Chapter 154 Another Plan

My sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, felt infinitely proud when she talked about this.

After all, Xue Niang is her sister-in-law in name, but she is actually the one who brought her up. She is no different from her daughter.

So it's natural to worry about her.

Du Jingyi didn't talk much and liked to listen quietly.

Seeing her like this, sister-in-law Liu suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask.

"I heard from Aunt Dou that your hand reached back to the Duke's Mansion again?"

Her question this time was not a test, but a genuine curiosity.

Now she finally understands that the matter of feeding in the palm of her hand is for those who are capable.

Looking at them moving to the General's Mansion and living such a comfortable life, you can see how capable Du Jingyi is.

Therefore, just live a good life with peace of mind.

I mentioned this today out of pure curiosity.

After what happened last time, Du Jingyi also understood the situation of his sister-in-law.

So when she mentioned it, she didn't hide it, she smiled and gathered her clothes and said.

"Well, Mrs. Wei is going to overhaul the Duke's Mansion, which is a good thing. And I heard that Prince Fu's Mansion also specially sent 200,000 taels of silver to the door. I thought that this repair would definitely cost a lot of work and materials, so I asked the masonry team to I deliberately took 10% less profit, so I won Mrs. Wei."

Mrs. Xing felt strange and asked back.

"Didn't you all move out? Why do you still care about the Duke's Mansion? She is repairing it now for the enjoyment of her children and grandchildren, and you are still going to get involved?"

"That's not necessarily the case, aunt."

Du Jingyi took a candied fruit at hand, put it in his mouth and said.

"The fire in Dongyuan was severe, and Beiyuan was evacuated again. I have carefully calculated that if that area is to be restored to its former glory, it will take at least two or three years. No one can say what will happen in two or three years."

"I just like to see Mrs. Wei twisting her hair and doing the abacus, but in the end it looks like a chicken flying over an egg."

Mrs. Xing couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but then she looked deeply at Du Jingyi, but she didn't say much.

With Shang Ji's current status, it is natural that he should go back and succeed the Duke of Guo.

But she always felt that the couple were not enthusiastic about it, as if they were paving the way for others.

Suddenly he remembered Shang Zhiping, who was practicing outside with his son, and he suddenly understood.

When she looked at Du Jingyi again, she was a little impressed.

Shang Ji planned for his nephew, that's what he should do.

But once the position of the young prince in the Duke's palace is given back to Shang Zhiping, it will not happen in a generation.

That means that either Shang Ji's meritorious service can be higher and reach the point where he can be hereditary.

Otherwise, their children would just be children of wealthy families and would not have any protection.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing had to admit that Du Jingyi's broad mind might not even be comparable to hers.

On the contrary, the person involved, Du Jingyi, was still greedy for the candied fruit and seemed not to take the matter to heart.

In her eyes, it was the best thing to use her money and effort to get the results she wanted.

Mrs. Wei has been plotting against others all her life. If God is wise, it’s time for her to experience the feeling of being plotted against others a few more times.

So, he smiled innocently.

But Cherry, who was familiar with her, could see that there was a bit of pride and calculation hidden in this smile.

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Mrs. Liu vaguely guessed it, but it was not something she could ask.

Therefore, I told myself not to think too much, so as not to fall into the same predicament again.

A few people chatted and laughed, then moved the topic to something else.

In this way, Mrs. Wei worked hard to "make wedding clothes" for others, and the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month arrived as scheduled.

Although everyone moved into the General's Mansion in advance, they still performed many housewarming etiquette decently today.

The happiest people are the servants in the general's mansion.

Although Butler He and Aunt Dou were strict, they could not resist Du Jingyi's arrogant and generous spending.

Today each person received sixty-six taels of silver, but they may not have received wages after working for ten years.

There are also three newly made coats, which are decent and well-fitting.

Under this condition, everyone was smiling like a bursting watermelon, and they couldn't put it down anymore.

Such a wealthy master's family has been searched all over Ancheng, but he has never been able to find it.

Moreover, the rules at the top and bottom are clearly established. As long as they don't have any evil intentions and work well in the house, they will not be treated badly.

So one by one, they were like chicken blood, rushing to do any work.

Not only positive, but also serious and careful.

Du Jingyi was also happy to see it.

She is not stingy with the shopkeeper, so that people can see the future, have money to make, and have ideas to think about, so that they will not give up their long-term livelihood for the benefit of three melons and two dates.

This method can be used in the general's mansion as well.

They were given sweet dates to eat as soon as they were served. They were used to eating this. No matter how many temptations there were outside, they still had to weigh whether it was cost-effective or not.

The firecrackers this time were much more explosive, and they were crackling just like the Chinese New Year.

Butler He and Aunt Dou were still outside directing the maids at home, scattering sugar, scattering copper coins, and giving porridge.

Therefore, the people outside were happy to say a lot of auspicious words.

When Shang Ji brought people back, he happened to encounter this scene.

There was a smile on his lips, and he knew it must be his wife's idea.

Luo Yuan, who was also riding a horse beside him, grinned and said.

"General, you have to get more rewards. Otherwise, if the young lady continues to squander like this, I'm afraid that our general's mansion will have to be pawned in a few years."

He was joking, of course, but Shang Ji looked at him sideways.

"I think you have been outside for too long and your heart has become wild. How about going back to the Tiger Guards camp for half a month?"

Luo Yuan was obviously asking for trouble by daring to tease his wife.

Feeling that his general was very protective of his wife, he said flatteringly.

"Hehe, the general is very generous. I haven't had a good life for a few days. I..."

Before Luo Yuan finished speaking, Shang Ji got off the horse and went straight to the door of the general's mansion.

Luo Yuan secretly rejoiced that he had escaped another disaster, got off the horse, and hurriedly followed.

When housekeeper He and Madam Dou saw the two coming back, their eyebrows were even happier.

"General, are you back?"

Their voices were not loud, so they did not attract many people's attention.

But many people present still saw Shang Ji.

How could they forget such a majestic general, so they all said sincerely.

"Thank you for the reward, General."

Shang Ji raised his hand slightly in the face of the people's enthusiasm and said.

"Like all of you, I have enjoyed the grace of the heaven, so you should thank your majesty instead of me."

This sentence well resolved the suspicion of outsiders about the general's mansion.

Then he entered the mansion.

It took three days to finally revise the text.

About one-sixth of the content was overturned and rewritten, so if you have time, you can go back and read it. I personally think it is more comfortable than the previous rhythm~~

Hehe, a little arrogant~

Starting tomorrow, I will resume the normal time to update, or in the early morning, sisters can continue to follow~

Thank you for your tolerance and waiting, and I will continue to write good stories and characters next, and give them a happy ending!

Also, I will remember to update it later, don't worry!!!
