1.70 Everything is ready, please look forward to marrying
The eldest lady returned to the Yang Mansion. When she entered the house, she asked the maid to boil some decoction to soothe her nerves and drink it. After resting for a while, her mood gradually stabilized. As the saying goes, one learns from every experience. What happened to the eldest lady after this incident.
, no longer dared to play any tricks on Yu Lan's marriage, and made up his mind to avoid any place where Ye Yichen was in the future.
Thinking about it, there is probably no mother-in-law like me in this world, and it is a wonder that she is so afraid of her son-in-law.
After taking a short rest, the eldest lady went to the meeting hall and ordered the accountant to discard the original dowry list and pull out a new one. Not a penny of the one hundred thousand silver from the prince's betrothal gift was kept as dowry to Yu.
Lan took it back, picked up some good shops and dealers, and jewelry materials, and collected an additional share of about 20,000 taels, and that was all.
The accountants were surrounded by orders, and they were even more puzzled by the eldest lady's daily changes. However, they did whatever the master told them to do, and no one dared to ask any unnecessary questions.
By the time it was sorted out, it was already the second watch. The eldest lady wanted to go back to the old lady quickly and send the dowry list to Yulan, but now this list was like a hot potato in her hand.
.
Early the next morning, the eldest lady took the dowry list and went to Songhe Hall. The old lady looked at the list this time and looked at her strangely: "Why has this list been changed again?"
The eldest lady had thought of an excuse before she came, and said: "I originally wanted to accompany you to send some more property, but yesterday a manager from outside came back to me. It is very troublesome to buy these things. I can't buy so many at the same time."
, I thought it would be better to give the money more benefit."
The old lady glanced at her and said: "That's fine. When they get to the palace in the future, what the young couple wants to buy can only be decided according to their own wishes. This will save us from having to complain if she is dissatisfied in the future.
.With this money at her side, Girl Lan can live her life easily, and I feel relieved."
The eldest wife thought to herself: This is more than enough. Among the many daughters of the Yang family, including the Crown Princess Yuxin, no one can match Yulan’s dowry. Who asked anyone to find a husband who loves her?
!
The old lady is also a shrewd person. Seeing that the eldest lady changed her mind so quickly and changed the dowry list beyond recognition, she knew that there was something going on here, but since the eldest lady didn't want to say it, she didn't bother to ask. As long as she reached her
Just get the desired result.
The eldest lady flattered the old lady a few words, then changed the subject and said: "Mom, seeing that the seventh girl is going to marry into the prince's palace, I thought, just to fill in the house, Prince Jin is different from others after all, and her identity is also
It's a bit lighter. It's better to open an ancestral hall and record her in my name. She has become the legitimate daughter of the Yang family, so she can live a good life among the sisters-in-law of the clan! I don't know what you want, old lady!
"
The old lady couldn't help but be startled after hearing this. She could understand that the eldest lady was willing to compromise on Yulan's dowry, but she was afraid that the eldest daughter-in-law, who was a little confused, had hit a wall somewhere, but she willingly offered to write down the concubine.
It's really novel to become a legitimate daughter in one's name.
The old lady couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Are you really willing?"
The eldest lady swore and swore: "Look what mother said. I am not doing it for Qi Yatou. She is also a big help to our family by establishing a foothold in the palace. How could I not even think of such a thing?"
The old lady said happily: "It's best if you think so. If you have this knowledge, it won't be in vain for all my teachings to you!" The eldest lady thought to herself: It really has nothing to do with you. I am short of holding people.
He also had Prince Jin’s thirty thousand taels of silver in his hand. Not to mention his temper, how dare I not do what he told me.
The old lady has already said: "Before the wedding date has been set, quickly choose an auspicious day to get it done!"
The eldest wife also said: "My wife thinks so too!"
The eldest lady discussed with the old lady for a few more words, and then personally took Mother Wu to Lvjingzhai. The reception and send-off in Yulan's courtyard has been very lively these days. Yulan is carefully entertaining the fourth girl Yu in the house.
Fei. Yufei has an eight-month-old belly. She was originally
She should be waiting at home for delivery. But I heard that Yulan was going to marry a prince this time, and she was about to fly to a branch and become a phoenix. How could she stay at home? The Niu family was also very concerned about fame and fortune.
I encouraged her to come over and have a look. Yufei came here early today.
When Yufei arrived at Green Jingzhai, Yulan was also shocked: "My fourth sister is not at home to have a baby, why are you here? Sit down quickly." She hurriedly asked the maid to bring a large and comfortable arm chair.
He also asked someone to bring a big pillow to cushion her back so that she could sit comfortably.
Yu Fei took a lot of effort to sit down on the chair and said with a smile: "Seventh sister has found such a good family and is about to get married. As a sister, I have to come over to see you and give you a gift."
Cheng is the one." There was a hint of envy in his tone, and he turned around and called the girl behind him: "Cuizhu, quickly bring that gift box!"
Yulan said: "They are all my sisters. Fourth sister, you are so polite." Xiaoyue took the box and opened it, only to see inside was a set of red gold and ruby heads, as well as several pieces of high-quality materials. Yu Lan said.
Fei said: "My house cannot be compared with the prince's house. I don't have anything good for my sister. Please don't dislike me."
In these days of ancient times, Yulan's eyesight has been trained very well. It's just a matter of seeing the material, but the face is made of pure gold, and the gems inlaid on it are all the size of pigeon eggs. They are worth a lot of money at a glance. Although
Yu Lan doesn't take this too seriously now, but she knows that Yu Fei's dowry is not rich, and the Niu family is not a wealthy family, so giving such a gift is considered a big deal.
Yulan said: "Fourth sister, this is too precious for you! We are all direct sisters, so it is better to do things within our ability to add makeup. Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is light and affectionate! It is better for my sister to come to see me than to send a gift of goose feathers.
Everything is good. Look at how good this is, I will accept these pieces of material. Sister, you might as well take this mask back home."
Yulan was also kind-hearted, but Yufei said anxiously: "I brought the belt with me, there is no reason to take it back. If the seventh sister doesn't accept it, she will be looking down on me!"
Speaking of this, Yulan had no choice but to accept it. She thought that she would just double the gift in the future. So she asked Xiaoyue to accept it and put it in another special room. During this time, everyone rushed over.
Thanks to Yu Lan, half of the room was filled just by receiving the gifts.
Seeing her accepting the gift, Yu Fei became happy and started chatting with her despite her big belly. Her words were full of flattery. Yu Lan was already worried about her belly, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Ping Kong asked Xiaoyue to invite Miss Ninth over to ease the atmosphere.
As soon as the ninth girl arrived, the eldest lady came. Yulan took Yuqing to the door to greet her. Yufei also struggled to get up, but was held down by Yulan: "You have a good rest and don't get up again.
Mother will not blame you when she sees you like this."
Yulan and Yuqing chatted and laughed and welcomed the eldest lady into the house. Yufei came over and naturally met the eldest lady first. However, when the eldest lady saw her, she couldn't help but frowned. She was still out and about after this month.
, I really don’t know how to live or die. This Niu family is too eager for quick success. Before Yulan was not sure about marrying the prince, why didn’t Yufei come to see his biological sister? Now that he has married well, did he think of cramming his feet?
What is it!
Seeing Yu Fei struggling to stand up, the eldest lady quickly said: "Sit down, sit still! Now is not the time for those false etiquette."
Yulan let the eldest wife take the lead, and he and Yuqing sat on the left and right. The eldest wife still had to do her best to show off, so she first symbolically asked about Yufei's situation, "Are you feeling well?
When will the baby be born?" and so on.
Yu Fei answered her questions respectfully, but the eldest lady didn't take it to heart at all. She turned to Yu Lan and said, "I came to see you today, but I have two things to discuss with you."
Yulan's attitude was elegant and calm: "If you need anything, just ask me!" At this time, the three sisters were present. Yulan wore a silver-red trousers embroidered with butterflies and a primrose-colored skirt. Not only did her appearance easily outshine the rest,
The two sisters, with their dignified and elegant demeanor, were a few steps ahead of Yufei and Yuqing.
Yu Fei was raised by her aunt and had a family spirit since she was a child, while Yu Qing was still young and still had a childlike spirit about her.
The eldest wife thought to herself: Prince Jin is good at choosing people. With such good looks, it would be enough for him to be sent to the palace to be a beloved concubine. She thought about it again, and she seemed to have never heard that Prince Jin had suffered a loss.
At that time, I suddenly thought as if I had a clear understanding in my heart that before the King of Jin entrusted Princess Qingjiang to propose marriage, he must have already taken a fancy to Yulan.
Seeing that the eldest wife was distracted at this time, Yu Lan coughed lightly and reminded: "Mother?"
"Oh? Oh!" The eldest lady smiled and quickly returned to the topic: "The first thing is your dowry. After discussing with my mother, I made a new copy and brought it over to you to see if you still have it.
It needs to be added with some consideration.”
After saying that, he took the list from the maid standing behind him and handed it to Yulan. Yulan said, "Tell mother to worry about it!" She took it generously and looked through it at will.
The eldest wife felt a little depressed in her heart. Ordinary girls shouldn't say shyly at this time: "Is it all up to the mother?" Yulan was better, not polite at all, just tell her to look at her.
But she didn't want to think about it. If she was walking and sitting upright, why would Yu Lan doubt her, her aunt?
Yu Lan took the list, looked at a few large numbers, and then closed it again. She naturally knew that there would be no problem with the list this time, so she thought that Yuxin had played a role in it, but she didn't know that Ye Yichen was even more
He took great credit and said gently: "My mother's arrangements are excellent. My daughter will never be dissatisfied!"
The eldest lady kept saying: "That's good! That's good!" Then she pointed to the dowry list and explained to her in detail, which shop was in which place, which village had how much land, all clearly explained.
Yulan listened quietly, nodding from time to time, but rarely spoke. The eldest lady didn't care whether the other two girls could bear it or not. When Yufei heard that Yulan's dowry alone was worth one hundred thousand taels, she was already jealous.
His eyes were red.
After talking about the dowry, the eldest lady said again: "There is one more thing that I want to talk to you about first, so that you can make preparations in advance. I have discussed it with my mother, because Prince Jin is very different from other clans, you are now
After all, your status is a bit low to marry, so I have already given instructions to pick a good and auspicious day, open the ancestral hall, and write you in my name!"
At this time, even Yulan was surprised: "Mother?" In that era, birth often determined everything. Legally speaking, legitimate daughters and concubines were different. It was only natural that legitimate daughters were more valuable than concubines.
, is something that everyone is accustomed to, so the eldest wife was willing to do this, even Yulan didn’t expect it.
"Congratulations, sister!" Now even Yuqing, who had been silent, was envious. Yufei was even more jealous. What she hated most in her life was that she was born to an aunt, but she worked hard and spent all her energy to please the eldest wife.
, in the end, we had to end up like this. Now that Yulan was effortlessly recorded in his wife's name and became his legal legitimate daughter, how could she be convinced?
She felt a surge of anger welling up in her heart, and her stomach ached slightly! But she lowered her head, not daring to look at the eldest wife and Yulan, for fear that they would notice the malice in her eyes.
However, Yulan stood up and saluted the eldest lady respectfully: "My daughter thanks my mother for making this happen." When such a good thing was brought to her door, Yulan would naturally not push it out.
After seeing off the eldest lady, Yu Fei and Yu Qing were left to have dinner at Green Jingzhai. Yulan finally sent Yu Fei out, and a big stone fell in her heart. Yu Fei was real, if it was true
If something happened in Lujingzhai, she really didn't know how to explain it to the Niu family.
I usually don't know how to maintain a good relationship with my sisters, but I just remembered at this moment that it was so annoying to see her on the sedan chair that Yu Fei could do such a thing. Yu Lan had always had a mediocre relationship with her, and it was precisely because of her that she was like this
temperament.
After the eldest wife found someone to see it, she chose a day, opened the ancestral hall, and invited many relatives from her family to watch the ceremony. She wrote Yulan under her name, and Yulan suddenly became a concubine.
As for becoming a legitimate daughter, although she cannot compare with a real legitimate daughter, she is still much better than an ordinary concubine.
After the busy work was over, the eldest wife continued to take care of Yulan's dowry. Although the fifth wife helped, even if it was more than 20,000 taels, it could not be completed in a day or two. This matter has not yet happened.
After getting a clue, Princess Qingjiang paid another visit, this time to "ask for a date."
The eldest lady was slightly surprised. The prince was a little too impatient. No one was so anxious when marrying their daughter. But she didn’t know that Princess Qingjiang was also pressed by the prince. The prince’s thoughts were actually very simple.
He was not afraid that Yulan would run away, but he was worried about the condition of the old lady of the Yang family. To put it bluntly, if the old lady passed away one day, Yulan would have to keep filial piety for her. Then he didn’t know when.
Only then can we get married.
