Chapter 259 Good News
Everyone looked at Shang Qilang's back as he entered and stood for a while before leaving.
As he was leaving, Shang Yukuan's sharp eyes saw the Du family standing more than ten meters to his right.
At this moment, he was very enthusiastic and hurried over to say hello. However, Mrs. Wei and others stood there with gloomy expressions and did not come over.
"What a coincidence. My in-laws, father-in-law, and mother-in-law are also here. Are you here to see off your relatives?"
The Duke and his wife Shang Yukuan's words made the Du family aware of his existence. They were all about to leave, but now they could only stand still.
"My lord, my son-in-law is a civil servant, so he also participated in this spring ceremony."
"Oh I got it."
Then, Mr. Du glanced at Mrs. Wei and others not far away, quickly understood and said with a smile.
"I heard my little girl mention that Qi Lang in the mansion is also a capable person. It seems that he is here to take part in the scientific examination this time."
"My father-in-law is right. It is indeed Qilang who is here this time."
"To be so powerful at such a young age, he is a good son of our Daxing Dynasty."
Mr. Du's words were not sincere, they were just words for the occasion, but the Duke Shang Yukuan couldn't hear them, and he still laughed happily.
Seeing this, Mr. Du didn't want to talk to him anymore, and then he left with the two elders of the He family and Du Jingxiang on the pretext that he had something to do at home.
When he left, he didn't say hello to Mrs. Wei.
Although they are in-laws, it is just a shout-out for the sake of appearance. They are not on the same level of intimacy as the two elders of the He family sitting next to them.
On the way back, the Du family's carriage was divided into two cars. The Du family and their daughter Du Jingxiang rode in one car, while the two elders of the He family rode in another car.
The people sitting inside were all members of her own family, so Mrs. Du did not hide her emotions and sneered and said mockingly.
"The Duke of Guo, who is made of dough, really looks like he is getting worse every day. His daughter was not there when she was hired, and she was busy attending some kind of spring banquet for Lao Shizi. Fortunately, he could think of it. Sure enough, there is something wrong with this. After marrying the stepmother, he becomes the stepfather, and it’s hard for the children in Dongyuan to suffer many years of injustice in the Duke’s mansion.”
Master Du nodded after hearing this. In his eyes, even the King of Heaven is not as important as his two daughters, so he cannot understand what the Duke of the Kingdom did.
Du Jingxiang and the Duke had never met each other before, and he couldn't say anything more. He only asked curiously.
"If he is like this, isn't he afraid that the children of the General's Mansion will be separated from him?"
The Du couple looked at each other with a bit of ridicule. I'm afraid it's not just this one thing that can separate their lives. It must have accumulated over time.
"Haven't you seen it yet? People are placing all their treasures on the one in the Gongyuan. However, Qilang of this businessman does have some real abilities. He has such a reputation at such a young age. Given time, I'm afraid he will The people in the DPRK are also on a firm footing.”
Mrs. Du analyzed and said, but Du Jingxiang was obviously not interested in these, so he diverted the topic to other places.
"When my husband finishes his exams, Brother Yun's 100-day banquet can be held. It will be generous to invite Tangtang and the others to have a fun time."
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Du and Master Du looked at each other with some regret in their eyes.
If the younger daughter Du Jingyi was present, she would definitely have to analyze it with them, but the eldest daughter is not sensitive to this.
But that's fine, the little fairy has nothing to do. She can live a comfortable life as long as she doesn't care what these troublemakers do.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt relieved.
The Du family's carriage and the carriage of the Duke's Mansion parted ways and headed in different directions. The Du family would gossip about the Duke's Mansion behind their backs, and Mrs. Wei and others would not be idle either.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said as they sang in harmony.
"The Du family has gained the glory of the General's Palace, and even the eldest son-in-law has gained face in front of the nobles in the circle. I heard that the He family can talk a few words in front of the prince. If he can also go to high school this time , I think my luck will be good.”
Mrs. Wei's words were originally intended for the Duke of Guo and Shiro, but both father and son were ignorant and did not respond a word, which made her embarrassed.
Seeing this, Shiro's wife responded.
"No matter how talented he is, he can't compare to our seventh brother. He is the son of the Duke of the State, the grandson of the Taiwei Palace, and the younger brother of Princess Fu. Such an identity is something he can only compare to. Mother-in-law, you should not put your mind on this. While we wait for the little guy, we might as well think about how to handle this celebration party."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei felt much relieved.
"You are still considerate and you are right. We will see how to entertain you when we get back."
"Yes, mother-in-law."
Each family speaks their own words, and each family has its own plans.
Chunwei's good news has not been concluded yet, but Du Jingyi was the first to get the news that made her breathe a sigh of relief.
That is the livelihood problem of Cezhou people that Shang Ji told her before, and there are ways to alleviate it.
Sitting opposite her in Xitang Courtyard was the Du family and his wife.
Mr. Du's expression was still smiling as usual, and he had almost found out everything that Du Jingyi asked her to investigate a few days ago.
"The seeds of melon and cabernet sauvignon have been found. My father asked people to find a piece of land in Cezhou to sow them. After a few months, we will know the results? But with your uncle Han's family here , I must be 70-80% certain.”
The Han family's business is bigger than the Du family's, especially since they are involved in the grain industry, so they have many good farmers.
Although this kind of grain is a little different from growing vegetables and fruits, it is still a matter of taking care of the land, so they have more ability than others.
With them involved, Du Jingyi is also more assured.
"Thank you for your hard work, Daddy and Uncle Han. If this can be accomplished, not only can the livelihood of the people in Cezhou be solved, but it will also be much easier to attract merchants to establish themselves there in the future."
Hearing this, the Du couple did not refute.
They still have a good understanding of what Du Jingyi wants to do, so Mrs. Du said something quite shrewdly.
"Your aunt Han and I will send people to take over 40% to 50% of the shops in good locations in Cezhou City. If Cezhou becomes bigger and stronger, our net worth will double."
The two families are not vegetarians, so the matter of taking the shops has been planned since Du Jingyi sent the message.
It doesn't have to be done in the name of the Han and Du families, as long as the two of them are still in power.
Hearing this, Du Jingyi acted like a spoiled child and quickly said to Madam Du.
