Chapter 523 Marrying a Maid
Of course Du Jingyi had to ask, how could he not ask about such a good thing?
So, people immediately found Dan Ruo and Lu Ju. Du Jingyi was much more excited than going to an appointment.
When the two of them arrived, they thought it was the madam who wanted to order them something, so they both stood respectfully. But as Du Jingyi asked the question, both of them couldn't help but blush. .
"Madam has already spoken, you two should stop being shy. If you miss her, it will be a lifetime thing, you know?"
Cherry seemed to be more anxious than the two of them, so after hearing this, the two of them thought for a moment and nodded. Seeing this, Du Jingyi said happily immediately.
"You are the eldest maids around me, so you can't be careless about getting married. Although you are all born to families in the General's Mansion, I will also buy a set for you in the courtyard outside. When you get old, if you don't want to stay in the General's Mansion, It’s inside, and you can also place it outside. As for the wedding dress, I’ll have to worry about that, Lu Ju. You’re the most skillful, so you should have no problem getting it out within three months, right?”
Within three months?
So anxious?
Seeing this, Lu Ju thought for a while and said.
"Three months is a bit urgent. I still have the general's wife and the young master's winter clothes in my hands, so I probably can't take care of them.
"It's just winter clothes. It's not like you can't wear last year's clothes. Stop what you are doing and concentrate on sewing wedding clothes for yourself and Danruo. You can choose the material and style yourself. You don't have to save. It must look good, you know?"
"Thank you ma'am for your consideration."
"Thank you for what you are doing. You have been with me for so long, and the dowry cannot be just a yard. Well, there will be five shops in the south of the city, and two hundred acres of paddy fields in the suburbs of Beijing, and a village." , and then dowry three thousand taels of silver and jewelry..."
"That's enough, madam. What I know is that you are marrying a maid. I don't know but I thought you were going to train two landowners. With such dignity, I went to Ancheng to ask, who has a maid?"
Dan Ruo seldom spoke, but when he did speak he spoke the truth. Lu Ju next to him also nodded desperately, feeling that he was not worthy of the dowry, so he wanted to stop him, but was blocked by Du Jingyi.
"What are you afraid of? Your wife, what I want most is money. This little thing is not a big deal. Just accept it. My daughter will have more money and more confidence when she gets married than when she was still a girl. You can also ask the Liu family and the Jiang family to respect you."
Several maids were deeply moved by Du Jingyi's thoughts.
For them, being able to enter the Du family and become Du Jingyi's personal maid is the luckiest thing in their lives. Now that they can get such a result, they almost wake up laughing in bed just thinking about it, so the two of them knelt down one after another. Next, Bang Bang kowtowed and said.
"We all remember how Madam treats her slaves. We will do her job well in the future and there will be no mistakes."
The two of them won't say anything else, they are both craftsmen, so just show off their craftsmanship.
Yingtao was also happy for them, so Yingtao specially requested that she want Cai's mother to help them get married, and Du Jingyi agreed immediately.
Therefore, just after the funeral in the General's Mansion, two happy events came, which made everyone feel more happy and felt that life would move on.
But seeing that their dowries were so rich, many stewards and servants in the mansion had thoughts about Li Zhu and Ying Tao.
The two of them are not interested in these men and women at all now, so they have a cold face when they come in and out every day. Let alone someone who is a person, even an unintentional person will get a headache if they see it.
From June to July, Sui'an City is getting hotter and hotter.
Fortunately, the population in the General's Mansion is not large, so most of the people using ice are concentrated in Xitang Courtyard and the four children's courtyard.
The children have grown up to five or six years old, so everyone has a separate house. Now the backyard is being expanded. When the children are about ten years old, they can have their own yard here.
In the cool breeze pavilion, Du Jingyi looked at his four sons who were already waist-high. He felt as if his children were just growing up. Although they were only five or six years old, their figures and appearance were comparable to children of seven or eight years old. Not bad either.
On the one hand, they benefited from Gu Shaoyu's training, and on the other hand, they benefited from Xia Meng's scientific parenting reminders. Therefore, the four children not only grew handsome and strong, but also showed endless vitality, as if they were a living spring. , that energy will flow out continuously.
"The shoulders are lowered and the legs are straighter. Yes, that's it."
Gu Shaoyu spoke sentence by sentence, and the four children also followed his instructions.
Compared with Gu Shaoyu three years ago, he is much fairer now. He doesn't look any older at all. It's impossible to guess that he is already nearly forty years old.
If in the past Gu Shaoyu was a majestic general and a first-class duke, then today's Gu Shaoyu is the founder of the dynasty, gradually gaining a sense of solidity, which is different from before.
He taught carefully, and Du Jingyi watched with rapt attention. The children practiced concentration and self-control, and the family of six lived a comfortable and comfortable life.
Unfortunately, such good days are few and far between.
When I come back from the Li family's birthday banquet, I'm afraid the days when I have to be wary of scheming every day will come.
After a while, when the time came, Gu Shaoyu relaxed and spoke to the four children.
"Let's stop practicing here today and continue tomorrow."
"Yes, father."
The four children answered loudly, and their voices were so loud that Du Jingyi could hear them clearly while sitting in the pavilion. When they came over, he quickly handed over the towel and warm water.
This was already a habit between mother and son. The four children took it and shouted with a smile.
"Mother."
Du Jingyi said "Ah", feeling that raising children was worry-free.
So he watched them wipe off some sweat one by one and said.
"Go back and take a rest before washing, otherwise it will hurt your body."
"Don't worry, mother, your son will watch over your brothers and will never let them make trouble!"
Du Jingyi ordered people to build a large pool in their yard, but it was not deep, just for the four children to take a bath. They have grown up now, so the people serving them, except for the wet nurse, have been replaced by several servants.
Among these servants, the most capable ones are Songshan and Ruijiang, who were selected by Du Jingyi for Tai Geer. Especially Songshan, now that he is older, he has learned a lot from housekeeper He, so his words and deeds reveal the style of a manager in a large family.
Seeing his current situation, Du Jingyi is relieved that Tai Geer will go south to manage the Gu family in the future. (End of this chapter)
