The pearl production in the Zhou Dynasty was limited, and most of it was in the hands of the aristocratic families.
The ones Chi Xingyue gave away were all the size of a fingernail.
Although it was artificially cultivated in later generations, it is round and has no flaws. It looks more beautiful than the naturally formed ones.
Tong Sinian liked it immediately, thanked Chi Xingyue, and gave her the specialties she brought from Shouzhou.
"It's not a valuable thing, I hope my second sister-in-law likes it!"
Chi Xingyue accepted it with a smile, and chatted with him in Rongsiyuan for a while. Then, he used the excuse of being tired and was helped away by Ling Jiheng.
After everyone left, Liang Zhijun reminded her new daughter-in-law about Chi Xingyue's special status in this family.
Keep her close to you and try not to offend her.
Tong Sinian was curious, but he didn't dare to ask directly. He nodded to show that he understood.
When the new bride was brought in, the third room was filled with laughter.
Especially since the young couple is so sweet together, Liang Zhijun feels that she will have a grandson soon.
Tong Sinian also felt that she had not married the wrong person.
It was only when she arrived in the provincial capital that she realized that the Ling family was once the richest family in Jiangnan.
Although I don’t do much business nowadays, all my sons at home are outstanding.
She was afraid that the old lady would look down on her for her low social status, but after getting married she realized she was overthinking it.
The Ling family treated everyone equally and didn't have any messy rules. She had been truly happy these past few days.
I just miss my parents who are far away in Shouzhou.
Ling Jiheng left the day after the wedding and returned to Changhe Academy.
I brought some wine, meat, candy and cakes for the teacher and classmates.
Several people were warmly welcomed into the classroom, and in less than half an hour, all the things were snatched away.
Ling Jiheng chuckled as he watched everyone playing around. He thought to himself how the innocence of his student days really made him nostalgic.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to return home after three days of mourning. After a crazy night, Tong Sinian got up and stood at the window with a sad look on his face.
The journey from the provincial capital to Shouzhou is at least ten days.
It's so far away, it's not realistic to go back to visit my parents. I can only ask the guards and servants to send some gifts home.
So that her parents know that her husband's family treats her well and they don't have to worry.
When Ling Jihao woke up and found that there was no one around him, he stood up and hugged Tong Sinian from behind.
The voice was hoarse and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Tong Sinian said nothing, and gently stroked the back of his hand with his fingertips.
Ling Jihao kissed her cheek: "Let's go, my husband will take you out shopping!"
Tong Sinian was very cooperative and went to wash up with a smile. He was also very considerate and helped Ling Jihao change his clothes.
After enjoying the emperor-like treatment for a few days, Ling Jihao felt that getting married was the most wonderful thing in the world.
No wonder those soldiers keep talking about "a wife, children and a warm bed", they are really obsessed with it!
The young couple put on new clothes and stepped out of this spring-filled house for the first time since their marriage.
Tong Sinian got in the car, opened the curtain, and asked curiously, "Why is there a car following behind?"
Ling Jihao pretended to glance at it and said with a smile, "Maybe he went out to buy some goods!"
Tong Sinian nodded and didn't care.
As a result, the car followed closely and finally stopped in front of a house.
Tong Sinian was full of confusion, thinking, isn't this the house where she got married? Why is she here?
Ling Jihao took her hand and knocked on the door calmly. After a moment, the door creaked open and Tong Sinian's eyes widened in shock.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
Tong Guitang welcomed the two of them in with a smile, and Mrs. Tong served tea and poured water.
Neither of them looked at the gifts in the car. They looked at the girl they hadn't seen for more than half a month with red eyes.
Looking at her complexion, they knew without asking that she was doing well. The old couple felt relieved.
"Son-in-law, my daughter has never seen much of the world. Please bear with me from now on!"
It was only after Tong Guitang came to the provincial capital that he realized the gap between his family and the Ling family.
But my daughter is already married, I can't take her back. Besides, so many people are envious of this marriage.
Ling Jihao nodded: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will help Si Nian integrate into the city environment as soon as possible."
After saying that, he added, "I won't let her suffer any injustice."
The two stayed in the house until evening, and Tong Sinian left reluctantly.
On the way, she asked, "When did you bring my parents here? Didn't they say they couldn't come?"
Ling Jihao chuckled, "As soon as we left, my father-in-law and mother-in-law caught up. But the old couple are old, so they traveled slowly on the road. They only arrived in the city yesterday evening."
Tong Sinian was moved and kissed Ling Jihao: "Husband, thank you!"
Ling Jihao rubbed her little head and said, "This won't do. Let's go home and discuss this in depth!"
Tong Sinian glared at Ling Jihao but did not refuse.
After returning home, we had fun all night and then went about our own business the next day.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty does not plan to go to war in the short term, the brothers Ling Jiren and Ling Jihao cannot collect salaries without doing anything, and they still have to work every day.
On the one hand, I have to help out at home and take care of some chores.
On the other hand, we need to go to the surrounding military camps for training.
It's quite tiring to go out early and come back late.
But he has a beautiful daughter-in-law waiting for him at home, and both of them are full of energy every day.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Chi Xingyue's spiritual spring water.
Under her management, everyone in the Ling family is in good health and enjoys everything they eat.
Even the vegetables grown are exceptionally sweet, forcing vegetable stores to limit their sales.
After the third wife's wedding is over, it's time to get ready for the first wife's wedding.
The Ling family had no plans for a grand wedding, but when their neighbors found out, they came to inquire about the details.
The main reason was that they were too curious about what this concubine looked like, which made Ling Jiren risk being exiled to make her his wife.
When I met her, I found that she was not very good-looking, but really gentle.
Especially his attitude towards his legitimate sons and daughters is truly admirable.
If it were someone else, every concubine would either be flattered or hated.
But Wan Chunqin is different. She is close to and respectful to the legitimate sons and daughters left by her two first wives.
You mean overpraising? That's impossible!
Ling Mingyue has made his mark in the academy. Although he is a young boy, he is quite talented.
If the concubine had done something bad, how could she have been brought up to be so outstanding.
As for Ling Weiwei, although she has never participated in a poetry or flower viewing event, she has already become famous.
Well-educated and well-mannered, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Many people thought that the Ling family wanted to send Weiwei to the palace.
Only the Ling family knew that they had never had such thoughts at all.
Otherwise, why bother to go far away instead of near?
Ji Ran is such a grown-up girl, she can marry anyone, why does she have to marry the unknown Huang Minbo?
Don’t you think so?
The ceremony ended smoothly and Aunt Wan was successfully promoted to the eldest lady.
Chi Xingyue also gave a string of pearls, but they were not white.
She saw a lavender pearl necklace on the jewelry counter, took it down, wrapped it, and gave it to her new sister-in-law as a gift.
Despite the change of identity, Wan Chunqin remains humble.
Especially in front of Chi Xingyue, he always felt inferior to her.
But it didn't matter, Chi Xingyue had a good temper. She accepted the gift with a smile and gave him two small clothes she had sewn herself in return.
