Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 117

As the clustered flower branches gradually withered, the weather in Suiancheng became colder and colder.

After the hustle and bustle of the Duke's Mansion returned to calm, things in the Xitang Courtyard also became trivial.

For example, if you want to change your winter dresses and cloaks, you need to carefully change even the clothes of everyone.

Every year when winter comes, the servants will have two new coats as replacements.

They are all made by the women who embroidered with reed tangerine.

Although the style is simple, the material is not bad, and the cotton wool inside is stuffed with a full amount, so it is warm and not too bulky when worn in winter, and it is also convenient for working.

Now the rows of new clothes are neatly placed in the corridor, waiting for the servants to line up to pick them up. Therefore, today's Xitang Courtyard is bustling like never before.

Although they were whispering excitedly, that was before Du Jingyi came out.

When she just walked out of the house, all the servants in the courtyard stood upright without saying a word.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi was happy.

After all, such rules should exist in the Gaomen compound.

If they are all like those sneaky and gossiping people outside Dongyuan, it will be a disaster to keep them.

Thinking of this, I admire Steward He and Nanny Dou even more.

The general's mansion in the future will probably be able to live in peace.

So he smiled and said.

"Winter clothes are distributed today, the rules are the same as before, two sets per person, and other arrangements will be made when we go to the general's mansion. You are all old people who have followed Dongyuan for many years, and you are also trusted by the general and me. I also hope that you will not forget your original intention and work hard.”

After that, he raised his hand.

Seeing this, the maid Yingying took a step forward and stood side by side with Luju.

One person distributes, and one person is responsible for receiving according to fingerprints.

It's a harmony.

However, in addition to winter clothes, each of them also got a small purse.

It doesn't look very eye-catching, but it still has some weight in your hand.

Seeing this everyone is puzzled.

On the other hand, Mama Cai, who was standing beside her, smiled a little, and said straight away.

"This purse contains a little thought from the young lady. The move is coming soon, so everyone should be more considerate."

Seeing this, the servants all looked very happy.

This small but heavy reward shows that it is either gold or silver, otherwise it is not so easy to hold if it is a copper coin.

Those who were curious immediately opened it quietly and took a look.

Sure enough, there were some golden melon seeds inside, and counting them carefully, they were worth half a year's wages.

Such a generous reward is naturally exciting in the eyes of everyone.

Loyalty does not mean poverty. In Du Jingyi's view, loyalty needs enough money to satisfy it.

This will last longer.

After everyone received what they deserved, they all respectfully thanked their young wife.

Following her, I am afraid that this good life will not be interrupted in the future.

Therefore, everyone is eager to go to the general's mansion as an errand earlier.

Emotions have risen quite a bit.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi waved his hands and told everyone to disperse.

She still has important things to do today, and she has to go to the door.

Not for anything else, just to take sister-in-law Liu, nephew Ping'er, and eighth sister Xueniang to see how the general's mansion is being repaired.

So, when I went back to the room to tidy up, I asked someone to invite them.

After a stick of incense, all four of them left the door of the Duke's Mansion happily.

He never noticed Beiyuan's current depression.

Since the fifth room was cleared out, the people in the third room have behaved a lot.

They also knew a thing or two about Mrs. Wei's methods before, and they always felt that it was a relative's face, so she didn't dare to restrain the third wife too much.

Now, even a fool can see that keeping them here is just to disgust Dong Yuan.

If Mrs. Wei was really threatened, it would be an uprooting gesture.

I'm afraid that their end will not be as good as that of the fifth room, so the third room's people want to leave.

But where should we go when we leave?

Everyone in the room was gloomy, even Shang Erlang, who usually liked to sleep outside, drink and gamble, stayed at home obediently today and did not dare to go out indiscriminately.

After a while, Shang Sanlang spoke.

"Or, let's move to the house on Osmanthus Lane. Anyway, the third room was left to us by our great-grandfather. Although it's a bit small, it's better than staying here and being controlled by others."

Having said that, except for San Lang's daughter-in-law, no one seems to be willing.

The reason is simple, moving is not difficult.

But how to live on your own is troublesome.

After all, those shop title deeds that Sanfang used to distribute have also been spent over the years, and those who sell for money sell for money, there is not much left.

What can be left behind belong to the coffin books of the third old master and the third old lady.

Asking the two of them to take out those things, one is unwilling, and the other is that it is useless.

You can't just live with Erlang's daughter-in-law's dowry.

So everyone is silent.

Seeing that no one answered his husband-in-law's proposal, San Lang's daughter-in-law sighed, tugged on San Lang's sleeve, and signaled him to stop talking.

Anyway, it's useless, and it's easy to be annoying.

Seeing this, Erlang's daughter-in-law had an idea in her heart.

Rather than being bundled together as a big family, it is better to live alone.

She has the help of her natal family, and she also has a shop that can make money.

It is no problem to support two sons.

But if you add such a large group of people, it's hard to say.

Sure enough, it is beneficial to gather together, and it is also beneficial to disperse.

It's just that it's not easy to say this kind of thing from her mouth now, otherwise, if outsiders know about it, they will definitely be unfilial in various arrangements.

After all, there are grandparents, father-in-law and mother-in-law.

No matter what they said, they couldn't find any good excuses.

So, fell into a pool of stagnant water again.

Compared to their anguish and troubles, Xiyuan's side is not much less.

Ever since Shang Zhihe was trampled and broken by Prince Fu, no one in this yard has ever smiled.

Fu Wang and his wife sent a large amount of medicinal materials here, but they couldn't relieve their pain.

The imperial doctor came to look at it carefully, and said that it can be cured so that the legs and feet cannot be seen to be lame, but this is only when walking.

If you want to ride horses, shoot arrows, run, jump and chase things, you won't be able to do that in the future.

This is tantamount to blocking half of Shang Zhi and his future future. How can this not make Xiyuan feel miserable?
Especially Mrs. Wei, on the left is her grandson crying in pain, her daughter-in-law is gnashing her teeth, and on the right is her daughter and son-in-law's sincere apology, but to no avail.

Instead, her body, which had been well maintained for many years, suddenly collapsed, and now she suffers from severe headaches every day.

But when I close my eyes, I can't sleep well.

Those who have been tossing around in just a few days are all sallow, which makes people see their real age.
