Chapter 98: Relief
"The sixth brother is right, what you want to do, you can really do."
There is both a sense of defeat and a faint admiration in the words.
In the past, my sister-in-law still looked down on her own ability to run the house, but now in the face of Du Jingyi's scheme, she looks a lot younger.
Du Jingyi didn't say much.
She looks young, but participating in the Du family's business started at a young age.
At the end of the day, there's not much difference between this mall and the back house.
It's nothing more than that you know what chips you have, and then guess what the other party wants.
It's just that Du Jingyi still slightly agrees with what her sister-in-law said.
This time, in the final analysis, it was Mrs. Wei who underestimated her enemy, so that the strategy could be realized quickly and accurately.
But she hadn't confronted Mrs. Wei head-on, so she still couldn't take it too lightly.
The autumn breeze was cool, and a light rain began to fall outside.
Gradually, the rain became heavier, and the powder scattered in the Yunjin Courtyard completely disappeared in this turmoil with the rain.
It's as if it never happened.
When the teapot bottomed out, Du Jingyi shouted "cherry" outside.
She knew very well what her young lady was going to do, so when she entered the door, she was not serving tea, but a furnace of moonlight incense.
It is perfect for calming the mind and relieving tension.
It's about that this thing really has an effect, or maybe the sister-in-law has figured it out herself.
Therefore, after a little half an hour, she laughed stupidly.
"I used to underestimate you, and the sixth brother is right, I really shouldn't have been detaining you, I always feel that I have to be protected. You've done a good job, and you've done a bit of calculations, but in the end, they're to blame. ”
"In the future, Dongyuan and the General's Mansion will be handed over to you, I am very relieved."
At this moment, her smile is no longer as twisted as in the past, but more of a relief.
It is to let go of one's own ability that is not as good as others, and to free oneself from one's past obsessions.
Du Jingyi could see it clearly.
So he replied sincerely.
"Thank you sister-in-law for your trust, I will live up to expectations."
"Well, there's something else I want to ask you for."
"Is it Ping'er?"
The sister-in-law nodded solemnly.
"This child was talented and intelligent when he was a child, and then his father died and suffered some blows, and I have been taking him in the back house to develop like this, but he is only thirteen, he shouldn't live like this all his life, if you have a way, help him."
She said this with earnestness, even a little pleading.
Du Jingyi understood how true her sister-in-law's heart was for her son, so she naturally wouldn't take Qiao in this matter.
So he nodded and replied.
"Sister-in-law, rest assured, whatever our couple can do for Ping'er, we will never refuse."
Hearing this, the sister-in-law's eyes turned a little red.
Family, they have always been family.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, the sister-in-law also got up and prepared to leave.
Du Jingyi said with a smile.
"Wait for another half a month, the general's mansion should be repaired, and my illness should be cured, when the time comes, take my sister-in-law, Ping'er and Xue Niang, how about we go to see the new house together?"
"Okay, it's up to you."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and their relationship was further than before.
The words fell, and he was just about to go out.
I saw Cai's mother walk in with a serious expression, and saluted the two of them.
"The old slave has seen the young lady and the young lady."
"What's wrong?"
"Just now, the mother-in-law of Yunjin Courtyard sent a message, saying that the birthday banquet of the grandfather of the country will be carried out eight days later, so that the young lady can quickly take care of her body, and then she will attend with Mrs. Wei to preside over the overall situation."
Du Jingyi smiled lightly and said.
"I admire this Mrs. Wei a little, can you still do it if it's like this?"
"She's not easy to deal with, and she didn't suffer her secret losses when her mother-in-law was still alive."
Sister-in-law Liu has always respected Mrs. Gu, so she doesn't like Mrs. Wei 10,000.
I don't like the way she was once powerful, nor the "brothers and sisters" she came out of.
Du Jingyi thought about it for a while, and then said comfortingly.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, let's attend together at that time, the general said it last time, let me recognize the ladies and ladies in Sui'an City, so that I don't know any one in the future, and make people laugh at the General's Mansion."
"Don't worry, I can help you with this, I used to follow my mother-in-law, and I made friends with those ladies and young ladies."
She has been in this mansion for a few years.
Although it was short, there were only a dozen wealthy families, and there were just a group of people back and forth.
Even if you are rich, arrogant, or calm, you will not change your appearance left and right.
Therefore, the sister-in-law Liu can really help at this point.
"Then I'll thank my sister-in-law in advance."
"Well, I'll sort out a list and send it to you when I go back, you get familiar with it first, and it's much easier to remember when you meet your face."
"Okay."
So far, the sister-in-law Liu didn't stay much.
After she left, Cherry and Lizhu came in to serve.
And Du Jingyi only instructed after using a bowl of bird's nest soup.
"Tell Mr. Liu, keep an eye on Shang Liuniang, these people in the three rooms and five rooms together are not as good as her, don't let her take us into the ditch."
"Yes, young lady."
Lizhu now goes out for two hours every day and learns kung fu from Liu Xun in a secluded courtyard.
Right now, I don't want to alarm the people of Dongyuan.
When they go to the General's Mansion in the future, they will be able to practice in the General's Mansion openly, which saves a lot of trouble.
Because Du Jingyi was "sick", Shang Ji would ride his horse back in the past few days.
It often arrives after dark, and leaves before dawn.
Tossing back and forth on the road like this, Du Jingyi only felt tired and panicked when he listened.
So, after seeing Shang Ji enter the door again that night, she rushed forward and personally helped him change his clothes and wash up.
Although Shang Ji was a little uncomfortable, it was a service to the maid.
Now that it is his wife who is doing it, he quickly adapts to it.
And peace of mind.
When Du Jingyi touched his hand, he felt the roughness and coldness of the touch.
Now in October, although it is not so cold that people are reluctant to move, it is indeed not warm.
So she opened her mouth and said something.
"The general doesn't need to toss like this, just come back once three or four days ago."
"Feel sorry for me?"
Shang Ji didn't twist, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
There was also some joy and imperceptible pride in his expression.
"Not really, the distressed horses are always running back and forth, tired and panicked."
Du Jingyi's mouth was also hard, and he replied with such a sentence without falling into his trap.
"Then you can ask people to prepare more good grass for it, and it will not get tired when it is full of food and drink."
When he said this, his fingers swept over Du Jingyi's skin intentionally or unintentionally.
