Chapter 499: All Arrangements

What the sister-in-law said was right, and Du Jingyi thought it made sense.

At least, the most important thing is that the Duke's Mansion can no longer be dominated by the Yunjin Courtyard, otherwise they will feel insecure.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will tell housekeeper He and Nanny Dou when I go back. If there is nothing to do these days, ask them to come and help. Other things are still small. The manpower must be fully prepared. Otherwise, such a large mansion will not even have a sense of vitality, and it will be terrible to live in it."

"You are right!"

With a few words, the two sisters-in-law arranged all the big and small things in the mansion. Although the Duke's Mansion is dilapidated, the foundation is still good, so it is not too difficult to turn it around.

After explaining everything, Gu Shaoyu also handled it properly.

Given Shang Yukuan's current situation, it was impossible to write a divorce letter, so he wrote it himself, and after writing it, he pressed his father's finger on it, and then asked someone to send the divorce letter to the Ministry of Justice for filing.

So far, how the Wei family would be sentenced to death was all the Wei family's business, and had nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion.

There were four people on the way here, and two on the way back.

The couple sat in the carriage, listening to the still bustling streets outside, and their hearts were somewhat empty.

"With the departure of sister-in-law and Ping'er, there are fewer people in our general's mansion. Fortunately, there are a few children, otherwise it would be very lonely for us to live alone."

"Don't worry, the four boys are still young now. When they grow up to seven or eight years old and make trouble, I'm afraid they may overturn the roof of the general's mansion."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi laughed rarely, and then heard the shouting of the wonton stall outside. Her eyes lit up, and she took Gu Shaoyu's hand and said.

"I haven't eaten outside since I came back. General, do you want to have a bowl of wontons with me before going back?"

Although she is already a mother of four children, Du Jingyi's coquettish look is still so lovable. Gu Shaoyu scratched her nose lightly, then took her hand and got off the carriage together.

Liu Ji's wonton stall is still as lively as ever.

Although their family's cooking skills have been learned by Danruo, it is rare to taste a bowl of the taste outside, and the couple are also very satisfied.

After eating a bowl of hot wontons, they felt comfortable in their internal organs.

Yingtao handed Du Jingyi a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and then took out something like a sugar pill for her, which made Gu Shaoyu feel a little strange.

"What is this?"

"General, do you want to try it? Dan Ruo made a refreshing pill. If you put one in your mouth, it will dissolve in a while. Even if you eat something with a strong smell, it can cover up a lot of it."

Gu Shaoyu had never heard of it before, so he was very curious. He took one and tasted it. It was really good, so he asked.

"Madam, don't you plan to sell one or two of such good things?"

"Otherwise, how can you say that the general understands me? This thing was made by Dan Ruo not long ago. Now he is planning to sell it through the shops of the Du and Han families. However, the price is not cheap, so I am afraid that only wealthy families can afford it."

"In that case, then raise the price a little and rip them off. Anyway, they have plenty of money and will not care about this. Instead, they regard the high price as their own."

The couple has figured out the thoughts of these rich people thoroughly.

After eating the wontons, they got up and returned to the general's mansion. After the carriages of the two of them left for a while, the people at the Liu Ji wonton stall breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you heard? The former prince was killed by General Gu with one blow. I heard that his head was cut off. Such a person would actually accompany his wife to eat wontons. It's really...really..."

"Really what?"

"It's really like Hanba worshiping Yaksha. It's like seeing a ghost."

Hearing this, everyone laughed, but during the national mourning period, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so they just laughed it off and didn't take it too seriously.

Whether it's dead or alive doesn't matter to the people. As long as the people of the current dynasty can let them live a comfortable and stable life, they don't care about any power struggle.

Back to the general's mansion, the couple saw housekeeper He as soon as they entered the door.

So Du Jingyi stopped him and gave instructions.

"Sister-in-law is in great need of help. Steward He, please find the maids we used before and carefully select a group of people to send over. The money should be paid from the account of the General's Mansion. Tell Sister-in-law that it is my gift to them to congratulate them for regaining control of the Duke's Mansion. You are not allowed to refuse."

"Yes, Madam."

Du Jingyi could still get a rough idea of ​​how much money Sister-in-law had. She had just arranged the engagement for Ping'er two days ago and sent the betrothal gift. I'm afraid she doesn't have much money in her hands now.

When she first came to the Duke's Mansion, she naturally had to give her some face. Now she tried her best to arrange everything she could, so that they could breathe a sigh of relief.

Then she spoke to Steward He.

"Go tell Madam Dou to send the bricklayers over. I don't know how the East Garden is doing. If there is any shortage, let him report the balance and we will fill it up from here. As for other places in the Duke's Mansion, let the eldest sister-in-law discuss with him about the changes. If there are too many changes, let him report a lower price. It's still the old rule. We will fill the shortage from here."

"Yes, ma'am."

Du Jingyi arranged the two most expensive things, manpower and repairs.

Gu Shaoyu was listening nearby and couldn't help but raise his lips and said.

"Madam is indeed arrogant. If this were an ordinary family, the sisters-in-law would have been scheming against each other. You are good. You have solved so many problems for my sister-in-law, but you don't want to take credit. I really want to publicize your achievements so that everyone in the world knows how generous my wife is!"

Du Jingyi didn't want to accept the compliment, so he replied jokingly.

"To be arrogant, you must have money in your hands. I made a lot of money last year, thanks to the general, so it's only right to give some to help my sister-in-law, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu was a little confused.

"What do you mean?"

"I calculated last year's harvest, and the profit from Cezhou accounted for 30%. Uncle Han said he wanted to thank me for helping his family win the title of imperial merchant, and he also sent a lot of good things to me with a wave of his hand. It was another unexpected fortune, so all in all, even if I spent all this, I still made a small profit."

Is that so.

Gu Shaoyu didn't understand the dealings and tricks in the business, so he just said what the lady said, and these things were also obtained in a legitimate way, and no one would say anything if they knew, so he was happy too.
