Chapter 218 Grandmother Jia 20
Yun Xi felt that time passed very quickly. When the relationship between the Jia family and the four princes and eight dukes became increasingly distant, Wang Shi became pregnant again.
Looking at little Yingchun who was playing with nine rings next to her, and the grandchildren in the room, Yun Xi wondered silently, did she change the plot or not?
"Okay, I get it. The Second Madam is old, so you maids should be more vigilant. Honeysuckle, send the ginseng from my storehouse over there so that the Second Madam can take good care of it." Yun Xi glanced at the maid leaving outside and asked, "Yuanchun, who was that maid just now?"
Yuanchun whispered, "Grandmother, that's Zhou Rui's daughter. She's thirteen this year and wants to serve my mother for two years so she can have a good reputation when she gets married."
Yun Xi nodded. It was only natural. She couldn't stop Wang and her concubines from interacting. When they had driven them away, she and Zhang had both been decisive. Only Wang, it was said, had arranged for the four concubines to live on her dowry farm...
Nowadays, there are also people in the mansion who have fallen in love and are getting married, but they all rent houses outside and do not live in the mansion.
"System, can I take the jade from Jia Baoyu's mouth remotely?"
The system sent a shaking head emoji, "Difficult!"
Yun Xi's face was solemn. Everything was going well at home, and she didn't want any changes.
It is now the eighth day of the seventh month of the nineteenth year of Yong'an. Jia Hu, who is already a student, is preparing to take part in the provincial examination next month to become a scholar. If he can pass, he will be an excellent scholar at the age of twenty. Moreover, he has a fiancée who is the youngest daughter of the Minister of Rites.
Nineteen-year-old Jia Zhu will also be taking the exam for a scholar next year, but hasn't even started looking for a husband yet. Fifteen-year-old Yuanchun has already chosen the eldest princess's youngest son as her fiancé. Jia Lian, who's the same age, naturally hasn't made any marriage plans, but he's very interested in business and plans to go into business after passing the exam. And then there are Zhang'er, Fengchun, Shaochun, Yingchun, and the rest...
Yun Xi doesn't want her peaceful life to be disrupted, so she has to make preparations in advance!
The others didn't realize anything, but Yun Xi showed a little more concern for Wang during her pregnancy, and gave her several rewards later.
In August, Jia Hu successfully passed the examination and ranked tenth, which was pretty good. The competition in the capital was very fierce. From now on, he should focus on preparing for the imperial examination. I don’t know if he can pass the next year’s exam, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t, as he is still young.
As Wang's period was getting worse, all the affairs of the Second House were handed over to Yun Xi. With the New Year approaching, looking at the gift list of the Second House, there were gifts from the Shi family, the Wang family, the Xue family, and Min'er. It wasn't difficult to handle, except for the extra gifts from Wang Ziteng...
"Rosewood, send someone to return Wang Ziteng's gift and tell him that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled."
"Yes~"
After Yun Xi finished, she played mahjong with the children. This was a rare form of entertainment for the people in the inner house. It was not easy to go out in winter, otherwise they could go to a hot spring or something.
"Mother, Min'er said Yu'er has been ill recently."
Yun Xi took the envelope in confusion. Sick? Take medicine. Isn't that the Da Huan Dan she gave you? Why don't you take it?
After opening the envelope, Jia Min discovered that she had given the medicine to her mother-in-law, Cui. Cui had been so kind to her that she had not forced them to take a concubine and had gradually handed over her assets to her for management. The two had developed a genuine affection for each other. Seeing her mother-in-law dying, she could not bear to be cruel. However, this time, Lin Yu's illness was more severe...
"System, is this Jinghuan's doing?"
System: "I'm not sure, but if Cui dies, Lin Yu dies, and then Jia Min dies, then Lin Daiyu will have no choice but to come to Rongguo Mansion and meet Jia Baoyu."
Yun Xi nodded, realizing that she had already started planning, and began to write the letter.
Five days later, Jia Min in Yangzhou received the letter and saw Xiang Yi. She was worried. Two hundred thousand taels of silver for one, so... so cheap!
My mother had just given me half a pill, but that was worth a hundred thousand taels of silver...
"I'll go get it ready!"
He has a blank expression on his face. He is a ruthless and otherworldly expert...
After Jia Min helped the prime minister deliver a handful of silver onto the boat, she received a Dahuan Pill and immediately gave half of it to her son. She watched the blush on her son's face slowly fade away and he stopped talking nonsense. Another day passed and Lin Yu was completely recovered.
At this time, Cui Shi began to deal with the secrets in the family with a serious face. Within three days, she found the murderer and killed three people in front of all the servants in the mansion. She sold fifty people in the mansion, and only thirty servants were left in the mansion.
There were two maids accompanying Cui, totaling ten people. There were twelve maids accompanying Jia Min, eight of whom were given by her mother and four by her mother-in-law. There were four servants accompanying Lin Ruhai and four new servants selected for Lin Yu.
Jia Min ignored her husband. She felt that there were too few people around her son, so she ordered, "Shatang and Huaying, you two will be promoted to first-class maids. Go to the young master and take good care of him. Make sure to check the incense, food, tea, etc. I don't want Fugui to get into trouble again."
"Yes! I will definitely protect the young master!"
After the New Year, when Yun Xi received news from Jia Min again, Wang was giving birth. She stayed in the delivery room waiting quietly. For today, she followed Wang's example and had several midwives "have accidents" and be delayed, so she went to deliver the baby herself.
From the evening of April 25th to the next morning, the exhausted Wang gritted her teeth and ate a bowl of bird's nest soup before she had the strength to give birth to Jia Baoyu. Yun Xi stretched her head out and watched Jia Baoyu's head come out first. She quickly reached into his mouth, took out a small piece of jade and threw it into the mustard seed space. Only then did she feel relieved and carefully helped Wang with the delivery until the baby was born.
After giving birth, Wang, who was exhausted, fainted. Rendong whispered beside Yunxi, "Madam, when the young master was born, all the flowers outside were blooming..."
Yun Xi said solemnly and decisively, "Block this news immediately. If anyone dares to spread it, don't blame me for being cruel."
Honeysuckle shuddered all over, the joy in her heart immediately disappeared without a trace, the blood color faded from her lips, and she quickly ran out to do her business.
Holding the big-faced baby in her arms, Yun Xi washed him clean, wrapped him in a blanket with the help of the maid, and placed him next to Wang, asking Zhang to look after him while she went back to rest. At this time, the servants brought the letter from the Lin family. It turned out that the twelve-year-old Lin Yu was fully recovered and was getting smarter and smarter. Jia Min asked if it was because of the pill?
"System, does the Great Rejuvenation Pill have this effect?"
The system had never heard of such a thing, and hesitantly said, "Maybe it's possible. After all, it is made of spiritual herbs and rare ingredients from the world of cultivation."
"Forget it, it's pointless to ask you. The Fairy Fairy has already descended to the mortal world, Daiyu won't be far behind, Baochai should be three years old by now, and there are also Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun, and so on." Yun Xi sighed softly, "System, you said I fill that luminous cup with Daiyu's tears and give it to Baoyu, and let him say that the debt is cleared, is that okay?"
System: "I'm afraid this won't work. First, the luminous cup might be recognized by Jing Huan. Second, Jia Baoyu likes rouge and beautiful girls, not cups."
Yun Xi:......
