Chapter 412
Shao Wanyun was sitting on the edge of the couch, chatting with Jiang Zuiyao, from when she first got married to the Shao family to giving birth to Chu Yi, and from Dieyi to Huo Yuchu. The two sisters talked about everything, and Jiang Zuiyao knew it.
, Shao Wanyun did not marry the wrong person.
But Shao Ziqing and Huo Yuchu were sitting on the soft couch, with a cup of tea and a handful of melon seeds. The conversation between men did not require the gossip of sisters in the boudoir.
In the dormitory, four people talked in pairs without disturbing each other.
It was almost dusk in a blink of an eye, and Shao Ziqing said to Huo Yuchu: "Let's stay in the house for dinner today. I'll ask the kitchen to cook some special dishes, and we can have a good drink."
It was rare for Huo Yuchu to talk freely. If it was paired with a bottle of wine, it would be the icing on the cake. However, he still subconsciously looked at Shao Wanyun. She was holding Jiang Zuiyao's hand and chatting happily.
Upon seeing this, Shao Ziqing said to Shao Wanyun, "Wanyun, please stay at home for dinner tonight."
Shao Wanyun turned around and looked at the paper window, only to realize that time passed so quickly.
Jiang Zuiyao also said enthusiastically: "Since it's almost dinner, don't leave, just stay."
We are a family, and it is rare for Shao Wanyun to return to her parents' home. She smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, I will send someone back to the palace to send a message, don't let me and Yuchu go back home."
Shao Wanyun stood up and walked to the door, giving some instructions to her personal maid.
Xiyun walked up to him, holding a brocade box, and said, "Master, would you like to give this to the Crown Princess?"
Jiang Zuiyao opened the brocade box and saw that it was a fine Guanyin statue, made of heavy gold plating and given to her by the Queen Mother.
Despite this, Jiang Zuiyao still asked: "Is this the most valuable object in the warehouse?"
Xijun replied: "This is a gift from the Queen Mother to the master. The things in the palace are naturally good, and there are other valuable items as well. But I thought that after all, it was a congratulatory gift from the master to the Crown Princess. This gift is for the son."
Guanyin is the most suitable."
Jiang Zuiyao nodded with satisfaction, and Xijun placed the brocade box on the couch.
When Shao Wanyun came back, he sat down again and said with a smile: "If my brother hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought it was so late."
Jiang Zuiyao smiled and replied: "What are you afraid of? I have nothing to do. If it's too late, just stay at the house for the night. There is no room in the east courtyard."
After the words fell, Jiang Zuiyao picked up the brocade box and handed it to Shao Wanyun and said: "Logically speaking, I should be there to celebrate your wedding in person, but I have to do it myself. Although people can't come, the ceremony cannot be left behind."
Shao Wanyun was a little surprised. She didn't expect Jiang Zuiyao to be able to make up for the wedding gift. She took the brocade box and opened it, and her eyes immediately lit up. She was born in a wealthy family and had seen a lot of precious objects. At a glance, she knew that this
Zunzi Guanyin was made with a lot of money and was worth a lot of money. He was surprised and said: "Sister-in-law, this is an outsider. I am afraid that such a good thing cannot be found in Zhaojing."
Jiang Zuiyao never cared about such external things. Xijun on the side interjected: "The prince has a good eye. This Guanyin was originally given to the master by the queen mother. I heard that I hired the best master to use it."
It took three years to create such a statue, which was made of fine Doucai porcelain and gilded with gold. The Queen Mother also specially asked a mage to consecrate it, so it must be efficacious."
Upon hearing this, Shao Wanyun was a little afraid to accept it, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, my sister does not dare to accept such a valuable item."
When Jiang Zuiyao saw Shao Wanyun was about to put down the brocade box, she quickly raised her hand to stop it and said, "If my sister doesn't accept it, does it mean she won't reward me?"
Shao Wanyun quickly shook his head: "How could it be? It's just that this object is too valuable, and it was given to you by the Queen Mother."
Jiang Zuiyao smiled nonchalantly: "Between you and me, we are just talking about this. I should choose the best things for you. If I care about this, I can just find someone who can save my face and give it to you.
, I will keep such good things for myself."
This was a rough statement, but Shao Wanyun was still hesitant, so Jiang Zuiyao continued: "Logically speaking, when you get married, I, as your sister-in-law, should be the one who has been busy helping you make the arrangements, and then personally send you out."
Even though I didn’t even do it, it was my fault as a sister-in-law."
Shao Wanyun frowned: "Sister-in-law, don't say that, I have never picked on you."
Jiang Zuiyao smiled warmly: "Then just accept it. It's all my heart. If you don't like this, I'll ask Xijun to take you to my warehouse. You can choose whatever is in there. You can take whatever you like."
"Sister-in-law!" Shao Wanyun called out in a serious tone.
Jiang Zuiyao held the brocade box and pushed it towards Shao Wanyun, insisting: "Take it, don't argue with me. It would be a pity if such a good thing breaks."
Shao Ziqing, who was on the side, had long heard the conversation between the two, and now added fuel to the fire: "Since your sister-in-law gave it to you, just keep it. If you don't, she will be worried about it for a while."
Shao Wanyun saw that Jiang Zuiyao also sincerely gave her a gift. At that moment, her brother persuaded her. If she didn't accept it, she would be disrespectful of the compliment. She could only smile and said: "Then it's better for my sister to be respectful than to obey. It will cost my sister-in-law money."
Shao Wanyun closed the brocade box and handed it to her maid. The maid accepted it very carefully, for fear of accidentally dropping it.
By the time the food was served on the table, it was already dark.
Shao Wanyun carefully helped Jiang Zuiyao out of bed, walked to the dining table and sat down, and asked the servants to quickly get a soft cushion to lean on. She asked warmly, "Sister-in-law, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? You need to bring a Taishi chair, sister.
Let someone spread it with soft cotton batting."
Jiang Zuiyao smiled and shook her head: "I'm mainly recovering from my internal injuries now. I can walk on the ground. My sister thinks I'm too fragile. That's it. That's fine."
The family banquet started, with thirty-two sumptuous dishes, a large table full, four people eating, and seven or eight servants waiting on the side.
During the banquet, Shao Ziqing and Huo Yuchu drank and drank happily.
Shao Wanyun and Jiang Zuiyao ignored them and gathered together to chat. After filling their stomachs, Jiang Zuiyao asked: "Have you eaten, sister?"
Shao Wanyun nodded: "After eating, what I want to eat most is this crispy duck with beef brisket. The chef from our mansion invited from Jiangnan, you can't eat it in the Regent's Palace."
Jiang Zuiyao said hurriedly: "Is that difficult? If my sister wants to eat, she can come back. She is not far away. If she is too lazy to move, let the cook go to the palace to stay for a while and cook it specially for you."
Shao Wanyun smiled and replied: "Sister-in-law is still considerate. I told my mother that she said that I am the Crown Princess. If word of this spreads out, others will inevitably say that I, the Crown Princess, are greedy and refuse to do so."
Jiang Zuiyao said: "You live your whole life just for this mouth. You can't be wronged. In this case, I asked the Jiangnan cook to make beef brisket and crispy duck every seven or eight days.
