Chapter 6: Old Current Affairs
Cherry knew that today was the first time that his wife and the general had gone to see everyone in the palace.
Therefore, it is similar to the tea ceremony on the second day after the wedding, and it needs to be paid more attention.
After thinking about Shang Ji's costume just now.
He brought a set of willow-dyed horse-faced long skirts with brocade pattern plackets.
It seems that the whole person is warm and elegant.
Du Jingyi took a look, and then nodded in agreement.
After the upper body, it really looks good.
In particular, this garment is very flattering to the skin tone.
Du Jingyi was already white and delicate, and this is even more so at this moment.
"Young lady, the slave maid will comb your morning cloud bun, how about picking a few good jade-colored hairpins?"
It was Lizhu who spoke.
Her hands are skillful, so she will have many fashionable hairstyles.
Du Jingyi is a beautiful embryo.
So after this careful dressing, it is even more than before.
"Go and call the general."
"Yes."
Before leaving the door.
Du Jingyi thought about it and turned back to the jewelry box.
I opened it and picked out four or five gold bracelets that were in good condition.
Although it is a process of hollowing out and engraving silk.
But it also has a lot of weight, and it is heavy in your hands.
Seeing this, Lizhu was surprised, and immediately asked.
"Young lady, what are you doing with so many gold bracelets?"
"Have you forgotten those who love to play in the autumn breeze in the three bedrooms and five rooms?"
Lizhu suddenly realized.
In the end, their lives are comfortable.
So I forgot that this Guogong Mansion is a real big family.
There are loyal and courageous people who serve the country, and naturally there are parasites who are not stingy.
The emperor of the previous dynasty was violent and unreasonable, so that the people were miserable.
So a few decades ago, there were uprisings everywhere.
Today's Shengshang is only the second emperor of the Daxing Dynasty.
It has only been a few decades since the former dynasty took over these thousands of miles.
Therefore, among the powerful lords in Sui'an City, there are many old men with mud legs.
The old man who died in the Shang Mansion was one of them.
He and Emperor Kaizong were descendants of the same village.
With Emperor Kaizong raising the banner, the cloth was torn and there was an uprising.
Originally, I wanted to fight for a few mouthfuls of food for myself, but I didn't know that I burned the right stove!
not only became a minister of great merit for the new emperor to overthrow the old government.
He also gave him the title and the mansion of the prince.
The elder brother has become a big celebrity, and the younger brothers and sisters under this hand will naturally follow suit.
The merchant was originally a multi-woman family with three sons and two daughters.
Except for Shang Erniang, who married and stayed in Changzhou.
The other siblings all brought their families to join their brother Shang Guogong.
Shang Siniang is better than her brother.
Many years ago, under the control of his brother, he married the descendants of the Xu family in the same village.
Now I brought my husband and children to Sui'an City, although I wanted to get some shelter.
But at the end of the day, I still want to be self-reliant.
Therefore, with the help of Shang Guogong, he and his husband bought more than 100 acres of land on the outskirts of the city.
Then the husband and wife are also diligent, and most of the children are stable and honest.
So life has been prosperous over the years.
It's the two-room brother who can't do anything, and he has become a burden that Shang Guogong can't shake off.
Naturally, he could only take root and settle down in this mansion.
This stay is decades.
Even Shang Guogong has been dead for many years.
Before he died, he also gave them some property.
But the people in the third and fifth rooms still pretended not to know anything.
It is to cling to the big house.
Dead and alive are unwilling to leave the Guogong Mansion.
Therefore, the two-room snail lived in the two courtyards of the North Garden.
Now even great-grandchildren are about to be there.
I'm still squeezing and refusing to move out.
After all, the old brothers in the third and fifth rooms are still alive now.
It is a little bit to be able to rub a little.
If the third old lady of Shang and the fifth old lady of Shang are gone.
If their descendants want to stay in the Guogong Mansion again, it will be unjustifiable.
Du Jingyi got up and thought of a family banquet last year.
The three-bedroom and five-room people "borrowed" a lot of good jewelry from her.
To this day, there is no intention of returning it.
In this way, if Du Jingyi still learns, he will not be smart.
That's the problem of her stupidity.
There is a way that jade is priceless, and gold is priceless.
This kind of gold bracelet is the most suitable for them.
"In that case, let's find a few brocade boxes to put in them."
"Hmm."
The brocade box is huge, and it also has some weight of its own.
It's heavy in your hand.
It is most suitable to take the people with three and five rooms.
Once everything is ready.
Du Jingyi waited in front of the door of Xitang Courtyard with cherries and pearls.
After a while, Shang Ji, who was followed by Luo Yuan, also came out of the study.
In front of Xitang Courtyard, there are two podocarpus trees bought by Du Jingyi at a high price.
Also known as money pine.
It was a "treasure" she used to attract wealth, and she naturally took care of it very carefully.
Shang Ji didn't know much about it.
I just think this tree looks a little interesting.
It didn't take long to see Du Jingyi.
The appearance she wore with her heart today fell in Shang Ji's eyes.
Of course, it was a little more amazing than yesterday and when we first met this morning.
It's just a perennial march.
He was used to hiding his thoughts, so he didn't reveal anything.
"The concubine has seen the general."
"Well, let's go."
"Yes."
The couple walked side by side along the stone path to Yunjin Temple.
In the past, Du Jingyi felt that the scenery was very familiar, but today it seems to be a little different.
The mansion is big, but it's not elegant enough.
There are no pavilions and pavilions flowing in the south of the Yangtze River, nor are there cornices leaning on the railings of carved beams and painted buildings.
The roughness of the military general's family is visible.
It cannot be compared with the Xitang Courtyard carefully built by Du Jingyi.
Shang Ji and Du Jingyi walked in the Guogong Mansion, this is the first time.
Therefore, there is more than one maid who stops to peek.
Feeling the inquiring eyes behind him, Shang Ji frowned slightly.
On the contrary, it was Du Jingyi, whose back was straight.
It's not underestimated at all!
It's really strange to say that this country is a mansion.
Obviously, there is a huge house, and hundreds of slaves are waiting, but this rule is not very good.
What good rules can a servant have when he looks around in his master's house?
It is said that the original match of the grandfather of the country.
When Shang Ji's mother-in-law, Mrs. Gu, was still alive, the rules were very strict.
On the contrary, after Mrs. Wei, who was corrected from the concubine, took the throne, she was a lot looser.
Look at the style of Steward He and Mama Dou of Xitang Courtyard.
You can find the difference with the entire Guogong Mansion.
Du Jingyi was deeply touched by this.
After passing through a garden, the two came to the very center of the backyard of the Guogong Mansion.
The three words of Yunjin Courtyard are written vigorously and powerfully.
Shang Ji looked up at the plaque, his eyes were complicated and there was a hint of disgust.
Seems reluctant to set foot in here.
Du Jingyi didn't quite understand what he meant, so he stood there and didn't say anything.
After a while, I saw that his face returned to his previous indifference before he said neatly.
"Let's go inside."
"Okay."
