C88 (1/2)

Jiang Wan, who was wholeheartedly waiting to be married, did not know anything about what had happened in Jun Yutang.

At this moment, she was looking through a rosewood box that was not much bigger than her palm.

Last night, Xiao Rui put this into her hands and smiled, ”I'll keep this for you as money for your makeup.”

At that time, she thought that he had stuffed a box of banknotes into her hands, so she didn't pay much attention to it. However, after taking it out to look at, she realized that it was all land deed documents and indenture contract.

Jiang Wan instructed Clove and Jasmine to stand guard outside while she roughly looked at the land deed documents: two farms, one for two thousand mu, one for three thousand mu. It took up more than half of the entire street. Even in her previous life, when Jiang Wan was unable to understand the business of a concubine, she still knew how expensive the land in the southern part of the city was. It was said that just the rent collected by this shop alone was ten thousand silver a year.

With a ”pa” sound, Jiang Wan closed the rosewood box, no longer in the mood to look at the indenture contract.

Ten thousand taels of silver a year's rent, in addition to the income from the farm, made her a little afraid to continue thinking about it.

How was this money made out of makeup!

Wasn't Xiao Rui too generous?

Jiang Wan quickly hid the purple sandalwood box in the clothes box and covered it with her clothes.

But after a while, feeling insecure, she dug the box out of her clothes and hid it under the shelf of the bed.

However, no matter where she hid the box, she felt a wave of unease in her heart.

For the first time, Jiang Wan felt that money was a hot item.

Thinking about how easily Xiao Rui Xuan had handed the purple sandalwood box to him, he guessed that it contained all of his possessions and life.

Even if it was really lost, it shouldn't matter …

Jiang Wan comforted herself.

Days passed, day by day. The day of Jiang Wan's marriage was drawing closer and closer.

On the fifth day of the sixth month, several black-painted horse-headed carriages suddenly stopped outside Sansui Alley. The curtains of Xiang Feizhu hung over them.

After getting the letter, née Qin enthusiastically came out to welcome them, just in time to see a very buxom woman leading a tall woman wearing an apricot hat and dress.

”I thought you guys wouldn't make it in time.” The Qin family quickly stepped forward.

”How could that be!” The well-built woman said with a face full of smiles, ”Since you married your daughter for such a big matter, you should at least come here to show your respect as my sister-in-law.”

This person was none other than Qin Shi's sister-in-law, Jiang Shi. She turned to the tall woman behind her and said, ”Yuan, come and greet your aunt.”

The woman named Yu An stepped forward and bowed towards née Qin: ”Qin Yuan greets aunty.”

née Qin smiled and nodded, instructing her mother to help out the servant women of the Jiang family while she led her and Qin Yuan through the drooping flower gate.

The box was an amber color. It was not old, but the patterns on the wood were smooth and clear. The four corners were wrapped with bronze cloud patterns. It looked simple and quiet, giving off a heavy feeling.

”Truly extravagant. They actually used the Pear Blossom Wood.” When the Jiang Clan servant saw this, she could not help but sigh emotionally.

Although his family couldn't read properly, they were very good at doing business.
