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

Chapter 240 Grandmother Jia 42

"Three taels of ginseng, a hundred and twenty-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, sixty-year-old Poria cocos, and wild Ganoderma lucidum from the mountains." Yun Xi smiled and said, "They are all rare and good things. It's amazing that you remembered me, Lanhua. Make a pot of my treasured Laojunmei to treat this filial daughter-in-law."

Tao took out three more boxes and said, "I knew that the old lady knew the goods. Take a look at these ginseng, poria cocos, and ganoderma lucidum. Are they of good quality?"

Yun Xi took them and opened them one by one. They were indeed good things. The four items together cost more than one thousand taels of silver. It was obvious that Tao was thoughtful. However, considering what she asked for, she deserved the money.

"Haha, I'm in for a treat." Mrs. Tao took the teacup, closed her eyes and took a sip. "It smells delicious! Only you, old lady, are lucky enough to use these good things. I thought of you the moment I saw them."

"She likes it. I'll give her half a pound of orchids. I wouldn't want to give her more." Yun Xi nodded at Tao Shi from a distance. "Look at this clever mouth, Lin'er. Learn more from your mother. It will be very useful in the future."

"Oh, this child is so shy. If he could learn a little from me, I wouldn't have to worry anymore." Tao gently put down the teacup and said worriedly.

Yun Xi lowered her head to drink tea, and after taking a sip, she asked, "Why are you so sad? You are the mother of the Juren, you should be happy."

"Oh, it's because he wants to be elected as an official and doesn't want to continue taking the imperial examination. As a woman, I know all about officialdom. It's not that easy to find a suitable position for everyone." Tao sighed.

Jia Lin lowered his head.

Yun Xi somewhat understood Jia Lin's choice. He barely passed the imperial examination this year, and he might not be able to pass the imperial examination for the jinshi degree even after taking the exam several times. Instead of wasting time, it would be better for him to enter the officialdom early to gain experience. Although he might not be able to climb to a high position in the future because of his juren background, it would still be more cost-effective than taking the imperial examination for the jinshi degree until he is old.

"So that's what it is. It's not that simple. I'll ask She'er later."

After a long time, Yun Xi relaxed. It was not a big deal, but she had to wait for Jia She's reward.

Tao stayed and had a lively dinner with Yunxi. Yunxi felt very comfortable. No wonder Grandmother Jia liked Wang Xifeng. When there was someone to entertain her during the meal, she could eat two more bowls of rice. What's the difference between this and watching TV while eating?

"Juhua, take those four herbs to Rongxi Hall and give them to the Madam. Have She'er present them to His Majesty."

"Yes."

After Jia Pu celebrated his third day of mourning, Jia She's reward actually came. The emperor issued an imperial decree, promoting Jia She to the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness.

Yun Xi's breath hitched. This reward was totally unexpected. She had thought that the emperor would give Jia She real power, reward him with gold, silver, and jewelry, and approve Jia Hu's application to be crowned as the Crown Prince. She had thought that...

I never expected that the emperor would give such a reward. He was so generous, really generous.

"Lord Loyalty, please accept the order quickly."

Jia She woke up as if from a dream, "Your humble servant accepts the order and thanks the Lord for the great grace!"

After getting up, Jia She stuffed a big red envelope into the eunuch who announced the imperial edict. After sending him away, the whole mansion became lively.

Jia Zheng felt sad in his heart, but his face was very happy. "Congratulations, brother. Maybe you can restore the glory of our father and grandfather."

Jia She laughed heartily, "It is His Majesty's kindness. Second brother, you must also work hard."

The next day, Jia She was promoted to a higher rank and the emperor awarded him a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. The next day, the emperor approved Jia She's application and Jia Hu became the prince of the marquisate.

"My husband, my father-in-law is so amazing. He was promoted to a noble title after just one mission."

Tian Tian, ​​who had just married into the Marquisate and had become the wife of the prince, looked at Jia Hu with admiration and put her arm around his shoulders. "My husband, will the Rongguo Mansion produce another duke?"

The veins on Jia Hu's forehead were throbbing. "I don't know if there will be another Duke, but you will have a lovely baby soon."

As he said this, he pounced on the playful girl.

The red waves rolled, filling the room with laughter.

?

"La la la, I'm going to be the Marquis' wife. Today is such a great day! My son is even the heir apparent." Zhang couldn't contain her joy. "By the way, Honeysuckle, give my set of one-color palace makeup, a thousand-leaf, and gold orchid jewelry to Concubine Li. And her family wants to open a hospital in the capital, so go get her two thousand taels of silver."

"Yes~" Honeysuckle knelt down and responded.

"Mother, mother, I will be the son of the Marquis from now on. Please give me some pocket money." Jia Lian rushed in. "Please, new Marquis' wife, please be kind. Two taels of silver a month is really not enough."

"Alright, alright, my dear son, let me do the math and give everyone a raise. I can't just increase yours. Your brothers and sisters and your half-sisters and half-brothers also need a raise. This is no small matter." Zhang touched her son's face. "Why are you so cold? You must be running too fast. Xia Bing, bring the young master a bowl of ginger soup."

"Yes." Xia Bing came back quickly, "Ginger soup is here."

Jia Lian downed the ginger soup in one gulp and began to massage his mother's back, showing his attentiveness. "Mother, how much more can I give you? Grandmother, you and father get twenty taels a month, and my eldest brother and his wife also get ten taels a month after they got married. I don't ask for that much, I'll be thankful for five taels a month to spend."

"Why don't you ask your grandmother for money? Your grandmother gets forty taels of silver a month. The first and second wives each get twenty taels. How can the old lady spend the money?" Zhang laughed at him.

Jia Lian said with a guilty conscience, "Hehehehe."

Zhang narrowed her eyes, "What's going on? Are you hiding something from me?"

"Ah? Mother, you don't know?" Jia Lian wailed. How did the secret come out?

"What! Last year, mother gave each of you 10,000 taels of silver?! Where's your money? I thought, you haven't asked me for money for a long time." When Zhang heard this, she was shocked. Wow, mother-in-law is really rich. 10,000 taels of silver for each child, and she just gave away 100,000 taels!

"And there's the two thousand taels given by Mrs. Lin, two thousand taels for each of us." Jia Lian closed his eyes and confessed everything.

Zhang:!!!

"Okay, okay, you bunch of rebellious sons, none of you told me, where's the feather duster? Where's my feather duster?"

?

"What's going on outside?"

Yun Xi was teaching Yingchun and Jia Baoyu to read comic books when she heard a commotion outside.

Juhua walked in and whispered, "Madam, it seems that only the doctor knows about the fact that you gave 10,000 taels of silver to the young ladies and gentlemen last year."

"What? Only She'er's daughter-in-law knows about it? No one told her? Even if others didn't tell her, it's impossible for Hu'er not to tell her. You can go to Wutongyuan and ask." Yun Xi raised her chin.

"That twelve thousand taels of silver? No, no, I didn't go to Jiangnan. Later, my grandmother came back and gave me another ten thousand taels of silver. I was preparing for the provincial examination at the time and forgot about it." Jia Hu found the silver in the study.

Tian Tian was surprised. Is the Rongguo Mansion so lavish? The elders gave pocket money of 10,000 taels of silver? I'm so envious.

Jia Hu said softly, "Tian'er, I'll go give the money to mother and explain things while I'm at it."

"Ah? Okay, husband, go quickly and don't let mother worry." Tian Tian smiled generously.
