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

However, she did not gain nothing. At least the knowledge was really learned in her brain. In addition, she could cheat in the system, so it was more than enough for her to teach Li Chunsheng.

"Let's go! Find Chunsheng!"

Chen Xiucai seemed very puzzled by Yun Xi's visit again, "Madam Yun, didn't you go home?"

"Master Chen, something happened and I want to take Chunsheng home to teach him." Yun Xi smiled shyly.

Li Meizi said anxiously, "Master, we were attacked by that ruthless new servant and almost got into trouble, so we want to take Chunsheng home. Don't worry, my mother studied with grandpa and can teach Chunsheng."

Chen Xiucai was startled and asked with concern: "Were you attacked? Have you reported it to the police?"

Yun Xi shook her head. "No need. There are people behind that pawnbroker who won't tolerate the murderer."

"That's good. I'll call Chunsheng over and settle the tuition for you." Chen Xiucai nodded.

"You don't have to return the money. Consider it Chunsheng's reward for troubling you during this period of time. Just take it." Yun Xi was helpless.

Chen Xiucai smiled indifferently, "This? Well! Well, I do need money."

After telling the twins, Yun Xi took Li Chunsheng and others home.

After leaving the city, Li Chunsheng asked for details. Li Meizi spoke frankly and described the situation clearly.

Looking at the exceptionally silent Wang Niangzi and Bai Niangzi, Li Chunsheng felt a little wary.

Alas! It's because there are too few men in the family. If Dad were still alive, those servants would never dare to act rashly.

After returning home, life went on as usual. The story of the servant biting his master gradually spread among the Li family members, and many people became more wary of Lady Wang and Lady Bai.

This is the advantage of having a clan. If there was no clan, Yun Xi would never dare to buy people. Of course, encountering a black-hearted clan also has disadvantages, but let’s not talk about them for now.

After Chunsheng came back, Yunxi spent two hours every morning teaching him and Meizi to study the Four Books and Five Classics. Since the two had different progress, Yunxi taught them separately.

The housework was left to two maids, and the work in the fields was done by hired people, so there was quite a lot of free time.

It was the second day of May, six days after the Scholar Examination. Yun Xi received a letter from Yun Wenjun. After reading it roughly, she realized it was a letter asking for help. After reading it, she handed it to Li Chunsheng and said, "Boss, take a look at your uncle's letter."

Li Chunsheng frowned as he finished reading. "Mom, my uncle's situation seems extremely difficult. Do you want to help?"

"Your uncle is talented in studying." Yun Xi was entangled. "My feelings towards him are very complicated. If he had been willing to stop me at all costs when I married your father, perhaps I would not have become your stepmother."

"But, mother, is it really okay to marry somewhere else? The natural disaster has lasted for so long, and there are many dangers. At least the Li family still has a conscience."

What Li Chunsheng meant was that if Yun Xi had not married into the Li family, it would be hard to say whether she could survive elsewhere. There is some truth in this, as it is a matter of time and fate.

Li Meizi didn't quite agree with Li Chunsheng's generosity and forgiveness. "Mom, it's normal for you to have some grudges against your uncle. You don't have to forgive him. But until Xia Qing grows up, supporting him will help us grow stronger."

Yun Xi looked at Mei Zi with admiration. Yes, that was what she thought. There was no deep hatred between the original owner and Yun Wenjun. The original owner hated her father, stepmother and three step-sisters who bullied her the most. However, two of the five people died, and the remaining three were missing. She had no place to take revenge.

He and Yun Wenjun had no grudges, and of course no feelings for each other. They were just strangers, so why not take advantage of them? The Yun family was originally an outsider family, and now only five children were left dead, three of whom were missing, not to mention that their relationship with Yun Wenjun was very bad.

It can be said that there is no one behind Yun Wenjun, and Yun Xi standing up at this time is a great favor and bond.

"How much funding should we provide?" Li Chunsheng did not object.

Li Meizi has seen a lot and has a good sense of balance. "Beijing is expensive. If you don't have enough money, it probably won't be enough."

Yun Xi frowned, "Too much money can easily breed ambition. Send him 40 taels, which is enough for him to take the exam for a scholar. If he can get a good score, send him another 50 taels for him to take the exam for a juren."

Li Meizi, "Why not add some local specialties? My uncle has been away from home for many years, so he must be homesick."

"Yes, please send some of the dried goods, red dates and salted duck eggs from home." Yun Xi said.

Ten days later, Yun Wenjun saw the list of people who had made the cut, and received a package from his sister. Everything was going in a good direction.

The scholars of Jin State had some privileges, such as exemption from corvée labor, no need to worry about being drafted, and no need to kneel when meeting officials. In addition, scholars could travel and study, and did not need travel permits or signatures when traveling far away. The biggest advantage was that they were exempt from paying public grain. Yun Wenjun had a quota of 20 acres of land.

Now it is hung on a family outside the capital. This family has twenty acres of land and does not need to pay taxes. They only need to pay Yun Wenjun the standard of thirty kilograms of wheat per acre every year, which is much less than the land tax. It is a win-win situation.

The last point is about clothing. In Jin State, no matter how rich a merchant is, he cannot wear silk and satin, let alone ordinary people, who can dress as simply as possible. However, scholars can wear a blue-collared long gown, a square scarf on their heads, and long boots on their feet.

These are preferential treatments granted by the imperial court. Scholars also enjoy preferential treatments in society, such as being more respected, being asked to write letters, inscriptions, and paint, etc. These are all legitimate incomes.

Since he passed the examination to become a scholar, Yun Wenjun left the shabby courtyard he rented and went to Dongcheng to rent a low-class room. The rent was 40 cents a day, including three meals, laundry and cleaning. The conditions were very favorable.

In addition to the special examination in the first year of Jianxing, there will be a second provincial examination in Bafen this year. Yun Wenjun is ready to prepare for the exam with all his strength. Before that, he bought a gift for his sister and wrote back to her.

Yun Xi didn't know that Yun Wenjun had already passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. She was currently leading people to pull weeds and catch insects. This was the second round of weeding. She didn't hire anyone, so she just led the four of them to do the work slowly.

There are no fish, shrimps or crabs raised in the rice fields. This year, there are more watermelons, and a lot of fertilizers need to be processed. I am a little too busy.

In fact, she also wants to go to the beach to fish. She wants to build a fishing boat, so it would be nice to go fishing every day.

take it easy.

After life got back on track, it became much more stable. One day, Xiaowangzhuang sent someone to Lijia Village to propose marriage. The marriages of ten girls of marriageable age in the village were to be decided, and the betrothal gifts and dowries had to be negotiated. The wedding could be held after the autumn harvest.

Yun Xi went through the process as the representative of the family. It turned out that the sons-in-law chosen were all pretty good. The system said that they were all honest people. The bride price was agreed to be four strings of cash and a piece of red cloth. As for the dowry, each family had its own differences. The least was a set of furniture and two sets of clothes. The most was the daughter of Patriarch Li, who married the grandson of Patriarch Wang in Xiaowangzhuang. The dowry was said to be two strings of cash, a set of silver jewelry, a set of furniture, two quilts and several new clothes and shoes.

As a peer, Mei Zi needs to add makeup to these girls.

"Mom, what do you think I should give you?"

"How about a handkerchief?" Yun Xi didn't have any good ideas.
