Extra 9: Coming of Age Ceremony



It took Xie Yun a whole day to finish reading the account books. Not to mention, the farm's income could reach two thousand taels a year, and the shops also made quite a few.

If the Duke had not used his previous earnings to buy two more shops for her, she would have had even more money. The jewelry shop was bought this year.

But when she looked at the jewelry shop's account book, she found that it was really making money. This shop could catch up with two or three other shops.

If she had bought the shop earlier, she felt she would have had more banknotes.

But it is not a small amount now, at least it is more than the dowry of most official daughters.

Qin Minghao came again in the evening. Xie Yun was used to it. He came as he pleased. It was time for her to go to sleep.

“I have finished talking to my father about the betrothal gifts, and he promised to give us all of them.

I also took back my mother's things, and my father gave me a lot more privately."

“That would be a huge profit.”

"Well, I made some money, but not too much. Others gave it to me in scattered portions, but we gave it to you all together, so you think it's a lot."

"I'll put all the valuables in the space."

"No, when you get married, I'll keep some of the banknotes for daily use, and change the rest into gold ingots and put them in your space.

It’s just that the things awarded by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are hard to sell, otherwise I would convert them into gold ingots and put them in your space.”

"No need, just exchange the banknotes. Pick out some of the rest and put them in my space. I like them too."

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."

The two of them chatted for a while and then fell asleep. When Xie Yun woke up in the morning, she was used to having no one around.

After breakfast, Xie Yun was called over by the Duke's wife. A nanny came to the palace today and said she was there to teach Xie Yun the palace etiquette.

Xie Yun was a little nervous at first, fearing that someone like Rong Mama would come.

But her worries were in vain. This nanny was chosen by Qin Minghao. She was careful, knew when to advance and retreat, and understood the rules. She was not too pedantic.

"Girl Yun, this is Aunt Xu from the palace. You should learn from her."

"My daughter understands and promises to study hard."

"Okay, then you can go back."

"Daughter resigns"

After going out, Xie Yun was thinking in her heart that it was obvious that the Duke's wife was in a bad mood, and she didn't know who had offended her.

In fact, it was she who provoked it. The Duke's wife was still unhappy about it. That was the dowry of her legitimate daughter, and she has been holding on to this anger until now.

If she hadn't been afraid that the Duke would take over the preparation of her dowry while she was sick, and she didn't know how many good things he would have to give away, she would have quit long ago.

Xie Yun led Aunt Xu back to the yard and asked Hong Zhu to take Aunt Xu downstairs to clean up.

The room had been cleaned in advance and the utensils in the room had been placed in advance. All Aunt Xu had to do was put away the things she brought.

Originally, Qin Minghao wanted to send some of his own people over, but Xie Yun refused. She didn't like too many people and felt it would be noisy. Even the current number of people was too many for her.

Aunt Xu put the things away and came over. Xie Yun also studied hard. Although she had the original owner's memories, she still needed to practice on her own for a while. Aunt Xu had a lot to teach her.

Aunt Xu would explain every detail to her in detail, and Xie Yun felt that she benefited a lot.

She was so busy during the day that she fell asleep when Qin Minghao came at night.

When Qin Minghao saw his wife like this, he thought of stopping the etiquette training. His wife's rules were good to begin with, so there was no need for her to learn them.

The next day, Aunt Xu received an order that Xie Yun no longer needed to learn the rules, but she still had to teach her other things.

Especially some secret things, they had to be taught carefully, for he was afraid that his wife would suffer when she entered the palace.

Xie Yun studied more seriously. She had seen many people die from these methods on TV and in books before.

Although she wouldn't die from this, she didn't want to suffer.

Xie Yun continued like this until she reached the age of 15, when she could finally rest for a few days and prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony.

Many people came to the coming-of-age ceremony on the day of her marriage, because Xie Yun was the only daughter of the Duke and the Princess of Jing.

There were so many people at the coming-of-age ceremony, but Xie Yun didn't recognize many of them.

The Duke's wife was introducing them to her right beside her. Xie Yun was very grateful for the original body's good memory, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to remember them.

During the coming-of-age ceremony, Qin Minghao had the hairpins made for her individually.

The Duke also prepared hairpins for his daughter. Seeing that Qin Minghao had also prepared one, he gave both to Xie Yun.

Those who came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony also brought gifts, and Aunt Xu specifically had them collected and recorded in a book.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager also bestowed many gifts. When the Empress saw that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had given gifts, she also picked out some gifts.

When the concubines in the harem saw that the three giants had given rewards, they also gave some rewards.

Although the concubines in the harem did not receive many rewards, there were too many of them.

Everyone was extremely envious of these rewards and wished they could exchange them with Xie Yun.

After everyone left, Xie Yun asked someone to put everything away, as she had received another sum of money today.

After everything was recorded and put into the warehouse, she felt that her warehouse was too small, so she asked Honglan to clean it up and clear out a room for use as a warehouse.

After all, her betrothal gifts have not arrived yet. If they had arrived, it would definitely be more.
