Chapter 414: Not Marrying Two Women in One Year
"I am the eldest sister, so I should be the one taking care of you, but you, the younger sister, have to worry about everything for me. This is the shop you gave me, so I shouldn't add money to your makeup, but unfortunately I am a weak sister, so I don't have anything else to give you."
Lu Shian snatched the deed from her hand and said, "Sister, we are sisters, I am not just teasing you, take these, and when you get married, I will buy you another one. As for mother, I also left a shop for her to ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing."
Lu Shi'an and Shen Teng opened shops in various places, among which grain shops were the most numerous, followed by hot pot restaurants. Lu Shi'an gave a few shops to his eldest sister and gave two shops to Yu Xiuying.
Yu Xiuying sighed: "Our family has been able to gain a foothold in Anjing thanks to Shi'an."
"Mom, I don't want to hear you say that. We are a family, and a family should support each other."
Yu Xiuying smiled and said, "Yes, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that."
Lu Xianchun wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lu Shian.
"But when I get married, my elder sister should give me some dowry. So, I'll go to Jinlou to choose. Once I've made my choice, will you pay for it?"
Lu Xianchun knew what Lu Shian meant and nodded with a smile: "Okay, but let's make it clear first, I have the final say on the style."
As the mother and daughter were talking, a maid came in from outside: "The old lady asked Miss Shi'an to come over."
The three of them looked at each other, and Lu Shian asked, "Did she tell me why she wanted me to come over?"
The little maid shook her head: "I don't know."
Lu Xianchun motioned the little maid to go out, and then said, "It should be related to your marriage."
Lu Shian nodded: "Well, I'll go over and take a look, you guys wait for me."
As soon as Lu Shian left, the matchmaker from the Qin Mansion arrived.
A few days after the Queen Mother issued the decree for the marriage, the Qin family came to pay the betrothal gifts. There were as many as eighteen loads of gifts sent to the Marquis's residence.
It was also on that day that the Qin family took Lu Xianchun's horoscope.
The matchmaker came today to tell Lu Xianchun the date of her wedding.
"April 16th, doesn't that mean she's getting married like Shi'an?"
The matchmaker smiled and said, "Double happiness, this is a great thing, and this date was chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, so it can't be wrong."
Lu Xianchun frowned: "The wedding date is chosen based on the birth dates of the two people. The date chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is only suitable for the prince and Shi'an."
The implication came out subconsciously.
The matchmaker continued to laugh and said, "Miss Xianchun, you don't know this. Not marrying two girls in one year means not holding two wedding banquets. You two can avoid it by getting married on the same day. What's wrong with getting married on the same day as your sister? I think it's a good idea."
Yu Xiuying knew this statement. She gave Lu Xianchun a wink, and Lu Xianchun turned around and went back into the house.
The date has been set and it generally won't be changed unless there is something important.
Yu Xiuying chatted with the matchmaker for a while. The matchmaker was also a tactful man. After drinking a cup of tea, he got up and left, making the excuse that he had to go back to report to the Qin Mansion.
Just as Lu Xianchun said, the wife of the Marquis had indeed called her over for Lu Shian's marriage.
Lu Shian came in and saluted to the wife of the Marquis: "Hello, grandma."
The wife of the Marquisate forced a smile, as if they had never quarreled before: "Sit down."
As soon as Lu Shian sat down, a maid came in carrying things.
"I prepared these for you. Take a look and see if you are dissatisfied with them."
Lu Shian had just sat down when he stood up again. The maids brought him head ornaments and jewelry.
Some are made of gold, some are made of jade, and some are made of pearls.
Lu Shian raised her eyebrows. She didn’t expect that the wife of the Marquis would be willing to give her such a good thing.
The wife of the Marquis winked at the nanny beside her, and the nanny brought out another brocade box.
She said, "Since Madam knew the day of Miss's wedding, she has started to prepare a dowry for Miss. These are what Madam took out from her own dowry."
The nanny opened the brocade box and revealed the contents.
"These are three shops, and there is another 10,000 taels for your personal use."
"Thank you grandma."
"You are my grandmother, so it is only natural for me to add some makeup to my granddaughter. Take a look at these headwear and take any you like."
"Grandma's things are naturally all top-quality. Shi'an wants every piece he sees, but he can't take away Grandma's favorites."
After saying that, she looked at those things again, and finally chose a bracelet: "This is it."
The wife of the Marquis thought that Lu Shian would ask for a high price, but she didn't expect that he only chose a bracelet in the end.
The expression on her face eased slightly: "Since these are out, they are all for you, take them all."
Lu Shian put the table on his hand and said, "No, grandma has given me a lot, how can Shian accept it all."
Upon seeing this, the nanny waved to the maids, and they retreated with the things.
"I know that we had a misunderstanding before, which made you feel resentful towards me. In fact, you don't need to be like this. The Marquis' Mansion will always be your confidence. Similarly, you should also consider the Marquis' Mansion in everything. If the Marquis' Mansion is good, you can be good in your husband's family. If the Marquis' Mansion is not good, you will not be good in your husband's family. Do you understand this principle?"
The reason why Lu Shian was willing to speak to the wife of the Marquis in a nice tone today was because the two sisters were about to get married.
By then, Yu Xiuying will be the only one left in the mansion. If the wife of the Marquis wants to take revenge on her, it will be an easy task.
"I took note of everything grandma said."
Seeing Lu Shian being so well-behaved today, the wife of the Marquis nodded in satisfaction: "Well, that's all. Yes, every word and action represents the Marquisate. When you go to the prince's place in the future, you should pay more attention to your words and actions."
"Yes!"
For Yu Xiuying, Lu Shian was willing to act like a good little maid in front of the wife of the Marquis.
Anyway, the wife of the Marquis doesn't dare to do anything to her now.
The wife of the Marquis gave a few more instructions before letting Lu Shian leave.
After Lu Shian left, the wife of the Marquis's mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It would be great if this girl was really such a person."
How could the wife of the Marquis not know that this girl was only pretending to be well-behaved, but was actually very fierce.
The nanny said, "Those things..."
"Send them all over. After all, she is marrying the prince, so our mansion can't be too shabby."
The wife of the Marquis knew that Lu Shian was capable, and she also guessed that she should have some money.
But I thought that she was just a girl who was not even 18 years old, how much money could she have?
That's why he was willing to spend so much money to buy her makeup.
If she knew that Lu Shian had more than a dozen shops, tens of thousands of acres of land, and a workshop, she would never give Lu Shian so much.
Originally only Lu Shi'an was married, and now Lu Xianchun is added, making these marquisates even busier.
