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

Chapter 112 The Love-minded Grandma in the Weird Neighborhood 28

"No, the boss is simply jealous of Tao Yao. He thinks it's unfair for a commoner like her to marry into a noble family, so he wants his daughter to marry into the family."

Yun Xi understood immediately, "Come on, I understand. If you want to change your fate, how do you deal with this poison?"

"Chronic poisons can be washed several times with warm soapy water and then rubbed with petroleum jelly or olive oil."

Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief, then closed the lid and went to find Tao Yao with the gift and the two gifts she had prepared.

"System, let's talk later. I have to do my work first."

As he spoke, he clicked and sent several romantic carriages to the system.

"Ahhh! Thank you for the gift, host. I'll wait for you."

Taoyao is getting married tomorrow and is busy checking her dowry while giving her brothers some advice on how to live their lives.

"Taoyao, what are you doing?"

"Auntie Yun, you're here." Tao Yao said enthusiastically, "Come in and have some tea. I'm getting married tomorrow, so it won't be easy for us to meet again."

"If I miss you, I'll just pass you a note." Yun Xi pushed the two boys, "You guys stay outside first, Tao Yao and I have a private chat."

Zhao Deping pulled his brother away and said, "Let's go check on the house."

Tao Yao pulled Yun Xi into the boudoir and asked curiously, "Auntie Yun, what's going on?"

"Why are you here today? Three things. First, this pair of pink jade bracelets was given by the Shen family. They were given with good intentions, but the owner of the Heart-Bending Jade used them to his advantage. They contain a chronic poison. Wash them several times with wood ash water and apply petroleum jewellery or olive oil to preserve them."

"This box of jewelry is a gift from me for you, made to order. Please put these two items on your dowry list to make it look good."

"The third thing is this fire-avoidance diagram. Haha, this is a bit embarrassing to talk about, but I have to say it. It's about the relationship between men and women. Look at the diagram, and I'll tell you a few things. First, maintain hygiene. Men won't get sick if they're dirty, but women are prone to getting sick if they're dirty. Second, the seven days before and after your period are your safe period, so it's not easy for men and women to conceive. Third, young people should be restrained. There were cases where men and women were not restrained, and the man's hair turned white overnight..."

Yun Xi was talking until her mouth was dry and Tao Yao was listening with smoke on her head. After two quarters of an hour, the two looked at each other in silence, and everything was said without words.

The next day, Yun Xi got up early and went next door to see what people had arranged. Everything was presided over by someone who knew the rules. She brought Yun Duan here to have a drink.

My mother's family only set up two tables to invite neighbors to the banquet, and the main venue was the residence of Yuan Renbo.

However, Yun Xi will not go there. Deping De'an can bring a few young men from the neighborhood to see her off, and she will entertain the guests at her parents' home.

The wedding band was banging and the groom came to pick up the bride.

Because his sister was getting married, Deping De'an gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to book two tables of banquets at a big restaurant. The dishes included chicken, duck, fish, mutton, abalone, kelp, etc., which were relatively precious ingredients, and there were also several jars of osmanthus wine.

"Everyone, please feel free to find a seat, eat and drink well. Today is a good day."

Yun Xi stood up and greeted everyone. After confirming that the guests were all seated, she began to serve the dishes. During the meal, everyone couldn't help but talk about how Tao Yao had married a good husband and that the Zhao family would have to change its fortune in the future.

Yun Xi smiled. If they knew that the parents and relatives of the three children of the Zhao family had been killed early, they would not say that.

The fake Zhao mother took Tao Yao to meet Lu Sheng once. From then on, Tao Yao began to protect Li Hao and the other four for almost ten years. The fake Zhao mother originally thought that it would be a good idea for Tao Yao to marry Lu Da at that time, but she didn't expect that Lu Sheng didn't tell her about his plan, which led to the subsequent loss of control.

The host and guests enjoyed the meal very much. After everyone sat for a while, Yun Xi saw them to the door. The most important thing after that was the gift list.

Yun Xi picked up the red paper and took a look. There were sixteen people in total, fourteen adults and two children, all of whom were nearby neighbors. Some gave one or two taels of gift money, while others gave ten taels. Some had given gifts yesterday, but no one came today, so they asked their maid to bring ten taels of gift money. The most came from the four of the eighth prince. They sent their housekeeper to bring gifts, and each family gave one hundred taels of silver. But no one came because they went to have a feast at Marquis Yuanren's house.

A total of four hundred and eighty taels of silver, Deping and De'an recovered some of their losses.

I took Jiujin and Qinglin to help clean up the tables, chairs and benches. Jiujin was leaving with the leftovers, and they were all good things to save for dinner.

At 12:00 PM, Deping and De'an returned, reeking of alcohol. Yunxi frowned, and Deping quickly explained, "Master, we didn't drink, it was the people at the same table who got it."

Deping nodded, "Brother-in-law, I heard that the young men drank too much apricot blossom wine to entertain our bridesmaids."

"Okay, this is the gift list and money, please keep it safe. The house is ready. Next, I will prepare to move to the Shen family's yard." Yun Xi handed the cash box to Deping.

"Did the master buy a big house?"

Zhao Deping was surprised.

"Yes, do you want to buy this house I own? If you do, I'll lower the price to one thousand taels of silver." Yun Xi thought that Li Hao had renovated their house, and since he was the brother-in-law of the two children, it would be better to sell it at a lower price. "The furniture inside is all good. I plan to move in and use it. The kang, stove, and fruit tree can all stay."

Deping opened the cash box and counted, "Master, we only have 700 taels of silver now."

"Okay, I'll pay this much first, and you can pay me back later."

That's it.

Deping and De'an are preparing to move to a new house. They are currently living in what was given as their sister's dowry. When her sister comes back to visit, she can tell her parents about it. Whether she wants to rent it out or not, it will be a source of income.

The eighth day of the sixth lunar month is a good day for moving. Yun Xi moved into the new house with her family. Jiujin and his family of three still lived in the back house, but the back house of this house was much more spacious than the one next door.

Yun Xi visited her new house. How should I put it? It looked very comfortable. There was a clump of bamboo planted behind the screen wall as soon as she entered the courtyard, and there were also rows of bamboos beside the wall. In the north, only this kind of bamboo with strong vitality can survive, and the others cannot survive the winter.

Walking into the round moon gate from the first courtyard, there are only five main rooms in the second courtyard. The west side of the place where the wing rooms should be is arranged into a small garden, which is very elegant and natural. The small pond, lotus flowers, crabapple and pomegranate trees complement each other, and there are also a few plum trees standing quietly in the corner.

Jiujin glanced at it and shook his head, "The area for paving the green bricks is too big, it's not easy to grow vegetables."

Yunduan has gone to play in the water, and no one knows where the water in the pool comes from or where it flows to.

"Don't touch the scenery here, I like it very much. You can pry some bricks around the well on the east side to plant vegetables." Yun Xi was happy and took a closer look at the small garden. There were actually several orchids and quite a few chrysanthemums, including plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

"Madam Yun, I didn't see the kitchen." Jiujin frowned, "Did the Shen family always eat out before?"

"Don't be anxious, go and see if it's in the back house. I remember there are four rooms in the back house." Yun Xi comforted her.
