Although the royal family is good, it is not a good destination for a woman. If possible, she would rather Jiang Shuyu marry an ordinary family than be helpless.
Hearing Ruan mention Xiao Jingchuan, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After all, they had a past that was too painful to recall. However, she soon remembered her current situation and her expression quickly relaxed.
"Prince Jing was unwell and went to see Master for treatment. Yu'er only met him briefly, so we're not that close!"
"That's good, that's good!" Thinking that her words were inappropriate, Ruan looked at Jiang Shuyu awkwardly: "Mother doesn't mean to interfere in your affairs, but there are many disputes in the royal family, and there are too many things that cannot be decided by us!"
Seeing Ruan's cautious attempts to please her, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in her eyes. She hurried over to Ruan's side and said affectionately, "Yu'er, you know mother is doing this for my own good! By the way, I heard father received a letter. Did he mention when he'll be back?"
Worried that Ruan would continue to worry about her, Jiang Shuyu hurriedly changed the subject. Sure enough, when Jiang Zhongming was mentioned, Ruan's face lit up. She hurriedly took Jiang Shuyu's hand and said happily, "I just got the letter today, and you know it. Your father said he would be back in a month. Although he is two whole months late, I am very grateful that he can come back safely!"
Jiang Shuyu's eyes were also full of smiles. You know, in Ruan's eyes, this was two months late, but in her eyes, it was a month early! But no matter what, now that her father is back, it is always a good thing.
"That's great! With this news, Mom can finally have a good night's sleep!"
"Oh my! You little girl, you're actually teasing your mother. You really deserve a beating!"
Hearing Madam Jiang's voice, Ruan was startled, then stood up and walked over. "Mother, if you want to see your daughter-in-law, you can just send someone to greet her. Why did you come here in person? Mother, please come in quickly. Madam Yang, please send some refreshments!"
"Yes, I will give the order right away!"
Madam Jiang held Ruan's hand with one hand and Jiang Shuyu's hand with the other, her face full of smiles: "Why bother with so much trouble? I was just bored staying in the courtyard, so I came out for a walk! I didn't expect Yu'er to be here today, what a coincidence!"
Jiang Shuyu naturally saw through Madam Jiang's thoughts, but she did not point it out. Jiang Zhongming was away fighting all year round, and besides Ruan, the person he was most concerned about was Madam Jiang.
Taking the teacup from Nanny Yang, Jiang Shuyu passed it to Old Madam Jiang. "Grandma, you've come at the right time. Father sent a letter with news of victory at the border. We'll be back in Kyoto soon!"
Upon hearing the news, Old Madam Jiang was immediately overjoyed. "Great! He's been away for so long, and now he's finally coming back. I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to see him often in my old age!"
"Mother, what are you saying? You are in good health and will surely live to be a hundred years old! You can't say such discouraging things!" Ruan said hurriedly.
Old Madam Jiang was at a loss for words. She looked at Jiang Shuyu and said, "Look at your mother. She's actually controlling me! She's really grown up! Haha..."
Ruan was raised by Old Lady Jiang since she was a child. She treated Ruan like her own daughter and naturally knew her good intentions.
Jiang Shuyu looked at Old Madam Jiang who was having a lot of fun, and shook her head helplessly. Then she said a few more words, which made Old Madam Jiang laugh. After they chatted for a while, Old Madam Jiang looked at Ruan and said:
"Tomorrow is Ya'er's coming-of-age ceremony. Everything has been arranged properly at the mansion. If we're short of manpower, have Yunsheng find some. We must ensure everything goes smoothly!"
Although the Duke Dingguo Mansion has been silent for many years and is no longer as glorious as it used to be, if we are going to do it, we must not let people laugh at us!
"Mother, don't worry, there will be no trouble tomorrow!"
Although she didn't care about worldly affairs in the past, it didn't mean that she didn't understand. She was just too lazy to argue with others. Now, even for the sake of her children, she has to fight for it!
"So good!"
Seeing that it was getting dark, Jiang Shuyu helped Madam Jiang leave.
The next day,
The morning light is dim and the sun is rising in the east.
Jiang Shuyu looked out the carved window and saw that it was already bright outside. Thinking that today was Jiang Shuya's coming-of-age ceremony, she sat up lazily.
When Yu Lan saw Jiang Shuyu wake up, she came over with the dress she had prepared long ago.
"Miss, what do you think of this one? Madam had it custom-made at Ruyi Pavilion a long time in advance. The styles are all the most fashionable at the moment!"
Jiang Shuyu felt warm in her heart, and she looked at the clothes in Yu Lan's hands with a smile in her eyes: "Mother has always had good taste! And it's a product of Ruyi Pavilion, so it must have taken a lot of thought!"
He was busy helping Jiang Shuyu change her clothes, and his mouth was not idle either: "Madam loves the young lady, so of course she is willing to do this. I heard that Ruyi Pavilion only accepts ten exclusive custom orders every month. The clothes they design are novel in style and expensive. Even so, they are in short supply."
Seeing Jiang Shuyu changing her clothes, Yu Lan couldn't help but be stunned. She saw Jiang Shuyu wearing a peach blossom misty silk dress, which made her look more graceful, charming and pretty.
No wonder Ruyi Pavilion's business is so brisk! This dress fits so perfectly, it's like it was tailor-made.
Yu Lan looked at the jewellery on the table and felt that they did not match each other more and more. However, it was too late to go to the storeroom to choose new ones.
Looking at the jewelry box next to her, Yu Lan's eyes lit up. How could she not have forgotten this!
Yesterday, the girl fell asleep after returning home, and forgot about the things that King Jing sent her. If King Jing could afford something, it must be a fine product. Yu Lan gently opened the box and was attracted by the things inside. There was a string of pink pearls inside. The faintly visible halo on the surface of the pearls revealed an elusive mysterious charm and elegant temperament, which made people unable to take their eyes away.
Yu Lan was delighted. This string of pink pearls was tailor-made for the girl's clothes. Yu Lan placed the item in front of Jiang Shuyu and said, "Miss, I will match this with this dress. What do you think?"
Jiang Shuyu looked at the pearls lying quietly in the box, emitting a soft light. You know, pearls are rare, let alone these pink ones. Each pearl is round and smooth, with a soft and delicate color. It is rare to see them.
Seeing Jiang Shuyu hanging her head in silence, Yu Lan couldn't help but say, "Miss, let me comb your hair!"
Jiang Shuyu nodded slightly, and then let Yu Lan clean up.
Yu Lan did not comb Jiang Shuyu's hair into a too complicated bun, but just gently tied her hair up with this string of pearls. The pink pearls with a faint halo were casually dotted in her hair, making her cloud-like hair even softer, shinier and more moisturized. The combination of the two showed her beautiful and charming figure.
