Chapter 599 The Princess Over the Wall

"I didn't think about anything, I didn't think about anything." Chen shi sighed, "Brother Ning, why do I feel that these days are not as comfortable as when I was in Fucheng?"

Du Jinning laughed: "You live your life, and no one cares about you. How can you be uncomfortable? It's just that the fourth sister is married, so you have nothing to worry about, it's empty."

Chen Shi also knew this was the case.

She said: "You said, should I also find something to do like you thank your aunt?"

"Yes." Du Jinning said, "I'll give you 1000 taels of silver to do the book, and you can do whatever business you want. The only thing is, don't overwork yourself."

"This..." Mrs. Chen hesitated, "What if I lose money?"

"If you lose, you will lose. Your son, I can make money. Even if I lose, I can afford it." Du Jinning said in a very strong tone.

Mrs. Chen laughed when she said it: "Okay, with your words, I will let go."

Having said that, she still wanted to ask Du Jinning for advice: "You still give me an idea, let's see what I can do to make a living."

But Du Jinning shook his head: "If I give you an idea, then ask Yao Shuqi or Zhuang Yue to help you start the business, what fun would you have? Then, you can find Zhuang Yue or Lu Xiaobei, let They will give you advice; after that, you can also go to the Fang family's mother to see what she does with the dowry in her hand. After making a decision, you can order your people to do this. I He Zhuang Yue and Yao Shuqi don't care, I'll just wait half a year to see if you've won or lost. By the way, when you go out to do errands, you'd better take your cousin with you, and let her know more."

The Chen family is also open to letting go. All three daughters are married at this moment, and they are all married to excellent families. They don't have to worry about food and clothing, and she doesn't have to worry about it; Excellent job in all respects.She also knew that Zhuang Yue earned a lot of silver taels for Du Jinning every day in the business managed by Zhuang Yue, and Du Jinning was really not short of the 1000 taels of silver.

"That's good, let's do it like this." She patted the armrest and said proudly.

Du Jinning looked at his mother who suddenly became radiant, heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to tell Aoki: "Go to Housekeeper Yao and ask him to pay 1000 taels of silver to his wife."

"No, no, no." Chen waved his hand, "I have money in my hand, so don't give it to me."

Du Jinning did not hand over the Du family's money to anyone else, she has always been in charge of it herself.Every month, she would give 200 taels of silver to Chen's family, and every year, she would give Chen 1000 taels of silver to buy jewelry, make clothes, or keep it as private money.

Du's family didn't have many servants, and they paid out monthly allowances and one-term expenses. More than 100 taels of silver was more than enough, and the rest was kept by the Chen family.The 1000 taels of silver Du Jinning gave to the Chen family was useless. The dowry and expenses of the sisters' marriage were all paid by Du Jinning.Therefore, in the past few years, Mrs. Chen has accumulated a lot of money.

"This is specially for your business, you take it." Du Jinning signaled Aoki to do it.

Mrs. Chen was about to speak when she saw a servant girl running in in a panic. When she saw Du Jinning was also there, her expression relaxed, and she said, "Madam, master, there is a person who turned over the wall of the neighbor's house and said that he wanted to see you." Madame, Biao girl is watching over there, let the slaves come and report."

"Next door?" Du Jinning frowned and asked, "What kind of person, have you seen clearly?"

"It's a young girl, about my age, and she looks pretty." The servant girl said, "Although she is wearing a servant's clothes and alone, but judging by her aura, she should be the daughter of a rich family."

Du Jinning took a look at the maid, and saw that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was articulate and graceful.

She turned her head to Chen Shi and said, "Let's go and have a look together."

Next door is Ji's house, which involves Zhao Chang, she can't leave this matter to Chen's.

Du Jinning and his mother followed the maid and walked out.

This house was favored by Du Jinning at the beginning because of its sparse and scattered houses and a lot of flowers and trees, which also made the place with few people visited a bit desolate.

A group of people passed through two arches and walked along the pond for a while, when they saw a maid looking around on the side of the road.

Seeing them coming, the servant girl was overjoyed, trotted forward and said: "Madam..." Seeing that Du Jinning was also following behind, she paused for a moment, her expression a little nervous, and she called softly: "Master." Look at Mrs. Chen.

"Where?" Chen asked.

"In the girls' court."

Mrs. Chen turned her head and glanced at Du Jinning.

The girl mentioned by the maid is Chen's niece, Du Jinning's "fiancée" Chen Li.In order to prevent Chen Li from getting angry with her, Du Jinning never got in touch with her, and the two of them almost never met face to face.Even if we occasionally meet at home, we avoid them when we see them from a distance.

Now that Mrs. Chen is going to Chen Li's yard, it would be bad for Du Jinning to follow.

This house was personally selected and arranged by Du Jinning, so he naturally knew where Chen Li's yard was.

She pointed to a pavilion not far in front of her, and said to Chen Shi: "Mother, I won't go with you, I'll go there and wait, if you have anything to do, you can call the servant girl to report to me. If that person is really difficult Please bring her here, and I will ask her personally."

Naturally, Mrs. Chen knew the reason why Du Jinning avoided Chen Li, nodded and said: "That's fine." Then she took the maid and mother-in-law to Chen Li's yard.

Du Jinning took Aoki to the gazebo.

Mrs. Chen entered the yard, and after a while, she came out in a hurry, waved her hand to stop the servant girl who followed her, went straight to the gazebo, and said to Aoki: "You stay away, I have something important to tell your young master .”

Aoki hurriedly exited the gazebo, walked to a place far away from here and stopped to prevent others from coming.

Du Jinning looked at Chen Shi suspiciously.

"Brother Ning." Chen's expression was very nervous, and her voice was extremely soft, "She said she was a princess."

Du Jinning was taken aback.

"What princess? Why has she come to our house? What does she want?" she asked.

"She didn't say what princess, she just asked us to notify King Jing to come over."

Du Jinning raised his eyebrows, but he knew who the princess was.

The new emperor is only in his 20s this year, and the oldest child under his knee is only ten years old. He is a prince.He gave birth to a princess, but she is only two years old this year.

As for the princesses born by the former emperor, they were only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the only one with whom she had met last time was Zhao Mingyue, the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom.

I heard that Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Chang have a good relationship because they are about the same age.Today is the old lady Ji's birthday, and it is possible that Zhao Mingyue came to wish the old lady a birthday.It's just that she didn't know what happened, but she came across the wall from the next door by herself wearing a maid's clothes.
