Chapter 53: Blinded by Money
If it is said that before, Madam Dou was still a little worried.
Now, after following Du Jingyi's walk, she felt relieved.
After looking at the courtyards of several people, Du Jingyi led people to the main courtyard of the general's mansion.
This area is close to the north, and there is no outstanding scenery.
But the advantage is that the land is spacious, giving Du Jingyi enough space to play.
Housekeeper He suggested according to what she just said.
"Madam, you can build a garden here, and find some masters from Jiangnan to build it carefully. It will definitely look good."
Du Jingyi nodded, shook her head again, and said with a smile.
"The garden must be built, but the martial arts training ground that the general uses on weekdays must also be cleared and arranged. Without such a large general's mansion, the atmosphere of soft whispers everywhere will not be good for the general's reputation."
Housekeeper He said with a look of realization.
"Young Madam is right. I almost overlooked it."
"However, I have to trouble Manager He to discuss with the general about how to build this martial arts training ground. I am just a woman in the back house and I really don't understand the ins and outs of this."
"Young Madam, don't worry. Leave it to me."
"Of course."
Then she walked around the yard again and divided the land immediately.
She explained clearly where to build a garden, where to leave open space, where to decorate, and how to transform.
After all the trouble, it was almost evening.
Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the wooden pillars and bluestones of the entire general's mansion, it was faintly warm.
Everyone felt comforted when they saw it. Finally, there was a way out.
Everything will get better.
When leaving, Du Jingyi also took people to count the warehouse in the main courtyard.
The people guarding here are Shang Ji's trusted guards in the army.
Therefore, not only are ordinary people not allowed to approach, but there is no possibility of losing anything.
The ten thousand taels of gold bestowed by the emperor sounded a bit light.
But when everyone really opened the boxes and cages, the golden ingots, one by one, looked like little golden pigs that would give birth, and fell into Du Jingyi's eyes.
Steward He and Madam Dou, who came with them, were also worldly-wise.
When they saw this "scene in the warehouse", they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Not to mention the maids Yingtao and Lizhu next to them.
The Du family is rich, and their young lady is also rich. They have known this since they were young.
But the money is mostly on the books, in the furniture, and in the interpersonal relationships.
It is really the first time that it is so nakedly displayed in front of you.
It must be said that the impact of ten thousand taels of gold is still very large.
Even Du Jingyi was silent for a while before speaking.
"Your Majesty treats the general very well. We must be loyal to him."
Her words sounded joking.
But who knew that the two stupid girls beside her would swear an oath immediately.
"Even if I have to go through fire and water, I will never betray the general or the young lady!"
Then she said to herself that she would never betray this golden tael.
Such a determined look made Du Jingyi, housekeeper He and Madam Dou laugh.
They stood in the warehouse and admired it for a long time.
Then Du Jingyi said to housekeeper He and Madam Dou.
"Let's start the construction tomorrow. The sooner it is completed, the sooner we can move into the mansion."
"Yes, Madam!"
Then Du Jingyi said to Madam Dou.
"I remember that the nanny picked out a few auspicious dates for me last time. The 26th of next month doesn't seem to be a good day. Why don't we set it on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month? Three or two months will be enough for you to fix this place?"
"Don't worry, Madam. One or two months will be enough. We just need to move our things in the East Garden. That's about right."
"Okay, in that case, let's arrange it. Move it in on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. We can cook Laba porridge in the mansion in a few days. We can celebrate the New Year in a lively manner. It will definitely be a good omen for the next year!"
Du Jingyi's words were full of expectations for the future.
Not only her, but also everyone present.
After handling things in the General's Mansion, Du Jingyi led everyone back to the Duke's Mansion.
I didn't feel it when I went there, but now after such a comparison in the General's Mansion, Du Jingyi really disliked the East Garden, which he originally thought was pretty good.
But fortunately, it only took three or two months.
After moving things one after another, I didn't feel that the days were long.
After having dinner alone, Du Jingyi felt a little tired.
So she asked Yingtao to bring a wooden barrel over, and she soaked her feet in the ear room.
This afternoon, she walked a road that Du Jingyi had not walked in the past ten days and a half.
Her skin was originally delicate, so the soles of her feet were a little red and swollen.
Fortunately, the shoes were made by Lu Ju himself, otherwise, I am afraid that they would be rubbed.
The delicate feet were put into the warm water, and it was a little painful at first, but slowly they became comfortable.
Du Jingyi sighed.
"Today is really tiring."
Yingtao, the maid who served her next to her, heard it and laughed, and echoed.
"Young Madam, you have worked hard today. You have to deal with the affairs of the fifth room and the general's mansion. You are really exhausted. I will massage your feet later. I guarantee that you will not hurt after you sleep."
"Forget it, you have been with me all day, so you should wash up and rest early. Starting tomorrow, we should clean up the things in the yard and move them over slowly, so that we can buy more things bit by bit."
Du Jingyi ordered, and the maid Yingtao nodded and replied immediately.
"Well, rest assured, Madam, I will do it."
"The two golden pines at the door need to be taken care of. Find an experienced gardener to take care of them. I don't want all the famous species that are moved over to die."
"Got it."
It is an indisputable fact that Du Jingyi is rich.
But at the same time, she is not wasteful.
And these flowers, plants and trees have been with her for three years. Who says that plants and trees can be treated ruthlessly?
She is reluctant to do so.
She explained while soaking her feet.
The master and servant were talking in the ear room, and suddenly Lizhu rushed in from outside.
With the look of someone who has heard some great news, she deliberately lowered her voice and said to Du Jingyi.
"Madam, the general and the eldest young lady had a quarrel."
Not to mention Du Jingyi's disbelief, Cherry was also very surprised.
She immediately replied.
"How is that possible? Did you hear it wrong?"
Lizhu frowned, but her expression was like I'm a dog if I lie to you.
Then she said.
"It happened in the morning, and the young lady was taking a nap at that time."
