The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law accompanied each other and sat in her luxurious carriage. The curtains on the carriage were strung with pearls, and golden bells were hung on the four corners of the carriage, which made crisp sounds when the wind blew.
Inside the carriage, the floor was covered with white fox fur, and the cushion under the buttocks was also made of warm leather. A faint fragrance was burning on the small coffee table, which was refreshing to smell. Next to the incense burner were some snacks, tea, and dried fruits.
Han Ruyue looked at her daughter-in-law's awkwardness and smiled: "Do I look difficult to get along with?"
"No!"
"Then why are you so nervous?!"
Ke Xin hesitated: "You are my elder and my mother-in-law. Sometimes I speak without thinking and my words may hurt others, so..."
Since ancient times, hasn't it been said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies? How can the mother-in-law be in a good mood when she takes away someone else's son?
However, after she finished speaking, Han Ruyue burst into laughter: "You are a good child in every way, but you think too much, which will make you age quickly!"
After that, she picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to Ke Xin: "I don't come from a wealthy family."
"My father was the top scholar in the imperial examination, but he couldn't stand the intrigues and deceptions in the court, so he resigned after one year and became a teacher. He was quite famous in the capital."
Ke Xin knew that her grandfather was a teacher, but Fei Yang did not explain that her grandfather was a top scholar. She listened carefully to her mother-in-law's narration of the past.
"Everyone in the capital says we're a family of scholars, but my father was born into a farming family. He didn't come from a poor background, so how could he be as noble and upright as some people say? They praise my father on the surface, but they look down on him behind his back!"
After studying hard in the cold classroom, he could have soared to the top with just one move, but because he couldn't stand those treacherous people, he resigned from his official position to become a teacher. Such a person's character cannot be very bad.
After saying that, Han Ruyue's lips curled up. "I thought I would find someone with great talent, but unfortunately, I was robbed while burning incense. Your father-in-law saw me and saved me. At that time, he was very handsome, very masculine, and very cold."
Han Ruyue's smile never ceased as she recalled the past. Ke Xin listened quietly, imagining the scene when her in-laws first met.
"I fell in love with him at first sight, but he despised my flowery, flowery language. He just said, 'I just saw something unfair, don't blame me, girl.' And then he left." Han Ruyue laughed, "You don't know, all the onlookers laughed at me."
"But I didn't care. I asked around and found out he was the son of the merchant Liu family, so I started pursuing him..."
Well, this is a story about a girl chasing a boy, and it is also a romantic love story, but compared to the love between herself and her mother-in-law, it seems that hers is too bland.
"What I'm telling you today is that I don't judge people by appearances, but by their hearts. Even if you say something wrong, I won't hold it against you, and I won't look down on you just because you come from a farming family. On the contrary, I have great respect for farmers."
After saying that, he squeezed Kexin's hand and said, "I know you are a good child, smart, courageous, and not someone who would be content to be trapped in the backyard. Do whatever you want, and your father-in-law and I will not object."
"Our family isn't one of those that follow rules. We don't have those rules and regulations. Just remember to take care of yourselves!"
Kexin was deeply touched by these words. She was very grateful for her mother-in-law's understanding: "Thank you, mother. I will take good care of myself and my husband. Please rest assured, mother, I will not do anything out of line."
"I believe you!"
Just three words showed Han Ruyue's attitude towards her.
Ding dang dang!
Aunt Qiao's voice came: "Madam, we've arrived at the fur shop!"
Ke Xin opened the door of the carriage, got out of the car, turned around and helped her mother-in-law get out. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked into the shop chatting and laughing. Outsiders could not tell that they were a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all. Instead, they looked more like mother and daughter.
In the fur shop, some furs were placed on the counter. When the shopkeeper saw Han Ruyue coming, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Hello, Madam, hello, Madam! We have prepared the furs for you to choose from!"
Han Ruyue nodded: "Xin'er, this is in our own fur shop, take a look and see if there is anything you like!"
Today is the first time you know that the Liu family shop is also involved in the leather business. She looked at the leathers displayed on the counter, white fox, red fox, wolf skin, tiger skin, and mink skin of various colors. There was no stray hair on each piece, and they felt soft and comfortable to the touch.
Since she already had a red fox cloak, she naturally wouldn't choose this one, but she wanted to make a black mink waistcoat, and the white fox fur could be used to make a cape.
As for the tiger skin thing... forget it!
"Boss, I want to make a white fox cloak and a black mink waistcoat!"
The shopkeeper responded quickly: "Okay, I'll send someone over in a moment."
"I'm going to make some mink hand warmers for the young lady, and a scarf made of various leathers, and the boots must be made of sheepskin, and the colors must be different."
After Ke Xin finished speaking, Han Ruyue added a sentence. Ke Xin thought it was a bit too much, but she replied domineeringly: "If I wasn't afraid that you wouldn't be used to it, I would definitely make all the leather here for you. I have been very restrained!"
Aunt Qiao agreed with a smile, "Madam has been much more restrained today. In the past, she wouldn't have sold these fine leathers, she would have worn them all herself!"
It turns out that people with money are all arrogant!
Ke Xin laughed and nodded, letting her mother-in-law decide.
After visiting the fur store, she went to the jewelry store. As expected, this jewelry store also belonged to the Liu family, and she found that she didn't need to bring money when going out.
There were many things she liked about jewelry, but she really didn't like these heavy hair accessories. They were heavy and not easy to wear. However, she liked the sparkling diamonds.
This time, her mother-in-law didn't say anything. She picked out some diamond jewelry, but her mother-in-law frowned: "What's so good about this stone? It's not as beautiful as gemstones."
"Mom, I like this, it's so shiny and beautiful!"
Han Ruyue took a look at it. It looked nice, but the color was too plain. Who would wear it if they were not in mourning? So she waved her hand and said, "Send the latest style to Liu's house."
The shopkeeper didn't dare to complain and immediately bowed and said, "I'll send someone to deliver it right away!"
Ke Xin saw that there were not just a few items on the trays, but dozens. She laughed and said, "Mom, we can't take all these things with us. It would be a waste to keep them at home. It would be a pity if they were covered in dust. Why not sell them to beautiful girls? Wouldn't they be more valuable?"
"Besides, there aren't many good-looking pieces of jewelry. Why don't I go back and design a few sets for you and have the craftsmen make them? I guarantee your jewelry will never be the same as anyone else's. Then I'll design you some new clothes. We don't want too much, but they must be exquisite."
