Chapter 250 Jingyi's Spring (Part )
Ignoring the people in the main hall, the close-knit pair of sisters were now holding hands, heads pressed tightly together, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation, as they enthusiastically discussed various matters related to the wedding.
Suddenly, Minyan pulled out a delicate letter from her sleeve like a magic trick and quickly handed it to Jingyi. Then, her bright eyes kept blinking, as if she was giving Jingyi some hint.
Jingyi, who was originally immersed in a heated discussion, was a little stunned by the sudden appearance of the letter in front of her. However, when she looked up and saw her cousin's meaningful expression, she immediately understood.
Suddenly, a shy blush crept onto her cheeks like a sunset glow. It was a light pink at first, then gradually deepened until it turned a deep red. Even her small, cute ears were not spared, turning bright red like ripe apples.
Jingyi stomped her foot coquettishly and muttered, "Sister Minyan is so annoying!"
Hearing this, Minyan couldn't help but laugh out loud, but at the same time she couldn't help but shudder. Seeing her cousin, who had always been steady and dignified, now so shy and lovely, she secretly sighed in her heart that the magic of love was really powerful.
The reason Jingyi now displayed such an endearing expression can be traced back to the spring of the previous year. Back then, with Minyan's wedding approaching, she needed to start learning how to manage her dowry and other matters. So, Buerhe thought about having Jingyi return to the Ulanara household to learn these skills in advance with Minyan.
Initially, the two sisters remained confined to their mansion, diligently learning how to organize the lavish dowry that would accompany their wedding. They meticulously sorted and arranged each item, striving for perfection. After a period of effort, when all the dowry arrangements were successfully completed, they began to plan their next step: personally inspecting the shops and other businesses related to dowry in the capital.
During the Qing Dynasty, the social environment offered a relatively wide range of tolerance to women of Manchu banner origin, a situation that became even more pronounced after Yinreng ascended the throne.
Since the current emperor has great respect for his favorite queen, and can even be said to be devoted to her, this behavior has indirectly led to a significant improvement in the status of women in the entire Qing Dynasty without anyone noticing.
Today, many families no longer stubbornly believe that they must give birth to a son to bring honor to their ancestors and continue the family line. With the Empress as a role model, everyone has come to realize that giving birth to a daughter as outstanding as the Empress is also a great blessing.
Consider the Ulanara family. Ever since Burhe became empress, the family has prospered, their fortunes soaring. According to custom, not only was Burhe's father granted the prestigious title of Duke Cheng'en, but her grandmother and mother were also granted the title of First-Class Duke's Lady, enjoying the utmost splendor and wealth. With all this, who could say having a daughter is inferior to having a son?
The next to appear were the brothers. Let's talk about the eldest brother first. He was originally just a first-class guard, but with his outstanding martial arts and unwavering loyalty to the royal family, he has now been successfully promoted to the commander of the guards. It can be said that he has risen to the top at a rapid pace!
Looking at my second brother, he had a smooth career and became the governor of the Nine Gates. This position was crucial, as it controlled the security of the capital's gates and carried a lot of responsibility and power!
Then there was my third brother, who had chosen the path of a civil servant. After years of hard work, he had now reached the rank of fourth-rank official. Although such a rank might not be particularly impressive in a city teeming with talent, he was fortunately transferred to a provincial post two years ago.
As the saying goes, "The emperor is far away, and the sky is high." In his local position, he has been able to fully display his talents and ambitions, governing his jurisdiction in an orderly manner. He is now a truly powerful official! And if the current situation continues to develop, if he can receive several outstanding performance evaluations in the next few years, when the time is right, he can be transferred back to the capital again, and at least reach the rank of a third-rank official!
As for Buer and the fourth brother Wu Ge, he is even more amazing! He has always been closely following Prince Zhi. In recent years, he has either been busy training troops or fighting on the battlefield. He is a rising star!
Let’s talk about the heroine Jingyi in our story. She also met her destined husband, the brave and fearless Mr. Baturu, during their visit to inspect Minyan’s industry.
I remember that sunny day, Jingyi and Minyan went to one of the jewelry stores under their name to check on the business situation. As soon as they entered the store, they saw two little girls, about twelve or thirteen years old, arguing fiercely.
At first, it was just a verbal exchange between the two sides, but gradually the situation escalated and finally developed to the point of physical fighting!
As the owner of the shop, Minyan's heart tightened when she saw what was happening. If she turned a blind eye to such a thing, she was afraid it would have a negative impact on her shop. So, without hesitation, she quickly stepped forward and tried to mediate the dispute.
The Dolar Princess seemed quite reasonable. After the sisters' earnest persuasion, she seemed to realize that this was a conflict between them and had nothing to do with the shop. Therefore, Dolar Princess had already made plans to leave, hoping to calm the storm.
However, at this moment, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The young princess opposite her was furious. Not only did she order her servants to stop the two sisters and Princess Dolar from leaving, she even went so far as to demand that Princess Dolar kowtow to her and admit her mistake!
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. What kind of blunder could possibly warrant such a grand and humiliating apology? Such aggressiveness and relentlessness were truly shocking. Even the onlookers felt it was excessive, let alone the sisters, who had seen so much. At this moment, they too were stunned.
Of course, Princess Dolar was not willing to give in easily. After all, they had just had a minor argument over a small piece of jewelry, and in the end, she was clearly the one who was truly at fault.
Even if we take a step back and say that she was indeed at fault, why should she be punished with such an extremely severe punishment as kowtowing and admitting her fault? Thinking of this, Princess Dolar straightened her back and looked directly at the arrogant and domineering little princess with a firm gaze, without any intention of backing down.
Things had developed to this point, and even if Minyan wanted to resolve the matter without anyone noticing, it was obviously impossible. In addition, with her current status, it seemed that she was not enough to subdue the arrogant and unreasonable little princess opposite.
At this moment, Jingyi stood up without hesitation, revealed her identity, and expressed her willingness to personally come forward to adjudicate this thorny dispute.
The matter itself was not complicated. Princess Dolar simply fell in love with a set of exquisite and gorgeous headwear, but she was short of money, so she stayed in the store and waited for her servants to go back and get the money.
As luck would have it, at this critical moment, another Wanyan Princess also happened to take a fancy to the headdress in front of Dolar Princess. She completely ignored the store owner and Dolar Princess's strong dissuasion and insisted on buying it.
The shopkeeper naturally didn't dare to agree lightly, after all, they still understood the principle of first come, first served. And Doral Gege was a straightforward person. Seeing someone being so unreasonable, she was even more determined to stop him.
Neither side gave in, and the two engaged in a reckless brawl in front of the shopkeeper. Remember, these two women were both from prominent families, and their status was high. Although the shopkeeper tried to mediate, their status far surpassed his, and he couldn't get a word in. Just as their argument reached its peak, Jingyi and Minyan arrived.
