Chapter 27: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (26)

At the beginning of the You hour, Mu Jingheng really brought his classmates back.

"Madam, this is Ning Liancheng, brother Ziheng; this is Cao Yu, brother Zhuo Qi; this is Ye Jinghuai, brother Wang Zhi; this is Li Hua, brother Zhong Xia."

He turned around and introduced his wife to his classmates, "This is my wife, Mu Qin Yunxi."

Ning Liancheng is the young master of Nanny Li, who was a maid who came as a dowry with Ning Li, the lady of the Ning family. Later, she became Ning Liancheng's wet nurse and housekeeper.

He was well aware of his wet nanny's temperament, and this time he came with the intention of confirming her status as a foster nanny.

But he also knew that Mu Jingheng lived in a small courtyard, and it would be inappropriate for a foreign man like him to go to someone else's house rashly, so he asked a few classmates to come along.

Ye Jinghuai is the second son of the Tongzhi of Mo Nan City. His family and the Ning family have a close relationship through marriage, and they have similar interests, so the two have a good relationship.

Out of curiosity as to why Ning Liancheng recommended Mu Jingheng, a country boy, he followed along.

As for Cao Yu and Li Hua, they were just there to keep them company.

Cao Yu was Mu Jingheng's roommate in the academy, and Li Hua was talented and had helped Mu Jingheng...

Mu Jingheng put a lot of thought into choosing these two people to accompany him.

The two men had good character, and Ning Liancheng was willing to honor them, so he agreed.

Among the four, Ning Liancheng is the dominant one and he also has the highest status. The one with the worst family background is probably Li Hua.

Mu Jingheng had talked to Qin Yunxi about this man before. At this moment, he looked pale and his student uniform was washed pale...

But Qin Yunxi did not look down on others because when she first came to this world, she had to rely on stale rice porridge to survive.

Moreover, Li Hua is poor not because he has a poor family background and he doesn't work hard. On the contrary, he is very hardworking and responsible.

His wife's health deteriorated after giving birth to a daughter, so his family asked him to divorce her and remarry. However, he and his wife were childhood sweethearts and had a deep friendship, so he refused.

Later, he found out that his family was abusing his wife and children and trying to force her to divorce him. So he brought his wife and children to Mo Nan City despite his family's opposition.

In a fit of anger, his family cut off his supply.

It was a pity. Li Hua was very confident of passing the provincial examination last time, but he became weaker because of saving money to support his family. It just so happened that there was an autumn rain during the provincial examination, and the temperature dropped sharply...

In the second half, Li Hua felt groggy due to a cold and missed the chance to become a Juren by just one point.

The two sides greeted each other, exchanged a few words, served hot tea, and Qin Yunxi took Yinbao to the kitchen again.

Mr. Xia Xiang left school early due to something, so Mu Jingheng came back earlier than usual and the dishes were not ready yet.

Besides, the dinner menu was decided by Qin Yunxi. Neither Zou Pozi nor Yin Bao had ever cooked some of the dishes, so it would be better for her to keep an eye on them.

When it comes to cooking, although she thinks she is quite good at it, the food she cooks is just average.

But she has a good mouth. Yinbao is talented in cooking, and Mrs. Zou has been studying it for decades. Anyone who follows her instructions will not make a bad dish.

All the guests were happy with the dinner. For Ning Liancheng and Ye Jinghuai, the dishes were not outstanding in terms of appearance or taste, but they were fresh.

After dinner, Mu Jingheng took several classmates to the study, sat for a while, and then sent them out.

Before leaving, Ning Liancheng pointed out Nanny Li's role as temporary godmother in front of Qin Yunxi and Nanny Li, and also stated that if Nanny Li was not satisfactory, the Mu family could send her back at any time.

Nanny Li looked dejected. At her age, it was fine for her to be the godmother of a country woman, but if she was sent back, how would she face people in the future?

Thinking that Nanny Li had given up those little thoughts, he became more attentive to Qin Yunxi in the following days.

Later, he learned that the Mu family's income mainly came from Qin Yunxi's embroidery, and that Mu Jingheng would occasionally accompany her to draw jewelry style drawings. He began to look up to the couple.

In her eyes, the Mu couple came from a poor background and had no help from their elders, but fortunately they were of one mind and supported each other and did not take any crooked paths.

The same goes for Madam Mu. Although she is a little lazy, she has excellent embroidery skills and is a generous person. She can support the family, which makes up for some of her shortcomings.

After learning about the financial situation of the Mu family, Nanny Li said disapprovingly: "Madam Mu, the world is so harsh. It's not easy for women to live in this world. How can you do whatever you want? Now that you have left the farming family and are not short of money, you should consider Mu Xiucai if not yourself, and you should also show your elegance!"

Nanny Li meant that she didn't know how long she would stay in Mo Nan City. Although she couldn't let go of her young master, she was also worried about his private property in Beijing, which she had always helped manage.

I have been away from Beijing for too long, and I am afraid that the people below me will not be dedicated, and I am even more afraid of being cannibalized.

Young Master Ning not only has brothers from the same mother, but also half brothers and a bunch of cousins.

If someone has bad intentions, there is no guarantee that the superiors will try to smooth things over.

After thinking about it, Nanny Li still felt that she was impulsive in coming to Mo Nan City. Not to mention that the young master was impatient with her discipline, it was not a wise move to abandon the mess in Beijing.

By staying in Beijing, she could not only help the young master manage his private property, but also show her face in front of the lady and say more good things about the young master. The lady would also always pay more attention to the young master.

Alas, what a mistake!

Qin Yunxi also knew that Nanny Li was doing this for her own good, and they had been getting along with each other sincerely during this period of time.

Not to mention that Nanny Li from Yinbao's braised food shop gave them a lot of advice and helped them avoid a lot of detours, Nanny Li also gave a lot of pointers on the birthday gift embroidery job that Qin Yunxi took on.

At night, Qin Yunxi discussed it with Mu Jingheng. Mu Jingheng still felt that he did not need a servant boy at the moment, but his wife should indeed have a maid.

Not to mention when Nanny Li and the others would return to Kyoto, Yinbao was busy with his braised meat shop all day long, and Mrs. Zou was a hired servant. There was no one at home to look after his little wife, and he was always feeling uneasy.

A young and beautiful wife is alone at home. Even though the security in the area where she lives has always been good, she can't help but worry about criminals taking risks.

After the couple reached an agreement, the next day Qin Yunxi took Nanny Li out to find a middleman to buy the maid.

Since Nanny Li is willing to help her train the maid, it would naturally be better to buy her back earlier.

The middleman took them to the brokerage firm, and Nanny Li began to teach Qin Yunxi how to choose people.

Seeing that Nanny Li was an expert, the middleman quietly stepped aside and no longer had the idea of ​​stepping forward to embarrass himself.

Finally, Qin Yunxi and her friends chose an eleven-year-old maid named Chun Xing.

Chun Xing was raised as a maid for the eldest daughter of a wealthy family in Mo Nan City. She entered the mansion at the age of eight. After three years of training, when she was about to be sent to the young lady, the wealthy family got into trouble, and they spent most of their wealth and sold most of their slaves, and hurriedly moved to another place.

Such a person has both good and bad sides, but Nanny Li felt that Qin Yunxi could handle her. Qin Yunxi didn't feel uncomfortable looking at Chun Xing, so she decided to choose her.

Most families would only keep their maids until they were eighteen years old, or at most twenty. If the master of the house took a fancy to them, they would be assigned to be the housekeeper, and then promoted to the position of housekeeper nanny.

The others are usually married off, which is also another form of selling.

Kind-hearted families would set a very low price and let the women redeem themselves or ask their families to pay money to pick them up.

Because these maids usually signed death agreements, it was not uncommon for them to die alone in the mansion of a mean family and then be wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave.

Mu Jingheng did not plan to take part in the provincial examination this autumn. The provincial examination was held every three years. Even if Mu Jingheng was unlucky and failed the examination three years later, he should be able to pass it six years later.

They will then move to Kyoto.

Chun Xing is eleven this year and will be seventeen in six years. It depends on how the Mu family develops by then. If it develops well without any accidents, Chun Xing will become the managing nanny of the inner courtyard.

Even if she is mediocre, there will be enough time to train the newly bought maid before Chun Xing is released.

Of course, the premise is that Chun Xing did not betray her master and her character did not go wrong during this period.

Perhaps Nanny Li was in a hurry to return to Kyoto, and before that she wanted to perfectly complete the task assigned by the young master. In the following days, she became much stricter with Qin Yunxi, and even took out the ruler. Qin Yunxi began to be beaten.

Even Yinbao began to tremble in fear, and he wished he could pack his luggage and stay over there.

But Nanny Li would talk to them about business from time to time, and Yinbao didn't want to miss the opportunity to absorb business knowledge, so he felt both sad and happy.

When he was in the countryside, Yinbao just wanted to have enough food to eat. When he arrived in Qingteng County, he thought about not being abandoned. Then when he went to Mo Nanchu, he thought about finding a job to save some money to get married and have children.

It was not until Nanny Li came that his ambitions and desires were aroused.

He thought that his brother-in-law would not only pass the imperial examination but also take the imperial examination to become an official. As his brother-in-law, he couldn't just be so useless as to just have enough food and clothing!

In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.

Nanny Li has returned to Kyoto, and Yinbao's braised meat shop is also back on track.

Qin Yunxi's embroidery work has also been completed.
