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

Chapter 229 Grandmother Jia 31

Lin Yu was still in a daze until he returned home. When Cui saw the blood on her eldest grandson's body, she rushed over.

"Yu'er, what's going on?"

Lin Yu took a deep breath and his complexion slowly returned to normal.

"I was assassinated, and it was this skilled swordsman who saved me!"

Yun Xi saw the clean Xiang Er, then looked at the dirt on her grandson's body, and raised her eyebrows. Do puppets also have mysophobia?

Cui and Lin Ruhai also looked at Xiang Er, "Thank you very much, benefactor. Who is it?"

"It's just a coincidence. I have something else to do and I'm leaving first."

Xiang Er nodded slightly, did not ask for any reward, turned around and walked to the gate. Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and after a closer look, he found that the man was indeed gone. Only then did he believe what his son said about his great martial arts skills.

Lin Yu rushed to the gate, looked left and right but couldn't see anyone, so he walked back disappointed.

Yun Xi was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Grandmother, our benefactor left so quickly. I was hoping to learn martial arts from him. You have no idea how powerful he was. I didn't even feel anyone around, but he was the first to sense the murderous intent. He was like lightning, carrying me on his back. With a raised sword, he killed more than a dozen assassins, beheaded. And those captains... Oh, Dad, our benefactor killed Captain Liu and the others. When we arrived, several of them were sitting together plotting..."

Lin Yu's topic quickly went off topic, and Lin Ruhai, who had just welcomed a daughter, had to deal with it quickly. He didn't expect these people wanted to harm his only son.

"Mother, mother-in-law, I leave the house to you. I'm going to the government office. Yu'er, don't run around anymore."

"Go ahead, leave the house to me."

Yun Xi waved her hand and took charge of the Matriarch's Courtyard. "Lanhua, you and Aunt Mei should arrange everything in the courtyard. Don't let anyone take advantage of any loopholes. Especially what you put in your mouth, you must be careful. What foods are mutually exclusive? What foods are originally non-toxic and become toxic when put together. You have all learned this. Don't take it lightly."

Aunt Mei nodded seriously, "Don't worry, old lady."

Lanhua also said, "I have asked Lotus, who has the most sensitive sense of taste, to guard Miss Min's bedside."

"Let Juhua go too, to help the young lady with the lochia." Yun Xi quickly made arrangements. "Kong Qing, take Du Ruo and Chen Xiang to look after the young lady. Chen Xiang has milk, right?"

Kong Qing replied, "Yes, Chenxiang has just given birth for two months and has plenty of milk. Let's go and protect the young lady."

"That's good."

Chenxiang married a scholar when she was eighteen years old. Now she has her second child. Her in-laws are not very wealthy, so she was hired back to work after marriage. She signed a work contract and the salary of a wet nurse is not low, and the food is not bad.

Cui took the maid to the kitchen to take charge, fearing that those people would become too cruel.

After Yun Xi finished making the arrangements, she saw Lin Yu, who was in a daze, and asked, "Yu'er, do you really want to learn martial arts?"

"Grandma, today I faced the dangers of officialdom. I have a sense of urgency in my heart. I want to protect my family and my newborn sister." Lin Yu nodded seriously, "So I want to learn martial arts well."

Yun Xi felt she had to ask, "But you have to study and practice martial arts at the same time, don't you feel tired? Other children can go out and play, but you can only practice hard at home, don't you feel unbalanced?"

Lin Yu said embarrassedly, "No, grandson, let me be honest. Ever since I recovered from my last serious illness, I've had a photographic memory, so learning martial arts is not difficult for me. As for feeling unbalanced, I won't do that. Only those who endure hardships can become the best."

Yun Xi nodded, "Okay, grandma will help you find this person. You, go and look after your sister first. At least wait until your mother is finished with her confinement, then we can talk about training martial arts."

"it is good."

Lin Yu ran to look after his sister.

During the third day bath, the Cui family did not invite many people, mainly because the Lin family had few relatives and the blood ties among the clansmen were very distant. The Cui family had the young nephew and his wife come, the Lin family had several young people represent the clan, and the Jia family had Yun Xi, but the Zhang family sent a lot of gifts.

The midwife was so happy to see the gold and silver in the basin that she couldn't stop smiling. Her movements became gentler. The weather was not warm, so she just sprinkled some water symbolically for the third bath and quickly picked up the child and put on his clothes.

Jia Min looked at the well-behaved little girl and loved her so much, "My husband, what name did you give your daughter?"

"Hey! I've chosen so many names and I'm not satisfied with any of them!"

Whenever Lin Ruhai had free time, he would take out a piece of paper to choose a name. He wrote and drew several times, but he couldn't make up his mind. He wanted to give his daughter the words with the best meanings, but a name could only have three characters at most.

Jia Min said gently, "Why not let our daughter choose for herself?"

Lin Ruhai's eyes lit up. This is a good idea. "Then let my daughter choose. They are all good names anyway."

In this way, the little girl's chubby paws swept through a pile of paper balls, and finally chose her destined name - Lin Daiyu!

"What a nice name! From now on, I'll call you Daiyu. How about a nickname?"

Cui said: "Yu'er is called Fugui, Daiyu is called..."

Yun Xi interrupted her quickly, "No, the little girl still needs to be given a clear and elegant name."

Lin Ruhai nodded vigorously. Yu'er's nickname Fugui was really too indecent.

"Daiyu, Daiyu, how about calling her Qing'er?" Yun Xi said casually, "The color blue represents vitality and hope."

"This is good!"

"Let's call her Qing'er. I hope she grows up to be full of vitality."

……

The child grew taller and taller. All the important people in Yangzhou came to the full-moon banquet. When they saw the chubby Daiyu, they were full of praise.

Lin Yu was pleasantly surprised to see Xiang Er's presence.

"That benefactor!"

Yun Xi smiled and said, "I found him for you. He is willing to teach you for three years. From now on, he will be your martial arts master."

"Wow! Thank you, grandma!" Lin Yu wanted to jump up with joy.

After all, he is still a child and doesn't know the hardships of learning martial arts. I hope he won't regret it in the future. After all, what Xiang Yi and Xiang Er teach is not ordinary martial arts.

"Old Lady Shi, how about what we talked about last time? Although my boy is naughty, he is very filial."

Yun Xi turned her head and saw that it was Li Tongzhi's wife, Ge. It was hard to say whether his youngest son was naughty or not. Just going to a brothel at the age of twelve was not acceptable. It showed that the family tradition was not strict. Moreover, if an official of the fifth rank wanted to marry the concubine's daughter of the earl, he had to have at least the eldest son as his match. What was the point of her being the youngest son?

"Mrs. Ge, my Shaochun is still young, and families all hope that girls marry close by so they can see their children often. Your child has no chance with that." Yun Xi said bluntly.

Mrs. Ge, however, was unwilling to give up. "My master will be promoted to an official in the capital in a few years, and he will be in the capital too. By then, the two children will be of the right age."

Yun Xi frowned, "Madam Ge, my eldest daughter-in-law has no daughters, and she values ​​the concubines very much. They are all raised as wives of the clan. If she wants to find a wife, she will only look for the eldest son, or at least an outstanding man with a good reputation."

This is just short of saying that your son is a waste.
