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

Chapter 231 Grandmother Jia 33

"One for each person, take it if you like. Boss, here is a set of the twelve zodiac animals, you can pay tribute to His Majesty."

Yun Xi pointed to an exquisite box that had never been opened. Jia She took his eyes off the sparkling crystal balls, leaned over and gently opened the box. Each crystal ball inside had a square base, standing quietly in the box, and each one was padded with cotton to prevent bumps.

"Wow! Each crystal ball is so big, and the animals inside are so cute!"

Jia Lian couldn't help but stare at it in a trance, and the crystal ball in his hand no longer had any fragrance.

Jia She stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't touch me, I'm going to the palace now."

After saying this, he solemnly closed the lid, picked it up and left.

Wang was envious. If such a big and beautiful crystal ball was presented by the Wang family, would her brothers still not be valued?

"Have you made your choice? Now go back. I'm tired."

Yun Xi waved her hand and let them leave. Zhang, Wang and all the concubines also had gifts. Lanhua was to deliver this one, while Lotus was holding a box and preparing to go to Ningguo Mansion. Originally, He was also going to pay her respects, but her daughter-in-law reacted too much, so she could only let the maid come to apologize, so Lotus went to deliver the crystal ball.

"Lotus, please also bring some of the Gaoyou double yolk eggs, Yangzhou spring tea, and Green Leaf Niupi Candy that I bought."

"Yes."

"Zhang, please share the specialties I brought with you with each of your masters. The jade and lacquerware are especially beautiful."

Juhua stepped out and took Zhang to the storeroom.

Everything is in perfect order.

The return gift that Hehua brought back to Ningguo Mansion was also a local specialty: Wuhu knife fish and Wuhu fermented bean curd.

"Leave it there and try it tonight."

Yun Xi could finally sleep peacefully.

I woke up in the evening feeling full of energy.

"Lanhua, find me some nice clothes. Let's go to the pavilion in the lake to have some tea."

Although they were going to drink tea, Yun Xi took people to sit in the courtyards of each girl first, and inspected to see whether the servants were taking good care of them.

"Baoqin, Sister Yuan's fiancé is in mourning. Please don't hang anything red or green in Huixinyuan. Also, be careful with the food so that no one finds fault with it."

Baoqin bowed to show that he remembered it.

Yuanchun and Zhou Qingzhi's wedding was originally scheduled for last year, but his grandfather passed away at the end of last year, so they had to reschedule the wedding date to the eighth day of the sixth lunar month of the following year. Yun Xi thought it was just right. At that time, Yuanchun would be over eighteen years old, and Zhou Qingzhi would have just turned twenty. This was the perfect age to get married.

However, since her future husband's family is in mourning, Yuanchun should keep a low profile.

"Fengchun loves to dance with swords. Qingying, please pay attention to her safety and make sure nothing happens to her."

There is no problem with Shaochun. Shaochun is a smart kid and keeps the yard in good order.

After strolling around the yard, I took the children to drink tea and write poetry. Life was so happy.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Jia Baoyu's first birthday party. Yun Xi was dressed gorgeously and noblely, acting as his ancestor's mascot throughout the whole process. Especially when the wife of Wang Ziteng of the Wang family came to talk to her, she responded casually.

Yun Xi was wearing a grey shirt with colorful embroidered flowers and wide sleeves, looking particularly relaxed. She was rude to the Wang family, but very polite to the people from the Xue family, which was puzzling.

"Master, the one-year-old ceremony has begun." Lanhua looked hesitant. "I wonder who put rouge and powder on the red cloth? Will there be any harm..."

Yun Xi said indifferently, "It's just to make up the numbers. Boys don't like rouge and powder."

After he finished speaking, there was silence at the Zhuazhou ceremony. Unexpectedly, the fat baby really held on to Yanzhi and refused to let go. How could anyone praise him?

The little girl had a pigtail tied up in her hair, and wore a bright red bellyband with a brocade brocade cloud pattern. On her chest hung a red gold eight-treasure necklace given by her grandmother, and on her hands and feet were pure gold bracelets. Her face was like the Mid-Autumn moon, and her complexion was like flowers in the morning spring. Her temples were as sharp as a knife, her eyebrows were like ink painting, her eyes were like peach petals, and her gaze was like autumn waves.

He is definitely a handsome golden boy, why would he hold on to Rouge so tightly?

Yun Xi took a look from afar and saw that the jade on the necklace was the same one Jia Baoyu wore when he was born. It seemed that he had been wearing it well.

Jia Zheng's face changed again and again. Seeing the chubby baby holding Rouge tightly, he snorted and turned away. His colleagues on the side had to praise Jia Zhu instead.

"Master Jia, isn't it a blessing for the eldest son to guard the family and the second son to be a happy child?"

"That's right, you already have a son who is a scholar. You are really the envy of others."

"Children don't understand. They just grab whatever is brightly colored. They will be fine when they grow up."

"That's right! Just train him well, the child is still young."

……

Not a single word was in praise of his second son. Jia Zheng forced himself to smile, feeling very upset. Turning around, he saw his tall, graceful, and well-mannered eldest son, who was calm and at ease among the children of nobles. His mood improved a lot, but when he thought of the books that his eldest son had grabbed during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony and the inkstone that Yu'er, his brother-in-law's son, had grabbed, he suddenly felt even more upset!

Yun Xi acted calm and collected. There were seven melons on the same vine, so how could all of them be delicious?

Jia Yuanchun and Jia Fengchun couldn't hold their heads up in front of their sisters, but Jia Shaochun didn't care. "When someone in the family works hard, someone else enjoys happiness. It seems that brother Jue is destined to enjoy happiness. I am a little envious, right, Sister Yuanchun, Sister Fengchun?"

Jia Fengchun's face flushed red. "Don't mention it. If a man grows up without knowing how to read and write, and only knows how to enjoy himself and have fun, what future will he have!"

Wang looked very bad, her teeth were about to break, but unfortunately no one comforted her. Zhang curled her lips and quickly invited everyone to sit down and eat.

Seeing this, the nurse hurriedly tried to take the rouge away from the child, but Jia Baoyu refused to let her. He held the rouge tightly and cried loudly. The nurse was speechless. What a playboy's fate! Why did you end up in the belly of the Second Wife? The Second Master is only a fifth-rank official. The Second Wife is so arrogant. It would be better for you to be reborn in the First Wife's womb...

The grand birthday party was hastily concluded. Yun Xi did not express any opinion. She was allowed to do whatever she wanted. Wang Shi could not hold her head up at home. Not long after, Jia Zheng brought Jia Baoyu to Yun Xi to raise.

Yun Xi:......

No! She doesn't want it!

"Mother, please take care of this child and don't let him grow up in a crooked way."

"I've taught your eldest brother's three children. Add Shaochun and Yingchun, and there are only five. The eldest wife has another concubine who's about to give birth, so there are only six in total. I've already taught three of your children. In the future, there will be Nianchun and Tanchun, so there will be five in total. I'm already busy, and now I have to teach Jue'er... Let your wife teach this child, so she won't think I'm stealing her child. I want to see how successful she can be with the child."

Yun Xi flatly refused, and Jia Zheng said in a gentle voice, "Six for the first wife and six for the second wife. Isn't this just right? Thank you for your hard work, mother. This is your son's filial piety to you."

Jia Zheng took out a box filled with oriental pearls.

"You're amazing at bribing your own mother. If you had given this to your boss, you wouldn't have been sitting on the bench forever."

Jia Zheng's expression changed over and over again, and finally he said, "Mother, how do you know that your son has never sent it?"
