Chapter 542 He Du Family

Mr. Du's words are not unreasonable, but the official positions that can be bought and sold are the size of sesame seeds and mung beans, and the level is not as good as what he had in Pingzhou City, so He Shilin is not sure he will be willing.

Du Jingyi didn't think this could happen, but Xing Zhao next to him heard it and took it to heart.

"Don't rush into this matter. Let's take a look at my brother-in-law's wishes. If he doesn't want to come to Sui'an City, your arrangement will make him uncomfortable. Isn't it in vain?"

"Having said that, we also have good intentions, mainly for the sake of our children."

"I know you have good intentions, but don't make it a bad thing. If you have the opportunity, it would be most suitable to be transferred to Sui'an City through a normal official career. But if you want to buy an official position, I think it's better to give up this idea!"

Mr. Du and Mrs. Du sighed and could only look at the happily playing children on the side and said nothing more.

After leaving the Du family, Du Jingyi also looked worried.

Sister A’s children are also her nieces and nephews. How could she not plan for them? It's just that her parents' method is really not very good, so she doesn't agree with it.

Even if Xia Meng saw her silence, he couldn't help. After entering the general's mansion, it was time for the children to go back to rest, and then Xing Zhao stopped Du Jingyi.

"What's wrong? Cousin Zhao, do you have something to tell me?"

"When my cousin left, he told me not to stir up any trouble at home, so today my cousin came back from her parents' home feeling depressed. But are you bothered by Brother He's affairs?"

"You have a sharp eye."

Xing Zhao smiled, and then waited for Du Jingyi to speak. Du Jingyi did not hide it from him, so he told him about his parents' intention to buy an official position for his brother-in-law He Shilin.

"Of course I don't agree, but my Du family has no way to help my brother-in-law in Sui'an City. The general is far away in Wangzhou, and the Guo family has only just recovered. I can't bother them with these things, so You have to think of another way.”

After listening to Du Jingyi's words, Xing Zhao smiled, looking confident.

"What should I do? My cousin is not in Sui'an City. Doesn't this still belong to me? Leave brother-in-law He's affairs to me. I guarantee that I won't use the Xing family's connections and can make him obey smoothly. Transferred from the state.”

"Seriously? Can you do it?"

"Cousin, are you looking down on people? Do you think I have been living for free in Sui'an City all these years? It's more obvious if I enter Sui'an City. How about going to Xuanzhou? It's only half a day's journey from Sui'an City.

Xuanzhou is the closest place to Sui'an City, and it is also very close to the place where the Tigers and Tigers once trained. If we hurry up, we can reach Sui'an City from Xuanzhou in three or four hours, so if this is true, Of course Du Jingyi was grateful to Xing Zhao for being able to handle it.

Therefore, Du Jingyi's eyebrows brightened a lot, and then he spoke to Xing Zhao.

"Is this going to trouble my cousin? Don't worry, if we need to clear things up or something, all the expenses will be taken from my private account and I will never embarrass you."

Xing Zhao nodded, because even if he refused, his cousin would still have to remember this matter, so why bother?

With Xing Zhao's words just now, Du Jingyi can sleep well tonight.

But she didn't overdo it. After all, the matter hadn't been settled yet. It would be her fault if she made the head of the family happy in vain, so she told Xing Zhao and treated it as if it never happened. .

Two days later, everyone in the Du family was congratulating Master Du on his birthday.

They are not a noble family, so the banquet was naturally not as exaggerated as Mr. Li's. However, all the relatives and friends who were supposed to come were also present, and the scene was quite lively.

The General's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion, the Guo Family, the Li Family and the Earl's Mansion were all invited. As for the Xing family, Du Jingyi sent someone to send the post, but the result was as expected. No one from the Xing family came, just a few people People came to send congratulatory gifts, and this post was considered complete.

The Han family are now imperial merchants, so they have some contacts with these noble families, so they are not afraid of the scene, but other merchant families are a little uncomfortable with it.

"If Brother Du hadn't invited us here, we wouldn't have seen such a character, and Brother Du must be so proud!"

"That's right. Your little girl is marrying well. Look at all the unattainable people she associates with. It's all thanks to you."

Those who spoke in a hurry naturally meant it sincerely, but He Shilin's face standing aside was not that good. He was slightly pale, his eyes were downcast, and his shoulders were slumped a lot.

Mr. Du is such a fine person, he said quickly.

"The younger daughter naturally married well, but that's because she has a harmonious relationship with her second uncle and the family is stable, so she married well. My eldest daughter also married well. Her parents-in-law love her, her husband cares about her, and her children are filial."

His words could be regarded as giving He Shilin some face and protection. Others reacted and agreed, but it was unclear how much of it was sincere and how much was false.

Although He Qianyun is young, he still has the ability to read people's faces. He and the four brothers Tai Geer followed Master Du, talking and socializing with the guests.

It has to be said that the more such an occasion, the more calm and comfortable the Tai brothers can be reflected. Although He Qianyun did not want to show too much restraint, he had only been in Sui'an City for a few days. month's time.

Seeing these elders, they were all familiar faces, so she was not shy, but she could not act as carefree and funny as Tai Ge'er and the others.

He Shilin saw it and felt very distressed, but he was not the protagonist today, so he had to smile even if he had to force himself to.

Du Jingxiang was better than him. After all, the people who came today were people he had met before, and with Mrs. Du and Du Jingyi there, the ladies were also amused. Although she was not the protagonist, she said a few words from time to time, which was still very comfortable.

In addition, the eldest sister-in-law Liu and Xue Niang helped, so the atmosphere was good.

"Mrs. Du is so lucky to have two such caring daughters, and her sons-in-law respect you. Her grandchildren are so lively and lovely. We are really envious of her."

"That's not true, Countess. If you say that having a daughter is a blessing, everyone in the world knows that the Earl's Mansion has a queen. I can't compare with you."

No one from the Xing family came today, so those who came naturally praised the Earl's Mansion and the Yan family.

In addition, the wife of the Minister Li and Mrs. Li spoke together, and the Countess smiled sincerely, but whether it was really so happy was their business.
