Chapter 159: Fall

Du Jingyi felt that his cousin was truly not afraid of death, and that he could live comfortably on the one acre of land of his own.

And you have to do this!

Isn't he afraid that when he loses all his money, these young masters will take his life?

"How much did the third room pay?"

"I don't know the exact amount, but I estimate it to be around 500 taels, which is the lowest amount."

Five hundred taels. Considering the current situation of the third house, if they can afford five hundred taels to do business, it would probably empty the family's savings.

His expression suddenly looked unhappy, and he went from being cheerful just now to being a little silent.

It’s not that Du Jingyi felt sorry for the third room being cheated, but he felt that they were desperate and would fail this time.

Du Jingyi looked down on other people, thinking that Shang Sanlang and his wife were still somewhat sober-minded, and were the only two good bamboo shoots among a sea of ​​bad bamboos.

So Du Jingyi had to think about whether to remind them.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the servant of the Du family come to report.

"Madam, everything is ready, but do we want to eat now?"

Mrs. Du looked up at the sky outside. It was already noon. She couldn't help but smile and said.

"Time flies. It's almost noon. Send someone to invite the master and his family, as well as the mother-in-law, to have dinner first. For the eldest lady's meal, cook some light porridge and send it over first."

"Yes, ma'am."

Du Jingyi spoke only after the servants left.

"Don't worry, mother. I will consider this matter carefully."

"Okay, you cut it off yourself."

Today is a good day, and the affairs of the third room will not affect everyone, especially after gathering in the flower hall, everyone is smiling.

The two elders of the He family were not reserved. They looked at the dishes on the table and said with a smile.

"The cooking skills of the Du family's cook are extraordinary. We have only been here for a few days, but we have already eaten so much that we can't stop. When we return to Pingzhou, I am afraid we will have to change to a more spacious carriage."

When Uncle He spoke, everyone started laughing.

Mr. Du also replied jokingly.

"Don't worry, my dear father-in-law. We have plenty of spacious carriages and carriages at home."

After saying that, he touched his round belly and laughed out loud.

The meaning was clear as day, and the two of them picked up the wine next to them and drank it all.

Then, He Shilin also raised his glass and spoke to everyone present.

"Now that the baby is born and Xiang Niang is doing well, I am extremely grateful to my father-in-law and mother-in-law for taking care of the baby. My father and mother came all the way here in the snow and wind. I have no way to repay them. I will treat Xiang Niang well in the future and raise the baby to be plump and white."

These words were spoken in a simple and sincere manner, but Du Jingyi made a joke.

"It's not enough to be fat and white. You have to be like my brother-in-law, with a bright future ahead of you."

After hearing this, the two elders of the He family laughed so hard that their eyes could no longer be seen.

Now that they have a grandson, they will set off back to Pingzhou after their son's spring imperial examination is over.

Moreover, after studying hard for so many years, all I wanted was to be on the list, so I was very happy to hear Du Jingyi say that.

"Thanks to my second sister, I will definitely work hard!"

He Shilin is in a good mood and feels very proud of himself.

Shang Ji drank a glass with him and didn't say much.

He didn't know much about the path of a civil servant, but if his brother-in-law could really become an official in the court based on his abilities, he would not hesitate to lend a helping hand.

The family had lunch in harmony and sat for a while, but still did not wait for Du Jingxiang to wake up.

Mrs. Du glanced outside and saw that the wind and snow had stopped a little, so she hurriedly spoke.

"Go back first and come back in a few days. Your sister needs a good rest, and so do you. With such a heavy snowstorm, don't even think about coming here. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it after the New Year."

Du Jingyi also knew that his mother meant well, so he nodded and replied.

"Okay, my daughter will go back first. If there is anything else, I will send Lizhu back."

Mrs. Du and Mr. Du looked at Du Jingyi and his wife with satisfaction, and then accompanied them to the gate.

He waited until the couple got into the carriage before turning back.

The sky was bright and the clouds were shadowy, and the wind and snow stopped.

When I came here, there were not many people on the street, but now people are starting to clean the streets.

These days, there has been constant wind and snow in Sui'an City.

Sometimes, after just a nap, the snow would pile up to the calves, so people had to come and clean it up every day.

The bamboo broom hit the bluestone floor again and again. I got used to it after hearing it so many times.

In the carriage, Shang Ji was afraid that the alcohol he had just drunk would make Du Jingyi feel sick, so he sat a little further away.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Instead, Du Jingyi told the story about the third room.

"That's how it is. I don't want to get involved, but no matter how much I dislike him, Du Jingxian is also a member of the Du family. If the Third House loses everything because of him, I'm afraid there will be trouble again in the future."

Shang Ji listened carefully, but his face remained calm.

After a moment he spoke.

"Got it, I'll take care of it, don't worry."

"Um."

Now that things have been said, whether or not to advise the third room and how to do so is now up to your husband.

Since returning to the General's Mansion, Du Jingyi has been living a carefree life like a god.

My nephew's name was finally decided on the seventh day after he was born.

After Du Jingyi received the news from home, he smiled and muttered a few words.

"He Qianyun, He Qianyun, this name sounds really nice."

Looking back at the place where The Condor Heroes was shot, the evening clouds are thousands of miles away.

It looks simple, but if you look closely, it feels quite vast.

Du Jingyi was also very satisfied with the name and then asked a question.

"What's your nickname? Brother Yun?"

Lizhu replied with a smile.

"Young Madam is really smart. This is what the master meant."

Cherry couldn't help but snicker, then teased her.

"Our Lizhu has really grown up and has learned to flatter others."

Her full name is He Qianyun, and her nickname is Yun Ge'er. Isn't that quite normal? How come when Li Zhu said it, it became the cleverness of the young lady?

Lizhu, on the other hand, didn't feel embarrassed at all. She chuckled twice and responded.

"It's all thanks to Sister Cherry's good teaching!"

"You little bastard! I don't know where you learned this from. It's only been a few days and you're already so smooth-talking."

Cherry even pretended to wave her fist, which made Du Jingyi laugh.

Unexpectedly, Lizhu muttered something.

"My sister also said that if I didn't know how to relieve myself, I would have been suffocated to death by Mr. Liu. He taught me to practice for two hours every day and to say no more than ten sentences."

After saying this, he deliberately crossed his two index fingers together for a gesture.
