding night, it means that the couple will be harmonious and have a smooth life.

Let’s just say that the last chapter was locked in a small dark room... Hey, I originally wanted to give the sisters a benefit ~ stop the fire...
