MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 588 Peace Talisman

Hearing this, Aunt He's family felt relieved, smiled at Jin'er and said.

"Okay, then Grandma He will thank you on behalf of my sister. I will definitely hang this purse on her cradle to keep her safe for the rest of her life!"

"Um!"

Jin'er nodded happily, with two small dimples on her face, which was extremely cute.

　　Everyone was tired after working hard all afternoon. They originally planned to have dinner at He's house before leaving, but Aunt Xing had something to do and had to leave first. Du Jingyi thought about it and left with the children.

 Back to the General's Mansion, I naturally wanted to tell my eldest aunt and the others such good news.

It just so happened that the children were all playing together, so Du Jingyi went and told the matter.

“Oh, how could we miss such a good thing? Hurry, prepare a gift and send it over tomorrow.”

Du Jingyi smiled, and then told Jin'er about giving away the peace talisman purse. The eldest aunt looked at her granddaughter happily, and then said.

“It doesn’t matter, I have to ask for the peace talisman every year. Since this year’s one was given away by her, in a few days, let’s go to the Pingliang Temple in the suburbs and ask for it again.”

"Okay, let's go together when the time comes. I also want to pray for the general."

Hearing Du Jingyi mention Gu Shaoyu, the eldest aunt asked.

"Shaoyu has been away for a year, so when will he come back?"

“I’m not sure yet, but I often send letters home, and the words are as clear as my face, so it’s not bad.”

 The eldest aunt sighed, patted her on the shoulder, and said with pity in her eyes.

"That's the bad thing about the families of military generals. They are always separated from their husbands for a long time. Now that the children are small, they will naturally be around them. If the children grow up, they will also join the army. From now on, you will have to worry about With Shaoyu, I have to think about the children again."

The eldest aunt has been here before, so when she said this, she was very sincere. Du Jingyi could hear it, and then he comforted her and himself at the same time.

"When I was a child, my father also had to go to other places to do business. Sometimes he would only leave for half a year, so I was still used to it. The general once said that after a few years, when the time is right, he would take our family with him. Go to Cezhou, and when we get there, we won’t be separated easily.”

Auntie understood what Gu Shaoyu said. Isn’t this the so-called border official?

If we can stay in Cezhou for a long time, then the family can be reunited from time to time. However, according to the current situation, this idea is probably difficult to realize. Therefore, the eldest aunt also sighs in her heart, but she still has to face it. He looked happy.

"Good things, good things. Now that Shaoyu and you have made a decision, let's go for this great future. Although I have never been to Cezhou, I have heard from my four brothers and sisters many times that the people are simple and the scenery is unique!"

“Yeah, I haven’t been there either. Let’s go and see the beautiful scenery of Saibei together when the time comes!”

Everyone laughed and talked, and the days flew by. The scorching summer passed quietly with bursts of autumn rain. Then the north wind gradually picked up, so the leaves on the branches gradually fell to the ground.

The lush greenery in the yard began to look like late autumn and early winter, and the dead branches were not so pretty. Du Jingyi simply asked Yingying and the others to make velvet flowers based on the sandalwood red plums that are only available in winter, and glued them on with rice paste.

It doesn’t have to be full of branches, it just makes the dead branches look less obtrusive.

Therefore, there is a sense of joy in Xitang Courtyard all year round, and the eldest aunt and the others like it every time they come over.

“Don’t tell me, this velvet flower is really made like it. When I saw it for the first time, I went over and smelled it. It actually smelled like plum blossoms. How did it do that?”

"What an ingenious idea of ​​​​Cherry. I collected a lot of sandalwood red plums last year and made it into fragrant dew. The smell was very long-lasting, so when the weather was fine, I mixed some with water and sprinkled some on the velvet flowers. After tossing it a few times, the smell really sticks to it, it’s light and smells really good.”

“I see, this girl will be with you for a long time!”

The eldest aunt looked at Yingying. Now she was also an aunt. She saw that other people like Danruo and Lujue had gotten married and had children, and they were blossoming and bearing fruit. So she also wondered why this cherry had been waiting for her the longest. Not sure where to find it.

 So I asked jokingly.

"Miss Cherry is pretty good, but it's hard to avoid being lonely by spending the whole life with your wife. Do you have someone you like in your heart? If so, tell me, and we guys will handle the marriage properly for you. I will never make you feel wronged."

Aunt Xing next to me also came to join in the fun and hurriedly said.

"The idea of ​​the lobby sister-in-law is a good one, but it's just that Miss Cherry didn't like the people in the family, otherwise she wouldn't have seen any sparks for so many years. I think we can take a look from the outside. , isn’t there a science exam next year? I saw that the inn outside was full of students rushing to take the exam, and even my husband’s eldest brother’s house was home to about a dozen of them. I was afraid that the future was bright, or else, Can you choose from among these people?"

When Cherry heard this, a somewhat naive figure flashed through her heart, but she quickly suppressed it. Seeing that all the ladies were excited to arrange the wedding for her, she was still as before.

"Thank you Madam and Madam Xing for your compliments. Tao Tao is just a maid, how can she be worthy of those imperial examination scholars? Moreover, I have made a vow before that I will stay by Madam's side and serve you all my life, so I thank you here." .”

Her attitude was still so firm, and Du Jingyi had nothing to do, so he shook his head secretly at the crowd. They were wondering if there was something unknown, so they didn't speak again.

 When Cherry took the opportunity to go out to do errands, Aunt Xing asked in a lowered voice.

"What's wrong? Does this cherry have someone in mind? That's why it doesn't have any thoughts at all?"

Du Jingyi sighed, it was not easy to talk nonsense, so he could only mention it lightly.

"When Vice-General Luo was still alive, the general and I both thought that the two of them might become a couple, so we tried to match them up. Who knew that Cherry had no idea, so the matter faded away. Later, when Vice-General Luo left, I thought it was nothing, but once I heard the little maid who lived with Cherry said that she had a very precious handkerchief under her pillow. She would always take it out to look at when she had nothing to do. I asked the little maid to take me quietly. I went to see him, and it turned out that when Vice Admiral Luo was injured and recuperating at home, she took care of him and stayed behind." (End of Chapter)
