I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

"She stole her master's property, and she was disrespectful to him. Because he never forgave her for her evil deeds, she cursed him in private. She sold out her master for fame and fortune, and passed inferior goods off as good ones... Such a wicked servant cannot be kept by the Zhao family. We will sell her off with the whole family. I hope you will take this as a warning and concentrate on serving your master."

Mrs. Guo San and her family were tied up and sold.

Two days after the birthday banquet, several young ladies from the Zhao family received a gift when they paid their respects.

Several little girls looked at each other in astonishment as they held the unexpected gifts, not understanding what kind of gift they were receiving during such a strange time of year.

Mei Xunyin was in high spirits when she was happy. She was in much better spirits than usual, with a gentle smile on her face. Even Zhao Fangyun smiled: "My cousin sent it to you. Not only you have it, but everyone in the mansion has it."

"After all, he borrowed it from the Zhao family, so he felt bad about it, so he prepared a small gift to show his gratitude."

"What I gave to the elder and second masters was an inkstone, and what I gave to the girls were some local products from my hometown. Nothing was wasted, and the girls can use them or give them as gifts."

Three-year-old Zhao Fangmo was holding a large gift box in his hands, but he couldn't lift it, so he pulled the rope and dragged it along.

The eldest lady sat in the first seat, looking at the chattering of the little girls below who were going out to buy jewelry today, and she felt happy in her heart.

Thinking of Zhao Minshan's evaluation of Mei Zhanhui, I felt sad.

Mei Zhanhui is a man of noble character, but the Mei and Zhao families already have a marriage, so it would be inappropriate to marry another one, otherwise it would be just right for Fang Wei to marry into his family.

Zhao Fangyu handed the things to Chunshao, and went out with Xiangyao and Suer.

When the eldest lady saw Chunshao being left by Zhao Fangyu to look after the house, she suddenly asked, "You have always lacked a big maid. Have you chosen one now?"

It was not that the eldest lady deliberately did not provide Zhao Fangyu with four maids. It was Zhao Fangyu who said when he moved into Jiaolu that he should pick out someone who suits his taste from the crowd. So the position of the fourth maid has remained vacant.

After his tenth birthday, Zhao Fangyu started to grow his hair long and comb his hair. It seemed a little out of place to have only three maids around him.

This person was also chosen by Zhao Fangyu in advance: "I have chosen it. I have been busy these days and have not come to trouble you, mother. There is a girl named Diecui in the courtyard. I think she is good. Mother Cui, please go and record her as the head maid."

The eldest lady nodded, and the four girls were divided into two carriages.

Zhao Fangjin and Zhao Fangyu were stuck together in the Madam's carriage. Zhao Fangjin looked at the lively scene outside through the fluttering curtains and said eagerly, "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival. This year it's even more lively than in previous years."

Zhao Fangyu never left the house before, and the few times he went out, he was taken by Zhao Fangjin. He really has no memories of the Dragon Boat Festival.

The eldest lady's dark eyes turned slightly, staring at Zhao Fangjin for just a few breaths, and Zhao Fangjin said shyly: "This year is so lively, the Dragon Boat Festival will definitely be more lively than previous years!"

"The little people of Wormwood are all over the streets. Shouldn't our family also prepare?"

The eldest lady nodded and said, "You are all grown up now, don't stay at home all the time. On the Dragon Boat Festival, come out and take a look."

"We'll go to Bailu Pond and occupy a spot to build a tent. Then we'll ask the eldest and second oldest to accompany you guys so you can have some fun and relax."

The eldest lady felt sorry for Zhao Fangjin and Zhao Fangyu because they were tired from hosting the birthday banquet, so she gave them a small reward, which immediately coaxed them into calling her mother all the time.

When you go out with the eldest lady, you don't need to bring any money. If you like something, just call her "Mom".

However, this was a treatment only for Zhao Fangjin. Zhao Fangyu knew her own limitations and did not dare to overstep her bounds. She always picked things similar to those of Fangwei. She was small, and it would be a waste for her to carry such expensive things.

Anyone who knew the inside story would understand that Zhao Fangyu was born out of wedlock, and if he wore too expensive clothes, he would be easily accused of being ostentatious.

The three-story building has red pillars and four large characters written in gold paint on it: Baoqing Silver House.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a saleswoman who is neatly dressed, has a pretty face and has her hair in a bun.

The saleswoman in green clothes saw that the Zhao family was very wealthy, so she immediately took her people to the second floor.

The furnishings on the second floor are obviously more elegant, with an octagonal cabinet made of black lacquered agarwood, rose chairs, and four square tables with carved rosewood flowers scattered in the four corners, with four overseas fairy mountains carved on them in the east, south, west and north respectively.

Compared with the first floor, there are fewer cabinets displaying jewelry and many more floral patterns. The floral scent and the slightly warm spice scent blend together naturally and harmoniously as if they are one and the same.

The saleswoman on the second floor is different from the one on the first floor. She looks like a manager at least.

She was wearing an indigo pleated skirt with a turmeric half-sleeve, and a green shawl with a gold-threaded landscape pattern on her arm. As her hairpin swayed gently and her steps swayed lightly, the woman with the shawl walked in front of her.

The eldest lady and the girl were familiar with each other, and she called her Manager Liu.

Soon, a group of people came holding things to show to the girls from the Zhao family.

Zhao Fangyu had thick hair, so when she started combing her hair after she turned ten, she could use some small hairpins.

Zhao Fangyu picked out a small hairpin with kingfisher feathers, pearls and gold flowers, and a white jade jasmine hairpin.

The eldest lady glanced at Zhao Fangyu's goat horn bun that was almost like cat ears and said, "You have a lot of hair, so pick out some pretty hairpins. Your elder sister, at her age, saved up a box of hairpins for herself."

How could Zhao Fangyu dare to compete with Zhao Fangjin? Madam Xie Wan picked out a few sandalwood hairpins, a pair of round hairpins with kingfisher feathers, pearls and agate, and a gem gourd hairpin.

Seeing that she had picked several, Zhao Fangyun also tried his best to pick the most expensive one.

Jade butterflies, pearls and peonies, all of which were picked and chosen. It didn't seem like I was here to buy jewelry, but rather like I was here to rip off a wealthy family. Fortunately, the silver shop had good taste and only brought out good goods. I couldn't find an ugly one even with my eyes closed. Otherwise, according to Zhao Fangyun's way of choosing...

Zhao Fangyu turned around and saw that everyone was choosing hairpins, so she hid aside and looked at earrings.

She liked longer earrings and was fond of turquoise and agate beads, but there was a pair of gold-threaded and white jade gourd earrings that were particularly beautiful. Zhao Fangyu wanted them and hesitated whether to replace the white jade jasmine hairpin she was wearing.

The snow-white and lustrous jade is radiant and warm. It is twisted into fine threads and wound into flower petals to make an exquisite and auspicious gourd holder.

Zhao Fangyu picked up the pair of slender earrings made of white jade and gold-threaded gourd and looked at them carefully. They were indeed good things.

Pretending not to like them, Zhao Fangyu gently put the things down and began to walk around the room, helping Fang Wei choose her hairpins and helping Fang Jin look at her hairpins.

When passing by, she was caught by the eldest lady and asked to try on a pair of Man Ting Fang's gold earrings.

The daughter of the Zhao family returned with a great deal of goods, and the owner of the silver shop sold a lot of valuable stock, and he was grinning from ear to ear.

The next moment, a man in a black flying fish suit came down from the third floor.

The black soap boots landed silently on the ground, and the large embroidered patches were painful to the eyes.

The housekeeper bowed to Pei Yanyingying and called him "Sir" almost devoutly.

"Continue investigating what I told you to do." Pei Yan had a gloomy face. He was naturally not in a good mood because he was interrupted in the middle of the investigation.

The woman in green said yes.

The next moment, Pei Yan picked up the gold-thread gourd earrings that Zhao Fangyu had just put down. The sunlight shone directly in, passing through the white jade that looked like milk. The gold threads were shining, elegant and precious, yet not eye-catching.

It's really good.

The people following Pei Yan immediately took out the silver and put it on the counter. The lady in green did not move. When she raised her head again, the black-clad Jinyiwei had disappeared without a trace.

After the others left, the lady in green picked up the silver with an expressionless face and weighed it - Tsk, no profit at all, just right.

The Southern Pacification Office is so short of money? This shouldn't be the case...

Zhao Fangyu returned to Jiaolu with a full load. Although he did not buy the pair of white jade earrings, the other things were also very good.

In a good mood, she patted her makeup box and said, "Where's Diecui? Call her over."
