Chapter 71 Night Talk

Shang Ji heard her say this and suddenly interrupted.

"Let's do it later. I haven't explained it clearly to my sister-in-law yet."

Du Jingyi raised his eyebrows and wanted to turn around, but Shang Ji's chin locked his shoulders, so he couldn't turn back.

You never would have thought that a general who is nearly thirty years old and looks so majestic would hesitate and not dare to explain.

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi smiled slightly, but didn't say much.

The two of them were talking and chatting, and no one knew when they fell asleep.

But that night, Du Jingyi slept with her head resting on Shang Ji's arm.

So much so that when he woke up the next day, he even thought that his hands had lost feeling.

Getting up in the early morning in late autumn is a little easier than getting up in winter.

The servants of each household were coming in and out in an orderly manner, and the streets had already become bustling.

There are two people sitting at Liu Ji Wonton’s stall at the moment.

Just by looking at the luxurious appearance of their clothes, you can tell that they are not to be messed with.

Therefore, the Liu couple smiled and served two bowls of steaming wontons.

The skin is thin and the filling is small, which is different from the wontons we usually see.

But the small one is easy to eat.

When Du Jingyi saw the food on the table, he didn't hesitate to take the chopsticks with some excitement in his eyes and prepared to use it.

After taking a sip, it still has the nostalgic taste of the past.

I was sighing while eating.

"Their wontons must be eaten fresh, otherwise the taste won't be right when you take them back."

Having said this, she also said to her husband Shang Ji.

"Please... your husband try it too. It's delicious."

Shang Ji didn't pick up his chopsticks, but looked at Du Jingyi seriously, and then said something.

"My family used to call me Shao Yu. If you want, you can do the same."

Shao Yu?

Shang Shaoyu? Seeing that Du Jingyi didn't say anything, Shang Jifu explained.

"My grandfather gave it to me in the hope that I could live a life without worries and troubles."

I see.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled, like a flower bud that just bloomed in March, revealing charming vitality.

"He must love you very much."

"Um."

Whenever Shang Ji mentioned his grandfather's family, there was always a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Du Jingyi could see that his affection for the Gu family was hundreds or thousands of times better than his affection for the Shang family.

After all, that was what he considered his real home.

Shang Ji took a bite of the wonton and it tasted really good.

However, judging by Danruo's craftsmanship, the one that could make his wife still obsessed with him must be good.

Therefore, he also used a lot of it.

Only after he had eaten three bowls did Shang Ji feel full.

Originally, Du Jingyi thought that her husband was a big eater, but when she turned around and saw five empty bowls in front of Luo Yuan at the other table, she felt that it was natural for a man to be able to eat.

It was a pity for Cherry. Looking at Luo Yuan's heroic way of eating, she couldn't help but frown again.

After eating and drinking, it is natural to find something to do.

Shang Ji finally got a few days' rest; he didn't want to be trapped in the Duke's Mansion every day.

So the two did not go back, but walked side by side on the street.

When he was in Cezhou, he also liked to wander around in his spare time, to experience the city life and the people's hope for a stable life, so that he would have more strength to defend the territory.

Thinking of this, my pace slowed down.

Du Jingyi didn't have the same lofty idea of ​​shopping as Shang Ji. She wanted to see what people liked now. Was there a chance for her to participate in it, or to do something? In short, it was still about making money.

The couple walked and stopped on the street like this. Besides Luo Yuan, they were only accompanied by their maids Yingtao and Lizhu.

So it didn't attract much attention.

Others would just think that it was just a rich young man and his wife out shopping and would not think much about it.

After all, Sui'an City is the capital of the Daxing Dynasty. If you clap your hands casually, you will probably hit some princes and sons of the royal family.

It's quite common.

While strolling around, what surprised Shang Ji was probably Du Jingyi's eyesight.

Whether it was jade and gems, rouge and powder, fine wine and food, cloth and silk, tea and porcelain, or even some imported items, she knew them all.

It tells you bit by bit where they come from, what raw materials are used, how the craftsmanship is used, and even the market price.

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

Such ability made Shang Ji look at him with new eyes.

But on second thought, the Du family is so wealthy, and Du Jingyi is always smart, so he must know more than ordinary people because of what he has seen and heard.

But what he didn't know was that 60% of these shops were owned by Du Jingyi. Even if they were not, they had close business ties with the Du family.

So, saying these words is indeed as easy as pie for Du Jingyi.

There is shopping and there is eating.

The two men walked to the door of a restaurant and stopped.

"This is Zuixianlou, the largest restaurant in the city. I wonder if Madam has ever had a meal here before?"

Du Jingyi paused, not knowing whether he should say that their Du family owned a large stake in this restaurant, so it should not be too much to exaggerate and say that this was their own restaurant.

However, before she could open her mouth, the sharp-eyed waiter inside invited the shopkeeper over.

The shopkeeper’s surname is Zeng, and he is a bit plump.

But he's a smiling man at first glance, so he's most suitable for the business of welcoming and seeing off guests.

As soon as he saw Du Jingyi, he immediately stepped forward and bowed and spoke.

"My humble servant greets the young lady."

His attitude was respectful and his words were clear, and then he turned his gaze to Shang Ji.

Before Du Jingyi could even open his mouth, Shopkeeper Zeng bowed and spoke.

"Meet the General."

This made Luo Yuan feel a little strange.

They have never shown up here before, so how could the shopkeeper know them?

Shopkeeper Zeng was very observant. He immediately saw through his confusion and explained with a smile.

"When the general returned to the city in triumph, I went to join in the fun. Although you were not wearing armor, I still remember your face and temperament clearly."

On that day, many people rushed to join in the fun and welcome them, but today, as they walked along, no one recognized them.

From this we can see that this shopkeeper Zeng has an extraordinary eye and a quick mind.

Du Jingyi was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's performance. No wonder the restaurant was doing so well under his management.

The dividends alone amount to more than 100,000 taels each year.

However, this is the only restaurant that Du Jingyi holds as her dowry.

Therefore, Shang Ji really knew nothing about the wealth possessed by this seemingly harmless lady in front of him.

Manager Zeng personally welcomed them to an elegant room on the third floor that was not open to the public. The scenery here was unique and there were also compartments for rest.

Standing in front of the window and looking into the distance, you can even see half of Sui'an City.

Houses of different heights and bustling crowds of people.
