Chapter 380 The Ugly Daughter-in-law Meets Her Parents-
in-law After a simple lunch at Huibin Building, He Yanxiu took Su Yujin to listen to a half-day opera in the afternoon as he wished.
The Palace of Eternal Life, The Peony Pavilion, The Tale of the White Snake...
The leading actor has excellent singing skills, and the sound of string and bamboo instruments is also clear and pleasant to the ears.
Su Yujin nodded repeatedly, and when she heard that the mood was very good, she even sent the waiters in the theater to give some tips.
"I just heard from the waiter that Jin Yunu and Lute Ji will be sung here tomorrow. Let's come and listen." He Yanxiu took the opportunity to suggest.
You have to make time for it in advance.
"Okay." Su Yujin agreed very much.
It's rare to have a few days off in a year, so it's nice to relax.
In the following days, Su Yujin and He Yanxiu either watched plays or listened to books, just enjoying the rare relaxing time.
Seeing this, Ai Cao, Liu Mama and others also took over all the household affairs and tried not to disturb the two of them.
As New Year’s Eve approaches, every household is busy preparing.
Those who have been busy outside all year round are now rushing home so that they can reunite with their families earlier.
At this time, two carriages were speeding on the official road towards the capital.
Kang lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "Where are we?"
"We have already entered the capital. It will take at most two hours to reach the city." Qin Jiashu held Kang's hand while speaking. Noticing that his palms were sweating, he smiled and said, "You are usually fearless, so why are you so nervous today?"
"An ugly daughter-in-law is most nervous when meeting her parents-in-law. Although your father died early and your biological mother is no longer with us, you still have to visit your mother, the mistress of the family, so you can't help but feel uneasy." Kang replied with a smile.
But this smile was quite unnatural.
After all, she is already of such an age that she should have a clear understanding of many things and has seen many storms and waves. She should remain calm and composed no matter what happens.
But this matter was different after all, and she felt indescribably nervous.
"I'm here, don't worry." Qin Jiashu whispered to comfort her, and held Kang's hand even tighter.
Qin Jiashu spoke in a low voice, and Kang felt a little relieved and nodded.
Qin Jiashu stroked Kang's palm, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Don't be too surprised when you get to my home in the capital."
"My house is not small, and I have many servants. The etiquette for meeting my mother and brother will probably be a bit complicated..."
"No problem." Kang disagreed. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I should be more accommodating. But I am used to being careless and casual outside. I don't know the rules of a wealthy family. You need to ask a few old ladies or maids to follow me to avoid making a fool of myself."
He is now discussing marriage with Qin Jiashu, and they will get married next spring. The two are already an engaged couple. If there is any disgrace, it will be a disgrace to the Kang family and also to Qin Jiashu.
"Don't worry, I will make sure it's arranged."
Kang has been doing business since he was young, and has been working hard outside. He is strong-willed and aggressive. He is also the one who has the final say in Hedong Prefecture, but now he has to take care of everything in order to take into account the rules here...
Qin Jiashu felt warm in his heart and put his arm around Kang's shoulders.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? …
The carriage jolted for more than two hours before finally entering the city gate of the capital.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the capital city becomes more prosperous and lively than usual.
Kang had been to the capital before, and this time he came again. Seeing the changes in the various shops on both sides of the street, he chatted with Qin Jiashu with great interest.
When they arrived at the palace, the carriage stopped. The servants and maids who had already received the news were waiting outside and helped Kang get off the carriage.
After getting off the car and looking around, Kang's eyes fell on the plaque hanging high at the door.
The three large gold-plated characters "Prince Jia's Mansion" sparkled brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun, dazzling.
After being stunned for a moment, Kang turned to look at Qin Jiashu, "Are you going to pay a visit to Prince Jia first? You and I do have the same word, but which brother's family?"
"Let's say, is it possible... that I am Prince Jia?" Qin Jiashu smiled awkwardly.
"You?" Kang looked Qin Jiashu up and down, pursed her lips, "It doesn't look like it."
Qin Jiashu, "..."
What kind of look would that be? ...
After sitting in the mansion for half a day, Kang finally accepted the fact that the Fifth Master Qin in front of her was the younger brother of the current emperor, now Prince Jia.
Drinking the extremely fragrant Longjing tea in the cup, Kang held the lid of the tea bowl and looked at Qin Jiashu who tilted his head for a long time, "Why didn't you mention it before?"
Qin Jiashu, "..."
Is it that he doesn't want to mention it?
Every time he tried to bring it up, he was interrupted. In the end, he couldn't even utter a word.
But of course we can't put the blame on Kang at this moment...
Qin Jiashu thought about it, then stepped forward with a playful smile, "It doesn't matter whether I mention it or not. Do you still care about my identity?"
That’s right, she doesn’t care what Qin Jiashu’s identity is.
It was just like when she first met Qin Jiashu, she thought he was just a stingy and poor man. Even when Qin Jiashu later said that he had some ancestral property, she thought he was just an empty shell and didn't actually live a rich life.
She could accept the poor Qin Jiashu, so naturally, she cared even less about the wealthy Qin Jiashu now.
But then again, since Qin Jiashu is a prince, then the brother he mentioned is the emperor? And the mother he mentioned is the empress dowager?
Kang: "..."
Even though she had traveled extensively for many years, the longer she did business, the more she understood the difference between officials and businessmen, and the difference in status and rank. It was fine to meet ordinary officials and wives of officials on weekdays, but now she had to suddenly meet the emperor and the empress dowager...
The pressure on the ugly daughter-in-law to see her parents-in-law increased again! ...
Kang spent most of the next few days in the harem.
Meet the Queen Mother, the Empress, the Consort Shu and other high-ranking and important concubines...
After this round, Kang received many rewards and was finally summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother, where she talked for a long time.
The empress dowager was extremely concerned about Qin Jiashu's marriage, especially as her grandchildren were going to get married one after another and her great-grandchildren were about to be born.
It just so happened that Qin Jiashu was easy to talk to on other matters except this one, where he refused to give in at all and made all the decisions based on his own opinion. The empress dowager had no choice but to go along with him.
Now that Qin Jiashu was willing to get married and was in a hurry to do so, the empress dowager was very happy and she looked at Kang and his thoughts more carefully.
"Although Jia'er is not young, he still behaves like a child in many things. He is simply a blockhead. If you have any problems with him in the future, just tell me and I will make the decision for you."
The Queen Mother took Kang's hand and said with a smile.
The Hall of Eternal Life was only built during the Qing Dynasty. This is just a fiction and I won’t go into details. (End of this chapter)
