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

Chapter 210 Grandmother Jia 12

Lin Shu said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to have made my aunt worry about Shu'er."

"Why are you saying all this? You're too polite. Your parents just want you to come to the capital, a place no one knows, to find a husband for you." Cui ruffled her hair. "Although our Lin family's title has come to an end, Ruhai is a good student. You don't have to worry about having no one to support you in the future."

"Brother Ruhai is indeed a man of great learning. He will surely pass the imperial examination in three years." Lin Shu's eyes darted around. "Auntie, what does the man look like?"

"Oh, you can rest assured. My mother-in-law said that the man is as dazzling as a banished immortal from heaven, almost as dazzling as Ru Hai." Cui said with a smile.

Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

"You, you, you naughty girl."

Cui jokingly let her go. Which young man or girl doesn't admire Ai? She also came here and chose the most handsome one, Ru Haidie, from all the husband candidates.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the month again. The school was on vacation. Yun Xi had already asked the servant to deliver an invitation to the Lin family, so she dressed up that day and took Jia Min, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu to the Lin Mansion, with Jia She and Jing Si following on horseback.

Of course, gifts are indispensable.

The Lin family opened a side door to welcome them. Lin Ruhai was already standing at the door waiting. Jia Min opened the curtain of the carriage a tiny gap. It was really small. Even from the perspective of a god, he would only think that it was blown by the wind. He would not suspect that a rich young lady had already pried open a corner of the law.

Jia Min secretly glanced at Lin Ruhai, and a blush crossed her face. The man was so tall and handsome.

Yun Xi smiled slightly and closed her eyes.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard, and several maids carried two exquisite sedan chairs. Yun Xi took Jia Zhu in and pulled her nephew into the sedan chair.

Lin Ruhai was unaware that he was being watched by his fiancée. He entertained Jia She and Jing Si in the front yard and talked.

After Yun Xi and other female relatives and children were carried into the inner courtyard by the maids, Cui was waiting at the door of the main hall. Her courtesy was very considerate.

"My mother-in-law is here. Come in quickly. I recently got some good tea. Come and try it."

Yun Xi smiled brightly, "It's been a while since we last met. Hello, mother-in-law."

"Okay! Everything is fine!"

The younger generations behind her bowed politely one by one. Cui pulled over a strange and beautiful woman and introduced her to everyone. It turned out to be Lin Shu, with lively eyes, like a playful ghost.

"Miss Lin, this is my youngest daughter, Ming Min, and these two little kids are my eldest grandson, Jia Hu, and my second grandson, Jia Zhu."

"Hello, Miss Jia."

"Hello, Miss Lin (Aunt Lin)."

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and soon sat down. The servants of the Lin family were very considerate and served tea to the adults, honey water to the two children, and special snacks from Shendu and Jiangnan.

"Only here, my elder sister, can I eat authentic Jinling dim sum. I have been away from the south for too long, and I don't know if I will have the chance to go back and see the scenery of the Jiangnan water town in this lifetime." Yun Xi took a bite of the steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar and felt a sense of familiarity.

"If you like them, ask the kitchen to bring some back for you later. The more I see your two grandchildren, the more I like them. I wonder when I will be able to hold my grandchildren in my arms. Hu'er, Zhu'er, come here, grandma will give you a gift for meeting each other."

Cui took out two gold collars with a smile and waved to the two children to come over. Jia Hu cleverly pulled Jia Zhu over, and Cui put the gold collars on them personally. He touched them with joy.

"Thank you, Grandma Cui."

"Thank you grandma~"

The two of them thanked Naihuhu and returned to their seats.

Cui looked at Jia Min again and said, "Min'er, come here. I recently got a piece of pink jadeite and made it into a pair of heart-shaped pendants. You and Hai'er can each get one."

The blush on Jia Min's face had not yet faded, and she blushed again. She couldn't help but look at her mother. Yun Xi smiled and nodded, "Old sister, you want to have a grandchild in a few years. Look at how strong Min'er is. I've taken good care of him. I'll have one every year. Two in three years. Don't think it's too much, old sister."

"Mother~" Jia Min stamped her feet in a teasing manner, then stepped forward to take it, "Thank you, old lady."

Cui laughed heartily, "Hahaha, that's great. I wouldn't mind having too many grandchildren."

Yun Xi smiled in agreement and took out a box from the glass. "Miss Shu, this is the gift I prepared for you. Take a look and see if you like it."

Yun Xi prepared two kinds of gifts for the meeting, one ordinary and one valuable, depending on the value of the gift Cui gave.

Lin Shu saw that it was a pair of fine lotus-shaped, warm jade, and gold hairpins, and she couldn't help but refuse, "Old Madam, these are too expensive."

Yun Xi half stood up and inserted it into the other person's hair, "It's not expensive, but it suits you."

Cui nodded, "What a charming and pretty girl."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Not long after they chatted, three people came from the front yard. Lin Shu and Jia Min hurriedly hid behind the screen to peek.

Lin Shu saw such a handsome man, her heart pounding. She thought to herself, "Jing Juren is so handsome, isn't Jia Min so handsome?" She couldn't help but wonder: Will her fiancé pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar? With such a good look, he should be selected as the third place.

Jing Si couldn't see the people, so he could only judge whether two people were a good match based on their reactions. If the other person was not good-looking, these people would definitely show other emotions.

In this way, the marriage of the two was settled. They were both grown up, so they decided to get married in March next year, when the weather would be a little warmer, which was just right.

Juren had the tax-free right to 1,200 acres of land. Jingsi rented the land to tenants and took 50% of the rent. One acre of land produced three stone of grain, and he got 1.5 stone. In Kyoto, one stone of wheat could be sold for one tael and five cents. Moreover, the land could be harvested twice a year, so he could earn four thousand taels of silver a year. In six years, he saved twenty thousand taels of silver.

Later, he rebuilt a three-courtyard house in Jingjia Village outside the city, but he couldn't let the girl live in the village after getting married, so he took out five thousand taels and bought a large three-courtyard house on Ningrong Street.

This is because he is a teacher, and the Jia family gave him a friendly price. Otherwise, it would not be easy to buy a house in this area.

The middleman told the Lin family that Jingsi had bought a house. Someone from the Lin family came to measure the dimensions and soon delivered all the furniture. They also told them that Lin Shu's parents and family had come to Shendu and wanted to meet their future son-in-law during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, Jingsi had no objection.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for autumn harvest. People from the farm below came to deliver some special products and handed over their harvest. Yun Xi saw that there was no problem on her side, so she took the money and left some money for the manager to give some benefits to the people in the farm.

In winter, the managers of these farms would also send local specialties, which was another source of income. The farms had two main sources of output: the most stable was the harvest from the land, and the other was medicinal herbs, prey from the mountains, fish and shrimp from the water, and so on.

In the original text, the head of the Jia family was quite greedy in the later period, but this was not the case with Yun Xi. Anyone who dared to embezzle would be replaced immediately.
