Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
Yu Jiao took out three hundred taels from the medical fee and gave them to Yu Fuling. Yu Fuling was very happy and said that she wanted to write a letter home in the evening. Yu Jiao saw that she had written two letters, one to Aunt Song and the others, saying that she had arrived in the capital to see Yu Qizhe and that everything was fine there, so they should not worry.
Finally, it was also mentioned that Yu Jiao had already recognized her relatives and her family treated her very well.
The other one was written to Zhao Yu. When Yu Jiao saw Yu Fuling writing to Zhao Yu with a smile on her face and unspeakable affection in her eyes, she walked away a little without reading the contents of the letter.
After Yu Fuling finished writing the two letters, Yu Jiao also picked up her pen to write two letters. One was sent to Liu Sanniang, she was mainly concerned about Fei Ge'er, and the other was sent to Zhiyun County to inquire whether the development of the stationery was going smoothly.
The next day, Yu Jiao brought Yu Fuling and Shen Wan to the Wu family again. Mrs. Wu's sutured abdominal wound showed no signs of inflammation. Yu Jiao prescribed a lipid-lowering prescription and asked Mrs. Wu to take the medicine after she recovered.
Because she was going to see a doctor at the Wu family, Yu Fuling stayed in the Liu Mansion for another two days. After the Wu family's matter was settled, Yu Fuling moved to Kanjing Hutong to live with Yu Qizhe. Yu Jiao would occasionally go over to have lunch with them, but she didn't stay long each time because she was afraid of disturbing Yu Qizhe's studies.
It is now the twelfth lunar month, the weather is getting colder, and there is white breath coming out of my mouth. The Spring Examination will be held in February after the New Year, and there are less than three months left. At this critical juncture, Yu Jiao does not want Yu Qizhe to be distracted because of her.
The imperial examinations in ancient times were more difficult than those in other worlds. Many people say that the college entrance examination is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. However, the number of people who could become the top scorer in the ancient times was far beyond the reach of the top scorers in the college entrance examinations in other worlds, otherwise Fan Jin would not have been so happy about passing the examination.
She was also worried that Yu Qizhe's study had no floor heating and that he would catch a cold if he sat there reading all day. So Yu Jiao asked Li Jingcai to buy some silver-powder charcoal and send it to the courtyard in Kanjing Hutong, and asked Mrs. Song to light a charcoal basin in the study.
Liu Yaoyu came to see Yu Jiao several times, saying that she wanted to take her for a stroll and invite Song Yirong and the others along. Yu Jiao made up an excuse to refuse, but in fact she wanted to take Yu Fuling to the street to buy things for the courtyard.
The prices in the capital were far beyond what Changkui could afford. Yu Jiao didn't know that the silver that Yu Qizhe had brought with him when he came to the capital had run out, so she secretly put a few silver bills in the book in Yu Qizhe's study.
After shopping for an afternoon, they bought several thick mattresses and had them delivered to Kanjing Hutong. Yu Jiao also bought some winter clothes for Yu Qizhe and Yu Fuling.
Yu Fuling was holding the things, feeling very embarrassed. "I have saved all the money you gave me for the consultation. These things should have been paid by me. I shouldn't have spent your money again."
Yu Jiao is no longer a member of the second branch of the Yu family. Although Yu Fuling has always regarded Yu Jiao as her sister-in-law in her heart, she has not yet married Qi Zhe. Yu Fuling privately asked Mrs. Song about the price of silver psoriasis charcoal, which is very expensive and has already cost Yu Jiao a lot of money.
"Sister, are you estranged from me?" Yu Jiao asked with a faint smile.
Yu Fuling quickly shook her head, "No, I just think I can't keep spending your money like this."
These days, she has listened to Mrs. Song talk about many things happening in the backyards of wealthy families. She has come to know that the ladies and young ladies in the backyard enjoy their glory, but they have to reward the servants with money at every turn so that the servants will work loyally. They also have to use money to bribe people when they go out. The clothes and headgear they wear are all about face.
Many wealthy families had deficits at home, and it was common for them to sell their farms and shops in order to make up for the deficits.
Yu Fuling said sincerely, "Although you have some silver in your hand, the county of Qiyun still owes Young Marquis Gu several thousand silver for setting up a workshop. You have to be frugal with your money."
"Increase income and reduce expenditure. Money cannot be saved by thriftiness. We still have to increase income." Yu Jiao said with a smile, "I have good news for you. We received a letter from Qiyun County. Yu Zhizhou and his team have developed the paper."
