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

Chapter 11: The Cowardly Mother-in-law Who Raised Her Head in Ancient Times 10

The system looked at him with a bit of disgust at his foolishness, "You are indeed a soft-hearted person."

"It doesn't matter. As long as there are people around him to guide him in the right direction, maintaining the status quo won't be a problem. I'm one of them, and so is the housekeeper Qi. I'm going to find him a capable wife, and then I'll be there to whisper in his ear. It won't be a big problem. As for me, I'm going to train his child well." Yun Xi said leisurely, "This matter really can't be blamed on Qi Xian. When this child was born, the whole family loved and doted on him, but at that time the Qi family was thriving, and his father couldn't take care of him. His grandmother was having an affair with a man from the Sun family, and his original situation wasn't good either. His mother-in-law was giving him trouble, and his husband started to have second thoughts. So this child didn't get much training when he was young, and it's too late to train him when he grows up."

The system checked Qi Xian's childhood and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems so."

When the news of the eldest son of the Qi family divorcing his wife spread, Yun Xi didn't know how many people laughed at her, but she could see how many people wanted to curry favor with the Qi family. But as she said, she wanted to find a capable wife for Qi Xian, so she asked Li the matchmaker to inquire about this matter, and she would definitely get the reward money.

Matchmaker Li vaguely understood what she meant and began to inquire with girls who had attended women's colleges. However, girls who could attend women's colleges were generally more spoiled by their families and naturally would not be willing to marry a 24-year-old man.

Therefore, matchmaker Li found out and finally produced a list of women who had been divorced or divorced but had not yet remarried.

The status of women in Zhao State was not low, and the custom of lavish dowries was particularly popular. A woman's lifetime expenses in her husband's family were covered by her natal family, and she could even get a lot of dowry. Therefore, as long as the interests of the in-laws were not deeply involved, the woman would not hesitate to divorce if she felt wronged. Of course, if the interests were too deeply involved, the woman would have no choice but to endure the grievance.

It's rare to find someone like Sun Zhenni using a dowry to make up the dowry. For example, the original owner's family was not wealthy, but when she got married, they still dug a well for her in her husband's family, which was the well in her yard. Although the furniture and coffin were not made of precious wood, they were also collected since the original owner was a child, and they were very complete. The silver given was not much, but the original owner knew how to raise silkworms, so this was considered a good dowry.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi gave instructions, "Xiaodong, go to the warehouse and find some cloth in colors that are not suitable for the mourning period and send it to my mother's house tomorrow. I remember the kitchen still has some bacon and dried seafood, so bring them too. Also, go to Qingfangzhai and buy four boxes of snacks to send along. Oh, and I remember my mother said my nephew has a talent for studying. Take ten taels of silver from my pocket and send it along with it."

"Yes, I remember this."

At night, Yun Xi asked the system to play TV for her and went to bed when she felt sleepy. Although it was ancient times, she did not feel lonely.

The next day was another sunny day. When Dongzhu came back from Yunjia Village, Yun Xi felt that it was time to give some benefits to the people around her. She had been unable to leave the house these days and relied on them to help run errands.

If you want the horse to run, you must feed it grass.

Dongzhu went to Yunjia Village to help the old lady with her affairs first, and then went home to take a look. The family's life was much better because she had a stable income. Since the old lady took charge of the family, the wages of the four first-class maids increased from 500 wen to 800 wen.

On the way to buy snacks, I asked the driver to stop by a roast duck restaurant. I gritted my teeth and spent 80 cents to buy a roast duck and took it home. I had a good meal at home before returning.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked in, Xiaoxi came to inform me that the old lady was looking for me. Could it be that she wanted to ask about the female teacher? No way, she hadn't even started looking yet.

When they arrived at the old lady's room, Dong Zhu first talked about how much the Yun family missed the old lady, and then waited quietly to be scolded.

Yun Xi listened quietly and praised, "Dong Zhu, you've done a great job. The four of you and Xiao Zuo and Xiao You outside have done a lot for me. I'm very happy." She took out six silver hairpins from the dressing table and said, "These six silver hairpins are what I wore when I was young. I'm old now, and these styles are too fancy for you young girls. Choose one each and keep them as your dowry."

Dongzhu felt like he was dreaming. He'd just gotten a raise, and now he was getting benefits soon after? The old lady was truly generous. She was much better than the old hag who always delayed wages.

Dongzhu: (? ? ?w? ? ?)?

Yun Xi saw them taking the hairpins with a smile on their faces, said a lot of encouraging words, fed them one big pancake after another, and then let them go down to do what they had to do.

Yun Xi's life could not be more leisurely. She would get up in the morning, run a few laps in the yard, then wash up and eat. After dinner, she would take care of the housework with her four concubines, and then she would be completely free.

At this time, she would read a storybook while someone massaged her back and legs. It was so comfortable. After waking up from a nap, Yun Xi began to direct people to plant flowers in her yard. They could plant whatever beautiful flowers they wanted. They could also plant flowers in other yards. If they planted well, they would be rewarded.

After the mourning period is over, we will hold the children’s wedding first, and then hold a flower-viewing banquet, with the main focus being to receive endless gifts.

Yun Xi and the system laughed wickedly and continued reading the storybook.

The Zhao State's storybooks are really good. Some authors did not just write randomly, but recorded the stories they heard during their travels. They also wrote down some famous scenery they saw in extremely beautiful words, which makes people feel as if they are there. It's really good. You can go and have a look after completing the task.

However, her eldest son was somewhat overwhelmed. Some servants in the mansion who claimed to have made contributions to the Qi family were dissatisfied with his arrangements and gathered a lot of people to cause trouble.

The system read the news to her while reading the script.

"Alas, Qi Xian doesn't have a very deep understanding of the concept of master, which is why the slave bullies the master."

The system agreed, "That's right. Even a general like me knows what to do, yet he was forced into such a miserable state."

"Yeah yeah."

When the two were chatting enthusiastically, the housekeeper Qi came running over. He was an orphan in the Qi family. He was capable, so he was trained by the original owner's husband and later worked for the Qi family. It can be said that they shared the same fate.

Therefore, when he saw that Qi Xian was unable to cope with it, he hurried to ask for external help.

Yun Xi heard the announcement and asked him to come in. Butler Qi quickly explained the situation and said, "Old lady, you can't just stand by and watch."

"Why are you so anxious? If he can't even handle such a small matter, what will he do if he encounters a big problem in the future?" Yun Xi thought for a moment and asked a few troublemakers in detail, then asked Dong Zhu to bring Zhao Yapo over, "Remember to ask her to bring more strong men."

"Yes."

While they were waiting, Qi Xian outside was getting desperate. He never thought that these seemingly loyal servants would become so aggressive one day. Just when he was about to give up and was about to agree to the other party's outrageous request.

Butler Qi brought a large group of people to save him like a god descending from heaven.
