After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Chapter 485 Worrying about the betrothal gift

Suddenly Yan Qingqing, the wife of Mingzhao in the Mingzhao Mansion, became a celebrity in the capital. There was even a storyteller who wrote a storybook specifically for Yan Qingqing.

It tells the story of her journey from a widow whose man died to a conscientious businessman and then to a first-class imperial title step by step.

Yan Qingqing specially sent someone to listen to it, and I have to say it was quite inspiring.

Of course, a story is a story after all, and Yan Qingqing only listened to it for fun.

Now Yan Qingqing is slowly handing over the affairs of Mingzhao Mansion to Yuan Huiniang.

With experience in running a business in Canghe Town, Yuan Huiniang got started very quickly.

Now I am basically proficient in dealing with these human interactions in the capital.

Yuan Huiniang asked people to carry all the gifts she received to Yan Qingqing's yard.

Yan Qingqing looked at the piles of things in her yard, which were much more spectacular than the gifts she received in Canghe Town.

Yuan Huiniang smiled and said: "Mom, I will ask them to sort these things and move them to the warehouse for you."

Yan Qingqing shook her head and said: "How can I put so many things in my warehouse.

You pick out some of the things given by the emperor and put them in my warehouse, and you can divide the rest between you.

Remember to give Mu Xi a separate portion. "

Yuan Huiniang smiled happily when she heard this. There were many good things in it.

Although she shouldn't worry about her mother-in-law's things, who wouldn't be tempted by good things?

Besides, Yan Qingqing has no shortage of these things at all.

So Yuan Huiniang grinned and said, "Thank you, mother, don't worry, Mu Xi's share will definitely not be missed."

As she spoke, Yuan Huiniang directed her servants to pick out the things given by the emperor and those sent by Xiao Mochen.

The remaining dozens of boxes were carried back to the front yard.

Then someone went to notify Li Xiangan, Mu Xi, Li Xiangkang, Li Xiniang, Li Yueniang, Li Xiangyang, and Li Jinxiu.

Li Jinqian was too young and he was his own son. Yuan Huiniang thought about it and let it go. Otherwise, it would be unfair for them to share the same room in three parts.

It was already dark when we finally divided these things, but everyone was very happy. After all, everyone had divided several large boxes of things.

Yuan Huiniang thought for a while, then took out another box from her share and asked Li Xiangkang to bring it to Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu lived in their house, and although the food and clothing were provided by their family, Ding also gave him money.

Since the mother-in-law allowed Ding Xiu to study in the Imperial College, she wanted to completely conquer the Ding family and make the Ding family become part of their power.

Yuan Huiniang saw clearly that Yan Qingqing's quota to enter the Imperial Academy was given to Ding Xiu. She was now the young lady in charge, so naturally she would not be stingy with the money.

Yuan Huiniang has stayed with Yan Qingqing for a long time, and her horizons have broadened, so her work is naturally much more grand than before.

Ding Xiu was extremely moved after receiving these things. Everyone in the Li family was so kind to him.

Thinking about his father's ardent expectations for him, he could not embarrass the Li family or the Ding family no matter what.

So that night, Ding Xiu actually stayed up late to read.

Yan Qingqing was very pleased to know this and praised Yuan Huiniang for her magnanimous work.

Besides, the Han family sent the birth dates of Li Yueniang and Han Yu to the Ministry of Rites, and within a few days it was determined that the two were a match made in heaven.

Mrs. Han was so excited that she started rummaging through the boxes again to prepare the betrothal gift.

Although the Han family has done some small business, their wealth is really not enough in front of the Li family.

Although Mrs. Han brought many betrothal gifts from Chengyang County, they were still not enough.

This made Mrs. Han and Mr. Han very worried.

I will be re-employed in a few days, what should I do?

When Han Yu came home from work, he saw his parents looking sad, which shocked Han Yu.

He quickly stepped forward and asked: "Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Father Han glanced at Han Yu and then lowered his head. Mrs. Han knew that her man did not have a "long mouth" and could not be counted on at all.

He pulled Han Yu and said, "Son, we are going to be hired soon, but you know the situation of our family.

Although your mother has prepared a lot of betrothal gifts for you, it is not enough in front of the Li family.

Moreover, Mrs. Mingzhao was promoted to the first rank, and the Li family was even more prosperous.

we……"

After hearing this, Han Yu immediately understood what Han's father and mother were thinking. His parents were afraid that without the betrothal gift, he would not be able to hold his head high in the family.

But Han Yu felt that his parents didn't need to worry at all, because Mrs. Mingzhao knew the situation of their family very well.

How much strength their family has and how much betrothal gift they can provide are naturally within the Li family's estimation.

Besides, since Yan Qingqing is optimistic about him and Li Yueniang also likes him, she definitely won't care how much the betrothal gift is, as long as they try their best.

So Han Yu comforted Han's father and Han's mother and said, "Don't worry about the betrothal gift. Let's just do our best.

It is a reality that our family is not as good as the Li family. I believe Auntie and Yue'er won't care.

Besides, the betrothal gift prepared by our family plus the gifts prepared by the Ministry of Rites and the rewards from the emperor are not too small.

At that time, I will ask a few colleagues to support the scene, and it should be enough. "

Han Yu also wants to give Li Yueniang the best, but the reality of the Han family is left here.

So Han Yu thought of putting some effort into other aspects and asked Ji, Wen Muyang and Xing Wenfeng to help him recruit people and support the situation for him.

It's not a good story that can be passed down later.

After hearing this, Han's father and Han's mother felt a little relieved, thinking that with Yan Qingqing's vision and temperament, he would not be biased against Han Yu because of the amount of the betrothal gift.

Soon it came to the eighth day of February, the day when the Han family went to Mingzhao Mansion to recruit people.

Not only is the Han family extremely busy, but the Li family is also extremely busy.

As Li Yueniang's sister-in-law and the young lady in charge of Mingzhao Mansion, Yuan Huiniang got up early in the morning.

Instruct the servants at home to clean the yard so as not to make people laugh when guests come to the house.

Then he ordered people to hang red silk at the door and on the tree, and suddenly the entire Mingzhao Mansion was filled with joy.

After doing these things, Yuan Huiniang came to Li Yueniang's yard with a lot of people.

Unexpectedly, Li Yueniang was still sleeping in.

Yuan Huiniang was immediately angry and speechless. She was still sleeping at this time. She had seen big-hearted people, but never such a big-hearted person.

Yuan Huiniang didn't care about anything else and broke into Li Yueniang's bedroom.

He forcefully pulled her up from the bed.

Li Yueniang, who was sleeping soundly, was startled. She squinted at Yuan Huiniang and muttered: "Sister-in-law, why did you get up so early?"

Yuan Huiniang laughed angrily at her and asked, "Do you know what day it is today?"

Li Yueniang didn't wake up at all, and asked in a daze: "What day?"

Yuan Huiniang said helplessly: "Today is the day for the Han family to hire someone!"

Hearing this, Li Yueniang jumped up from the bed with a cry, looked at Ruhua and accused: "Ruhua, why didn't you call me? Come on! Come on! Get my most beautiful dress."

picturesque:……

She called several times, but the girl didn't respond at all.

She didn't dare to pull the person out of the bed like the young lady did.
