After finishing all this, Xiaocao and Wei Tingyu accompanied the wife of Marquis Pingyang for breakfast.
The wife of the Marquis of Pingyang had no intention of setting any rules, so there was no difference between here and at home, except that the people around her changed. In addition, the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang had always been a vegetarian, but she also asked the kitchen to prepare a meal with meat.
After the meal, "If you have anything to do, just go and do it. You don't have to accompany me." Lady Pingyang Hou said.
Xiaocao was a little hesitant at first, but Wei Tingyu directly asked to leave.
After they left, Wei Tingyu talked about the current situation of the wife of Marquis Pingyang. She really didn't like having people around her. "If Marquis Pingyang's Mansion hadn't needed her to take care of it before, I wouldn't have married you yet, and my mother would have probably become a nun. Now, if you take over the finances of the Marquis' Mansion, then..." He couldn't finish the rest of the sentence.
It can be seen that even if Lady Pingyang Hou really has such an idea, Wei Tingyu is not willing to let her go to that step. Putting aside the issue of reputation, the main reason is that the Buddhist place has always been austere. Not only is there no one to serve, but also one needs to do the rough work by oneself. Although the relationship between mother and son is not close, as a mother, her love for her son has always been great.
Xiao Cao pulled Wei Tingyu's hand and said, "If you don't want to, I will refuse mother on the grounds that I am busy with things outside and have no time to take care of the Marquis' Mansion. If you are willing to help mother, let my sister-in-law take over, and I will arrange someone to assist my sister-in-law. It's all possible."
Xiaocao is just a daughter-in-law after all, so it’s better for her not to get involved in such matters.
"Mom doesn't have to become a nun, right? Our family can let her practice asceticism." Wei Tingyu felt that his mother didn't seem to have such a strong desire, which was also one of his unwilling wishes. If his mother insisted, he would not be unable to fulfill her wish. "Some things should not be done..."
"Then let her continue to manage the mansion. Also, when we have children in the future, we will definitely need her help. After all, we all have things to do. When Bai Liri is not around, it is impossible to leave the children completely to the servants to take care of them."
Wei Tingyu's affection softened immediately. Raising a child is very hard, and he didn't want his Xuan'er to suffer. He just thought that there would be a child to continue their bloodline. Whether it was a boy or a girl, they would be as good as Xuan'er. He couldn't help but feel happy. "Yeah. Even if we try hard, we probably can't get close to our mother, but children are different."
Xiaocao has always been in good health, and she is already 20 years old, which is the best childbearing age. So now she is not thinking about contraception or anything like that. Of course, there is no need to deliberately prepare for pregnancy, just let nature take its course. Well, someone can't drink like he did last night.
It's a big event in life, and there's only one in a lifetime... No, Xiaocao and the others only have two times. Even so, they must have a few days off. Emperor Xuanren directly gave Wei Tingyu seven days off. You know, other people only have three days at most. Xiaocao has her own career, and it's up to her to decide whether to take a holiday or not.
Although she is very career-oriented, she still decided to take a few days off.
The yard they lived in now was rebuilt by dividing up several yards. Xiaocao was not familiar with it yet, so Wei Tingyu took her for a leisurely stroll. Not only was the newly built yard large, it was also exceptionally exquisite, which suited Xiaocao's preferences very well.
Then, not surprisingly, he saw Xiaocao's huge dowry.
To be honest, even though I had experienced visual shock when I was still at Wenrenjia before, I still couldn't help but want to cover my eyes when I saw it now. If nothing else, the main reason was, "How long will it take to sort this out?"
Wei Tingyu laughed, "Even if you sort a few boxes a day, you will finish them one day."
Xiao Cao looked at him speechlessly. Would it take dozens or even hundreds of days to prepare the dowry? "Anyway, there's nothing else to do today, so let's start now." Xiao Cao grabbed Wei Tingyu, "Help me."
Wei Tingyu nodded and agreed.
Originally, a head nanny in the princess's mansion brought the dowry book.
Because everything is classified when it is installed, it is not too difficult to organize it.
"Xuan'er, let's send these 'trees' directly to the princess's residence. There is no suitable place to put them in our yard. Even if we put them in the warehouse, they will take up too much space. It would be best to find a suitable place to put them."
It is so high and so big that it can only be placed in a spacious main hall or a specially built elegant pavilion. If it is put away, it cannot be folded or disassembled, and other things cannot be placed under the branches, so it will take up a lot of space.
Is it that there is no place to put them in the Marquis's Mansion? No, but these are Xiaocao's things. Pingyang Hou is still the nominal head of the Marquis's Mansion. Taking these things out will make him look good? It's wishful thinking, so it's best to put them in the Princess's Mansion.
"Leave a coral. Your study is big enough and spacious. There is also a private room next to it. You can put it there."
"become."
Wei Tingyu has always been quick and decisive in doing things. He selected a smaller one and sent it directly to the elegant room in the study. The other two gold and silver treasure trees and the remaining coral trees were sent away directly. Of course, compared to the ones carried in from the Wenren family, they were slightly covered when they were carried out, but people outside could probably know what was going on when they saw it.
For example, if the movement here was not concealed, other people in the Marquis' Mansion would soon know about it. People like the Marquis of Pingyang's wife and Yu were quite calm. They thought that since there was no place to put them in the Marquis' Mansion, it was normal to put them in the Princess' Mansion.
The face of Marquis Pingyang, who had already woken up, was not so good. He was knocked unconscious by Wei Tingyu's men last night and missed the tea this morning (in fact, Marquis Pingyang's wife had someone drug him last night), leaving him no chance to show off, so he was furious. As for those jewel trees, when they were delivered the day before yesterday, Marquis Pingyang's eyes widened, and he thought about where it would be more appropriate to put them. Although they were his daughter-in-law's things, it was always okay to take one out. He had someone keep them in a place so that he could invite people to come and see them in the future, which would be very face-saving. In the end, they were sent away directly!
Marquis Pingyang rushed out without a second thought, trying to stop them. However, his wife knew him very well, and stopped him halfway. The servants told him directly that his wife said that the marquis was still the marquis after all, and it was best not to do such a shameful thing as coveting his daughter-in-law's dowry. If he couldn't calm down, then they would help him calm down.
Pingyang Hou was so angry that he started cursing.
This little episode here will not affect Xiaocao and the others.
Xiaocao selected a lot of suitable decorations and filled various places in their yard.
Not to mention, this behavior was incredible to the people who originally served in this courtyard. She had just married into the family, but she was decorating the house like the owner, as if it was a matter of course.
