Something that should have been in the Prince's Mansion suddenly appeared here, and it was the relic of his deceased biological mother.
Who would believe that this was not done without Yan Zhuo's instruction?
The ladies couldn't help but think sourly in their hearts, what's so good about Jiang Ying that how could he charm Prince Yan into this state?
It must be because of the child!
If they had known that Prince Yan was such a child slave, they wouldn't have talked about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and would have just attacked him directly!
However, no matter what these girls think, the matter is now done, Jiang Ying has transformed herself into the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family and the future consort of the clan, and she is still in the Jiang family. Even if they feel unwilling in their hearts, they dare not say it out loud like they did in the Prince Qin's Mansion.
I heard that Meng Niaoniao went home yesterday with an inflamed esophagus and couldn't even swallow porridge or water.
They really can't afford such consequences!
…
"Sister Ying, come here. Great Grandfather has some gifts too. Originally, the clan should have sent a few more people, your cousins, but the rainy season is the best time to grow rice seedlings. The tenants like to slack off, so they need someone to watch over them, so they can't spare the time. But everyone is thinking about you, so we prepared some gifts and asked Great Grandfather to bring them to you."
Jiang Pinhuai unfolded a pull-out box as he spoke, and inside it were sachets, jade pendants, hairpins, and silk flowers, filling the box with a dazzling array of things.
It may seem inconspicuous at first glance, but in fact the stitching of the sachet is dense and solid, the jade pendant is emerald green and translucent, the gold hairpin is bright yellow and is as good as the best in the capital, and the silk flowers are layered and lifelike, just like the real thing!
Jiang Ying could tell at a glance that these cousins, whom he had never met before, were probably all accomplished craftsmen.
The second and third branches of the Jiang family have connections in the salt and mining industries. They are not as powerful and impressive as the first branch, but they are definitely not in dire straits.
Jiang Ying had just accepted the gift from Grandpa Taizu, and over there, Jiang Shang and the old lady also took out their own.
"Father and Mother prepared sixteen gifts for Yingying, to make up for the sixteen years our sister Ying missed."
As Jiang Shang spoke, he opened the box. From the golden lock for peace at the age of one, to the peace and good fortune at the age of two, the blessing bag at the age of three, the diamond-shaped mirror at the age of four, the peace buckle at the age of five, the jade chain at the age of six, the aromatherapy cream at the age of seven, the gold bracelet at the age of eight, the South Pearl necklace at the age of nine, the tourmaline earrings at the age of ten... all the way to the age of sixteen, it almost encompassed a little girl's yearning and expectation from childhood to adulthood.
Jiang Ying held it in his hand, and his nose felt slightly sore and inexplicably heavy.
It has to be said that Jiang Shang understood the little girl. He even said that the gift was sent by both his father and mother to help her feel better.
Can Luo actually remember her?
At this moment, he was clearly staying by Jiang Yilin's side, comforting her not to be sad about recognizing her ancestors.
Because even if she regained her status as a legitimate daughter, it would not affect the existence of her adopted daughter.
However, at such a happy moment, Jiang Ying didn't want to dwell on it. He smiled and nodded to accept it. "People say that my father is a daughter slave. I didn't believe it at first, but after receiving this box of gifts today, I finally believe it.
"Because if I hadn't loved Sister Lin from the bottom of my heart, I certainly wouldn't know what little girls love most at every age. Am I right, father?"
She spoke in a gentle voice, had a lively expression, and her clothes made her look extremely bright and stunning.
So it sounds like there is no ulterior motive in these words, they are just frank and openly stated.
Some ladies sitting below watching the ceremony couldn't help but praise her after hearing this, "She is indeed the true eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Her heart and mind are just like her father and grandmother. She is really admirable."
"Of course, otherwise, would we be like some small sects, hiding from everyone?"
With just one sentence, he belittled Jiang Yilin and didn't take the Luo family seriously.
Jiang Shang touched his nose embarrassedly, regretting that he was so careless. Even a gift made his own daughter so sad.
After making up your mind, you need to have the opportunity and choose the gift more carefully.
When Nanny Tang handed the old lady's gift to Jiang Ying, it felt heavy. She deliberately smiled and pressed Jiang Ying's hand.
Jiang Ying immediately understood that this could not be opened.
It was a heavy box. Her grandmother couldn’t have given her stones, so it could only be gold!
Thinking of the 50,000 taels of silver notes that she gave him last time, Jiang Ying was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This old lady really has a lot of money.
He wasn't afraid that she would be targeted by robbers!
After collecting the old lady's money, there were still four people queuing up in the audience.
Two maids, a servant and a guard.
Jiang Ying was undoubtedly familiar with them all: Yu Wu beside his eldest brother, Xue Zhi beside his second brother, Feng Li beside his third brother, and Qi Ren beside Yan Zhuo.
Qi Ren was wrapped in black, his face was as cold as ice, and he refused to be looked at by anyone.
Then they walked over slowly one by one. The eldest brother gave them a small crossbow with a note on it: No matter when and where, protect yourself, your life is the most important.
The gift from the second brother was a wooden doll depicting Jiang Ying sitting in a pavilion barbecuing.
There was also a note: Now that the ceremony is over and the sun is rising, I hope you will stick to your childhood aspirations, spread your wings and fly, be self-disciplined and prudent, be diligent and frugal, be kind, gentle, respectful and polite, and cultivate yourself to be upright.
What my third brother gave me was the deed to a house.
The crooked handwriting is the ugliest: The cook from the Treasure Kitchen has been found. From now on, if you get tired of staying in the Duke’s Mansion any day, just run away to Feiyu’s house. But remember to let me go and have a meal with you!
Jiang Ying almost burst out laughing when he heard the last sentence.
The third brother was indeed the most mischievous and eccentric, but this gift pleased her the most.
People always want to have a little nest of their own no matter when and where they are, especially since she had been living in Yan Zhuo's house before. Although Yan Zhuo had never driven her away, she still didn't feel as safe as living in her own house.
