I was a housekeeper in ancient times

She found Papaya and told him to go to the vegetable and meat markets to inquire and write down the prices of each vegetable and meat in detail, including the prices last month, as well as all kinds of dry goods.

"This is a troublesome thing to do, and you will have to run around and work hard. Take this money and buy something to eat when you are thirsty or hungry." She gave Papaya some errand fees.

"Mom, I can't accept it. Mom helps me like this, and I am blessed to be able to run errands for you."

"Let's put things in perspective. You'll have to spend money when you're out there, so just accept it. By the way, how's the discussion about your sister going?"

"We found an elder to negotiate with, and the other party was unwilling at first. After we negotiated for a long time, they expressed their willingness to pay a high price..."

"However much you want, come with me and get it. I'll bring your sister back first."

Mugua took the money, kowtowed to her, and said that since she had bought her sister with her own money, she would be her maid from now on and would listen to her arrangements.

She waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't lack people to serve me. Your sister is so young and she still serves others."

Mugua said, "We can't accept mother's kindness for nothing. She was bought by mother, so she belongs to mother. If mother doesn't want her, she has nowhere to go."

"Let's redeem it first."

"it is good."

After dealing with this matter, Zhu'er came and asked her to go to Shuangxiyuan to accompany Yu Muyan and her sister to choose materials and jewelry.

When will it be her turn to enjoy a day like this?

She was really fed up with this world.

Before reaching Shuangxiyuan, I saw Song Zan talking to Qiushi under the pavilion in front. I didn't know what Song Zan was saying, but he made Qiushi laugh.

Seeing Song Zan's fawning look, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable disgust. Especially since she heard from the old lady last time that Song Zan was very scheming and calculating, it would be more accurate to say that he was attracted to Qiu Shi because she was Yu Muyan's maid rather than Qiu Shi's.

Perhaps the current Pingrong Marquis's Mansion was nothing to the nobles in Beijing, but to ordinary people, it was a top-notch family that they could never reach.

Not to mention the real master of the Earl's Mansion, even the housekeeper, maid and so on in the Mansion, when they go out, ordinary people will look up to them.

Some managers who are doing well are even more respectable than the landlords outside.

Even though everyone in the Earl's Mansion is a servant, once you go out, the mere dignity of coming out of the Earl's Mansion is enough to make people flatter and respect you.

“What are you talking about?” Lin Weiqiao walked over unconsciously.

"Hello, Mother Lin." Song Zan greeted her politely.

"It's Shopkeeper Xiao Song." She nodded, said a few words, and then pulled Qiushi away.

When they were far away, she asked, "What do you think of Shopkeeper Xiao Song?"

Qiushi's face flushed, and she said shyly, "What do you think? Why are you asking this, Mom?"

"Just asking casually. I saw that when Shopkeeper Xiao Song came, you gathered together to talk. People are curious. I heard that Shopkeeper Xiao Song is interested in you..."

“Mom! You…”

Qiushi lowered her head shyly like a little girl. She didn't say anything, but her body movements showed her feelings.

Lin Weiqiao sighed helplessly. It is said that a good girl is afraid of being pestered by a man. Even if Qiu Shi had no interest in Song Zan at the beginning, after a long time, she could not withstand Song Zan's sweet words and persistence.

Qiushi grew up in the mansion and had a lot of knowledge, but she had no experience in matters between men and women, and she was also involved in the matter, so it was inevitable that she could not see through it.

In this world, when a woman gets married, it is like her second reincarnation. If she marries the wrong person or marries poorly, she will ruin her happiness for the rest of her life and it will be difficult to turn back.

When choosing a husband, one must be extremely cautious.

"Don't worry, you don't know much about his family situation or his personality."

"Mom, let's not talk about anything else. I've seen what kind of person he is."

"You naturally see him when he is in front of you. But do you know what he is like outside the mansion? Your understanding of him is only during the time he has been in the mansion. If he wants to please you, he will naturally show his best side to you."

"Mom, what do you mean..."

She didn't want to say it too harshly, so she just asked Qiushi not to be too anxious, because time will tell. After all, Song Zan was not from the mansion, so she didn't know his background or temperament, so she just had to wait and see.

"Also, don't get anxious when he urges you. You don't know what Madam means. Madam doesn't want you to marry too far away."

When they arrived at Shuangxiyuan, Yu Muliu saw her coming and said coquettishly, "Mom is late, you should be punished!"

She said, "Good girl, I am old and can't walk well, please forgive me."

The materials and jewelry delivered were of more styles than those sold in other shops.

Yu Muliu happily tried the fabric and jewelry, "Second sister, mother, do you think this fabric suits me?"

She smiled and said, "You are young and pretty, even if you wear coarse linen clothes, you will look good."

The three of them tried it happily, but Chunqing came and said that someone from the Yu family was coming to take Yu Muliu back, and they had to leave immediately.

Yu Muliu immediately hung her head and looked at Yu Muyan reluctantly. Yu Muyan asked, "Is there something wrong at home? Why did you let Sister Liu go back for no reason? Can't you stay a few more days?"

Chunqing said, "This is what the old lady meant. She said it's not appropriate for Miss Liu to live in the mansion all the time."

"Big sister, are you going back too?"

"I didn't say that. I just told Miss Liu to go home."

Yu Muliu curled her lips and said, "It's appropriate for my elder sister to live in the uncle's house, but it's not appropriate for me to live in the uncle's house. Mother is really biased. I don't understand, why is it inappropriate for me to be here?"

Yu Muliu felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke. He sat sideways, obviously not wanting to go back.

Yu Muyan comforted him, "Maybe there's something going on at home that they want you to go back to take care of. Just go back for a few days and come back then. Take all these materials and this box of jewelry home. I'll only give you one, so you don't have to share it with your third sister."

Lin Weiqiao was also wondering, what could possibly happen in the Yu family that required Yu Muliu, a teenage girl, to go back and deal with it?

After seeing Yu Muliu off, Yu Muyan left her alone and asked her about the birth that day.

Yu Muyan said, "I heard from Sister Cuihong that you asked a few of them. There were indeed many clues when I was about to give birth that day."

She said, "The two midwives carried the same basket when they came in and out. I guess the basket must contain..."

"mom!"

"lady?"

Yu Muyan's heart suddenly trembled, and she held her wrist with trembling hands, and asked anxiously: "Tell me, if it is true, then my child is..."

She gently patted the back of Yu Muyan's hand and said, "Madam, don't worry. Madam's child is a lucky person and will be fine."
