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

Chapter 219 Grandmother Jia 21

"You are wrong. Jia Baoyu likes everything he thinks is beautiful."

Not long after, Jia Min sent a message saying that she was pregnant. It was strange to say, since giving birth to Lin Yu, Jia Min had never been pregnant again. Lin Ruhai did not understand the effect of the elixir he took, but Yun Xi knew it. Logically, if not many children, they should have at least two or three children. Unexpectedly, Jia Min was 29 years old and Lin Ruhai was 34 years old before they had their second child.

(Alas, the year in the previous chapter was wrong. It was five years too early. The original text had Lin Ruhai as a 35-year-old Daiyu. I have corrected it.)

System: "Perhaps after Daiyu is born, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai will have many more children?"

"However, in the original text, after Jia Min gave birth to Daiyu, she became depressed and died within a few years." Yun Xi said slowly.

"The original text says Daiyu has a illegitimate brother. Jia Min might feel that Lin Ruhai betrayed her, and since she didn't give birth to a legitimate son, that's why she's so unhappy. But that doesn't make sense. The child died at the age of three..." The system was helpless. "I can't figure it out."

Yun Xi felt that the Jia Min she had raised wouldn't be as depressed as described in the original story. After all, not only did she have a legitimate eldest son by her side, she also had a good relationship with Cui Shi, and most importantly, she was in good health. Even if Lin Ruhai made a mistake, she wouldn't become so depressed. Moreover, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai had a good relationship, so the illegitimate child might not even appear...

"I can't care less about all the talk. Jia Min has half a Da Huan Dan, so her life shouldn't be in danger." Yun Xi opened the map in her hand. Now, among the thirteen courtyards in her backyard, five of them are already taken.

There are Jiyuexuan, the courtyard where Jia Min got married, Huixinyuan, the courtyard where Yuanchun lived, Huilanshe, the courtyard where Fengchun lived, Fangrunzhai, the courtyard where Shaochun lived, and Fangfeiju, the courtyard where the one-year-old Tanchun lived.

As for Shaochun of Ningguo Mansion and Xichun in the future, they will naturally live in the backyard of Rongguo Mansion, provided that no dirty things happen in Rongguo Mansion.

The only one left was Tanchun, but she would be born soon. According to the date, Tanchun was born one month later than Daiyu, and Aunt Zhao had been in Jia Zheng's backyard for a long time, so there should be no accidents.

But now Jia Zheng has four concubines. The two old ones are Aunt Zhou and Aunt Sun. They were arranged for Jia Zheng by Wang Shi when she was pregnant with Fengchun. Aunt Zhou is sickly and weak, while Aunt Sun is more favored. Unfortunately, she has no children for many years. The two younger ones are Aunt Zhao and Aunt Qian. Aunt Zhao is outspoken and the most favored, but Aunt Qian is not someone who is easy to deal with either. Just wait and see, there will be some fun.

Sure enough, Aunt Qian took action during the full moon banquet.

When Big Face Bao had his third birthday, it was not a big celebration. They just invited the people who should be invited. Jia Zheng wanted to name his son. According to the original novel, Jia Baoyu's full name should be Jia Jue. Sure enough, Jia Zheng named him Jia Jue (jue, second tone). Without the approval of Lady Jia, few people called Wang's nickname Baoyu.

Now that Jia Baoyu is one month old and Wang has finished her confinement, she is determined to hold a grand full-month ceremony for her youngest son. Unexpectedly, at the most lively moment of the whole event, Aunt Qian shyly said that she was also pregnant and it was not even a month old yet.

Wasn't this conceived while Wang was in confinement? This was a slap in Wang's face, but Wang had no choice but to suffer in silence, because the role of a concubine is to serve the master when the mistress is unavailable. If she hadn't been pregnant, it would have been nothing, but she was pregnant...

In addition to Wang who was gritting her teeth, there were also three other concubines who were unwilling to accept their fate. Jia Zheng felt that it was a double blessing.

Yun Xi sent someone to whisper something in the ears of the three concubines, causing Jia Zheng to not go to Lady Wang's courtyard for several months after the full moon banquet.

The system expressed its incomprehension, "Host, what are you doing?"

"Bring more happy events to get rid of bad luck." Yun Xi fiddled with her nail polish and said nonchalantly, "Also, I'm worried that the Xue family will come to seek refuge in seven years, so I asked the useless Jia Zheng to have more children. It would be best if the backyard is full of people. Then the Xue family will have nowhere to live when they come."

System: "Ah? You think so far ahead, you don't like Xue Baochai?"

"I don't have any prejudice against the gods who came down to earth from the original novels. Lin Daiyu is worldly-wise but not worldly-wise, while Xue Baochai is worldly-wise but strives to enter the world. It's a personal choice. What I hate is Xue Pan's reputation as a murderer. The Jia family has no one in the court now, and they are still sheltering a murderer. They are just asking for trouble." Yun Xi explained slowly.

Originally, the Jia family withdrew from the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, but now it has become the Four Kings and Seven Dukes. However, their marriage relationship with the Shi family and the Wang family cannot be severed. If the Xue family insists on asking the Jia family for help, it will be difficult to refuse. But what if the Xue family is fine? Yes, what if the Xue family is fine?

System: "I see. Now that the Wang family can't cheat the Jia family, they will probably cheat the Xue family hard."

Yun Xi's eyes rolled, and she picked up the letter paper and began to write a letter to the head of the Xue family, Uncle Xue, the father of Xue Pan and Xue Baochai.

Xiang Yi didn't feel anything when he received the letter. It was just that a pill that cost 200,000 taels became 500,000 taels each. He could bear it. At least no one in this dimension could beat him.

It’s not that Yun Xi doesn’t want to sell half a pill to the Xue family. After all, even if it’s half a pill for 500,000 taels, Uncle Xue will still be eager to buy it. But Uncle Xue’s illness cannot be cured by a whole pill. It’s a chronic disease that is difficult to cure.

Yun Xi thought about the 200,000 taels she had just received and the 500,000 taels she was about to receive, so she went to find Jia She.

Jia She came soon, "Hello, mother."

"I'm An, please sit down." Yun Xi said carefully, "She'er, how is your relationship with His Majesty the Emperor?"

Jia She was slightly startled. "Your Majesty has been so kind to me. What do you mean by this, mother?"

Yun Xi said, "Look, our family has completely severed ties with the Four Princes and Seven Dukes, and we haven't had any contact with the military for years. People have left, and now there's nothing to fear. So, if you donate another 500,000 taels of silver to His Majesty, will His Majesty promote you to the rank of Marquis?"

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?

Jia She was shocked. "Mother, this is impossible! Not to mention 500,000 taels of silver, even 1 million taels is impossible. If you can buy a title with money, the titles would probably be all over the city by now."

It will definitely be everywhere.

Yun Xi was disappointed, "It really won't work."

Jia She gave an example, "Of course, if I dare to use one million taels to buy a title today, then I will use my status as a marquis to exploit the lower classes and get the one million taels back. What will be the result..."

"That's right." Yun Xi didn't mention it anymore. "I heard that flying butterfly style clothes are popular in Beijing recently."

Jia She nodded. "Hu'er mentioned it. She wanted to buy it for her fiancée, so she withdrew two hundred taels of silver from her bank account. What's different is that the butterflies on the dress aren't embroidered, but tiny ones made of gold and silver thread, sewn on. They match the flowers embroidered on the dress, making it very beautiful, and naturally expensive."

Now that she had money, Yun Xi was not stingy and generously bought colorful clothes and jewelry for the girls. More importantly, the shop was jointly opened by the Grand Princess and the Emperor, with a 30% to 70% profit split, so naturally the Jia family would spend more.
