Happiness System
Chapter 15: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (4)
The day before, Mu Jingheng asked someone to clean the newly rented house and booked a carriage with the inn.
So when the rain stopped a little, he moved his family into the new house.
The location of the house is pretty good. The main street is just outside the alley. The neighbors in the same alley include two constables and three city guards, so shopping is convenient and security is relatively guaranteed.
Of course the price is not low!
A house with a yard, a living room, three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a small storage room. It was slightly bigger than their house in the countryside, and the monthly rent was two taels of silver!
This month's rent is equivalent to the annual household expenses of ordinary people in the city. It is a bit expensive, but it is considered lucky to be able to rent it. In addition, Qin Yunxi's physical condition was taken into consideration, and their family members also considered it, so they gritted their teeth and rented it.
Qin Yunxi was quite satisfied with the house. She walked around under the eaves and decided to use the room at the edge as a bedroom, the one in the middle as a study, and the one near the living room as a bed for Yin Baomu Daner.
The furniture is basically complete, and since they are staying here for a short period of time, they only need to add a desk for Mu Jingheng and can use the rest as they please.
Mu Jingheng helped Qin Yunxi look at each room one by one, wrote down the things she said needed to be bought, and gave some suggestions from time to time.
In half an hour, the couple decided on what to add, and then Mu Jingheng left again in the carriage. He agreed with the inn to rent the carriage for a day, which was convenient on rainy days.
Seeing that everyone had left, Qin Yunxi ordered his two younger brothers to move around.
When Mu Jingheng came back, the two brothers had finished their work. They both breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qinghe didn't bring much!
However, the two brothers were still very excited to see Mu Jingheng coming back, and all he brought back were food and daily necessities for them!
The two of them instantly felt that their lost strength had returned, and they eagerly asked their brother-in-law not to put them down!
Mu Jingheng let them do as they pleased. It was raining heavily outside and after just a few steps his clothes and shoes were soaked.
Before changing clothes, Mu Jingheng quietly took out a small box of facial cream from his arms and put it in Qin Yunxi's hand.
"Huh?" Qin Yunxi took a look at the warm thing in her hand and found that it was a facial cream, a facial cream of this era. She casually said two days ago that the strong wind made her face wrinkled. She didn't expect that he would remember to buy this thing for her. No wonder the little system praised him every day.
This person is rare!
"My dear, open it and see if you like it. I only bought the small box. If you don't like it, I can buy another scent next time." It was the first time for Mu Jingheng to do such a thing. He was a little nervous because he had no experience and was afraid that he would buy the wrong one and his wife would be unhappy.
Qin Yunxi opened it and took a look. It had a delicate and elegant scent, so she smiled at Mu Jingheng and said, "This is very good. Jingheng, thank you for your hard work."
Mu Jingheng's eyes softened when he heard her words. He reached out to tidy up her hair and said, "As long as you like it, madam."
"Jingheng has a good eye! Can we buy a desk? Now that the important matter is done, just leave the miscellaneous matters to Yinbao. Jingheng can just study and prepare for the exam. If you don't have enough money to buy books and four treasures of the study, we can sell two more embroidery items!"
Qin Yunxi lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze. What happened to this man these days? Why did he look at her with more and more warmth?
"Well, the store will deliver the desk this afternoon. Are you hungry, madam? It's a little late today, so I bought some food outside. I'll heat it up and you can eat it later." Mu Jingheng was very sensitive to emotions. He sighed secretly and walked out.
"Ding, wow, host, Mu Jingheng is really good! Why don't you just give in..." The little system couldn't help it anymore.
"Shut up!" Qin Yunxi looked cold.
Even parents are heartbroken, how can you expect others to be sincere to you?
ridiculous!
The Little Cloud System squatted in the corner and drew circles in grievance. The host changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. This woman is heartless!
As expected, the desk was delivered in the afternoon. Their family was simple and they had no acquaintances in the city who needed to be socialized with. Yinbao could cook and had a talent for cooking. Mu Jingheng took him out to buy ingredients once and then put aside the chores and started to concentrate on reading.
Every morning Yinbao takes Mudan out to shop and take a walk. Maybe it's too boring at home, so her sister spends most of the day sleeping like a snake in winter, and her brother-in-law is so engrossed in reading that he almost forgets to eat and sleep.
Seeing that no one noticed them, the two brothers became bolder after just two days. They sneaked out to play, got wet, changed their clothes, and secretly took them to the kitchen to dry them. They were even proud that Mu Jingheng bought them an identical set of clothes when he bought household items. They went out for two days before they were caught.
The county exam was only two days away, and Mu Jingheng had no time to educate his children. He took half an hour to let the two brothers recite a poem, and then gave them paper and pen and asked them to imitate and copy it.
There are tasks to do every day, and you are not allowed to eat dinner if you don’t finish them!
My sister and brother-in-law seem to have a good temper but they are actually very fierce! After enjoying the feeling of being well-fed, who wants to be hungry and eat "pig food"?
They don’t want it anyway!
The two brothers had no choice but to stay at home and practice calligraphy.
It was time for the county examination that day. Mu Jingheng asked Yin Bao and Mu Dan'er to look after the door and take good care of their sister. As time was tight, he left in a hurry without having time to arrange homework.
The two brothers watched their brother-in-law leave with his luggage. If their sister hadn't been right next to them, they would have jumped up and cheered. Their brother-in-law wouldn't be back for three days, so they finally didn't have to write!
But unfortunately, after a few days of rest and with adequate nutrition, Qin Yunxi's sleep time began to gradually decrease. So, just because Mu Jingheng forgot didn't mean she had forgotten too!
The two brothers have been allowed to run wild in the countryside, especially the cunning Yinbao. If we don't keep him under control now, we'll definitely have headaches in the future!
She doesn't want to clean up other people's messes!
"Yinbao, Mudaner! Didn't your brother-in-law leave any homework for you?" Qin Yunxi raised a gentle fake smile.
"That's right! Mudan, the rain is lighter today, we can go out and play..." Yinbao suddenly realized that the person asking the question was her sister!
Seeing Yin Bao turn around stiffly, Qin Yunxi smiled even more happily and said, "Have you memorized those poems? Have you recognized the words correctly? Write each poem ten times a day, and let your brother-in-law check it later. If you make a mistake in one word, you will have to eat vegetable porridge for a day. If you make more than ten words, you will have to eat coarse grain porridge! You will not make any mistakes, right?"
Yinbao and Mudaner: “???!!!” What kind of devil is this? !
In fact, Mudan'er was fine. He had stayed with his sister most of the time during the day since he was a child. He could watch her embroider for half a day and was relatively able to sit still.
Yinbao is in a miserable situation. He grew up in a wild way, unloved by his father and mother. He hangs around here and there every day and hangs out with those second-rate guys. It's like his butt has nails on it when he is asked to sit down and write. It's almost killing him!
He glanced at Mudaner and asked, "Is this okay?"
"Anyone who plagiarizes or asks someone to plagiarize for them will have their punishment doubled!" Qin Yunxi seemed to see through his thoughts.
This is simply a big devil! Help!
In the following days, compared with Mudan'er's ease and Qin Yunxi's leisure and comfort, Yinbao seemed to be in dire straits.
Not only did he have to go shopping, but he also had to act like a housewife and do laundry, cooking and housekeeping. The worst thing was that after he had finally finished reciting a poem from memory, his sister suddenly appeared behind him and complained that his handwriting was too ugly and that it didn't count!
Or if he was suddenly asked how to pronounce a word, if he couldn't say it within three seconds, he would be asked to write the word fifty times!
This is even stricter than my brother-in-law's requirements. What a devil!
Eating one more bowl of rice every day cannot make up for his severely injured heart!
Poor Yinbao was angry but dared not say anything. His biggest revenge was to spend a little more money every day to buy more meat, and cook it deliciously, with a strong flavor that his sister couldn't eat.
Mudaner silently watched Yinbao committing suicide, while he himself was very well-behaved. When he heard his sister complain that Yinbao's handwriting was ugly, he slowed down and wrote the words neatly, stroke by stroke.
Qin Yunxi didn't take Yin Bao's little tricks seriously at all. No matter how talented he was in cooking, he was still a rookie and could not compare with Mu Jingheng's cooking skills!
Besides, what delicious food had she not eaten before? At worst, she could still cook for herself or go out for a feast if she was greedy, but her current physical condition was best suited to eating liquid food and soft food, so she was just too lazy to move.
As for the rookie playing tricks on her, it’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
Mu Jingheng came back early in the morning on the fourth day. Qin Yunxi knew that he could not get up, so in the evening he gave some silver to Yinbao and told him to go out and buy a hearty breakfast the next day.
But when Mu Jingheng came back from the examination hall and saw that the rain had stopped and it was a rare good day, he bought some vegetables and breakfast on the way back.
Then Yinbao, who had just gotten up and was about to go out, bumped head-on into Mu Jingheng, who was carrying a lot of bags.
Yinbao: Damn it! My brother-in-law got there first! Now I won't have anything delicious to eat and I might even get punished!
"Yinbao, has your sister been feeling unwell these days?" Seeing Yinbao standing blankly in the middle of the door, Mu Jingheng thought that Qin Yunxi's condition had relapsed in the past few days.
Yinbao came back to his senses, forced a smile and said, "Ah? Brother-in-law, you're back! I'm fine!" She was fine, so energetic that I was even more excited!
"Oh? Really? I'll go and take a look!" Mu Jingheng saw that his smile was forced and thought that something really happened. His heart tightened and his face became a little stern.
"Ah? Oh, sister hasn't woken up yet..." Yinbao's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he quickly stepped aside, unable to speak clearly.
Oh, birds of a feather flock together. This couple is one more powerful than the other! So scary!
Mu Jingheng threw the things he bought into Yin Bao's arms and walked quickly towards the room. Unfortunately, Qin Yunxi had left the lock unlocked, so he had to climb in through the window. He had experience in this.
Yinbao took the things in a hurry and looked at his brother-in-law's operation in amazement. Why does this, this, this look so skillful?
Mu Jingheng sat down on the bed and realized that he was cold. He hadn't changed clothes for a few days and the position of the county exam was a bit difficult to describe...
He quickly stood up and took two steps back. After observing Qin Yunxi for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he looked OK and hadn't lost any weight.
