Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 67

If the two of them get married, then the merchants in Suian City may really be the only ones to follow their lead.

Master Du saw that his wife and daughters were puzzled, so he hurriedly told them all about what had happened these days.

"A few days ago, your Uncle Han said that he was going to Jingwangzhou's rice grain market to supply food. In the end, he prepared well, but was cut off by the Jia family on the way. If it is based on skills, the Jia family will naturally have no way to get along with you." Han Jiabi, but they have always been in the rice grain business, so I didn't think much about it at the time."

Mrs. Du also knew about this matter, but she didn't know why her husband brought it up now.

So she made up her mind and continued to listen to him.

"Later, Uncle Han asked me to have a drink, and then he said that the investigation was clear. The result of the bidding had already been determined by others. The Jia family didn't know which family burned incense, but they actually climbed up to the people of the Min Palace. Wangzhou was originally under the jurisdiction of King Min, so it is reasonable for them to win the bid by default."

If they do business like this, there is no one to support them, so they may not be able to eat meat and drink soup.

Except for Du Jingxiang, who never got involved in mundane affairs, all three members of the Du family were well aware of this.

"So, Dad thinks that the Jia family is following the way of the Duke's Mansion?"

"It's not impossible."

"I don't think so. Tangtang's father-in-law is just a shell. Even if he wants to help, it may not be possible for the Min Palace to give him this face, let alone Mrs. Wei. Seeing that she followed the Duke When you come to propose marriage, you know that you are powerful, how can you help the third wife like this? Isn't it fueling the flames of others and destroying your own prestige?"

Madam Du said sharply.

Obviously, she did not approve of Master Du's suspicion.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be a successor.

Especially in the Duke's mansion, there are evil relatives who can't lose their tails, and there are bloodlines left by the original wife.

Therefore, Mrs. Du did not believe that Mrs. Wei would help these people sincerely.

It would be nice not to join in the fire behind the scenes and watch the excitement.

Du Jingyi, on the other hand, was silent for a while after listening to her father's words.

Suddenly, another possibility came to mind.

"Father, mother, is it possible that we have lost our minds? It doesn't necessarily mean that someone from the Jia family has climbed the high branches of the Min Palace, or it may be that the Jia family has something in their hands that the Min Palace wants, no it's the same Is it possible to reach a consensus?"

Hearing their daughter's words, Master Du and Mrs. Du couldn't help thinking about it.

indeed.

It's hard to tell what's going on in the business world.

Sometimes you play the leading role and I take the stage, and sometimes it's the other way around.

It's just that Du Jingyi doesn't know, what can the Jia family have that can make people in the Min Palace feel that they have something in mind?
This piqued her interest.

It is true that I decided to go back and check it out from the third room.

It didn't matter that the fire was already burning in front of me, so I thought it was fireworks.

Looking sideways at her daughter's appearance of wanting to find out, Mrs. Du glanced at her husband with some displeasure.

It's okay to mention these things, but it makes her daughter's situation more complicated.

So, as always, he opened his mouth and persuaded him.

"Don't worry, your father and I are also inquiring about the Jia family's affairs outside. Don't make a fuss. The most important thing for you now is to gain a firm foothold in Dongyuan, or the general's mansion in the future. Don’t keep these things in your mind, just distinguish between the primary and the secondary.”

Mrs. Du's eyes were full of worry.

After all, they can handle the family where the elder daughter married, but they can't stretch their hands so long when the younger daughter marries.

Therefore, if she wants to live a smooth life, she still has to rely on her own toughness.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may be inferior.

The water in the Duke's mansion is not shallow, don't hurt yourself.

Du Jingyi knew that her mother was doing it for her own good, so she said in relief.

"Mother, don't worry, the general has already entrusted me with the keys to the cards in the new mansion and the middle reward matters, and the masonry team and servants to be selected have been prepared."

"That's good. I see that the second son-in-law is getting closer to you today. Take good care of it. Don't let people take advantage of you at this time."

Du Jingyi nodded.

Mother had mentioned this to her before, and she remembered it in her heart.

But what should come will come anyway, and it is useless to be anxious and prepared at the moment if it does not come.

So I changed the subject and said something else.

The Du family was very kind, but the Jia family they were talking about at the moment was very calculating with each other.

Jia's house in the west of the city was quiet in front of the door.

But in the study room of the inner house, there are ghosts hidden.

The Jia family father and son were talking, and there was Shang Liuniang who nodded slightly beside him.

She listened carefully, and from time to time she could give one or two good suggestions, so after she married into the Jia family, she was also taken seriously.

You can be a director in the back room, and you can also make some suggestions in the front.

Therefore, Jia Weiyou loves him very much.

"Father, the rice and grain business in Wangzhou has been taken care of by my son, but the Min Palace has been reluctant to give any news, so how can our people take over?"

It was Jia Weiyou who spoke.

He has used his mind to learn in the family business, and he can still do it among the younger generation of merchants.

His question made Master Jia's complexion collapse a lot.

Needless to say, the money they sent to Prince Min's Mansion has already greatly exceeded what the Jia family got from doing business in Wangzhou this time.

But the reason why he is still willing to send it is that, to put it bluntly, he wants to pave the way for Prince Min's Mansion.

Now it is rice grain, and there will be others in the future.

After all, business is endless.

If you lose money here, you need to make up for it elsewhere.

But the attitude of the original Minwang Mansion was quite good, why the indifference of the day after day has calmed down in the past few days, which makes Mr. Jia a little puzzled.

That's why I asked my daughter-in-law to come too.

There is no doubt about him, it is because she "ran into" Concubine Min in the Changchun Tower two days ago, and maybe she came back after finding out.

So, Master Jia changed his mind and looked at Shang Liuniang, and then asked.

"Second daughter-in-law, what do you think of this matter?"

Shang Liuniang is not constrained, she can get along well with people from her natal family, and people from her husband's family are naturally no problem.

So after thinking about it, he spoke out his plan.

"Father-in-law, the daughter-in-law really knew some secrets after meeting Princess Min. Now she doesn't get much favor from the old prince in the mansion, so even her status as a prince is a bit dangerous, so she wants to arrange some secrets. A young, beautiful, well-behaved and sensible woman came into the mansion to help win over the old prince."
