Hongmei was combing Xie Yun's hair. She thought she was the most beautiful person she had ever seen.
Xie Yun watched Hongmei put those gold hairpins on her head. She already had a lot of jewelry on her head. If she wore more, she felt that she would soon get cervical spondylosis.
"Don't bring so many. My head still hurts. Just wear these two. Take off the others."
Xie Yun picked out two white jade hairpins from the jewelry box and placed them next to Hongmei.
When Hongmei heard the young lady say that her head still hurt, she realized how she had forgotten that the young lady still had a head injury.
When Xie Yun saw Hongmei's expression, she knew what she was thinking. Hongmei was a straightforward person, without any twists and turns, but she was the most loyal.
Just as Hongmei finished combing Xie Yun's hair, someone came outside to report that the Duke had arrived.
Xie Yun quickly stood up and walked out. As soon as she reached the outer room, she saw the Duke had already walked to the door and the little maid had lifted the curtain.
The Duke walked in and Xie Yun bowed.
"Father"
When the Duke saw Xie Yun saluting him, he quickly helped her up.
"You're still injured, why are you standing up? Sit down quickly."
As soon as Xie Yun and the Duke sat down, someone came to inform them that their stepmother had arrived. The maid opened the curtain and the Duke's wife also came in.
Xie Yun stood up again and saluted the Duke's wife. When the Duke's wife saw the Duke sitting there, she quickly helped him up.
"Mother"
"Yun girl, hurry up and get up. We are family and there is no need to be polite. You are still sick, why are you getting up now?"
"I'm much better now. I feel so lazy lying down all the time."
The Duke's wife sat next to the Duke, said a few words to Xie Yun, and then had the things brought to Xie Yun.
Xie Yun thanked the Duke's wife, and the Duke also had someone bring some things to Xie Yun.
"Just focus on recuperating. Don't go to pay your respects during this period. Wait until you're well again."
"Yes, don't go to pay your respects yet. It's more important to recover."
After the Duke and his wife left, Xie Yun asked Honglan to put away all the things that needed to be stored.
She has her own warehouse with quite a few things in it.
Although her aunt was just a aunt, her family was a wealthy businessman, and she brought a lot of dowry when she came to the mansion.
These were also allowed by the Duke of Zhenguo. After the concubine died, these things were initially managed by the Duke.
Xie Yun is fourteen years old this year. In this dynasty, women can get married at the age of fifteen.
The Duke gave all of that to Xie Yun this year, wanting her to learn management so that she would know all these things when she becomes the mistress in the future.
Although Xie Yun was a concubine's daughter, the Duke loved her because she was his only daughter, so he planned to find her a wife from a good family. It didn't matter if her status was lower, as long as she was good to his daughter.
The concubines of this dynasty either became concubines of the rich and powerful, married illegitimate sons, or served as concubines.
The Duke was reluctant to let his beloved daughter become someone else's concubine, so he wanted to teach Xie Yun everything that the mistress of the house knew.
The Duke is planning to go to the palace these days to ask the Emperor to send a nanny to help Xie Yun.
Xie Yun was not idle during the few days of rest. She sorted out her things and the original owner's things.
Not to mention that this sorting really shocked her. The silver notes alone added up to 30,000 taels, including the money that the Duke of Zhenguo had earned from managing his concubine's dowry in recent years, and the money that Xie Yun had saved herself.
There is also a lot of cash and gold, not to mention three farms and six shops. There are also many interesting things and some medicinal materials in the warehouse.
Xie Yun, for example, had quite a bit of jewelry. Every season, her share was six sets of clothing and two sets of jewelry.
The Duke would also add two more sets of clothes and two sets of jewelry to her from his private storehouse every season.
As a result, no other official daughter received as much as she did. Her monthly allowance was ten taels of silver, the same amount as the Duke's legitimate son. At first, the Duke's wife gave her two taels, and the Duke added another eight taels.
The Duke's wife had nothing more to say. Xie Yun rarely went out and stayed at home, so she didn't have much expenses and saved all the money.
All the jewelry she had worn since she was a child, except for the ones on her dressing table now, have been put away. These are also a considerable amount of property.
She hadn't thought about making any changes when she came here, after all, if the changes were too big, she would easily get burned.
When Xie Yun recovered from her illness, she got up early, paid her respects, and went out. She wanted to go out and check on her six shops. She had no plans to intervene for the time being, but just wanted to see how things were going so that she could have an idea in her mind.
The first place they went to was a jewelry shop. The items inside were also very popular. Her shop was the second most profitable among the six shops.
She went in, looked around, bought some small things to reward the servants, and then came out.
The second place they were going to was a restaurant. Her restaurant was quite famous in Kyoto, and with the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, no one would feel uncomfortable here.
After all, the Duke of Zhenguo is a favorite of the emperor, and even the princes and nobles give him some face.
Xie Yun was wearing a hat on her head and asked for a private room as soon as she entered the restaurant.
The private room had a window facing the street. Xie Yun ordered four dishes and took off her cap after the waiter left.
This was her first time wearing a hood and she was a little uncomfortable, but with the shape of her face, wearing a hood would save her a lot of trouble.
While waiting for the waiter to serve the food, Xie Yun looked out the window at the street outside. It was quite lively with people coming and going.
Suddenly, a high-end and imposing carriage came into her sight. It looked like the person in the carriage must be a powerful person.
When the carriage came closer, she saw the sign on it. It turned out to be the carriage of Prince Jing's Mansion, and there were many guards beside the carriage.
At this time, the carriage stopped, and a eunuch lifted the curtain, and a man in luxurious clothes walked out from inside.
After seeing the man's face, Xie Yun stood up in shock, staring at the people below without blinking.
Hongshao saw Xie Yun stand up in shock, and even the stool fell backwards. She was afraid that Xie Yun would fall, so she screamed in fright and hurried over to help Xie Yun.
"Miss, be careful"
At this time, Xie Yun no longer cared about her because the people below had given her too many surprises.
Qin Minghao's face below was as dark as if ink could drip out of it. He had never expected that he and his wife would be able to meet each other in the underworld when they went to the underworld together.
Unexpectedly, a suction force brought him here. His current body is that of a prince, the thirteenth prince of the current emperor.
Everyone else looks good, but he takes after his grandfather and looks just like he did in his previous life, so ordinary.
