MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 154 Make another plan

Chapter 154 Another plan

 Sister-in-law Liu was filled with infinite pride when she talked about this.

 After all, Xue Niang is her sister-in-law in name, but she is actually the one who brought her up. She is no different from her daughter.

 So it’s reasonable to worry about her.

Du Jingyi didn’t talk much and liked to listen quietly.

Seeing her like this, sister-in-law Liu suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but ask.

“I heard from Mother Dou that your hand has reached back to the Duke’s Mansion again?”

Her question this time was not a test, but a genuine curiosity.

Now she finally understands that the matter in her palm is for those who are capable.

Just looking at the comfortable days they moved to the General's Mansion, you can see how capable Du Jingyi is.

 So, just live a good life with peace of mind.

I mentioned this today out of pure curiosity.

Du Jingyi also understood the situation of his sister-in-law after what happened last time.

 So when she mentioned it, she didn't hide it. She smiled and gathered her clothes and said.

"Well, Mrs. Wei is going to overhaul the Duke's Mansion, which is a good thing. And I heard that Prince Fu's Mansion also specially sent 200,000 taels of silver to the door. I thought that this repair would definitely cost a lot of work and materials, so I asked the masonry team to I deliberately took 10% less profit, so I won Mrs. Wei."

Mrs. Xing felt strange and asked a question in reply.

"Haven't you all moved out? Why do you still care about the Duke's Mansion? She is repairing it now for the benefit of her children and grandchildren, and you are still going to get involved?"

 “That’s not certain, aunt.”

Du Jingyi took a candied fruit at hand, put it in his mouth and said.

"The fire in Dongyuan was severe, and Beiyuan was evacuated again. I have made careful calculations. If that area is to be repaired as before, it will take at least two or three years. No one can say what will happen in two or three years."

“I just like to see Mrs. Wei twisting her hair and thinking about the abacus, but in the end she looks like a chicken flying over the egg.”

Mrs. Xing couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but then she looked deeply at Du Jingyi, but she didn't say much.

 With Shang Ji's current status, it is natural that he should go back and succeed the government.

 But she always felt that the couple were not enthusiastic about it, as if they were paving the way for others.

Suddenly I remembered Shang Zhiping who was practicing outside with his son, and I suddenly understood.

 When she looked at Du Jingyi again, she felt a little admired.

 Shang Ji planned for his nephew, that's what he should do.

But once the position of the young prince in the Duke's palace is handed over to Shang Zhiping, it will not happen in a generation.

 That means that either Shang Ji's meritorious service can be higher and reach the point where he can be hereditary.

 Otherwise, their children would just be children of wealthy families and would not have any protection.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing had to admit that Du Jingyi's broad mind may not even be comparable to hers.

On the contrary, the person involved, Du Jingyi, was still greedy for the candied fruit and seemed not to take the matter to heart.

In her eyes, it was the best thing to use her money and efforts to get the results she wanted.

Mrs. Wei has been plotting against others all her life. If God is wise, it’s time for her to experience the feeling of being plotted against others a few more times.

So, smiled innocently.

But Cherry, who was familiar with her, could see that there was a bit of pride and calculation hidden in this smile.

Hearing the conversation between the two of them, Mrs. Liu vaguely guessed it, but it was not something she could ask.

 So, I told myself not to think too much, so as not to fall into the same predicament again.

A few people were chatting and laughing, and then moved the topic to something else.

In this way, Mrs. Wei worked hard to "make wedding clothes" for others, and the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month arrived as scheduled.

Although everyone moved into the General's Mansion in advance, they still performed many of the housewarming etiquettes decently today.

 The happiest people are the servants in the general's mansion.

Although Steward He and Aunt Dou were strict, they could not resist Du Jingyi's generous spending. Today each person received sixty-six taels of silver, but they may not have received wages after working for ten years.

 There are also three newly made coats, which are decent and well-fitting.

At this point, everyone was smiling like a bursting watermelon, and they couldn’t put it down anymore.

Such a generous master's home, the search of Ancheng, can not be found.

And the rules are clearly established up and down. As long as they don't have any evil intentions and do their jobs well in the house, they will not be treated badly.

So the two of them were like chicken blood, rushing to do any job.

 Not only positive, but also serious and careful.

Du Jingyi was also happy to see it.

  She is not stingy with the shopkeeper, so that people can see the future, have money to make, and have ideas to think about, so that they will not give up their long-term livelihood for the benefit of three melons and two dates.

This method can also be used in the general's mansion.

 I gave them sweet dates as soon as they were served. Once they were used to eating this, no matter how many temptations there were outside, they still had to weigh whether it was cost-effective or not.

The firecrackers this time were much louder and crackling just like the Chinese New Year.

Steward He and Aunt Dou were still outside directing the servants at home. Those who spread sugar sprinkled sugar, those who scattered copper coins scattered copper coins, and those who gave porridge gave porridge.

Hence, the people who join in the fun outside are also happy to say a lot of auspicious words.

Shang Ji happened to encounter this scene when he brought his people back.

The corners of his mouth twitched into a smile, and he knew it must be his wife's idea.

On the other hand, Luo Yuan, who was also riding a horse next to him, grinned widely and said.

"The general must get more rewards. Otherwise, if the young lady continues to squander like this, I'm afraid our general's mansion will be pawned to live in a few years."

He was naturally joking, but Shang Ji looked at him sideways after hearing this.

"I think you have been out for a long time and your heart has become wild. How about you go back to the Huben Army camp and stay for half a month?"

By daring to tease his wife, Luo Yuan was obviously looking for trouble for himself.

Feeling that his general was protecting his wife very well, he said in a flattering way.

“Hey, General, there are a lot of people. I have only had a good life for a few days. I...”

Before Luo Yuan could finish speaking, Shang Ji got off his horse and headed straight towards the gate of the general's mansion.

Luo Yuan secretly rejoiced that he had escaped another disaster. He also dismounted and hurried forward.

Steward He and Aunt Dou were even more happy when they saw the two coming back.

“General, are you back?”

 Their voices were not loud, so they did not attract many people's attention.

 But many people present still saw Shang Ji.

How could such a majestic general forget, so both of them said it sincerely.

 “Thank you, General, for your reward.”

Facing the enthusiasm of the people, Shang Ji raised his hand slightly and said.

“Like all of you, I enjoy the kindness of the Heavenly Family, so if you want to thank you, you should not thank me, but your Majesty.”

 One sentence, very well resolved outsiders' suspicion of the General's Mansion.

 Then he entered the mansion.

It took three days to finally fix the article.

About one-sixth of the content was overturned and rewritten, so if you sisters have time, you can review it. I personally feel that the rhythm is more comfortable than before~~

Hee hee, it’s a bit stinky~

Starting from tomorrow, I will resume the normal time update. It is still early in the morning, so sisters can continue to follow~

Thank you all for your tolerance and waiting. I will continue to write good stories and characters and give them a happy ending!
