"The widow and sister-in-law are weak, the nephew is submissive, the lady is not taken seriously, the eighth sister is not cared for, what kind of life do they live in the East Garden, do you know?"

"What kind of bodhisattva is running to me now? Hmph, I'm not a father, I can't put sand in my eyes, don't let me hear today's words a second time, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless, Luo Yuan, send off! ”

After saying these words one after another, Shang Ji brushed his sleeves away.

No brotherhood and any face are given to Shang Qilang.

Luo Yuan is a person who came out of the Gu Sect, and naturally he is also devoted to the Gu family.

Shang Ji's order naturally had to be carried out, so he said to Shang Qilang with a face.

"Seventh Young Master, don't send it if you go slowly!"

He had been trained in the barracks, and his tone and tone of voice were as hard as bones.

Hearing this, Shang Qilang had nothing to say.

With a disappointed face, he got up and left.

Before leaving, he glanced at Luo Yuan, who was full of seriousness, and stopped talking.

Because of his indifference, Shang Qilang couldn't say anything more.

In the end, when Steward He sent him away, he explained to Steward He in a little anxious.

"Steward He, you know me, I didn't mean that, the sixth brother misunderstood me."

The annoyance in his eyes was evident.

It can be seen that he is very concerned about accidentally angering Shang Ji.

I'm afraid that it will add a little trouble to the crumbling relationship.

Steward He is an old man who has been working in the back house for many years, so his tone is not as rigid as Luo Yuan's.

With a peaceful smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Shang Qilang with a lot of calmness in his eyes.

Seeing the annoyance on his face, he opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Seventh Young Master, don't worry, the general was made such a fuss when he returned to the mansion, so he naturally wants to get angry and angry, and it will be good if he gets through these days."

"Do you think Sixth Brother will ignore me in the future?"

"Seventh Young Master is too worried, isn't he? I always have to say hello when we meet. ”

Steward He said this, which means that he didn't say it.

It's a meeting between general friends, and it will also say hello.

But they're a family.

It's just a greeting, it's not appropriate.

Thinking of this, Shang Qilang wanted to say something.

turned out to be politely rejected by Steward He.

"The old slave still has to go to the eldest lady's courtyard to deal with things, so he won't talk to the seventh young master, on the way back, be careful about the road under your feet."

Hearing this, Shang Qilang knew that he was useless.

He could only sigh and turn away.

After he walked away, Steward He said to the two little servants guarding the gate of the East Garden.

"These days, it's an eventful time, and the portal is all for me to see, understand?"

"Yes, the little one knows."

After explaining everything, he walked towards the Fuqiu Courtyard where the eldest lady was.

He really wasn't lying.

Tomorrow is the return of the general and the young lady, which is the top priority of their Dongyuan.

In the autumn courtyard.

The eldest lady Liu had already wiped away her tears, eased her emotions, and was carefully looking at the return gift list sent by Cherry.

Everything in it is in accordance with the rules and etiquette.

If it had been sent three years ago, it would have been decent and reasonable.

But that was three years ago.

Now that his brother-in-law Shang Ji is a second-class official, these gifts seem to be a bit light.

So the eldest lady looked at the list and said to Steward He.

"Add three percent to the gift list, and then add the Taihu Mountain Stone Screen Seat that the mother left to the sixth brother and his wife, in the past, the Du family was just a businessman's family, and he couldn't deserve this thing, but now that the sixth brother has won the Jin Seal, presumably the six brothers and sisters are also fast, if there is a lady in the family, this screen seat is placed in the main house, and it is very suitable."

The stone screen seat of Taihu Mountain is the marriage of Mrs. Gu.

Although it is not a city in terms of value, it is also a rare thing.

And what was meant to be reserved for their husband and wife is fitting to be added to this list today.

Hearing this, Steward He immediately nodded.

Obviously, he also agreed to the arrangement of the eldest lady.

After the gift list was rewritten, Steward He hurried to Xitang Courtyard.

Coincidentally, Du Jingyi took a nap.

After taking the gift sheet, he looked at it with a slight surprise on his face.

Her mother's family is just an ordinary businessman, one is not an imperial businessman, and the other is not an official businessman who has anything to do with the powerful.

Therefore, this gift list looks too heavy.

She thought for a moment and spoke.

"Sister-in-law is in love, will this list be thicker?"

Steward He smiled.

"Don't worry, young lady, this is all according to the rules, now that the identity of the general is here, you will naturally follow the rising tide, not only this door ceremony, but also to relatives and banquet guests in the future."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi nodded.

"In that case, then what a troublesome housekeeper."

Du Jingyi is polite, and Steward He naturally won't take Qiao.

After saying this, he bowed respectfully and withdrew.

In the house, only three masters and servants remained.

Lizhu is picking out clothes and hairpins to return to tomorrow, while Cherry is sorting out the books.

The thick pile of account books are all Du Jingyi's dowry.

A total of 194 shops and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land were rented by tenants, all of which were recorded.

With the increase in income every year, it will also be thicker.

Therefore, it is most important to be careful in sorting out this matter.

Only cherries are the most suitable.

While tidying up, Cherry said happily.

"If the old man sees that the young lady's achievements in the past three years are so good, he will be grateful."

Most of the things on the ledger, she didn't quite understand.

But she knew a thing.

The thicker the ledger, the richer her the young lady's private treasury.

When I came, it was packed in a camphor wood box, less than half of it.

Now it adds up to more than six.

Over time, it is estimated that this box will not be enough.

She'll have to prepare in advance and find a bigger one.

Du Jingyi heard the maid cherry mention her father, and suddenly thought about it.

Although news is often sent in to say that everything is fine with the second elder, she is always worried.

"If only I could stay at my mother's house for a few more days, and I can be filial to my parents for two days."

There was a wistful look in her words.

But I also know that this is impossible.

When a foreign-married girl returns to her parents' house to live, it is generally necessary for a major event to happen.

And as soon as her husband returned, she went to live at her mother's house.

It's no wonder that people outside don't think much about it.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, if you have this little spare time, why don't you think about this year's father's birthday gift."

October 18.

It's not been a few days.

Du Jingyi mentioned this, and Cherry and Lizhu also put down their hands and came over.

"The slave thinks that the young lady should give eighteen pure gold piglets, the master must like it."

It was Lizhu who made this suggestion, and the cherry next to her couldn't help but smile.

"Lizhu, how many years have you used this idea, and you still haven't given up?"

"The slave is telling the truth! It's just that the young lady doesn't do it, otherwise, the old man's heart will definitely bloom. ”
