Xia Chunyu was just trying to scare her. He was about to pay his respects to his parents, and he also had to see off his uncle and uncle. He didn't dare to delay the business, so he let her go after a while.
When she went to greet her in the morning, Xia Youshi still had a cold face. Ye Jiayao felt that she should think about how to conquer this mountain. Even the concubine's son's daughter-in-law, Qiao Shi, was more popular than her in front of Xia Youshi. How could she do it
Ye Jiayao disagrees with the theory of treating her parents-in-law as filial piety as her own parents. A mother-in-law can treat her son-in-law as a son, but there are not many mother-in-laws in the world who would sincerely treat their daughter-in-law as a daughter. She would rather treat her parents-in-law as her boss. Very important leaders come to serve them. They don't seek promotion and wealth, but just want to live happily in their territory.
Therefore, when the leader criticizes, you must accept it with an open mind and show your attitude.
Therefore, when Xia Youshi warned her to pay attention to her identity and what she should and should not do, for example, some of her actions last night were inappropriate, Ye Jiayao analyzed her mistakes sincerely.
"Daughter-in-law knows that she was wrong. Wife-in-law must pay attention next time." Of course, Ye Jiayao added in her heart that even if she fell asleep, she would have to swim back by herself even if she was sleepwalking.
Xia Chunyu stood aside and wanted to say a few words for Yaoyao, but Ye Jiayao glared back.
Xia Youshi said: "Don't think that I am deliberately picking on you. You are the future mistress of the Hou Mansion. A virtuous wife will make her husband obedient, and a harmonious family will bring prosperity."
"The mother is for the good of her daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law understands that the daughter-in-law has never had a biological mother since she was a child. The stepmother will only make things difficult and criticize her, and she has no good intentions at all. Now the daughter-in-law finally has a mother. She has a mother to teach her and a mother to be filial. The daughter-in-law is grateful and will go to the future. If your daughter-in-law does something wrong, please ask your mother to teach her. She will definitely work hard and not let her mother down." Ye Jiayao's expression and tone were extremely sincere.
Her weakness and statement were based on her analysis of Xia You's psychology. Xia Youshi does have a lot of dissatisfaction with her now, but she is already the second young mistress of the Hou Mansion, so Xia Youshi has to admit it no matter how dissatisfied she is. Qiao is a concubine's daughter-in-law, so it is impossible for Xia You to delegate power to her. And Liuli will go to the fiefdom in three years. Xia's only choice is her, good or bad. This is a period of emotional buffering and adaptation, so she must be patient.
Xia Youshi looked at her sincere face and was confused for a moment. Was she telling the truth? Regardless of whether it was true or not, Xia You felt quite comfortable after hearing these words. She felt that Jinxuan was quite pitiful for not having a mother since she was a child, and she felt more and more that the burden on her shoulders was heavy.
Xia Chunyu remained silent, observing her mother's face. Seeing that her brows were looser, she knew that most of her anger had gone away. He said cautiously: "Mom, Jinxuan's uncle and the others are going back to Zhenjiang today, and my son wants to take her to see her off."
Xia You knew about the situation of the Fang family. In the first generation of Zhenjiang, the Fang family was considered a powerful family, running the largest vinegar shop in Zhenjiang, and the children of the family produced many talents. Xia Youshi said: "It's time to give it away. Mother Sun, prepare a generous gift for them to take back to Mrs. Fang."
This was a great honor. Ye Jiayao felt that Xia You was a person who could handle important matters clearly. After all, she was from a lady's background, so she still had some self-cultivation.
Xia Chunyu had already prepared a generous gift, and the two of them went to the dock to see him off.
The eldest aunt worked hard for Ye Jiayao. Ye Jiayao was very grateful to her and was very close to her. Thinking that they had gone back this time and didn't know when they would see each other again, she felt a little sad.
"Xuan'er, the prince is sincere to you. You have to cherish it. In the Marquis Mansion, you have to pay attention to yourself. In short, if you have anything to do, write to your aunt. If you need her help, just do it. Open your mouth." Fang Wenshi said.
Ye Jiayao nodded: "I will. After I pay my respects to my grandparents, I will go back to Zhenjiang to see them when I have time. Auntie, you should also pay attention to your health."
Everyone said goodbye reluctantly. Ye Jiayao felt a little depressed and sat silently on the carriage.
Xia Chunyu didn't say anything, but he had already begun to think about when to go to Zhenjiang to visit his grandfather and grandmother. It would be best to expand the Fang family's business to Jinling, so that there would be more opportunities to meet in the future.
"Chunyu, on the day of the wedding banquet, is my father here?" Ye Jiayao suddenly asked.
"Here, I gave him a gift, drank a glass of wedding wine and then left." Xia Chunyu told the truth.
"Hmph, you even said you would add makeup to me! You know he can't come up with it. The financial power of the Ye family is in Ning's hands." Ye Jiayao snorted coldly.
"Speaking of adding dowry, you can handle your sixty-four dowry by yourself." Xia Chunyu said.
"Didn't they all go to the warehouse?" Ye Jiayao was a little surprised. Half of the sixty-four dowries came from the Hou Mansion. She thought it was just for show and she would return it to the Hou Mansion afterwards. Anyway, she took with her the most valuable things given by the old princess Yide and the Fang family. A large box was placed in the room.
Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and said: "Our Marquis Mansion does not have the habit of seeking dowries for our wives. My sister-in-law keeps her dowries herself. You should also check them and put them away."
Ye Jiayao was overjoyed, wouldn't she have made a fortune? The extra money given by the Hou Mansion was generous enough.
Suddenly having such a huge amount of property, the sadness of parting was immediately diluted a lot.
Returning to the Marquis Mansion, the concierge said that the young master was here and met the Marquis and his wife in the main courtyard. The lady asked them to come over when they came back.
Young Master Tang? The old prince’s nephew
Xia Chunyu explained: "He is my third uncle's son, his name is Xia Chunwen. This time he should be coming from Jingzhou to attend our wedding."
But it seems the timing is wrong, the wedding invitations probably haven’t been delivered yet!
"Isn't our wedding already over? Are you here now?"
"Maybe I was delayed on the way!" Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows.
When we arrived at the main courtyard, we heard the hearty laughter of the old Marquis inside.
"It's good to come back. You have been staying in that ungrateful place for many years. It's time to come back, haha..."
Ye Jiayao frowned, is Jingzhou a place where birds don't poop
"The prince and the second young lady have arrived..." the servants sang.
Ye Jiayao entered the room and saw only a frail scholar, fair and fair.
"I've met my second brother and sister-in-law." Xia Chunwen stepped forward and saluted.
Ye Jiayao bowed her knee and returned the courtesy.
"Brother Wen doesn't look too good." Xia Chunyu smiled slightly and nodded.
Xia Chunwen smiled bitterly: "I occasionally felt the wind and cold on the road, which delayed my time. Unfortunately, I couldn't catch the wedding wine of my second brother and my second sister-in-law."
"Brother Wen, you should learn martial arts. How can you do it if you are old and sick?" Chunfeng said.
"Okay, okay, everyone, sit down." The old Marquis greeted.
"Chun Yu, your third uncle wants to go back to Jinling. You are familiar with the official department. Go and say hello and see if there is a suitable position." The old Marquis ordered.
Xia Chunyu agreed and realized that Chunwen was here this time because of his third uncle's affairs.
Xia Chunyu was afraid that Ye Jiayao would be bored here, so he said: "You go back and deal with Yao's affairs first. I will come back later."
Ye Jiayao didn't get what she asked for, so she knelt down and said goodbye to everyone. Excitedly, she went back to take stock of her belongings.
First, sort out all the household dowries and store them in storage. We have toilets and footbaths at home and won’t use them for the time being.
Then there are the mosquito net fabrics for quilts, which are all made of excellent materials, but the colors are too festive, and Ye Jiayao doesn't like them very much, so she has people put away the mosquito nets and prepare the fabrics for giving away.
Song Qi arranged for his servants to place things in an orderly manner, and Ye Jiayao took the gift list and kept the accounts herself.
Next came various antique utensils, exquisite Jun kilns, and white porcelain, all of which were valuable. Ye Jiayao picked out a pair of dendrobiums and asked Yue'er to take them to the room for flower arrangement. She also picked out a pair of zhuanxin. The tangled lotus boy's vine is placed on the ancient shelf in the study room for decoration. There are also four treasures of the study inside, including two Duan Inkstones, which are said to be very rare and were given by the Helian family. Ye Jiayao generously gave one piece to Chun Yu and another to the Fourth Young Master. The little guy loved writing, so she gave it to him.
It took more than an hour to clean up the dowry.
The makeup items given by the three parties were all good and real. Ye Jiayao estimated that they were worth at least several hundred thousand taels. Of course, Ye Jiayao still underestimated those antiques because she didn’t know the market price. Song Qi just said how much they were worth. She Make another discount in your mind.
I feel very good, and I won’t feel tired even if I do this all day long.
It was almost time for lunch when Xia Chunyu came back.
"Is everything packed?"
"Okay, I'm so efficient at doing things." Ye Jiayao was smug.
"That's right, let's do something before dinner starts." Xia Chunyu showed that naughty smile again.
Ye Jiayao's nerves were already very sensitive, and she became nervous when she saw such a smile.
Xia Chunyu asked her to close the door.
"Why close the door in broad daylight?" Ye Jiayao hesitated.
"Wealth should not be exposed, do you understand?" Xia Chunyu rolled his eyes at her and told her to close the door. Why was she blushing so much? I want to write all kinds of nonsense in my mind.
Ye Jiayao's eyes lit up. Could it be that he wanted to give her some treasure? Go and close the door quickly. Looking at Xia Chunyu expectantly: "What kind of wealth?"
Xia Chunyu took out a box from the study.
"Here are the land deeds for thirty hectares of fertile land and a farmhouse, which will be left to you to take care of in the future. Also, I temporarily assigned Lao Zhao to Tianshangju to help. I have other uses for this person. From now on, I will leave the Heavenly Residence to you to take care of."
Ye Jiayao listened carefully. He was talking about taking care of things, not giving them to her.
Damn, with so many things entrusted to her, she must be busy to death
"Are these your private property?"
"yes!"
"Then who did all this work before?" Ye Jiayao asked.
"Are you referring to the fields and farms? They are all managed by Manager Lu. I don't have that free time, so the harvest has been bad. I suspect there is a problem, so I will leave it to you in the future." Xia Chunyu said. He is more concerned about shipping. After all, the profits are huge, and he is a partner with He Lianxuan. He Lianxuan is busier than him, so most of it is left to him.
"From now on, you will be in charge of the entire Hou Mansion. You should practice these tasks first." Xia Chunyu threw the stall away and was at ease.
Ye Jiayao was about to cry but had no tears. This must have been too much pressure! The euphemistic name is Lian Lian Shu, but it's not like treating her as a high-level employee.
