Did the third place winner regret it today?

Chapter 61

Yin Shi slept very comfortably.
In the morning, I had breakfast alone, full of energy: "Let's go."
In the end, Kui'er didn't have to take care of the two pots of orchids herself.
In the past, in the Yin family, Yin Shi had only three maids, one big, one medium and one small. Although they were responsible for the house and the outside, as well as the clothes and money boxes, many tasks were done by everyone together.
Especially Kui'er, who had worked her way up from a servant girl to a personal maid, was diligent and did not just watch the oil bottle fall over and call for help just because of her high rank.
The atmosphere in Yin Shi’s courtyard has always been good.

But now, there are a large group of maids in Jingrong Courtyard. How could Luyan Hexin bear to watch the young lady's personal maid roll up her sleeves to carry such a heavy pot of flowers, and walk all the way to the lady with difficulty?
If the lady saw this, she would think that they were bullying the people of Huaixi, which would be a great injustice.

Although Luyan Hexin did not move the flowers herself, they arranged for someone to do it. Among the maids, there were two strong and sturdy maids who were specially selected to carry the flowers and follow them all the way.

Kuier was very depressed.
Yin Shi knew what was wrong with her. In Huaixi, she was considered a capable and hardworking person. Although her handwriting was a little ugly, she could write and calculate. However, when she arrived in the capital, she was outshined by Lu Yan and He Xin.
There is a gap, it's uncomfortable.

"Keep calm." Yin Shi said, "This is the capital city."
"My uncle is only a fourth-rank official. If he were a wealthy family, not to mention you, I probably wouldn't be able to compare with his maid."
"So why do you have to compare? Just do your job well."
"I think you're doing fine these days."

He then asked how Yunjuan was doing.
Yunjuan's child is still young. In the first two days after entering the mansion, there were too many boxes and cages, and it was too busy, so she was called in to help. These days, it is not so busy, so she was not called in, and she was allowed to nurse the child well.
"Ying'er said that Mrs. Baojin came in yesterday to take a look, and then went back after seeing that nothing was wrong."
"Well, tell her and the people outside not to worry. My brother and the others haven't left yet, so we have to arrange things one by one."

Including Yun Juan and Bao Jin, she has two companions in total, and now the Shen family has settled them down first. There is no job for the time being, so she is waiting for Yin Shi to arrange it.
Not in a hurry.
It has only been seven days since Yin Shi got married. She is still adapting, and they have to adapt too.

As they were talking, they arrived at Madam Shen's place. Yin Shi took out two pots of orchids and presented them as treasures: "One for father, and one for aunt."
Now she calls Lord Shen and Madam Shen separately. Aunt is always closer than mother-in-law.
Madam Shen said happily, "This flower is well-groomed. Your father-in-law will definitely like it."

The two talked about some things about growing flowers, and when they were almost done Yin Shi stood up and left.
If you have something to talk about, don’t talk for too long or you’ll make others tired.
Life in the inner house is like this, women keep each other company. Or in fact, from a purely life perspective, the mother-in-law is more important than the husband.
She might not even see Shen Ti for several days, but she had to see Mrs. Shen every day.

Mrs. Shen was also very happy to see her.
"She has something to talk about every day. Look at her, she never makes people feel bored." Mrs. Shen said to Mother Qin.
Mother Qin said, "Of course, we are from the same place. It is only because I married the young lady that I can live like this."

These words made Mrs. Shen involuntarily imagine the days of marrying Feng Luoyi as her daughter-in-law...
It shouldn't be bad, but anyway, it won't be as easy as getting along with Yin Shi, where everyone is comfortable. Because she has to remain "Mrs. Shen" in front of Feng Luoyi, but she can relax and just be "Aunt of the Huaixi Yin family" in front of Yin Shi, without having to be pretentious.

Yin Shi returned to Jingrongyuan, and Lu Yan reported: "Changchuan came over and said that Hanlin also wants to accompany his uncles today, but he will come back here in the evening."
The corners of Yin Shi's mouth twitched.
Is this guy going to balance it all night long?
There is no need to do that. She slept well last night. I think he slept well too. In fact, we should discipline the maids strictly and make them keep their mouths shut. There is no need to do this.

"Thank you for his hard work." Yin Shi said.
The most tiring thing is to accompany relatives to visit tourist spots in the city where you live, which you have visited hundreds of times. It is tiring and boring.

She asked Kui'er to take two taels of silver and give it to Pu'er: "Give one tael to Bao Jin's family and Wang Baogui's family. They both have families to support. See if they need anything, and go buy them yourself."
Pu'er took the silver and left.

A maid was found in the courtyard to lead the way and took Pu'er to the servants' living area.
Yunjuan's husband Baojin's surname was Zhao, so he was called Zhao Baojin. Pu'er thought it rhymed with another chambermaid, Wang Baogui.
When Pu'er went there, Yunjuan was breastfeeding her baby. Pu'er pinched the baby's feet and conveyed Yin Shi's words to her.

Yun Juan said: "Give so much!"
Pu Er said, "The young lady said that the prices in the capital are higher, and she also asked if you need anything, so you can go inside and tell her."
"I know." Yun Juan said, "There's nothing we need right now. As soon as we arrived, the Shen family's stewards arranged everything. The bedding and supplies are all there, nothing is missing."
Pu Er said: "It must have been arranged by Mother Qin."

Yunjuan asked about what had happened in the inner courtyard in the past two days.
Pu Er pursed her lips and whispered to her, "Hanlin and that concubine have consummated their marriage. Our aunt... no, our young lady is not in a hurry at all. Sister Kui Er is so angry that she is dying."
Yun Juan sighed, "She is just like that. You can say she is steady and balanced, which is nice. To put it bluntly, she is dull. When other girls are fighting for something with cross eyes, she just watches with a smile. Alas..."

Pu Er asked, "Where is Brother Bao Jin?"
Yun Juanjuan said: "Uncle Baogui asked him to go out."
Pu'er talked to Yunjuan for a while and then went back to the main room.

Wang Baogui's family and Yun Juan's family were arranged to live in the same yard.
His family had many children, two sons and one daughter, so the Shen family's steward arranged the main house for him. The main house had three rooms and two side rooms.
Yun Juan and Zhao Baojin only had a baby, a family of three. The Shen family steward gave them the west wing.

For the time being, there were only their two families in the yard, and no other families were accommodated. The east wing was temporarily empty, but locked.
This is also due to the stewards' experience. Although no other servants have been arranged to live in the house for the time being, if the house is not locked, it is very easy for someone to occupy it. When new people come and need to be assigned a house, they have to drive out the person occupying the house to make room, which is another troublesome matter.

Pu Er went to the main house and gave the other two taels of silver to Wang Baogui's family. Wang Baogui's family was very happy.
Pu Er asked her, "Where is Uncle Baogui?"
Wang Baogui's wife said, "He said he had nothing to do anyway, so he took Baojin and our two kids to look at our shop and house."

When a poor girl gets married, two rulers, a silver bracelet, and a box with copper corners may be her entire dowry.
When a rich girl gets married, she has land, a house, silver and a shop.
Yin Shi's dowry included a mulberry garden and 100 mu of paddy fields in Huaixi. The Yin family managed these and delivered them every year. However, the income from the mulberry garden went to the Shen family, and only the income from the paddy fields was delivered to her.
In the capital, she owned 100 mu of dry land in the capital, a small house with two courtyards on Huaishu Street, and a shop on Changkou Street and Chang'an Gate. All of these were hers. The land produced, and the house and shop could be rented out. They were all promising and could make money.
But these things have to be taken care of by someone, and that's what the companion roommate does.

In Jingrong Courtyard, Yin Shi took Kui'er and Ying'er to continue unpacking boxes and cages. Pu'er came back and rolled up his sleeves to help.
Since they were all Yin Shi's things, the maids in Jingrongyuan only helped out and contributed some effort. As for how to dispose of them, they had to listen to Yin Shi and Kui'er.

On the seventh day after their wedding, Yin Shi and his companions finally finished dismantling, putting away, and logging in all the boxes and cages.
really not easy.
This was actually a big move for Yin Shi. Living with her husband meant moving from her mother's home to her husband's home.
Moving is always exhausting.

Kui'er writes very carefully.
Yin Shi mocked her: "I asked you to practice before, but who said that practicing would be useless?"
Kui Er blushed with anger: "It was useless then, but it is useful now."
The books in Shen Ti's small warehouse managed by Lu Yan and He Xin had handwriting that was a hundred times better than Kui'er's ugly handwriting and was completely crushed.
Not wanting to bring shame to Huaixi Yin family, Kui'er finally made up her mind to practice calligraphy well.

Yin Shi sat down to drink tea and asked about the situation at Pu'er Yunjuan's place.
Pu Er said, "The house is quite good, there is nothing wrong with it, it is very tidy."
Yin Shi asked him if he had seen Wang Baogui and Zhao Baojin.
Pu Er told her: "The men are all out. They said they were going to see our house and shop."

Yin Shi became interested: "Who wants to see it?"
Pu Er thought for a moment and said, "It should be Uncle Baogui."
"How did you know?"
"Aunt Baogui said that Uncle Baogui took them there. Sister Baojin said that Uncle Baogui asked Brother Baojin to go there."

Yin Shi was more familiar with Zhao Baojin. Although he had never seen him, he had heard Yun Juan talk about him more or less.
But she was completely unfamiliar with Wang Baogui.
This was an employee assigned to her by Chairman Yin. Although she knew that Old Master Yin was the smartest person in the Yin family and would definitely not cheat her, she and Wang Baogui had too few opportunities to meet and they still needed to get to know each other.
Now listening to the information brought back by Pu'er, Yin Shi nodded slightly.

Although he was tired in the morning, he finally finished the most trivial tasks, and Yin Shi completely took root in Jingrongyuan.
After lunch, I took a nap. I woke up halfway and heard some noise outside the tent. I rubbed my eyes, got out of bed, opened the tent and saw that Shen Ti was back.

Yin Shi was surprised: "Why did you come back so early?"
Her eyes are round.
Maybe he wasn't fully awake yet, so he wasn't lying when he spoke, but the tone... was obviously not welcoming to him.
Shen Ti almost laughed out of anger.

He glanced at her and said, "There's eye boogers."
Yin Shi rubbed his eyes and said, "Nonsense, how could that be possible? You are lying."
When I opened my eyes, the liar had already walked around the screen and entered the bathroom.
"Shen Ti!"

I've heard mothers say before that children grow up fast and change every day. Yin Shi has never been a mother, so she didn't feel anything when she heard this before.
But now, she empathized deeply.
Ever since Shen Ti lost his virginity, he has been changing every day.
His awe of his "sister" seemed to fade day by day, and he became more and more eager to be the one in control between the two of them.

Yin Shi felt inexplicably lost.
My younger brother is so innocent and easy to please before he has sex.
She thought that state could be maintained for at least half a year or a year, but she didn't expect that he would make great strides forward.

Shen Ti washed her face with water in the bathroom, took the towel handed to her by He Xin, and washed her face and hands.
Last night at Feng Luoyi's place, he had vaguely thought that Feng Luoyi and Yin Shi were very different. But at that time, the atmosphere between him and Feng Luoyi was just right, and they were in love, so he didn't think deeply about what made him feel different.

But just now, he figured it out.
When he went there yesterday, it was already dark, but Feng Luoyi's head, face and body were all exquisite, not a single detail out of place.
And Yin Shi...look at her with her hair loose and askew, her collar open, and the way she stretched and yawned.
Feng Luoyi cares about him, very much.
Yin Shi...from the Yin family to the Shen family, it was as if she had just changed the place to eat. She really didn't care about her husband.
