Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 6

Cherry knew that today was the first time for his wife and the general to meet everyone in the Duke's mansion.

Therefore, it is the same as serving tea on the second day after the wedding, and requires more attention.

After thinking about Shang Ji's outfit just now.

So she brought a set of willow-dyed horse-faced long skirts with brocade-patterned trousers.

The whole person looks warm and elegant.

Du Jingyi took a look, then nodded in agreement.

After the upper body, it really looks good.

In particular, this dress perfectly matches the complexion.

Du Jingyi was originally white, tender and soft, even more so at this moment.

"Young Madam, let me give you a Chaoyun bun, and how about some hairpins of good jade color?"

It was Li Zhu who spoke.

She is dexterous, so she can do many fashionable hairstyles.

Du Jingyi was originally a beauty.

So after dressing up with care, it is even better than before.

After everything was ready, Du Jingyi ordered.

"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 that were not bad.

Although it is a craft of hollowing out and engraving silk.

But it is also very heavy, and it is heavy in the hand.

Seeing this, Li Zhu was very surprised, and asked immediately.

"Young Madam, what are you doing with so many gold bracelets?"

"Have you forgotten those who love the autumn breeze?"

Li Zhu suddenly realized.

After all, their lives are more comfortable.

So they all forgot that the Duke's Mansion is a real big family.

There are loyal patriotic patriots, but naturally there are also unscrupulous parasites.

The emperor of the previous dynasty was violent and immoral, so that the people were in dire straits.

So decades ago, there were uprisings everywhere.

Today's Holy Majesty is only the second emperor of the Daxing Dynasty.

It took only a few decades for the previous dynasty to take over the ten thousand li country.

Therefore, among the dignitaries and lords in Suian City, there are many big bosses with mud-legged backgrounds.

The old man who died in the Duke of Shang's mansion was one of them.

He was born in the same village as Emperor Kaizong.

As Emperor Kaizong raised the banner, those who pulled the cloth also started an uprising.

Originally, I was thinking of fighting for a few mouthfuls of food to fill my stomach, but I didn't know that I cooked it on the right stove!

Not only did he become a minister who made great contributions to the new emperor's overthrow of the old government.

He also gave the title and mansion of the Duke of the state.

The elder brother has become a big celebrity, and the younger siblings under this hand naturally follow suit.

The merchant is a multi-child family with three sons and two daughters.

Except that Erniang Shang got married and stayed in Changzhou.

The other younger brothers and sisters all brought their families to join their elder brother Shang Guogong.

Shang Siniang is better than her brother.

Many years ago, at the discretion of her elder brother, she married a descendant of the Xu family in the same village.

Now he brought his husband and children to Suian City, although he wanted to get some shelter.

But in the final analysis, I still want to be self-reliant.

So with the help of Shang Guogong, he and his husband bought over a hundred acres of land on the outskirts of the city.

Then add that the husband and wife are also diligent, and most of the children are stable and honest.

So these years have been prosperous.

On the contrary, the second-bedroom younger brother who did nothing and was useless became a burden that Shang Guogong couldn't get rid of.

Naturally, he could only follow him to take root in this mansion and settle down.

This stay lasted for decades.

Even Shang Guogong had passed away many years ago.

Before he died, he also gave them some family property.

But the people in the third and fifth rooms still pretended not to know anything.

It is to rely on the big house.

Life and death are unwilling to leave the Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, the two-bedroom snail lived in the two courtyards of Beiyuan.

There are even great-grandchildren now.

Still squeezed and refused to move out alone.

After all, the elder brothers of the third and fifth bedrooms are still alive.

A little bit is a little bit.

If the third old master Shang and the fifth old master Shang are gone.

Then if their descendants want to stay in the Duke's Mansion, it will be unfair.

As Du Jingyi got up, he thought of a certain family dinner last year.

Those three-bedroom and five-bedroom people "borrowed" a lot of good jewelry from her.

There is still no intention of returning it.

In this way, if Du Jingyi still can't learn to be smart.

That's the problem with her stupidity.

There is a saying that green jade is priceless and gold has a price.

This kind of gold bracelet is the most suitable for sending them off.

"Since that's the case, let the slave find some brocade boxes to put them in."

"Ah."

The brocade box is huge and has some weight in itself.

It is heavy in the hand.

It would be most appropriate to use it to tease people from the third and fifth bedrooms.

After everything is ready.

Du Jingyi waited in front of Xitang Courtyard with Cherry and Lizhu.

Not long after, Shang Ji who followed Luo Yuan also came out of the study.

In front of the gate of Xitang courtyard, there are two Podocarpus pine trees that Du Jingyi bought at a high price.

Also known as Qiansong.

It was a "treasure weapon" for her to attract money, so naturally she took care of it very carefully.

Shang Ji didn't know much about this thing.

I just thought the tree looked a little interesting.

It didn't take long to see Du Jingyi.

The way she dressed with care today fell into Shang Ji's eyes.

Of course, it was more amazing than when we met yesterday and early this morning.

It's just a year-round march.

He was used to covering up his thoughts, so he didn't reveal anything.

"I have met the general myself."

"Well, let's go."

"Yes."

The couple walked side by side along the stone path all the way to Yunjin Courtyard.

The scenery that Du Jingyi felt so familiar in the past seems to be a little different today.

This state mansion is big, but not elegant enough.

There are neither pavilions and pavilions with flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, nor cornices and railings with carved beams and painted buildings.

The roughness of the general's family background can be seen.

It cannot be compared with the Xitang Courtyard carefully built by Du Jingyi.

It was the first time that Shang Ji, Du Jingyi and his wife walked in the Duke's mansion.

Therefore, there were more than one servant girls who stopped to peek.

Sensing those probing eyes behind him, Shang Ji frowned slightly.

On the contrary, it was Du Jingyi with her back straight.

Not to be underestimated at all!
It is really strange to say that this country's government.

Even though the mansion is so big, there are hundreds of servants serving it, but the rules are not very good.

If a domestic servant looks around in his master's house, what good rules can he have?

It is said that the original match of the Duke.

When Shang Ji's biological mother, Madam Gu, was still alive, she had strict rules.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wei, the stepmother who was supported by a concubine, became a lot looser after she came to power.

Just look at the imperial style of Housekeeper He and Nanny Dou of Xitang Courtyard.

You can find the difference with the entire Duke's Mansion.

Du Jingyi was deeply touched by this point.

After passing through a garden, the two came to the center of the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.

The three characters of Yunjinyuan are written vigorously and forcefully.

Shang Ji looked up at the plaque, his complex eyes showed a trace of disgust.

It seems unwilling to step in here.

Du Jingyi didn't quite understand what he meant, so he stood there without making a sound.

After a while, seeing that his previous indifference returned to his face, he said neatly.

"go in."

"it is good."
