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

Chapter 242 Grandmother Jia 44

"What? Ru Hai will return to Beijing to take up his post next year?"

Jia She nodded, "Mother, the Zhen family will be able to... my brother-in-law will have completed his mission next year."

"It's not easy for your sister to come back with a little one and she's pregnant with twins. Since His Majesty hasn't arranged anything for you to do, you should take Zhang to pick them up next year." Yun Xi made the decision.

"it is good."

Jia She had no objection. He and his brother-in-law would support each other in officialdom in the future. As for his second brother, a fifth-rank official could not help.

At Lanhua's reminder, Yun Xi thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right, a few days ago, Tao and Lin'er came over and told me about Jia Lin's official selection. Do you think there will be any vacancies at that time? Can you choose a good position for him?"

"I guess it's not easy to choose. At most, I can be a county magistrate. I will pay attention to it." Jia She said he would remember it.

"I really don't understand your father. Before he left, he preferred to support the Wang family instead of the clan members. Giving resources to outsiders is not as good as giving them to the clan members. Forget it. It's been so many years. I won't nag him anymore. I'll talk to him in detail when I get to the underworld." Yun Xi changed the subject. "I talked to the ancestors during the ancestral worship this year. Thank you for your blessings."

Jia She repeatedly said yes, "Mother, you have been in good health recently. You are the mainstay of our family. Without your arrangements, your son might not have achieved such a great achievement."

"I'm fine. I'm relieved that you're all well. Before the New Year, you and your son should remember to ask for imperial decrees for Zhang and Tian. A noble husband brings honor to his wife, and they'll also have face at the New Year's banquet." Yun Xi instructed him, "There's nothing else to do."

Before she could finish, she was slapped in the face. Lanhua hurried in and reported: "Old Madam, the maid from the second house sent a message that Concubine Zhou has fainted."

Yun Xi didn't move. "What happened? Why did he faint for no reason? Let the court doctor take a look."

Lanhua said awkwardly, "Second Madam asked Concubine Zhou to tend to her when she was ill. I don't know how she punished her by making her kneel in the yard. She knelt for two quarters of an hour before she fainted."

Yun Xi's forehead veins were throbbing. Why did it feel like this daughter-in-law was so troublesome?

"Go and see what happened and report to me." Yun Xi did not go over. A concubine was not worth her trip. In the original novel, Concubine Zhou was the one who climbed into bed, but now this Concubine Zhou was arranged to be a concubine before she had the chance to climb into bed. Later, she competed for favor and got pregnant, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage, which led to her poor health. She was a person with a very low sense of existence. Why did Wang bother her?

Jia She was not happy to hear about what happened in his second brother's room, so he left in order to avoid him.

Yun Xi looked at Juhua. Juhua had been keeping an eye on the second house.

Juhua whispered, "Auntie Sun, Auntie Qian, and Auntie Zhao were vying for favor, but unexpectedly, Auntie Zhou snatched it away. Last month, the Second Master went to Auntie Zhou's room three times, and she hasn't had her period this month. She might be pregnant."

Yun Xi was overwhelmed. "How could she possibly give birth if she got pregnant? Wang is such a fool. Why would she be afraid of Concubine Zhou when she's not afraid of the other three?"

Juhua reminded awkwardly, "Madam, Concubine Zhou is the most scheming."

Yun Xi lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Forget it. They are my grandchildren after all. Go to the storehouse and get some good herbs for Aunt Zhou. And by the way, tell the palace doctor to treat Aunt Zhou well."

"Yes."

Yun Xi called Jia Zheng over again to stop the mess in the backyard.

Not long after, Yuanchun arrived and hurriedly said, "Grandmother, Concubine Zhou is pregnant. What should I do? If it were my sister, it would be fine. I don't like my brother."

"You don't like your younger brother, you don't like your half-brother, but Yuanchun, you can hate your half-brother, but you will marry into the eldest princess's family in the future, so you must never have this idea again. Learn more from your aunt. Bastards are not a big deal. Just give them some money and send them away when they grow up. If they are successful, they will be the pride of the family. If they are not, they will just be side branches in the future." Yun Xi reached out and hugged Yuanchun into her arms, "This is how the world is. We are used to it."

Yuanchun looked at her younger brother with tears in her eyes and said, "Grandma, I know what to do."

"Good boy, you have been wronged." Yun Xi sighed lightly.

The Spring Festival soon arrived. The scale of the ancestor worship on New Year's Eve was particularly grand compared to previous years. Yun Xi, who was participating in the worship, was deeply moved.

After all the sacrifices were over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. How could they not be happy because they had given their ancestors a satisfactory answer this year!

"Everyone should have a good time this year. Don't be shy. Eat and drink."

Everyone ate happily, the masters were in the main hall, the maids and servants were in the side hall, they ate meat and drank wine, and after finishing the meal they started playing mahjong to keep watch, it was a rare moment to relax.

Wang leaned on the bed, looking at the dark night outside. In the silent night, the fire in her heart burned more and more fiercely.

"Mom, we are back."

Wang turned her head in disbelief, "Zhu'er, Yuan'er, Feng'er, and Jue'er, why aren't you in the main courtyard?"

Jia Zheng followed closely behind, carrying a cup of wine and saying, "Mother asked us to come because she was worried you'd be lonely. You haven't eaten yet, so come and eat together. The food on the table was specially prepared for you by Yuan'er in the kitchen."

Wang nodded and said, "Help me up."

"You, don't think too much. Since my sister-in-law and the others said they don't care, then don't worry about it. Just take good care of yourself. When you recover, we will watch Zhu'er get married together, send Yuan'er and Feng'er to marriage, and cultivate Jue'er into a talented person." Jia Zheng, contrary to his usual behavior, kept watch with his family in a gentle manner.

Unfortunately, people don't look for trouble, trouble looks for people. In the early morning, Aunt Zhou, who suddenly had a stomachache, snatched Jia Zheng away. Wang's eyes were red and she sighed softly.

"Look at the flowers. Get ready. I'm going to go see Qinghe. I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her so much."

Yun Xi doesn't like playing cards and wants to go out for a walk.

Jia Zhen stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"No need. You stay up all night with your father. I'm getting bored sitting in the house, so I'll find an excuse to go out for a walk."

Lanhua put a cloak on Yunxi, and Juhua and Hehua came over to support their master.

"Huh? It's snowing, old lady, are you still going out?" Lotus was surprised.

"It's okay, let's go!"

The four of them walked out of the yard, and the hanging lanterns dispelled the night. Yun Xi slowly walked to the backyard and saw the blooming plum blossoms.

"I had forgotten that plum blossoms are in bloom right now." He reached out and broke off two branches. "Take these to Qinghe."

"Madam, I remember there is a sky-blue vase in the storeroom, which is perfect for plum blossoms."

"Well, go get it."

The four of them slowly walked out of the back door and went to the back door of Ningguo Mansion, and walked to the backyard of Ningguo Mansion before the wind blew.

"Qinghe? I'm here to see you."

"Ancestor? Why are you here? Come in quickly." Gu Qinghe stretched her neck and called softly.

"How do you feel? Is the child making trouble? Look what I brought you." Yun Xi warmed herself by the fire to dispel the cold before walking into the inner room.

"Wow! Plum blossoms, so many different kinds of plum blossoms!"

Gu Qinghe rarely shows her little girl look.

"You like it? I'll put it by your bed to accompany you through the confinement period."
