Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Qi Sanniang looked at her with tears in her eyes. Du Wenxiu was now taller than her.

She had just given birth to a child and was running a business, looking like an increasingly capable woman.

This is the daughter that I tried so hard to give birth to.

Qi Sanniang lowered her head and murmured, "Just treat me like a servant..."

"Then you should just follow Zhang Yapo."

At this moment, Du Wenxiu suddenly understood Du Wenchan's bad temper in front of A Luo.

Since it is so difficult to communicate with mothers, it is more effective to use a direct approach.

"No, that's not what I meant..." Qi Sanniang explained hurriedly.

"It is God's mercy that we can see each other again. Please stop saying those nonsense."

"You gave birth to me, so I should take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life. Why did I have to ask you to come here if you said you were a servant?"

Du Wenxiu's voice was like a machine gun, and finally Qi Sanniang shut up and nodded obediently.

"My sister and I will be busy in the workshop from now on. If you can take good care of the house and not let us worry about it, it will be a great help."

Qi Sanniang nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to take good care of this family and you won't have to worry too much."

Du Wenxiu then smiled and said "hmm".

Let’s just leave it like this for now. Maybe after living together for a while, we’ll slowly know how to get along with each other.

"Sister." Du Wenchan poked her head in and looked around. Du Wenxiu couldn't help laughing.

"You're an adult, why are you still acting like this?" He waved for her to come in.

Du Wenchan laughed and walked in with a note.

"This is our new neighbor, Grandma Zhao, who sent someone to deliver the invitation. Originally, it was said that Mr. Zhao sent someone to visit us, but I said that my brother-in-law was away on a business trip and had not returned yet, so it was Grandma Zhao who sent the invitation instead."

Du Wenxiu praised her for being clever, and Du Wenchan stuck out her tongue.

The post was pink, and when Du Wenxiu opened it, the scent of pollen that hit her face made her sneeze a few times.

The words used above are extremely elegant. If we analyze it, it is nothing more than one sentence: "Seven days later, the Zhao family will hold a flower-viewing banquet. Please invite Grandma Du to come and enjoy the flowers."

Du Wenxiu and her sisters gathered together and laughed for a while, and then Du Wenxiu said, "Should we send her a reply or go to her house directly when the time comes?"

"We should write her a reply and have the concierge or the maid deliver it."

Seeing her sisters looking at each other in bewilderment, as if they did not understand such social etiquette, Qi Sanniang could not help but speak up and give them some advice.

"Aunt seems to know the rules of these wealthy families?" Du Wenchan was a little curious.

Qi Sanniang was no longer shy about it and said bluntly, "I used to work for the prefect, so I know a little bit."

Du Wenxiu wrote the invitation according to what Qi Sanniang said, saying that he would go there in three days, and asked Qiuyue to go out and reply to the invitation.

"In the future, please give us more advice on these matters, Auntie. I really don't understand the etiquette and I'm afraid I'll lose my sense of propriety and make people laugh at me."

Qi Sanniang would naturally not mention it.

Because they were going to visit guests in a few days, Qi Sanniang asked them to prepare new clothes, which made Du Wenxiu mutter:

"We used to wear the clothes we normally wear at home when we go out, but now we have to buy new clothes for a visit. How extravagant."

Du Wenchan laughed at her: "Sister wants to be a respectable person, but she thinks respectable people are troublesome. She is really hard to please."

The sisters joked for a while and it passed in half a day.

Du Wenchan wanted to give her east wing suite to Qi Sanniang, but she refused.

"Since ancient times, unmarried girls have been treated as guests at home, and they should eat well, use things well, and live well. I am half buried in the ground, why should I fight with you for these things?"

Du Wenchan couldn't argue with her, and since Du Wenxiu had also spoken, she gave up.

After dinner, Cheng Suying and Cheng Xiaomei came to visit them and chat.

Du Wenxiu introduced Qi Sanniang to her. After they greeted each other, they sat together in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

"I have a patient here today, and he is very strange."

Cheng Suying reached out and took a piece of watermelon from A Luo's hand and handed it to Cheng Xiaomei, while she was talking to Du Wenxiu about the things in the pharmacy.

Seeing this, Du Wenxiu couldn't help but pass another piece to her, which made her tease him.

"These watermelons are sold for thousands of coins each outside, but you still eat them as if they were your daily dishes. Every time Master Chen comes to the workshop, he stares at those watermelons for a long time. I feel sorry for the child."

These words caused several people to laugh.

Every time Lu Sangui delivered watermelons to the workshop, he would send two or three more for Du Wenxiu.

Du Wenxiu knew that watermelons were valuable, so he asked him to keep them and sell them. However, he always said that if it weren't for his brother and sister-in-law, how could Lu Sangui be where he is today?

He spoke in a hurry, dropped it and walked away, and no matter how we called him, he would not turn back.

After so many times, Du Wenxiu was too lazy to say anything. Even if he asked Du Wenchan to pay more for the goods, he still sent watermelons according to the quantity.

Du Wenxiu had no choice but to accept his kindness.

"Don't let anything slip in the workshop, or Young Master Chen might dare to come to our house."

Du Wenxiu joked, but Du Wenchan's expression suddenly changed.

"Well, this morning he told me how sweet and delicious the melon was, and I argued with him a little, saying that he was tired of eating it every day. He didn't take it seriously, did he?"

"Oh my ancestor, you are really... That Master Chen is not a gentleman of manners. What if he really comes to test me..."

A Luo was a little anxious. She had a very deep impression of Young Master Chen. Other young masters were all very elegant and proud of their status.

But he is just like a second-generation rich kid who does things according to his heart. Now that he knows that my family has been eating watermelons all the time, I don't know if he will dare to guard here every day.

"Don't panic, don't be afraid. After all, we are a group of women at home. Even if he is not polite, there is no reason for him to stay in our house."

Du Wenxiu hurriedly comforted them.

The two of them were relieved. Du Wenxiu remembered what Cheng Suying had mentioned earlier, but he almost forgot about it because of the interruption.

"Madam Cheng just said that there is a strange patient coming to see a doctor?"

"Yes, she said she came from the countryside because of my reputation, but in her words she was actually asking about my salary and the expenses of running a pharmacy."

"I saw that although she was ill, it was only a minor illness caused by internal heat and fatigue. I prescribed medicine but she didn't take it. I asked her many questions and she passed away soon."

"Can you ask Uncle Chang to go with you and take a look?" Du Wenxiu also found it strange. Could it be that someone wanted to open a pharmacy?

There is no need to come to the workshop to inquire. The pharmacy in the workshop was originally built only for the women working inside and it does not make any money.

"Chang Bo went to check, and came back after a while. He said that the woman went to a place where carriages and horses often gathered, and met a young woman. They whispered something to each other, and then they got on the carriage and went back together."

"He watched them walk away, then came back and told me that he didn't recognize the young woman, but she looked delicate and tender. He would recognize her next time he saw her."

Du Wenxiu nodded slightly and was silent for a few breaths, as if thinking about something.

It was late at night and Cheng Xiaomei was feeling a little sleepy. She lay in Cheng Suying's arms, occasionally lifting her eyelids to look at them. After a while, she fell asleep.
