My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 153 Xiuxin Mansion

Therefore, the more you think about it, the more you treat it with your heart.

In the afternoon of that day, I asked Grandma Jiao to inquire about this mud and tile team.

By coincidence, I found out about the team that had just finished repairing the General's Mansion.

Speaking of this clay team, they are also very particular in Sui'an City.

It doesn’t mean that ordinary people can just form a group and go around to pick up jobs, but it is necessary to have good craftsmen and have a reputation outside.

Therefore, the team that repaired the General's Mansion for Du Jingyi was the best choice.

However, Mrs. Wei was a little reluctant and always felt uncomfortable.

She wanted to build up the Duke's mansion in a big way, and the culprit in it was Du Jingyi. If she hadn't set the fire, why would she have wasted so much money.

Therefore, Mrs. Wei does not want to use anything that has anything to do with her.

However, this team has a good reputation, and the price quoted is 10% less than other companies.

Being able to achieve the best repairs at a relatively advantageous price was very tempting to Mrs. Wei.

Don't look at this profit, it doesn't sound like much, but if the total price is high, it can be tens of thousands of taels of silver.

With this money, she can buy more things.

Even if it doesn't move, it is good to leave it to the children in the future.

So after struggling for several days, Mrs. Wei finally nodded and agreed to let this masonry team do the repairs.

However, they had too many courtyards and landscapes to repair this time, so it had to take at least two or three more years.

Simply speaking, Shang Qilang is still studying in the academy, and his grandchildren have not yet reached the age of needing an independent courtyard.

So, the whole family can wait.

After the news spread that the Duke's Mansion was going to be renovated, Prince Fu's Mansion knew the rules and hurriedly sent two hundred thousand taels of silver.

This amount of money is not a small sum for the Duke's government.

But for King Fu, it is not a big amount.

Aunt Shang personally brought the money to the door, made a lot of promises, and shouldered a lot of mistakes for her son.

Moreover, she had been very kind to Shang Zhi and her nephew in the past, so the feud between the two families was officially resolved.

Otherwise, every time Shiro's wife mentioned Prince Fu's Mansion, she would gnash her teeth in hatred.

If you have money, it will be easier to start work.

We choose the best materials and the most experienced craftsmen.

They measured first and then drew pictures, down to the details of how to arrange the flowers, plants and trees in each yard, the masonry team drew them all.

When the drawings were delivered to Mrs. Wei, she became more and more satisfied with them.

Now I feel that my decision was really wise.

So I told Grandma Jiao and asked her to make arrangements.

In order not to affect the normal life of Yunjin Courtyard and Xiyuan, a wall was built and a small door was opened on the road near Dongyuan and Beiyuan.

The door was locked heavily with a big lock. For ten days and a half, Aunt Jiao would go over to check on the progress.

The rest of the time, it is closed, and nothing unpleasant can be said.

In this way, the new house began to be renovated lively in the Duke's Mansion.

On the other side, everyone in the General's Mansion has already enjoyed the beauty of this new house.

The layout of the greenhouse in Xitang Courtyard is no different from an ordinary house, but only when you are in it do you realize how comfortable it is.

Mrs. Xing sat on the round nanmu chair in the greenhouse and said with great emotion.

This house is still very comfortable, just like staying in our Jinling City. It is not dry and cracked in the winter, and you can also enjoy the flowers. Your idea is really clever.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Liu, the sister-in-law next to her, couldn't help but nod in agreement.

At first, she thought it was a waste to spend so much money just to build such a house.

Now that I'm used to it, I don't even want to go out anymore, so I smiled and said yes.

Otherwise, the sixth brother and sister have a lot of ideas. Xue Niang complained before, saying that in winter, the hands of female celebrities are very stiff. Now that the embroidery frame has been moved to the greenhouse in her yard, I think it is better than in summer. When it’s hot, you have to be more diligent.”

For example, the three of them were joking and chatting here, but Xue Niang did not participate.

Instead, I was concentrating on embroidery.

Hearing this, Mrs.

It's strange that no matter how bad the wind and snow are, Liu Lang will come back in three or two days. The food is delicious, the house is warm, and he has a beloved wife who is worried about him, and a child who is about to be born. Tsk tsk, if I were him, I would be afraid that the General's Mansion I can’t even get out of the door.”

With Mrs. Xing here, there is always laughter and laughter in the general's mansion.

Obviously she is older and the two are better off, but for some reason, Du Jingyi doesn't think she is an elder, but feels more intimate with her.

When he heard her teasing him, he smiled and said.

I guess my uncle thinks so too, otherwise he wouldn't send letters every half month to remind me. How many letters is this already? Auntie~

Stinky girl, you also arrange for me.

Mrs. Xing and her husband are both well-matched and have a true love for each other.

So we have been very comfortable together for so many years.

It has been more than two months since I went north this time, and I will stay for another two months. It is no wonder that Mr. Xing, who is far away in Jinling City, wrote to urge me.

Du Jingyi would think of a sentence every time he saw Mr. Xing sending another letter.

The flowers are blooming on the street, and Madam can return home slowly.

It's a good thing that my uncle and his aunt have a deep love for each other, but I see that cousin Zhao is getting older and it's time to get married. I wonder if my aunt is interested in him?

Sister-in-law Liu is now broad-minded and fat.

Ping'er followed Xing Zhao to pick up someone outside, so she couldn't worry about it.

Xue Niang works hard day and night, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

Du Jingyi was only more than three months pregnant, and it was still early before giving birth. Even if she had the intention, she could not do anything.

So she focused on Xing Zhao's marriage. This is probably where she feels she has the best potential, so she spoke like this.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing was frowning.

I feel troubled when I talk about this. I don't know what's wrong with this kid. When he was in Jinling City, he saw a dozen young ladies from different houses, but he didn't like any of them.

When I came to Sui'an City this time, the Queen actually asked me privately and said that she showed him a few good ones, but he didn't like them either.

I really don't know if he wants to marry a fairy or if he wants to stay like this for the rest of his life. I don't know what to say.

When my sister-in-law Liu heard this, she felt that there was something she could do.

So he spoke.

Anyway, when grandma and the others arrive in a few days, there will also be a housewarming banquet in this mansion. Why don't you let Liu Lang and his siblings spread more posts, and all the young masters and young ladies in the family can come, so that Cousin Zhao can be a good friend. Look, it’s not too abrupt.”

That's a good idea. Don't forget about Xiaoba. She and Ji don't have many days left. I'll look at a few more houses now, and I'll have to think about it again when the time comes.

Don't worry, aunt, there are so many pairs of eyes watching us, we will definitely choose a good marriage for Xue Niang!
