The two of them had just entered the courtyard gate, but were stopped by the gatekeeper.
"Third young lady, madam, please stop."
The expression on Liao's face was slightly restrained, and Rong Qing's expression also changed: "You dare to stop us?"
Who is Rong Qing? This is the first time she has been stopped wherever she wants to go in Rong Guogong's mansion.
The gatekeeper of Chuntingyuan is a nanny who is nearly fifty years old. She is wearing a dark dress and takes care of her hair meticulously. When she heard Rong Qing's question, her face turned pale.
Nothing has changed.
She said: "The eldest lady is joking. If the eldest lady wants to come to see the Ninth Young Master, she can come anytime." After all, they are uncle and niece.
"But if the Third Young Master has something to do, it would be better to send someone to ask the Ninth Young Master to talk to him in the front yard. Otherwise, we can just ask the Third Young Master to talk to the Ninth Young Master. Why bother to go there in person?"
"After all, the Ninth Young Master is not married yet, so it is not appropriate for you to come here..." A sister-in-law ran to the yard of her unmarried uncle, "and the Ninth Young Master is not in the courtyard at the moment."
Mrs. Liao's face turned blue and white after being spoken to by her grandma. Every word in her words seemed as if she had no shame. She scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. If I can't come, how can Ming come?"
Mingshi ran here when she had free time.
"How can this be the same?" the nanny said in a low voice.
Mrs. Shizi has lived in Duke Rong's mansion since she was a child. When Ninth Young Master was born, Mr. Shizi and his wife were very old. Ninth Young Master was not in good health when he was a child. Mrs. Shizi protected Ninth Young Master as his younger brother.
The relationship is not just between sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
"Besides, Madam Prince is here to help." What are you here for?
Speaking of which, the third young lady also has a grudge against the future ninth master's wife, which puts people in trouble. It would be bad if she had some evil thoughts and destroyed something.
Ming heard the argument outside the yard, came out, saw Liao and Rong Qing coming, and frowned slightly: "Why are you two here?"
Rong Qing was so angry that she pointed at the nanny and complained: "Auntie, this person is so brave, he dares to stop us."
Ming waved the nanny back, then frowned and glanced at Rong Qing: "This is her duty, there is nothing bold or not. After all, Xiaojiu is not here, and she doesn't dare to let people in at will. You guys
Why did you come to Chuntingyuan today?"
When she said the last sentence, Mrs. Ming was already a little impatient. She was busy and had no time to deal with her sister-in-law and niece, who were ignorant and arrogant.
Liao said: "We just came over to take a look."
She secretly wanted to see how the decoration of the courtyard where Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao were getting married compared to her years ago. She probably still hoped that they would not be able to compare to her years ago.
Ming didn't bother to think about what Liao was thinking or planning, and just said calmly: "There's nothing good to see, just the new house. Every family dresses up like this when they get married. I don't need you here. Go back."
Listening to these words that were clearly meant to drive people away, Ms. Liao frowned and was displeased, but at the moment she couldn't say that she was here to help, let alone that she could bear to step back and leave.
She thought for a moment, turned stiffly and walked back.
When Mrs. Ming saw her leaving, she didn't bother to pay attention to her and turned around and returned to the yard.
Mrs. Liao and Rong Qing went out, and Rong Qing was so angry that she pulled a flower that bloomed just right in the flower bed: "She doesn't take us seriously at all."
Ms. Liao paused and bit her lip: "When did she put us in her eyes?"
Rong Qing pinched the petals that were as red as light roses: "If Xie Shisan is married, they will definitely join forces. There will be no place for us in this family in the future."
"Mother, we can't go on like this."
There is also the matter of titles. In the future, Changfang will inherit the title of Duke Rongguo, and Rong Ci will inherit the title of Prince Ding. They will get nothing, and will end up being looked down upon and stepped on.
No, you have to think of a way.
"I also know that we can't go on like this." But she had argued and argued, but it was of no use at all. Thinking of this, she resented Rong Ting's inaction again. It was obvious that the title was within reach, but he kept fighting for it.
Neither of them were willing and gave it to others.
"It's all your father's fault!"
.
The days passed by, and the Rong family and the Xie family were so busy that they couldn't even touch the ground within a few days.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of October, the day before the wedding. The Xie family arranged for someone to carry the furniture prepared by the Xie family to the Rong family to make the bed. A group of girls who were friends with Xie Yixiao also came to add makeup to her.
Jiang took Gu Zhifeng with her and came early from the Changning Marquis Mansion to add a dowry to her. The dowry included many jewelry, as well as some ornaments, cloths, nourishing treasures and other items.
Xie Yi laughed and was shocked: "Grandma, why did you give me these things?"
Jiang stretched out his hand to touch her head, feeling pity and reluctance to part with her, but also happy for her: "Those things I gave you before are considered your mother's share. Now that you are getting married, I, my grandmother, will naturally give you more."
Some."
"It's not just you. Your eldest cousin and your third cousin got married, and their sisters got married. I also prepared a share for Axiang when she got married." But she felt more sorry for this.
My granddaughter has been without parents since she was a child, so more is given to her.
"This is the only thing grandma can give you outside of her life." Jiang said, her eyes getting a little wet, but it was a big day, so she held back her tears.
Xie Yixiao said helplessly: "Why is it something external to me? Whatever my grandmother gave me, it was all from her heart and she cared deeply about me."
"You have a good mouth to trick people." Jiang was so full of reluctance that she laughed out loud at her words.
Xie Yi smiled and said: "No, no, I'm not trying to coax you. What I'm saying is all the truth."
"Yes, yes, it's all the truth." Jiang gently ruffled her hair again, with soft eyes, "But you also have to remember that being married is different from being a wife at home.
, only when you have money in your hands can your life be easier and faster.”
Jiang counted everything he had and found that this was the only money he could give to her.
Xie Yixiao nodded: "Yixiao knows, don't worry, grandma, haven't you seen the Xizi Pavilion and Jiangshang Qingfeng Building that I manage? If nothing else, as long as these two are managed well, there will be no shortage of money.
"
Xizi Pavilion and Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower are both extremely profitable businesses. Take Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower as an example. Although it is still far behind Fan Yue Tower, its monthly operating income is very good.
"That's right." Jiang felt relieved after thinking of this.
