MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 499 make arrangements

What the sister-in-law said is true, and Du Jingyi also felt it made sense.

 At the very least, the most important thing is that Yunjinyuan can no longer be the mainstay in the Duke's Mansion, otherwise it will make people like them feel useless.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. When I get back, I'll tell Butler He and Aunt Dou that if nothing happens these days, I'll ask them to come over and help. Everything else is just a small matter. This manpower must be fully prepared, otherwise the huge mansion will There is no life in the butt, it’s terrible to live in.”

"you are right!"

In a few words, the two sisters-in-law arranged everything in the house. Although the Duke's Mansion was in decline, its foundation was still good, so it was not too difficult to turn it around.

 After everything was explained, Gu Shaoyu also took care of things.

Based on Shang Yukuan's current situation, it was impossible to write a divorce letter, so he wrote it himself. After writing it, he pressed the seal with his father's finger, and then had the divorce letter sent to the Ministry of Punishment for filing. .

At this point, how the Wei family will be sentenced to death is all the business of the Wei family and has nothing to do with the Duke's government.

 There were four people on the way here and two people on the way back.

The couple were sitting in the carriage, listening to the still lively streets outside, feeling somewhat empty in their hearts.

"Now that my sister-in-law and Heping'er have left, there will be fewer people in our general's mansion. Fortunately, there are a few children here, otherwise it would be very lonely for us and my wife to live here."

"Don't worry, the four boys are still young now. When they grow up to seven or eight years old and make trouble, you will be annoyed. I'm afraid it is possible that they will lift the roof of the general's mansion."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi gave a rare laugh, and then heard the shouts from the wonton stall outside. Her eyes lit up, she took Gu Shaoyu's hand and said.

“I haven’t had a meal outside since I came back from the fight. Would the general want to have a bowl of wontons with me before we go back?”

Although she was already a mother of four children, Du Jingyi's somewhat coquettish appearance was still so endearing. Gu Shaoyu lightly scratched her nose, then took her hand and got out of the car together. Horse driving.

 Liu Ji’s wonton stall is still as busy as ever.

Although Dan Ruo has learned their family's cooking skills, it is rare to have a bowl of foreign food, and the couple is very satisfied.

 After eating a bowl of hot wontons, I felt that my internal organs were relaxed.

Tingtao handed the handkerchief over to wipe Du Jingyi's mouth, and then took out something like a sugar pill and gave it to her, which made Gu Shaoyu feel a little strange.

"What's this?"

“General, would you like to try it? Danruo made a refreshing pill. Just put one in your mouth and it will melt away in a short while. Even if you eat something with a strong taste, it can cover up a lot.”

Gu Shaoyu had never heard of it, so he was very curious. He took one and tasted it. It was indeed good, so he asked.

“Madam, don’t you plan to sell some of these good things?”

"How can I say that the general understands my concubine? It was not long after Dan Ruocai made it. Now he is planning to sell it through the shops of the Du family and the Han family. However, the price is not cheap, so I'm afraid I can buy it. It also needs to be from a wealthy family."

“In this case, then raise the price and give them a big deal. They have plenty of money anyway, so they don’t care about it. Instead, they consider themselves expensive.”

The couple has a thorough understanding of the thoughts of these wealthy people.

After eating the wontons, they got up and went back to the general's mansion. After the two of them drove away, everyone at Liu Ji's wonton stall took a breath. "Have you heard? The prince of the previous dynasty was hacked to death by General Gu. I heard that his head fell off. Such a person would accompany his wife to eat wontons. It's really... it's really..."

 “What is it really?”

 “It’s true that a drought demon is worshiping a yaksha and seeing a ghost.”

Hearing this, everyone laughed and burst into laughter. However, during the national mourning period, they did not dare to be too presumptuous, so they just laughed and didn't worry about it anymore.

This matter of immortality has nothing to do with the people. As long as the people in power can allow them to live a comfortable and stable life, they don't care about power struggles.

 Back to the General's Mansion, the couple saw Butler He as soon as they entered the door.

So Du Jingyi stopped him and then gave instructions.

"Sister-in-law is very short of manpower. Butler He found the old lady we used before and carefully selected a batch to send over. The money was taken out of the account of the General's Mansion and told Sister-in-law that I would like to congratulate them on regaining control of the Duke's Mansion. Don’t shirk away the congratulatory gift.”

 “Yes, ma’am.”

 How much money his sister-in-law has, Du Jingyi can still get a rough idea of ​​it. He just arranged the engagement for Ping'er two days ago and sent a betrothal gift. Now he probably doesn't have much money left in his hand.

When she first arrived at the Duke's Mansion, she naturally wanted to give her some face. Now she is trying her best to arrange everything she can, so that they can relax.

 Then he said to Butler He.

"Go and tell Aunt Dou that the team of mud and tiles has also been sent over. I don't know how the Dongyuan is being repaired. If there is a shortage, let her pay the debt and fill in the missing ones from here. As for other things in the Duke's Mansion, Let the sister-in-law discuss the changes with him. If there are too many places to be moved, ask him to quote a lower price. The old rule is that the missing parts will be filled by us."

 “Yes, ma’am.”

Du Jingyi has made good arrangements for the two most expensive aspects, manpower and repairs.

Gu Shaoyu was listening nearby and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said.

"Madam, you are really arrogant. If this is an ordinary family, it would be strange for the sisters-in-law to have a lot of trouble. You are good. You have solved so many problems for my sister-in-law and you don't want to take credit. I really want to give you some publicity." With this achievement, everyone in the world will know how generous my wife is!"

Du Jingyi didn't want to wear the high hat, so he replied jokingly.

"A powerful man also needs to have money in his hands. I made a lot of money last year, which was also a gift from the general, so I should give some to help my sister-in-law, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu was a little confused.

"What's the meaning?"

"I calculated last year's harvest and found that Cezhou accounted for 30% of the profits. Uncle Han said he wanted to thank me for helping his family win the title of Royal Merchant, and he gave me a lot of good things with a wave of his hand. Here comes another windfall, so in total, even after spending all this, I still made a small profit."

I see.

Gu Shaoyu didn't understand the dealings and intrigues of this businessman, so he took whatever the wife said was what it was, and these things were obtained legitimately, and no one who knew about them would say anything, so he was also happy.
