Chapter 355 House Dowry
Jiang Hongyu looked at her depressedly: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Ye Mingzhu quickly waved her hand and changed the subject: "Did Uncle Yan say when he plans to get married? My uncle will get married in a while, and I want to go to the capital."
Since Lord Zheng said that he would not pursue the matter of her going to the shipwreck, her uncle must be fine. She estimated that she would receive a letter from her uncle in the next two days. Then, she and Yun'an would definitely go to her uncle's wedding.
My grandparents have passed away, and they are my uncle's only remaining relatives, so I have to go.
Thinking of her uncle, she remembered the coral she received in the space when she went to the capital last time. It seemed that she should find a chance to sell it, otherwise it would be a waste of time to keep it in the space.
An idea suddenly occurred to her: she could sell the coral to Lord Zheng, and it would probably fetch a much higher price than selling it to anyone else.
"Has Master Zheng left?"
Jiang Hongyu was still thinking about Uncle Yan and Aunt Jiang's marriage, and subconsciously answered, "Not yet."
Then he reacted: "Why are you asking Master Zheng?"
"I caught a coral from the sea before and wanted to give it to Lord Zheng." Ye Mingzhu didn't say she was selling it, but she believed Jiang Hongyu understood what she meant.
Jiang Hongyu nodded and said, "Then I'll ask Master Yu later to see when it would be convenient to send it to them."
He knew that Ye Mingzhu was a good swimmer, so he didn't ask when she was fished out.
"I think Uncle Yan wants to get married as soon as possible." He thought about it in his mind and said.
Ye Mingzhu also guessed that Uncle Yan's attitude was obviously to please Aunt Jiang, "But mother's health is not well yet."
"I'll discuss it with Uncle Yan again." Jiang Hongyu could accept Uncle Yan and Aunt Jiang getting married, but emotionally he still hoped to postpone it.
When Uncle Yan met Jiang Hongyu, he indeed mentioned the wedding date, but to Jiang Hongyu's surprise, he wanted to set the wedding date more than a month later.
Jiang Hongyu didn't answer. He looked Uncle Yan up and down, not knowing what he meant.
"Hongyu, I won't hide it from you. I'll have someone look for a house nearby. Once we find one, and then do some repairs, it'll take at least a month."
Jiang Hongyu was very unhappy when he heard that Aunt Jiang had to move out, but Uncle Yan had already continued.
"That place is my dowry to your mother. It's in her name. She can live wherever she wants."
Jiang Hongyu opened his mouth and then closed it again. In ancient times, a woman's dowry was her personal property. Even after her death, it could be left to her descendants. Uncle Yan gave Aunt Jiang a house for free.
In addition, he did not restrict Aunt Jiang where she lived, so Jiang Hongyu seemed to have no reason to object.
“What if there’s no suitable house nearby?”
"I've asked my real estate agent to keep an eye out for me. I'm sure I'll find a suitable house." Uncle Yan was very confident.
The houses around here are not ancestral homes. As long as you pay enough money, you can always buy a suitable house.
Since he decided to spend his life with Aunt Jiang, Uncle Yan was ready.
"Thank you, Uncle Yan." Jiang Hongyu squeezed out four words after a long time.
Uncle Yan patted his shoulder and said, "What are you talking about? I did all this for my love. I did it willingly. You and I have been together for many years. I have long regarded you as my own son."
Jiang Hongyu: ...He just thought that Uncle Yan was very good to him before, but he never thought about finding another father.
However, Aunt Jiang has raised him for many years and has no children of her own. He is living a good life now, so naturally he hopes that she will live a good life too.
"Then I'll go talk to my mother and set another date."
"I'll move in once I find a house. Then I'll ask the official matchmaker to propose marriage and set a date." Uncle Yan was very thoughtful. If he wanted to marry Aunt Jiang, he had to move out, otherwise it would be bad for Aunt Jiang's reputation.
Jiang Hongyu stopped talking and just waited for Uncle Yan's arrangements. Uncle Yan's arrangements were so thorough that he had nothing to say.
After Uncle Yan told Jiang Hongyu all his arrangements for the marriage, all he could do was nod.
"Mingzhu's uncle and Yun'an want to go to the provincial capital in a while. I would like to trouble Uncle Yan to help me send them there." Jiang Hongyu brought up this matter after seeing Uncle Yan finish explaining everything.
Uncle Yan hesitated a little. He was about to get married and there were many things he needed to decide. In addition, he wanted to develop a relationship with Aunt Jiang. At this time, he did not want to go out.
But he also knew that when Mingzhu and her brother went out, someone from their family would have to accompany them, and Jiang Hongyu was busy with official business and couldn't go out for a long time.
Jiang Hongyu also saw Uncle Yan's dilemma and didn't let him make a decision on the spot. He changed his words and said, "We still have to wait for Uncle's letter, or we can decide after the letter arrives."
That being said, both of them knew that Uncle Yan's escort was the best choice for Ye Mingzhu and her brother when they went out, mainly because there were too few people at home.
Jiang Hongyu decided to go to the pawnshop when he had time and buy a few more servants. This way, when Ye Mingzhu went out again, she would have more servants with her, and the safety factor would be higher.
Uncle Yan also nodded: "At worst, I can send them there first and come back later."
Jiang Hongyu shook his head. The provincial capital was not close to here, so it would be too much trouble.
"I'll go ask the escort agency, or ask them to escort them to the provincial capital." Jiang Hongyu knew that getting married was a complicated matter, so he didn't ask Uncle Yan to send Ye Mingzhu and others to the provincial capital.
On the contrary, Uncle Yan felt uneasy.
Jiang Hongyu shook his head and prepared to wait for Wang Dahu's letter before making a decision.
He asked Uncle Yan to go ahead and do his work while he went to the inn.
Yu Jiaming and Lord Zheng were about to leave when they learned that Ye Mingzhu had coral in her hand. Both of them were a little surprised.
"I heard that there are very few corals here. Where did you find the corals?" Yu Jiaming was a little curious.
"I didn't ask this." Jiang Hongyu felt a little embarrassed. In fact, he felt that these were Ye Mingzhu's privacy and didn't want to ask so clearly.
"How big is the coral?" asked Lord Zheng.
"It's quite big." Jiang Hongyu gestured briefly and said, "If you're interested, you can go directly to my house and move it."
Originally, Jiang Hongyu wanted to send it over, but Ye Mingzhu felt that this would be too conspicuous. It would be better to let Lord Zheng and others move it. This way, fewer people would know about it and it would be relatively safer.
Lord Zheng became interested: "Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow and bring it back when I return to the city."
When Jiang Hongyu heard him say that he was going back to the city, he was moved: "May I ask when you plan to go back to the city?"
Lord Zheng looked at him without saying anything, with a hint of coldness in his body.
"Sir, my wife is planning to go to the provincial capital in a few days. I'm a little worried. It would be much safer if I could go with you."
Jiang Hongyu quickly explained.
"Going to the capital?" Lord Zheng raised his eyebrows. "What are you going to do in the capital?"
"My wife's uncle is getting married, and I'm going to attend the ceremony." Jiang Hongyu told the truth.
