Chapter 111 The Love-minded Grandma in the Weird Neighborhood 27

After returning home, Yun Xi boiled some medicine and asked Jiu Jin to lie down first. "You should rest. It's very dangerous for a pregnant woman to have a fever. Are you really not feeling well?"

"No, I just feel a little cold."

Jiujin was lying on the kang, still very energetic.

"It's weird."

I boiled some Chinese medicine and gave it to Jiujin to see if she would feel better. If that doesn't work, I can only use the antipyretic medicine in the space.

After Yunduan finished school, Yunxi gave him fifty coins and said, "Sister Jiujin is sick. Go to Old Lady Liu and buy two servings of mutton noodles. We'll have one bowl each for the two of us and one for Jiujin. Let him cook for Qinglin and Xiaoni himself. You didn't even notice your wife had a fever. You're so careless."

Old Lady Liu came from Henan Province to escape famine. She was very good at making stewed noodles. She set up a stall at the entrance of the alley and made a lot of money every month.

"Okay." Yunduan went in and took a look at Jiujin. He found that she was in good spirits and breathed a sigh of relief. His mother had some very powerful medicine. One pill would reduce her fever. She should be fine.

Not long after, Qinglin came back. Yunxi scolded him with disgust and waited until Jiujin finished eating the noodles and his fever subsided before leaving.

Qinglin felt very guilty. He put his daughter next to his wife, went to light a fire and boil medicine, and then quickly cooked rice porridge for his daughter. He woke up in the middle of the night and was relieved to see that his wife's fever had completely subsided.

The next day, Yun Xi asked Jiujin to rest while she and her son went out to buy food.

After a few days of rest, Jiujin was full of energy and recharged. It was also the day for Taoyao to get married. Originally, they had planned to consider marriage after six years of mourning, but unexpectedly, the emperor issued an edict this spring, allowing them to get married as soon as possible.

Yuan Renbo was guarding the border, and when he retired, Li Hao came to power. The emperor probably wanted Li Hao to get married quickly and have offspring.

This was Yun Xi's first guess. The other was that the emperor did not want Tao Yao's three children to mourn for spies from other countries, so he issued an order to grant them a marriage.

No one knows what the emperor was thinking exactly, but the marriage of the two children was set for the sixth day of June. It is quite comfortable to get married in the summer, get pregnant one or two months after the marriage, and give birth in the summer of the following year. The confinement period is much easier than in winter.

As for whether Taoyao could survive in the mansion, there was no need to worry at all. In the past four years, Taoyao, in addition to learning painting, spent most of her time following a nanny to learn aristocratic etiquette and household finances. She also learned to read with him, so she was capable enough.

There were still three days before the wedding, and Yun Xi prepared two gifts. One was a fire avoidance map that she secretly bought at Canglan Bookstore. It was said that this book could be passed down from generation to generation as a dowry in ancient times. Yun Xi didn't have this idea, she just wanted to popularize modern sexual knowledge to Tao Yao before the wedding, so that the child would not be confused when she entered the bridal chamber.

Another gift was a ruby ​​jewelry she designed herself, including a hairpin, pearl flowers, earrings and rings, made of gold and rubies in the shape of pomegranate flowers. It cost her a full three hundred taels of silver, but fortunately she could afford it.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of June, Zhao Deping and Zhao De'an, who had taken leave to see his sister off to get married, found Yun Xi.

"Aunt Yun, we want to give the house to my sister as a dowry."

Yun Xi was surprised. "Ah? Didn't Lord Yuanren send thirty-two dowries? Add in the tables, chairs, boxes, and cabinets your parents prepared, and the things you prepared, it should be quite a lot."

Although it was only half a load of dowry, not enough for a full load, it was still very decent.

The two young men from Deping tried their best to prepare a lot of dowry.

Spittoon, red ruler, vase, copper plate and shoes, silver-wrapped belt, dragon and phoenix quilt, dressing table, sewing box, money box, mandarin duck pillow, dragon and phoenix towel, wedding basin, wedding comb, copper mirror, bucket, scissors, dressing supplies and clothes, etc.

These things may not seem precious to wealthy families, but they are Taoyao's confidence. Even if things get to the worst in the future, she still has a dowry and will not end up living on the streets. If she has a house, she will be even more confident.

"If you give your house away, what will you do when you get married? If a girl knew you didn't have a house, would she be willing to marry you?"

In Yun Xi's opinion, giving a house is not as good as giving a small amount of money. This way, it will benefit you, me, and everyone.

"Without my sister, we can't afford to buy a house. We plan to live in this house first, and when we have money, we will buy one somewhere else and give it to my sister." Zhao Deping smiled.

"Okay, it's up to you. You two can earn twenty taels of silver a month anyway, so buying a house will only take five or six years." Yun Xi had no objection and stood up to go find Tao Yao. At this time, Jiujin came running and said that the hostess of the Shen family next door had arrived.

"Someone from the Shen family? Is there something wrong?"

Yun Xi stood up to greet them. The two brothers Deping looked at each other and left through the small door.

Although they were neighbors, the two families did not interact frequently. The Shen family had a big business, and the male owner was often away from home. The female owner also interacted with people of the same class, so naturally they did not have much interaction.

"Mrs. Qiu, I wonder what brings you to my humble abode?"

The two parties sat in the courtyard of the second entrance. Jiujin brought them jasmine green tea. They sipped the tea for a while before they started talking.

"Madam Yun, I'm here for two things. One is to deliver a wedding gift to Miss Zhao next door. I didn't expect her family to be home, so I wanted to ask you to give it to her. The other thing is that our master bought a large mansion in the north center of East City, and he wants to sell this large two-story house. I wonder if Madam Yun is interested."

Qiu Xinai opened the brocade box, and inside was a pair of pink jade bracelets with nice water content. This gift was really a great gift.

Yun Xi was surprised again after the accident. Is the Shen family doing business so fast? The large mansion in the heart of East City must cost tens of thousands of taels.

"I wonder how much Madam Qiu offered. If it's suitable, I can consider it." Yun Xi also wanted to move to a bigger house. This three-courtyard house had a nice name, but it was too crowded to live in and it was difficult to grow flowers.

Qiu Xinai held up three fingers and said, "Three thousand two hundred taels. All the bamboo, flowers, and trees in the yard are yours. No middleman will make a profit from the difference."

Yun Xi nodded. The price was about right. The house was twice as big as her yard. The key point was that the yard was bigger, but the first entrance was not even half the size of the second entrance.

"Sure, when can I go to the government office to transfer the ownership?"

Qiu Xinai was surprised for a moment, as if she didn't expect her to take out the money immediately.

"I can do it now. My husband is at home."

"it is good."

Isn't it just three thousand two hundred taels? In four years, she earned ten thousand taels of silver through her own efforts, which is more than enough to buy a house.

Just like that, after the transfer of ownership, the house next door was considered to be bought by Yun Xi, and it would be her home from now on. She would wait until the neighbor moved out and Tao Yao got married, and then she would move...

After returning home, Yun Xi saw the brocade box on the stone table and wanted to pick up the jade bracelet to take a look. At this time, the system's voice sounded, "Don't move! Is it poisonous?"

Without caring about the system returning, Yun Xi's face darkened, "Poisonous? The Shen family wants to harm Tao Yao!"

This was her first reaction.

"It wasn't her, it was the owner of the Mi Xin Yu Jewelry Store who did it."

"Mixinyu Jewelry Store? Do they have a grudge against the Zhao family?"
