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

The jewelry in the jewelry store are all the most popular styles in South City. The store’s head office is in Beijing. If there are new styles there, they will be introduced here within a month, so the styles in the store are very beautiful.

The glittering and colorful necklaces are mostly in the shape of a net, with beads connected to each other to form a complex net pattern. The junctions are decorated with pearls, jade or colored glaze, and the middle part is embellished with tassels. The design is exquisite and delicate, and ingenious.

Yun Xi strolled slowly in the store, and was suddenly unable to walk when she saw the exquisitely made necklaces. The women of Zhao State loved to wear necklaces, so she picked one each for her two sons, two daughters, four families, herself, and Xiaojiu. She also picked out five jade peace locks and took them back to share with the dozen or so children.

The texture is as smooth as solidified fat, and the color is as soft as moonlight mutton-fat jade bracelets. Yun Xi likes them very much. They show her temperament when she wears them. She picked out five and asked the waiter to pack them.

"I'll wrap it up for you right away." The waiter was overjoyed and followed Yun Xi beside him, serving her carefully.

"There are so many gems on these pearl crowns?" Yun Xi looked at the red and blue pearl crowns and wanted to take them in her hands to observe them carefully. She had seen them in Song Dynasty costume dramas before. The bright blue color was said to be made of bird feathers. It was very rare and also very beautiful.

"Yes, these pearl crowns are imitations of the Saint's, but they're not as large, and the gems are slightly smaller," the clerk explained diligently. "Look, these large sapphires are from the Western Regions. They're high quality. The large ones were sent to the palace, while the smaller ones were bought by our boss and made into jewelry to sell."

Yun Xi was surprised. They were imitations of the ones worn by the empress in the palace. No wonder they were so exquisite. She was deeply moved. "I want all these pearl crowns. Wrap them up for me quickly."

There are six pearl crowns in total, each with a different style. You can keep two with gems for yourself, and the other four have only white jade and pearls on them, which can be divided among the four wives.

The styles of white jade hairpins didn't seem to vary much. Her favorites were in the shapes of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. She already had several, so she chose one of each. She also asked for four exquisitely decorated hairpins and more earrings to match them with her clothes. When she had almost finished choosing, Yun Xi turned around to look for her daughter-in-law, ready to check out and go home.

The daughter-in-law picked out four bracelets and a jade crown. The jade crown was obviously for Qi Yu. Yun Xi turned around and asked the waiter to bring three jade crowns.

"Let's go and pay the bill."

Shopping here is not like shopping in a two-dollar store, you are spending real money. Just for this trip, you spent a full five thousand two hundred taels of silver. The wife of Young Master Qi was heartbroken, but she couldn't say anything.

Yun Xi felt that it was okay because she had her own business and was making money.

After returning home, I sent out the second daughter's share, and asked the maids of the first and second rooms to deliver it. As for Yue'er's share, she would come when her grandson was one year old and give it to him then.

"System, after getting through this day, I always feel that the success in the past was so easy." Yun Xi lay on the couch and stretched out her hand for the maid to wrap her fingers and dye her nails, using Impatiens balsamina juice.

"I went to a meeting a few days ago and got a rough idea of ​​the following tasks. Would you like to choose one?" The system also felt that it had some free time, as the first task for the new host was too simple.

All the best ones are dead, and the host becomes the king.

"Show me."

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and became interested.

"The first one is about a hapless mother-in-law who was bullied by her daughter-in-law and ignored by her unfilial son. She was a widow. When she was young, her husband accidentally drowned. The family's house and land were taken away by relatives. Many people advised her to remarry, but she refused to listen for the sake of her son. As a widow and orphan, she struggled to survive..."

Yun Xi: "Then his son was unfilial and his daughter-in-law was immoral, so this person was bullied and tortured?"

System: "Yes."

"I don't know what to say. No matter what I say, it will seem like I'm just watching the fun. What is this mission supposed to do for me?" Yun Xi sighed.

System: "This mission requires the mother-in-law to take charge, either to seek revenge or to leave her son and daughter-in-law and return to serve her parents to put an end to her regrets."

Yun Xi: "It doesn't feel difficult."

The system checked and told her: "There are several top-grade items in this one, which are one level more difficult than the current one."

"Okay, got it. Next one." Yun Xi had an idea in mind.

The system continued, "The second one is about a grandmother from the past. She and her husband dedicated their lives to their children. Her husband died a tragic death. The grandmother was reborn and, upon seeing her own fate, wanted to resist but dared not. She became depressed and her life was difficult, leaving her exhausted. The difficulty level is the same as the previous one."

"Are you feeling so frustrated? Why do you all feel so frustrated? Is there anyone who doesn't feel frustrated?" Yun Xi felt depressed just by listening to it, and she had a feeling of frustration that she wanted to vent.

The system was smug. "Well, everyone feels frustrated. It's so great to be a system like us. Although we get exploited, we don't have emotions. We don't feel frustrated or angry."

Yun Xi: Are you sure you don't have any emotions? Why do I feel like you've transcended the realm of machines?

"Keep going."

"Oh, the third one is the most honorable mother-in-law in ancient times, the Queen Mother. It's just that the difficulty is three factors higher than now." The system hurriedly continued to look at the information.

Yun Xi lay on the bed, squinting her eyes, and said to the system in her mind: "Explain it in detail."

"Oh, well, this Empress Dowager was lucky enough to become the emperor, and her son was also incredibly lucky to become the emperor, but he's incompetent. The late emperor also knew his son's incompetence, so he married him off to a capable but virtuous wife who didn't come from a prominent family."

Yun Xi frowned, "Isn't this good?"

"That's good, but the queen has been penetrated..."

Yun Xi: "..."

So melodramatic.

"Well, after all, I am going to be a mother-in-law, so mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems are inevitable."

Yun Xi frowned. Of her two daughters-in-law now, the eldest was a little aloof, and the third was a little short-sighted. Fortunately, it was not a big problem. As long as they lived a good life, it would be fine. However, looking at the first and third daughters-in-law mentioned by the system, it seemed that they both had mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems.

However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship has been a problem since ancient times. Ultimately, it's a matter of interests. Marriage is also about interests, but too many people are blinded by love and lose sight of the essence. Is love important? Some, but not much. Love is controlled by hormones, and the appearance of hormones is just a signal from genes: it's time to reproduce.

Genes don't care about benefits, but our brains and bodies must care, because once the wrong choice is made, it is the brain and body that suffer. So there is no such thing as deep love and a lifelong couple in the genes. Without this setting, smart people would have stopped believing in it long ago. The truth of marriage is to live together and complete the task of continuing genes.

The system suddenly said, "Between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind."

Yun Xi said angrily, "Where did you hear such nonsense?"
