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

Chapter 249 Grandmother Jia 51

It was the height of summer, and Yun Xi, wearing a royal blue gauze shirt with round patterns, still felt extremely hot.

"Is there enough ice at home this year? Is there a sufficient supply of ice in each yard?" Yun Xi looked at Tian Tian and Yuanchun.

Tian Tian was wearing a brand new bright red gauze shirt with a hundred butterflies pattern and was fanning herself constantly.

"Madam, each courtyard is supplied with a large block of ice every day. It is enough to use the ice basin all day long. However, you cannot put too much ice in each room, otherwise it will be harmful to your health."

Yuanchun, wearing a moon-white gauze shirt embroidered with orchids, nodded, "The second room is enough."

"That's good. The weather is so hot, we can't be short of ice." Yun Xi thought for a moment and said to Lanhua, "I remember there are a few pieces of soft smoke screen in the storeroom. Find some and paste them on the windows of each room. Then you don't have to close the windows when you rest at night."

"Yes."

Yuanchun was curious, "It's a nice name, but I'm already this old and have seen many sarongs, but I've never heard of this name."

Tian Tian nodded. "It sounds familiar to me, but I can't remember where I've heard it before."

Yun Xi saw the description of the soft smoke gauze that the system had searched and said, "How long have you lived? You've seen so many things you don't know where to put them, and yet you're just talking nonsense. Soft smoke gauze only comes in four colors: one that looks like a clear sky after rain, one that looks like autumn fragrance, one that looks like pine green, and one that looks like silver-red. If you make it into a curtain or cover a window, it looks like smoke from a distance, so it's called 'soft smoke gauze.' The silver-red one is also called 'cloud-shadow gauze.' Even the silk used in government offices today is not as soft, thick, and dense as this."

Tian Tian exclaimed, "I remember now. Before I got married, I attended a palace banquet and heard someone say that soft smoke silk was better than the cotton yarn used exclusively by the royal family. It's a pity that it's no longer common."

"Maybe the weaving bureau no longer makes them. You guys pick out the colors and share the ones you like. Leaving them in the warehouse is just gathering dust, so why not use them?" Yun Xi evaded the point and said, "They're also good for making clothes. They're light and breathable."

"Yes, thank you, madam."

After the child left, Yun Xi asked the servants to go out. She took out the account book and checked it, mainly looking at the accounts and some arrangements of Jinxiu Building. After looking at the accounts of shops and farms so many times, she could tell if there were any problems with just a glance. There was no need to worry too much. Not to mention, Yingyi did a good job and had some talent for business.

It's just that these songs...

Yun Xi picked up the brush and crossed out those meaningful songs with a few strokes.

Why make such profound songs? What if people accuse me of literary inquisition? It’s better to be more vulgar.

By the way, in such a hot day, Sushan must be a hot seller. Here’s a unique recipe: replace the brown sugar water in Sushan with milk, and the various nuts with fruits...

"Why do I feel a tightness in my chest? Is it going to rain?"

Yun Xi gave the reply to Xiang Yi to deliver, then stood up and looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly outside, with no sign of rain.

It's so weird.

"Lotus, ask the kitchen to make some crispy noodles. It's so hot."

After Yun Xi finished speaking, she went to the green gauze cabinet to check on the two little ones. They each had their own things to do. Yingchun was playing with building blocks, and the little maid next to Jia Baoyu was patiently reading the Spring and Autumn Annals.

"Spring King's first month, third month, and..."

Yun Xi listened quietly for a while and asked, "Have you read up to the Spring and Autumn Annals?"

"Yes, ancestor, I will finish reading it in ten days." The little maid replied after bowing.

"You did a good job. After you finish reading it, start reading from the Three Character Classic." Yun Xi expressed her satisfaction.

Jia Baoyu was playing with a rattle and turning a deaf ear to everything. Yun Xi was a little skeptical whether this would work, but she thought, why not give it a try? It should have some effect, right?

"Is it hot? Come to Grandma's place and eat some Sushan."

"Grandfather, the Sushan is here. It's your favorite blueberry cherry sauce with milk."

Little Yingchun and Jia Baoyu quickly put down their toys and ran over. Yun Xi gave them two bites from the small bowls.

"Eat slowly, or it'll be gone soon."

Yun Xi ate the Sushan slowly, feeling her heart carefully, and still felt very depressed.

"Lotus, are you feeling bored?"

Lotus shook her head, "Madam, I'm not stuffy, I'm just a little hot. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Yeah, I've been feeling depressed." Yun Xi asked the system, "Isn't I having a heart attack?"

System: "You're exaggerating. You're in good health. It's just a mother-daughter bond."

Yun Xi quickly asked, "Mother and daughter are connected? System, let me see what's going on with Jia Min."

System: "Connecting you, please wait."

Soon, Yun Xi saw what happened in the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou City. First, she saw the women and children stacked in the girl's space, and then she saw Xiang Er killing people in the yard.

"This, this, this, can't we beat Xiang Er? Can the system teleport Xiang Yi over?" Yun Xi was extremely anxious.

System: "Yes, but it's very expensive."

"It's expensive, so be it. You can deduct it yourself. I don't mind that little bit of money. Look at how many people died, ah!" Yun Xi was extremely anxious. "If I had known I would let Ying Yi and the others go, I shouldn't have believed in Jia She's arrogant self-confidence."

Xiang Yi was quickly teleported away. Yun Xi saw Xiang Yi immediately going all out upon entering the battlefield and was filled with envy. "System, when will I be able to inflict such a devastating blow? Look at that sword, it's ice blue, so cool."

System: "Um, well, check the mall to see if there are any techniques. I don't know either."

Yun Xi was bored as she browsed through the system mall. There was no index function, so it was quite time-consuming to browse through them one by one.

"Huh? Dali Pills?" Yun Xi saw that they were not expensive and quickly bought a bottle. "Only one bottle of Dali Pills is available, dear?"

I continued to scroll down, and after reading for half an hour, I finally found a set of exercises.

"Basic butterfly magic? It requires spiritual energy? System, is there spiritual energy in this plane?" Yun Xi was frustrated.

The system gave her a negative answer.

"Hey! Let's buy it first, just in case it comes in handy in the future." Yun Xi bought it and put it in the warehouse. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find any martial arts techniques that ordinary people could use, so she gave up completely. "This mall is really useless!"

system:"!!!"

Yun Xi watched the battle on Jia Min's side until it ended, then turned off the screen.

"Master, the second wife fainted due to the heat." After Lanhua delivered the soft smoke, she hurried to report the news.

"What did the court doctor say?" Yun Xi asked slowly.

Lanhua slowly calmed down. "The court doctor said he can only relieve the symptoms. Should we go and ask the imperial physician to come?"

Yun Xi frowned. To be honest, the Jia family hadn't hired an imperial physician in the past ten years. The main reason was that the men in the family were not very useful and didn't have the confidence to order the imperial physician around.

"Take my note and ask Zhu'er to invite an imperial physician. Remember to remind Zhu'er to give her a thick red envelope. The amount should range from two hundred to one thousand taels, depending on the time the imperial physician needs to see her." Yun Xi instructed her.

"Yes."

After hearing that Doctor Zhang from the palace had arrived, Yun Xi took people to greet him.

"It's so hot, Doctor Zhang, thank you for coming all this way. Hurry up and serve him some tea." Yun Xi greeted him. "Zhu'er's mother is suffering from the heat."

"Hello, old lady. You're welcome." Doctor Zhang seemed very polite.
