The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat

The Shen family's aunt and sister-in-law had been there for so long that they knew that Lu Qing was a person in charge and kept her word, so they thanked her profusely. From then on, they loved and cared for Lening even more, saying that they loved her like their own child.

Lu Qing returned to the study, took out another mobile phone, and opened it to find only one contact number.

I called and the person on the other end picked up immediately. They seemed to know who was on the other end. "Hello?"

"My husband has something to do and can't go to dinner tonight. It's not appropriate for me to go alone."

Zhang Xueren said, "Actually, I regretted it the moment I came back last night. Why should I make it difficult for you? Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry."

"I know Cindy is getting married soon, so I prepared some small things for her as a dowry. I have sent someone to your house to deliver them. Just accept them and say that they are from you. You don't need to tell me."

"That's thoughtful. I thank you on behalf of Cindy."

"Cindy is the same as my sister, so there's no need to thank her. With Zhang Chen here, you don't have to worry about the wedding. He's an old planner and has a lot of experience. I'll also help with that."

"Then I really have peace of mind."

Lu Qing smiled and said, "It's good to be relieved. Take a good rest. I have read your book. It is really well written and you have put a lot of effort into it. Take advantage of your stay in China to replenish your body. Next Monday is the day when the Chinese doctor will come to your house to check the pulse of the two elders. You should cooperate with him and let him treat you."

"Okay, whatever you say."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qing put her phone away again.

She opened the safe, picked out a set of diamond jewelry, called Huang Dong, and asked her to hand it over to the jewelry store owner who was coming to pick up the goods.

Huang Dong is a trouble-making person. He doesn't ask any extra questions and just keeps silent about it.

Cindy and Zhang Chen are getting married on National Day next month. The date is a bit late. Even though Zhang Chen has a lot of connections in this area, there are still many things he cannot book. Lu Qing helped solve all the difficult problems one by one.

Today I asked the owner of a jewelry store to send me a set of gold jewelry. It is called a set, but it is different from the usual three- or four-piece sets.

Zhang Chen's hometown is in the south, and Lu Qing knows a little about the local customs of brides getting married. Cindy said last time that she would go back to Zhang Chen's hometown to hold a wedding, so some things cannot be laughed at.

There are twelve pairs of gold bracelets, all of which are dragon and phoenix bracelets with sufficient gram weight, and six gold necklaces of different sizes. The more gold rings and gold earrings, the better. The owner of the jewelry store knows how to do business. He also sent pictures of the latest popular gold bridal headdresses. Lu Qing bought two sets of flying phoenix headdresses.

These gold jewelry, along with a set of diamond jewelry and a set of jade jewelry, were personally inspected by Lu Qing, sealed and sent to the Zhang family.

Lu Qing said on the phone that she wanted to send some small gadgets, and Zhang Xueren didn't take it seriously. But when they opened the box, the whole family was stunned.

"Brother! You bought too much! Gold is so expensive nowadays. You bought so much. I have asked around and found that most of the head ornaments and jewelry that brides wear on their wedding day are rented or borrowed."

Zhang Xueren couldn't say Lu Qing, so he had to admit it reluctantly, "It's okay, gold preserves its value."

"Ah! The bottom set is made of diamonds?! Good brother! You are so good to me!"

When Zhang's mother heard her daughter's voice, she came out of the bedroom and looked at it. "This is a lot of money. Is it pure gold? Oh, it's really not cheap. It's very heavy. How many grams does this bracelet weigh?"

Zhang Xueren had no idea how to answer. He glanced at the list and took it out and handed it to his mother.

Mother Zhang repeatedly instructed the maid to get the reading mirror from the bedside table, and then she looked at it with Cindy one by one.

"Twelve pairs of wide-rimmed dragon and phoenix bracelets in the style of the Republic of China. Let me see the weight. The weight is 50.52 grams, and the width is 18 millimeters. Oh, according to the old rules, this is called a one-and-a-half-liang gold bracelet! Son, you've lost all the money you've earned in the past few years, right?"

Zhang Xueren smiled and said nothing.

The mother and daughter then looked at the rings. "A pair of pure gold Phoenix wings rings, a pair of four-leaf clover rings, a pair of harmonious and beautiful lotus rings, and a pair of wealthy peony rings. The weight is 16 grams. Oh, this is so auspicious. They are all grams. It's thoughtful."

Seeing the lady happy, the maid Sister Wu also said, "Professor Zhang is so young, but he really understands human nature and social situations. How can many young people understand these things? They just buy things blindly. Look, what Professor Zhang bought is really good. When our Cindy gets married, her husband's family will know that we are particular people as soon as they see the jewelry."

There is no mother who doesn't like to hear others praise her son.

Mother Zhang was delighted by what she said and continued to look at what else was in the pretend box. "A pair of red agate earrings, a pair of jade earrings, a pair of pure gold inlaid jade earrings, and a pair of pearl earrings."

Sister Wu then praised, "Only a knowledgeable person would buy this. The pendant and the ornament mean that you will have many children and grandchildren. It's a good omen!"

"Really? That's great! The more children you have, the better! Next are two gold locks, two pairs of gold necklaces, a gold crown, and two sets of flying phoenix headdresses."

Sister Wu clapped her hands and said, "I have witnessed many of my nephews and granddaughters getting married, and none of them had as good a dowry as the one our eldest daughter prepared!"

Mother Zhang looked down and said, "There's more. A South African diamond necklace, a pair of diamond rings, in brackets it says, oh, one for each of his and hers, a bracelet, a pair of earrings. A watch for each of his and hers!"

Cindy was stunned. "Brother, I don't need to buy jewelry in my life!"

Zhang Xueren picked up the watch and couldn't help but smile. The token of love he gave to Lu Qing back then was a watch of this brand. After so many years, the lovers became friends, but she didn't forget.

"Sister, this watch is a vintage model, just wear it, it's old money style, not ostentatious."

Mother Zhang had been worrying about her daughter's dowry. Now that the most expensive and costly issue has been resolved, the rest will be easy.

"Cindy, your brother bought these things for you, so your dad and I can rest easy. And you haven't bought a car yet, so go pick one you like before you get married, and your dad and I will buy it for you!"

Cindy looked at the brilliant jewelry, and after she was shocked, she was moved. "Please don't buy me anything else! These things are already too expensive! I would feel guilty if I burdened my parents and brother for my marriage."

"Silly child, we were going to buy a car anyway. Just live a good life, and your father, your brother and I will be relieved. Zhang Chen is a good kid, he is witty but kind. I liked him the first time he came to our house."

Sister Wu said as she sorted out her jewelry, "That's right, this son-in-law is great. The first time he came to our house, he ate three bowls of rice and said it was good rice. This kind of man is great! He can eat and work!"

Zhang Xueren smiled and said, "Our rice is delicious. I have never eaten rice as delicious as this in any restaurant outside. It may also be that I have been out for too long and my sense of taste has failed."

Cindy said, "Your sense of taste is not impaired. That rice is genuine Wuchang rice. That piece of land was used to supply rice to the royal family in ancient times. Can you guess how much a pound of this rice costs?"
