Chapter 101: The Circle of Nobles

"This slave knows."

After saying that, the man retreated.

Du Jingyi had eaten and drank enough, so he took the booklet and started to read it.

I have to say that this sister-in-law's behavior style is very similar to Butler He and Aunt Dou.

This was probably taught by Mrs. Gu, so she was very careful when doing things.

That booklet basically listed all the named princes, nobles, powerful ministers and generals of the Daxing Dynasty clearly and clearly.

"No wonder it's so thick."

Du Jingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still looked through it carefully.

For her, about 30% of the contents in this book were known to her before.

But this is the first time I heard about others. After all, there is still a gap between merchant families and powerful families.

It was okay to say that the other side of things were here, but it was the person in Mrs. Wei's natal family, the Taiwei Mansion, that made her curious.

Now the head of the Wei family is naturally Mrs. Wei's father, Mr. Taiwei.

He has climbed from an ordinary official to the position he has today, which is quite impressive.

Of course, the help of the wife family is indispensable.

Mrs. Wei also has an elder brother who has a son and two daughters.

Her brother is now the deputy commander of the Military and Horse Command Department in Sui'an City, responsible for the defense of Sui'an City.

His legitimate son naturally followed him in the Military and Horse Command Department, and is now a fifth-grade military attaché.

The eldest daughter is Shang Silang's daughter-in-law and Mrs. Wei's daughter-in-law.

Du Jingyi had never dealt with this, but she felt that the children she raised were a little too complacent.

It seems that he is not a well-educated person.

As for this girl...

Du Jingyi tapped her name with his finger, and when he saw Ying Ying beside him refilling her tea, he suddenly became nervous.

Said slightly worriedly.

"Young madam, this young lady from the Wei family...isn't it Mrs. Wei who wants to infiltrate people into our courtyard?"

You must know that the general is now powerful and at the height of his power.

Moreover, their young lady has been married for three years and has no children. I'm afraid...

After hearing this, Li Zhu came forward immediately.

She was originally sore from practicing martial arts, but now her eyes were full of anger.

"Where is it? Take a look, slave!"

Then I took the booklet and read it carefully.

"Wei Jialian, the direct daughter of the Wei family, she is beautiful and tall, but she hasn't even got hairpins yet?"

When the last sentence was spoken, there was still a bit of surprise.

"No, she is about the same age as our eighth lady. Do you want to send her in? The general is old enough to be her father!"

…

When Li Zhu finished speaking, Du Jingyi couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Sometimes I think Li Zhu is really innocent and cute, and sometimes I think this girl is really brainless.

It can be said that this Miss Wei family is young, but it cannot be said that our general is old.

What a stupid girl to give such an example!

Cherry also patted her head gently and said with wide eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If Aunt Dou hears this, she will definitely give you a meal."

Li Zhu shrank his neck and showed a flattering expression.

"Hey, I was wrong, I was wrong, I couldn't hold it back for a while."

Then he shut up and stepped aside, while Cherry handed the book back to his young lady.

Du Jingyi took it, his expression not showing much emotion.

He explained immediately.

"It's not necessarily true. If her status makes her a concubine or a businesswoman, do you think she would agree?"

"Then what if she has been admiring our general since childhood and insists on entering?"

Cherry is more worried than Du Jingyi.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled even more.

I couldn't help but give her a nod.

"She is only fourteen now, sixteen years younger than our general. The general at that time must have been struggling in the Gu family camp. How can we get to know her?"

"Young madam is right, this slave is mistaken."

As soon as Cherry felt relieved, Du Jingyi said another sentence.

"However, it is possible that she falls in love at first sight when the general returns to court."

"Then Madam, why don't you respond quickly? If she really lets her through our Dongyuan door, how will Ansheng be able to live her life in the future?"

Du Jingyi smiled when he heard this.

"Silly girl, if you really try your best to get in, just give it up. There are plenty of ways to deal with her, so you don't have to worry about the people in the next door trying to get me in. What if I'm a jealous woman?"

"Young madam, you don't even have a legitimate son, so if you bring a concubine in now, wouldn't it be a huge threat? Even if you have a young master or young lady in the future, wouldn't it be just as dangerous?"

The Du family has a simple population, and Mr. Du has never taken a concubine, so there is no dispute between concubine and concubine.

But the Duke's Mansion was different. Even under Mrs. Wei's nose, the Duke still had three concubines staying in the back house, but they didn't come out to play around much.

With their ability as generals, there will be many people in this house in the future.

Both Du Jingyi and the maids were prepared for this.

But they always hope that it will be a few years later, so that their position as young wives can at least be secured and their legitimate son can be born and grow up.

"Don't worry. If there is a threat to my child one day, we will divorce at the worst possible time. When the time comes, we can take the child back to the Du family, take the mother's surname, enter the family tree, and enjoy the great wealth. Isn't it the same carefree life?"

Du Jingyi was quite open-minded, probably because the escape route was spacious and bright.

Unfortunately, after saying this, before Yingtao could answer, she was interrupted by a deep male voice outside the door.

"Do you want to divorce?"

Shang Ji walked in with a big stride, with some suppressed anger on his face.

His eyes were no longer as charming as last night, but instead showed some unhappiness.

After going and coming back, Du Jingyi never dreamed that the few words she chatted with the maid would fall into his ears.

It was really embarrassing.

I don't know how many words he heard, but it's better to "seek peace" first.

So she stood up and saluted Shang Ji.

Her movements were more correct than before, and then she smiled sweetly and asked.

"Why did the general come back? Is there something wrong?"

"Tell me first, do you want to divorce? Do you want our child to take the mother's surname and enter the Du family tree? Are you sincere?"

Du Jingyi smiled awkwardly, thinking that it was better to show weakness at this time.

So he replied.

"General, you must have heard me wrong. I didn't say that."

The fox nature in her body was released again. Shang Ji was happy to see it, but his face was still as serious as before.

Then he waved to Yingtao and Lizhu, signaling them to go down.

Although the two were worried about their young lady, the general's momentum did not allow them to refute, so they could only retreat quickly.

When leaving, he even closed the door of the house on purpose.

He silently said in his heart, the young lady should wish herself good luck.
