Du Jingyi didn't expect this either, but he just laughed it off.

"I think the bricklayer team that built the General's Mansion is good. Please introduce them to me and make some changes. If they can be finished before the end of summer, it will be the best."

"They are now repairing my elder sister's yard. She will be almost ready. It will only take about half a month. Aunt, don't worry. I will ask Madam Dou to talk to them right away."

"Oh, yes, there is also the wedding dress, which can't be neglected. Have you decided which store to order it from?"

Seeing this, Du Jingyi said with a smile.

"This is something that my family is worried about. Don't worry, aunt. I have already ordered the material and pattern from Uncle Han's embroidery workshop and will start in a few days. Aunt Han promised me that it would be finished within three months!"

The construction period of three months is neither long nor short, but since it was Du Jingyi who personally proposed it, the Han family naturally took it seriously and employed more than twice as many embroiderers to work on it, so they would never be careless or perfunctory.

"That's good, that's good. We can try it again when Doctor Xia comes back. If there's anything that's not suitable, we can change it."

"I don't think so. I had someone send her the clothes she usually wears and made them according to her measurements. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"I'll be at ease when you do the work."

Aunt Xing meant what she said, so the two of them discussed how to tidy up the yard.

Inside Xitang Courtyard, the two of them were discussing things. There was harmony among them, but there were some dark clouds over the Xing family not far away.

"The Empress is good at choosing daughters-in-law and winning people's hearts. It was just a spring show, but she actually finalized the marriages of the four princes. Master, if they join forces like this, will the situation of the Imperial Concubine and the Seventh Prince be a little troublesome?"

Anyone could see that the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince were attached to the Queen's party, so Madam Xing had to plan ahead for the sake of her daughter and grandson.

Coincidentally, Lord Xing has also encountered some resistance in the court these days.

In the past, Prime Minister Guo had left him a relatively clean and honest situation, but with his taking office, Marquis Dingping also put in a lot of effort, replacing and forcing the people under him, and now those who have been put in position are not up to the task.

Either they were at odds with him, or they were obeying the orders of Marquis Dingping. At this moment, he realized that he had suffered the disadvantage of not being born and raised in Sui'an City.

Just relying on the fact that his daughter is a royal concubine and his grandson is a prince is not enough to make all the ministers listen to him. On the contrary, Marquis Dingping doesn't seem to talk much on weekdays, but when he makes a move, 30% of the civil and military officials in the court are his family's relatives, so naturally they help each other in a complicated way.

It was actually a bit hard to deal with, so when he heard his wife complaining about this, he felt like he was being attacked from both sides! "The road to becoming an emperor is not that easy. There are thorns everywhere, so we have to be careful everywhere. The seventh prince is at a disadvantage because of his age. It will take at least a dozen years for him to grow up. By then, the eldest prince's children will be able to leave the palace and set up their own homes, so we must prepare early."

"Master, do you mean to send people to the eldest prince's mansion?"

"How can a queen be enough? There is no need to pick someone who has a close relationship with us, so that if there is a problem in the future, they will find trouble with us. Just choose someone who is in the middle, preferably someone with high ambitions, so that you can disrupt the situation."

After hearing his words, Mrs. Xing immediately had an idea. After thinking it over in her mind, she soon found a suitable candidate.

He no longer had the anxiety he had just shown, and instead answered with a smile.

"Master, rest assured. I have a candidate in mind. Not to mention the eldest prince, since all four princes are going to get married, we should send them more gifts. It would be better if only one family is in chaos, and all families should follow suit."

Madam Xing's plan was to not let go of any of the enemies. Lord Xing nodded when he heard this, and followed this line of thought to think about how to break through the obstacles set up by Marquis Dingping in the court. After a moment, he asked.

"Xing Zhao said he was going to join the army, and he's been gone for about half a year. Didn't my third brother's wife choose a house? How's the selection going?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xing looked reluctant and started to speak in a sarcastic tone.

"Master was just saying, has this third sister-in-law forgotten where her home is? This time, she didn't live here, and she asked the General's Mansion and the Du family for help in everything. I don't know how far she has come in choosing a house. The third sister-in-law will not talk to me about these things!"

Lord Xing frowned as he listened to these words, and he also felt that his third brother's wife's behavior was not appropriate, but when he thought that her son still had value that could be used, he endured it and gave instructions to his wife.

"If she doesn't come, you can just go over there. What are you afraid of? No matter what, this aunt is closer to you than your cousin's family. You'd better not get angry with your third brother's wife at this time. I'm still waiting to do something with Xing Zhao."

"What does the master mean?"

"A person from my Xing family cannot remain a soldier forever. Since he has been trained in the army, he can be given a position in the Ministry of War."

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

The first place she came to was the Ministry of War. Madam Xing couldn't help but criticize in her heart. This was an opportunity that many people had been waiting for, but just because Xing Zhao's surname was Xing, her own master had to help him left and right. It really made her feel unhappy.

"Master, please think twice. I have seen with cold eyes that Xing Zhao is not a grateful person. Didn't you say last time that you would introduce him to the daughter of Xun Xinhou's family? Look, he ran away without even meeting her. This time, I am afraid that Master will be disappointed again."

"It's okay. If he doesn't listen to advice, there are people who will. If you can't transfer him, then transfer my third brother to Sui'an City. Anyway, he should have been promoted long ago for what he did in Jinling City. It's only natural to transfer him to the Ministry of War. He may even be given a higher position. By then, the two brothers of our Xing family will join forces, and even the likes of Dingping Hou in the court will not be able to tear us apart easily."

When Lord Xing said this, there was a gleam in his eyes, full of calculation.

Madam Xing was standing next to him, her eyesight wasn't much better either. Master Xing, who was far away in Jinling City, was reading files when he suddenly sneezed several times in succession, which scared the people next to him, who asked hurriedly.

"My lord, are you feeling cold? Would you like me to bring you a cloak?"

"Nothing, my nose just started to itch suddenly."

The man smiled and then spoke.
