I was a housekeeper in ancient times

As it turned out, the body left to her by the original owner was not in good condition and could not withstand excessive fatigue.

When she got up the next day, although she was still in good spirits, she still asked Yu Muyan for two days off to see a doctor outside.

She didn't dare go alone, for fear of fainting on the street, so she took Huan Jie'er with her.

Huan Jieer was still unwilling, complaining about the sun outside, "Mom, aren't you fine? Why go to the doctor? It's a waste of money."

She said angrily, "I was sick last time and almost died, but you didn't come to see me. This time I want to see a doctor, and you think I'm wasting money. What's the matter? Your life is worthless, isn't it? Even if you are like this, don't blame me for being nice to Xiaohan and the others. They know how to ask about my health, but you just want me to die."

She found that Huan Jie'er was really heartless. Whenever she had good food, drinks and jewelry, Huan Jie'er would come to her happily, try to please her and be filial to her.

If something really happens and she asks Sister Huan for help, she will complain about this and that and won't treat her as her own mother at all.

"Mom, I was just saying it casually, don't take it to heart. I'm just afraid that you'll get sunburned in such a hot day." Huan Jie'er said as she held up an oil-paper umbrella for her and tilted it towards her.

She was too lazy to pay attention and just walked on.

Perhaps it was due to blood ties. She knew intellectually that she had no relationship with Sister Huan, but the inherent maternal instinct in this body sometimes went beyond her reason.

In other words, sometimes she really treats Huan Jie'er as her own daughter.

Moreover, after she came here, Sister Huan was the person she was most familiar with, so compared to other people, she would trust and be closer to Sister Huan.

But obviously, she put Huan Jie'er in her heart, and Huan Jie'er put her on her lips and didn't care.

Sister Huan taught her about the fickleness of human nature and the vicissitudes of the world.

They found a famous clinic, but the wait was very long. Huan Jieer couldn't stand it any longer and went out to buy some cool drinks, using the excuse that she was thirsty.

She regretted not bringing Xiaohan or Zhuer out, as it would be better to bring Huanjieer.

She was bored and looked at the passers-by, when suddenly she saw a familiar figure standing in the shop opposite.

She looked carefully and wondered why it looked like Song Zan.

There happened to be an old lady sitting next to her, who was also free, so the two of them started chatting.

She asked the old lady if she knew Song Zan who worked in the shop opposite.

The old lady said happily, "How could I not know? I also live nearby. As for the Song family brother across the street, I often go to his house to buy fabrics to make clothes. He has a lot of fabrics and they are affordable. I heard that some wealthy families also order fabrics from him."

She became interested. "What kind of person is this Song family boy? Hasn't he married yet?"

"No, his family originally arranged for him to marry someone of equal status, but he refused."

"Why not?"

"You don't know that this Song family brother has high standards. How can an ordinary family be in his eyes? Moreover, the family was introduced by Song family brother's aunt. Song family brother has a knot in his heart, so how can he agree?"

"How do you say this?"

The old lady said that the owner of the clothing store was Song Zan's uncle, and the couple was unable to have children, so they adopted Song Zan. However, Song Zan was also the only son in the family, and his father was gone, leaving only his mother.

It is said to be adopted, but in fact he is the only child of two families.

When he arrived at the shop, Song Zan had already grown up, so no matter how well Mr. and Mrs. Song treated him, he only remembered his own mother.

After hearing this, Lin Weiqiao nodded, "So that's what happened."

The old lady said, "He is also a calculating man. Over the years, his aunt has been on guard against him and has not allowed him to interfere in the business of the shop. Unexpectedly, he has made himself very capable and has done an excellent job in accounting, purchasing and selling goods. He is also smart and has made his own fabrics available to those wealthy families, making his family's business more prosperous. Now his aunt is not on guard against him, but has to beg him."

"So he's quite capable. But I wonder what his character is like?"

"It's just so-so. Businessmen naturally despise the poor and love the rich, flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak. Now he is obsessed with marrying up to a higher level."

Finally it was her turn to take the patient's pulse. The old doctor in the clinic was an old man with white hair and beard, and he was obviously a famous doctor.

Seeing him shaking his head and frowning, she asked nervously, "Doctor, can I still be cured?"

The old doctor said: "It can be cured, but your Qi and blood are both deficient, and your five internal organs are damaged, so it will take a lot of time."

The old doctor wrote a long list of prescriptions and also taught her how to take care of her body in daily life.

At this moment, in her eyes, the old doctor was no longer a mortal, but a life-saving immortal.

When she came out of the clinic, she felt as if she had been given a new life.

After returning to the Earl's Mansion, Manager Li came to her and said that they could try to open an embroidery workshop at the Bai residence. Even if business in Changning Street was bad, the embroidery products would not be outdated for a while, and once the business became well-known, it would become popular.

“But for an embroidery workshop, the most important thing is the embroiderer, and good embroiderers are hard to find,” said Manager Li.

"Don't worry about this for now. It's just business. After deciding what business to do, we need to decide who we want to sell our products to. Ordinary people or wealthy families?"

"Of course they are from a wealthy family. Our family is a noble family after all. How could we ..."

"Well, business is not divided into high and low, and rich families can hire embroiderers to do the work themselves, so why buy it from outside?"

Manager Li paused and smiled helplessly, "That's right."

She said, "I will ask Madam about this matter later. As for the embroiderer, you should pay more attention to it."

She had wanted to start taking care of her health tonight. It was a hot day, so as soon as the sun went down, she soaked her feet and smoked moxa early. Just as she was about to lie down nicely, she was informed that Madam Li was hosting a birthday party tonight and wanted her to join in the fun.

She wanted to have a good rest, but she heard that Chef Huang was in charge of the cooking and had cooked many delicious dishes.

Since it was Madam Li who came to invite her personally, how could she refuse? She had to go.

As soon as she arrived at the garden, she saw all kinds of delicious food on the table, including old duck soup, fish head with red pepper, braised yellow croaker, fried pigeon and other things she had seen and had never seen before, as well as all kinds of fine wines and fruits.

Since Madam Li didn't have a big wedding, she invited a few of them to be her companions. They all came from the Qi family, so naturally they had a deeper relationship.

They work hard on a daily basis and are servants, so they have to hide their joys and sorrows, and have to endure any grievances they feel.

Tonight, under the influence of alcohol, although we are all old, we still want to have some fun.

Chef Huang standing next to them didn't join in the fun, just looked at them with a silly smile.

Lin Weiqiao heard from Madam Li that Madam Huang was also invited, but she didn't see Madam Huang, so she asked about Chef Huang.

The smile on Chef Huang's face turned uncomfortable. "She went home. She's not used to such a lively scene."

Lin Weiqiao naturally didn't believe it. She thought that it was probably because Kang Ming was too suspicious that Madam Huang didn't dare to go back late.
