After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms
Chapter 54: Honoring My Mother
It was already noon the next day when Yan Qing received the news from Desheng Pawnshop.
Qingluan whispered in Yan Qing's ear, "Ms. Young Miss's sidekick Chunhong had several boxes of dowry carried to Desheng Pawnshop last night. They were so busy all night that the owner of the pawnshop didn't even dare to rest."
Yan Qing looked at the account book in his hand and thought, "One night is enough to empty my dowry."
Qingluan nodded.
Yan Qing immediately said, "Let's go back home."
Qingluan was puzzled.
She knew that the young lady must have her own reasons for allowing the eldest daughter to pawn her dowry, but if she returned home at this time, wouldn't she be blackmailed by Madam Zhen again?
Yan Qing smiled and said, "They have so much money from me, they have to spend it, right?"
"Spending money? What do you want to buy, miss?"
At this time, Luzhi ran in happily, followed by a little maid, who was Xiaotao who served the old lady.
Xiao Tao walked up to Yan Qing holding a dressing box and said quietly, "Young Miss, these are the latest jewelry that the old lady asked me to buy at Baizhen Pavilion. The old lady said that the young lady usually wears... too plainly, so she asked me to give these to the young lady to choose from."
Yan Qing shook her head: "Grandma wouldn't say I'm dressed too plainly, she'd only say I dress like a dead person all day long!"
Xiaotao suddenly looked embarrassed.
The old lady did say that...
Lu Zhi said with a smile, "Miss, how about this? These are all hand-picked by this servant. They are all the most popular styles in Kyoto right now. If you buy a few beautiful dresses, that Lu Shizi will regret it so much that he will dig his eyes out!"
Yan Qing nodded: "Okay."
So, the group of people, along with their servants, headed straight for Chang'an Street and the Twelve Lanes.
Yan Qing made quite a fuss. He bought bird's nests in the East Market, ginseng in the West Market, hairpins and rings in the South Market, and antiques in the North Market. A total of twenty boxes of good things, big and small, more or less.
It made the people of Kyoto jealous.
Mrs. Jane was also jealous.
"Madam, those goodies are truly dazzling. The bird's nest is the best blood bird's nest from Baili Bird's Nest in the East Market. Madam, you usually eat second-rate ones. The ginseng is the century-old ginseng from Changshou Hall in the West Market. And that hairpin ring...tsk tsk tsk tsk, I heard that when they returned to the General's Mansion, the box was so full that it couldn't even be covered, blinding everyone on the street!"
Nanny Li's eyes turned red with jealousy.
The handkerchief in Madam Zhen's hand was nearly torn to pieces. She gritted her teeth and said, "What a bitch! She refused to give me the money I asked for, and now she's so brazenly using all the money in the mansion to subsidize the General's Mansion? When the Master comes back, I'll definitely sue her!"
Nanny Li was stunned for a moment and said, "Madam, I heard that the second young lady didn't buy those things for the general's mansion."
"If it's not the General's Mansion, who else could it be?"
"I bought it... for the eldest lady."
Nanny Li said awkwardly, "Everyone in Kyoto is saying that the Second Young Lady is grateful for the Madam's kindness in raising her and that she understands her mother's hardship. That's why all the nice things she bought today are to show her filial piety to the Madam!"
"what?"
Madam Zhen's eyes were red with anger: "Is Ye Xiruo worthy of this?!"
Nanny Li said sourly, "That's what I mean. The eldest lady hides in the backyard all day tending to the flowers and plants, and doesn't care about the affairs of the mansion at all. If it weren't for the lady taking care of it, who knows what a mess the Yan Mansion would be in. Second Miss, if you want to show filial piety, show it to you..."
"Tear--"
The handkerchief in Mrs. Jane's hand finally broke into two pieces.
Her face twisted as she asked, "When will the little bitch return home?"
"He said he would be back in the evening..."
"Good! Very good!"
Madam Zhen suddenly took a deep breath, her expression extremely gloomy: "Go to Wu'an Marquis Mansion right now to find Tan'er! You little bitch, you want to carry the sedan chair for the surname Ye? Dream on!"
……
evening.
After having dinner at the general's mansion, Yan Qing slowly returned to the Yan Mansion.
She had people beat drums and gongs along the way, singing praises of how much she loved her mother and how she wanted to repay her mother now that she had grown up.
They even had someone write a play about a loving mother and a filial daughter.
It makes anyone who hears it cry and anyone who listens to it feel sad.
"Wow, I didn't expect Miss Yan to be so filial..."
"Oh my god, so many good things, how much does it cost?"
"Is this about money? This is about filial piety! If my daughter were half as filial as Yan Er, I'd be so happy I'd jump into the moat!"
"That is to say, the Wu'an Marquisate didn't cherish such a good girl. No wonder she was arrested and taken to Jingzhao Prefecture recently. This is a punishment from heaven!"
The people were deeply moved by the play and Yan Qing's behavior, and even escorted her all the way back to Yan's mansion.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he ran into Yan Tan.
Yan Tan saw the crowd behind Yan Qing, his eyes darkened for a moment, then he stepped forward with his hands covering his smiling face: "Hey, sister is also returning home? Why did you bring so many things with you? If someone didn't know, they would think you were visiting your parents-in-law."
Yan Qing's expression was calm: "I bought it for my mother."
"That's a coincidence!"
Yan Tan immediately had the things brought up and opened them one by one: "I returned home today and brought something for my mother. I told her it was too valuable, but the Marquis insisted that I take it home to honor her. Sigh..."
A total of forty boxes of ginseng, bird's nest, gold, jade and antiques.
It directly blinded the crowd of onlookers!
"What? Miss Yan is also returning home to honor her mother?"
"Oh my god, I counted and it's twice as much as Miss Yan Er!"
"From what Miss Yan said, all this was given by the Marquis' Mansion? Isn't Marquis Wu'an a well-known stingy person? When did he become so generous?"
"No matter what, Miss Yan wins this time!"
Hearing the last words from the crowd, Yan Tan pursed her lips and smiled, then whispered to Yan Qing, "I'm sorry, sister. I didn't know you were coming home today, otherwise I would have asked the Marquis to give you less so that you wouldn't be embarrassed."
Yan Qing looked at the forty boxes of ginseng and bird's nests behind her.
Eat it, how much can you eat now?
How ugly it will be when you cry in the future!
She smiled faintly: "Then sister, please don't let Lord Hou down."
After saying that, he ignored Yan Tan.
Yan Qing and his men walked into the Yan Mansion calmly.
Yan Tan originally thought that Yan Qing would be so angry that she would scream, but unexpectedly, she was not angry at all. She stomped her feet and waved her hand for someone to follow her into the mansion.
Looking at Yan Qing's back, Yan Tan's eyes showed confusion.
It was obvious that in the past, Yan Qing would be so angry that she would lose her mind if she provoked her even a little bit. Today, she provoked her so blatantly, but she was so calm?
Yan Tan always felt that there was something strange about Yan Qing.
It seems that ever since she divorced Brother Qiao, she has become somewhat unpredictable.
No, she had to go and see——
