【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 226 Grandmother Jia 28

On Yunxi's side, Cui expressed her speculation. She always felt that her illness and Yu'er's illness were not simple. "Although I am old, I was only in my fifties at that time. Families like ours usually have no shortage of bird's nests and Ganoderma lucidum. I used to think I could live to seventy, but I didn't expect to get sick suddenly. The doctor said the cause of the illness was my old age. Don't you think it's outrageous?

And Yu'er, his family wanted him to take the imperial examination, but he never forgot to exercise every day, and he wouldn't be at a disadvantage if he encountered one or two villains. But he suddenly fell ill and was at the point where no medicine could cure him. It's so strange."

Yun Xi agreed, "Perhaps those people were giving the Lin family a warning."

"This is what I'm worried about. Among the servants in the house, only Min'er's dowry has kung fu skills. There are twenty guards, but only five of them are from the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I feel so insecure." Cui sighed.

"Don't worry, I'm here. The people serving me and the children know some martial arts, and I've brought thirty guards with me. They're all descendants of the old Duke's old subordinates. It's no problem for me to fight three of them alone."

She also didn't tell me about the two killer weapons, Phase One and Phase Two, so as not to scare people.

There are also people around a few children. Each child is taken care of by a wet nurse before the age of three. After the age of three, the wet nurse is dismissed and the servants trained by Yun Xi are responsible for serving them. Each person is assigned four maids and two smart servants. Several brothers are accompanied by four male servants to take them out for walks. When they get married, each of them will be given two maids and two servants.

Although it is very expensive to train these people, they are really useful. Jia Hu, Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and Jia Zhang encountered many dangers when they were traveling outside, and these people helped them deal with them.

Jia She was envious of Yun Xi's harsh rejection, and all Jia Zheng's hints were ignored. A grown man couldn't even protect himself, and he still needed his mother's protection? Where was his face?

The child had a great time on the first day at the Lin Mansion. After washing up in the evening, Yun Xi did not immediately ask Xiang Yi to go to Jinling, but just had a good sleep until noon the next day.

"You're really old, sleeping so late at someone else's house."

System: "That's normal. It's what happens after a long journey."

"Right."

Lunch was simple: osmanthus mung bean noodles, chicken rolls, braised silver carp head, salted goose, duck wrapped in shark fin, Wensi tofu and shrimp roe dumpling noodles.

He ate a bite himself and fed a bite to little Yingchun. Both the old and the young were very satisfied with the meal.

"Xiao Yingchun, is Jiangnan good?"

Little Yingchun nodded heavily, "The wind in Jiangnan is nice! It's gentle!"

"You know a lot. The wind here is indeed weak." Yun Xi envied, "Even gods are not as comfortable as here. It's a pity that I can't live here for long."

"Mother wants to stay in Jiangnan permanently?"

Jia Min, who was in good health and liked to move around, had already pulled the curtain open and came in.

"Yeah, you know how bad the winter is in the capital." Yun Xi looked at her belly. Is there a little fairy living in it?

Jia Min warmly invited her, "If you like, mother, please come and stay. We have a big boat of our own. It only takes six days to get here from the capital. This way, your daughter can see you often."

"It's too much trouble and money to come here every year. It would be nice to come here once every few years. I remember we have a house in Yangzhou." Yun Xi thought about it and it seemed to be true. "Besides, the big ships continue to make money from transportation missions. They earn a lot every year. Your sister-in-law really knows how to live."

"There's not only a two-story house, but also two farms. There are even more in Jinling. I help my sister-in-law manage them, and my dowry house and farm in the capital are managed by my sister-in-law. At the end of each year, we send each other money and account books." Jia Min said embarrassedly, "My sister-in-law is a capable housekeeper, and her income increases every year."

"She is indeed capable, and the public property is increasing. I asked her to take some more rest, but she said she has three sons and can't rest, so she has to earn more for the children." Yun Xi was helpless.

"Ah? Now that I think about it, I only have two children, which makes it much easier than my sister-in-law!"

Jia Min suddenly felt fortunate. No matter the gender of the baby in her belly, Yu'er's family property would be cut in half.

"Your idea is not right. While you are still young, you and Ru Hai should have more children and divide the family property into several parts so that you can support each other. If it is only one family, it will be a piece of fat meat once the Lin family loses power." This is why Yun Xi is so calm and not in a hurry to make money. "This is for you."

Jia Min took the quaint ring curiously and asked, "Mother, what is this?"

"This is a mustard seed space. There is only one ear chamber inside. After binding, you can store things in it. Others can't see it. Mother gives it to you. I hope you can protect your life." Yun Xi let the servants leave before speaking in a low voice.

Jia Min's eyes were red, and she looked at the ring over and over again, "Mother, is this real?"

"Of course it's real. There's only one like it in the world. If it weren't for your unfortunate fate, your mother wouldn't have spent so much money to buy this for you. Give it a try." Yun Xi sighed, "Anything you put in it will rot, so be careful. Fortunately, humans can go in, but other living beings besides the owner will fall into a coma. If you encounter danger, you can bring your family in."

Originally, this child was just short-lived. After Yun Xi forced her to live, her life would probably be very difficult. She didn't find a place to buy amulets in the mall, so after much deliberation, she chose this thing and spent one-third of her "gold mountain". The store didn't ask for such a high price. The extra money was the handling fee charged by the mall. If this thing is used by herself, the system will not care, but if she gives it to others, she will have to pay a price.

Jia Min handed over a drop of blood as Yun Xi said. The ring absorbed it and then disappeared, leaving nothing on her finger.

"Mother? It's true! There's a little house!"

Jia Min happily brought Yun Xi in, then found her mother fainted, and hurriedly brought her out. Yun Xi woke up immediately, and Jia Min said awkwardly, "Mom, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Yun Xi smiled stiffly, "Don't use it unless it's absolutely necessary."

Jia Min played with it happily, as if she had gotten a new toy. It was only after a while that she remembered to ask the price. "Mom, this is very expensive, isn't it?"

Yun Xi nodded, "It's a price you can't afford."

Jia Min's eyes widened. "Can't the Lin family afford it?"

"Yes, more than six million taels of silver and ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry." Yun Xi stared at her, "The Lin family will be penniless after paying it."

Jia Min's little face wrinkled up. She had a bright and elegant appearance, and this expression seemed a bit childish.

"It's so expensive! Does the Jia family have any money left?" Jia Min regretted her decision to swear allegiance to her mother. She thought even if she spent all her private savings, it wouldn't be enough. "Mother, I have one million taels of silver in cash. I'll give it to you first, as well as gold, silver, and jewelry. I'll pay you back slowly when I make money."

Yun Xi: "Alright, just give me the one million taels of silver and the gold and silver jewelry. You don't have to pay back the rest, otherwise your husband and mother-in-law will notice."

Jia Min clenched her fists, thinking that she had to pay back at least two-thirds of the money. She was her mother's daughter, and there was nothing wrong with taking one-third of her mother's private money, but she couldn't take her eldest and second brothers' share as well.
