Zhao Qingyan just smiled and didn't bother her grandmother at all.
The old lady got tired of talking and then noticed that there were three other women in the room.
"Haha, haha, I'm sorry about that."
My wife is used to it; she can't stop when she sees my darling daughter.
Don't mind, there's a whole car full of stuff outside, it's all for you.
Da Ya, go and bring in all the things from the car for your third grandmother and two aunts.
What's so special about it? You can divide it among yourselves.
The old woman bought things along the way. Every few days she would receive a letter saying that a new wife was coming into the family, and a few days later she would receive another wife.
So, this thing really is found everywhere.
Well, the old lady has already explained, what can they say?
It's already very kind of the old lady to have this intention.
Unwrapping gifts is truly a delightful experience.
The cartload of goods, when placed in the living room, looked like a small mountain.
Daya took on the role of explaining where each item was bought, what material it was made of, and what its special features were.
It describes the texture, taste, and so on in great detail.
Then, the eldest princess discussed with her two daughters-in-law who should own the item.
I must say, the scene was actually quite interesting.
Yuan Ruoshui was invited to stay for the family dinner after the spoils were divided.
Even though she hasn't married Zhao Qingyi yet, it's coming soon. Their wedding will be in just over ten days.
Looking at the lively atmosphere at the Zhao family's house, Yuan Ruoshui was really looking forward to their wedding. For the first time, she felt that getting married was a good thing.
Before, when she was thinking about getting married, she figured she had to get married sooner or later anyway, so she might as well choose someone who was good-looking.
Unexpectedly, after coming to the capital, her handsome and learned husband fell into her lap like a pie falling from the sky.
Even better, the pie was filled with meat and tasted delicious.
If a daughter comes home late, she should naturally inform her father in advance. Mr. Yuan was naturally happy; it was the best thing that his daughter could be accepted by her husband's family.
"Daughter, tell your father, what is Grandma Zhao's temperament like? Is she a shrewish and willful person?"
Mr. Yuan had been waiting for his daughter to come home, just to ask her about the other mountain hanging over her head.
Yuan Ruoshui thought for a moment and concluded,
"Grandmother must have been a very straightforward person. In the beginning, when she praised us women, she would praise us like we were flowers, which made us blush."
When she met her eldest sister, her grandmother's demeanor changed.
He ignored everyone else, showering them with concern and offering them carefully selected gifts, listing each one as if it were his most treasured possession.
Those who see it are truly envious.
However, they did prepare a cartload of supplies for us.
Today, besides eating at the Zhao family's house, it was just the princess, me, and my sister-in-law sharing things.
The eldest son's granddaughter is also quite remarkable.
All those items, one by one, were described in great detail: when and where they were bought, their features, and what kind of people they were suitable for.
If you didn't know better, you'd think she was the seller.
He is eloquent and quick-witted.
The other boys also seemed to be very well-mannered. It was said that the reason for bringing them to the capital was so that these boys could pursue their studies…
Perhaps influenced by Daya, Yuan Ruoshui told her father everything she saw, heard, and said in great detail.
Mr. Yuan nodded.
"Presumably, the Zhao family is a good family. Fortunately, you will live alone after you get married."
As long as you observe proper etiquette, your life together will be excellent. Especially since your son-in-law has already given you his entire fortune.
However, daughter, I still maintain that you shouldn't be too lenient with men.
Especially in terms of money, you can buy him whatever he needs, but try not to let him handle too much money.
In this way, he will not easily turn bad.
Yuan Ruoshui nodded.
"Father, I understand. However, I don't think Qingyi will change her mind."
His eyes were filled with nothing but paints and beautiful objects.
We were at the jewelry store today, and he did all the picking out things – what color, what texture, whether it suited me.
Even on his way back to the Zhao residence, he said that he could sell some jewelry samples for money.
That way, I can earn more. And I can work less hard.
After hearing this, Mr. Yuan sighed deeply.
"I hope my son-in-law will remain consistent. Although our family is wealthy, we are ultimately just merchants and don't have much of a foundation."
In the end, we were the ones who were climbing the social ladder.
Since your younger brother is coming here, don't let him go back to Jiangnan. Let him study in the capital instead.
Your father hopes your younger brother will also achieve great things in the future, so he can support you, his older sister.
Yuan Ruoshui's eyes reddened, but she still tried her best to control her emotions. "Father, don't worry, I will be happy."
Besides, I've always kept my father's teachings in mind and resolutely refused to give my husband any money. That way, he'll have less chance of changing his mind.
Zhao Qingyi, who was having a great time playing with her nephews and nieces at home, kept sneezing.
"Oh dear, who's insulting me? I never do anything wrong and I don't think I've offended anyone."
After finishing her nagging, Zhao Qingbei continued playing with the children.
The boys were already mischievous, and with Uncle Zhao Qingmen leading the way, they were practically tearing the roof off.
Fortunately, they weren't in the same courtyard as the princess. Otherwise, the princess would surely have been unable to sleep at night.
As my belly grew bigger and heavier each day, the quality of my sleep also deteriorated.
The next day, Zhao Minggeng went out to smooth things over, hoping to get his grandsons into the Imperial Academy, while Zhao Qingyi took his nephews, nieces, and cousins shopping.
He's the only one with free time in the family right now, because he's not married yet.
First, the first place we went was Huicui Pavilion.
Zhao Qingyan said yesterday that she would pay for all the expenses if she brought the children there.
Not only that, he also gave Zhao Qingbei 500 taels of silver and took the children around, naturally buying them some food and toys.
As for valuable items, his poor uncle doesn't need to worry about them.
Zhao Qingbei readily agreed; he was very pragmatic.
I will never try to appear more capable than I am.
Zhao Qingbei was just a teenager, and the nephews he was with were all around ten years old. They were at that playful and active age.
If it weren't for the Zhao family's good upbringing, these boys would probably cause trouble wherever they go.
In any era, looks matter, and when the Zhao family children went out, they quickly attracted a lot of attention.
Others might not recognize her, but quite a few people do.
To ensure the children had a good time, the group deliberately avoided riding in a carriage and walked instead, which led them to encounter many people that Zhao Qingbei was not very familiar with.
"Young Master Zhao, where are you going? Do you have time today? I'd like to invite you for a drink."
"Young Master Zhao, it's been a long time. Has the matter of assigning officials been settled?"
"Young Master Zhao the Second..."
