Chapter 65 Cezhou Cuisine

"The chefs in my father-in-law's house are all very skilled, but I'm used to living in Cezhou, so I like these two familiar dishes very much."

Everyone took a look and found that it was indeed Cezhou’s breakfast.

Mr. Du nodded in approval and said.

"I understand, I understand. When you move, the cook will be sent along as well."

Du Jingyi was a little speechless.

Last time, we sent a chef who could cook Jinling cuisine, and now we are sending a chef who can cook Cezhou cuisine.

I have to say that they have some skills, as they can take one away every time they come.

Seeing this, Shang Ji's usually serious face became more calm and composed. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said.

"I will not refuse your kindness, father-in-law."

"You're welcome. We are a family."

He Shilin, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but touch his nose.

In fact, Pingzhou is not far from Cezhou, so he also likes the Cezhou cuisine cooked by this chef.

But his father-in-law had already said it, so he couldn't try to snatch the "favor" from him.

So, he secretly decided that he must eat Cezhou cuisine for a while before this cook was sent away.

It can also satisfy his cravings.

It was a very enjoyable breakfast.

Shang Ji wanted Du Jingyi to come back because he wanted her to have a good reunion with her family.

Therefore, after breakfast, he left early on the pretext of having military duties.

When leaving, Du Jingyi asked another question.

"General, will you be able to come back in the evening? If so, how about we have dinner together and then go back to the Duke's Mansion?"

Shang Ji thought about it and thought it was okay, so he nodded and said.

"All the things we need to do today are in the city. I will come over later. Is the twilight hour about right?"

"Well, I and everyone else will wait for you to come back and have dinner together."

"good."

After explaining everything, Shang Ji strode away with Luo Yuan.

Looking at his free and easy look, Mr. Du couldn't help but touched his round belly and said.

"When will I, as a father, be able to walk like this? That's really majestic."

There was envy in his words, but what he envied was not Shang Ji's authority, but the way he walked.

I have to say that Mr. Du’s ideas are really unique.

As a result, Du Jingyi leaned over slyly, pretended to take a look, and then said with a sigh.

"Well, that's impossible."

Hearing this, Mr. Du pretended to be angry and slapped her, then said viciously.

"You little bastard, you are like water spilled on a married woman. You are talking about your father like this. Aren't you afraid that your mother will beat you?"

"Mother wouldn't want to hit me, right~"

Du Jingyi knew how to find a backer for herself. Knowing that her mother loved her, she started to act like a spoiled brat.

Mrs. Du looked at the father and daughter helplessly and couldn't help but say.

"Okay, my uncle is still here, let him see the joke."

In the past, the father and daughter loved to bicker with each other, and they never got rid of this "bad habit", so they suddenly forgot that there was actually an "outsider" brother-in-law in the family.

Unfortunately, Mr. Du and Du Jingyi are both very thick-skinned people and are not afraid of these things.

After some chatting and laughing, the conversation passed.

He Shilin still had the spring imperial examination to take, so after sitting for a while he went back to his study to continue his hard work.

Therefore, only four people from the Du family were left in the main house of Mingse Courtyard.

This was the first time they had such a reunion since their two daughters got married, so the four of them cherished it very much.

The first person to speak was naturally Mrs. Du, who always put her daughter's situation first. She asked with a slightly serious and worried look on her face.

"Some time ago, did someone in the Duke's Mansion cause trouble?"

Du Jingyi was a little confused, but soon understood.

"Is mother talking about the death of a steward in the fifth house a few days ago?"

Hearing the word "dead person", Du Jingxiang felt his back tighten and he picked up the handkerchief at hand and covered his mouth.

She is timid and is most afraid of these things.

So when Du Jingyi noticed it, he immediately patted her arm and gave her a reassuring smile.

Mrs. Du was not afraid of danger, but her expression was much more serious than before.

"Well, I heard that his surname is Qi, and he is a distant relative of the Fifth Lady's maternal family in the Duke's Mansion. Your Wulang has been talking about this matter outside for a long time, but I sent someone to inquire carefully, and he didn't say anything bad about you and your wife, so I didn't send anyone to send you any news."

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

Hearing this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but laugh.

And Yingtao and Lizhu, who were standing behind her, couldn't help but laugh along with their young mistress.

The three of them laughed strangely, and the Du couple and Du Jingxiang looked at her in confusion.

Only then did Du Jingyi tell the story about Manager Qi II.

Including how he angered Shang Ji and got beaten, how the people from the fifth room came to cause trouble, and naturally also included how she fought back.

The three members of the Du family looked at each other in bewilderment.

Du Jingxiang was still in shock from Shang Ji killing a servant with just one move, but what surprised the Du couple even more was that their daughter actually used that medicine.

That was a valuable item that Mr. Du had spent a lot of money to buy from the Western Regions.

They had made a plan to allow Du Jingyi a way out.

Once you're infected with that drug, symptoms will appear in about a month, depending on your individual situation.

At first you feel unwell in your body, then gradually you will feel sore, weak, and even vomit and feel dizzy.

Then, some red rashes will appear and may be very itchy.

It looks scary, but it's actually not contagious.

But everyone will be afraid of the epidemic.

Naturally, people who might have contracted the "epidemic" would be moved out of the palace.

In this way, the Du family would naturally have the opportunity to go and ask for a divorce, allowing Du Jingyi to be free.

What the Du couple didn't expect was that the medicine was not used by their own daughter, but was given to the people in the fifth room first.

So Mr. Du lowered his voice and asked.

"Have you collected the antidotes?"

"Don't worry, Daddy. Cherry is doing things. Are you still worried that it won't be appropriate?"

Hearing this, Cherry spoke very calmly.

"Master, rest assured, I didn't touch anything. I also disposed of the tray properly after use. I would never let anyone else find out and affect the young lady."

"That's good."

The Du couple are not kind-hearted people.

Moreover, those dirty relatives in the Duke's Mansion are not much better than those in their Du family.

Therefore, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her daughter using medicine to deal with them.

Get rid of as many as you can, otherwise why keep them? To be your ancestor?

Du Jingyi meant the same thing, so he left no room for maneuver when he took action.
