Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 148 Mother-in-law's dowry

"Hmm..." Not long after dawn, Luo Jinxiu woke up with a good biological clock. She couldn't rest well after tossing about for almost a month. Last night, she felt relaxed and had a high bed with soft pillows to sleep on, which was quite comfortable. I fell asleep comfortably.

After opening his eyes at this moment, he was still a little unsatisfied, and couldn't help but let out a soft snort and stretched his waist.

The servants of the Duke's Mansion guarding the door knocked lightly on the door as soon as they heard the sound coming from inside, asking if they wanted to get up and take a bath. Although there were servants ordering them around when they were at home, neither Yun Jinghao nor Luo Jinxiu were used to it. I can do my own things by myself, and I am not used to being served by others.

When they came to the Duke's Mansion, the hospitality was hard to come by. The two simply relaxed and enjoyed the treatment of the children of the aristocratic family. Some people brought tea and water, and neatly folded clothes and dresses. Before breakfast, they were afraid that they would be hungry. Cool dishes and exquisite snacks let them put a cushion first.

Even the quilts in the room were folded by the servants. They didn't need to do it themselves, and the dirty clothes were washed. A series of appropriate actions stunned Yun Kou, a little girl who hadn't seen much in the world. Then she felt ashamed that she was really an incompetent maid, and secretly made up her mind that during this time in the capital, she would learn how to serve her master well from the other maids and sisters in the yard!

After tidying themselves up, the couple started their morning exercises as usual.

Du Mingjie and Zhao Wu also got up early and had already warmed up by fighting in the yard.

The two of Yun Jinghao first ran around the huge yard together according to her habit. After running for three laps, they moved their hands and feet, first punched each other, and then fought together.

The servants in the yard had been full of surprise since they were running around the yard, and they even exclaimed when they saw that their husband and wife were planning to make a move.

"I've heard from Grandmother and Jing Cheng that they get used to sparring morning exercises every morning, and it's true." At this moment, several masters of the Duke's Mansion also came to Lanyue Residence quietly.

Lanyueju is the name of the courtyard where Yan Junyue lived.

The surrounding servants saw that they wanted to salute and say hello, but they were stopped by the Shizi with a wave of his hand.

The few people who came to watch the fun were the old Duke, the eldest son Yan Jingyu, and his two sons, Yan Jinghong and Yan Jingcheng, a total of five people.

Yan Jinghong is currently serving as the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army Battalion in the capital. His official position is neither high nor low. The solid military skills make a Yun Jinghao from the fifth rank to the top of the thousand. Even if it seems to be half a level higher, it is actually completely incomparable.

At least, he has not had the opportunity to actually go to the battlefield so far. He is said to be a military officer, and his skills are not bad, but his actual combat experience is pitiful.

The old man and the son meant that he would be thrown into his second uncle's camp after a while, or simply sent to the border for a period of experience.

Men all have passion and ambition to break out into the world, and Yan Jinghong is no exception. Seeing Yun Jinghao, his cousin, and his cousin who seems to be surprisingly flexible in skill, Yan Jinghong can't help but feel a little itchy. Discuss with my cousin.

After all, Luo Jinxiu didn't specialize in martial arts, and some of the moves taught by her elder brother and second brother to control and kill the enemy with one move couldn't be used against Yun Jinghao—it might not be effective even if she used it—after playing for a while, she felt that she was almost done, and then retreated Let Du Mingjie continue to fight with Zhao Wu and Yun Jinghao.

The scene of these three people sparring is even more exciting, and there is no need to worry about leaving some minor injuries on each other, and there is no need for special control.

However, Yan Jingyu, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help shouting "Hello" with bright eyes after fighting with each other for more than a dozen rounds. Yan Jinghong's eyes were even brighter, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

After Luo Jinxiu left the field, he took a clean handkerchief from Yun Kou and wiped the sweat off his face, then walked towards the old Duke who had noticed earlier, and called people to say hello one by one: "Grandpa, uncle."

The old man nodded slightly to her, without saying anything, his eyes still fell on Yun Jinghao, his face was full of pride.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the man with the blood of their Duke's family on his body!Even if he is living among the people, relying on his own ability, he can still make himself look like a human being. His grandson is really good, and he didn't embarrass the Duke's mansion or his mother!

The few people watched for more than a quarter of an hour, and Yan Jinghong stepped in halfway to compete with Yun Jinghao. As expected, he couldn't beat Yun Jinghao at all, but because it was only morning exercise, Yun Jinghao also Without putting in all their strength, the two had dozens of rounds, which made Yan Jinghong overwhelmed, and also strengthened his determination to really go to the battlefield.

Afterwards, Yan Jingcheng and Yan Jingyu joined in the fun, tossing and tossing for nearly half an hour, and didn't stop until Mrs. Shizi sent someone to ask them to have breakfast.

First go to the shower to wash off the sweat, put on a new set of clean clothes, and then gather in the dining room.

Yan Jingxian is already the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, so it's not good to stay at her mother's house all the time, so she went back last night, and she's not here now, but everyone else is here, and the whole family has breakfast together in a friendly manner. Those who served in the court went out to work separately.

Those who remained planned to have a good talk with Yun Jinghao and his wife, who had just come to the capital, but the old man directly called them to the study.

Master Shizi and Mrs. Shizi vaguely guessed what their father was going to say, so they asked the juniors in the family to go back to their own courtyards first, and then go to Jing Hao and Jinxiu later.

In the study of the old Duke, both the Duke and Mrs. Xu were present.

As soon as Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu entered the study room, the old man stared at him for a long time, and said sonorously: "I will send someone to Shangxi Village to move Yue'er's grave back in the next year, and it will be buried in our Yan's house." In the ancestral grave, do you have any opinions?"

Yun Jinghao said lightly: "This is very good, my mother also hopes to be with her real relatives."

The old Duke nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "Are you really not planning to move to the capital to live with us? If you are just worried that your coming may make someone in the family think something they shouldn't have, there is no need. The first and most important rule of my Yan family’s family rules is that we do not allow our own family to fight among themselves. The Duke’s Mansion absolutely does not and does not allow any intrigues among other powerful families in order to compete for the family property. Allowed."

Luo Jinxiu was almost amused by the old man's straightforward words, their grandfather is so real!

This kind of thing that the rich and powerful are tacit in private, and it is impossible to put it on the table, this dignified prince who has been in a high position for a long time actually said it so blatantly!
Perhaps, it was also because he stood at a high enough height that he didn't bother to hide it?
Yun Jinghao's expression was also subtle for a moment, and he said after a while: "It's not for this reason, uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​are all very good, it's just that Jinxiu and I have gotten used to the life in Shangxi Village, so we don't plan to Change."

Luo Jinxiu added in a timely manner: "However, there are relatives like grandparents and grandparents in the capital, and we will definitely come to visit you often in the future."

What the old people hope most when they are old is to be surrounded by their children and grandchildren. Even if they can't move here directly, at least let the old people know that they are thinking about the elders in their hearts!

Sure enough, the old Duke's and Yun Jinghao's cold and hard faces suddenly softened a lot, and the eyes he looked at her became more gentle, "You are very good, Jing Hao is lucky to marry you."

Even Luo Jinxiu was a little uncomfortable being said that by the elders, and forced a calm smile: "You are too famous, Jing Hao is a good man, and I am lucky to be able to marry him."

Now it's not just the old Duke and Mrs. Xu, but even Yun Jinghao, who was confessed in disguise by his own wife, the corners of his lips curled up happily.

The two elders were more at ease seeing the harmony between their husband and wife. The old man nodded to Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu took out a wooden box that had been prepared a long time ago, and waved to Luo Jinxiu, " Come here, kid."

Luo Jinxiu was puzzled, but she walked over obediently.

Mrs. Xu opened the wooden box and took out the contents one by one. Luo Jinxiu saw that there were all kinds of house deeds, land deeds, shop deeds, etc., and there was a large stack of bank notes at the bottom.

Different from the more common hundred taels of silver notes on the market, the ones in this wooden box are all of high denomination, and insomnia is not in circulation at all. Only the nobles can get the thousand taels, ten thousand taels of silver notes!
Luo Jinxiu only glanced roughly, and estimated that this stack of bank notes would add up to 10 taels!

In addition, Xu also took out a list from the inside and handed it to her. Luo Jinxiu still didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, but after looking at the list, there were many gold and silver jewelry, antique vases, calligraphy and paintings listed on it. Wait for something valuable.

This list seems to be some kind of gift list?The most common one is probably a list that is used as a betrothal gift or dowry when a younger generation is about to marry.

Before she could ask, Mrs. Xu gave her several ledgers.

This time, Mrs. Xu began to explain, "These things are the dowry we prepared for Yue'er, your mother-in-law, but unfortunately, something happened before Yue'er got married, and the things have been kept. Give her, this basic account book is the income of Zhuangzi under Yue'er's name over the years, Yue'er is gone, you can keep these things."

"How can this be done!" Although Luo Jinxiu had a premonition in her heart, she was shocked when she heard Xu's words so suddenly.

The sum of the bank notes alone can be worth a small 10 taels. If you count the house deeds and the deeds of other villages, most of them are properties in the capital, and their value is usually difficult to estimate!
