Chapter 11: Spoiling

But Du Jingyi moved it away without leaving a trace.

With a polite smile on his face, he opened his mouth and said.

 “It’s better to be careful with the things given by the emperor.”

After hearing this, the second elder also nodded excitedly.

At this moment, they are definitely on the same side as Du Jingyi, and naturally they want to put the unhappiness they just felt behind them.

Not to mention anything else, I just said that the ten thousand taels of gold given by the emperor, if I give them some casually, it will be enough to cover the expenses of my large family for many days.

Thinking of this, the third old man’s attitude was really polite this time.

“Liu Lang’s wife, you have to open your eyes to us old men later. There is ten thousand taels of gold. I’m afraid it will take more than ten people to lift the box containing it.”

That greedy face looked particularly ridiculous in Du Jingyi's eyes.

Just now in Yunjin Courtyard, these people were making irresponsible remarks to the couple, but now it was as if it had never happened.

This person is as thick-skinned as ever.

Hence, he pretended not to know, deliberately teasing the third old man and said.

"I'm afraid it won't be able to be lifted by a dozen people. It would take a hundred people at least. This can also show the kindness of the heavenly family, right?"

Hearing this, not to mention the three old masters, but also the uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces nearby couldn't help but start making calculations.

Those people with two houses have no livelihood at all.

In these years, I have just relied on playing in the autumn breeze in the Duke's Mansion, enjoying the money, and taking advantage of the opportunity to collect some filial piety fees from outside to make a living.

Ten thousand taels of gold.

 They were already happy just by listening, so everyone was eagerly waiting for it.

Mrs. Wei stood aside with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, showing a pretentious smile.

She is not just thinking about the superficial reward, so she will not show such greed as the three-bedroom and five-bedroom house.

It's a pity that she can pretend, but the grandchildren in front of her have noses that are not noses and mouths that are not mouths.

Mingming is only about eight or nine years old, but he is cautious.

Especially when looking at people, even if they are much shorter, they still look at people with a dog's eyes and look down on their faces.

  It is so disgusting that people look at it.

 The descendants and grandchildren of Mrs. Gu do not like these two children at all.

Mrs. Wei was still pretending, but the two brothers and sister, who had been instigated by someone, seemed to think that their father should inherit the Duke's family.

Therefore, they had no good feelings towards their uncle Liu who had not returned from the war for three years.

I am even more unhappy with the uncles and grandparents who are surrounding my sixth aunt.

Had it not been for the wrong occasion, I'm afraid harsh words would have come out of his mouth.

 Especially Shang Zhiyin, who has just turned nine.

I have always thought of myself as a noble lady, but I really look down on these people who will kill themselves just for a few taels of silver.

Sister-in-law Liu looked on with cold eyes and said nothing.

It has been ten years since her husband passed away, and there is no outstanding person in her natal family to support her.

 Hence, if you want to raise your son in the back house, you can only immerse yourself in life.

 Fortunately, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Gu, gave most of the dowry to her before she passed away. Otherwise, she would probably have to live in poverty in this house.

She can endure hardship, but she is afraid that her son and unmarried sister-in-law will suffer. Therefore, they do not interfere with these household chores if they can.

 After waiting for a while, Shang Ji, who had given it away, turned back.

The third old lady immediately took a few steps forward, straightened her neck and looked behind him, smiling so much that there were several wrinkles on her face, and she opened her mouth to ask.

  "Liu Lang, why don't you see anyone carrying the box in?"      What she meant, everyone understood.

 Unfortunately, her plan failed.

Shang Ji only glanced at her lightly, and then said something that was a bit deliberately irritating her.

"The warehouse in Xitang Courtyard is too small. It is not enough to store Du's dowry. Not to mention these gifts from the emperor, I have ordered Luo Yuan to send the things to the General's Mansion. The warehouse there is big, so I can build it again. It’s not a big deal to get some rewards after a few battles.”

 One sentence will slap everyone in the face who is waiting for happiness.

Ten thousand taels of gold, they had never even heard of it before, but now they pass by it, how can they not make people grit their teeth.

"you!"

 The fifth old man’s round body suddenly jumped out from behind.

  Nearly knocked down the third old lady, she spoke at the top of her lungs.

"What do you mean? Do you really want to move? There are so many people in our Duke's mansion, and you don't care about them?"

That scoundrel look has really been the same for decades.

Shang Ji was born tall and burly.

The way he looked down at the Fifth Old Master at this moment was like an Arhat in the temple looking down at all living beings.

  Chilling.

"What a joke, my father is still the master of the government in this country. He is still here. Is it my turn to support you in your old age?"

  When the words "retirement and end of life" were uttered, the elderly people in the third and fifth bedrooms blushed and their necks became thick.

 Obviously he was very dissatisfied with Shang Ji's disrespectful behavior.

They did not dare to confront Shang Ji, so they aimed their spears at Shang Yukuan, who had soft ears. They immediately fell asleep and rolled around on the ground.

“Brother, please open your eyes and take a look. If you weren’t here, we two brothers would be bullied to death, you bitch, you don’t care!”

Du Jingyi was not surprised at all by the name "Goudan", but it made Shang Yukuan blush.

This was his nickname when he was in the countryside. Later, after he followed his father into the government of this country, he specifically asked his husband to change his name.

 Yukuan sounds much better than Goudan.

 When the old Duke of Shang was still alive, he would often say his nickname, so that the old man with three and five houses also developed a habit.

  When it comes time to get into trouble and roll around, he yells like a dog egg.

 The purpose is just to make Shang Yukuan remember his past relationship and force him to agree.

Du Jingyi watched quietly.

These people are seeking death and survival every now and then.

She has been married for three years, and she can always hear interesting stories about Beiyuan from time to time.

 But seeing it is better than hearing it a hundred times, but there is something good to see today.

As expected, the fifth old man soon started crying and cursing.

"It's so easy to get through those days of starvation and killing people. When I live to this age, I thought I would have a good life. Who knows... Look at your unfilial son, he is trying to force us to death. .”

 The fifth old lady howled non-stop, and the third old lady was no less willing to give in.

 Hands on his chest as he gestures, and begins to breathe heavily.

 “He is cursing us to death!”

  A sudden death is imminent.

Coupled with the two shameless third and fifth wives, they beat their chests and started crying when their hair was loose.
