Chapter 294 Rich Woman Jingyan
Chapter 294 Rich Woman Jingyan
Early in the morning, Jingyan, feeling refreshed, was about to take Qing'er out shopping, but was stopped by his mother with a serious face.
"You can't go out today."
"Ah? Why?" Jing Yan was puzzled.
Mei Ruo was furious, "Why else? You've been dragging Qing'er out for a stroll these past few days, but do you remember that you're getting married soon?"
When he said this, Jingyan felt a little guilty, "Mother, we're getting married, is there anything you need me to do?"
She remembered that Qing'er wasn't very busy before she got married.
"Come, today, go pick out your trousseau with Mother. Your wedding dress is also ready. Try it on later. If anything doesn't fit, we'll need to alter it."
That’s true. As the bride, it seems that she cannot be absent from these two events.
"That's not right. Why didn't Qing'er ask her to sort out her dowry? The old lady prepared everything and just gave Qing'er a list."
Mei Ruo felt a little guilty, "You will have to see your dowry sooner or later, so there's nothing wrong with taking a look in advance."
Jingyan didn't think much about it, "That's right, then Qing'er will accompany me, and the three of us will be together."
"Of course." Mei Ruo wished that someone could share the burden with her. If she wasn't concerned about the honeymoon between Qing'er and Yongheng, Mei Ruo would have wanted Qing'er to be the housekeeper right now.
But she is still a good mother-in-law with a conscience. She decided to let the child play more and she will hold on for a few more years.
Soon, Jingyan knew why her mother asked her and Qing'er to help her sort out her dowry.
Looking at the chaos in the warehouse, Jingyan was stunned.
"Mother, I remember your private vault was very tidy before."
This is a long story. At first, Mei Ruo just took care of the dowry list for Jing Yan herself and didn't want to delegate it to anyone else.
As a result, after two days of searching in the warehouse, Mei Ruo found that she could not organize it properly. Not to mention organizing it clearly, it was even difficult to make it tidy.
Mei Ruo coughed lightly, "See? That's the dowry I've prepared for you over the years. It's just that when I was at the border, I just stuffed whatever good things I found into the box. I never sorted them out after I came back. Please sort them out. They will all be yours from now on, so you have to manage them well."
Jingyan looked at the rows of open boxes and realized for the first time that he was quite rich.
Then why was she so happy like a fool just for a few hundred taels of silver!
"Mother, don't tell me that everything in here is just stuffed in there without any record?"
Mei Ruo nodded as if it was a matter of course, and then tried to make excuses for herself, "Yes, alas, there is no such condition at the border, and there is no time when I come back. Mother is training your management ability in advance. Don't you think you can't even manage your own dowry?"
Qing'er was also stunned. Mother was really a very broad-minded person. Isn't she afraid of losing something?
Qing'er saw several priceless utensils, all of which were good things.
What if something is missing or lost, there will be no way to count it, right?
Fortunately, besides Mei Ruo herself, the only person who could get close to the warehouse and get the key was Jing Yan.
In an instant, Qing'er had a rich understanding of her family's financial situation.
Jingyan ran to the box with a miserable look on her face. There was nothing she could do since it was all money, and it was all her money!
Seeing Qing'er standing there blankly, Meiruo gently pushed her and said, "Qing'er, you should go too. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. You can help Yan'er take care of things for E'niang. It's a good opportunity to learn how to manage things. The whole house will be handed over to you later."
Qing'er nodded with a wry smile and walked up to Jingyan, who didn't know whether to collapse or be happy.
"Think positively, at least it's all money."
Upon hearing this, Jingyan grinned, "Qing'er, you understand me. I finally understand why you didn't take this step before you got married."
Prince Yu's property is managed by the Imperial Household Department, so naturally all the details are clear. The dowry prepared by the Empress Dowager for Qing'er is also in good order.
Only my mother could do such a thing.
The two of them worked hard to sort the items. Jingyan was responsible for organizing and packing, and Qing'er was responsible for recording. With their division of labor and cooperation, they finished the work quickly.
Seeing that the two of them were making good progress, Mei Ruo nodded secretly. Sure enough, the method she thought of was almost perfect.
After handing the battlefield over to the two of them, Mei Ruo ordered someone to move a recliner and a table. She sat in the corridor, drinking tea and eating snacks while watching the two children busy themselves. She felt extremely comfortable.
The two of them kept sorting until lunch time, and when they looked up, they found that there was still a lot to go.
Qing'er began to have a headache, "Yan'er, the only good news for you now is that you have a large dowry."
There is too much bad news. At this rate, they will be busy for another two days.
Jingyan was a bit nagging, "Or, I can just pack it up and carry it away."
This made Qing'er burst into laughter, "Yan'er, you and mother are really exactly the same in these aspects."
"I wish my mother were a hardworking woman, so that we wouldn't have to suffer here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar erupted from behind, startling the two of them.
"Jingyan! Okay, you're making up stories about your mother!"
Jingyan chuckled and walked forward to rub Meiruo in a rather flattering manner, "Mother, no way, my daughter loves you the most. In my heart, you are the most perfect and best mother."
The corners of her brows curled slightly, but she still pretended to be disgusted and pushed Jing Yan away: "Oh, your hands are dirty, they are rubbing against my clothes."
When Jing Yan heard this, he hugged Mei Ruo tightly like an octopus, "No, if this one gets dirty, I'll give another one to mother later."
"You little rascal, Qing'er, come on, let's go have lunch first."
After lunch, the two coolies spent another day in the warehouse.
Even when Yongheng came to see Qing'er, Meiruo sent him back.
Yongheng was so angry that he could only run to Fucha Mansion to ask Fu Lingan to support him.
"You said mother too. Why does Qing'er, your sister-in-law, need help to organize my sister's dowry? I also want to take Qing'er to see the flower boats tonight."
When Fu Lingan heard that Jingyan and Qing'er were busy with work, he stopped.
"They are busy with their work. If we disturb them, it will leave a bad impression on my mother-in-law."
"What are you afraid of? My mother loves you the most."
Fu Ling'an didn't believe Yongheng's sugar-coated bullets, he was very persistent.
Seeing that he refused to go with him no matter what, Yongheng was so angry that he jumped up and down. He pointed at Fu Lingan and shouted, "If you have the guts, don't go and watch Yan'er try on her wedding dress later!"
"Wedding dress!" Fu Ling'an's eyes lit up instantly. His wedding dress was simple and he had tried it a long time ago and it was fine. He didn't expect Jingyan's was only finished now. The wedding dress was hand-drawn by him and was a modification of the traditional wedding dress. Of course, he was looking forward to seeing Yan'er wearing it.
Now Yongheng no longer had to pull him, but Fu Lingan pulled Yongheng away instead.
"Why didn't you say so earlier, brother-in-law? Let's go."
Yongheng curled his lips and said, "Hmph, he knew it."
However, even if Fu Ling'an went there, he wouldn't be able to see it. Neither his mother nor Yan'er would let Fu Ling'an see it in advance.
Hey.
