Chapter 26: The Cause
When the Du family returned to Mingse Courtyard, their faces did not improve much.
Mrs. Du finally sent away those fake relatives, and naturally she was still angry with Master Du.
As soon as he entered the door, he said viciously.
"Hmph, you know that push me forward to be a fool pioneer, you hide behind your back and use a trick!"
Master Du can bend and stretch, especially in front of his own wife.
I hurriedly sent the tea cup up.
"Madame dissipated her anger and drank tea to moisten her throat first. It's hard work today, but that's it, our little grandfather and son-in-law have to return to the dynasty victoriously, see if they dare to make a mistake if they are cowardly and afraid! ”
He would have been fooled, and Mrs. Du was relieved when she heard this.
On the contrary, Cui An, the maid on the side, couldn't help laughing.
Mrs. Du immediately raised her eyebrows coldly.
"What? Isn't what the old man said right? ”
"Madame is dissipated, the old man is wise and martial, Madame is virtuous and generous, our Du family can have today's momentum, it all depends on the two of you, the slave is laughing, is laughing at those people's bamboo baskets to draw water."
When Mrs. Du heard this, her anger became much calmer.
"That's it! I don't want to make progress every day, I just think about how to get ahead of the curve, just because I didn't give birth to a son for your Du family, how many stumbling blocks these old things have made me in private! ”
Then he snorted coldly and glanced at Master Du who was sitting next to him.
Master Du immediately swore to the sky.
"Madame, rest assured! Even if they sent the fairies, I would never look at them again. ”
Seeing her husband's sincerity, Mrs. Du was very useful.
Over the years, those uneasy relatives of the Du family, those who sent good concubines, and persuaded to leave several waves a year.
It's just that he saw that Master Du's iron bucket here was unbreakable, so he hit the idea on her two daughters.
first proposed that they recognize Du Jingxian in the fourth room as their heir and inherit the incense.
After being sternly rejected by Master Du, he moved out of the threat that unmarried women were not allowed to divide the family property.
Originally, when Du Jingyi was only thirteen or fourteen years old, there were several well-known people who wanted to come to the engagement, but they were stunned by these superb relatives.
Later, Master Du said that he wanted to recruit a son-in-law, and the family was even more troublesome.
What I know is that the Du family wants to come to the son-in-law, and those who don't know think that the Du family is the realm where the ghost lives for his life.
Whoever gets it is unlucky!
came and went, and naturally dragged on for a long time.
Seeing that Du Jingyi has been with her for several months, and she has not seen a good marriage fall on her, how can the couple not be in a hurry!
Obviously, they have been given enough over the years, but they still don't have enough people's hearts to swallow elephants.
Mrs. Du was annoyed, and Master Du was naturally not happy.
Who knew that the drowsiness ran into the pillow, and when he met the grandfather of the country, he was also worried about the little grandfather's family.
It just so happened that there were rumors of "hard life" they created for their daughter.
Sure enough, the grandfather and the duchess of the country came to the door in person to discuss family affairs.
And all this made the Du family and his wife feel afraid.
If you weren't so lucky to run into this family business, wouldn't you want your daughter Du Jingyi to die in the boudoir for the rest of her life, and she would be angry when she thought of this.
Then he asked.
"What about the second lady and uncle?"
"Mrs. Hui, in the Stream."
Jianliu Courtyard is the courtyard where Du Jingyi was before he got married.
She went back to the door and took her husband to the courtyard where she used to live.
Hearing this, Mrs. Du's anger was suppressed, and she commanded instead.
"Call someone to call them, it's time for lunch, and after eating, let's go back to the mansion quickly, so as not to stay here and meet that shameless person, adding to the joke."
"Yes, the slave and maid will be invited."
In the Mingse Courtyard, Master Du was still coaxing Mrs. Du in a good voice.
In the stream courtyard, which is not too far away, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi are separated from each other, each with their own ideas.
Du Jingyi returned to the courtyard and said that he was not feeling well and wanted to rest.
Shang Ji glanced sideways at the simple box and knew that she had something to deal with.
Speaking of which, it was only the third day that the two met.
He himself can't do it himself, so naturally he won't ask Du Jingyi so much.
So, I nodded and went to the left room to rest.
In the main house, after Du Jingyi closed the doors and windows, he immediately asked the maid cherry to open the box.
Sure enough, there were several thick volumes of books inside.
However, it was not marked with the word "Du", but recorded a lot of property about the wealthy businessman surnamed Yiyan in it.
Densely packed, stacked on top of each other.
Others only know that the Du family is a wealthy family, but in Sui'an City, which businessman who can stand on his feet is not rich?
Therefore, how much money the Du family has, outsiders are not very clear.
I only know that the pomp of the Du family's marriage is very large, and the Du couple is also very generous.
But only Du Jingyi knew that this box contained not only the family property that had been saved over the years, but also the Du family's future retreat.
Now there are two emperors in the Daxing Dynasty, and it is still calm to say.
But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.
Two dynasties can change in a few decades, and no one can say what will happen in the future.
Therefore, the secret hidden in this box is only known to Du Jingyi in this world, except for the Du family and his wife.
The events of many years ago are so vivid.
At that time, Du Jingyi was only four or five years old, and the abacus in his hand was already very clear.
When Master Du held her in his arms and read the account book, he also taught her little by little.
Therefore, Du Jingyi's literacy skills did not come from poems, books, and dictionaries, but were taught by Master Du with account books.
Who made her show a very talented business acumen since she was a child.
Therefore, Master Du is cultivated with heart.
Just when Master Du was still smiling from ear to ear because he had made another 1.2 million taels of profit this year.
Du Jingyi tilted his little head and asked curiously.
"Daddy, if someone knows that our family is a fat pig and a strong sheep, will someone use a knife to bleed?"
The words of the immature girl should not be true.
However, Mrs. Du next to her realized a truth from it that "the rich have to hide".
At that time, it coincided with the overlap of the two dynasties, and in the open and in the dark, there was naturally a lot of wealth.
The couple was obviously a little floating.
Fortunately, her daughter's fairy tale woke them up from their dreams.
In times of turmoil, the most important thing is to hide clumsiness.
Who knows if it will be beautiful today, and yellow flowers tomorrow.
So after Du Jingyi "reminded" this sentence, the Du couple began to repair the plank road and secretly crossed Chencang.
Exactly thirteen years.
The two of them fabricated the name of "Yan Zhiqing" out of thin air, and the signboard was played little by little in Jinling City.
Not only that, but eighty or ninety percent of the wealth in his hands fell on him without a trace.
