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

After Lu Er was brought into the prince's residence by Zhang Deshun, gifts from the empress and some concubines in the harem followed closely behind. Together with the emperor's rewards, more than half of the warehouse was immediately occupied. The property of the fake eighth prince was delivered, and the entire warehouse was full. Those that could not be put in were first placed in the bedroom.

Seeing so much gold, silver and treasures, Lu Er's mentality suddenly became peaceful. The anger? The hatred? It seemed that they were all gone. It was really magical. Money really is a good medicine.

Lu Da returned to the Yuan Renbo mansion and became a true young master. Yuan Renbo's attitude was very contradictory. He just reminded him, "You will go to the battlefield in the future, so study hard and learn more life-saving skills. You can use the resources of the family as you like. When you are fifteen, I will ask the clan leader and elders to enter you into the family tree."

Lu Da nodded silently. It seemed that his father didn't like him very much?

After Wu Zheng returned, he first sorted out the mess in the mansion. His wife and daughters-in-law were making a fuss because their grandson was taken away. After pacifying them, he took Lu San with him to train him quickly. This was the only legitimate son of the legitimate son. He had spent ten years training the grandson with great difficulty, but it turned out to be a fake. Now he had to start all over again. It was really infuriating.

Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister were lovely girls, still young, so it wasn't difficult for them to adapt. However, Fourth Sister's twin brother was also an imposter. How did they know? Because Guan Qinghou and his wife both had single eyelids, while the twin brother had double eyelids. However, he wasn't replaced by a spy, but by a vicious servant. After searching for several days, they found his biological brother in a beggar's den. They had truly had a tragic fate. The eldest brother didn't laugh at the second brother, but fortunately, the outcome was good.

As for Xiaowu, she was relatively happy. Prince Bao doted on her very much and strictly ordered her family members not to advance in front of the child and to take good care of the child. He gave her a yard, money, servants, and wrote a letter to the emperor requesting that she be made a princess, etc. She was surrounded by love.

The next day, the house was eerily quiet. Fortunately, Yun Xi was used to living alone. After getting up and washing up, she cooked a pot of eight-treasure porridge and made a steamed fish to eat with steamed buns. Cooking in winter was inconvenient, so she made enough for the whole day in the morning and heated it up when she was hungry.

The snow stopped falling. Yun Xi just picked up the broom when two boys from next door came to help.

"How's your handwriting going?"

Zhao Deping said modestly, "There has been some progress."

Zhao De'an agreed, "Practice five large characters every day and you will make rapid progress."

"That's good. Reviewing the past will help you learn new things."

Yun Xi encouraged them. At this time, the night fragrance collector came and brought the dung bucket over. After collecting it, Ye Xianglang took the money for the first month, five cents per household per month. This was the rule in the capital. If you didn't pay, you had to deal with it yourself. Yun Xi was too lazy to deal with the dung bucket. Zhao Deping rushed to clean it up. The dirty water was poured into the vegetable garden in the yard. There would be a little smell, but it could nourish the soil.

After clearing the snow, Yun Xi returned to the house and gave red envelopes to the two children, one penny each. They were supposed to wish each other a happy new year, but unexpectedly, something like that happened. Even though she could save on the gifts, she couldn't save on the red envelopes.

"I wish you all the best, peace and happiness in the new year."

Zhao Deping pulled his brother to his knees and kowtowed, "Thank you, Master. Happy New Year, Master."

After the children left, Yun Xi went back to the house to continue writing the unfinished horror story. "Delicious Mutton Soup" was based on a horror story she read when she was a child. She forgot the name of it, but the horrific plot left a deep impression on her and she remembered it for decades.

In a small town, there's a long-standing mutton soup restaurant. Its soup is so delicious and fresh that you'll never forget it. Many gourmets are regulars. After enjoying the soup, they love to go see the sheep the owner raises in the backyard. There are often one, two, or even many sheep, each with clean fur and moist eyes, which makes people happy. Meanwhile, many tourists have gone missing in the town...

When I was reading the book, I felt sad for those who drank mutton soup and turned into sheep, but I didn't know how to restrain myself, because at the end, the mutton soup shop stayed open for a long, long time...

"Will this affect the business of those mutton soup restaurants?" Yun Xi felt guilty for a moment, and added the words "This article is purely fictional" at the beginning as usual, and saved the draft.

Yun Xi had lunch and prepared to go out. It was freezing cold, so she wrapped herself in several layers of clothes: a layer of autumn clothes, a layer of sweater and trousers, a layer of down jacket, a layer of cotton coat, and a layer of fur, as thick as a bear.

Yun Xi first went to the government office and spent money to check the situation of the Yun family. The Yun family was not large, with a total of eighty-six people and twenty-one households. They lived in Chenglin Village outside the city. There were many people with different surnames in the village, and they were very accepting of outsiders.

There were twelve orphaned children in one clan, living in a city orphanage. As for the inheritance left by their deceased relatives? As expected, it was completely wiped out.

The orphanage was established and managed by the imperial court with the aim of adopting helpless orphans, elderly people and disabled people, providing free medical services and a certain living allowance.

In addition, schools will be set up near the orphanage to ensure that orphans can receive basic education and lay the foundation for their future life and career development.

Orphans are usually raised until they are eighteen years old, after which they have to go out into society to make a living.

The orphanage allows private adoption of children, and the government will visit the adopted children regularly to prevent them from being bullied or exploited. Generally, children under three years old do not need to be sent to the orphanage and can decide whether to adopt them on their own and go to the government to complete the formalities. Children who are older must be handed over to the government for registration and recognition.

The records show that there are twelve orphans in the Yun family. The oldest is ten years old, and the youngest is only ten months old. Some lost their parents at a young age, some were abandoned because they were daughters, and some were abandoned because they were disabled...

Yun Xi wanted to adopt the ten-month-old orphan, as such a child could be raised well.

After leaving the yamen, Yun Xi went home, took the silver, and went to the grain store on the street to buy a cart of four stone of grain. She also went to the clothing store to buy more than thirty old cotton-padded clothes, and then pushed the cart to the orphanage.

The orphanage is located in the city, near the government office. I asked for directions along the way and walked there. I saw a large house with five courtyards and the words "orphanage" written on it. There were people coming and going at the door. They must be the children coming back for lunch.

She found the steward and explained her purpose. The steward handed her over to a female nanny, "She is Nanny Chen, who is responsible for taking care of children under one year old. Nanny Chen, please take this Lady Yun to see the Yun family's child, Yun Duan. This woman wants to adopt him."

As the steward spoke, he recorded what Yun Xi donated: four stone of rice, thirty-five sets of cotton clothes and fifty taels of silver.

After saying this, he asked people to distribute cotton clothes to the children and store the grain in the warehouse. He was very busy.

"Madam Chen, how many children are you taking care of here?"

As soon as Nanny Chen opened her mouth, Yun Xi realized that she was an honest and gentle person.

"I take care of twenty-three little kids in the workhouse."

"Are you tired?"
