Chapter 22: Du's Mansion

Du Jingyi's hand is slender and white and tender, and it looks particularly soft and moving in Shang Ji's wide and thick palm.

When he accidentally touched the thick cocoon in his hand, Du Jingyi's face turned slightly red.

Since he was born, it has been 18 years since he was born, and he has never felt like this.

I can't say what it is, but all in all, I think it's weird.

Shang Ji looked calm, and his eyes were more calm.

After getting off the bus stop, Du Jingyi didn't have time to react to the next step.

I saw my father and mother standing at the door of the Du family's house, who I hadn't seen for a long time.

It suddenly made Du Jingyi's nose sour.

withdrew the hand that had just been placed in Shang Ji's palm, and immediately lifted his skirt and ran over, making a gesture of kneeling in front of the second elder of the Du family.

His eyes suddenly became rosy, and even his voice was a little crying.

"My daughter is not filial, and she hasn't returned home for a long time, so please forgive my father and mother."

As soon as the Du family and his wife saw their daughter, what were the rules, and all the rules and manners were left behind.

In a hurry, he stepped forward to help her up.

The second elder's eyes were also a little moist, but because he was still at the door of the house, it was not good to cry.

After gasping a few breaths, I suppressed the joy and lovesickness of reuniting after a long absence.

Especially Master Du, he loves his daughter like his life.

The eldest daughter married far away and did not return, although the younger daughter was married closely, but because of the many rules in the Guogong Mansion, they rarely met.

In this way, in the huge Du mansion, there are two people, he and his wife.

It's a bit empty.

When he saw Du Jingyi at this moment, he opened his mouth and called out.

"Tangtang, it's good to come back, it's good to come back."

"Daddy......"

Begonia, isn't it the begonia of begonia flowers?

It's no wonder that she likes begonias so much, it turns out that there is such a source.

Shang Ji, who was standing on the side, thought so.

The father and daughter were busy expressing their longing, but Mrs. Du's sharp eyes saw Shang Ji coming from the same company.

After wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, he smiled appropriately.

said to Shang Ji, who was standing like a pine.

"Let the little grandfather see it, come on, please come to the house."

The Du family is a businessman, and they can't be compared with the little grandfather of the Guogong Mansion who is in power.

If the couple saw their daughter and son-in-law's family on a formal occasion, they had to bow and bow.

But today is the number of returning gifts three years ago, so you can treat them with family courtesy.

When Shang Ji saw Mrs. Du's invitation, he didn't take Qiao.

He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, father-in-law, mother-in-law, please."

The family wiped their tears and grinned, and finally entered the Du house.

After stepping on this place and looking around, Shang Ji realized why the back garden of Xitang Courtyard was so exquisitely maintained.

As far as the eye can see, this Du Mansion is not like an ordinary merchant portal.

On the contrary, there are many garden furnishings with the charm of the south of the Yangtze River.

The pavilions and pavilions are uneven, and the winding corridors change the scenery.

In front of the main hall of the main courtyard, there is a bright pond in the center, and a lot of imposing rockery yellowstones are built in it.

The water in the pond flows in a meandering way, showing vitality.

Looking around, there are both ancient trees towering to the sky and aromas floating.

The Mingse Courtyard where the Du family and his wife live is in the shadow of this landscape.

Walk all the way through the halls and up to the cloister.

When a few people walked to the main house of the Mingse Courtyard, the upper and lower servants stood in the courtyard in an orderly manner, waiting to salute.

When they saw the host and guests enter the door, they all greeted each other.

"The little one (slave maid) has seen the second girl and the second aunt."

Since you have entered the Du family, you will naturally come according to the rules of the Du family.

Shang Ji didn't care much about these names, so when he heard the second aunt called by the Du family, the corners of his mouth were smiling.

Mrs. Du's eyes were like torches, and she could see this detail at a glance.

My heart has also settled down a lot.

When they first married their daughters, they were both helpless and ruined.

I thought that maybe it was a situation where the peaks and loops turned.

Who knows, there are unforeseen circumstances, and on the night of marriage, this uncle went to help Cezhou, and it took three years to leave.

The good girl has inexplicably guarded the empty boudoir for three years.

It's also distressing to change which family it is.

It's not that they haven't thought that they will go to the Mansion to solve this family matter.

But this one has no origin, and the other is not at fault, and the opening is always three points shorter.

If you don't have to let outsiders still hold this handle and trample on their daughter's reputation at will, then they will lose more than they gain.

That's why it's been delayed until now.

Fortunately, my uncle came back safely, and she watched in the dark, and she was still concerned about her daughter.

The big stone in Mrs. Du's heart can be regarded as falling to the ground.

He said with a smile that was more enthusiastic than before.

"A few months ago, I heard that my uncle won the battle, and I was preparing to return to the court, and I was thinking that when we would have time to go to the door to congratulate him, I didn't think about it, but you handed over the news and said that you wanted to go back to the door, no, the family has a good sprinkle and sweep, and even today's dishes are made by the chef who asked the master to find from Jinling City, and my uncle will try it later, see if you like it or not?"

If you want to talk about this Mrs. Du, she grew up with her father walking the streets and alleys doing shouting business.

Later, he married Master Du, and he didn't live a life in the back house of his husband and children.

Instead, he accompanied his husband to win one business after another in the change of dynasties.

This made the Du family's business more and more prosperous.

Therefore, the Du family can say that there are 10,000 respects for their own wife.

Of course, it also includes Master Du himself.

Otherwise, he would not have the reputation of having no children and no queens, neither taking concubines nor succeeding.

On the contrary, he grew up with the love of his two daughters.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi didn't speak, but Shang Ji answered first.

"Mother-in-law is polite, my maternal grandfather's family is also from Jinling City, so I also love to eat the dishes in Jinling City."

When he said a word, the Du family and his wife took a breath.

"That's good, that's good."

Master Du smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his round body was very rich.

In particular, there is a pair of large pendant earrings like Buddha, and at first glance it is a blessed person!

The Gu family is different from the Shang family.

They are a famous and promising family in Jinling City, and the heirs of the clan are prosperous, and all of them are capable of literature and martial arts.

Back then, Emperor Kaizong of Daxing was able to successfully overthrow the old dynasty, although there were brothers who sacrificed their lives to escort them when they rebelled together.

But it is also indispensable to support famous families such as the Gu family in Jinling City.

Even the in-laws relationship between the Shang and Gu families was decided after the old lady Shang rescued the old marshal Gu.

Otherwise, with the background and status of the businessman, it is simply a fantasy for Shang Yukuan to climb to the family of Mrs. Gu.
