Bab 33: Full Moon
Two days later, Grand Preceptor An ordered someone to bring over a high-quality jade pendant to his grandson. An Jin did not put the jade pendant on Ping An, but instead carried him to the capital's Pilu Monastery early in the morning on a full moon. She asked someone to carve the word 'peace' on the long lock for peace's sake.
In her previous life, when Ping grew up, he followed his father and left the army. Compared to the jade pendant that Grand Preceptor An had given him, which represented wealth and fortune, she was more concerned about whether his son was safe or not.
The palace also sent a congratulatory gift on the day of the full moon. An Jinxiu did not think too much about it, her marriage with Shangguan Yong could also be considered to have been bestowed by the Emperor.
After the safe and peaceful full moon feast that night ended, Zi Yuan showed An Jin a gift slip.
When An Jin saw the list, she realized that Bai Chengze had also ordered someone to send her a valuable gift.
"Miss," Zi Yuan said worriedly to An Jinxiu, "what is the Fifth Prince planning to do?"
An Jinxiu put down the gift list. What was Bai Chengze planning to do with a gift worth close to a thousand taels of silver? Now that she was living a peaceful life and didn't have any contact with this person, why did this person still have to appear in front of her? To win over Shangguan Yong? At this time, Bai Chengze could already see Shangguan Yong's future achievements?
"Miss, please say something." Zi Yuan looked at An Jinxiu and did not say anything for a long time. She became anxious, "Can you accept this gift? If Young Master finds out about this, will he be unhappy? "
Before An Jin could speak, Shangguan Rui's voice came from outside the door, "Eldest sister-in-law, did you rest?"
"No, Brother-in-law can come in," An Jinxiu said to Shangguan Rui outside the door after she hide the gift slip from Bai Chengze.
Shangguan Rui walked in with a gift slip in his hand. "Eldest sister-in-law, this is a gift from the imperial concubine. Take a look at it."
An Jinxiu did not expect An Jinyan to give her a present as well. Looking at the gift list, she knew that her older sister's gift was not light either.
"Eldest Sister-in-Law," Shangguan Rui said, "Can you accept this gift?"
An Jinxiu glanced at Shangguan Rui, but she knew that her brother-in-law was an exceptionally shrewd person. In her previous life, Shangguan Rui was by Shangguan Yong's side, and the matter of Shangguan Yong's military plan was almost taken care of by Shangguan Rui.
After she stole Shangguan Yong's military talisman to help Bai Chengze massacre the capital city, Shangguan Rui saw the situation clearly and strongly advised Shangguan Yong to join Bai Chengze, which allowed the Shangguan family's wealth to rise to a whole new level. "Sigh!" An Jinxiu let out a sigh. She said that she didn't want to go back to her previous life, but she couldn't control herself to remember.
"I just don't understand why the Crown Prince's consort who had never had any great relationship with eldest sister-in-law. Why did she send such a great gift this time?" Shangguan Rui said bluntly. He didn't have the slightest intention of scheming anything.
At this moment, Zi Yuan said, "Miss, Second Young Master, I'm still boiling water in the kitchen. Zi Yuan will be leaving first."
An Jinxiu nodded and let Zi Yuan off, then followed behind Shangguan Rui, saying, "To tell you the truth, perhaps the crown prince knew in advance that His Majesty would send a congratulatory gift over, which was why the Eastern Palace sent a gift in the name of the crown prince's consort."
Shangguan Rui said, "You're saying they're just trying to please His Majesty?"
An Jinxiu smiled bitterly, "Who can say for sure about the matters in the imperial court?" Brother-in-law, your big brother isn't home, so you should be the one to come up with an idea. "
Shangguan Rui said: "This is a gift for my sister-in-law's sake."
"If I really had that much of a reputation, your big brother wouldn't have to risk his life to fight on the battlefield," An Jinxiu said in a low voice with a lonely expression. "Your big brother supported this family. At most, I would just be guarding the inner chamber."
When Shangguan Rui heard her words, he hurriedly stood up and bowed to her as a form of apology.
An Jinxiu quickly stood up from her chair and asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
Shangguan Rui said seriously to An Jinxiu: "Sister-in-law, I said the wrong thing, don't take it to heart. I respect my elder brother and also respect my elder sister-in-law."
A smart person against a smart person, many things didn't need to be said very clearly. Shangguan Rui didn't want his elder brother to have the reputation of relying on his wife to accomplish everything, while An Jinxiu followed Shangguan Rui to emphasize that everything in the Shangguan Family was Shangguan Yong's doing.
She was also making a promise with Shangguan Rui that she wouldn't use her identity as the Grand Preceptor's daughter to forcefully suppress Shangguan Yong.
An Jinxiu returned An Jinyan's gift slip to Shangguan Rui and smiled, "Why are you saying all these things to your own family? Brother-in-law, what should we do about this matter? "
Shangguan Rui shook his head and said, "I'm not a butler, so let's just leave this to sister-in-law."
"Then," An Jinxiu said, "Put this gift to one side and don't touch it. When we get the chance, we'll return it." An Jinxiu had made up her mind. Not only was An Jinyan's courtesy dealt with like this, Bai Chengze's gift also had to be dealt with.
In short, she couldn't let Shangguan Yong accept the kindness of these two, otherwise, the matter would be difficult to resolve.
Shangguan Rui had the same idea, but after hearing An Jinxiu say so, he nodded and agreed.
At this point, Ping An woke up from his sleep in the bed and started to groan and cry.
An Jinxiu turned around and walked to the bed. She picked up Ping and started to coax in a low voice.
Shangguan Rui didn't know when his elder brother would return, since Ping had already handled the full moon wine and still the son had not met his father.
