My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Not only her, but also Butler He and Aunt Dou, who came to see the mansion together, were also smiling.

This place is hundreds of times better than Dongyuan.

It is bright and transparent, with a sense of great righteousness, and a feeling that no evil can disturb it.

Therefore, Du Jingyi said with a smile.

As expected, it is the General's Mansion given by His Majesty. It looks very comfortable.

But you like it?

Shang Ji asked next to her, but Du Jingyi didn't hide it, looked back and said.

like.

Shang Ji admired her unpretentiousness and outspokenness.

I've seen too many people who like to beat around the bush, and my wife is so direct, and it's even worse for his temper.

Therefore, there was some joy in his eyes.

Then he said.

As long as you like it. Just keep the key to the General's Mansion and look it up and down. If there is anything that needs to be replaced or repaired, you can make your own decision. As for the gold that His Majesty has given you, keep it in the right place. In the courtyard’s warehouse, here is the key, you can get it yourself.”

Shang Ji was not polite and handed a brocade box to Du Jingyi in front of everyone.

What was placed inside was all matters related to the general's palace.

And the meaning is very clear, that is, to hand over this home to Du Jingyi wholeheartedly.

Du Jingyi looked at her husband intently and saw that he was not joking.

So he took it solemnly, and then expressed his stance.

General, don't worry, I will take good care of my family.

Um.

The maids Yingying and Lizhu who were following Du Jingyi both looked overjoyed.

From then on, the person in charge of the inner courtyard of the general's residence was my young lady.

Without the constraints in the Duke's Mansion, they believed that their young lady would be able to manage this home in an orderly manner.

Butler He and Aunt Dou next to them looked at each other, their bodies bent, and they were more respectful than before.

They were not surprised that the young lady Du Jingyi took charge of the family.

But they also knew in their hearts that the general was taking this opportunity to give them a beating.

Ask them to act more carefully in the future.

Only by identifying the owner of the back house can things be done beautifully.

Therefore, the two of them, who were still a little shaky before, settled down and decided to use this matter to officially move Du Jingyi to the position of master of the back house.

After delivering the Central Feeding Matters, Shang Ji still had military affairs to attend to.

So he no longer accompanied Du Jingyi, but left a team of personal guards for her safety, and then left first.

After he left, Du Jingyi did not leave immediately.

Instead, he turned to Butler He and Aunt Dou and said.

I am young, and my mother-in-law's family is not a well-known family, so I don't know much about the affairs of the back house. I never had anyone to teach me, so I still rely on you two for matters concerning the front yard and the back house.

You are all old people used by my mother-in-law. When you were in Dongyuan, you also loyally protected the whole courtyard. So when you come to the general's mansion, you can show your skills even more. Please don't have sex with me. It’s better to have some time off. Let’s work together so that the general can have no worries when he is working for His Majesty outside.”

These words brought tears to the eyes of Butler He and Aunt Dou.

With their previous qualifications in the Duke's Mansion, taking charge of a small Dongyuan is really an underachievement.

But Du Jingyi has never seen any complaints from them in the three years he has been in the government.

Working diligently, the top and bottom management of Dongyuan are united.

If she can bring this trend to the General's Mansion, then she will have a comfortable life in the future.

Therefore, Du Jingyi really meant what he said.

Aunt Dou took a step forward and expressed her stance.

Young lady, don't worry. The slaves and maids are all dedicated. Even if you call any family in Sui'an City, they won't be rude.

That's good.

Afterwards, Du Jingyi took them to play around in the backyard.

The front room is not complicated. You just need to carefully sweep the top and bottom again and add furniture.

So little effort is required.

The backyard, on the other hand, had to be carefully thought out because I had to bring my sister-in-law Liu, my nephew Shang Zhiping, and my eighth sister Xue Niang with me.

The small garden in the southeast corner doesn't look too big at all.

But it makes people feel more open.

Therefore, Du Jingyi made up his mind after walking up and down and back and forth.

Butler He should merge this small garden into the yard next to it, and the two rooms in front of it will be designated as Ping'er's study. It happens to be close to the yard next door, so it will be easier for my sister-in-law to take care of it.

Her impression of Shang Zhiping still remained that he was timid and timid.

It is difficult to change things all at once.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to start with the environment.

People who stay in a cramped place for a long time will appear a little sluggish.

But if everything in front of you is full of vitality and green, no matter who you look at it, you will feel relaxed and happy.

Such a generous arrangement cannot be explained in a simple sentence or two.

Butler He and Aunt Dou looked at each other with admiration.

I thought that the young lady would arrange things in the main courtyard first and then talk about other things, but I didn't expect that the first person she cared about was their eldest young master's child, Shang Zhiping.

Therefore, the two of them also felt emotional.

How could Du Jingyi not know what they were thinking, so he said comfortingly.

Don't be afraid of spending more money. Anyway, the general said that all the rewards can be used, so let's expand this courtyard. Ping'er is not young anymore. In the future, whether he is studying and practicing calligraphy, or practicing boxing with the general, There has to be a place after all, right?

Hearing this, Butler He and Aunt Dou didn't shirk anymore.

He said immediately.

Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely take care of this matter.

That's good.

Several people walked along the corridor and came to another part of the courtyard.

Du Jingyi walked in and took a look. The yard was not big.

There are three rooms in the main house, one on each side.

But the scenery is unique.

There is a maple forest here, which is shining red in autumn at the moment. Just looking at it makes people feel happy.

He said immediately.

Leave this place to my eighth sister. I remember she had maple leaves embroidered on her handkerchief. I think she likes it. She will definitely like it when she sees this scene.

Aunt Dou has a lot of contact with Miss Eight, so she naturally knows some of her preferences.

So he smiled and praised.

Young Madam is really attentive. Miss Eight really likes to see this scene of maple leaves flowing with pills.

That's good.

Then Du Jingyi pointed to an open space next to him and said to Aunt Dou.

I would like to ask grandma to set up a swing here. In the future, when the eighth sister is tired from embroidery, she can have a place to be active.

She arranged everything in an orderly manner, and she didn't look like a woman from a small family at all.
