Chapter 194 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law’s Bodyguard
Mrs. Wang came to Zhufeng Courtyard and saw the old lady half lying on the couch.
"Mother"
The dozing old lady opened her eyes, and Nanny Rong gently helped her up.
After the old lady sat down, she gently waved to Madam Wang: "Jingyao, come and sit here with your mother."
Mrs. Wang’s maiden name was Wang Jingyao, and her father was a third-rank official in the Ministry of Rites.
The duties of the Guanglu Temple Minister included managing the palace gates, tents and utensils, and meals for court meetings of all officials.
Wang Jingyao has been famous in the capital for her outstanding talent and unparalleled beauty since she was a child.
She was born into a prominent family and received strict family education and cultural influence since childhood. She is not only knowledgeable, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can compose poems and songs with ease.
Her appearance is pure and refined, yet dignified and elegant, making people unforgettable at first sight.
He hoped to marry her home and bring her glory to the family. However, Wang Jingyao was never easily tempted, as she knew that her marriage was not only a happy event, but also the future and hope of the family.
Wang Jingyao's reputation spread far and wide. She was not only a household name in the capital, but the door to the Wang family's house was almost flattened by people. Until she fell in love with Xue He at first sight at a banquet.
Although the Duke of Zhenguo did not have close contacts with the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he knew very well that this man was upright and incorruptible.
When the old lady met Wang Jingyao at a flower-viewing banquet, she praised her highly and was very satisfied with the marriage. This started a good story in the capital.
Over the years, the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law has been as close as that between mother and daughter. From the old Duke to Xue He, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion has never taken concubines. So the backyard is very quiet.
The old lady took Wang Jingyao's hand and said, "Jingyao, I've wronged you over the years."
When the old lady asked Wang Jingyao to come over, Rong Ma sent all the maids away and stood guard at the door, leaving the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to talk privately.
"Mother, the child is back, I'm happy." Even though he said he was happy, he couldn't hide the disappointment that flashed across his eyes.
How could this escape the old lady's eyes?
"The child just came back and is not familiar with the house. He will be fine after more time," the old lady comforted.
Wang Jingyao nodded: "Mother, I want to take Lian'er to see my father and mother in a few days."
The old lady agreed and said, "Let the nanny send the invitation tomorrow and set a date to bring Lian'er back to recognize her relatives."
After a pause, he continued, "Let Lian'er be more relaxed about the money."
Wang Jingyao pursed her lips: "Don't worry, mother, your daughter-in-law understands"
Liu got on the carriage and said to Xia Xuelian excitedly, "Lian'er, let's go to the jewelry store to get some jewelry first, and then go to the rouge store and the ready-made clothing store, okay Lian'er?"
Xia Xuelian had long wanted to buy herself jewelry and clothes that were once beyond her reach. Of course, the point was not buying clothes, but the feeling of spending money without blinking an eye.
The maid Xiao Cui led Xia Xuelian and her daughter into the largest jewelry shop in the capital - Yanyu Tower.
The shop is antique and full of dazzling jewellery. There is a constant stream of customers in the shop, and the shop assistants are busy serving every customer.
Xia Xuelian and Liu were carefully admiring the various jewelry. They were dazzled and kept exclaiming in amazement.
Suddenly, a delicate voice broke the silence in the store: "I want this jewelry, pack it up for me!" It turned out to be a girl from Beijing who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, pointing at a jade hairpin that Xia Xuelian and her daughter had just taken a fancy to.
Liu frowned slightly, turned to the arrogant girl and said, "We were the first to see this hairpin, why should we give it to you just because you want it? Humph, waiter, wrap it up for me, I want this hairpin."
