"Bitao, please take it down for me." After saying that, Yurong stood up again and bowed to Zhou Ziying.

The Jingzhao Wei family is worthy of being one of the top wealthy families. Even the gift of pendants is worth a fortune. No matter how this marriage was arranged, it was very sincere, at least Yurong could feel the sincerity.

It's not just a random gift, but it's something that is carefully prepared.

Zhou Ziying smiled and said, "Hurry up, this marriage is to bring together the good of both sexes. The Yang family of Hongnong and our Jingzhao Wei family are not ordinary families, so we will follow all the ancient rituals this time and will definitely hold a grand wedding with great fanfare."

Yurong shouldn't have heard this. Perhaps because they were of similar age, Zhou Ziying naturally spoke to Yurong as an equal.

But Yurong knew that she was a new bride and should avoid suspicion, so she lied and said that she had something to do and had to go down first. Zhou Ziying thought that he was negligent, and then he talked to Zhu about the wedding process without changing his expression.

Zhu was a careful person, otherwise, there would not be a woman who could manage the fourth house so prosperously. One does not need to look at how nice she said, but only needs to look at what she did to understand.

She said, "Although it is said that a married woman should obey her husband, your family's ancient customs are also very good. We will follow you, but our Yurong is just a little girl. If she does something wrong in the future, please bear with her."

"Don't worry about that." Zhou Ziying was too young to say that she loved Yang Yurong as her own daughter. She spoke in an official tone, "Our old lady and the prime minister think highly of the eldest son. Don't worry about that."

Zhou Ziying had always been particularly concerned about things around Wei Xuanning and had even fantasized about marrying Wei Xuanning. She naturally knew Wei Xuanning's status in the Wei family. It could be said that he was the only son of the third generation of the entire Wei family. It was the same in his previous life. Almost all of the old lady's private property was given to him. It was a pity that after Wei Xuanning's death, Gao Shanru was useless and could not keep anything. The huge Wei family was almost occupied by someone else.

Zhou Ziying came to her senses and was about to say goodbye. Zhu wanted to see her out, but she stopped her and said, "Don't worry, my dear. Both your family and my family have a lot of things to do. There's no need to bother anymore."

Seeing Zhou Ziying walking away, Zhu came in and said to Yurong, "I think Zhou is okay. Although she is young, she is also a capable person. No wonder Prime Minister Wei married her. However, it would be better if Second Madam Wei came here. She is a better person."

Yurong laughed: "I dare not say that. She is the elder of my husband's family. Even though she is young, I have to respect her."

Whether a man is good to you or not is not determined by the sweet words he says, but by whether he puts effort into you. He is good to you only when he spends money and time on you.

"Girl, you were so timid towards the Wei family before, but now you are bought over by just a set of jewelry." Zhu couldn't help but poke her daughter's head.

Yurong shook her head and said, "This set of ornaments is worth 10,000 taels, and the betrothal gift they gave is only 10,000 taels. Mother, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our family to earn that much in this lifetime."

"Tsk..." Zhu said in disbelief, "Is it so generous?"

"If you don't say they are the top wealthy families, I remember that was during the Jin Dynasty, the Wang and Sima families shared the world, what a grand style. Now, due to the decline of the Nine-Rank System and the rise of the imperial examination, these aristocratic families have declined a lot. For example, the Lanling Xiao family in the past was even more decadent than our Hongnong Yang family, and several branches of our Yang family are also on the decline. But the Wei family has produced two thousand stone officials in every generation, and the harem and the front court are even more glorious."

Zhu nodded, "My family is just an ordinary country gentry family. Marrying into the Yang family is like moving up a level, so I thought that aristocratic families were just like that. But today, after meeting the Wei family, I finally understand what a real aristocratic family is. Since they want to marry you according to the ancient rites, they must cherish you very much. Yurong, you must be patient."

"Um."

After returning from the Yang family, Zhou Ziying first came to pay respects to Madam Wei, and told Madam Yu Wei what happened today: "Mrs. Yang Liu is beautiful, with good manners, and is a perfect match for our eldest son. After the ornament was given to her, my mother-in-law praised her highly."

In front of this old woman, Zhou Ziying did not dare to be negligent. Although she was now slowly taking charge of the household, depriving her of her power as housekeeper was a matter of a word from Madam Wei.

Old Madam Wei was originally indifferent to Zhou Ziying. After all, this girl had a crush on Xuan Ning in the past, so it would be bad if she did anything wrong. Fortunately, she was very respectful after entering the palace, and served her son very well. Only then did Old Madam Wei treat her a little better. What happened today could be regarded as the first step for Old Madam Wei to test her.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziying did not overconfidently do what he wanted and he still did a very good job.

Then Madam Wei said another thing, "Master Gao Xiang was once Xuan Ning's teacher, and he was also your master's classmate. He is now going to be sent out, and I want to bring Master Gao's daughter to accompany me."

Gao Shanru? Wasn't that Wei Xuanning's wife in the previous life?

Could it be that the Gao family still has some intentions towards Wei Xuanning?

Madam Wei naturally would not explain so much to Zhou Ziying. She only said to Wei Xuanning: "Don't worry, this marriage was originally arranged when you were young. If it weren't for the princess's trickery and robbery, you would have been married long ago. Later, you married into the Yang family by mistake. In the end, I am sorry for them. Her father hated the prince's party because of his daughter. Now that the prince has been deposed, he has become a target of criticism. Therefore, we cannot ignore the daughter of the Gao family. Moreover, Shanru——"

"I know." Wei Xuanning replied naturally, "In the end, I am the one who let her down. Don't worry, now that the teacher has to work as an official elsewhere, it would be good for them to have someone to take care of them in our home."

Otherwise, Princess Xin'an had endless tricks up her sleeve. Perhaps she felt that she would soon possess the Heshi Bi, so she became more and more arrogant.

If the teacher's family got into trouble because of him and he didn't lend a helping hand, he would spend the rest of his life in guilt.

However, Madam Wei still gave Wei Xuanning a warning, "It has always been said that a peaceful harem allows men to accomplish great things. Although Shanru is by my side, you must treat her with courtesy and don't think about having it both ways."

She was afraid that her grandson would make a mistake. Although Yang was only married as a temporary measure, the marriage should be formal and she could not be made into a joke, which would be bad for Wei Xuanning's reputation.

Wei Xuanning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't worry, I always know how to handle such things. Besides, Yang is definitely not an ignorant woman who is jealous."

Madam Wei smiled subtly: "That may not be the case. Even the most generous woman cannot stand her husband being too nice to other women."

But Wei Xuanning said confidently, "If she is jealous of others with a beauty like her, other women in this world may have no chance to survive."

Old Madam Wei looked at him with his tail fluttering and couldn't help wondering: Am I here to see you show off your wife?
