Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 150 Making a Wedding Dress

But genuinely curious.

Now she has come to understand that the matter of giving in the palm is originally for the capable.

Seeing that they moved to the general's mansion to live these comfortable days, one knows that Du Jingyi's royal skills are great.

So, live a good life with peace of mind.

I mentioned this today out of curiosity.

After what happened last time, Du Jingyi also understood the situation of sister-in-law.

So when she mentioned it, she didn't hide it, she smiled and gathered the clothes on her body and said.

"Well, Mrs. Wei wants to overhaul the Duke's Mansion, which is a good thing, and I heard that Prince Fu's Mansion even specially sent 20 taels of silver to the door. I think this repair will be labor-intensive, so I asked the masonry team to do it specially. Take [-]% less profit, so we won Mrs. Wei."

Mrs. Xing felt strange and asked a question in reply.

"Didn't you all move out? Why are you still in charge of the Duke's Mansion? She is now repairing it for the benefit of her children and grandchildren. Are you still meddling?"

"Not necessarily, Auntie."

Du Jingyi took a candied fruit in his mouth and said.

"Dongyuan is burning badly, and Beiyuan has been evacuated again. I have carefully calculated that it will take at least two or three years for that area to be repaired as before. No one can say for sure what will happen after two or three years."

"I just like to see Mrs. Wei plucking her hair and making plans, but in the end, she is beaten like a chicken."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xing took a deep look at Du Jingyi.

It's just that she didn't say much.

With Shang Ji's current status, he should naturally go back to succeed the Duke's Mansion.

But she always felt that the couple were not enthusiastic about it, as if they were paving the way for others.

Suddenly he thought of Shang Zhiping who was training outside with his son.

Immediately understood.

When she looked at Du Jingyi again, she felt a little admired.

It's right for Shang Ji to plan for his nephew.

But once the position of the young master in the Duke's Mansion is handed over to Shang Zhiping, it is not a matter of a generation.

That means that either Shang Ji's meritorious service can be higher, and he can also reach the point of being hereditary.

Otherwise, their children would be just children of wealthy families, without any protection.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing had to admit that even she might not be able to match Du Jingyi's broad-mindedness.

On the contrary, Du Jingyi, who was the person involved, was still greedy for the candied fruit, and didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

In her eyes, it is really a good thing to use her money and effort to repair the result she wants.

Mrs. Wei has been calculating others all her life, God has eyes, and it is time for her to experience being calculated by others a few more times.

So, laugh innocently.

But Cherry, who is familiar with her, can see the pride in this smile.

Sister-in-law Liu had a vague guess, but it was not something she could ask.

Therefore, I told myself not to think too much, lest I fall into the previous predicament again.

Several people chatted and laughed, and then moved the topic to the side.

In this way, Mrs. Wei worked hard to "make wedding dresses" for others, and the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month arrived as scheduled.

Although everyone moved into the General's Mansion in advance, they still performed many housewarming rituals in a decent manner today.

The happiest thing is the servants in the general's mansion.

Although Steward He and Nanny Dou were strict, they couldn't resist Du Jingyi's lavish spending.

Today, one person got 66 taels of silver, but they may not have been paid for ten years of work.

And there are three newly-made jackets, which are decent and fit.

Under such circumstances, everyone laughed like a watermelon that had been opened, and couldn't put it down even more.

Such a wealthy master's family followed Ancheng's search, but they could not be found.

And the rules are clearly established, as long as they don't have any crooked thoughts and do things well in the mansion, they won't be treated badly.

So one or two of them rushed to do any job as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Not only active, but also serious and careful.

Du Jingyi was also happy to see it.

She is not stingy with the shopkeeper, so that people can see the future, have money to earn, and have ideas to think about, so that they will not give up long-term livelihood for the benefit of three melons and two dates.

This method is also used in the general's mansion.

When I come up, I will give them sweet dates to eat. I am used to this, no matter how many temptations there are outside, I have to weigh whether it is worthwhile or not.

This time, there were a lot of firecrackers, and the crackling was like New Year's Eve.

Steward He and Madam Dou were still outside directing the servants at home, those who sprinkled sugar sprinkled sugar, those who sprinkled copper coins sprinkled copper coins, and those who gave away the porridge gave out porridge.

Therefore, the people outside to join in the fun are also happy to say a lot of auspicious words.

When Shang Ji brought people back, he happened to encounter this scene.

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he knew it must be his wife's idea.

On the other hand, Luo Yuan, who was also riding a horse beside him, grinned and said.

"The general should get some rewards, otherwise, if the young lady continues to squander like this, I'm afraid our general's mansion will be pawned in a few years."

Of course he was joking, but Shang Ji looked sideways at him when he heard it.

"I see that you have been outside for a long time, and your heart is wild. Why don't you go back to the Huben army camp and stay for half a month?"

Dare to tease his wife, Luo Yuan is obviously looking for guilt for himself.

Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, he said flatteringly.

"Hey, there are a lot of generals. I just came back from outside. I still have a good life for a few days. I..."

Before Luo Yuan finished speaking, Shang Ji got off his horse and headed straight for the gate of the General's Mansion.

Luo Yuan secretly rejoiced that he escaped again.

He also got off the horse and hurried forward.

Steward He and Nanny Dou were even more happy when they saw the two of them coming back.

"General, are you back?"

Their voices were not too loud, so they didn't attract much attention.

But many people present still saw Shang Ji.

How could such a majestic general forget.

So one and two said sincerely.

"Thank you, General, for the reward."

Faced with the enthusiasm of the common people, Shang Ji raised his hand slightly and said.

"I, like all of you, enjoy the kindness of the heavenly family, so if you want to thank me, you should thank Your Majesty."

In a word, it solved the suspicion of outsiders about the General's Mansion very well.

Then he entered the gate of the mansion.

Now it is only [-] days before the New Year, Xing Zhao came to the news, saying that it will arrive in Suian City in ten days or so.

By that time, it was almost time for him to rest.

At that time, he must go out of the city to meet his grandmother and his party in person.

While thinking, he walked inside.

After crossing the front hall, bypassing the second courtyard, until entering the gate of Xitang courtyard, I heard bursts of laughter.
