The banquet began, and Du Yi was not in the mood to watch those songs and dances, so he only cared about feeding Xiao Shuai. Because the people's lives are not good, the meals at this year's palace banquet are all vegetarian. The vegetables are produced by the Marquis of Zhongyong. Outsiders know that the greenhouse is Ling Fan's industry, but the Marquis Zhongyong said early in the morning that it is the property of the Hou Mansion. The meaning of the Hou Mansion to the outside world, those things are all the dowry industry of the Ling Yang family.

Now in the capital, everyone envies the wealth of the Ling Yang family, and even more envies Lin Heru. The Ling Yang family does not have a daughter, and in the future, all this will be inherited by her daughter-in-law.

"Mother, Xiaoshuai is full!" The little guy put down his chopsticks and patted his belly to indicate that he was full. Immediately, those eyes looked at the young child with a purr.

Wan Qingqing has always paid attention to Xiao Shuai, and when he saw him looking at himself, he smiled flatteringly at Xiao Shuai. Xiao Shuai turned his head very arrogantly and looked at Du Yi.

Qingqing stared at Xiao Shuai a little aggrieved for a while, then struggled down from the stool, walked to Xiao Shuai's side, and shouted timidly: "Handsome brother!" ”

Xiao Shuai buried his head directly in Du Yi's arms, as if he didn't hear it. Girls are crybags, and he doesn't like them.

After Du Yi heard Wan Qingqing's handsome brother, she was drinking soup, and she almost burst into laughter on the spot. With that mouthful of soup in my mouth, I couldn't go up or down, and I almost choked.

Xiao Shuai hurriedly patted Du Yi, and said in a milky voice: "Mother, it's okay, it's okay!" You go away, I don't want to talk to you! ”

The little guy thinks that his mother will be like this, and it is all Wan Qingqing's harm. As soon as he said this, Wan Qingqing pursed her mouth, and finally tears dripped down, she was hated!

The movement of Du Yi's table attracted the sideways glances of the other table people. When she saw Doy's behavior, she frowned again, and some people secretly said that she was really a person of bad character. There are no rules at all, let alone etiquette. No matter how well dressed and beautiful you are, it's just a straw bag.

In Du Yi's view, the banquet of the palace can be directly summed up in four idioms: singing and dancing, staggering, overflowing with wine, and drumming.

And she, at all, is not interested in any of this. Those women who invited themselves to perform, she would look at each one without a trace, plus Ling Yang introduced her in her ear, who is the daughter of the family, how old is it, what is the personality, etc.

When she was listening to this, she would take a look at the Empress Dowager of the East Palace from time to time. Her appearance is on par with the Empress Dowager Wan, her momentum is outgoing, while the Empress Dowager Wan's is introverted. In her opinion, people who don't know how to hide their edges are doomed, especially if she has other thoughts.

Halfway through the banquet, Du Yi saw that the Empress Dowager Wan was gone, and the Lady of Wan Huhou beside her had left more than once. After thinking about it, he explained in Ling Yang's ear, and when he saw her nodding, he took Xiaoshuai to the place where he had made an appointment with Empress Dowager Wan before.

Empress Dowager Wan hadn't seen her mother for a long time, and when she saw that her mother's clothes were the same as they were last year, she was even more determined to cooperate with Du Yi. I don't know if Doe saw her leave, and if she came over now.

When Mrs. Wanhu Hou saw that her eldest daughter was doing well in the palace, she breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave, when she heard Dao Duyi's voice coming: "Sister-in-law, Yi Yi is late, please forgive me!" ”

Mrs. Wanhu Hou was very surprised to hear Du Yi's voice and her words. Du Yi called her eldest sister-in-law, so what is her identity, she is still combing a girl's hair, she didn't look dazzled, right?

"Mother, now it's all my own people, and I won't say kind words anymore. The reason why I called Yi Yi here is because I have something to say to you. Yiyi, you have also seen that our Wanhu Hou Mansion has become like this now, and there is a big reason why it is from Zi Yifeng. Of course, there is also a part of the reason why we are not doing well. Now I want to ask you to help, and I believe you, absolutely. Is there any way you can save our Wanhu Mansion? You also know that the current situation in the imperial court is like this, and it is impossible to rely on you alone. If there are 10,000 households to help together, it will achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

Empress Dowager Wan's words fell into Du Yi's arms. What she urgently lacks is talents, and the Wanhu Hou Mansion, which is in business all year round, is the most lacking. If she wants to develop the canal, she needs these people.

"It's not impossible. What Wanhu Hou lacks most now is silver, and talent is not lacking, I know. But I would like to ask, are those shops still there? ”

When Mrs. Wanhu Hou heard this, under the gaze of the Empress Dowager Wan, she lowered her head and said, "No, the last shop has been sold by Master Hou." Now there is only one Hou Mansion left, an empty shell. ”

Empress Dowager Wan didn't think that her maiden family was already so bad. In her impression, there are at least a few more shops, how can it become like this?

She didn't think that if there were still a few shops, how could her younger siblings and her mother still wear last year's clothes? She thought that the silver she gave last year was because her family was a little better, so she would give her more silver. Unexpectedly, the life of the family became more and more difficult, and Wan Huhou simply sold the shop before he made up the silver and gave it to her.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't, then can I ask, if I need to use people, how many people can use them for me? These people must be trustworthy and reliable? I now have a plan that I'm preparing to execute, and I need a lot of talent. If this matter can be accomplished, then the Hou Mansion can be given silver. However, the time may last for a long time, and in the past two or three years, there will be no profit recovery. During this time, how much silver can I give to those people every month, and the Wanhu Hou Mansion will receive the same, maybe? ”

For Doe, this is the equivalent of hiring someone. But there is another point, the project of the canal is huge, and it is impossible to rely on her, Ling Yuanfan and Yu Ziheng alone.

If there is the addition of Wanhu Houfu, it will be different. Maybe the project that originally took two or three years to complete was completed in half a year or a year, and there are talents or something everywhere. This is a big saving in terms of capital costs.

"Okay, no problem!"

Mrs. Wanhu Hou heard that she could arrange for the original subordinates, and she could have silver to take, and after a few years, there would be other silver to take, so she didn't wait for her to go back to discuss with Lord Hou, so she agreed on her own.

If she agrees, it will be limited to herself. How to do it will have to wait for Hou Ye and the others to discuss it with Du Yi before we will know.

After Mrs. Wanhu Hou answered, she looked at Du Yi and wondered, "I don't know what the girl's identity is?" "Fang Cai Ling Yang introduced Du Yi as her niece, but later heard Du Yi call her daughter the imperial sister-in-law, could it be that she is a woman from Ziyi City?

Zi Yifeng has already married, and she has seen her wife Wang Chengxiang's daughter. Du Yi is from the Loyal and Brave Mansion, and the Loyal and Brave Mansion is the regent's person, is it true? Then her child, is it also from Ziyi City?

Mrs. Wanhu Hou was frightened by her own association, if this is really the case, this girl is too good at forbearance, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Mother, Yiyi is the daughter of the original Fengcheng Du Mansion, and for more than three years, she gave birth to a son for Yicheng. For the sake of Kun'er, the two have not married until now. Now for the sake of the child, when the New Year begins, he has to get married in secret. In the past few years, the silver that Yicheng has filled in has been provided by Yiyi, and she has really been wronged! ”

Empress Dowager Wan's explanation, Mrs. Wanhu Hou understood the twists and turns, and looked at Du Yi helplessly and gratefully: "When the people survive the past two years, when that person is eradicated, of course, you can let you stand in front of everyone in front of everyone." ”

Doe just smiled, in this case, she was not good at talking. Whether she can be bright or not, for her, there is no difference. As long as Zi Yicheng can treat her well, Xiaoshuai can understand all this, and can help the original owner get back the family property, then all the sacrifices are worth it.

In the middle of this process, she Duyi not only gained a group of reliable people, but also her own industry, why not? She didn't have to rely on men to live. Her future dignity will also have to be won by herself, rather than waiting for a man to justify her name.

The banquet was also coming to an end, Du Yi took Xiao Shuai back first, and when he returned to his position, he whispered in Du Ling's ear, and then patiently watched the performers on stage.

With it, his eyes also scanned around, but this time, he saw Du Zilin. Du Yi didn't know how she got in, but at this time she praised on stage, look at the winter, dress so little and dance, isn't it cold?

When he noticed that Du Zilin's eyes were looking at a place intentionally or unintentionally, Du Yi subconsciously looked at Empress Dowager Ding. After reading it, she couldn't help but laugh. In front of Empress Dowager Ding, she dared to do this, and she was bold enough. Now there is another good show to watch, and there is no need to wait for her to make a move, naturally someone will clean her up.

It seems that Orange Rose is by her side, but it doesn't take much effort, and after she goes back, she must reward that girl well. How could she have such a caring girl?

The banquet was over, and Ling Yang had just walked out with Du Yi. Baimei Ziding was waiting outside, and after Du Yi picked up Xiaoshuai into the carriage, he just wanted to get into the carriage, when he heard a voice not far away with the intention of showing off: "Sister, wait, you can take me back!" The family came with the sixth master, he had something to stay in the palace, and he knew that you were going back, so he asked the family to follow his sister and you. ”

Du Yi hated herself at the moment why she didn't have one more leg before, and she said this openly in this palace, wasn't she afraid that she wouldn't be able to get out of this palace? It's stupid, how the hell is this brain.

On the first day she crossed over, she thought she was such a powerful person. Now that I think about it, no one is behind her back, and this idiot will be stupid to death by herself sooner or later.

"Sister, you see that there are so many people in my carriage, and I really can't sit so many people. Or do you do it on the wheel? You also know that you have to get out of the car early for a while, which is very troublesome. And the dance you just praised, dancing so beautifully, don't you want to sit on the wheel and let everyone see you? ”

As soon as Du Zilin heard this, her face darkened immediately. But now there are many people who pick up the car here, and she is not easy to have seizures. Then he said aggrievedly: "Sister, on such a cold day, how can you let me sit on the wheel?" Sister is the blame sister is coming, didn't I tell you in advance? Sister, I'm sorry, my sister didn't mean it, and please don't blame my sister. ”

As soon as she said this, the eyes of everyone looking at Doe became very interesting. Originally, Du Yi was pregnant before marriage, and in those ladies circle, her reputation was extremely bad, and everyone disdained to be with her. Now that they heard this again, some people couldn't stand it anymore, and some said unevenly: "I said Miss Zilin, if your sister is unwilling, then you can take my carriage, and I will send you!" ”

"I've never seen someone so ruthless as a sister, with such a sister, it's better not to have it!"

"That's it, you still call her sister!"

……

Hearing the voices of everyone's discussions, Du Yi's cold eyes looked around, and then said coldly: "How am I, what do I have to do with you?" If someone takes up your house and robs your yard and wants to kill you and drive you out. You'd better be able to say things like this. Not everyone can afford Our Lady, and I, Doi, consider myself worthy of my conscience in everything I do. Don't stand and talk without backache, chirp a few crooked words, shed two tears, you all think you are a victim. Keep your eyes peeled and think if you can get to where I am. Baimei, let's go! Since there are so many people sending her, I don't have to fake kindness! ”

Du Yi had already torn her face with Du Zilin, and many people in the capital knew her situation in Du Mansion. She said it herself now, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Thinking of those ladies and the faces that they think they are kind, it makes people want to vomit.

Du Zilin didn't expect Du Yi to say such a thing, and she was a little dumbfounded at the moment, although she didn't know what the Holy Mother was, but it was certain that it was definitely not a good word.

After turning to look at everyone's inquiring eyes, tears burst and dripped down: "How can my sister say such a thing? Obviously she was still young, and her uncle entrusted her to my father, how could she say that we robbed her of the mansion? Obviously, she said that she would be sad to live in Bao Yi Pavilion and wanted to move out of there, and now she said this kind of thing that I robbed her yard. Woowoo...... What am I going to do so she doesn't say that? I hid everything about her eloping with her subordinates, what else did she want? ”

The lady who originally spoke for Du Zilin felt that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and it was a little messy. They don't know exactly what it is. That's it, that's it. It's just piggybacking on a person, and when you get to the street, you put the person down.

Du Yi had anger on his face and said to Bai Mei: "Tomorrow, let Liu Suniang go to confess with a small stone, I will ruin their reputation." ”

She can't wait, Du Zilin, a slut, wants to step on her reputation to improve herself, right? That being the case, she didn't mind ruining them early.

"Yes, Miss! Miss, do you want to find someone to come over at night and knock on it? "Baimei means to intimidate.

"No need, let her get a good night's sleep tonight, and from tomorrow onwards, I want her to live a life that is worse than death. She doesn't have to wait for me to make a move, someone will naturally clean her up. If you don't make trouble, you will pry her for a few days, and then you will throw her down. It's just that it doesn't work, I have to send her and Zi Yifeng to the pile first. ”
