MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 259 good news

Everyone looked at the back of Shang Qilang as he entered, and stood there for a while before leaving.

As he was leaving, Shang Yukuan saw the Du family standing more than ten meters to his right.

At the moment, he was enthusiastic and hurried over to say hello. However, Mrs. Wei and others stood there with gloomy expressions and did not come over.

"What a coincidence. My parents-in-law are here too. Are they here to see off my relatives?"

With the opening of the Duke Shang Yukuan's words, the Du family and his wife discovered his presence. They were all about to leave, but now they could only stand still.

“My lord, my son-in-law is a civil servant, so he also participated in this spring ceremony.”

"Oh I got it."

 Then, Mr. Du glanced at Mrs. Wei and others not far away. He quickly understood and said with a smile.

"I heard my little girl mention that Qi Lang in the mansion is also a capable person. It seems that he is here to take part in the scientific examination this time."

“My father-in-law is right, it is Qilang who is here this time.”

“You can be so powerful at such a young age, you are a good son of our Daxing Dynasty.”

Mr. Du's words were not sincere. They were just words for the occasion. However, the Duke of the State, Shang Yukuan, could not hear them and still laughed happily.

Seeing this, Mr. Du didn't want to say anything more to him, and then he left with the two elders of the He family and Du Jingxiang on the pretext that he had something to do at home.

 When he left, he didn’t even say hello to Mrs. Wei.

Even though they are in-laws, it is just a shout-out for the sake of appearance. They are not on the same level of intimacy as the two elders of the He family sitting next to them.

On the way back, the Du family's carriage was divided into two cars. The Du family and their daughter Du Jingxiang rode in one car, while the two elders of the He family rode in another car.

The people sitting inside were all members of her own family, so Mrs. Du did not hide her emotions and sneered and said mockingly.

"The Duke of Guo, who is made of dough, really looks like he is getting worse every day. His daughter was not there when she was hired, and she was busy attending some kind of spring banquet for Lao Shizi. Fortunately, he could think of it. Sure enough, there is something wrong with this. After marrying the stepmother, he becomes the stepfather, and it’s hard for those children in Dongyuan to suffer injustice in the Duke’s mansion for many years.”

Mr. Du nodded after hearing this. In his eyes, even the King of Heaven is not as important as his two daughters, so he cannot understand what the Duke of the country did.

Du Jingxiang had never met the Duke of Guo, so he couldn't say anything more. He only asked out of curiosity.

"Aren't you afraid that the children of the General's Mansion will be separated from him?"

The Du family and his wife looked at each other and showed a little ridicule. I'm afraid it's not just one thing that can separate their lives. It must have accumulated over time.

"Haven't you seen it yet? People are placing all their treasures on the one in the Gongyuan. However, Qilang of this businessman does have some real abilities. He has such a reputation at such a young age. Given time, I'm afraid he will People in the DPRK are also able to stand firm.”

Mrs. Du analyzed and said, but Du Jingxiang was obviously not interested in these, so he diverted the topic to other places.

“After my husband finishes his exam, Brother Yun’s 100-day banquet can be held. It will be a good idea to invite Tangtang and the others to have a fun time.”

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Du and Mr. Du looked at each other with some regret in their eyes.

If the younger daughter Du Jingyi was present, she would definitely have to analyze it more with them, but the eldest daughter is not sensitive to this.

But that’s fine, the little fairy has nothing to do. The only way she can live a comfortable life is to care about what these troublemakers do. Thinking of this, the two of them felt relieved.

The Du family's carriage and the carriage of the Duke's Mansion parted ways and headed in different directions. The Du family would gossip about the Duke's Mansion behind their backs, and Mrs. Wei and others would not be idle either.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said as soon as they sang in harmony.

"The Du family has gained the glory of the General's Palace, and even the eldest son-in-law has gained face in front of the nobles in the circle. I heard that the He family can say a few words in front of the prince. If he can also go to high school this time , I think my luck will not be bad."

Mrs. Wei's words were originally meant for the Duke of Guo and Shiro, but both father and son were ignorant and did not respond a word, which made her embarrassed.

Seeing this, Shiro's wife added another sentence.

"No matter how talented he is, he can't compare to our seventh brother. He is the son of the Duke of the State, the grandson of the Taiwei Palace, and the younger brother of Princess Fu. Such an identity is something he can only compare to. Mother-in-law, you should not put your mind on this. While we wait for the little guy, we might as well think about how to organize this celebration banquet."

 Hearing this, Mrs. Wei felt much relieved.

　　"You are still considerate and you are right. Let's see how to entertain when we get back."

 “Yes, mother-in-law.”

Each family speaks its own words, and each family has its own plans.

Chunwei's good news has not been concluded yet, but Du Jingyi was the first to get the news that made her breathe a sigh of relief.

That is the livelihood problem of the people in Cezhou that Shang Ji told her before. There are ways to alleviate it.

Sitting opposite her in Xitang Courtyard was the Du family and his wife.

Mr. Du's expression was still smiling as always, and he had almost investigated all the things Du Jingyi asked her to investigate a few days ago.

"The seeds of melon and cabernet sauvignon have been found. My father asked people to find a piece of land in Cezhou to sow them. After a few months, we will know the results? But with your uncle Han's family here , I must be 70-80% sure.”

 The business of the Han family is larger than that of the Du family, especially since their family is involved in the grain industry, so they have many good hands in farming.

Although this kind of food is a little different from growing fruits and vegetables, it is still a matter of taking care of the land, so it requires a bit more ability than others.

With them in the mix, Du Jingyi felt a lot more at ease.

“Thank you for your hard work, Dad and Uncle Han. If this can be done, not only will the livelihood problems of the people in Cezhou be solved, but it will also be much easier to attract merchants to establish themselves in the future.”

Hearing this, the Du family and his wife did not refute.

 They knew quite a bit about what Du Jingyi wanted to do, so Mrs. Du said something quite shrewdly.

“Your Aunt Han and I sent people over to take over 40 to 50% of the shops in good locations in Cezhou City. By then, if Cezhou becomes bigger and stronger, we will be able to double our value accordingly.”

Neither of the two families are vegetarians, so planning for the shop started long before Du Jingyi sent the news.

It is not necessary to act in the name of Han and Du, as long as they are the two who hold the most power.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi acted like a spoiled child and hurriedly said to Mrs. Du.
