After breakfast, they changed their clothes and went next door.
The people from the Du family are all in the courtyard next door at the moment. Although they don’t eat together at noon, it’s nice to sit together for a while in the morning.
When Mr. Du heard Lu Zheng and Su Jianwei calling him grandpa, he took out a top-quality imperial green jade bracelet from a rosewood box and put it on Su Jianwei's wrist.
Su Jianwei clearly felt the burning gazes around him when the bracelet was put on his wrist.
But she seemed not to notice, and just stood obediently beside Lu Zheng and recognized people with him.
The Du family has quite a few people, at least twenty in total.
Although I already gave the share money yesterday, there is still a meeting gift today.
Not only the elders give it to Su Jianwei, Su Jianwei also gives it to his younger peers and juniors.
The gifts Su Jianwei gave were all the same. They were gold and jade bracelets that Rong Wanting had customized for her before their wedding. Some were big, some were small, neither too big nor too small.
The wife of Du's fourth uncle is from the countryside. She didn't expect that she would have to give a gift in addition to the share of money. She watched helplessly as her sisters-in-law all gave theirs. She was so anxious that she didn't know how to start the conversation.
It was Uncle Du who pulled her arm, revealing a small box.
Uncle Du gave Su Jianwei a pearl necklace of excellent quality.
Even though he is just an ordinary worker now, with his father here, he still has some stocks, not to mention that when his younger sister got married and divided the family a few years ago, he got a lot of good things.
Even in the imperial capital, he owns two properties.
Uncle Du Si’s wife Cao Xiuli’s eyes widened when she saw the pearl necklace, but there was nothing she could do. Since others had given gifts when they first met, they couldn’t refuse.
Originally, these two sisters-in-law in the city didn't think much of her. If she didn't take it, who knows how they would plot against her behind her back.
Cao Xiuli pretended to be generous, but her heart was bleeding. Seeing that her eldest son was about to get married at the age of 20, if this pearl necklace was pawned...
Before Cao Xiuli could finish her muttering, she saw Su Jianwei taking the box with a smile and thanking her, then taking out a gold and jade bracelet and handing it to his little girl.
Du Zhizhi looked at the bracelet in front of her in disbelief and subconsciously looked at her father. She didn't know whether she should accept it or not.
She had never had anything so good before.
Uncle Du felt a little sad when he saw his daughter's reaction. He nodded and put it on her himself.
He had a lot of property, but he was used to saving everything, not spending it recklessly or showing off.
So the children in the family only know that their situation is better than that of people in the same village, but they don’t know that even in the imperial capital, their family’s conditions are not bad.
This was just a small episode. With Mr. Du around, the family recognition process went very smoothly in the morning.
Su Jianwei's generosity also left a very good impression on many elders.
Yes, no one in the Rong family is not generous.
Before Lu Zheng and Su Jianwei went to the Lu family, Mr. Du called them into the study and gave them some instructions.
In fact, it was mainly to instruct Lu Zheng.
Mr. Du also dislikes Lu Hai, but no matter what, Lu Hai is Lu Zheng's father. He can have opinions about Lu Hai, but Lu Zheng still has to maintain a good relationship with Lu Hai on the surface.
"You've already embarrassed your father a while ago. Be careful when you go back today. There are so many people watching in the compound. You have to think about your reputation. Besides, your old leader is here too."
At this point, Mr. Du instructed, "I found two jars of twenty-year-old daughter's red wine. I'll give it to your old boss. He likes this kind of wine the most."
Lu Zheng nodded.
Mr. Du gave instructions and Lu Zheng nodded. After doing this many times, Mr. Du became annoyed.
"Don't just nod, speak!"
Old Master Du got angry when he saw his grandson's wooden appearance.
It's such a waste of such a good-looking face. Who did he take this personality from? He is so rigid like a piece of wood. It's really infuriating.
"I see."
"That's all I need to know."
Old Du sighed slightly and said, "Those two adults are narrow-minded. Your brother is incompetent. That illegitimate daughter will try to please you, but stay away from her."
When Su Jianwei heard the word "illegitimate daughter", she looked at her fingers silently.
Mr. Du said happily, "When I think about how your father couldn't sleep all these years because he couldn't find a successor, I'm so happy."
"But public affairs are public affairs, and private affairs are private affairs. Since he's interested in mending relations with you, don't be so stubborn."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at your father's comrades who have been through life and death together. They are all very capable now. They are all connections that you will need in the future..."
"Grandpa." Lu Zheng interrupted Grandpa Du and said stiffly, "We should go."
Old Master Du looked at Lu Zheng and sighed deeply. He also knew that it was impossible for the knot in his heart that had been there for so many years to change overnight.
Now Mr. Du felt a little regretful about saying bad things about that bastard Lu Hai to Lu Zheng.
He looked at Su Jianwei who had been standing next to him and said, "Girl, please watch out and don't start a fight."
Su Jianwei: ...? ?
A fight, right?
"Okay, Grandpa."
When the two of them drove to the military compound with the things that Grandpa Du had prepared for them, Lu Zheng saw Su Jianwei secretly glancing at him and said helplessly, "Don't worry, I'm an adult and I won't fight."
It was just that when he was still a minor, he once led people to put his two so-called brothers-in-law and Lu Ming in sacks and beat them up several times. Did the old man have to remind him not to fight every time?
