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

Chapter 230 Grandmother Jia 32

Mrs. Ge's face was already very bad. "My son is still young. If he can become the top scholar in the imperial examination, we will be a good match."

"Let's talk about it later. Besides, you should become famous as early as possible. Your son is almost fourteen years old now, and I haven't heard that he is going to end up like this." Yun Xi shook her head. She really had no idea, even though she had made it so clear.

"She is truly a concubine's daughter from the God's capital. Not an ordinary person can match her."

Seeing that Yun Xi was holding on tightly and refusing to let go, Ge couldn't help but say something sourly.

"How else can we do that? A family with a strong family background matches a family with a strong family background. Madam Ge, don't you understand this principle? My family has strict rules, so how can I marry someone with a loose family background like yours? Even if I want to marry someone of lower status, I have to consider their academic performance. You just say that your son will definitely get the top score in the imperial examination. Isn't that just empty talk?"

Yun Xi rolled her eyes. Really, he had to make her speak frankly.

Mrs. Ge's face turned red. She wanted to get angry but didn't dare to. She ate the food in depression.

None of the ladies at the same table tried to persuade him. It’s better to stay away from such a confused person.

After the baby's full-month banquet, Jia Min stayed in confinement for another ten days. She came out of the confinement period full of energy and took a good bath.

As for Cui, seeing that her daughter-in-law was able to manage the household, she took Yunxi out to play. In March, Yangzhou had the best scenery. The two old ladies had money and free time, so they went out for a walk every day, eating at old-fashioned restaurants and playing with new things. By April 18th, they had traveled all over Yangzhou. Yunxi could walk out of many complicated streets smoothly without relying on the system's instructions.

"My dear in-laws, it's time for me to go back, otherwise I will miss my grandson's first birthday party. When the child is one year old, I will let She'er bring Hu'er and Zhu'er to see Qing'er." Yun Xi patted Cui's hand. It was time to go home after playing enough. He couldn't stay at his daughter's house all the time, otherwise it would be meaningless.

Cui was reluctant to let go, "Hey! I finally have someone my age to play with me, and now you're going back again."

"Don't worry. In two years, Ru Hai will be transferred back to the capital. We can make an appointment to travel around the capital. After we've traveled all over the capital, we can find an excuse to go sightseeing. You've worked hard all your life. Why are you still staying at home at the last minute? It's so boring."

Yunxi’s pancakes were big and round, and Cui was very satisfied after eating them.

"Then let's all live well."

"Of course!"

Yun Xi brought twenty boxes to Yangzhou and brought another twenty boxes back to Shendu. She knew exactly what was inside. It was the money that Jia Min had collected for her, a total of four million taels of silver. She was really a smart child.

The bird boat went upstream and arrived at Shendu six days later. Zhang personally brought people to pick it up.

"Why are you here? Where are your sister-in-law?"

Yun Xi admitted that she was looking for trouble. If it weren't for Jia Baoyu's full moon banquet, she wouldn't be in such a hurry to come back. When she got tired of playing in Yangzhou, she would go directly to nearby Hangzhou to play, or even go to Hainan in the winter...

It's delicious.

"My second sister-in-law is checking around the house to see if there's anything else that hasn't been arranged for Jue'er's full-moon banquet." Zhang explained softly, then arranged for someone to move the luggage.

"I really love to seek a sense of existence."

Yun Xi cursed and got on the carriage. Zhang followed with a smile on her face.

When I got home, the house was decorated with lights and there was a festive atmosphere as we prepared for the first birthday party two days later.

I don’t know if Wang will still smile when Big Face Treasure gets Yanzhi during the one-year-old celebration. Let’s just watch her being proud for a while.

When he returned to Rongqing Hall, he saw that red cloth was also hung in his room.

"How many people did she invite? Is she going to entertain guests in my yard? Take off the red silk cloth. I like quietness."

Yun Xi bluntly stated that she didn't value this grandson very much.

Zhang quickly winked, "Don't worry, mother. It's only natural that my second sister-in-law favors her older son. Oh, and Aunt Qian gave birth to a little girl named Nianchun two months ago. Aunt Zhao gave birth to Tanchun, who is half a month younger than Lin's niece and was also born in February. It's just that they haven't returned to their own courtyards yet..."

Thinking of the Tanchun in the original novel with her slender shoulders and waist, tall figure, oval face, handsome eyes and thin eyebrows, lively gaze, and brilliant literary talent, if she had not been born in a feudal society, she would probably have achieved great things.

"Don't you want to raise the child with Wang?"

"Yes..." Zhang paused and replied.

Yun Xi said, "It's true that she can't be raised with Wang. Just like Shaochun and Yingchun, she should be raised with their aunt until she is three years old, then come to live with me, and live in the backyard after she is seven years old."

"Okay, I'll have someone tell them to move out immediately."

Yun Xi nodded. From the moment she entered the room to the moment she got on the couch, her clothes had already been changed by the maids.

"Has anything big happened recently?"

Zhang helped change her clothes while reporting, "Several families sent invitations to mother, but I turned them down. Zhu'er and Zhang'er passed the examination for scholars and are preparing for this year's provincial examination. Lian'er passed the examination for a student, so I asked him to work with his future father-in-law. Rong'er wasn't ready enough to pass the examination, so he plans to try again next time. And Zhen'er's wife is pregnant again, and will give birth at the end of this year..."

After hearing this, Yun Xi felt that everything was on track. "You have arranged it very well. Yu'er, your uncle's daughter, also passed the imperial examination this year and ranked first. She is a very beautiful child. You will know when you attend Qing'er's full moon banquet next year. Qing'er is also a beautiful child. In my opinion, she is prettier than any other girl in our family."

After hesitating for a moment, he added, "The Xue family has probably taken refuge with His Majesty, so we can interact with each other in the future."

Zhang's eyes widened. "What about the Wang family?"

"Forget about the Wang family. Except for that Feng Ge'er, none of their next generation is capable. Xue Pan from the Xue family is not talented, but his sister is talented. But there is no need to worry. The mistress of the Xue family and several concubines are pregnant and will probably give birth soon. If the next generation is trained well, they should be able to succeed."

Zhang understood, "I understand."

Families without hope, such as the Wang family, do not need to be taken too seriously.

"Isn't mother going to raise Jue'er herself?"

Yun Xi shook her head. "Looking at Wang's condition, how can I let go? I guess she still blames me for not sending Yuanchun or Fengchun to the palace. She also blames me for Zhu'er's marriage."

Zhang sighed, "Second brother's wife is really too extreme. She believes that the Empress on the first day of the month and the official on the fifteenth day of the month, and insists that Yuanchun is destined to be the Empress."

"That's a fool. The empress in the harem is closely related to the official rank of the previous dynasty. Yuanchun's father is not ambitious, so what will happen if Yuanchun enters the palace? Beauty? Are there beautiful girls in the harem? The eldest princess's youngest son is already a young general. It's a good place for someone with good looks and ability..."

After a while of cursing and rambling, Jia She came with his men to pay their respects, and the scene became lively again.

"Give the children some of the gifts I brought back. They're all fashionable things I bought in Jiangnan. They're said to be from overseas."

Lanhua smiled and took out a big box, which contained various crystal balls, all brand new, catching everyone's attention.
