Shen Yue didn't understand what Su Yuanzhou meant, and Su Yuanzhou didn't explain.
After changing his clothes, he took Shen Yue to the plum garden where Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian lived.
It was Shen Yue’s first time to visit Prince Ning’s Mansion, and everything she saw seemed new to her.
From time to time, servants stopped and saluted the two of them.
Shen Yue obviously had not yet gotten used to the title of princess. Every time she was called princess, she felt a little excited.
Su Yuanzhou naturally took Shen Yue's hand, and the two of them held hands with their fingers interlocked.
Noticing that Shen Yue's palms were sweaty, Su Yuanzhou turned around and teased, "Nervous?"
Shen Yue pursed her lips and nodded. Even though she knew her mother-in-law wouldn't make things difficult for her, she still couldn't control her nervousness.
Su Yuanzhou gently scratched her palm and said, "Don't be nervous. Qingyu is here too. She came back early this morning."
Shen Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, "Third Aunt is here?"
Su Yuanzhou's face twisted for a moment. His entire generation was in chaos.
When they arrived at the Plum Garden, Lin Wanyin, Bai Sulian, and Lin Wanli were already seated in the hall. Su Qingyu, Su Shunci, and Lin Wuchen were chatting with the elders.
Today, Shen Yue was wearing a light blue moonlit dress and two white jade hairpins on her head.
Su Yuanzhou was wearing a dark black brocade robe with dark patterns, and a jade pendant with glazed patterns around his waist.
Su Qingyu's lips curled up unconsciously. Such a perfect couple standing together was a pleasure to look at.
Servants prepared a futon and tea. Shen Yue and Su Yuanzhou walked forward and knelt in front of Lin Wanyin.
Shen Yue was nervous, but her manner of greeting was dignified and graceful, and it was obvious that she had good manners and upbringing.
She called out "Mother" and respectfully handed over the tea in her hand.
Lin Wanyin responded, took the teacup and took a sip.
Then he personally took a nanmu box beside him and handed it to Shen Yue.
"Mother knows you're not short of good things. This is a pair of rubies, quite different from the ones we see every day. Keep them for making jewelry."
Shen Yue took it with both hands and was helped up by her maid Qiu Tong.
Lin Wanyin motioned for her to take a look, and Shen Yue didn't hesitate to open the box.
Inside were two pigeon egg-sized rubies, but unlike the usual oval ones, they were multi-sided and angular, and the red inside was much redder than the rubies on the market.
I've never even seen anything like this, let alone bought it.
Shen Yue showed surprise on her face, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. Her mother-in-law was carefully preparing a gift for her.
Lin Wanyin explained, "Your uncle helped buy these. He said they were brought back from overseas. There are only these two."
Thinking of her two daughters sitting beside her, she hurriedly said to Su Qingyu and Su Shunci, "I'll give this pair of rubies to your sister-in-law, but I won't treat you unfairly. I'll open my small storehouse later, and you can go in and take your pick."
Su Qingyu and Su Shunci looked at each other and burst out laughing.
They are not children anymore, how can they pick on their mother because of two gems? They hope that their mother and Shen Yue will get along well and have a peaceful home.
Afterwards, Shen Yue presented gifts to Bai Sulian and Lin Wanli. Bai Sulian presented a pair of jade ruyi shaped like lotus flowers, both of which were of good quality and had good meanings. Lin Wanli presented a box of top-grade oriental pearls, which looked very valuable.
After the elders had paid their respects, Shen Yue walked up to Lin Wuchen, bowed, and called out, "Hello, cousin."
Su Shunci raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Wuchen, teasing: "What gift did Third Cousin prepare? If it's just an ordinary gift, we won't accept it."
Lin Wuchen rolled his eyes at her and said, "When will you change your nature of just watching the fun and not fearing trouble?"
Although his tone was didactic, there was a barely perceptible hint of fondness in his eyes.
Su Shunci snorted, "This is my sister-in-law, so I'm naturally on her side."
Shen Yue held Su Qingyu's shoulders, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist. She thought that the family recognition and tea ceremony would be respectful and solemn, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
At this moment, Su Yuanzhou and Su Qingyu were also looking at Lin Wuchen curiously, and he shook his head helplessly.
Then he slowly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, a piece of paper that looked ordinary.
"This isn't a wedding gift for my sister-in-law, but a wedding gift from me to you and your wife."
"Just like my aunt said, my sister-in-law has seen all kinds of good things. If I give her too little, I'll seem stingy, but if I give her too much, I'll feel bad."
He told jokes seriously, and everyone in the room laughed so hard that they fell over.
Su Yuanzhou reached out and grabbed the paper from his hand. "Let me see what it is. Is it worth it for you to bring it here in such a mysterious way?"
Su Yuanzhou took the paper in his hand, glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Third... Third cousin, you just said you wanted to give it to me as a gift, right? I don't have much money to give you right now."
Lin Wuchen smiled and punched him. "Don't pretend to be poor with me. Do you think you can't come up with the silver? But this is indeed a gift. I, your cousin, don't want a single penny from you."
Su Qingyu leaned over curiously, "The deed to the mountain outside Beijing?"
When the Su family wanted to buy this mountain, Lin Wuchen offered 200,000 taels of silver. But today, he gave it to Su Yuanzhou without saying a word.
Of course, this was something Lin Wuchen had decided long ago, but he was just taking advantage of today's opportunity to give it to Su Yuanzhou.
Su Yuanzhou took the land deed without hesitation.
From an outsider's perspective, he was now the main pillar of the Su family. The issue of the mountain and the ancestral tomb should indeed be resolved.
After Shen Yue greeted the elders, Su Qingyu and Su Shunci stepped forward to pay their respects to their sister-in-law. It wasn't so much a formality as a family frolic. Shen Yue had actually prepared gifts for the two, and they happily accepted them.
