Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 162: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 42

Yunxi was also a little angry. She had just made up for all the money she had spent in the early years, and yet he still had the nerve to lose his temper here.

If it wasn't for her brother's sake, she would definitely compete with her.

Thinking of her younger brother and Ping'er still lying in bed, she couldn't help but stamp her feet. She swallowed her anger and let the maid help her get into the carriage.

No matter how difficult it was to ask for the money, Yunxi had to endure her temper and ask for it one by one, otherwise she would never be able to make up all of it.

It took her a whole day to gather most of the information, and she rushed back to the Jiang Mansion under the cover of night.

Afraid that Jiang's father would meet her and ask about the progress, Yun Xi didn't even prepare any food, just told Jiang's father that she was sick, and stayed in her own yard to think of a solution.

She has now replaced all the ornaments of some value in her yard with cheap fakes, but it is still not enough.

She paced around the room anxiously, thinking about how to make up the rest.

Her mind involuntarily flashed through what Bai had said during the day. She thought of the pile of things that the Marquis' Mansion had sent to Jiang Xinghui. They were all good things. If she took out one or two of them to exchange for some silver, she would be able to make up the total.

Yunxi hesitated, not wanting to touch his daughter's things, but his thoughts kept drifting away uncontrollably.

Until the maid's voice came from outside the door.

"Madam, the third young lady wants to see you."

Yunxi paused, "Please come in."

After a while, Jiang Xinghui walked in with graceful steps.

"Mother, what happened? I haven't seen you having dinner at father's house in the past few days."

Jiang Xinghui asked with concern. It seemed that his mother had not eaten with them for several days since returning from Yun Mansion that day.

These past few days, she had been feeling a little uncomfortable watching Jiang Yueshu and the other three having so much fun together. Even the joy of having a successful engagement with the Prince was somewhat dampened by this.

It would be great if his mother was here, so Jiang Xinghui finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to ask his mother.

Yun Xi sighed and told his daughter about what he had been worried about in the past few days.

When she heard that the things sent by the Marquis' Mansion could alleviate her mother's urgent needs, she felt a little unhappy, but when she thought of how good her mother had always been to her, she spoke without hesitation.

"Mother, then you can use the things sent by the Marquis' Mansion to pay for it! After all, those things will just sit there anyway. If I can help you, I will be happy."

Yunxi was happy after hearing this. After all, all she did was to pave the way for her daughter, and most of the dowry she took out went to her.

Now that she could say this without hesitation, Yunxi felt very relieved.

With Jiang Xinghui's words, Yunxi's guilt was no longer so strong. After Jiang Xinghui repeatedly assured her that he would give her more makeup in the future, she felt at ease and chose some accessories that had no special meaning to exchange for money.

After several days of hard work, Yunxi finally filled in the gaps on the dowry list and took the initiative to hand over everything to Jiang's father.

Father Jiang took it with a calm expression and handed it directly to the housekeeper.

"You can count them, and then give them to the Second Miss to help her take care of them first."

Although Yunxi had guessed it in his heart, his face changed when he saw his distrust of him with his own eyes, and he pretended not to hear it.

The housekeeper was very quick. After counting and checking, he handed it to Jiang Yueshu and started to deal with the matters.

Jiang Yueshu has also learned the etiquette and manners quite well during this period. Father Jiang nodded secretly in his heart, feeling very pleased.

Maybe because Jiang Yueshu had been behaving well recently, Jiang's father had other ideas. He began to intentionally or unintentionally ask the housekeeper to take her to get in touch with some things in the shop every day.

Jiang Yueshu naturally did not reject it and studied honestly. Seeing this, Jiang's father asked her to learn etiquette and housekeeping skills day by day.

In order to let Jiang Yueshu better understand all the matters related to the affairs of the whole mansion, he directly asked his mother to let Jiang Yueshu follow him to learn. For the sake of her son, Mrs. Jiang naturally agreed.

However, as Jiang Yixiu's wedding date is approaching, Old Lady Jiang will wait until the new bride arrives before teaching them both.

As the wedding date approaches, the entire mansion becomes busy and each courtyard starts preparing in advance.

In addition to learning etiquette every day, Jiang Yueshu also follows the housekeeper to learn how to read account books and manage trivial matters.

At the same time, Jiang's father also prepared two personal maids and an old nanny for her. These were not only approved by Jiang's father, but also by her grandmother.

Since Jiang Yueshu has become much closer to Jiang's father and Jiang Yixiu, and because of his suspicion of Yunxi and fear that she has misled his daughter, Jiang's father now pays close attention to Jiang Yueshu in every aspect.

The two personal maids were Baoqin and Xia Qi, and the old nanny was surnamed An, who was in charge of all affairs in Jiang Yueshu's courtyard.

With Nanny An around, she naturally arranged for Qiuju and Dongmei to stay away from Jiang Yueshu.

Jiang Yixiu also saw how sad Jiang Yueshu was, but seeing that his father was considerate and his sister was well-behaved, he would give some calligraphy and paintings to Jiang Yueshu for her appreciation.

Therefore, during the period leading up to her wedding, Jiang Yueshu's life was extremely fulfilling.

In addition to the daily required etiquette and manners learning and accounting duties, Jiang Yueshu spends the rest of her time exercising and making sure to practice writing every day.

Due to the arrangement made by Jiang's father, although Yunxi and his mother and Jiang Yueshu lived in the same house, the number of times they met was obviously much less. Except for having meals together at mealtime every day, she basically found a free time for them at other times.

At the beginning, Yunxi had made a special effort to go and see Jiang Yueshu, but most of the time she couldn't find her. She was also a little worried about adding makeup, so she stopped looking for her.

Until the day of Jiang Yixiu's wedding, everyone stopped what they were doing, gathered together, and waited for the arrival of the new bride.

Early the next morning, the new daughter-in-law Liu Jingyan changed into bright red clothes and served tea to her parents-in-law.

After drinking a cup of tea, the two men took out the gold and silver jewelry they had prepared in advance and handed them to the bride. Yun Xi smiled on his face, but he was upset in his heart.

She had almost emptied her family's savings in the past few days. As soon as the new bride came home, she naturally couldn't take out too cheap things in front of everyone and make a fool of herself, so she could only pick out some jewelry from Jiang Xinghui.

Old Mrs. Jiang took out a pair of jade bracelets of excellent quality with a smile and stuffed them into Liu Jingyan's hands.

"Yan'er, from today on, you are a member of our Jiang Mansion. This jade bracelet was prepared in advance for you two. From now on, this will be your own home. You and Xiu'er should also hurry up. I am looking forward to holding my great-grandson."

Liu Jingyan blushed, lowered her head and smiled, allowing Old Lady Jiang to put the jade bracelet on her wrist.

A few days before the wedding, the Jiang family was still filled with joy and the atmosphere was peaceful.

A few days after the two returned home, Old Lady Jiang called Liu Jingyan and Jiang Yueshu over and began to teach them how to manage the household.

Yunxi looked at him with envy. Her daughter was also the daughter of the Prime Minister, so why couldn’t she go and study too?

She went to see Jiang's father privately, and Jiang's father did not refuse. He just said, "If you want Hui'er to study, go find your mother yourself."

Old Mrs. Jiang is not a good-tempered person. If Jiang Yueshu wants to learn how to be a housekeeper from her, Jiang's father has to ask for it himself.

So, although he did not refuse directly, he guessed the result.

In fact, considering Yunxi's previous situation in the mansion, she had also managed the household supplies and Jiang Mu's dowry shop, so there was an opportunity for the two girls to learn from her.

At that time, Jiang's father had long suggested that they should start learning earlier. For some reason, Yunxi refused this matter, saying that they were still young. Besides, Jiang Yueshu listened to Yun's words very much at that time, and did not want to learn the complicated housekeeping work under her persuasion, so the matter was left unresolved.

Father Jiang didn't bother to think about Yunxi's thoughts. He had told her before but she didn't listen. Now he wanted his daughter to learn from him, so she had to figure it out herself.

Yunxi also guessed that she would be rejected, but for the sake of her daughter, she still shamelessly went to see Mrs. Jiang.

As expected, Mrs. Jiang refused directly.

She waved her hand calmly, "I'm already quite old, and I have to teach Yan'er and Shu'er, so I don't have that much energy."
