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

Zhao Fanglan recently discovered that Zhao Fangwei did not go out, so she went to look for her, and found her sitting alone in front of the window embroidering quietly.

Apart from that, Zhao Fangwei seemed to have lost all her life.

Zhao Fangyun also came a few times, but the two sisters had no idea what was going on, so after a few words, they parted ways.

In the past, Zhao Fangwei would always tolerate and give in, but today, she is about to marry far away to some unknown place, so she doesn't care about the burden of Zhao Fangyun and Aunt Song.

From now on, the mountains are high and the waters are far away. If you are a little cruel, she will not come back even for a funeral.

Everyone in Qingping Court knew about Zhao Fangwei's change, and the eldest lady didn't say much. She just invited Zhao Minshan two days later and asked him to find a marriage for Zhao Fangwei among the officials serving outside the court.

At first, Zhao Minshan was puzzled as to why the eldest lady insisted on marrying Zhao Fangwei far away, until he heard that Zhao Fangwei intended to seduce Song Bai, his expression changed.

The marriage between Song Bai and Zhao Fangjin was also arranged with the help of Zhao Minshan. The current Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was old and would retire in five years at most. Zhao Minshan wanted to climb up the career ladder, so he tried his best to secretly arrange this marriage.

After careful investigation, the eldest lady found that the Song family was indeed a good family, so she took the initiative to take the girls from the Zhao family to various banquets held by the Song family several times.

The noble ladies in Kyoto often hold banquets. Holding banquets and attending banquets are just commonplace. The noble ladies keep a record of how many daughters you have, how old they are, how many sons you have, and whether you have achieved any achievements.

Since Zhao Fangwei had done such a mistake, the eldest lady naturally didn't want to worry about her.

"At the beginning, I felt sorry for her, so I specially picked the Zhang family in Sichuan for her. The family house is quiet and the family is rich. She will be the mistress of the house once she enters. The brothers live separately, and the sisters-in-law don't have to worry about getting along with each other. Moreover, the child is already a juren, and the family is also a prominent family in Sichuan. It is not difficult for her to become an official. It's just that she wanted to become a jinshi, which delayed her for a few years."

"The brothers are very harmonious. One of my cousins works as a transport agent in Fuzhou. He brings home a lot of money every year... That's her. If it was Yu'er, I don't know how happy she would be."

The eldest lady was born into the Longxi Li family. If it was a family that was really not decent, she would not even look at them.

After Zhao Minshan listened to the eldest lady's detailed account of the Zhang family's origins in Shu, the tea in his mouth suddenly lost its fragrance.

The Fuzhou Transport Commissioner is not of high rank, but it is indeed a lucrative job among lucrative ones!

If they could establish some connections, the Zhao family could do some shipping business, who knows how much they could earn!

Thinking of Zhao Fangwei's face without eyebrows and at most gentle, Zhao Minshan really couldn't think of a place where he could let her marry into a better family than the Zhang family.

She is quite good at needlework, and her other skills are also not bad, but she is not proficient in them. Compared with Zhao Fangyu, hers is like the girl's red wine at the city gate and the jade wine in the palace.

There is always a difference between being outstanding in one aspect and being outstanding in everything.

"I'll take a look in a few days. She has bad intentions. It would be good for her to work with her husband for a few years to temper her temper."

Zhao Minshan put down the teacup and lay down with his wife in his arms.

After the eldest lady lay down, she thought of what Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Fangjin had said, and couldn't help but mention it to Zhao Minshan: "Since you took Lan'er to the study, do you have other plans for the person to enter the palace?"

"My father has heard me mention Yu'er before, and he once said he wanted to meet this child."

Zhao Minshan paused while stroking his beard: "Does father-in-law like Yu'er?"

The eldest lady turned over and laughed at him: "Who doesn't like Yu'er? She is filial and polite. You also know that girls in our Li family are precious. I have to prepare a dowry for Yu'er just by hearing about what she did after she was registered under my name."

As Zhao Fangwei remained silent, the entire Zhao family’s backyard seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Fangjin wish they could stay together all the time. The two of them are as close as conjoined twins. If they find one, they will get the other one as a gift.

Zhao Fangyu's birthday is in autumn, so it's not a big celebration as it's not the whole year, but it's fine to hold a small banquet at home.

The eldest lady brought up this topic when she was paying her respects. Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Fangjin were thinking about what dishes to order. Zhao Fangyun and Zhao Fangwei on the other side were silent. Only Zhao Fanglan came out and said something, which made the whole place silent:

"My younger sister is going to have her birthday, and I think she will be too busy to handle the business in the shop. Why don't I help out for a few days so that my fourth sister can relax."

Zhao Fangjin immediately laughed unceremoniously: "Isn't Third Sister helping to sort out documents in Daddy's study? It's not enough that you've taken Fourth Sister's job from Daddy, but now you're also going to get involved in the dowry that Mother is preparing to give us?"

Zhao Fanglan immediately knelt down in front of the eldest lady, tears streaming down her face. Her tone was filled with unspeakable grievance and confusion: "Lan'er is just worried that Fourth Sister will tire herself out like she did before, so I wanted to help her out of kindness. After all, all the sisters in my family have it, but I don't, so I'm the only one who has some free time."

After saying that, Zhao Fanglan turned her head and looked at Zhao Fangjin. Her eyes were filled with tears as she dropped them. The loose jacket she wore made her look even thinner.

"How can you guess at me like that, elder sister? Lan'er did some things that were not thoughtful and wrong in the past, but Lan'er has changed everything with the old lady. She recites scriptures and prays every day, praying for Daddy's longevity and Mom's health..."

Zhao Fanglan expressed her grievances so much that after just a few words, her face was already filled with tears.

At this time in the past, Zhao Fangwei or Zhao Fangyu would have come out to smooth things over, but Zhao Fanglan was just singing, reciting, and acting without anyone saying a word.

She glanced over quietly and saw that Zhao Fangwei, who should have taken the conversation, was daydreaming and had no idea what she was thinking about.

Zhao Fangyu smiled and held Zhao Fangjin's hand, handed her a plate of lychee Longjing butter rose rolls, and turned to look at Zhao Fanglan, who had not acted like a troublemaker for a long time.

I was so busy dealing with Zhao Fangwei that I forgot to deal with her.

When Zhao Fangwei saw Zhao Fangyu's actions, she couldn't help but tremble.

What kind of lunatic would dare to poison himself?

To this day, Zhao Fangwei is still not sure whether the powder in the bowl of tea was arsenic.

Zhao Fangyu held his chin with one hand, and calmly looked at Zhao Fanglan, who was kneeling in front of him with tears in her eyes, and said innocently: "Third sister's words are very strange. I just celebrated my birthday, not fainted for a day. How can there be something that I can't handle or something that I can't handle?"

"The business in the Fourteen States is huge, and the shopkeeper we invited is also a very prestigious and honest person. I spent so much money to invite her. If she can't leave me for even a day or two, then she doesn't need to be the shopkeeper anymore."

"I know you, Third Sister. There are so many documents in my father's study that I often find it difficult to handle them all by myself. It's almost as difficult as managing a shop."

"Among the five of us sisters, there is no one who is idle. The four of us run the shop, and the third sister is in charge of the documents in father's study. If people get the news, they will praise mother for her good teaching."
