Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

Ye Ziyu returned to the front garden, "Ayu, how are you? Do you feel better?" Ye Qingyin saw Ye Ziyu coming back.

Ye Ziyu: Seeing such a bad thing, it seems even worse...

"Well, is mother feeling better?" Although Jiang Xu's health had improved a lot in the past six months, he would easily become short of breath when his emotions fluctuated too much.

"Much better. Madam Ling is there with Mom. Ayu, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for acting like that just now. I know it was all for my own good."

"You are my elder sister. If I don't think about you, who should I think about? Let's go. We haven't even started to properly visit the Spring Banquet, and we have encountered such a terrible thing."

"Okay, a new round of performances has just started over there, let's go take a look." Ye Qingyin pulled Ye Ziyu and walked towards the direction of the performance.

"But why haven't I seen Aqing for so long? Could she have run away secretly again?" Ye Ziyu said.

Just as Ye Ziyu had guessed, Ling Bingqing and Tao Ling arrived at the Spring Banquet first. After waiting for a while and not seeing Ye Ziyu and Ye Qingyin, nor seeing Liu Zhizhi, Ling Bingqing went to watch the performance by herself. As she was watching, she saw someone she used to spar with, so she ran over to say hello. Then, she heard that they were setting up a stage again, so Ling Bingqing thought about it and followed them.

Mrs. Ling, who hadn't seen Ling Bingqing all morning, later learned that Ling Bingqing had gone out to spar with others again. She went back home and scolded Ling Bingqing, then put her in solitary confinement (this is a story for later).

"Eldest sister, third sister." After Ye Ziyu and Ye Qingyin arrived at the place where they were watching the performance, Ye Xinhe walked over.

Ye Ziyu glanced at her and found that Ye Xinhe was still wearing earrings on her ears. They were indeed the ones Ye Ziyu had given her at that time. She then glanced at the hem of Ye Xinhe's skirt and found it was light blue.

Ye Ziyu: Wasn’t she the one who was with Lin Yun just now?

Ye Qingyin took a look after hearing this and pulled Ye Ziyu away.

"Hey, sister, why are you leaving as soon as you see us?" Ye Xinhe spoke again.

"I'm enjoying the show and don't want to be spoiled by others." Ye Qingyin said coldly.

"Why does elder sister always seem hostile to me?" Ye Xinhe asked. Ye Xinhe's voice was loud and some people around looked over.

Ye Ziyu held Ye Qingyin back and stopped her from speaking. "It seems like you are hostile to my elder sister. Otherwise, why would you think my elder sister is hostile to you? How you think others treat you is actually how you treat others. Don't make assumptions about others."

After saying that, Ye Ziyu took Ye Qingyin away and went to the other side to watch the performance. Ye Xinhe and others did not catch up, so Ye Ziyu stopped.

"Ayu, why did you pull me away without letting me speak just now? Otherwise, I would have said something to her."

"She is just waiting for you to say something about her. Doesn't she know how much you dislike her in the mansion and how harshly you always speak to her? She came here on purpose to be criticized by you, just to let the people around you see that you treat your sisters badly."

"Just see it, I don't like them anyway."

"Forget it. Your uncle and the others just had that incident today, and Ye Xinhe came up to me eagerly to get scolded. I feel like things shouldn't be that simple." Ye Ziyu didn't know if she had read too many novels about domestic intrigues, but she felt that these things happened so coincidentally that something must be wrong.

Ye Ziyu looked at the place where she had just been, and there was no trace of Ye Xinhe. 'And the person who was with Lin Yun just now, was she really her?'

"Ayin, Ayu." Liu Zhizhi came over.

"Zhizhi, why are you here so late?"

"Just this morning, Qingshui Sou delivered an order. The quantity wasn't large, but it was urgent, so I finished that one first." Liu Zhizhi said with a smile.

"Where is your mother?" Ye Ziyu looked over at Jiang Xu and saw that there was no sign of Madam Liu.

"As soon as my mother arrived, she was pulled away by other ladies to chat. But it's strange that those ladies were not familiar with my mother. But recently they seem to be very familiar with her and often ask my mother out shopping."

Liu Zhizhi felt it was strange, but Madam Liu was already annoyed. In recent days, those ladies always dragged her out or visited them. In order for Master Liu to have good relations with people in the court, she was also forced to make friends with them. The key point was that she didn't understand what those ladies said and couldn't get a word in, but they insisted on asking her.

"It's hard for Madam Liu too." Ye Ziyu said.

"But this also shows that your father should be highly valued by the emperor, but it is impossible to make friends with other officials in your father's place, so he let his wife make friends with your mother, so as to make friends with the Liu family at the same time." Ye Qingyin said.

"Then should I remind my mother that since my father doesn't get along well with others, my mother should also be careful." Liu Zhizhi asked.

"Does your father know about this situation?"

Liu Zhizhi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. My father has been very busy recently, often leaving early and returning late. My mother didn't want to bother my father with these things, so she didn't tell him."

"I think we should tell your father about this matter, and then we can discuss how to deal with it together." Ye Qingyin suggested.

"Well, then I'll go back and talk to my mother. I didn't expect that after my father got promoted, there would be so many trivial matters." Liu Zhizhi sighed.

"That's right. The higher your official position, the more people will want to get in touch with you, and naturally there will be more trivial matters. You just have to be more careful in the future and don't fall into other people's traps." Ye Qingyin said.

"Okay, got it. I'll remind my dad."

"Speaking of orders, have you had a lot of orders recently?" After the New Year, Ye Ziyu handed over the ordering matter to Qingshui Tea House, which was responsible for collecting orders and delivering goods.

“Sometimes there are so many that we can’t handle them all.”

Ye Ziyu thought about it and said, "Then let's open a shop, and then find some girls from poor families to learn from us. This will not only solve the problem of too many orders, but also help them make a living, which is mutually beneficial."

"Sure, it's not difficult to make pastries. If you are diligent, you can make a lot in a day." Liu Zhizhi said.

"This is a good idea. I heard that a group of refugees came to the capital recently. We can find some reliable women among them." Ye Qingyin said.

"Refugees? I've never heard of any disaster happening there, so how could there be refugees?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"I heard that there was a collapse and heavy rain in Liangzhou, and many people died. The court sent people to provide disaster relief, but many people are still gathering in the capital." Ye Qingyin replied.

"Where are the refugees?" Liu Zhizhi asked.

"The north of the city, there are mostly poor families in the north of the city, so the refugees can only enter through the north gate of the city, so naturally they all gather in the north of the city." Ye Qingyin replied.

"Then let's go to the north of the city tomorrow and select some suitable candidates." Ye Ziyu decided.

Ye Ziyu did not expect that so many people would become refugees and rush to Beijing because of the collapse and heavy rain. She always thought that only when a war broke out and people became homeless would they walk to other places and become refugees in order to escape the war.

"I have to accompany my mother to do something tomorrow, so I'm afraid I can't go." Liu Zhizhi said.

"I have an appointment tomorrow, how about we go another day?" Ye Qingyin said.

"It's okay, I'll go by myself." Ye Ziyu said.

"But the north of the city is different from other places. The guards there are not strict and it is a bit unsafe. Now there are so many refugees, it may be even more unsafe. Why don't we go there together another day so that we can take care of each other." Ye Qingyin said.

"Let's do it tomorrow. I want to get this done quickly. Don't worry, Yifeng will protect me, so nothing will happen. I won't stay there for long. I will just select a few people and leave." Ye Ziyu comforted.

"Okay then." Ye Qingyin knew Ye Ziyu's personality. It was difficult to change what she had decided.

Suddenly, Ye Qingyin seemed to think of something, "Should I tell Ah Qing about opening a shop? After all, there were four of us together at that time."

"I want to tell Ah Qing, but it's strange that I haven't seen Ah Qing all morning." Ye Ziyu said, "I'll send someone to talk to her this afternoon."

"Then ask Aqing if she is free tomorrow. If she is, let Aqing go with you." Ye Qingyin said. After all, Ling Bingqing knows martial arts, so if there is anything that Yifeng cannot provide close protection for, Ling Bingqing can do it.

Ye Ziyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to ask her this afternoon. If she's free, I'll ask her to accompany me tomorrow."

"Uh-huh."
