Chapter 497 Return to the Merchant

However, whether the final canonized position is satisfactory or not is another matter.

Therefore, this nobleman of the Xing family, Ding Buding, sent these things in a hurry, which made Du Jingyi a little puzzled.

Are you just planning to take advantage of the momentum of the General's Mansion to give yourself a good shot?

But giving these harmless things doesn't seem like an attempt to win over.

"Have everything been sent to the warehouse?"

"Well, all the things delivered to the house these days have been sorted and locked in the warehouse by the slave. No matter how the lady wants to deal with it, the slave will obey the instructions."

"Aren't you afraid, Madam, that I just want to keep it for myself?"

After hearing this, Cherry said with a confident smile.

"These things are less than half of our harvest last year. How could Madam take such a fancy to them?"

As soon as these words came out, Du Jingyi looked at her and said with some praise in his eyes.

"As expected, she is the eldest maid in the general's mansion. She is really confident in what she says."

"This servant's confidence is also given by Madam, so in the final analysis, Madam is the most confident."

"Then who gave Madam the confidence?"

The sudden question made Du Jingyi and Yingtao a little confused, and then Gu Shaoyu, who had not returned home for several days, suddenly appeared.

Du Jingyi was a little surprised when he saw him, and he quickly got off the bed and said curiously.

"How come the general has time to come back? Have everything been taken care of?"

He was covered in dust and tiredness could be seen in his eyes. He had to be interrogated and prepare for the enthronement ceremony in the past few days, so he was really tired.

So, I came back to take a look when I had some free time to see if things were okay at home. Who knew I heard this as soon as I walked in, so I made this joke.

"It's almost done. There are still some things left to be handled by the people from the Ministry of Etiquette. I'll come back and have a rest, and then I'll attend the crown prince's enthronement ceremony the day after."

Du Jingyi nodded, and then personally helped Gu Shaoyu wash up and change into regular clothes to wear at home.

On the table is the sweet soup that was just delivered. In the past two days, Du Jingyi would use a small cup to moisten his mouth when he got up. Now that Gu Shaoyu is back today, he naturally has to prepare two bowls.

Du Jingyi picked it up and took a bite, then frowned a little.

"It's a bit too sweet. Remember to tell Dan Ruo to add less honey. I feel like my waist is getting thicker. It's summer soon, but it's not as good as winter when you can hide meat. If people say that we have gained weight during the national mourning period, then Aren’t you just trying to give someone an excuse?”

Hearing this, Cherry smiled and replied.

"Don't worry, ma'am, your waist is still slim, and it won't change even if you drink for two more months."

When Gu Shaoyu heard this, he looked at it, then nodded in agreement.

"If someone doesn't know you, they won't know that you are a mother of four children. Good health is the most important thing. Being too thin is not necessarily a good thing."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi disagreed.

Although she has no obsession with being better than a girl, once the flesh on her waist and abdomen grows, it is difficult to get rid of it, so the best way is to nip it in the bud.

However, there was probably nowhere to talk about this with a warrior like his own general, so I didn't dwell on the issue any more, but changed the subject.

"On the day he ascended the throne, he must have been very busy. It is not convenient for Brother Tai to hold a birthday banquet at this special time. I thought it would be fine if everyone in the family had a normal meal. Then I asked Danruo to make him a bowl. Longevity noodles are good.”

In special times, it is understandable to do so.

Not to mention Brother Tai's birthday, even in the future for the three brothers and after Xue Niang gives birth, everything should be kept simple.

"It's up to you. Just pay attention to the drinks and dishes."

"Well, I know."

While the couple was talking, the cherry stopped waiting in the back room. Gu Shaoyu was not in a good mood, and Du Jingyi could also see it.

"What's wrong?"

"The charges against the Wei family have been drawn up. No one within the nine clans can escape. Not only the family named Wei is implicated, but also those in Xiyuan. My father and the Duke's Mansion were also among the crimes. Yes, it was only because of my merits that I was forgiven. I just asked my father to write a letter of divorce and sever all ties with the Wei family. "

It is not difficult to write a letter of divorce, but the difficulty is that the Duke Shang Yukuan can still write it at this moment?

"Yesterday, my sister-in-law and Heping'er went back to the Duke's Mansion to see my father-in-law. I was also going to go, but Brother Wen suddenly felt unwell, so he didn't go. However, when my sister-in-law came back, she specifically told me After reading it over, her father-in-law’s condition was beyond cure, so she thought that Heping’er would move there and take care of him in his last days.”

Now the Duke's Mansion has been cleaned up, and there is no more Mrs. Wei's manpower. However, because too many people were arrested at this time, the entire Duke's Mansion is mostly empty.

There were not enough people to serve, and they were not good at it, so my sister-in-law Heping'er felt really pitiful when she saw it, so she came up with this idea.

Gu Shaoyu sighed slightly and nodded in agreement.

"Sooner or later Ping'er will go back, so just move. But those who want to start a big fight will wait until the prince ascends the throne. People will go first. As for my father, I can live as long as I can, and you and I are also prepared to mourn." Get ready."

His words were calm and calm, and Du Jingyi didn't know whether to comfort him or say something else.

This father's death is different from when the grandmother died, they had to serve for three years.

A new emperor in a new dynasty, three years of mourning, is still a long time to say, but they have to accept it. They can't get past this hurdle no matter what they say.

After a short silence, Du Jingyi perked up and said.

"I know, then arrange for sister-in-law and Ping'er to move over tomorrow. They don't have much luggage with them, but... General, do you want to send them over with me?"

Gu Shaoyu didn't answer, and Du Jingyi didn't force him.

After a while, he adjusted his mood and said.

"Go, I don't know how many times I can see you. I will be busy the day after tomorrow and I won't be able to take care of it."

This is true, so Du Jingyi took it to heart.

Then he asked Yingtao to prepare a lot of high-quality medicinal materials and send them to Lanmingyuan together, and let them take them with them tomorrow to see if they can still be used.

After all, they are relatives.

The next day, the four of them got up early, washed up, had breakfast, and handed the child to the Du family's two elders and wet nurses before heading back to the Duke's Mansion.

Du Jingyi listened to the clattering of horse hooves and could not remember how long it had been since he had seen the Duke's father-in-law.
