Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 2030 - 2038: Yanran Enters the Capital (Part 3)

That is to say, she has transferred all her shares in Mi Fangzhai to her sister-in-law. Mi Fangzhai’s rouge is the most famous rouge in the Great Jin Nation, the foremost brand of rouge powder in the Great Jin Nation. Inside the palace, the high concubines and Cai Wei, Bright Pearls mother and daughter use Mi Fangzhai’s rouge. During holidays and festivals, Cai Wei often grants Mi Fangzhai’s rouge to the Eldest Princess and various royal consorts, princesses, and high-ranking noble ladies.

Mi Fangzhai supplies the royal family’s rouge powders and spices, and as an Imperial Merchant, its reputation is widely known in the Great Jin Nation, and its business is flourishing, making a fortune daily. Cai Wei has handed so many shares to Yanran all at once, showing her importance and affection for her!

Yanran generously accepted. In her youth in the capital, she had heard her mother say that the Empress Dowager came from a merchant family, and her properties were wealthy enough to rival a nation. Now it seems that her fame is indeed deserved, with such grand gestures.

Knowing that the Empress Dowager sincerely bestows, and the Empress Dowager’s gifts couldn’t be refused, she accepted them with gratitude and emotion.

The meeting gift from Fei’er to her is a silk shop named Fa’s Manor, which was Fei’er’s sister’s dowry back in the day. After years of management, it has become the largest fabric shop in the capital, selling various high-end silks and ready-made garments, accompanied by fur coats and fine gauze, with daily sales exceeding five to six hundred taels, second only to Mi Fangzhai.

Compared to the gifts from the two prestigious sisters, the future little brother-in-law’s gift seemed a bit modest, just two pieces of top-grade black fox skin, nothing more. The little brother-in-law is still at home, hasn’t married, and has no property given by the family, receiving only a hundred taels of silver as pocket money each month. These two skins at least are worth two or three hundred taels, probably bought with personal savings accumulated over two or three months. Though not on par with the sisters’ meeting gifts, the sentiment was sincere, and Yanran accepted with gratitude.

The younger aunt Die’er was not in the capital, having gone with her husband, King Jing, to the fief, but sent a box of exquisite and expensive jewelry to add to the future sister-in-law’s adornment.

Die’er has given birth to a robust little heir, whom the Consort Huo dotes on like her precious jewel, holding him in her arms all day, unable to part with him. King Jing’s fief is far from the capital, making coming and going inconvenient. The little heir is so young that he can’t leave his mother, so Die’er did not return. She selected her beloved jewelry and sent a box as an expression of her feelings for the sister-in-law.

Lady Du appointed two first-class maids, four second-class maids, and eight third-class maids to wait upon Yanran, placing her in Ba Hua Ju where Die’er lived before getting married. It was grandly arranged, even larger in scale than when Fei’er and Die’er were unmarried. Although Yanran eagerly refused, Lady Du would not allow it, insisting on giving the best to this cherished daughter-in-law. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

At night, the Mu family gathered together to welcome Mu Zhongqing’s couple and Yanran. Cai Wei’s family of five, Fei’er’s family of six, along with Mu Zhongqing couple, Chong Wen, Chong Wu, and Yanran siblings, bustling with a house full of people.

Everyone was chatting and laughing together, creating an extremely warm atmosphere.

Mu Zhongqing saw his family’s prosperous descendants, with children and grandchildren all around, feeling unprecedented emotions in his heart. He reminisced more than ten years ago, when he was a poor and disheartened scholar in the Mu Family Village who couldn’t even feed his wife’s and children’s stomachs. To earn a few taels of silver to feed his family, he abandoned his family and business to go to the South for business, resulting in not earning a single copper coin and almost dying of illness in a feather shop.

Who would have thought today, he holds a position as a second-rank official in the court, the reigning Emperor is his son-in-law, his children each live in happiness and bliss, and his wife is still gentle and beautiful, having such a life close to perfection, truly allowing him to die without regrets!
