"If we wait until the Imperial Observatory sets the date before making preparations, will it still be in time?!"
Xun Yunge continued to direct the maids and servants in the mansion to prepare various things.
This is her first time being a mother and preparing for a wedding. There are still many things to decide, and she needs to consult the elders in her family.
She recalled how young she was when she married Jin Xiaoran, and now her son is about to get married.
Time flies!
[Once Jinzhi's wedding is over, we'll have to start making arrangements for Zhuangzhuang's child.]
Once both children are married, I'll be able to relax a bit.
Jin Xiaoran was speechless. He didn't understand why his usually gentle and virtuous wife was speaking to him so impatiently today.
It's just a wedding, wearing a bright red wedding robe, why are you so nervous?
Seeing that he couldn't help either, Jin Xiaoran shook his head and walked to the kitchen, preparing to wash his hands and cook soup himself.
"Madam has been feeling irritable lately, so we need to make some cooling soup."
...
Meanwhile, things were also bustling with activity inside the Prince of Jibei's residence.
Uncle Fu, the steward of the Prince of Jibei's mansion, brought back several sets of jewelry from Baixiang Pavilion, intending to show them to Jin Jinzhi.
These sixty sets of jewelry are not yet fully completed. Uncle Fu brought back a few sets for Jin Jinzhi to check the style and quality, and to see if there are any adjustments needed.
"Your Highness, this set of thousand-petal gold jewelry and this set of fragrant wood and pearl jewelry, this old servant thinks they are quite nice."
These two sets of jewelry have completely different styles. The set with Thousand Leaves Gold looks luxurious and dazzling, while the set with Fragrant Wood and Pearls is more calm and restrained, with a gentler glow.
“These are all very suitable for a princess.”
Jin Jinzhi looked at the several sets of jewelry on the table and nodded: "Hmm, they look alright."
He picked up a necklace and a hairpin, weighed them in his hands, and then said, "Tell the people from Baixiang Pavilion not to make them too heavy."
"It's too heavy, and it's not comfortable to wear."
Uncle Fu nodded. "Yes, Your Highness, this old servant understands."
After examining the jewelry, Uncle Fu carefully put it away.
"By the way, Uncle Fu, prepare the estate, shops, land deeds, house deeds, keys, and the household account books."
Jin Jinzhi wondered if there was anything she had forgotten.
"These things will all be given to Duoduo after she gets married."
After Yun Duoduo married into the family, she became his princess, the mistress of the Jibei Prince's Mansion, and she was responsible for managing all the affairs of the mansion.
The money and property deeds should naturally be handed over to her as well.
"This old servant understands. Because there are many estates and the accounts are scattered, it will take some time to sort them out."
"This old servant has already instructed a reliable person to retrieve the accounts and money."
"After this old servant has sorted everything out, I will hand it over to Your Highness for counting."
Uncle Fu could tell from their interactions over the past few days that the prince valued his future princess very much.
"Yes, I'm at ease leaving it in your hands."
"elder brother!"
As Jin Jinzhi and Uncle Fu were talking, Jin Zhuangzhuang's voice came from the doorway.
"Brother, you're really awesome! You proposed right away, I support you!"
"His Majesty is truly amazing! I begged His Majesty for a favor, and he actually granted it!"
Jin Zhuangzhuang originally thought that after Yun Duoduo moved to a different residence, it would be difficult to see her again. But now that she has married his brother, they are family, and it will be much easier to meet in the future.
After Yun Duoduo moved out, Jin Zhuangzhuang returned to the Jin residence.
"Zhuangzhuang, you and Duoduo are not much different in age, and you'll be of marriageable age soon too."
"Do you have someone you love? If you've taken a fancy to any young master, I'll put in a good word for you."
Jin Jinzhi looked at her younger sister; in the blink of an eye, she had grown up so much.
Although Jin Zhuangzhuang was a bit ugly when she was little and her skin was wrinkled, she has grown up now and has the quirky and clever look of a young girl.
"Bro, really, how can the woman take the initiative first?"
Jin Zhuangzhuang pursed her lips and sighed inwardly, feeling that she wouldn't get married so easily.
She loves insects so much and spends her days with birds and beasts; I doubt anyone could tolerate that about her.
"Your Highness, the Left Prime Minister's birthday is approaching. What gift should we prepare?"
Cao Canjun stepped over the stairs and entered the front hall.
Jin Zhuangzhuang breathed a sigh of relief, thanking Military Advisor Cao for interrupting their conversation and shifting the topic from her marriage to the Left Prime Minister's birthday banquet.
The Left Chancellor Xue Guangjin's birthday celebration will be held at the Xue residence, where colleagues and friends from the capital will be invited. Jin Jinzhi will naturally also be going to the Xue residence to offer her birthday wishes to Xue Guangjin.
"The Left Prime Minister..."
Jin Jinzhi thought of Xue Guangjin and Xue Deyi, then looked at Jin Zhuangzhuang, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
Although Xue Deyi is a bit arrogant and likes to show off, he's actually a really good person.
The Xue family also came from a military background; they were skilled in martial arts and didn't have many hidden agendas, so we'd definitely get along well.
"Zhuangzhuang, you're just sitting around at home with nothing to do anyway, so why don't you go and pick out a congratulatory gift for the Left Prime Minister when you have some free time?"
Jin Jinzhi said calmly.
"Huh? Brother? How am I supposed to know how to choose a gift for the old man?!"
Jin Zhuangzhuang spread her hands, seemingly protesting her brother's feeble request.
"Zhuangzhuang, how can you talk like that? You can't be so rude."
"How can you say the Left Prime Minister is an old man?"
"Brother, he definitely is!"
"Even in terms of age..."
Jin Jinzhi felt a little regretful. He hadn't been there to teach Jin Zhuangzhuang when she was young, and now she was so disrespectful, all because he, as her older brother, hadn't taught her well.
"The Left Prime Minister is a veteran of three reigns and a top-notch minister in the court. You should speak respectfully to your elders, as if you were choosing a birthday gift for your grandfather."
Jin Jinzhi looked at Jin Zhuangzhuang seriously, "Why is a young lady so impetuous? She got anxious after only saying two words."
"On the day of the Left Prime Minister's birthday banquet, you will go with me. It's time for you to broaden your horizons."
"Huh? I want to go too?!"
Jin Zhuangzhuang thought he would just pick out a gift, but he didn't expect to have to give a gift to the old man. Listening to the pretentious words of those pedantic intellectuals, Jin Zhuangzhuang looked very unwilling.
"You've been in the palace for too long; you don't recognize many of the young ladies and gentlemen in the capital."
"What will you do after you marry into your husband's family?"
Seeing Jin Zhuangzhuang's displeasure, Jin Jinzhi had no choice but to bring up Yun Duoduo. He knew that his younger sister always cared about her Duoduo and followed her lead.
"I'm about to marry your sister Duo, and I'm busy preparing for the wedding. I don't have time to deal with these things."
"All right."
Jin Zhuangzhuang nodded helplessly.
[Forget it, Sister Duo's wedding is more important. Brother, you should focus on preparing for her wedding.]
[Should I start calling her "sister-in-law" from now on?]
