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

The third branch also presented a welcoming gift, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Yun Xi then introduced them, "These four are your half-sisters. From left to right, they are your fifth sister Qi Mingxin, your sixth sister Qi Mingwei, your seventh sister Qi Mingle, and your eighth sister Qi Mingying. In addition to your ninth sister Qi Mingli and your tenth brother Qi Minghui, who were not present, there are also some children who died in infancy and are not included in the ranking."

Qi Yue greeted everyone one by one. Although she didn't receive any gift, the atmosphere was very good and the girls quickly started chatting with each other.

Yun Xi smiled as she watched, "Dong Zhu, take your men to clean up the Xingyue Courtyard next door. If you need any furniture or ornaments, go to the warehouse and get the best ones. Also, have someone from Caiyi Pavilion come tomorrow to make four new sets of clothes for the Fourth Young Lady."

Dongzhu agreed and left to do his work.

Afterwards, Yun Xi asked Xiao Dong to quickly send the bamboo fungus to the main kitchen. "Ask the chef to make bamboo fungus soup, bamboo fungus stir-fried with green peppers, and bamboo fungus scrambled eggs. Send one portion to each master, and you can eat one portion each."

Xiaodong nodded, then asked, "Did you finish the whole meal?"

Yun Xi was craving the bamboo fungus, "Eat it all, it won't keep for long."

Dong Zhu said no more: "Okay, I'll notify the kitchen right away."

The blind date was arranged, and the fourth young lady came back to him. Yun Xi had almost finished what she wanted.

In the evening, Yun Xi had a reunion dinner with the children. Looking at Qi Zhang, Qi Yi, Qi Mingli and Qi Minghui playing around, everyone felt that happiness could not be more wonderful than this.

After dinner, they chatted for a long time. Qi Yue became closer and closer to everyone. The children left one after another. Yun Xi kept Qi Yue to talk privately, looking at her lovingly, "Yuer, there are not many rules at home. You must be more comfortable. Our family is not well-off. Before your grandmother passed away, the family did not have any monthly allowance. After mother took over, each person of the legitimate family received two taels of silver per month, and each person of the illegitimate family received one tael of silver per month.

You have not been with your mother since you were a child, so she compensated you with 500 taels of private money, which you can spend as you please. Your second sister's dowry consists of 20,000 taels of silver, a farm outside the city, a house in the city, and two shops. Your mother will also prepare all these for you, no more and no less.

From now on, you will come to mother's place every morning to exercise and then eat. After dinner, you and your sisters will learn how to manage the family affairs with me. In the afternoon, Master Qin will come to give you sisters lessons, mainly teaching literacy, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and etiquette. Learn as much as you can, don't feel pressured.

Qi Yue was nervous and couldn't help twirling her fingers. She promised, "Mother, I will study hard."

"You've suffered a lot. Mother understands what you've been through. Don't worry, I won't lose you again." Yun Xi took out five hundred taels from the wooden box and put it into another empty wooden box, closed it, and handed it to her. "From now on, Xiao Zuo and Xiao You will be promoted to first-class maids to serve you. There's also Nanny Zhong, who we recently brought in. She's very tactful and experienced. She'll be by your side to take care of you."

Qi Yue tilted her head and gently leaned on Yun Xi's shoulder, "I will listen to my mother. I just want my mother."

"Silly child, you not only have a mother, but also a happy life in the future."

The Qi family gradually got back on track, and Yun Xi, an old man, finally felt much more comfortable at home. Because of exercise, his body became healthier and his appetite improved a lot. For the first time ever, he ate half a bowl of rice more at each meal, and he felt very satisfied with the dishes prepared by the chef.

The only drawback is that I haven’t eaten meat for a long time. I don’t know if it will lead to nutritional imbalance.

System: "Host, do you want to eat meat secretly? Let me see if I can buy it."

Yun Xi was reading a storybook and refused. "Forget it. It would be bad if someone saw it. I'll just eat more eggs and drink more milk in the future. I drink a bowl of bird's nest every morning. My skin has improved a lot. It's really nourishing."

Qi Yue is a few months older than Xiao Wu, already sixteen years and three months old, and has reached the age to get married. Yun Xi doesn't want her to get married too early. After the mourning period, she will be exactly eighteen years old, so she can wait until she is nineteen to get married.

However, the marriage can be settled first. Qi Yue has been recuperating at home for two months. The wedding gifts for her four younger sisters have been passed, and they are just waiting for the wedding. Her skin has become white and smooth, and the thick calluses on her hands have gradually faded. The child used to be heroic, and now she looks pretty and generous. Yun Xi asked someone to invite matchmaker Li to discuss the child's marriage.

Matchmaker Li came very actively. The marriages of the four young ladies of the Qi family went surprisingly smoothly last time. She received a lot of rewards from both the men and women. Especially the seventh young lady was favored by the young master of the prefectural family, and the prefectural family also gave her the task of matchmaking. She made a lot of money.

The betrothal gifts given by the men at that time were also very good, which shows how easy it is to find a husband if you are good-looking. She had heard a little about the story of the fourth daughter of the Qi family, but she didn't know the details.

Arriving at the Qi family's house, when Qi Yue came out, Matchmaker Li exclaimed, walked forward to take a closer look, and when she saw Yun Xi, she praised: "Old Madam, your little daughter really looks like you and Master Qi, heroic and graceful."

Qi Yue lowered her head embarrassedly.

Yun Xi smiled contentedly as her daughter was praised, "Mrs. Li, I asked you to come here this time to propose marriage to my legitimate daughter."

Matchmaker Li pulled Qi Yue to look at her again and again, patting her chest and saying, "Leave it to me. Your second daughter is the one I mentioned. Look how well she is doing now."

"I feel relieved with your words. I want to find a husband for Xiaosi who has a family background like her second brother-in-law's." Yun Xi slowly stated her purpose.

The Li family, the husband's family of the original owner's second daughter Qi Yao, is not the Li family of Caiyi Pavilion, but the Li family of the second-class family in Nancheng. For a third-class merchant like the Qi family to be able to climb into the Li family, the original owner's husband has put in a lot of effort, and the dowry is much more than that of other families.

The State of Zhao did not have long-standing aristocratic families, but it also had families of nobles and officials that developed from its founding to the present. The Li family developed from the founding of the country to the present. At the founding of the country, they almost became barons, and then slowly developed the family. There are many members of the Li family who are officials. Qi Yao married the second son of the second master of the Li family. Now he is only 25 years old and has already become a juren. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a young genius. As for why he did not continue to take the jinshi examination, but asked someone to choose an official to be a county magistrate, Yun Xi did not know the inside story, but it must be said that the second daughter is now a county magistrate's wife.

If Xiaoqi's future husband is capable, she may become an official's wife in the future.

Yun Xi wanted to find a husband from an official family for her fourth daughter.

The two legitimate daughters of the Qi family look a bit alike. Qi Yao's face looks more like an old lady, very soft, and her facial features are like the handsome Master Qi. Together, they have a kind of androgynous beauty. However, the disadvantage is that she was not well trained, and no matter how much dowry she has, she cannot become the first wife.

The fourth young lady's face shape, eyebrows, eyes and nose are very similar to Master Qi's, and she is full of heroism. Thanks to Master Qi's handsome appearance, the fourth young lady's face is angular, with sword-like eyebrows and a slightly straight nose. She has a cherry mouth and a round chin that are very similar to the old lady, which adds a bit of softness to her sharp face. It is stunning at first glance and comfortable when you look at it closely.

If she is well educated, it should be easy for her to find a husband and becoming a wife will not be a problem.

Matchmaker Li took out an exquisite little notebook and looked through it.
