Cherry knew that today was the first time that his wife and the general went to meet everyone in the Duke's mansion.
Therefore, it is just like serving tea on the second day after a wedding and requires more attention.
After thinking about Shang Ji's outfit just now.
Then she brought a set of willow-dyed horse-faced long skirt, paired with a brocade-patterned double-breasted jacket.
The whole person looks gentle and elegant.
Du Jingyi looked at it, then nodded in agreement.
After putting on the upper body, she really looks good.
Especially this dress matches the skin tone very well.
Du Jingyi was always white, tender and soft, and even more so now.
"Young madam, I will give you a bun with a morning cloud. How about you pick some jade-colored hairpins?"
It was Li Zhu who spoke.
She is very skillful with her hands, so she can do many fashionable hairstyles.
Du Jingyi is a beauty.
So after dressing up with such care, I feel even better than before.
"Go and call the general."
"yes."
Before going out.
Du Jingyi thought for a while, then turned back to the jewelry box.
I opened it and picked out four or five gold bracelets of good quality.
Although it is a hollow and silk-engraved craft.
But it's also very substantial and feels heavy in your hand.
Seeing this, Li Zhu was very surprised and immediately asked.
"Young madam, what are you doing with so many gold bracelets?"
"Have you forgotten those three-bedroom and five-bedroom people who love to play in the autumn breeze?"
Li Zhu suddenly realized.
After all, their lives have become more comfortable.
So everyone has forgotten that this Duke's mansion is really a big family.
There are loyal and courageous people who serve the country, but naturally there are also parasites who are not stingy.
The emperor of the previous dynasty was violent and cruel, which made the people miserable.
So a few decades ago, there were uprisings everywhere.
Today's Holy Emperor is only the second emperor of the Daxing Dynasty.
It only took a few decades for the previous government to take over this vast country.
Therefore, among the powerful lords in Sui'an City, there are many big bosses with mud-legged backgrounds.
The old man who passed away in the Shang Kingdom was one of them.
He and the founding emperor were descendants of the same village.
After Emperor Kaizong raised the banner, those who pulled the cloth started an uprising.
Originally I was thinking of getting a few mouthfuls of food for myself, but unexpectedly I turned on the right stove!
Not only did he become a minister who made great contributions to the new emperor's overthrow of the old regime.
He also gave the title of Duke and his residence.
The elder brother has become a famous person, and naturally his younger brothers and sisters will also benefit from it.
The merchant is originally a multi-female family with three sons and two daughters.
Except Shang Erniang married and stayed in Changzhou.
The other brothers and sisters took their families and went to their elder brother Shang Guogong.
Shang Siniang is better than her brother.
Many years ago, under the initiative of my brother, I married a descendant of the Xu family from the same village.
Now I brought my husband and children to Sui'an City, although I wanted to get some protection.
But in the final analysis, I still want to be self-reliant.
So with the help of Shang Guogong, he and his husband bought a hundred acres of farmland on the outskirts of the city.
Then, the couple is also hard-working, and most of the children are steady and honest.
So life has been prosperous these past few years.
On the other hand, the younger brother of the second wife, who was incompetent in what he did, became a burden that Duke Shang could not get rid of.
Naturally, I could only let him take root in this house and settle down.
This stay lasted for several decades.
Even though Shang Guogong has been dead for many years.
Before his death, he also distributed some property to them.
But the people in the third and fifth houses still pretended not to know anything.
Just rely on the big house.
He was unwilling to leave the Duke's Mansion.
Therefore, the two-bedroom people live in the two courtyards of Beiyuan.
Now I almost have great-grandchildren.
I'm still so squeezed that I don't want to move out and live alone.
After all, the brothers from the third and fifth bedrooms are still alive.
It's a little bit if you can rub it a little bit.
What if Shang San and Shang Wu were both gone?
Then if their descendants want to stay in the Duke's Mansion, it will be unfair and unjust.
As Du Jingyi stood up, he thought of a family dinner last year.
The person with three or five bedrooms "borrowed" a lot of good jewelry from her.
I still have no intention of returning it.
If this is the case, Du Jingyi still cannot learn to be smart.
That's the problem with her stupidity.
Youdao is that jade is priceless and gold is priceless.
This kind of gold bracelet is perfect for sending them away.
"In that case, please find some brocade boxes to put them in."
"Um."
The brocade box is huge and has some weight of its own.
It's heavy in my hand.
It would be most suitable to use it to deceive people in the third and fifth bedrooms.
After getting everything ready.
Du Jingyicai was waiting in front of the Xitang Courtyard with Yingying and Lizhu.
After a while, Shang Ji, followed by Luo Yuan, also came out of the study.
In front of the gate of Xitang Courtyard there are two podocarpus trees that Du Jingyi bought at a high price.
Also known as Money Pine.
It was her "treasure weapon" for attracting wealth, so she naturally took good care of it.
Shang Ji didn't know much about this thing.
I just think this tree looks a little interesting.
Soon I met Du Jingyi.
The way she carefully dressed up today caught Shang Ji's eyes.
Of course, it was more amazing than when we first met yesterday and this morning.
It's just that we march all year round.
He was used to hiding his thoughts, so he didn't reveal anything.
"I have met the general."
"Well, let's go."
"yes."
The couple walked side by side along the stone path towards Yunjin Courtyard.
The scenery that Du Jingyi felt so familiar in the past seemed a little different today.
The palace of this country is large, but not elegant enough.
There are no pavilions and pavilions like the flowing water of the Yangtze River, nor are there the cornices and balustrades of carved beams and painted buildings.
The rough background of the military commander is evident.
It cannot be compared with the Xitang Courtyard that Du Jingyi carefully built.
Shang Ji and Du Jingyi walked in the Duke's Mansion for the first time.
Therefore, there were more than one maid and servants who stopped to take a peek.
Feeling the probing eyes behind him, Shang Ji frowned slightly.
On the contrary, it was Du Jingyi who straightened his back.
Nothing to look down upon at all!
It is really strange to say that this Duke's Mansion is strange.
Although it is such a big house and served by hundreds of servants, this rule is not very good.
What kind of rules can a domestic servant have if he wanders around in his master's house?
It is said that the Duke of Guo's first wife.
When Shang Ji's biological mother, Mrs. Gu, was still alive, she had very strict rules.
On the contrary, after Mrs. Wei, the step-brother who was promoted from concubine, came to power, things became a lot looser.
Let’s take a look at the royal style of Butler He and Aunt Dou of Xitang Courtyard.
You can find the difference in the entire Guogong Mansion.
Du Jingyi was deeply touched by this.
After passing through a garden, the two came to the center of the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.
The three characters "Yun Jin Yuan" are written with vigorous and powerful strokes.
Shang Ji raised his head and looked at the plaque, his eyes complex with a hint of disgust.
It seems he doesn't want to step in here.
Du Jingyi didn't quite understand what he meant, so he stood there silently.
After a while, his face returned to its previous indifference, and then he spoke neatly.
