The little sister is a troublemaker

Zhang was even more upset by this incident. "Lan'er, mother doesn't need jewelry. Let's go back. Look, Yuan Ruo can't hold anything in her hands."

The shopkeeper who had just hidden downstairs suddenly reappeared and said with a flattering smile, "Madam, don't worry. We at Zhenbao Pavilion treat our distinguished customers with the utmost service. We can deliver goods to your door."

When Huo Yuanruo heard this, he immediately pointed to the bags on the ground and said, "That's great. Send these back to me as well."

The shopkeeper nodded and said yes repeatedly, "Young Master, just give me the address later, and I will definitely arrange it for you."

Li Mulan didn't listen to Zhang at all and picked another white jade hairpin. "I think this hairpin is also suitable for me. Why don't you try it?"

Zhang: ······

Huo Yuanruo glanced at Li Mulan and the other two who were still selecting jewelry, and secretly put an agarwood box into the shopkeeper's hand, whispering, "I want this, young master, pack it for me."

The shopkeeper was a smart man. Seeing Huo Yuanruo being so careful, he immediately understood what he meant and responded in a low voice, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away, young master, don't worry."

Finally, under Zhang's anxious urging, Li Mulan picked out two sets of jewelry for her and some things for several people in the family. The owner of the Treasure Pavilion was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He served a bunch of tea and cakes and let several people go to the private room on the top floor to rest. That was a treatment only for the most distinguished customers of their Treasure Pavilion.

Although it was the first time for Li Mulan and her companions to come here, they spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on their first visit. Hahahaha, they are absolutely super supreme customers.

Li Mulan lazily leaned on the chair, drinking tea with some boredom, "Hey, Yuanyuan, why hasn't that fat girl come yet?"

Huo Yuanruo ate the cakes in big mouthfuls without raising his head, "How would I know? Maybe he is still trying to get someone to come."

Li Mulan sighed with regret, "Oh, it's too slow."

Zhang didn't want to cause trouble and looked very anxious. "Lan'er, let's go back. This... We are not familiar with this place. It's better not to cause trouble if we can."

Huo Yuanruo raised his head suddenly, patted his chest and said, "Aunt, don't be afraid, I'm here. Yuanruo can definitely protect you."

Zhang nodded awkwardly, still looking very uncomfortable.

Li Mulan knew that her mother was used to being cautious, but... humph, her mother, Li Mulan, could not be so timid.

"Mom, we didn't cause trouble, it was trouble that found us. My master taught me since I was a child not to cause trouble when I'm out, but if trouble comes to me, hehe, just fight back. Anyway, we must never be bullied."

Huo Yuanruo ate another piece of cake and said proudly, "That's right. That old lady just now was even more arrogant than me. This is intolerable. I must put a stop to her arrogance today and let her know why the flowers are so red. Hehehe..."

“But...but..." Zhang was still very worried.

Li Mulan sat up straighter and took Zhang's hand, "Mom, you can't do this. When we return to Kyoto, grandfather will be reinstated for sure, and dad will definitely enter the officialdom. You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Taifu Mansion. Grandmother is gone, and you will have to take care of all the affairs of the mansion in the future. You can't be so timid, you have to show the momentum of the mistress of the house, otherwise, you will definitely be bullied."

"I...I..." Zhang sighed. She had been worried about this recently. When her mother-in-law was still alive, she was in charge of all the affairs in the mansion. Because she was soft-hearted, she had been reminded by her mother-in-law many times.

This time when we return to Kyoto, we ask her to be the housekeeper. What should we do? She has never managed a household before.

Li Mulan held Zhang's hand a little tighter, "You have no other choice but to be tough."

"But... mother really can't do it. Mother... has never managed the household. Before she got married, my mother never asked anyone to teach her, and my aunt doesn't know how to do it either, so... ah, mother is useless." Zhang had a dejected look on her face.

"It's okay, Mom. You can't do it, but Lan'er can." Li Mulan held her little face high, looking very cute.

Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she grabbed Li Mulan's hand excitedly, "Really? Then... can Lan'er teach me?"

Zhang felt a little ashamed to say this, but there was nothing she could do, she really didn't know anything...

"Of course, no problem. Recently, I will... teach you how to read the account book first."

Although Zhang had not learned anything else, she was at least literate, and a housekeeper must be able to read the account books.

"Okay, okay, I'll learn from you, as long as Lan'er doesn't think I'm stupid."

Li Mulan rubbed her head against Zhang's shoulder and acted coquettishly, "Mother is not stupid. Mother can give birth to such a smart daughter, so she must be smart too, hehehe."

Zhang heard this and immediately shook her head and laughed, "Are you praising mother or yourself?"

"Of course I'm praising my mother, hahahaha."

Qingyu stared blankly at the interaction between the mother and daughter, not knowing what she was thinking...

They chatted happily for a while. Zhang was no longer as timid as before and became much more generous.

Huo Yuanruo was getting a little impatient. He had already eaten the cakes and drunk the tea, but why hadn't the aunt come yet? Could she be scared?

"Master Junior, do we still have to wait? I don't think that auntie will come."

Li Mulan was also a little disappointed. She thought there would be a good show to watch, but it turned out to be a paper tiger that could only bark. "Forget it, it's getting late, let's go back."

Zhang originally thought that less trouble was better than more trouble, and it was just right that no one came. "We have been out for half a day, your father must be worried. And Xier," Zhang covered her mouth and chuckled, "he was taken away by your second uncle, and we are out shopping, so he must have something to say."

Li Mulan's mouth twitched, thinking that she would definitely meet Li Xi's resentful eyes when she returned, she felt a little helpless. However, fortunately, she had just prepared a pretty good jade pendant for her, which should be able to comfort her.

When they returned to the inn, they saw Li Yi and Li Xi waiting at the door anxiously. They were relieved to see them coming back.

Li Yi immediately stepped forward and held his wife's hand, complaining a little but still in a gentle tone, "Why did you take so long?"

Zhang's eyebrows were gentle, and she looked at Li Yi with a smile, "It was the first time I went shopping with Lan'er. I forgot the time for a moment, and I'm sorry to have worried you."

Li Yi shook his head, "I'm glad you're okay."

Li Xi looked at his mother and sister with some grievance, "Mom, sister, why didn't you call me when you went out?"

Zhang looked at Li Mulan awkwardly. Li Mulan touched her nose and said, "Well, didn't you go to your second uncle's place? I thought you must be busy."

"Then can't you wait for me?" The tone was so pitiful, coupled with the pitiful puppy-like eyes, it made Li Mulan feel even more guilty.

"Ahem...um, sister has picked out a gift for you. Do you want to go and have a look?"
