The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

Yunxiu shrank her neck and bit her lip, saying, "Mother, I'm jealous of my second sister. Ever since she came to our house, you've been thinking of her whenever something good happens, and you don't seem to care about me anymore."

Chu Wanqing paused for a moment, then softened her tone, trying to show a kind smile: "You silly girl, is this something to be jealous of? You've been by my side for over ten years, eating and using the best of everything. Jin'er has only been here a few days. You have a father and mother who love you, but Jin'er's parents are gone. Shouldn't your mother treat her better? Not only should your mother treat Jin'er well, but you should treat Jin'er even better too."

Yunxiu said awkwardly, "Mother is right, I was just joking with my second sister."

Seeing that Chu Wanqing had softened her tone, I stopped pursuing the matter: "Alright, sit down and eat."

Because of this little incident, the meal was eaten in peace and quiet.

After the meal, Yun Jin and Chu Wanqing exchanged a glance. Seeing Chu Wanqing nod slightly, Yun Jin got up and walked out.

Seeing her leave, Yunxiu quickly followed, took two quick steps forward, and took her hand: "Second sister, Mother said I should treat you especially well. Come on, let me teach you to play the zither."

Yun Jin calmly brushed her hand away and said indifferently, "No need, sister. I don't have that talent, and no matter how much I practice, I can't catch up with you in the slightest. I won't humiliate myself. I'll go back to doing needlework."

Yunxiu curled her lip, her tone somewhat condescending: "Sister, now that you've entered the Yun family, you should learn from the noble ladies of the capital. The noble ladies of the capital learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; needlework is just about as good as they think."

Yun Jin smiled, neither humble nor arrogant: "No matter how hard I try, I can't learn the manners of noble ladies in the capital, so I won't force it."

Having said that, he turned and walked quickly toward his own courtyard with Chunxi.

Yunxiu stood there, watching her back, her brows gradually furrowing.

"Mother-in-law," she whispered to Granny Qi beside her, "I have a feeling that Mother and she are having a secret?"

Granny Qi also had her own doubts: "If Miss is worried, this old servant will have someone keep an eye on things."

Yunxiu nodded: "Be careful, don't let anyone find out."

Granny Qi agreed, and the two of them returned to Xuezhai one after the other while talking.

……

Yun Jin returned to Jinshu Pavilion and hurriedly called Qiu Yi: "Are the cotton-padded trousers ready? Bring them here so I can wear them; it's too cold today."

Qiuyi's needlework was the best in Jinshuge, so Yunjin described the design of modern cotton trousers to her. Qiuyi made a pair according to her instructions. She stayed up half the night last night, and this morning she was still missing the waistband.

Qiu Yi smiled and handed over the finished cotton-padded trousers: "Alright, Miss, try them on quickly."

Yun Jin took it, went into the inner room, took off her outer pants, put on the cotton trousers, and immediately felt much warmer.

She couldn't understand why, in all the novels she had read in modern times, none of the time travelers made such practical cotton trousers.

Did the author simply forget, or did they feel that winters in ancient times weren't cold enough?

She only realized after she traveled through time that ancient cotton trousers were made to be very loose, large, and thin.

Those daughters of wealthy families would rather freeze than wear bulky clothes.

But she didn't want to. There were clearly ways to avoid freezing, so why did she have to suffer for the sake of beauty?

Wearing cotton trousers and a skirt over them, she came out and asked the group, "How is it? Do I look bulky?"

After looking at it, the group exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, we couldn't tell at all!"

Yun Jin smiled and said, "You should all make these too. They're really warm. Tell Aunt Qinghe to make some for Mother as well."

Chunxi laughed and said, "Miss, how do you have so many clever ideas? That pair of briefs you made before was really comfortable to wear. Before..." She blushed, "Before, if I spent a long time in the toilet, my butt would be sore from the cold when I came out."

His words made everyone burst into laughter.

After laughing, Yun Jin led Chun happy out of the mansion through the side gate and headed straight for the east of the city.

The carriage stopped in front of Juxian Pavilion. Yun Jin got out and walked inside. Upon seeing a waiter, she asked, "Is Uncle Lan Qi here?"

The waiter recognized her and quickly said, "Miss, you've arrived. The owner is on the second floor; I'll take you up."

Lan Qi was doing accounts when he saw Yun Jin come in. He put down his abacus and said with a smile, "Jin'er is here? Please have a seat."

Yun Jin sat down opposite him and, without beating around the bush, said directly, "Uncle, I want to start a business, and my mother sent me to find you."

Lan Qi paused, holding his teacup, and looked up at her: "Doing business? What kind of business would a young lady like you do? Didn't your maternal grandmother give you a few shops? If you don't understand anything about running them, you can ask your uncle."

Yun Jin shook her head: "Uncle, the shop my grandmother gave me barely earns me some pocket money. I want to do big business and become a wealthy businesswoman like you. I'd like to ask you for some advice."

Lan Qi put down his teacup, leaned back in his chair, looked her up and down, and laughed: "You silly girl, do you know that if you go into business, you'll have a hard time finding a husband in the future?"

Yun Jin laughed and said, "If I can't find someone, I won't look for one. Uncle, if I were to find someone like Yun Heting, like my mother did, I'd rather be an old maid for the rest of my life. I don't believe that a woman should spend her whole life with her husband and children. I also want to have my own career. I can't enter the court, so I'll go into business. I want to have the means to make a living, so that if one day my mother leaves Yun Heting, I can still accompany her and live a peaceful life."

Lan Qi looked at her for a while, then nodded and said seriously, "Alright, your uncle will teach you. First, tell me what your thoughts are?"

Yun Jin thought for a moment: "I want to make money from the rich. Men are afraid of death, and women are afraid of aging and becoming ugly. Uncle, if I could make something that slows down aging for both men and women and makes women more beautiful, do you think it would sell?"

Lan Qi's eyes lit up: "You can really make something like this?"

Yun Jin nodded confidently: "Of course. I wonder if my cousin has heard of those new hair growth products from Weicaotang?"

Lan Qi stared at her blankly: "Did you make that?"

Yun Jin nodded: "Exactly."

Lan Qi said in surprise, "I didn't expect that! I bought those things and had people try them, and they really worked. That's a very profitable business."

Yun Jin said, "That was just the beginning; I want to do something else."

Lan Qi became interested: "What else do you want to do?"

Yun Jin smiled and said, "Uncle, actually I can make many different things, such as high-quality skincare products that can remove blemishes and reduce wrinkles. I can also make some special dishes and desserts, and I know some special jewelry-making techniques. I can also..."

Lan Qi suddenly interrupted her excitedly: "You can cook?"

Yun Jin smiled and said, "To be precise, there are some things I only know roughly what they are like. How to do them specifically depends on the master's skills."

Lan Qi's eyes lit up, and he pulled her outside, saying, "Come on, let's try it in the kitchen!"
