Chapter 243 I have never seen someone spend money without regard for his life
Yuan Ying is a very insightful girl. It is true that she likes Prince Yu, but she will not like a Prince Yu who wants to shake the Da'an kingdom.
She had seen how her father and brother had been persecuted for protecting the people, and how miserable the people were under the flames of war. She would not allow herself to stand in such a camp.
That was the belief that had been engraved in her bones since she was a child.
If she had any weakness in her heart, she would not have been able to travel thousands of miles to Kyoto with the evidence and her sick mother.
Hearing this, the old lady smiled, "Yes, you know Ying'er better than your aunt! That child is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. Once she makes up her mind, no one can change it. But in the future, you two sisters have to help each other. You married Prince Ling, and you have become her elder in the royal family. If there is anything wrong in your dealings with the noble families in the future, you have to remind each other. Your grandfather and I are old, and you have to rely on yourselves in the future."
Speaking of socializing, Yan Qingqing felt as if a big stone was hanging in her heart, heavy, stuffy, and uncomfortable...
She is actually a very lazy person and doesn't like to have too much contact with people.
But if I have the status of Princess Ling in the future, I will have to take all these relationships into account. It seems that I should learn more from Nanny Su earlier on how to run a household properly! Otherwise, I will be completely clueless and know nothing in the future, which will make people laugh at me!
As soon as she had this thought, the old lady said, "Now that you have been awarded the title of Marrying into the palace, you will be a proper mistress, and there will be no mother-in-law to set rules for you. You should learn the ways of managing a household earlier. While there is still some time before the wedding, you should stop busying yourself and learn the ways of managing a household from your aunts..."
Yan chuckled gently, "Grandma, you must have put worms in my stomach, otherwise how would you know what Yan'er is thinking?"
The old lady smiled and patted her face.
The grandparents and grandchildren snuggled together, looking so warm that even Aunt Wen was reluctant to disturb them.
"Madame Wen, what's the matter?"
Nanny Wen then walked in slowly and said, "Several ladies are here. Yes, they want to teach the girl how to read the account books..."
The old lady lowered her head and tapped Yan Qingqing's nose with her index finger. "See? Your aunts are much more dedicated than your grandmother, right? They are afraid that you can't learn, so they come together to teach you!"
So, in the following days, Yan Qingqing was ordered not to go out, and she had to stay at home every day to look at the account books and learn how to do accounting.
In fact, these things are not difficult for her, a modern person who has received higher education and studied finance.
However, the accounting and settlement methods in ancient times are different from those in modern times, so she needs to learn about them.
However, managing a household is a science and requires careful attention. After all, there are so many people in a mansion that need to be managed, and the complexity of all the things added up is no less than operating and managing a small company.
Her aunts taught her very attentively, and she also learned very attentively.
As for why Yuan Ying didn't need to learn, it was because Madam Yuan was frail and sickly, and Yuan Ying was smart since childhood. She had been trained by Yuan Xiao to manage the Governor's Office at a very young age. Therefore, these things were easy for her to handle and she didn't need to learn anything at all.
However, when Yan Qingqing was studying, she would accompany her and provide timely answers when she was at a loss.
Two cousins of the Gu family are about to get married, and their husbands are princes, so the weddings cannot be shabby.
Yan Qingqing is now the eldest daughter of the Xiaoyao Sect, so how could the ceremony be small?
Yuanying is the daughter of the governor of Kyushu's grain transport system, and her family background is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Therefore, the three wives of the Gu family were very busy every day, from deciding the guest list to making invitations. From the dishes, desserts, and flavors of the wedding banquet to deciding on the chefs and kitchen assistants. They also bought various items needed for the wedding day and all kinds of dowries, which they did all by themselves.
Sect Master Yan has returned to Kyoto from Xiaoyao Sect.
Yan Qingqing has already returned to her ancestral home. Although the wedding banquet is hosted by the Gu family, as a grandfather, he cannot miss any piece of dowry.
So these days, he and Xulin have been running to major gold, silver and jade shops in Kyoto.
Buy whatever is expensive.
Every time he returned to the Gu Mansion, there were always several large carriages full of things.
Some of the ornaments were too large to be pulled by a horse-drawn carriage, so they were simply covered with red cloth and had people carry them all the way back.
These merchants who make jewelry and ornaments were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
There are rich families everywhere in Kyoto, but none of them spend money like this. They want to buy everything in the store!
This isn’t even custom-made!
After Mu Sinian was executed, everyone knew that Mu Qingyan was the eldest daughter of the number one sect in the world - Xiaoyao Sect!
Now, she has returned to her ancestral home and changed her name to Yan Qingqing!
I have to say! This Miss Yan really reflects the reality of first suffering and then sweetness!
She had been bullied so much since she was a child, but God had a blessing in the end. Her blessing was indeed yet to come!
The Xiaoyao Sect is really rich!
Before the wedding date came, the whole capital knew that the future Princess Ling had a family that was as wealthy as a country! And a maternal family that held a large number of troops!
However, in such a joyous atmosphere, there are always one or two people who will come out to ruin the mood.
For example, some people mentioned the women who had been engaged to Prince Ling and then died tragically in their families three days before the wedding.
For a time, the people of Kyoto were very secretive about it.
They all remembered that Prince Ling was born with a bad fate and was known to bring bad luck to his wife.
I began to sympathize with Miss Yan again.
Everyone was secretly calculating, and on the day three days before the wedding, everyone's ears perked up, hoping to be the first to hear some news.
However, on the next morning, people were stunned when they saw Miss Yan wearing green clothes and strolling around the street.
People rushed to tell each other!
The rumors are not credible!
Prince Ling is not born unlucky, nor is he destined to be unlucky in marriage!
When these words reached Prince Ling's ears, he was playing chess with the Crown Prince in his own palace.
Ah Shang described in vivid detail the commotion caused by Yan Qingqing's appearance on the streets of Kyoto, and the prince listened with great interest.
Prince Ling smiled as he killed the prince without leaving a single soldier behind.
The prince threw his black piece into the chess pot and looked at Prince Ling helplessly, "You are in such a good mood today, but you don't even know how to let your nephew go!"
Prince Ling raised his eyebrows, "I'll let you win, what's the point of winning?"
The prince nodded, "That makes sense! When you get married and Aunt Royal comes into the family, I'm afraid you won't even have the time to play chess with your nephew..."
