Hearing what the old housekeeper said, Qi Siyu frowned, half-squinted his eyes and said, "You tell him that since it is from his teahouse, then let him calm down the news." If it can't be calmed down, his teahouse will not be opened. ”

"Yes." The old butler went.

When Du Zheyan heard this, he was completely stunned. He really didn't know that the news was coming from his teahouse.

Moreover, he was attached to the Qi family and the Zeng family before, and he still had some energy. Now that the Zeng family doesn't pay attention to their family anymore, Qi Yuandao directly asked Qi Siyu to break off his friendship with him, his father Du Zaide was dismissed, and the family was very happy to split up, where did he still have the manpower and ability to calm down the rumors?

Rumors are not something that can be quelled if you want to calm down.

Du Zheyan directly told his father Du Zaide about it.

Du Zaide sighed: "Tomorrow, I'll go and ask Mr. Qi for guilt, and try to calm down this rumor." No matter what, our attitude must be revealed. He looked at his son, "Which academy are you going to go to?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Du Zheyan wilted.

Fuxue kicked him out, he originally planned to go to Nanlu Academy, but he never thought that Nanlu Academy would refuse to accept him in order to please Du Jinning, and he and his father would be half angry. He has always followed Qi Siyu to the best academy in the city, and now let him go to the small academy, he can't look down on it at all.

"You go to Hunan Province to study." Du Zaide said, "I won't come back until you are admitted to the show." ”

Du Zheyan lowered his head and thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

In the past, he followed Qi Siyu to offend people a lot. Now that he's down, those people will definitely laugh at him and target him. It's better to avoid it in other places.

"Then let's do it."

……

In late spring March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

Du Jinning sat in the bright study by the window, practicing his words intently.

"Knock knock", there was a knock on the courtyard door, and Jiangbei's voice sounded outside: "Young Master." ”

"Come in." Du Jinning replied in a loud voice, but he did not stop writing, and continued to practice his own words.

The courtyard door was hidden, and there was no need for Du Jinning to open the door, Jiangbei pushed the door in by himself, and when he saw Du Jinning practicing calligraphy in the academy, he didn't dare to make a sound, and stood aside and waited quietly.

After a cup of tea, Du Jinning finished writing the last word, put down the pen, carefully looked at his calligraphy, and found that there was some progress compared to before, so he nodded with satisfaction.

She turned her face and looked at Jiangbei: "What's the matter?" ”

"Young master, that's the case, Master Lin from Dongcheng just came to see our garden and said that I want you to design a garden for him personally, the price is easy to discuss."

"Is there any land? How big is the area? Du Jinning asked.

"About five or six acres."

As soon as he heard this, Du Jinning shook his head: "You know my rules." ”

After more than a year and almost two years, after the plants have grown and flourished, the overall design of the garden is displayed in front of everyone, which makes the people who love elegance in Fucheng amazed.

When it was first designed, Du Jinning had the idea of using it for business, so there was a door in the backyard and the front yard where they lived. The people who can enter the Du family to visit are basically built and sold with the Liang family, and they are all big business, the quality and level can still be guaranteed, and the number of people can be controlled, about five or six people come to visit a month, and the impact on the life of the Du family is not great.

And those who were led by the Liang family steward to visit the garden would ask for such a garden with bright eyes in nine out of ten years. As a result, the reputation of Du Jiayuanzi gradually spread.

Especially after Yuan Xiuzhu and the prefect Yang Yuntao also built a similar garden one after another, Du Jiayuanzi became more famous, and there were many people who came to ask for a garden.

Du Jinning wants to study, of course, it is impossible to focus all his energy on this. Although designing a garden doesn't take much time for Du Jinning, and the income is quite good, she is happy to do it, but she wants to give Du Fanghui the opportunity to exercise.

Du Fanghui is very smart, and has a special talent for planting and painting, after two or three years of study, she is now able to design gardens independently. However, in view of the attitude of being responsible for customers, Du Jinning, who is too large and too complicated, did not dare to hand over the garden to her, so she made a provision that she would design more than seven or eight acres, and Du Fanghui would design less than seven acres.

Because the design of the garden requires the designer to go to the site in person, the division of labor between the two cannot be hidden, and the Liang family steward will also truthfully explain to the owner of the garden. And the design draft handed over by Du Fanghui can also be satisfactory, so this division of labor is decided.

But there are also cards that don't make sense and have to let Du Jinning design them.

"Yes, Steward Liang told him. But he said that he could pay 20% more for the cost, and asked the young master to help him design this garden. "Gangbuk-do.

Five or six acres of garden, it doesn't take much effort for Du Jinning, although she is not short of money now, but she is also very tired from reading and writing all day long, just to relax, besides, she will not get along with money.

"You replied to Steward Liang, and said that I agreed." She said.

Often in this case, she and the Liang family will not divide the extra two percent of the money according to the proportion agreed in the contract, but will all belong to her.

"When is the young master going to see that piece of land?" Jiangbei asked.

Du Jinning thought for a while: "Tomorrow afternoon." It just so happens that there are no classes in the academy. ”

After class on the second day, Du Jinning planned to go home directly. Qi Muyuan said: "I'll go with you, there's nothing to do in the afternoon, I don't want to stay in the academy." ”

"Oh, let's go together."

When Liang Xiankuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Then I'll go with me." "This business is a partnership between him and Du Jinning, and Qi Muyuan has accompanied Du Jinning, so it's really unreasonable for him not to go.

Du Jinning hurriedly made a silent action: "Don't shout, Fang Shaohua and my eldest brother-in-law will be in trouble if they have to follow in a while." People thought we were going to fight. ”

Liang Xiankuan laughed: "Your brother-in-law doesn't have time to accompany you, he will go home to accompany his daughter when he has a little free time." ”

Du Fangfei gave birth to a big fat girl after last year, and she is now one year old. The little girl is beautiful, a toddler like a duckling, and likes to jump out word by word, which is not cute. Xie Shi and Xu Chengyuan don't dislike her at all for being a girl, and they are very rare for the little guy. Especially Xu Chengyuan, he has to go home every day to see the little guy, and naturally he also takes the opportunity to see his wife - Du Fangfei found out that she was pregnant again a few days ago.

When Du Jinning heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

"You don't have to go with me, don't you have something to do at home? You go get busy. Du Jinning said.
