Chapter 528: Chapter 274: Adding to the Dowry_3

Sister Hu bent her knees slightly again and said, "Yes." She had already noticed that the actual head of this family was the young lady before her.

Blue Bead then handed another embroidered pouch to Sister Hu. The pouch given as a reward to someone like Sister Hu contained six one-tael small silver ingots, not the small silver ingots given to servants.

A few people went together to the main compound, and Qian Sangui was also helped to the hall, where Pan Yue naturally shared a few words of her longing for her husband.

The meal was very quiet and harmonious, as Old man Qian and Old woman Qian were not present. Ever since they found out that Pan Yue was the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager, they had not dared to share a table with her. Moreover, they tried to avoid meeting her as much as possible, for they had not forgotten how they used to bully her.

In the afternoon, Qian Yixiu figured that Pan Yue should have finished her noon rest and went to Xiyue Pavilion. The courtyard of Xiyue Pavilion was very large, with many precious chrysanthemums on display. At this time, the chrysanthemums were blooming brilliantly, a riot of purples and reds, exuding a rich fragrance.

Many birds were hanging under the eaves around, chirping and singing. Especially the Myiophoneus that had been brought from the countryside, which thickly called out, "Yueyue, Yueyue, to hold your hand and to grow old with you... fight, fight, I want to fight..."

Upon hearing the bird’s nonsense again, Manjiang got up angrily and threw a corn kernel at its head. It then said in a thin voice, "Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, ah, thinking of you every day but not seeing you..."

When she heard it say that, Manjiang could not bring herself to scold it again.

As she was feeling conflicted, Yixiu entered the room.

Pan Yue was sitting under the eaves, with Ming Wa running wildly around the courtyard and Jingjing plucking flowers to play.

At this moment, the young mother was leisurely and elegant, beautiful and refined, with a happy smile on her face. In this entire house, the ones who could best adapt to all this were her and her young son and daughter.

Seeing her eldest daughter, she beckoned to her and gently opened her rosy lips, "Yixiu, come quickly, mother has kept something nice for you."

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Huang went into the house with a smile and brought out a piece of elegant Makeup flower satin. Most Makeup flower satins were richly ornate and had complicated patterns, while such understated elegance was relatively rare. On the ivory white base, folded plum blossoms were woven. Touching the satin, Pan Yue said, "I’ve thought about it, and I want to make a beautiful gown for Yixiu, it will be just right to go with that set of jewelry. It will look nice when you go out visiting."

This really was the true state of life for the young mother, beautiful clothes, beautiful jewelry, going out visiting...

Qian Yixiu laughed and said, "Mother, I already have so many gowns. This satin is so nice; let’s save it for now until I grow taller before making it." She thought of the clothes in her wardrobe, there were so many sets for spring, summer, autumn, and winter; she felt sorry for Old Master Pan.

While they were laughing and talking, Prince Consort Pan and his son Pan Yang unexpectedly arrived.

When Pan Yue saw Prince Consort Pan coming, she pouted and led her young son and daughter into the main room.

With the sound of the bead curtain, the shadow behind the curtain was no longer visible; only then did Prince Consort Pan reluctantly withdraw his gaze.

This was the first time since Yixiu entered the capital that she saw Old Master Pan; in less than a year, he had aged quite a bit. Although his face seemed to bear no additional wrinkles, his hair had at least turned half white.

For the first time, Yixiu felt a measure of sympathy for her maternal grandfather.

Manjiang and her daughter invited them into the east wing study, only then did they learn they had come to supplement Pan Yue’s dowry.

Prince Consort Pan handed a thick piece of paper to Yixiu, saying, "This is the dowry prepared for your mother, some left by her mother and some I prepared for her."

Having spent a long time in Guiyuan, Pan Zi’an knew that the household was headed by the granddaughter, so he gave the list of the dowry to Yixiu, without even giving it to his son-in-law. He still somewhat looked down on Manjiang, but since his daughter liked him, he dared not say a single word against the son-in-law.

Yixiu flipped through the thick list of the dowry, her hands trembling slightly.

She thought to herself, Old Master Pan, you are too rich. Young mother, you’ve struck it rich. Father Jiang, you are fortunate.

Inside were a thousand mu of good farmland, two manors, one house, four shops (two of which were in Jiangnan), one painted pleasure boat. Numerous antiques, famous paintings, calligraphy, and books, countless gold, silver and jewelry, numerous brocades and silks, various precious medicinal herbs, a set of gold-threaded nanmu furniture, and twenty thousand taels of silver in the dowry. Additionally, the furniture was already arranged in Xiyue Pavilion, and a small number of antiques and other items had already been brought to Qian Mansion beforehand.

All these added up to nearly two hundred thousand taels of silver.

Seeing that Yixiu had finished reading, Prince Consort Pan said, "Yixiu, have a look, if it’s alright, I’ll have someone go to the Yamen to register it, and tomorrow we can have the dowry brought over."
