After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times
Chapter 22 Uncle is here
Yu Tingwan nodded in thanks, "Before, I was thinking that if this man was really the concubine's cousin, it would be difficult to deal with. Now that the concubine and my second sister both said that they don't know this person, it will be easier to deal with."
"Master Xu, please follow the current laws and regulations. As for whether there are other people like this in other shops, I hope you can help and deal with them all at once."
As for the previous profits of these shops, Yu Tingwan knew that if she pushed them too hard now, they might become desperate. Her mother's tablet was still here, so she had to find a way to let her mother leave the Shangshu Mansion with a legitimate reason!
Lord Xu nodded and had Manager Li taken away. As for the properties, they could only be returned to Yu Tingwan after the matter was settled.
Afterwards, when everyone thought that nothing else happened, another person came. This person was none other than the current Minister of Personnel Jiang Hongyi, the uncle of Princess Chen!
He did not come alone. There was a long team following him, which was so endless that there were many horse-drawn carriages. On the carriages were countless large boxes with red flowers on them!
When everyone looked again, they found that there was even a suona band dressed in red and green. What was going on?
Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, Jiang Hongyi led his men through the crowd and stood in front of Yu Tingwan.
He first bowed to Prince Hong, then looked at Yu Tingwan and said:
"When the Grand Master heard that his granddaughter was getting married and no one in the family knew about it, he was so angry that he even smashed several sets of tea sets but still couldn't vent his anger. When he learned about what happened today, he asked me to rush here to deliver the dowry to Princess Chen."
Yu Tingwan was slightly stunned. Sending a dowry?
How come she didn't know about this? Moreover, it wasn't a dowry but a trousseau?
She remembered that she had only asked Lan Yue to ask for a list of her mother's dowry yesterday. How could...
But looking at the eyes of Jiang Hongyi and the men behind him.
Yu Tingwan suddenly understood something and pursed her lips slightly.
He leaned on Qingzhu's body and stood up slightly, and bowed to them like them.
"Tingwan is unfilial. Thank you so much to my grandfather, my two uncles, my aunt, and my cousins. How is my grandfather? Is he still strong? It's my fault that I haven't been able to visit him for so long and made him worry."
This ceremony was more of a tribute on behalf of the original owner. The original owner had not been to the Grand Tutor's Mansion for many years, and the old lady must have been heartbroken. But she still had to go there in person to apologize on behalf of the original owner.
The Jiang family members didn't expect her to act like this suddenly, especially because she bowed, a gesture that only men should perform.
I was unable to react for a moment and just stood there and accepted the greeting.
After he realized what was happening, he bowed and retreated.
"Your Highness, your words are too polite. I dare not accept your gift. The Grand Master is in good health. Your Highness can rest assured."
Seeing them like this, Yu Tingwan finally realized that the class system in ancient times was extremely strict. If his actions were noticed by someone with ulterior motives, he was afraid that something bad would happen.
Thinking of this, Yu Tingwan stood up and raised his voice slightly.
"Uncle, you don't have to do this. This courtesy is out of respect from the younger generation to the elders. It has nothing to do with the identity of the princess. Uncle, you deserve this respect."
There were some officials present at the scene. After seeing what had just happened, they were preparing to go back and think about how to report Minister Jiang when they heard Princess Chen say this.
They are just showing respect as juniors, and the princess doesn't care. Can you go and make trouble for no reason and prevent the princess from fulfilling her filial piety?
The smart man immediately extinguished his thoughts and continued to watch the show obediently.
Jiang Hongyi didn't expect that his niece whom he hadn't seen for many years had such a delicate heart. She no longer had that confused look she had before, and he felt very distressed.
If there is no other choice, who would be willing to grow to this point in such a short time and give up their innocent appearance!
Looking at the warm and affectionate scene over here, and then looking at the biological father Yu Shangshu over there, he was staring at Princess Chen with a gloomy expression.
The onlookers shook their heads in their hearts. It was no wonder that the princess treated her biological father like this. Just looking at the dowry that the Jiang family gave to the princess, it was enough to show how much they valued him. The few small boxes given by the Shangshu Mansion could not compare to it at all.
Wait, a dowry for the princess? Isn't it a dowry? Could it be that Minister Jiang was too angry and made a slip of the tongue?
"All of these are the dowry for the princess, as well as the deeds to eight shops in the best locations in the capital. They are our token of appreciation. Although we didn't make it in time for your wedding, it's not too late now."
Yu Tingwan shook his head repeatedly. Not to mention the things on the carriage, even the value of these eight shops was unpredictable.
"Thank you grandpa, uncles, aunts, and cousins for your trouble!"
Yu Tingwan looked at her cousin who was blinking at her from behind and almost laughed out loud.
But at this point, things were almost coming to an end, and she could do the last thing she wanted to do.
He turned around and looked at where Minister Yu was standing. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by his uncle.
"Minister Yu, the Grand Master has something else for me to tell you."
Jiang Hongyi looked at the boxes brought over by the palace guards, his eyes full of contempt, and then looked at Minister Yu and said:
"The Grand Tutor said that it is understandable that Yu Shangshu is too busy to take care of Tingwan's marriage. In this case, Yu Shangshu only needs to give Tingwan the things her mother left her. He won't have to worry about the rest. Just treat it as the eldest daughter of our Grand Tutor's mansion getting married."
"Minister Yu, take these back!"
Everyone was shocked by this statement. The Grand Tutor's Mansion meant to sever ties with Princess Chen and the Shangshu Mansion!
Moreover, with the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion marrying off, the status of the Princess of Chen has been elevated. Although some ceremonies are gone, this sentence alone is enough to make people no longer look at the Princess of Chen in the same light as before!
Seeing that the palace guards did not move, Jiang Hongyi turned and glanced at everyone in the palace. Several guards looked at each other, then glanced in the direction of the princess and saw Qingzhu nodding at them.
They lifted the boxes in their hands and put them down on the steps in front of Yu Shangshu's house. As a result, they accidentally opened the lids of the boxes, revealing everything inside.
Upon seeing this, the leading guard hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted towards Minister Yu.
"Sorry, Lord Yu. We are all rough men. We have never done the job of carrying small boxes. We are destined to lift heavy objects. We are not good at lifting heavy objects, but the things inside should not be damaged."
After saying that, he lowered his head and took another look at the things in the boxes, raised his eyebrows and said:
"However, if anything is broken, Lord Yu can have someone come to the palace to look for us. We can afford to compensate for it with our salaries. Lord, please don't keep it to yourself."
After saying that, they clasped their fists, turned around and went back to the carriage, not caring about the expressions of the people inside at all.
And our Minister Yu was so angry that his chest was heaving and he was almost rolling his eyes!
The onlookers who heard what they said were still thinking that it was good to work in the palace. The salary was so high, could it be enough to pay the dowry of the princess from the Shangshu Mansion?
Everyone tilted their heads and looked over, and saw several pieces of cloth that they could all buy, and several hairpins that most people could use. The only valuable things were probably the few silver bills inside!
Oh, and there are these dressing table tops outside to support the look.
Even the onlookers had looks of disgust on their faces. With these things, not to mention the employees in the palace, even a restaurant owner could afford it!
No wonder the Grand Tutor’s Mansion was angry and made such a decision.
With the things produced by the Shangshu Mansion, Miss Yu would be looked down upon even if she married into a merchant family, let alone marrying into the royal family.
This is simply bullying Miss Yu because she has no mother!
"Hmph!" Jiang Hongyi snorted coldly and wanted to say something, but when he thought of his deceased sister, he swallowed his words back.
Her tablet is still in the Shangshu Mansion. They had thought about taking Wanyun's tablet back, but for some unknown reason, Yu Huaiyi asked the emperor for a posthumous decree in the name of missing his first wife.
The emperor actually agreed and ignored their petition. However, they took Ting Wan in the Shangshu Mansion into consideration, so they allowed Wan Yun to stay here.
Now, Jiang Hongyi was in front of the Shangshu Mansion, too close to his sister's tablet. He didn't want her to hear these messy words, so he would just keep them for Yu Huaiyi to hear in the court!
