My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

This wine is much more refreshing than the fine wines I have drunk before. I wonder where Mrs. Gu bought it? I will ask someone to buy some later.

Young master likes this wine, it's a blessing for this wine. But you can't buy it outside. It was made by the cook at home. I'll just have some sent to Fuyue Tower.

In this case, I will take care of Madam.

The two exchanged a few polite words and then got down to business.

I heard that what everyone in the streets and alleys is talking about right now is the matter in the east of the city. Mr. Yan is so talented that he can easily ignite the enthusiasm of this place.

Speaking of this, I would also like to thank the Gu family and the Su family for their help. If it weren't for you, I would still not know where I would be reincarnated as a human being!

After saying that, Yan Zhiqing raised his hand to pick up the wine glass and toasted the two of them.

Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi also drank back, and said in a calm tone with a hint of guilt.

Young Master, don't mention this matter again. In the final analysis, it is our decision that forces you to stay away from your homeland.

Gu Shaoyu's words had a certain meaning. Even if outsiders heard it, they would probably think that Mr. Yan was asked to leave Jinling and come to Cezhou, not anything else.

When Yan Zhiqing heard this, his hands paused.

Then I felt relieved, thinking that my life of more than twenty years combined was not as exciting as these two years, and I felt very emotional.

General Gu also said not to mention the future and the past. Now that I have inherited this name, I should use it to work for Daxing Dynasty. I won't think about anything else.

At this point, the three of them raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. Just as Yan Zhiqing said, there is no need to mention the past again!

By the way, when do you plan to start the construction of the land east of the city? Everyone outside is watching with wide eyes. I'm afraid that the three-year construction period will not be delayed.

Don't worry, I still have one person left to arrive. Once that person arrives, I'll take action immediately!

There was certainty in Yan Zhiqing's words, which made Du Jingyi a little curious.

Do we, my husband and I, recognize the person you are talking about?

Of course I recognize it.

who?

Su Erlang.

Brother-in-law?

As soon as these words came out, Gu Shaoyu, let alone Du Jingyi, was a little surprised. The Su family had never been involved in construction, so even if Su Erlang came, he might not be able to get involved.

Seeing that both of them looked a little confused, Yan Zhiqing smiled.

Brother Su brought back a few blond and blue-eyed people when he went to sea last time. I had some exchanges with them, and I unexpectedly learned that they are quite familiar with the principle of using small things to win big things. If a large amount of manpower is used to build the city, the city will be built. I'm afraid that the Eastern Land will consume too much, but if we can take advantage of this skill, it will be much simpler.

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu quickly reacted.

You mean like a trebuchet?

Exactly, it's just that this Hengli was basically used as a military tool before and was rarely involved in construction. If I can take this opportunity to thoroughly study this process, then no matter whether it is Daxing in the future Any city construction will be faster and better!

After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu's eyes filled with admiration.

In terms of being an emperor, this Qing Yanzhi lacks decisiveness and ruthlessness, so ascending to the throne may not be a good thing. However, he has been instilled with the idea of ​​putting the people in his heart since he was a child, which makes him a little more confident. He has benevolence and righteousness that others do not have, so he will think more about how to benefit the people when doing things.

New 𝗰𝗼𝗺

This is a good thing!

Du Jingyi had never seen a trebuchet in the army, but he still understood the general meaning, so after thinking about it, he felt that this method was very good, so he asked.

When will the brother-in-law arrive?

Brother Su said in his letter that we can arrive in Cezhou in half a month at most!

Half a month is not a long time or a short time, but since the limelight of this place in the east of the city has risen, it is better not to let it disappear.

Thinking of this, she suggested.

Perhaps the name of the place in the east of the city can be changed. Otherwise, if we pay a lot of money to change the name of the place, it can maintain a lot of popularity!

This is a wonderful method. Mrs. Gu is indeed a capable person.

Du Jingyi and Yan Zhiqing hit it off immediately, so they started discussing the matter, and her words reminded Gu Shaoyu of an incident a few days ago.

After the ice and snow melted, every household in Cezhou City became alive.

Although there are not many officials in Cezhou, they cannot handle the gathering of merchants, so the ladies in the city love to hold banquets.

Sometimes it's the host of this house, and sometimes it's the outing of that house. It's very lively, but there is one thing. Wherever there is a table, there must be Du Jingyi.

Posts came in an endless stream, and Du Jingyi also took the trouble to go to the banquet. Every time he went there, he did not go alone. Most of the time, he would bring his two nieces, Jin'er and Nianjin, with him. Sometimes if they were aunts and sisters, they would also want to go out. , then go together.

Therefore, people are saying that although she is a general's wife with a high position, she has no airs and is a noble person that everyone wants to flatter.

At first, Gu Shaoyu felt strange. In the past, the number of seats in Sui'an City was three times more than here. She basically pushed him over and over again. Why did she fall in love with banquets when she came to Cezhou? ?

Now it seems that it is probably still a matter of building momentum for the land east of the city.

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyu looked at the lady in front of him with admiration. Her raised eyebrows and gentle temperament were always so appropriate when she spoke. It made him fall deeply into it if he looked at her for a while.

After Yan Zhiqing and Du Jingyi agreed, he glanced at Gu Shaoyu by mistake.

Yan Zhiqing has seen General Gu's heroic, resolute, serious and ruthless appearance before, but he has never seen him be so gentle and affectionate today.

Yan Zhiqing somewhat understood when he thought that he and Mrs. Gu had been married for more than ten years and there was no such thing as a concubine in the backyard.

Some people are born to be fascinated.

For example, the Mrs. Gu in front of her was awakened by the frightened look in Gu Shaoyu's eyes just as soon as she had the idea, and then she immediately dismissed the little thought in her mind without a trace.

When he looked at Du Jingyi again, he had no other thoughts except appreciation and admiration for his friend.

Only then did Gu Shaoyu feel relieved.

He thought that after all, it would be better for his wife to have less contact with outsiders. Otherwise, everything about her from top to bottom would be a source of endless imagination. Then he would have nothing to do in the following days and would just stay with his wife. Just swat the flies around you!

It's a pity that Du Jingyi didn't notice the twists and turns in his belly. Otherwise, I'm afraid tonight will be another sleepless night!
