Chapter 21 Tao Yiran''s disdain


    Xin''an arrived at the Wang family''s courtyard early to pay his respects. Tang Gang wanted to go to court. Wang got up very early. When Xin''an arrived, she slept and got up.


    "Isn''t it said that I''m exempting today''s gift, why did it come?"


    Xin An smiled and said, "I have been raised since I was a child, and my body is better than my sister-in-law. I got up early today and thought about coming over to talk to my mother."


    She said that Tang Mo had gone out and said that she would arrange someone to carry the dowry today.


    Wang''s people are guarding those dowry, "A woman''s dowry is related to her life. I send someone to take care of her carefully, but don''t worry, you must count it clearly."


    Xin An nodded, and Wang smiled and gave her a pair of jade bracelets, "You are my relative''s daughter-in-law. I will give you my things in the future. This bracelet was my dowry back then. My mother gave me it, not a good thing, please take it."


    The Wang family is not a big family. Because it was a renewed marriage and the Marquis'' Mansion was at the forefront, the old lady decided to marry a girl from the fifth-rank official family. Unfortunately, although the Wang family gained a firm foothold in the Marquis'' Mansion, the Wang family died of illness very quickly due to her father''s illness. So far, there are only a few nephews who are still studying and are somewhat hopeful.


    Seeing that the bracelet was not very good, Xin An took it with a smile, "The price of the things my mother gave me was measured, even a piece of wood is a very precious treasure."


    Wang was surprised after saying this, and then his brows stretched out, "I was a little worried before I was going to give this bracelet to you. It''s not that good quality is better than this one, but this means differently to the bracelet and it represents my intentions more. As long as you can understand it."


    "Come on, my mother has something for you."


    A box of immortal flower headdresses appeared vividly. Wang picked up a hairpin and put it in Xin''an''s hair. "This was appreciated by the Queen on the New Year''s Day last year. It was made of grass. The texture is light and soft, and the tones are elegant, comparable to real flowers. The stamens are embedded with pearls the size of rice grains, which are more lively and gorgeous, and are just right for your age."


    After the hairpin was finished, he nodded with satisfaction, "Go and look in the mirror, it looks really beautiful."


    Xin An stroked the flowers in the mirror, his eyes full of joy. When he put on the flowers, she looked younger and looked back and smiled, "Thank you, mother."


    In the last life, when they entered the gate of the Marquis''s mansion, they regarded this mother-in-law as an opponent. The two of them had a lot of secret competition, and now they have become kissing mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Their getting along is completely different from before, very harmonious, but they are fresh and tight.


    Wang smiled happily and took her to pay tribute to the old lady. On the way, he told her a lot of the old lady''s preferences. Xin An also told her that Tang Mo was going to go to Tang Yong''s mansion. "It''s easy to add icing on the cake, but it''s hard to help him in time. The left is just a helper. If it really doesn''t work, you can still make some money. It''s good to leave a passionate feeling."


    Both of them stopped and their voices were not loud. Wang thought for a moment and told the old lady not to know about this matter. "Even if your father doesn''t say anything, just let the second boy do it. He has nothing to do with just a group of friends, and he can always find some ways."


    "Your second uncle''s family is actually good, and you don''t rely on the power of the marquis'' mansion. The children and men at home are studying hard and want to take the imperial examination path, your father is the man."


    Considering that it was not appropriate to say Tang Gang in front of his new wife, he didn''t continue, "If you can help, please help me. I see that you have a good idea. It is his blessing for the second boy to marry you."


    Xin An nodded and said, "It''s nothing to pull and help each other. There is no flower for a hundred days. Who can guarantee that you won''t ask for the day before others." Wang was very pleased, and thought that her parents'' family was declining over the years. If the Hou Mansion could pull it up, it wouldn''t be so difficult. She had a grudge against Tang Gang. Now, when Xin An said this, hope arises in her heart, "The second boy acts a little free and is not steady enough. You should remind him more and say it as long as you should, don''t worry, the mother is not the kind of person who favors her son in everything. As long as he is good to him, it''s nothing to let him suffer."


    The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law smiled at each other. Xin An approached her a little and lowered his voice to tell the story of Xueyu in Chunhuayuan''s pregnancy. Wang raised his eyes and then smiled and patted the back of her hand, indicating that he knew.


    Seeing Xin''an arrived, the old lady was very happy and did not ask her to serve the meal. Instead, she asked her to sit down and eat with her. The old lady''s breakfast was the best in the house. The crystal dumplings and peach blossom pastry were made with a very exquisite taste, which was pleasing to the eye. Xin''an was not polite. She tasted every snack and said it was delicious, and she was eager to invite the old lady to taste it. The old lady also ate more and was satisfied.


    After learning that she was going to carry a dowry today, the old lady didn''t keep her too much. When she returned to Qiushiyuan, the first dowry had arrived.


    The original servants of Qiushiyuan plus the nine people who were Xin''an''s dowry. Manager Wu from the Hou Mansion sent twelve servants to help. The dowry boxes came in one after another. Qiushiyuan was very lively. Aunt Wang was so busy that she stood under the eaves and watched. She decided what needed to be put out and what needed to be stored in the warehouse.


    "The materials for these two boxes don''t need to be put into the warehouse. I will pick some beautiful materials to make some clothes, and pick out the other slightly darker ones separately. I will give the materials of wealth and purple to my grandmother."


    "The jewelry is placed on the dressing table, and the other large ornaments are placed in the warehouse."


    Looking at the dowry piled up in the yard, Xin An felt very at ease. Seeing that these people were very quick and meticulous in their work, they were cautious in carrying these dowry, and they were very satisfied. "Everyone did a good job. Let''s go back and give each person a reward of one tael of silver and ask Aunt Wang to take it."


    Whether it was the people in the yard or the servants in the front yard, they hurriedly thanked them, especially the servants in the outer yard. They heard that the people in Qiushiyuan received a twelve month reward, and their eyes were red with envy. Unexpectedly, they only came to help and got a tael of silver. This was a huge sum of silver. Whenever they looked up, they felt that the second young lady was emitting golden light.


    The news next door also came very quickly. Tao Yiran didn''t take it seriously when he received the news. "All those who sell themselves as slaves must keep their duties. Once this starts, will you pay if you have any instructions in the future?"


    Merchants are not allowed to behave in style.


    Aunt Cai also agreed with this and said to Aunt Liu: "They should be grateful if they have the opportunity to do things for the prince."


    "How can the prince''s wife be compared with the noble daughter of a noble family?"


    She was smart. Seeing that Tang Rong was excited about Tao Yiran, she chose to avoid her edge and acted to please him. For this reason, she also helped Tao Yiran suppress the two girls Xueyu and Yingyue. After Tao Yiran took it seriously, Aunt Liu hated her.


    Tao Yiran felt that Aunt Cai was listening to her words and reminded her, "No matter how her second brother and sister are from, they are now married into the Marquis'' Mansion and become sister-in-law. Don''t say Aunt Cai again in the future, so as not to feel uncomfortable if her brother and sister hear it."


    Aunt Cai smiled and said, "Mrs. Young lady is kind-hearted, and no one can match others."
