Quick Wear: I was a Favored Concubine in the Qing Dynasty

Wen Xian stayed with Yu Suisui for a meal, and when he left, he took one of Yu Suisui's cooks with him.

Yu Suisui sadly lost a great chef!

If she had known this earlier, she would not have invited Wen Xian to dinner. Will she be able to eat the food he cooks in the future?

As soon as Yu Suisui heard the news about Li Gege, he told Defei when he went to the palace on the first day of the next lunar month. Defei gave Yu Suisui some things as a reward and asked him to bring them back and give some to Li Gege as well.

The days passed leisurely, and the next year, Li Gege gave birth to a daughter, her second child.

The two beautiful ladies, Geng and Niuhulu, that Concubine De mentioned also arrived as promised. In the 43rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, they entered the palace.

But the looks of these two did not meet the aesthetic taste of the Fourth Master. He just liked the kind of women who looked unhealthy, had pale faces, and were as thin as paper. Now the Fourth Master's adviser brought back two such women from Jiangnan.

Still starting from being a concubine, the Fourth Master refused to agree to promote the first two concubines to be princesses. He only said that they would be given an extra two taels of silver in monthly salary.

Yu Suisui: I have never seen such a stingy Fourth Master.

Yu Suisui had seen the two newcomers and found them to be pretty, but their ages were only thirteen and fourteen respectively. She didn’t know how the Fourth Master could have the heart to do that to them.

These are all junior high school students!

Niuhulu was also thirteen years old, but the Fourth Master didn't like her, so he didn't go to bed with her. He also told Yu Suisui that she was too young and he should wait until she grew taller.

This is really...

Yu Suisui couldn't say a bad word to the Fourth Master. She really wanted to give him two knives and scrape off all that stuff.

Who exactly is the protagonist in this novel world? When she looked at the Fourth Master, she felt really disconnected.

More than a year later, in the 45th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Song, who had not been heard from for many years, suddenly announced the good news. She was surprised and happy.

She was happy that she was pregnant, but also worried about her health. Yu Suisui specially arranged a palace doctor for Song so that the two could take turns and be on call at any time.

Honghui has already moved to the front yard and is now studying with the teacher. However, Yu Suisui absolutely does not allow Honghui to get up at three o'clock in the morning to study.

She abruptly changed the time to seven in the morning, but she still felt that this time was a little early.

The Fourth Master has made a lot of money in the past few years, and he has teamed up with others to start an overseas business. Seeing that the money in the palace has increased, Yu Sui has started to spend money lavishly again.

First, he gave some money to the school founded by Wen Xian, which was a school specializing in teaching girls reading skills. Originally, Wen Xian was responsible for the cost himself, but when Yu Susui heard about it, he also donated some money. But later, Wen Xian had to teach and manage the school and was too busy to handle it.

Yu Suisui had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and work for the school again. Most of the children who were thrown away now were girls. The school provided food and accommodation, and also accepted a certain number of children from poor families to study. They did not charge tuition, but also provided a certain amount of pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as a lunch.

However, in this case, not all the money could be taken from the public treasury. Yu Suisui discussed it with Wen Xian, and each of them contributed some more money to open a bookstore and an embroidery shop.

In this way, if the girls in the school learned embroidery, the things they embroidered could be directly exchanged for money. However, Yu Suisui imposed a rule that when they turned 18, they had to move out of the school regardless of whether they were married or not.

Half of Wen Xian's money had been drained out in this school. Yu Suisui remembered the previous fundraising and gave Wen Xian a suggestion, asking her to go to Kangxi, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine De, and then hold a fundraising event among the royal family.

Sure enough, this time, he raised 110,000 silver coins. Yu Suisui used the money to buy two farms not far from Yongzheng's Old Summer Palace, and opened a shop specializing in selling snacks.

Yu Suisui also thought about opening a shop selling rouge and powder, but later thought better of it. The raw materials and the production, as well as the ones used by the ladies in the palace, are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Not to mention the dignitaries, they all order custom-made items, and people like them have limited money, so it is obvious that they cannot do this business.

Money makes money. Yu Sui has been very busy in recent years, busy making money and looking for teachers for the school. These teachers are not easy to find, and many talented ones are teachers of pedagogy in other people's families. She wants to poach them, but she doesn't have that much money!

There are more than 300 abandoned babies in the school now, all of them are girls. The remaining more than 100 girls are from nearby farmers' homes, all of whom are families that can barely make ends meet.

Wen Xian was responsible for teaching them how to read and write, as well as mathematics, embroidery, and cooking. In this era, there were really few jobs that required women, and many girls worked in brothels, taverns, and opera troupes.

Yu Suisui and Wen Xian both hoped that they would have a skill to support themselves.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 49th year of Kangxi's reign, the year of the epidemic that the Fourth Master could not avoid. It was an important node for many time-traveling women to gain favor.

Yu Suisui arranged for Niu Hu's history to go along, but it originally belonged to someone else, so they should just follow the original procedure.

As for what she had done, fortunately Nianhulu didn't know about it. If she had known that she had changed the gender of her emperor son, she would probably have been exposed on the spot.

According to the original schedule, the Fourth Master arrived as scheduled and fell ill with the epidemic. Niuhulu took good care of him and gained the Fourth Master's slight favor. After returning to the capital, he gave Niuhulu some silver as a reward and might visit Niuhulu's courtyard once a month.

Niuhulu also became pregnant on time, and gave birth to the fourth and fifth princesses right after Geng.

The Fourth Master was a little depressed. He now had only two sons. The eldest son was smart, and the second son was kind, but his health was not very good.

But the Fourth Master didn't know that if Yu Suisui hadn't scraped a little bit of the skin of the health-preserving pill for his second son to eat, the child would have gone to see the King of Hell, and might even have been reincarnated.

This is very good. Yu Sui does not have to worry about the inheritance issue. In the eyes of the Fourth Master, she has always been a good person: soft-hearted, gullible and generous.

This matter really has nothing to do with Fu Jin. They really can't give birth. They are all women, so how come Fu Jin can give birth to a son? These women are provided with good food and drink, but they all gave birth to daughters. He already has five daughters now!

A few days later, Concubine Li came to Yu Sui's Wanfu Pavilion. It took her more than ten years to be promoted from a princess to a concubine. The title of concubine was approved only after she had talked to the Fourth Master, who had become a prince, twice.

The Fourth Master is really frugal with women now. He can still tell the difference between the expenses of the concubine and the princess, and which one is more and which one is less.

He has made a lot of money over the years, but everything costs money, so he has to spend frugally.
