Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Zi Yuan immediately stepped forward with a smile and introduced herself first.

"My name is Ziyuan, and I'm the sixth daughter of the Qin family. My mother told me that a distinguished guest would come today, and I've been looking forward to it!"

Liu Siyu guessed her identity the first time she saw her.

The two of them are somewhat similar, especially their eyes, which are slightly upturned almond-shaped.

Very similar to Aunt Fu.

Although she had no expectations for this half-sister, she still showed a look of surprise on her face.

"You are Ziyuan's sister..."

Zi Yuan nodded and blinked at Liu Siyu hurriedly, fearing that this sister from the countryside was too stupid and would accidentally reveal their identities.

Although their stepmother and eldest brother accepted their recognition, they did not let them reveal the identity of this country sister.

I think he had some concerns in his heart.

Mother had already told her some information about Liu Siyu yesterday.

Deep down, she didn't quite agree with her sister who came from the country; their situation was so difficult.

Liu Siyu's identity is like a time bomb, which may turn everything they have fought so hard for into ashes at any time.

But since the eldest brother and stepmother wanted them to recognize each other, then they had to. Although she didn't know what kind of deal her mother had made with them, recognizing her eldest sister had always been her mother's wish.

Whether it was to put on a show in front of her stepmother and elder brother, or to avoid making her mother sad, she had to appear happy.

He immediately stepped forward and took Liu Siyu's hand.

"Yes, mother mentioned you yesterday and asked me to take good care of you today!"

(The mother that Ziyuan mentioned refers to the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion. In front of outsiders, the children born to a concubine can only call their mother "aunt", and must respectfully call the eldest lady "mother".)

Then he said to the little girls, "Sister Siyu is my mother's honored guest. You can just call her Sister Siyu with me."

The little girls all grew up in a large mansion, and their main purpose of making friends with Zi Yuan was to win over the Qin family.

Otherwise, Zi Yuan, a bastard girl, would not be in their eyes at all.

Hearing Zi Yuan say this, her smile became even sweeter.

There is no difference between making friends with a young lady favored by the eldest lady and currying favor with a maid born out of wedlock.

They all called her Sister Siyu politely.

Liu Siyu actually doesn't like dealing with these young ladies.

The girls don’t look very young, but the intelligence and calculation in their eyes always make people feel uneasy.

She prefers the simplicity and innocence of country girls.

But he still smiled because of the new product developed a few days ago.

She bowed, imitating the way the maids greeted Mother Chang.

"Hello, ladies. It's our first meeting. I don't know what you like. I have a very special little thing for you as a gift."

As he spoke, he took out a few small porcelain bottles from his sleeve pocket.

Although they didn't know what was in the porcelain bottle, they all accepted it politely out of courtesy.

They also took out handkerchiefs, sachets and other things as gifts to give to Liu Siyu in return.

They are Ziyuan's friends and are about the same age as Ziyuan. When they go to such a party, they will definitely bring some of these small gadgets with them.

Whether it is to reward someone or to make new friends, for these 11 or 12-year-old girls, giving out such things is neither rude nor too deliberate.

Zi Yuan immediately began to introduce her friends to Liu Siyu.

He first pointed at a woman in a bright red dress and said, "This is Hua Xuan'er, the second daughter of the Hua family."

Hua Xuaner smiled faintly, with a curious look in her eyes.

I always feel that Liu Siyu and Zi Yuan are somewhat similar.

He looked over Ziyuan.

Zi Yuan was born with a very fair complexion, a small and upright nose, a cherry-like mouth and an oval face. Her thin figure gave people the feeling of a weak willow swaying in the wind.

Then he turned his gaze to Liu Siyu.

Although their eyes are somewhat similar and they are both thin, Liu Siyu has a different feeling.

There is always a faint smile on her face, which adds a bit of liveliness and prettiness to her.

Her slim figure looks quite powerful, not like an ordinary lady from a wealthy family, especially her wheat-colored skin, which looks particularly healthy and rosy.

She immediately shook her head gently, perhaps she was just overthinking it.

Liu Siyu and Zi Yuan did not notice Hua Xuaner's little thoughts.

Zi Yuan pulled over a little girl in a lilac dress and said, "This is Shu Qi'er, the third daughter of the Mai family."

Finally, he pointed at the little girl in the green dress and said, "She is the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Moer."

Liu Siyu greeted them one by one, "Sister Xuan'er, Sister Qi'er, Sister Mo'er."

The three of them also called Sister Siyu sweetly.

Especially the one named Su Moer, her two deep dimples are very charming when she smiles.

She stared at the small porcelain bottle Liu Siyu gave her with curiosity. She probably wanted to know what was inside but was too embarrassed to ask.

Liu Siyu was secretly delighted and said considerately, "This small porcelain bottle contains mosquito repellent cream. Open it and smell it to see if you like the smell."

"Mosquito repellent cream?"

Su Moer's eyes lit up. She had heard of mosquito repellent cream, but this was the first time she saw it. She quickly opened the bottle cap and took a sniff.

There was a faint scent of gardenia mixed with a faint medicinal aroma.

Liu Siyu also took out a bottle from the ice cellar, opened the lid and demonstrated to the others.

She raised her bare hand and scraped some cream from the bottle, then applied a little on her wrists, neck, and behind her ears.

The faint scent of gardenia wafts in the air.

The little girls no longer cared about pretending to be reserved and immediately started applying it on their bodies.

While applying the cream, Su Moer asked curiously, "Sister Siyu, where did you buy this mosquito repellent cream?"

Liu Siyu's eyes were full of smiles. The little girl's question hit the nail on the head.

“This is not purchased from outside, but developed by myself.”

Hua Xuan'er showed a hint of contempt. Although she had never seen mosquito repellent cream, she often used moisturizing cream.

It looks not much different from her mosquito repellent cream.

She unconsciously looked at Liu Siyu again. Although she was dressed similarly to them, her fingers were obviously not as delicate as theirs.

He looks similar to a servant in their family, and I guess he often does rough work.

I can't help but complain in my heart that the family of the eldest lady of the Qin family must not be a humble family. The fact that Mother Chang brought her here specially for them to meet, means that she has caught the eldest lady's eye.

Such a young lady would definitely not be an unknown illegitimate child in the family.

A young lady who is valued by her family has a pair of hands for doing rough work. How weird is that?

I couldn't help but ask tentatively: "You made it, is your family engaged in moisturizing cream business?"

Liu Siyu shook her head and said, "I developed it myself."

She made this mosquito repellent cream mainly to test the waters.

I am thinking of focusing on skin care in the future.

She had asked Qin Feng and Han Dongyi before, but these two grown men were not interested in these things.

Liu Siyu didn't know any woman of status and ability to spend, so she had to take advantage of Qin Feng's wedding to come here to explore the market.
