523. Chapter 523 Marrying a Maid



Of course Du Jingyi had to ask. How could he not ask about such a good thing?

So, he immediately asked someone to find Dan Ruo and Lu Ju. Du Jingyi was much more excited than going to the appointment.

When the two of them arrived, they thought that the lady wanted to tell them something, so they both stood respectfully and politely. But as Du Jingyi asked the question, their faces turned red with embarrassment.

"Madam has already spoken, so the two of you should stop being shy. If you miss it, it will be a lifetime thing, understand?"

Yingtao seemed to be more anxious than the other two, so when they heard this, the two of them thought about it for a moment and nodded. Seeing this, Du Jingyi happily spoke immediately.

"You are my maids, so you can't be careless about getting married. Although you are all born in the general's mansion, I will buy you a set of courtyards outside. When you are old, if you don't want to stay in the general's mansion, you can also settle outside. As for the wedding dress, I will have to trouble Lu Ju. You have the most skillful hands, so it should be no problem to finish it within three months, right?"

Within three months?

So anxious? Lu Ju thought for a moment and said.

"Three months is a bit too urgent. I still have winter clothes for the general's wife and the young masters to make, so I probably can't take care of them all."

"It's just winter clothes. You can wear them last year. Stop what you're doing and concentrate on sewing wedding clothes for yourself and Danruo. You can choose the material and style. Don't be stingy. They have to look good, okay?"

"Thank you ma'am for your consideration."

"What are you thanking me for? We have only just met here. You have been with me for so long, so the dowry cannot be just a yard. Well, five shops in the south of the city, two hundred acres of paddy fields in the suburbs of Beijing, a farm, three thousand taels of silver as a dowry, and jewelry..."

"Enough, enough, madam. I only know that you are marrying a maid. I would have thought you were going to train two landlord wives. This is so respectable. Go around Sui'an City and ask around. Who has a maid?"

Dan Ruo seldom spoke, but when she did, she spoke the truth. Lu Ju next to her was nodding her head desperately, feeling that she was not worthy of the dowry and wanted to stop him, but was blocked by Du Jingyi.

"What are you afraid of? Your wife has the most money. This little bit of money is nothing to worry about. Just accept it. A girl's life is not the same as when she was a girl after she got married. With more money in her hands, she will be more confident and can get more respect from the Liu and Jiang families."

The maids were deeply moved by Du Jingyi's thoughts.

For them, being able to enter the Du family and become Du Jingyi's personal maid in this life was the most fortunate thing. Now they could get such a result. Just thinking about it made them laugh so hard that they would wake up in their beds. So the two of them knelt down one after another and kowtowed.

"We all remember how Madam treats us servants. We will serve you well in the future and will never make mistakes."

They wouldn't say anything else. They are both craftsmen, so let their skills show their true colors.

Yingtao was also happy for them, so she specifically requested that Mother Cai come to help them with the wedding, and Du Jingyi agreed immediately.

Therefore, right after the funeral in the general's mansion was over, news of two happy events came out, which made everyone from top to bottom happier and felt that life could move on.

However, seeing that their dowries were so generous, many stewards and servants in the mansion began to have ideas about Lizhu and Yingtao.

Now the two of them have no interest in these matters between men and women, so they have cold faces when they go in and out every day. Not to mention people who are interested, even people who are not interested would feel a headache when seeing it.

From June to July, the temperature in Sui'an City became increasingly hot.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the general's mansion, so most of the ice is used in Xitang Courtyard and the courtyards of the four children.

The children have grown up to five or six years old, so each of them has his or her own house. Now the backyard is being expanded. When the children are about ten years old, each of them will have his or her own yard.

In the Breeze Pavilion, Du Jingyi looked at his four sons who were already waist-high, and felt as if his sons were growing up. Although they were only five or six years old, their figures and appearances looked no worse than those of seven or eight-year-olds.

On the one hand, it is thanks to Gu Shaoyu's training, and on the other hand, it is thanks to Xia Meng's scientific parenting reminders, so the four children are not only handsome and strong, but also exude endless vitality, as if they are mouthfuls of living springs, and that strength will flow out continuously.

"Keep your shoulders down and your legs straighter. That's it."

Gu Shaoyu spoke one sentence at a time, and the four children followed his instructions.

Compared to Gu Shaoyu three years ago, he is now much fairer and doesn't look his age at all. One can't guess that he is almost forty years old.

If Gu Shaoyu in the past was a majestic general and a first-class duke, then Gu Shaoyu today is a founding father of the dynasty, gradually gaining a more solid sense, which is different from before.

He taught carefully, Du Jingyi watched intently, the children practiced with concentration and self-control, and the family of six lived a relaxed and comfortable life.

It’s a pity that such good days will only last a few days.

After returning from the Li family’s birthday party, I’m afraid the days of having to be on guard against plots every day like before will soon come again.

After a long while, seeing that the time had come, Gu Shaoyu finally let go and spoke to the four children.

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

"Let's stop here today and continue tomorrow."

"Yes, father."

The four children answered in loud and clear voices. Du Jingyi could hear them clearly while sitting in the pavilion. When they came over, he quickly handed them a handkerchief and warm water.

This has become an unspoken habit between mother and children. The four children took it and shouted with a smile.

"Mother."

Du Jingyi let out an "ah" and felt like raising a child without any worries.

So he watched them wipe some of the sweat off one by one and then said.

"Go back and take a rest before washing, otherwise it will hurt your body."

"Don't worry, mother. Your son will watch over your brothers and will never let them do anything wrong!"

Du Jingyi ordered people to build a large pool in their yard, but it was not deep, and was used for the four children to bathe. They had grown up now, so the people who served them, except for the wet nurse, were replaced by several servants.

Among these servants, the most capable ones are naturally Songshan and Ruijiang, who were selected by Du Jingyi for Tai Ge'er in the past. Songshan, in particular, is now older and has learned a lot from Butler He, so his words and actions reveal the style of a manager in a large family.

Seeing his current situation, Du Jingyi felt relieved that Tai Ge'er would go south to manage the Gu family in the future. (End of this chapter)
