After finishing the fish porridge, Pei Yanzhi also came from the study, and the two walked towards the Wen family's courtyard.
The Marquis's residence was quite large. It had snowed last night, and many servants were shoveling snow. They all bowed to Pei Yanzhi and Jiang Shuwan when they saw them.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Greetings, Lady Heir."
He bowed while stealing glances at Jiang Shuwan.
These are all low-ranking servants, out of touch with the outside world.
Everyone thought that Jiang Shuwan had some extraordinary talent, which was why the Crown Prince had taken a liking to her and made her his wife.
They were very curious and all looked at Jiang Shuwan.
Then they saw a white ball of fur, completely covered from head to toe except for its eyes, walking beside the prince.
"?"
This, this, this white ball is actually the Crown Prince's wife?
The servants were utterly astonished.
As servants of the Marquis's mansion, they had seen a lot of the world, including countless young ladies and wives.
Such a wife is the first of her kind.
Wrapped up like a ball, that's so ungraceful and doesn't look elegant at all...
The servant had a strange expression.
Jiang Shuwan pretended not to see it.
She doesn't care about style, she cares about warmth.
Modern aristocratic women are all very refined; even in the dead of winter, when their faces turn blue from the cold, they are unwilling to put on an extra layer of clothing.
They were afraid that if they dressed too bulkily, they would lose their elegance and grace.
Unfortunately, the temperature is low in this era.
It snowed heavily all night yesterday, and Jiang Shuwan is more sensitive to the cold than most people.
It was cold in the morning, and the cold wind felt like knives scraping my face and then blowing down my neck.
Unable to bear it any longer, she covered herself completely with the hood of her cloak, leaving only her eyes showing to see where she was going.
She was also holding a hand warmer.
Getting up to go to work in the dead of winter is inhuman!
Jiang Shuwan silently complained in her heart, feeling as if she had returned to her school and work days, filled with resentment towards getting up early in winter.
The green apricot was also filled with resentment.
Her thoughts were similar to others; they all felt that a lady from a noble family should be elegant.
However, she was wholeheartedly devoted to Jiang Shuwan, and upon seeing the servants' gazes, she immediately glared back fiercely.
Qingxing's raised eyebrows and glare were quite intimidating, and the servants quickly shrank back.
Green apricot is really capable!
Jiang Shuwan strolled along leisurely, holding a hand warmer.
As she walked and strolled, she kept stealing glances at Pei Yanzhi beside her.
"What?" Pei Yanzhi noticed her gaze.
"It's nothing." Jiang Shuwan looked away.
Pei Yanzhi's expression was the same as usual. Jiang Shuwan was wrapped up like a ball, which made her look very unrefined as the wife of a prince.
Most men would be upset if their wives embarrassed them, especially in this era where male chauvinism is rampant.
Pei Yanzhi, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened.
The young boss seems like a nice guy.
Jiang Shuwan silently gave Pei Yanzhi a thumbs up.
The third skill for workplace survival is to not blindly follow your boss after finding the right one, and not be afraid to do this or that.
To save face for the boss, I kept compromising myself, and ended up becoming the boss's tool.
You need to test your boss's limits from time to time and find the most comfortable way of life within those limits.
We came here to work, but also to live.
If life consists only of grueling labor, then it's better not to do it at all.
Although they had only just met, Jiang Shuwan felt that Pei Yanzhi, this small business owner, was quite to her liking.
I hope they can get along this harmoniously in the future.
Soon, they arrived at the Wen family's courtyard.
At this moment, in the Wen family courtyard.
Besides the maids and servants who attended to her, there were two women dressed in fine clothes, who were the third and fourth wives of the Wen family.
Noble families rarely split up; the wealthier they are, the more likely they are to live together as a family of relatives.
Of course, this only applies to relatively close relatives.
Currently, the Marquis's mansion has four branches. The eldest branch inherited the title, while the second branch's lineage holds official positions outside the mansion, and the whole family has gone with them.
The third and fourth wives both lived in the Marquis's residence.
Today, Jiang Shuwan, as the new daughter-in-law, is here to pay her respects to her mother-in-law. The third and fourth wives and other elders are also required to be present.
The third and fourth wives also had nannies accompanying them.
At this moment, there were about twenty people in the room, including masters and servants.
When the old woman guarding the gate saw Jiang Shuwan and Pei Yanzhi arrive, she quickly lifted the curtain and invited them in.
As soon as Jiang Shuwan stepped inside, all eyes were on her.
The room was filled with masters, servants, and maids all scrutinizing the newly appointed Lady of the Heir Apparent.
She seemed to be very afraid of the cold, wearing a thick, snow-white fox fur hooded cloak, and holding a gilded bronze hand warmer with intertwined peach blossoms in her hand.
She was extremely polite. As soon as she entered the room, she handed the hand warmer to the old woman next to her and then took off her cloak with the help of her personal maid.
Throughout this, every movement she made, every gesture, was methodical and extremely smooth, making it a pleasure to watch.
"Not bad, not bad."
"His demeanor was neither hurried nor slow, and his manners were quite good."
The third and fourth wives, who were staring at her, both nodded.
All the people in the room, more than a dozen pairs of eyes, were staring at Jiang Shuwan. Most young wives would be flustered in such a sight.
Jiang Shuwan, however, was graceful and composed.
As soon as the cloak was removed, Jiang Shuwan's full attire was revealed.
She was wearing a long, peach-pink dress embroidered with intertwined flower petals made of Shu brocade, and a pair of exquisitely beautiful peach-shaped gold earrings inlaid with gemstones.
A peach blossom tassel hairpin with several pink pearls was inserted into her hair.
The hairpin is the main ornament, and the pink pearl looks like a small flower bud on the girl's head. They complement each other and enhance each other's beauty.
"What a beautiful outfit."
Everyone gasped.
Outside, it was the dead of winter with heavy snow, but when she came in, her pink dress brought a touch of spring to the room.
For a moment, I even had the illusion that winter wasn't so cold after all.
Moreover, her headdress, earrings, hand warmer, and clothes were all matching.
Not only is the outfit well-coordinated, but the materials of the clothes and the jewelry beads are also of excellent quality.
Exquisite, yet understated.
It's important to know that pink dresses and accessories can easily look too flashy if you're not careful.
In a noble family like the Marquis's mansion, being flamboyant is not a good thing; it would make one appear frivolous.
Jiang Shuwan's outfit was just right.
"The Crown Prince's wife looks beautiful in that dress."
"Exquisite and beautiful, it is a sight to behold."
"With such refined taste, one would never guess that the daughter of a mere fifth-rank official is from a family of only five-rank officials."
Everyone was shocked, especially the third and fourth wives.
Their families did not hold high official positions, so when they married into the Marquis's mansion, they inevitably showed their inexperience. Their clothes and jewelry were fine, but it was not something that could be learned in a short time.
Jiang Shuwan's outfit and jewelry were perfectly matched; there wasn't a single flaw.
The third and fourth wives were all amazed.
Then, he turned his gaze to Jiang Shuwan's face.
She had a small, delicate face with exquisite features, and her eyes were sparkling as if they held a layer of light, leaving anyone who looked at her stunned.
