The three of them left the dental shop. Xie Changjin went to lead Da Mao while Tang Qiyue looked at Aunt Wu and said, "You did a good job today."

Aunt Wu performed the etiquette she learned in a wealthy family to Tang Qiyue, "Working for the master is my duty."

Tang Qiyue glanced into the dental office and asked, "Do you know why I picked you?"

"I don't know, little one."

"Because you are very courageous, I won't hide it from you. I bought you so that you can cook and do housework in my house. Occasionally, one or two annoying flies come to our house. I hope you can do the same as you did today."

This fly is not that fly.

Aunt Wu was not a fool. On the contrary, she had seen too many intrigues among wealthy families. She immediately understood what Tang Qiyue meant. She bowed and said, "I understand."

"I understand." Tang Qiyue smiled with satisfaction. At this time, Xie Changjin drove Damao over and went to the largest garment store in the town.

Tang Qiyue glanced at the small bag Aunt Wu was carrying on her back and guessed that it should contain some old clothes, so she wanted to buy her two new sets of clothes. Aunt Wu said she didn't want anything. It was not good to let the employer spend money before she even started working.

While waiting for the owner of the clothing store to choose clothes for Aunt Wu, Tang Qiyue strolled around the store. The weather would soon become hotter and hotter, so the fabrics for her family's clothes would have to be lighter and thinner.

Last year there was continuous drought, heavy rains, heavy snow and hail. I don’t know how hot this summer will be.

The most indispensable thing in summer is naturally ice. Tang Qiuyue thought, should I make ice by myself?

She had ice-making tools in her space, but in this dynasty, ice seemed to be available only to the nobles. She had heard Lin say that when the weather was hot in the past, they had to endure it, so they never thought about getting ice or anything like that.

This ice...can it be made?

Suddenly, Xie Changjin came over and asked, "What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought that you didn't even hear me calling you?"

Tang Qiyue came back to her senses and looked at him hesitantly, "I have something to ask you when we get back later." With such a nobleman around her, it would be a waste not to ask.

Coming back to the counter, Tang Qiyue asked Aunt Wu to accept the two new sets of clothes and was about to pay the boss when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a handkerchief out of the corner of her eye. The pattern on it made her brows jump.

Isn't the image on this handkerchief a modern cartoon cat? How come it is here?

Seeing her staring at the handkerchief without blinking, the owner of the clothing store quickly took it out and said, "Customer, you have a good eye. This handkerchief is a new style in our store. It was sold out almost as soon as it was put on display. There is only this one left today. Take a look..."

"Boss, what's the pattern on this handkerchief?"

"Hey! I, the boss, spent a lot of money to buy this pattern. Do you want it?"

Tang Qiuyue accepted it and decisively paid for two new sets of clothes and a handkerchief. The three of them left the clothing shop and on the donkey cart on the way back, Tang Qiuyue remained silent.

She remembered that she had drawn some cartoon patterns for Tang Shuyao some time ago, because the little girls were learning embroidery, and she thought that after they learned it, they could sell handkerchiefs.

Who knew, this handkerchief is already on sale!

Who brought the design to the town to sell it?

On the way back, Tang Qiyue was in confusion. Xie Changjin beside her seemed to see what was on her mind, but he did not disturb her and concentrated on driving the donkey cart.

...

It was inevitable that a strange face entering the village would cause a stir. When the villagers heard that it was the cook bought by the Tang family, they were immediately very excited.

"The Tang family is really rich! They even have the money to buy servants to serve them. This is the first time in our Baile Village!"

"Who said she wasn't? Look at the way that old woman looks. She's obviously from a wealthy family. We can't compare to her."

"Even if we compete with others, the Tang family doesn't necessarily want you. We can't even read a single word, ah!"

After introducing Aunt Wu to the whole family, Tang Qiyue went to Tang Shuyao's room holding a handkerchief. Sun Guoguo was there too, and four little girls were embroidering handkerchiefs with needles and thread.

Tang Qiyue pushed the door open and went in. "How's your embroidery training going?"

Tang Shuyao threw herself into her arms and acted coquettishly, "Second sister, we are all learning well, but my finger hurts from the needle prick."

The little girl stretched out her finger in front of Tang Qiyue. There were a few inconspicuous holes on it. Tang Qiyue smiled and patted her hand, "Squeamish."

As she spoke, she came to the table and sat down. There happened to be a few handkerchiefs embroidered by the little girls on the table. Tang Qiyue took a look and saw that the embroidery on the handkerchiefs included flowers and birds of that era, as well as cartoon patterns she had drawn, all mixed together.

She said casually, "It seems that you embroider quite well. You have embroidered so many patterns. Do you want me to take them to the shop to sell? I can buy you some candy after selling them?"

Tang Shuyao's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, yes! Second sister, I want to eat candied haws and mung bean cakes!"

"Okay!" Tang Qiyue agreed, and then took out the handkerchief she bought from her sleeve pocket and put it on the table. "But you have to tell me why the pattern I drew appeared in the clothing store. Who among you brought the pattern?"

The room was silent. Tang Qiyue exuded a frightening sense of oppression. Everyone, including Tang Shuyao, was so frightened that they dared not speak.

However, she still asked doubtfully, "Second sister, did you buy this handkerchief from the clothing store?"

Tang Qiyue nodded slightly.

"But, the patterns we embroidered are all here. Every time we finish embroidering, we never take them out." Tang Shuyao was puzzled. "And, second sister, Nannan and Xiaohua don't know how to use a brush, so they can't draw like this."

Tang Qiyue was stunned for a moment. She had actually forgotten this point. "Then how did this pattern get to the clothing store?"

Could it be that a thief came and stole something?

There is another possibility, but Tang Qiyue doesn't believe it. She doesn't believe that there are people like her in this era. If there is, that person would have found her when she took out the chili sauce!

So, how did the pattern on this handkerchief get to the clothing store? Tang Qiyue stood there thinking for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, so she could only put it aside for the time being.

When Lin came over, she saw that her daughter looked very worried, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Why do you look so sad after going out? Did that kid Jin take advantage of your parents not being around to bully you? Don't be afraid, your mother and your father will go and beat him up for you right away."

Tang Qiyue was amused and quickly stopped Lin who wanted to beat him up, "No, he didn't bully me."

"Hmph! He doesn't even dare to leave him out in the cold! If he dares to bully you, mom will find you a good family. We don't want him!" Tang Qiyue sometimes wondered if her mother was also a cross-dresser, otherwise how could she have such avant-garde ideas?

"No, no, mother! Don't talk nonsense."

"Oh my! Did I protect my daughter? Well, mother is indeed very satisfied with Jin boy. So today I came to ask you, have you thought about what to do with your problem? After all, he is Zhaobao's father!"
