MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 592 Hakufujo
In the Han family, it is called Tangtang, which is a family ritual from Cong.
But in the general's mansion, it was also Du Jingyi's honor to call her the general's wife, so Yingtao smiled and invited the two of them into the main room of Xitang Courtyard.
This is rarely used. Usually when guests come, they are entertained in the front hall. Most of the people who come to the backyard are women, so they always go to the inner room.
Hence, when the head of the Han family and his wife came here, they were somewhat unfamiliar with them.
Du Jingyi was sitting at the top. When he saw the Han family walking in, he personally greeted them and greeted them affectionately.
“Uncle Han, Aunt Han.”
“I’ve met the general’s wife.”
The courtesy that should be met is indispensable, and the two Han family members still understand this.
“There’s no need to be formal, just sit down quickly. There are a lot of things going on this year, so why bother you two to go there in person? Isn’t it cold on the road?”
"It's not cold. We were all sitting in the carriages and horses. We came down and entered the General's Mansion. How can it be cold? I should have come here to give New Year's gifts a long time ago, but I was just waiting for the leather from the north to arrive, so I was delayed until now. , There are a lot of good things in the General's Mansion, so we don't know what to give you. The shopkeeper of the Han family's northern land received a batch of snow fox skins this year. I saw that there are no flaws at all, so we hurried I'll bring it to you, if I make it into a big cloak for a few children to wear, it will definitely keep them warm!"
Mrs. Han is also a warm-tempered person, and has been dealing with Du Jingyi for many years, so she is not reserved and talks about it straight away.
Du Jingyi smiled and then said thank you.
“Aunt Han, please take the trouble, the children will definitely like it!”
The head of the Han family didn't say a word. Sitting on the seat, he saw the two incense burners on Du Jingyi's table. The one in the middle was naturally gilded and embedded with pearls, but it was of no use at this time. Instead, there was a white jade burner next to it. The incense burner is made to burn pure incense.
Seeing this, the head of the Han family couldn't help but have some ideas in his mind, but he couldn't be so sure, so he told a story when Du Jingyi asked about Cezhou's business.
"Our business in Cezhou is getting bigger and bigger, and the shopkeepers in Cezhou always come to us with news that several big merchants around there want a share of the pie, including those from Pingzhou, some from Xingzhou, and some Of course there are those in Gyeongju and Bunju, but in business, it is very important to choose the right partner, so I have always been hesitant about whether to expand my business outside. If so, where should I choose? "
Mrs. Han has heard about these things.
So she didn't feel surprised when she heard this from the side.
Du Jingyi saw that the head of the Han family asked this question directly, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Sure enough, she could beat many wealthy families in Sui'an City in the business field. In just a few words, she knew what she wanted to express.
"Uncle Han is my senior in business, so of course you have to decide who you want to cooperate with and where to go. But I see that these are the counties and capitals near Cezhou. Business Well, we still have to choose local officials. If they are good officials who are clear-minded and open-minded, then our business can do well, right?"
“What does the general’s wife mean, is she looking at the prime minister?”
"That's natural. If this official is dedicated to making his people live a good life, he will naturally have a more lenient policy towards our merchants, and he will have more opportunities to get ahead in development, right?"
Hearing this, the head of the Han family finally understood.
Burning incense in the white jade stove, he also had to choose a clear and open-minded official. If he remembered correctly, the official of Binzhou was named Bai, and his last name was Jing. He was indeed a well-known and good official.
Seeing this, the head of the Han family said with a smile and clasped his fists.
"The general's wife has chosen a good path for the Han family's business." "My Du family is also involved in Cezhou's business, and the general has also greeted the local Shao Fucheng, so naturally he will be prosperous. Therefore, Uncle Han must be polite. If he can find a clear path, he will naturally be able to move forward in a big way. However, this new past force will always have to put more thought into it, so it is better to figure it out slowly."
The head of the Han family nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Han listened a little confused, but since her husband and Du Jingyi both nodded, she naturally wanted to join in the fun.
The two of them sat for a while. They were originally supposed to visit their aunt and uncle, but they were both on lunch break, so they didn’t bother.
“In a few days, I’ll ask them to bring some fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs from Zhuangzi, but don’t dislike them.”
“What did Aunt Han say? It’s too late for me to be happy.”
While chatting and laughing, they naturally sent the two of them away.
Du Jingyi watched the head of the Han family leave and felt that his identity should be as hidden as possible. If they wanted to talk about something, they should just say it in such an open and honest manner and not let anyone else notice.
Anyway, these things we are planning now are very early, and we are not afraid of being slow if we do it little by little.
When the first snow fell in Sui'an City, Xing Zhao came back.
In total, it has been a year since he left here, but when he came back, he felt as comfortable as if he had just gone out to hunt for two days.
As soon as he came back, the general's mansion became lively again.
The first thing to bear the brunt was Aunt Xing, who was extremely happy, with tears in her eyes, and said to Xing Zhao.
"You're finally back, kid. You used to go to Shuzhou behind your father's back and never come back, and now you're joining the army. Even your plan to get married was only known to me after Shao Yu sent me a letter from the army. You It’s really good!”
He was about to punch him twice to vent his anger, but Xing Zhao stopped him and said with a playful smile.
"Mom, you should give me some face, so that Miss Xia will see me and think I am a soft-eared person who is afraid of my mother! What if I don't want to get married? Aren't you deprived of a perfect daughter-in-law?"
"You're so talkative! If Meng Niang doesn't like you anymore, then I might as well accept her as my goddaughter. It would be more comfortable to bring a son-in-law to my door than a brat like you!"
The mother and son are joking people, so no one really takes this matter seriously.
Xia Meng stood nearby. As the protagonist of their conversation, he did not say anything. Seeing this, Xing Zhao walked over and said with a smile.
“Mother is just telling you nonsense, don’t take it seriously.”
“No, I’m just thinking that this method is not impossible.”
As soon as her teasing words came out, the eldest aunt and the others laughed, and then she said to Aunt Xing.
"Zhao'er has found someone who can cure him. You can enjoy peace and happiness."
