Chapter 53: Blinded by Money
The ten thousand taels of gold bestowed by the emperor sounded a little light and insignificant.
But when everyone really opened the boxes, the golden ingots, one by one, looked like little golden pigs about to give birth, and fell into Du Jingyi's eyes.
Butler He and Madam Dou, who came with them, have also seen the world.
When I saw this "warehouse scene", I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
Not to mention the maids Yingtao and Lizhu beside them.
The Du family is rich, and their young lady is also rich. They have known this since they were young.
But that money is mostly on paper, in furniture, and in personal relationships.
This is the first time that it is displayed so nakedly in front of me.
It must be said that the impact of ten thousand ounces of gold was quite great. Even Du Jingyi was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"Your Majesty treats the general very well. We must be more loyal to the general."
It sounded like she said this in a joking tone.
But who would have thought that the two stupid girls beside her would immediately start swearing and swearing.
"Even if I have to go through fire and water, I will never betray the general or the young lady!"
Then he said to himself that he would not betray this huge amount of gold.
Such a confident look actually made Du Jingyi, Butler He and Madam Dou laugh.
Several people were in a good mood and stood in the warehouse admiring the view for a long time.
Then Du Jingyi spoke to Butler He and Nanny Dou.
"Let's start the construction tomorrow. The sooner it's finished, the sooner we can move into this house."
"Yes, Madam!"
Then Du Jingyi spoke to Nanny Dou.
"I remember that Madam chose a few auspicious dates for me last time. It seems that the twenty-sixth of next month is not a good date. How about setting it on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month? Three or two months will be enough time for you to fix up this place?"
"Don't worry, Madam. One or two months will be enough. We just need to move our things in the East Garden. It will be enough."
"Okay, if that's the case, then let's arrange it. Move in on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. We can cook Laba porridge in the mansion in a few days. If we celebrate the New Year in a lively manner, it will definitely be a good omen for the coming year!"
Du Jingyi's words are full of expectations for the future.
Not only her, but everyone present felt the same way.
After finishing the work at the General's Mansion, Du Jingyi led everyone back to the Duke's Mansion.
He didn't feel that way when he went there, but now after comparing it with the General's Mansion, Du Jingyi now dislikes everything about Dongyuan, which he originally thought was pretty good.
But fortunately, it only takes three or two months.
As we moved gradually, the days didn't seem long anymore.
After having dinner alone, Du Jingyi felt a little tired.
She asked Cherry to bring a wooden barrel over and she soaked her feet in the ear room.
This afternoon, Du Jingyi walked a path that he had not walked in the past ten days or half a month.
Her skin was delicate to begin with, so the soles of her feet were a little red and swollen.
Fortunately, the shoes were made by Lu Ju himself, otherwise, they would have been damaged.
When I put my delicate feet into the warm water, it was a little painful at first, but gradually I felt comfortable.
Du Jingyi sighed.
"Today is really tiring."
Cherry, the maid serving her, heard it and laughed, then echoed it.
"Madam, you have worked hard today. You have to deal with the affairs of the Fifth House and the General's Mansion. You are really exhausted. I will massage your feet later. I guarantee that you will not feel any pain after you have a good sleep."
"Forget it. You've been with me all day, so you should wash up and rest early. Starting tomorrow, we should clean up the yard and move things over slowly so that we can buy more things bit by bit."
Du Jingyi gave the order, and the maid Cherry nodded and answered immediately.
"Well, rest assured, Madam, I will take care of it."
"You have to take good care of the two golden pines at the door. Find an experienced gardener to take care of them. I don't want the famous species I moved there to die."
"knew."
It is an indisputable fact that Du Jingyi is rich.
But at the same time, she is not wasteful.
Besides, these flowers, plants and trees have been with her for three years. Who says that plants and trees can be treated ruthlessly? She couldn't bear to part with them.
He gave instructions while soaking his feet.
The master and servant were talking in the ear room when suddenly Li Zhu rushed in from outside.
He looked as if he had heard some important news and spoke to Du Jingyi in a deliberately low voice.
"Madam, the general and the eldest madam had a quarrel."
Not only did Du Jingyi not believe what was said, Yingtao was also very surprised and immediately replied.
"How is that possible? Maybe you heard it wrongly."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lizhu frowned, but her expression looked like I was lying and I was a dog, and then she said.
"It happened this morning. The young lady was taking a nap at that time."
"ah?"
After hearing what Lizhu said, Cherry believed it this time and immediately said.
"When the general came back today, he came to see the young lady, but she was sleeping, so he didn't disturb her. Instead, he asked Luo Yuan to find Butler He and Madam Dou to talk to them in the study. I thought the general wanted to explain something to them. Could it be that he went to make trouble with the eldest young lady?"
When they heard this, they didn't quite believe it.
After all, the general respected his sister-in-law Liu very much, which could be seen from her attitude in the past few days since he came back.
Why did he suddenly run off and make a scene?
Du Jingyi wiped the water off his feet with a handkerchief, and then put on his Shu brocade soft satin shoes.
After taking a look at Cherry, he asked seriously.
"But what did you say?"
Cherry cried out that she was wronged and recounted the entire conversation she had with her general that morning.
At the end, he also specifically mentioned what happened last night when Shang Ji ran back to deliver medicine.
Du Jingyi was a little surprised when she heard this, but now was not the time for her to care about this matter.
After thinking about it, he said to Lizhu.
"In the next two days, you should inquire more about the activities of Fuqiu Courtyard. If the eldest sister-in-law makes any move, report it immediately, understand?"
"Don't worry, Madam. I understand."
After explaining to Lizhu, he turned to Yingtao and spoke again.
"Go tell Butler He that if the general comes back, tell him that I have something to discuss with you."
"good."
The two maids did not delay and hurried out of Xitang Courtyard.
Du Jingyi moved his heavy legs back to the main room, rested on the kang, and gently rubbed his legs.
His hands never stopped moving and his mind was filled with thoughts.
After thinking about it, she felt that the quarrel between her husband and sister-in-law was probably because of her, or because of her nephew Shang Zhiping.
If it was for Ping'er, she could feel a little relieved.
But if it's for her, for the power in the backyard, then it would be a bit tricky.
