Happiness System
Chapter 16: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (5)
Qin Yunxi was worried about Mu Jingheng's return, so she didn't sleep too late.
She is now a wife, it would be nice if she doesn't want to pick up the phone but it's also not nice to ignore it and be too cold. After all, his future is related to her quality of life!
But as soon as she got up, she saw Mu Jingheng pushing the door in, and she felt a little confused. She looked at the sky and wondered if she got up late or he came back early?
Are people being "driven" out of the examination hall so early?
"My wife, are you up?" Mu Jingheng had just come back from washing up. Seeing that she got up so "early", he felt a little happy, thinking that she must value him.
"Well, Jingheng is back? It's me who got up late!" Qin Yunxi looked at him with a smile.
Mu Jingheng walked over and chuckled, "Something went wrong at the examination hall, so we let the candidates out half an hour earlier."
"Will that affect you?" Qin Yunxi paused.
Mu Jingheng raised his hand to take over the dressing action from her and said, "It's just a small matter. It won't have a big impact. It's just that the list may be announced a few days later."
Qin Yunxi understood. It was probably an investigation into fraud or something like that?
I guess it's not on a large scale, otherwise people might be trapped inside and not released early.
"Oh! The sun is out. The sky cleared up as soon as Jingheng came back from the exam. Isn't this a good sign?" Qin Yunxi was so happy when she opened the door and found that the rain had finally stopped and the sun was shining. She was almost getting moldy!
Mu Jingheng also felt that he had answered the questions smoothly, and upon hearing this, he said, "Thank you for your good wishes, madam!"
"Sister, sister, you're up! It's time to have breakfast!" Mudan'er's eyes lit up as soon as he saw them leaving the house.
He usually doesn’t wait for his sister to have breakfast, and he already bought breakfast today. But today neither his brother-in-law nor Yinbao wanted to have breakfast. He’s so hungry!
"Sister, get up! I'll get you some hot water to wash up!" Yinbao also ran out, smiling in an extremely servile manner, which looked like he was guilty.
Qin Yunxi didn't know what he was talking about, but it didn't affect her enjoyment of the service. What was wrong with eating her food, wearing her clothes and doing some work for her?
When breakfast was served, she realized that it was probably because she got up late today. Mu Jingheng left the examination room early to buy everything, fearing that she would blame him for being unreliable.
However, seeing that Mu Jingheng's eyes were bloodshot and dark circles under his eyes, she was afraid that he had a hard time in the examination hall and probably did not sleep last night, so she did not say anything.
After breakfast, she sent the two children out to play and let Mu Jingheng go to catch up on his sleep. She moved a chair to sit in the sun and started thinking.
She doesn’t know whether the road to the imperial examination is difficult or not, but it is true that it costs a lot of money!
Especially those like them who have families to support.
She has observed Mudaner these days and found that he can sit still and has some talent for studying, so he must be sent to school. As for how far he can go, it depends on himself.
As for Yinbao, at the age of fourteen he is still considered a junior high school kid in modern times, but here he is almost considered an adult, and he can get married and have children in two or three years.
And he showed no talent or interest.
Just let him serve as Mu Jingheng's servant for the time being, learn some knowledge and see the world, and we'll see what he wants to do in the future.
Now the main issue is money. Judging from the price of the embroidery sold last time, the remaining embroidery can be exchanged for three to five hundred taels of silver. This may be a lot for an ordinary family, but it is definitely a problem to support two scholars and live a poor life. But she doesn't want to!
Then you have to generate some income!
How to generate income is another problem. If I open a small shop, it will probably be hard and I can only live a similar life as now.
If they want to expand their business, capital will be a problem, but she has no talent for business and they don't have a strong backing. If they accidentally touch the interests of wealthy businessmen and big families, they will be completely wiped out!
It is not easy to get rich through business, and it is not suitable for her at the moment.
Those people who sell cookbooks in many time-travel novels are probably traveling back to the primitive times?
She does have recipes, but don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancients!
Selling recipes is not reliable!
She also needs to think about and experiment with the rest.
At present, it seems that the most reliable way to avoid spending all her savings is to continue embroidering and painting. She had specially enrolled in classes to make up for her regrets.
She felt that she was quite talented, but the embroidery thing depended on the original owner's foundation, so she didn't know if she could master it!
"Sister, Mudaner is back!"
Yinbao was afraid that he would be punished if he played too late and missed cooking, so he quietly pushed open the gate and stuck his head in to see if his sister and brother-in-law were there. He didn't expect his sister to be "in a daze" in the yard. When Yinbao was thinking about how to get in without being discovered by his sister, Mudaner crawled in from below and started shouting.
Yinbao: ??? Mudaner! You hurt me!!!
Qin Yunxi came back to his senses and looked at the sky. It was already noon!
Then she frowned again. It was very cold yesterday, but today the sun was shining brightly and it made people feel hot!
This day is indeed unusual!
"Hey, sister, I'll go cook right away!" Yinbao saw her frowning and immediately dodged away anxiously.
Mudaner also noticed that his sister was happy again, but he felt that it was not because of them, so he chattered around Qin Yunxi and told her about the interesting things they had done when they went out to play in the morning, just to make his sister happy!
Qin Yunxi pinched his little face which was beginning to grow fat and said, "Don't run so far with Yinbao next time, or you'll be caught by the beggars. They might even sell you to a black kiln to do hard labor!"
After teasing Mudaner for a few words, he stood up, patted his clothes, and called Mudaner to move the stool back into the house.
While preparing lunch, Yinbao pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside. Qin Yunxi's voice was naturally not gentle as it was for the two of them to hear. He was shocked to hear that he was working as a laborer in a black kiln. He had been in the "jianghu" before, so he naturally knew what was going on!
I was too careless. After two days of comfort, I forgot about all the bad things!
Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Their Qinghe Town is poor and Qingteng County is not very rich, so there are naturally more dark corners than anywhere else. Fortunately, nothing happened during these days with Mudaner!
Seeing Qin Yunxi come in, Yinbao was caught eavesdropping and he scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed.
Qin Yunxi poked his forehead with her finger and said, "Did you hear what I just said? If you dare to lose the wooden egg, I will sell you to a black kiln!"
"I heard you, I heard you! I promise not to take Mudaner around! I will definitely not lose Mudaner!" Yinbao almost raised three fingers to swear.
Qin Yunxi nodded without comment and did not continue the topic.
She turned around and looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, then instructed Yinbao to cook the dishes according to her requirements, giving him pointers on how to do it from time to time.
After Yinbao finished cooking the meal, he suddenly realized that it was poverty that really limited his imagination!
Seeing that Yinbao had almost finished preparing the meal, Qin Yunxi asked Mudaner to set the table and prepare for dinner. She went back to the room and called Mu Jingheng to get up.
"Jingheng, Jingheng! It's time to get up and have lunch..." Qin Yunxi was sitting beside the bed and calling out when she suddenly froze, as if he had always called her like this before.
"Madam?" Mu Jingheng's voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyes, which were usually cold and shrewd, were rarely dull and confused.
"Well, you're awake. Do you want to have dinner and then go back to sleep?" As she said this, she took the clothes from the rack beside her and handed them to him.
Mu Jingheng sat up, took the clothes, closed his eyes and pressed his temples, and when he opened his eyes again, he regained his clarity of mind.
Qin Yunxi secretly thought it was a pity.
After lunch, Mu Jingheng did not go back to sleep immediately. Instead, he asked about what had happened at home in the past few days and checked the "homework" of his two brothers-in-law.
Then, seeing that Qin Yunxi looked a little tired, he let the Yinbao brothers go and took Qin Yunxi back to the room for a nap.
He found that Qin Yunxi seemed to have recovered well in the past few days, so he took her out for a walk after her nap when the sun set. He also went to the clinic to see a doctor to see if she was ready to start eating medicated food.
Qin Yunxi started to fall ill before she arrived in Qingteng County. After renting a house and moving in, she felt listless and spent most of her sleep lying in bed.
Mu Jingheng said he wanted to take her out for a walk, and she was quite happy and it was still quite fresh.
It was her first time going shopping after “putting it on”!
She is not worried about her health. Qin Yunxi has been feeling fine these days. She doesn't know whether it is far away, but it must not be too far, otherwise Mu Jingheng would not have mentioned the clinic specifically.
If this broken body can't make it there, I can just find a teahouse or restaurant to rest for a while.
Seeing the couple go out, Yinbao immediately pulled Mudaner to follow.
Hehe, usually the amount of money my brother-in-law gives for groceries is fixed, and it’s just a few cents more each time. He and Mudaner would use it to buy buns or something, and it was all gone. It was so hard for my sister to give me a little more yesterday, but my brother-in-law came back early in the morning and I didn’t have time to spend it!
Go out with my sister and her husband. If you see something delicious, just ask Mudan to act coquettishly and my sister will definitely buy it for you!
Good opportunities can’t be missed!
Mu Jingheng and Qin Yunxi didn't mind them following them, as it would prevent the two little ones from sneaking out to play when they were not at home!
When Mudan saw that his sister didn't send them back, he happily ran up to her and took her hand, then chattered endlessly about everything he saw out of curiosity.
Qin Yunxi was quite patient. After so many days of intermittent rain, the sky finally cleared up and the streets became lively. Not only Yinbao Mudan was curious, but she was curious too!
The happiest person when going out was Yinbao. He hinted to Mudaner about the delicious food he saw, and as soon as Mudaner asked, his sister and brother-in-law really bought some!
After going to the clinic to see the doctor, Qin Yunxi's health recovered well, but the doctor suggested not to take medicine. He said that she was young and recovered quickly, so she could slowly resume her diet without having to limit herself to liquid food, but she should still focus on soft and light food.
Qin Yunxi also always felt that the original owner had developed this disease due to idleness!
Then their appetite is ruined and they eat less and eat poorly. Fifteen or sixteen years old is the time when the body grows up. If they don’t get enough nutrition and don’t like to eat, they will become sick!
I'm very happy that there is no root cause of the disease or any sequelae!
Qin Yunxi was so happy that she took them to the cloth shop and chose two sets of spring clothes for each of the three men in the family, even taking into account shoes and socks.
The weather isn’t expected to get any colder, so it’s the perfect time to buy spring clothes!
As for herself, she had plenty of clothes, and the clothes in the shop were similar in style to hers, so there was no need to buy more!
The two little ones were so happy that they went crazy. It was indeed a good life following their sister!
