Chapter 71 Night Talk

Du Jingyi understood this point very well.

So she did not turn around, but just pulled Shang Ji's hand and shook it back and said firmly.

"I don't think I am an upright person. I didn't care about the third and fifth rooms in the past because I felt that they didn't touch my foundation. But now, since I want to return this Duke's Mansion to Ping'er, these unnecessary things that are annoying should be cleared away."

Her statement made Shang Ji hold her in his arms tighter, and then he said sincerely.

"Just let it go and do it. If something goes wrong, I will take responsibility. As for Madam Wei, Silang is useless, you don't need to deal with him. But be careful with Qilang. My intuition after many years in the army tells me that he is not as clear as he looks."

Shang Qilang?

Du Jingyi didn't have a deep impression, but she had never cared about these people in the Shang family before, so she naturally knew little.

If you want to clean up completely, you must first understand your opponent.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy is the key to success.

Therefore, Du Jingyi thought it was time to go out and meet some people.

So she said to her husband Shang Ji.

"General, I wonder how much do housekeeper He and Nanny Dou know about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"You must first know the opponent's weaknesses before you know how to get rid of them."

Hearing this, Shang Ji also felt that it made sense.

After thinking about it, he answered.

"Both of them came with their mother as dowry, so they have been in the mansion for more than 30 years. I estimate that they know 70% to 80% of the things."

Then she added another sentence.

"If you want to know more, I'm afraid you have to ask my sister-in-law. After all, she has been the head of the family and knows something."

"Well, I know, and I will find a chance to bother my sister-in-law."

Shang Ji suddenly interrupted her after hearing what she said.

"Let's do it later. I haven't explained it to my sister-in-law yet."

Du Jingyi raised his eyebrows and wanted to turn around, but Shang Ji's chin locked his shoulders, so he couldn't turn back.

I didn't expect that a general who was nearly 30 years old and majestic would also be embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi smiled slightly.

But he didn't say much.

The two talked and chatted, and no one knew when they fell asleep.

It was just that night, Du Jingyi slept with Shang Ji's arm as a pillow.

So much so that when he woke up the next day, he even thought that his hand had lost consciousness.

There were two people sitting on the stall of Liu Ji Wonton at this moment.

Looking at the luxurious appearance of their clothes, it can be seen that they are nobles who are not easy to mess with.

Therefore, the Liu couple smiled and served two bowls of steaming wontons.

The skin is thin and the filling is small, which is different from the wontons we usually see.

But the small one is easy to eat.

Du Jingyi saw the food on the table, and he was not polite. With some excitement in his eyes, he took the chopsticks and prepared to eat.

He took a bite, and it was indeed the same nostalgic taste as before.

He sighed while eating.

"The wontons in their house must be eaten fresh, otherwise the taste will not be right if you take them back."

At this point, he also said to his husband Shang Ji.

"Please... husband, try it too, it's delicious."

Shang Ji did not move his chopsticks, but instead looked at Du Jingyi seriously, and then said.

"In the past, everyone in my family called me Shao Yu. If you want, you can do so."

Shao Yu?

Shang Shao Yu?

Seeing that Du Jingyi did not speak, Shang Ji explained again.

"My grandfather gave me this name, hoping that I can live a life without worries and experience less speculation and worries."

So that's it.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled, like a flower bud that just bloomed in March, revealing a charming vitality.

"He must love you very much."

"Yeah."

When Shang Ji mentioned his grandfather's family, he always had a touch of tenderness on his body.

Du Jingyi could see that his affection for the Gu family was hundreds and thousands of times better than for the Shang family.

After all, that was the real home he recognized.

A wonton entered Shang Ji's mouth, and it tasted really good.

However, judging from Dan Ruo's craftsmanship, the one that made his wife still miss it must not be bad.

So, he also used a lot.

After three bowls, Shang Ji was full.

Originally, Du Jingyi thought that her husband was too much of a eater, but when she turned around and saw five empty bowls in front of Luo Yuan at another table, she felt that it was also the nature of a man to be able to eat.

It was bitter for Cherry, looking at Luo Yuan's heroic way of eating, she couldn't help but frowned again.

After eating and drinking, it was natural to find something to do.

After finally being able to rest for a few days, Shang Ji would not be trapped in the Duke's Mansion every day.

Therefore, the two did not go back, but walked side by side on the street.

When he was in Cezhou, he also liked to walk around in his spare time, feeling the life in the market and the people's hope of a stable life, so that he could have more strength when defending the territory.

Thinking of this, his steps also slowed down.

Du Jingyi did not have the same lofty idea of ​​shopping as Shang Ji, but wanted to see what people liked now?

Is there a chance for her to participate in it, or do something?

In short, it is still impossible to avoid the word making money.

The couple walked and stopped on the street, and behind them, except Luo Yuan, there were only maids Yingtao and Lizhu.

So it didn't attract many people's attention.

Others would only think that it was a rich young man with his wife out shopping, and didn't think much about it.

After all, Sui'an City was the capital of the Daxing Dynasty. If you just patted it, you would probably hit some princes and sons.

It was a common thing.

While strolling around, what surprised Shang Ji was probably Du Jingyi's eyesight.

Whether it was jade and stone treasures, rouge and powder, fine wine and food, cloth and silk, tea and porcelain, or even some imported goods, she could tell them all.

She could tell where they came from, what raw materials were used, how the craftsmanship was performed, and even the market price.

Such a skill made Shang Ji look at her with new eyes.

But on second thought, the Du family was so rich, and Du Jingyi was always smart, so she would always know more than ordinary people because of what she saw and heard.

But what he didn't know was that 60% of these shops were owned by Du Jingyi, and even if they were not, they had close business dealings with the Du family.

So, for Du Jingyi, saying these words was indeed as simple as a daily routine.

There is shopping and there is eating.

The two of them stopped in front of a restaurant.

"This is Zuixianlou, the largest restaurant in the city. I wonder if Madam has ever had a meal here before?"

Du Jingyi paused, not knowing whether he should say that the Du family owned a large share of this restaurant, so it shouldn't be too much to exaggerate and say that this is their own restaurant.
