Happiness System

The next morning, Qin Yunxi did not treat the people from other families differently. He arranged breakfast and carriages for them all.

The road conditions in Mo Nan were not very good, and even though they were taking the pipeline, the speed was not very fast.

Fortunately, they were not in a hurry.

They walked until the sun was setting before they arrived at the entrance of Baiyuan Village.

The servants around Qin Yunxi knew that they would arrive today and had been waiting there early.

"Greetings to the Madam, the Second Master, and the Young Master!"

"Greetings to the old lady, the master, and the mistress!"

When it was the turn of the other families, everyone just knelt and saluted.

Ignoring the dissatisfied look of the eldest wife, the leader Honglian said to Qin Yunxi with a smile: "My wife, the kang has been heated up at home and we are ready to have hot food later. Why don't we go home first?"

Qin Yunxi and the others did not get out of the car. They just nodded and lowered the curtains when they heard what was said.

The two carriages in the lead both belonged to Qin Yunxi, and the coachmen were also family members. As soon as Honglian jumped onto the carriage, he whipped the horses and drove them forward.

Because they had given them enough benefits, Baiyuan Village did not treat them differently and excluded them. The village also took the Fu family and the Qin family into consideration, so they took over a large piece of land on the right side of the village.

The land was barren and rocky and not suitable for farming, but the village chief generously allocated an extra ten feet to them.

The houses of the Fu family, including the Fu family members, have been built.

Qin Yunxi and his family lived in the first row, and the six households were all made of stones and blue bricks. The second row was prepared by Qin Yunxi for the Qin family, and was also built with stones and blue bricks.

Although the third to fifth rows also have six households in a row, their houses are made of adobe and have tiled roofs like most villagers.

As for whether the room is large enough for the Fu clan members to live in, that is not within her consideration. It should be considered by the clan leader.

Qin Yunxi's house was a side unit, and she arranged her three elders and sister-in-law next to her. Both units were fully furnished, and the porcelain and ironware commonly needed at home were also prepared.

Seeing that Qin Yunxi had no intention of making arrangements for other people, Fu Ronglang decided to let the remaining sons live downstairs in order of seniority.

Of course, the order of seniority is based on legitimate wife first and illegitimate children later.

After the house was divided, the people around Qin Yunxi pushed her and the two children into the house.

Because the relationship between the couple was not good, the people serving Qin Yunxi did not think highly of Fu Xiuwen.

Fu Xiuwen was well aware of this and didn't mind the cold reception he received at home. He just followed him in without saying a word.

On Fu Ronglang's side, the second steward of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion and a nanny who combed her hair by herself beside the old lady followed over. In addition, Qin Yunxi had two little maids who had no parents and nowhere to go arranged for them to live in their courtyards.

Hearing the noise outside, several people hurried out.

Seeing that the old lady looked tired, the nanny bowed and quickly asked the maid to help the old lady into the house.

"Brother, Zhang is not feeling well and can't stand the cold wind, so let's go back first." After saying this, Fu Xiuwu took his wife and children and ran away.

The other two families also hurriedly returned to their homes with their wives, children and aunts.

Honglian came into the house and took another little maid to carry the two little masters to the kang, took off their shoes and let them go up and play.

The imperial capital was located in the south, and the wealthy families built fire walls and used floor heating for heating. The two children had never seen a kang.

The two children felt the heat from the kang, their eyes sparkling. Seeing that the adults were not paying attention, they stood up and stamped their feet lightly.

Soon the brother and sister started laughing and playing.

Seeing the little girl go out and bring back a basin of hot water, Qin Yunxi hurriedly stopped them and said, "Quiet down, wash your hands, it's time for dinner."

Fu Yuhan was being chased by her brother. Upon hearing this, she hid in her arms and said, "Mom, Han'er is hungry!"

"Little monster!" Qin Yunxi smiled and tapped her nose, then took the hot towel and carefully wiped her face and hands.

Fu Xiuwen, who was standing by, was not so doting on his son. He just threw the handkerchief over and left him alone.

Seeing Honglian prepare the dishes, Qin Yunxi looked at the dishes before asking, "Have you arranged everything for the old lady and the Madam?"

"My dear, everything has been arranged. The food we sent over this morning is enough for the old lady and her family to eat for three to five days.

Madam Zhao even said she would cook for the old lady herself."

Qin Yunxi nodded and smiled, "Madame Zhao's grandfather was a famous imperial chef. You are in for a treat."

"Huabing!" Fu Yuhan's eyes brightened when he heard Zhao Ma's name.

Nanny Zhao's family background was not bad. If her father's family had not been involved in the harem struggle and wrongfully imprisoned, she might still be a noble lady in the imperial capital.

The old lady of the Fu family had an old relationship with her mother, and she was asked by an old friend to redeem her, thus saving her from being humiliated in the Teaching House. From then on, Nanny Zhao stayed with the old lady and never left.

She was always cold to everyone except the old lady. She didn't know why the original owner's children caught her eye, and she often fed the two little ones.

This is also one of the reasons why Qin Yunxi took such good care of the old lady along the way.

Before the Fu family encountered trouble, Nanny Zhao had just promised the two children that she would take them to pick flowers, but before they could take action, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion collapsed.

It's rare that Fu Yuhan, at such a young age, still remembers this.

Qin Yunxi shook her head and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to eat flower cakes this year. Aunt Zhao is good at more than just flower cakes. Let your father take you to the county tomorrow and see if there are any good ingredients. Buy them back and we'll ask Aunt Zhao to help make some to satisfy your cravings!"

She turned around and said to Fu Xiuwen, "After dinner, you and your father should take some things to the village chief's house and see if he can take you to register your household registration tomorrow."

"Well, leave everything outside to me!" Fu Xiuwen didn't know how to face his wife from yesterday until now.

Because of his stupidity, many misunderstandings have been caused, and it may be difficult for his wife to resolve the knot in her heart.

Seeing Fu Xiuwen's slightly flattering smile, Qin Yunxi paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "I plan to build a dual-track academy here. Ding Hai has already found a place. I'll tell you my ideas when you come back later. The rest is up to you."

Seeing that she didn't allow any arguments, Fu Xiuwen suppressed his worries and agreed.

When he came back, Qin Yunxi had fallen asleep with the two children.

The next morning, on the way to handle household registration with the village chief, he informed Fu Ronglang about Qin Yunxi's plan to set up a school.

Fu Ronglang was stunned for a long time before he sighed and said, "It's a pity that our Fu family is a military family, but we can't be as decisive as a woman in terms of foresight and consideration!"

The two little ones finally crawled out of the warm bed, only to find out that their father had gone to the county town early. They were annoyed with themselves for sleeping too much and angry that their father did not wake them up.

Qin Yunxi touched their heads and said, "Your father is going to do some work. It's too early and it's very cold outside. He doesn't want you to get up early and suffer from the cold.

We can buy the ingredients for making snacks next time, but we also have many other things at home..."

Children's happiness is simple, and they forget their worries very quickly. The brother and sister finished their breakfast in a short while, and ran to the next door to pull Zhao Mama over.

Fu Mingxuan was very smart. He had only eaten the snacks made by Madam Zhao and didn't know what else she was good at, so he thought of simply pulling Madam Zhao over and letting her choose the ingredients herself.

"Oh, my sister-in-law really knows how to enjoy life. She even built a house that is much better than ours! Tsk, this house is so warm! Poor me, a pregnant woman, and my young children, I don't know how they survived the cold and hunger yesterday!"

After Zou Yiran woke up, she took her child to her mother-in-law's house to get a meal, but she didn't expect that her mother-in-law and the old lady had already eaten, and no one was allowed to bring them breakfast, even though she and the child hinted at it.

Just when she couldn't bear it any longer, she saw the two children from the second house coming to see Madam Zhao, so she ran over.

Qin Yunxi ignored Zou Yiran's sarcasm. They had a falling out on the road. If it wasn't for the sake of the child and her own peace of mind, she wouldn't even give the house to the eldest wife.

She walked up to Zhao Mama and helped her up, saying, "Mama, you look much thinner, but are you not used to living here?"

Madam Zhao also smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I am doing well here. Steward Ding and Miss Honglian are also very caring towards me. But I am worried about the old lady and the masters, and I feel uneasy."

Qin Yunxi's house had a fire wall in addition to a big kang, so the temperature inside was very comfortable. She supported Aunt Zhao and asked her to sit next to her, and then asked, "Did the old lady sleep well last night? In the past, the old lady was most likely to get sick in winter. From now on, we will trouble Aunt Zhao to take care of her for us."

Madam Zhao half-sat on the chair, smiling at Fu Mingxuan and his sister, and replied, "Second Madam, you are too polite. It is my duty to serve the old lady, and I cannot bear the trouble.

The old lady slept soundly last night, and this morning she told the lady not to use the rules of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, and not to ask the ladies to visit the emperor every morning and evening. Now that they have separated, they should live their own lives. "

As she spoke, she glanced at Zou Yiran.

Qin Yunxi was about to speak when she saw Honglian and Ding Hai walk in. She also saw the two children looking at her eagerly, so she had to ask Nanny Zou to take the two children downstairs quickly.

Seeing Zou Yiran still sitting there shamelessly, she said with a half-smile, "Madam, what are you doing? Aren't you busy at home? Don't you need to take care of your belongings and children?"

When Zou Yiran was about to ignore her sister-in-law's cold eyes and ask her directly for something, she heard Fu Yuxin's sharp cry outside. Her face changed and she ran out immediately.

Qin Yunxi frowned and asked the little girl to go and check, so as not to cause any trouble at her door.

After it became quiet outside, they went to the side hall to discuss business.

It took Qin Yunxi and her companions three months to travel from the imperial capital to the southern desert. Although Ding Hai and his companions set out only three days earlier than the Fu family, they were divided into two teams, one riding on horseback and the other taking a carriage, and it only took them half a month to twenty days to reach their destination.

According to Qin Yunxi's idea, their first thing was to investigate places in the south of the desert that were relatively safe and suitable for living. After selecting a place, they would build houses and then invest in properties.

A month ago, they received news that Qin Yunxi wanted to build a college, so they started looking for a site and buying land.

In addition to building a house for the Fu family to live in, they have bought five shops, three in Baicheng and two in Heilong County, and also bought a farm 20 miles away from Baiyuan Village.

Then there is the academy. Since we received the news late and didn't know how big the stall the master needed, we just bought a piece of land on the outskirts of Heilong County. We have also only purchased some building materials and are preparing to start construction.

Qin Yunxi flipped through the account book in her hand, made some suggestions and expressed her ideas about the academy, and then asked Ding Hai to go and discuss with Fu Xiuwen.

The construction of the academy was left to them, and she would consider the next step after seeing the response from the General's Mansion.
