Chapter 119 Tai Chi
The Second Madam looked at the First Madam and said, "Since the servants say it's effective and Yuxi herself is using it, it means it can be used without worry. Yuxi is filial and always wants to bring good things to us, and she is considerate of the servants. Why don't you ask the women's room to replace the cloth bags with cotton bags? The servants will be more efficient when they are in good health, and it will also be a favor to the First Madam."
Lin Yuxi was touched when she heard that. The Second Madam was thinking of her. Although Tingyuxuan's maids didn't make much money, it was also an expense to cover their medicine bags every month. She also had to honor several elders every month. If the money was included in the public funds, it would greatly reduce her expenses. No wonder the Second Madam asked her if the method could be passed on to others. This was her idea.
The first lady frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement after she felt it made sense. Lin Yuxi stood up and bowed to the first and second ladies: "Thank you, Madam. You are so kind and considerate to us. We will definitely be grateful to you and will serve you more attentively in the future. I have some medicine bags stored in Yuxi's room, and I will ask the servants to deliver them later. I hope you won't mind."
"How can we reject such a good thing? It is because of you that we can use such a good thing. I will not bully you. This method is yours, and I can't let you suffer. I will buy your prescription with silver, and you name the price." The eldest lady smiled faintly, and looked at Lin Yuxi with a gentle look.
Lin Yuxi waved her hands and shook her head to refuse: "No, it's just a blood-activating prescription, not a rare thing, not worth much money, and Yuxi has to collect it every month, so you don't need to give me money."
Seeing that she refused, the eldest lady did not insist and smiled and praised Lin Yuxi for her generosity and ability.
The capable daughter-in-law, the Second Lady, was very happy and turned around to tell Madam Qiu: "Go get a melon for the Second Young Madam and cool it down with cold water when you go back. It will be cooler when you eat it in the evening."
This Hami melon is also called sweet melon. After giving instructions to Mother Qiu, the Second Madam turned around and spoke to Lin Yuxi.
She looked up and saw Diwu Xufang was there too. Although she was the eldest lady's wife, she couldn't be too obviously partial, so she added that she should bring one for the eldest young lady as well. Diwu Xufang refused after hearing this, "No, I've already eaten. Second Madam, just give it to Yuxi."
The Second Madam laughed and said, "There are so many good things in your Second Madam's room. There are always fruits and vegetables in the summer. No other place in the mansion has such a complete supply. It's all thanks to Yuxi."
This means that the Second Madam first said this to Lin Yuxi, and then added a sentence to Diwu Xufang, blaming the Second Madam for being partial. Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes speechlessly. It was just a cantaloupe. What's the big deal? She is the First Madam's daughter-in-law, so they are distinguished from each other.
Besides, the First Lady is still sitting there, so it's not right for the Second Lady to go over her, right? The First Lady hasn't said anything yet, but the Second Lady spoke first. She is meddling too much. She is the Second Lady's legitimate daughter-in-law, so it's only natural that she should be biased.
The Second Madam was not someone to be trifled with. She smiled and said, "I don't think the food here is that good. If my sister-in-law likes it, I'll have someone send some more over."
Isn't that generous enough? Lin Yuxi raised her eyebrows and smiled. The maid over there cut another cantaloupe, removed the seeds, and cut it into small pieces. Lin Yuxi picked a piece and ate it without hesitation. Then she smiled and said, "Mother, this melon is really sweet. It really makes me feel a lot cooler after eating it. My husband will definitely like it."
Diwu Xufang also picked a piece and put it in her mouth. After hearing what Lin Yuxi said, she said, "Since Yuxi and Second Uncle like it, Second Mother should give Yuxi a few more."
Melons are really not a rare thing, they are sold everywhere. Second Aunt is too petty. It is just a fruit, but there is no need to be jealous about it and even involve her.
Lin Yuxi glanced at everyone with the tip of her brows and smiled faintly, "Mother has always treated everyone equally and definitely not favored anyone, but since Second Aunt and Big Sister-in-law like it, Yuxi and husband will not take it away from others. Mother, you can give my portion to Second Aunt and Big Sister-in-law, and I can ask the servants to go out and buy it."
The second wife looked at Lin Yuxi with a smile, and the first wife said, "Just accept what your mother gave you. It's just a few melon seeds. There are only a few people in your house, and you can't finish them. Even if it's not enough, there are still some in your mother's room."
The first lady glanced at the second lady, who immediately fell silent after seeing it and lowered her head to eat the melon.
"What the eldest lady said is true." Lin Yuxi responded, but she couldn't help complaining in her heart. It would have been fine if the eldest lady didn't say anything, but once she did, she attacked her. What's wrong with her being a concubine's daughter of a merchant? She didn't say anything when the second wife said that the second lady was partial to her. But she was not happy when the second lady was generous and wanted to give everyone melons. Instead, she stepped on her and said that she had little dowry and few people in the house, and couldn't compare to the ladies from their wealthy families. It was really... Alas...
She didn't know how to express it. It was true that once you enter a wealthy family, it is like entering a deep sea. She was just jumping from one muddy water into another big dye vat.
Lin Yuxi felt cheated. If she had known this, she would never have married into the family.
"You just came back, you must be exhausted, go back and have a rest." The Second Lady urged her.
Lin Yuxi got up early in the morning. She had been riding in a carriage for three hours and was indeed tired, so she followed the Second Madam's instructions and said goodbye.
When she left the house, she saw Yang Chenchuan leaning against the door beam with his eyes closed. She thought he was asleep, so she tiptoed over to him. When she was two steps away from him, he opened his eyes, his eyes were like stars, deep and full of spirit. Without waiting for her to speak, he took her hand and walked out.
On the way back to Tingyuxuan, Yang Chenchuan turned around and pinched her nose when he saw no one around. He glared at her and said, "You're going through so much trouble for a melon. Do you want to dry your husband out?"
Lin Yuxi pulled his hand down with all her strength, glared at him, and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't know you were waiting outside. I thought you had gone home earlier."
This can't be blamed on her. Who knew he didn't leave? He was waiting for her without telling her beforehand. He deserves to be exposed to the sun.
"You are my wife, so naturally I have to wait for you. Can't you use your brain to think about it, or are you doing it on purpose?" As he said this, he poked Lin Yuxi's forehead again.
She pouted and said viciously: "Which eye of yours saw that I did it on purpose? I'm not a worm in your stomach, how would I know what you are thinking?"
“Humph!” Yang Chenchuan was speechless, so he could only pull her nose and rolled his eyes at her, “If you do it again, I’ll tie you up outside and expose you to the sun for the whole afternoon.”
Lin Yuxi was not convinced. She pouted her lips and whispered as quietly as a mosquito: "If you don't tell me that you are innocent, I won't know even if you do it a hundred times."
"What did you say?" Yang Chenchuan glanced at her and snorted coldly. Lin Yuxi had forgotten that this guy had extremely good hearing. She pouted her lips and said reluctantly: "I heard it." Hearing it doesn't mean you won't forget it.
What a filthy rascal, what a damn rascal, isn't it just that his martial arts are a little better than hers? When her martial arts are better than his, I'll see if she won't take revenge on him. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years, she complained in her heart.
"Let's go. It's so hot." Yang Chenchuan complained while holding her hand. Lin Yuxi looked up and saw beads of sweat on his forehead and his collar was wet.
What an idiot! He knew he was exposed to the sun but didn't find a shady place to rest. He just stayed in the sun. He deserves it! She muttered to herself, but unconsciously quickened her pace.
