Chapter 204 Bandit Gene
Since I got so many jewelry from the eldest princess, I have to give her some gifts in return.
Speaking of which, the old lady and Yun Xi went to the princess's mansion, saying that they were going to repay the princess's favor. In the end, she didn't know that the old lady's favor had not been repaid yet. She seemed to remember that her mother-in-law went there empty-handed yesterday...
Now, she owes someone a favor to some extent.
What should I give her? Forget about jewelry. The princess had so many jewelry that she was dazzled.
To be honest, she felt embarrassed and happy when she saw the boy snatching things. Later, it was the remaining values that reminded her to take action and stop the boy's robbery.
It’s better to give something from your own family as a gift, as long as the thought is there.
Strawberries are out of season now, so I'll just send two bottles of strawberry jam. These are the last batch of strawberries, and they don't taste good enough when eaten directly, so Yun Xi asked someone to make some strawberry jam. She can send two jars of the fruit wine she brewed herself.
She asked someone to prepare the things and said to Lele, "Son, let's go to your grandmother and ask her if she has anything for the princess. Let's have someone take it over."
After the old lady knew Yun Xi's purpose, she smiled and said, "I really didn't prepare anything. The princess and I are used to being casual and never thought about this. You are right. You should send her something. By the way, ask her if she feels bad after we leave. Haha."
Yun Xi: "..."
Has her mother-in-law developed some extraordinary attributes?
The old lady called Madam Qian and instructed her, "Take Chunyu with you. She has never been there alone before. Take her to meet some people, so that it will be convenient for her to move around in the future."
The nanny agreed and left with Chunyu.
Yun Xi: "..."
So you don't want to give something?
The old lady seemed to understand her thoughts and said, "I won't give her anything. She has so many good things that she doesn't need me. Besides, if I don't take her things, it will be considered a gift to her."
Yun Xi was stunned. She had found the source of Le Le's bandit nature.
When Chunyu came back, he also brought a return gift from the princess, which was several pieces of tribute cloth.
"The princess particularly likes the gift from the lady. This is a return gift to the lady. The princess said that she had snatched this from the emperor, and there were many of them. She told the lady not to be polite. She also told me that she particularly likes our young master, and asked the lady to take the young master out to play when she is free."
Yun Xi: "..."
Is it true that birds of a feather flock together? No wonder he can play with the old lady.
She asked, "Do you think the princess is just being polite, or does she really welcome us to come?"
Chun Yu smiled and said, "It's true. The princess also said that she has many good things, and she will show you something else next time."
Yun Xi: "..."
How stupid were people in ancient times? Pah, pah, pah, take back what I said before, how can you say that about the sponsor! This is called the tolerance of the powerful and wealthy. Because they have too much, they don’t care.
I get a little excited when I think about being able to continue to get the benefits!
After lunch, the housekeeper brought the manager of Jicui Pavilion to the house and delivered some jewelry for Yunxi to choose from.
Yun Xi thought about it and decided to test Zizi's aesthetic taste.
She picked them up one by one and asked Lele: "Do you want them?"
If the child catches it, keep it; if the child doesn’t catch it, throw it away.
As it turned out, there were some things he didn't want.
Yun Xi looked carefully and had to admit that the little guy might be born with a certain appreciation ability. His aesthetics might not be mature yet, but he only picked out good quality items. Those that were slightly inferior were eliminated by him.
The shopkeeper of Jicui Pavilion also followed suit: "Young Master has a very good eye."
Yun Xi bought all the ones that the cub picked.
Mu Sheng has already informed the housekeeper about this amount of money, and it will all be paid from the public account.
The shopkeeper made a big deal and smiled like Maitreya Buddha the whole time.
After buying it, Yun Xi put it away casually.
Lele's eyes rolled around, as if he didn't understand why she didn't wear it.
Yun Xi hugged him and said, "I just want to tell you that if I want jewelry, I can buy it myself. There's no need to rob it. But I don't like to wear it, so I bought it for you to play with. Just think about it, if I put a lot of hairpins and hairpins on my head, I would have to do a more complicated hairstyle, and I would have to keep my manners and sit upright all the time, and I wouldn't be able to play with you."
"If I play with you wearing a hairpin, the tassels will swing around and might even hit you in the face. Like this."
Yun Xi inserted a hairpin into her hair and swayed it from side to side with her head raised and lowered. The tassels swung back and forth and occasionally swept across her face.
She wanted to show Lele how inconvenient it was to wear a hairpin, but the child didn't understand her good intentions at all and thought it was fun instead.
Yun Xi: "..."
This is a bad idea. Children are like cats and like this kind of play.
Yun Xi wore the hairpin to amuse the child for a while, and only took it off when he got tired and fell asleep. Then she also threw herself on the bed.
Oh, my neck is almost broken. She has sacrificed so much for her baby.
After waking up, Zizi kept staring at her head.
Yun Xi: "...Don't even think about it. I won't use my head to tease you anymore. My neck still hurts."
The baby turned his gaze to the nanny and Chunyu, with a smile on his little face.
Chun Yu: "I remember now. I'm making new clothes for the young master. I'm almost done. I'll go and finish the work now."
Nanny: "I am making a pair of soft shoes for the young master. I will also go and get busy."
The two of them slipped away.
Yun Xi: "..."
She stretched out her finger and poked Lele's little face. "Look how scared you are. Their tolerance is too poor. I have been playing with you for half a day."
The baby can't speak yet. If he could, he would definitely say, "Is half a day so short?"
"Son, it's too boring. Let's go tomorrow and play on your grandfather's farm."
"Ah."
"If you agree, I'll talk to your dad that night. You can just play supporting role on the side."
"oh oh."
In the evening, Yun Xi brought up the old matter again and told Mu Sheng that she was going to stay at the farm for a few days.
Mu Sheng: “…”
Haven’t you forgotten yet?
"Xixi, I have already chosen a store today. Do you want to go and see the store tomorrow? Do you want some advice on the decoration?"
"So fast!"
"Of course, you have to do your job quickly."
"Then let's go check it out tomorrow. I bought a lot of jewelry today, and Lele picked it out. I found that he is very good at choosing. I'll let him choose the raw materials for jewelry in the future."
Mu Sheng: "...Do you still remember that we don't even have three sons yet?"
“…Some people are talented players, they don’t necessarily have to be old.”
"Okay, okay, let him choose."
"Have you thought of a name for the store? And do you have any ideas for the shopkeeper and the clerk?"
"Didn't I say I'll leave it all to you?" Yun Xi said, "These things are so troublesome, please help me think about them."
"Okay, okay, I'll help you." Mu Sheng happily accepted the task. "But you can think of a name."
"Ah."
"By the way, I met Xie Lang these two days. The teacher his family hired to teach Xie An will be idle for a while, so he asked me if we should invite him back to teach A Yan. What do you think?"
Yun Xi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know this Master."
"This teacher's surname is Liu Jie, and his character and knowledge should be good. Xie An is already 8 years old and can go to the academy, so Liu is free. Xie Lang thinks this person is a good enlightenment teacher, so he recommended him to me."
"I have no objection. If the Master comes, should we prepare a small courtyard for him to live in?"
"Don't worry about these trivial matters. I will ask the butler to do it."
Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"Ok?"
"I mean, my husband is really thoughtful."
Mu Sheng knew her laziness very well, so he didn't expose her at this moment.
"Master Liu has been teaching Ah Yan for two years. After two years, it will be time for Ah Yan to go to the academy."
"If he does a good job, let him continue to teach Lezi."
"Le Le was only two years old at that time, so it was a bit early for him to start learning."
"Learn while playing."
Neither of them was a meticulous person, and they decided on Mu Jinyan's enlightenment teacher in just a few words. In the past two years, the child had studied with Mu Sheng and Mu Xuan, which was learning for fun, but now he was going to start his enlightenment class.
