Raising husband in Zhai Douwen

Yang Jiming didn't know what to say, could it be that his grandfather wanted to push his uncle out to top the vat?

"Grandpa means that Uncle was designed by someone to do something that shouldn't be done. Then dare to ask Grandpa, what did Uncle do?"

Old Mrs. Du sighed heavily, and said bitterly, "Collude with the magistrate and deceive the superior and the inferior."

"Collude with the magistrate, I know what it means. To deceive the superior and the inferior, what kind of deception is it?"

Old Mrs. Du couldn't help being stunned, and looked at him in astonishment.

After a long time, Mrs. Du smiled and said: "Your mother said in the letter that you have become well-behaved and sensible since you got married, and you have worked hard to make progress after you got married. Grandpa knew that you will definitely be able to stand out and have an unlimited future."

Yang Jiming twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and continued to ask: "Grandpa hasn't told me yet, how can you deceive me?"

"Impose taxes and monopolize lawsuits."

"Uncle is just a businessman. Where did he come from so bold? What's more, he is the eldest son of grandpa, and he will inherit the family business in the future. Why take such a big risk?"

"That's why I said that he fell into someone else's trap."

"If it's for family property, the other three uncles will be suspected first. However, with such a big crime, the entire Du family will be affected by a little carelessness. How can the uncles lose a lot because of a small one?"

"You four uncles combined are not as good as your mother alone."

Yang Jiming raised a sneer and said, "Grandpa's words have minimized the responsibility of the Du family. If you ask me, my aunt and the four uncles combined are not worth half of my grandfather."

Old Master Du laughed a few times, "I have the demeanor of my youth, dare to think, speak, and do."

Yang Jiming said: "Grandpa, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you on purpose, but if Grandpa doesn't tell me the truth, it will only make things more difficult for me."

Old Mrs. Du sighed and leaned back on the chair, looking a little tired.

He said: "I'm just a businessman. I have worked hard for most of my life and earned some family business. Compared with the big families in the capital, these extraneous things are insignificant at all. However, it is also these things that have carried my whole life's blood and sweat."

"Grandpa is finally willing to tell me the truth." Yang Jiming put away his arrogant expression, and he was tired of pretending.

Old Mrs. Du shook his head and laughed, pointed at him, as if he wanted to say something to him, but in the end he just smiled.

At this moment, the grandfather and grandson can finally sit down and speak openly.

Mrs. Du said: "In the beginning, when the government built bridges and paved roads, I only supplied rice grains. The price the government gave me was higher than the market price, and I gave them kickbacks. Later, more and more places cooperated with the government, and the more courageous I became. It's getting bigger."

"You have to pay back when you come out to hang out."

"I received news that the imperial court has sent imperial envoys to Suzhou. Unlike the previous imperial envoys, this time the imperial envoys cannot be bribed."

"It is indeed a master who will not eat hard."

Yang Jiming said in his heart: Master Xu will be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment when he returns to Beijing after finishing this errand, of course you can't bribe him.No, I couldn't buy it in the first place.

"Is it Master Xu Yihuan from Shuntian Mansion?"

"Grandpa doesn't need to test me, we are a family."

Old Mrs. Du nodded, then sat up straight and leaned forward slightly, and said, "Third young master, you are the young master of the Hou family, the son-in-law of Master Shangshu, grandpa begs you, help the Du family save some blood."

"Grandpa, tell me the truth, is anyone killed?"

"No."

Yang Jiming stared at him intently, and in the end he lost to Lao Jiang Lai, losing first in his eyes.

"Grandpa, if it's not involved in a human life lawsuit, it's not the worst thing, and we can't reach that point."

"What's your idea?"

"Abandon the car to protect the handsome."

When Yang Jiming came out of the study, the moon was already very bright.

Holding the lantern, Huai An said, "Master, Young Madam asked me to come."

Yang Jiming couldn't help sighing softly: "I kept him waiting for a long time, let's go back quickly."

After all, he strode forward.

Huai An followed quickly, trotting a few steps from time to time, and paying attention to the candlelight in the lantern.

Shang Jiayan was sitting in front of the candlestick and reading a book, he looked up when he heard footsteps, and finally smiled.

He put down the book and walked over to help Yang Jiming take off his coat and put it on the hanger.

The servants came in with hot water, and then all retreated.

Yang Jiming went to wash up behind the screen, and Shang Jiayan sat on the bed with his clothes on and continued to read.

After Yang Jiming washed up, he wrapped himself in a big towel and walked out from behind the screen.

Shang Jiayan stared at him in a daze, and looked away under Yang Jiming's smiling eyes, his face flushed.

Yang Jiming climbed onto the bed and put the book in his hand aside, "Reading at night hurts your eyes, why don't you do something meaningful."

Shang Jiayan seriously suspected that he did not put on his clothes on purpose, "Blow out the candles first."

"Let's keep it for tonight." Yang Jiming pushed him on the bed and looked down at him.

Shang Jiayan saw liking and concentration in his eyes, and gave a soft "hmm" as if bewitched.

The next day, Huai'an claimed that he didn't wake up, and Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan got up late again.

Lying in Yang Jiming's arms, Shang Jiayan said insincerely, "You still have work to do, get up and go to work."

"Had an open and honest conversation with my grandfather last night and he admitted what he did."

"What?!" Shang Jiayan looked at him in shock, "Could it be to drag you into the water?"

Yang Jiming kissed him on the forehead, "Don't worry."

"What did grandpa say?"

"He said he hoped to preserve a little blood for the Du family."

"What about you?"

"Abandon the car to protect the handsome."

"Have an idea?"

"We need to investigate the members of the Du family."

Shang Jiayan pursed his lips and reminded: "These are all relatives."

"I know." Yang Jiming snorted softly, "Grandpa said that uncle was framed, I don't believe that grandpa would push his eldest son out for no reason."

"This is a conspiracy theory." Shang Jiayan poked his chest with a smile.

"Grandpa is a big businessman with such a big business, no matter how you think about it, he shouldn't be a simple person. He confessed so quickly without struggling, how can I believe it?"

"It's all empty talk." Shang Jiayan reminded.

"Yes, even if I want to expose him, I have no evidence. On the contrary, I let down my vigilance because of this, and I can't help thinking about him and the Du family."

"Anyway, the Du family is my aunt's family."

"If it wasn't so, how could I say this is a bad job? Now I can only pray that my grandfather is not involved in the life lawsuit. In this way, maybe there is still a possibility of ruining the fortune."

Shang Jia said in his heart: Fourth Uncle and Yang Chen have already been involved in the case of Uncle Qi's family.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help hugging Yang Jiming, rubbing his arms in distress.

Feeling his comfort, Yang Jiming said with a smile, "We just need to wait for Master Xu to arrive. I don't believe that no one will show their feet."

When he said this, his eyes were full of confidence.

Shang Jiayan slightly raised the corner of his mouth, he liked to see Yang Jiming full of confidence and fighting spirit.

Huai An knocked on the door outside and said, "Young Master, Young Madam, Miss Baiping is here."

"Someone should have come to see my aunt, and my aunt told us to go too." Shang Jiayan said as he got up, "Hurry up and get up too."

Yang Jiming got up and dressed, then opened the door for Huai An and the others to come in and wash up.

Ziyu directed the little maids to prepare meals, and Baiping stepped forward to help.

Ziyu hurriedly said: "Big sister Bai Ping let us come, how dare you bother my sister?"

Bai Ping smiled and said, "It's a blessing to be able to serve the third young master and the third young lady. On the aunt's side, she is talking with uncles, wives, cousins, and other maidservants in the main room, so I don't need to serve you for now."

Shang Jiayan walked over and asked, "Are the four wives here?"

Bai Ping replied: "They're all here, and the cousins ​​are also there. The cousins ​​of the Du family are all so beautiful. No wonder many people say that the south of the Yangtze River nourishes people with water and soil."

Shang Jiayan could understand her voice, and gave her a thankful look.

Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan sat down at the dining table, drank a glass of warm water, then ate a soup dumpling and a piece of fried rice, and ate a few mouthfuls of toppings.

Shang Jiayan also ate a soup dumpling and drank half a bowl of tofu soup.

He looked at Yang Jiming in surprise, "Why did you eat less than usual today?"

"Save some stomach, I'll take you out for dinner later."

Shang Jiayan glanced at Bai Ping pointingly, "Go to Auntie's first."

Bai Ping said with a smile: "Auntie just asked me to see what the third young master and the third young lady are doing." Although the meaning was to invite them to come over, she didn't say it clearly.

Shang Jiayan said with a shallow smile: "Go to see my aunt first, and then go out for dinner."

"Okay." In these matters, Yang Jiming has always been what Shang Jiayan said.

As soon as Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan entered the main room, everyone's eyes turned to them.

After greeting each other, Yang Jiming said: "My aunt is talking to my aunt and cousins. We are inconvenient here, so we will leave first."

Aunt Du said, "Okay."

Yang Jiming left with Shang Jiayan, leaving no chance for the wives and ladies of the Du family to say anything to him.

Shang Jiayan gave him a cool sideways look, "Those aunts look at you as if they want to eat you up."

Yang Jiming chuckled and put his arms on his shoulders, "Don't worry, my piece of meat is too fat, they won't be able to digest it."

Shang Jiayan said with disgust on his face, "Yes, it's too fat, and I can't digest it."

"Anyway, I'm already yours, so you have to bear it if you don't digest it."

Shang Jiayan reached out and tapped his forehead, "I think your skin is itchy."

Yang Jiming grabbed his hand and kissed it on his lips.

Shang Jiayan blushed and withdrew his hand, whispered: "Be careful outside." "No one is watching." How is that possible?He purposely wanted to be seen, lest anyone who didn't want to pester him.

Yang Jiming glanced around, Hou Li and the passing servants lowered their heads very low.

Shang Jiayan puffed his cheeks, "Let's go, aren't you going to take me out for dinner?"

"Yeah." Yang Jiming took his hand and walked out.

Not long after, the scene and words just now spread throughout the Du residence.

Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan came to Qi Dali's house.

This morning, Qi Dali and Zhang Qu bought a lot of vegetables and waited for them to come.

Qi Dali was in charge of the spoon, Zhang Qu was in charge, and he cooked a table full of good dishes to thank them.

Shang Jiayan glanced at the two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, and asked Huai An and Lin Yaohui who were accompanying him to sit down and eat together.

Qi Dali asked Zhang Qu to bring four more sets of bowls and chopsticks, and everyone sat down together.

Yang Jiming ate with relish, "This is much more delicious than what we eat these days."

Zhang Qu said: "The cooks in the Du Mansion learned their skills from my master."

Yang Jiming paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "Uncle Qi's craftsmanship is too good."

Qi Dali looked at them lovingly, "Eat more if you like."

"Yeah," Yang Jiming nodded, "Uncle Qi eats too."

Qi vigorously smiled and moved his chopsticks.

Zhang Qu secretly wiped away his tears. This was the day his master laughed the most since the incident happened at the master's house.

After the meal, Huai'an helped clean up the dishes.

Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan talked with Qi Dali for a while before leaving.

After leaving Qi Dali's house, Lin Yaohui frowned and said: "In my opinion, it's a waste of time for the third young master and the third young lady to come here. Uncle Qi won't talk about it."

Yang Jiming smiled softly: "If he doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean that others can bear it."

"Master, what do you mean?"

"You find someone to secretly protect Uncle Qi, spend more money and find some reliable ones."

"it is good."

Huai An was very sensible and took out his pocket.Lin Yaohui took the money from Huai An and went to do it immediately.

Shang Jiayan deliberately teased him: "I'll keep this money in your account."

All the money earned by the wine shop is directly handed over to Shang Jiayan, without going through Yang Jiming's hands.Therefore, Yang Jiming only had very little pocket money in his hand.

Yang Jiming smiled shyly and said, "When Mr. Xu comes, I'll ask him to reimburse you."

Shang Jiayan laughed and said, "Excellent."
