Chapter 791: Full of Blessings
As the wedding day draws closer, Daohua, who had always been calm, begins to get nervous.
When she thought about leaving the Yan family and marrying into a new family, Daohua felt a little scared and uneasy.
Mrs. Li saw that her daughter finally looked like a newlywed and couldn't help but laugh. "I thought she wouldn't be nervous. Listen to what she said before: getting married is just a change of place to eat and sleep. Look how simple and easy it sounded. Now that the end is here, she's still not calm."
Ping Xiao and Ping Tong both covered their mouths and laughed.
In mid-November, Gu Jian sent Dongli to deliver twenty loads of things to Yan's house, saying that it was a dowry prepared for Daohua.
Mrs. Li looked at the things Gu Jian sent, feeling both happy and troubled.
She had inquired about it. When Luo Qiong married into Prince Ping's mansion, her dowry was 120 sets. She prepared this amount for her daughter.
Now that the old man has added twenty more carriages, the number of dowry tables has exceeded the limit.
"Let's reorganize Yiyi's dowry and compact every piece."
"Second sister, I heard that the Yan family prepared 120 sets of dowry for the Princess of Shengping County. Is that true?"
On November 20th, Mrs. Han brought Han Xinman to add beautification to the rice flowers. After meeting Old Lady Yan and Mrs. Li, the two went to Han Xinran's yard.
Han Xinran nodded without elaborating.
Madam Han sighed, "I never thought your in-laws had amassed so much wealth. The dowry for Princess Shengping is not much different from what a noble family would give their daughter."
Han Xinran didn't want to talk more about Daohua's dowry, so she smiled and changed the subject.
Madam Han: "By the way, has the perfect match been found for Princess Shengping's wedding?"
Han Xinran: "My mother-in-law is in charge of this matter, I don't know much about it."
Madam Han looked at Han Xinran with disapproval: "You kid, how can you not care about such a thing? Send someone to find out quickly. If they can't find one, you can help your mother-in-law share her worries."
Han Xinran didn't move, but just said: "If mother-in-law needs my help, she will ask for it."
Han Xinman looked at Han Xinran and said earnestly, "Second sister, your attitude is unacceptable. As a daughter-in-law, we should be discerning and take the initiative to find things to do. How can we passively wait for our mother-in-law to arrange things for us?"
Mrs. Han took over the conversation: "Your elder sister is right. You have been like this since you were a child. If you are not urged, you will become lazy. Now that you are married, you are not allowed to be lazy and idle like you were at home."
Han Xinran was disgusted by her mother and elder sister's behavior of lecturing her at every turn, and her face turned cold.
Han Xinman noticed Han Xinran's impatience, glanced at Mrs. Han, and signaled her to stop talking.
Madam Han was a little displeased, but thinking of what Madam Han had told her before she left, she didn't say anything more. Instead, she stated the purpose of her visit today:
"It's not easy to find a perfect match. The Yan family has only just arrived in Beijing and don't have many good friends. Your second aunt is a good person. She has both parents alive, a son and a daughter, and she has a good relationship with your second uncle. You can talk to your mother-in-law and ask her to be the perfect match."
Hearing this, Han Xinran's face suddenly darkened, and she stood up in an instant: "Mother, how can you say that? Don't you really want me to have a good life in my husband's family?"
Mrs. Han's face darkened as well. "Why can't I bring myself to ask this? Could it be that your Second Aunt isn't worthy of being a blessed woman?"
Han Xinran was furious: "Do you think Second Aunt is worthy? My eldest sister is a county lady and is going to marry into the Prince Ping's mansion. Does Second Aunt have an imperial decree or a good reputation?"
It’s not that she looks down on Second Aunt, it’s just that Second Aunt has nothing to show for herself.
If she dared to mention this matter today, her mother-in-law would be extremely disappointed in her. No, not only her mother-in-law, she would offend the entire family.
Although the Han family is a house of earls, the second uncle has no honors or official positions. He usually just helps with some miscellaneous affairs in the mansion. The second aunt is called Madam by others, but it is only because of the face of the earl's mansion.
Letting such an ordinary person be the eldest sister's husband would be laughed at by not only the Yan family but also other families in the capital.
Mrs. Han was speechless when asked.
Han Xinman spoke up, looking at Han Xinran with dissatisfaction: "Second sister, how can you say that about Second Aunt? Don't forget, it was Second Uncle who ran all the way to Zhongzhou to help you find the Yan family, and later it was he who sent you off to get married."
Han Xinran's impatience reached its peak: "Sister, you don't need to remind me of these things. I have always remembered how good my second uncle was to me."
Mrs. Han: "Since you have kept it in mind, why don't you help your second aunt?"
Han Xinran no longer wanted to talk and sneered, "Letting Second Aunt be a full-fledged woman is helping her?"
Han Xinman: "Of course, you also know that the third and fourth sisters are going to get married. If Second Aunt can marry the Princess of Shengping County, it will be such an honor. Will the Earl's Mansion be flooded with people proposing marriages?"
A person with all the blessings represents good fortune.
In the capital, being someone's lucky charm is a matter of great honor, especially when a noble family marries off their daughter. Because there are many relatives and friends, it is an excellent way to spread one's reputation.
Their family is now increasingly unable to gain a foothold in the circle of nobles. Princess Shengping married into the royal family. If Second Aunt can become her perfect match, the Han family will undoubtedly be able to show off among the royal family and the homes of dukes and nobles.
If her parents' family is doing well, she will be more confident in her husband's family.
Seeing the complacent expressions on his mother and elder sister's faces, Han Xinran took a deep breath and ordered them to leave: "Mother, elder sister, I have something else to do here, so I won't keep you here for dinner."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Han and Han Xinman were both stunned.
Han Xinman looked at Han Xinran's cold face and sneered, "Why, second sister, now that you have an in-law, do you start to dislike me and mother?"
Han Xinran, who had not wanted to bring the matter to light, suddenly became furious when she heard this. She looked at Han Xinman and said, "Sister, what would you do if I went to your in-laws' house and gave them orders?"
Han Xinman's eyes flashed: "How could my mother and I be bossing you around? We're all doing this for your own good."
"For my own good?" Han Xinran laughed out loud. "Big sister, I'm not stupid. You're just unhappy because I'm living a better life with my husband's family than you are. So you want to cause trouble for me?"
"you"
Han Xinman looked at Han Xinran in a daze. She didn't expect that her true thoughts would be seen through.
Han Xinran: "Big sister, please put away your kindness, I don't need it." As she said that, she called over Nanny Han who came with the dowry.
"Mammy, please send mother and elder sister away." After saying that, she quickly walked out of the house.
Looking at her younger children walking away, and then at her eldest daughter whose eyes were red with anger, Mrs. Han opened her mouth, but in the end did not say a word to stop them.
She really didn't expect that her eldest daughter would have such an idea!
At the same time, in Old Lady Yan's room, Madam Li also turned her face coldly to Old Lady Yang: "Old Lady, I have already found a perfect match for my daughter, so you don't need to worry about it."
Old Mrs. Yang was stunned: "Who is more suitable than my eldest daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Li was so angry that she laughed.
It would be fine if some people didn't have self-awareness, but they were also extremely greedy.
For the sake of her sister-in-law, she didn't say anything about the Yang family taking advantage of the Yan family, but she really hated the habit of always wanting to take advantage of the Yan family.
Yan Siyu looked at the contempt and ridicule in her sister-in-law's eyes and felt extremely ashamed: "Sister-in-law, my mother-in-law was just joking with you." Before she left, her mother-in-law didn't tell her anything, because she knew that her parents didn't want to lose face.
Unfortunately, since it concerns Yi Yi, my mother and sister-in-law are unwilling to back down even a little.
Old Lady Yang knew that her family now had to rely on the Yan family. Seeing that Old Lady Yan and Madam Li were unhappy, she immediately changed the subject according to Yan Siyu's words.
"You must not choose the wrong in-laws for your children, otherwise you won't be able to get rid of them."
That evening, Madam Li went to Daohuaxuan and complained about the Han and Yang families recommending their own family members as the full-blessed people: "Fortunately, your sister-in-law didn't make a mistake this time."
Looking at the angry Madam Li, Daohua smiled and said, "That's because my mother and sister-in-law weren't decisive enough. If it were me, hum!"
Mrs. Li looked at her daughter's fierce look and laughed: "In the past, I thought you were a bit stubborn, but now I think it's better for a girl to be strong to avoid being bullied."
Daohua nodded in agreement: "Mom, who will you choose to be the one with the best fortune?"
Madam Li smiled and said, "Madam Yang."
Daohua paused: "Which Madam Yang?"
Madam Li: "Who else could it be? Of course it's Prime Minister Yang's wife."
Daohua was surprised: "How did you invite her?"
Mrs. Li was silent for a moment: "It was your future mother-in-law who helped invite them."
Daohua suddenly let out an "ah".
Madam Li continued, "It must be that Yeyang knew that our family didn't have many good friends in the capital, so he asked your future mother-in-law for help."
Daohua didn't think so, and it must be her future mother-in-law who took the initiative to help.
