Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Madam Xue glanced at her with amusement, then turned to Madam Chen and said, "This is my third daughter-in-law. She usually takes care of all the affairs of the mansion. Although she can get some things done, she is a bit eccentric."

Old Mrs. Chen could tell that Old Madam Xue was extremely fond of the Third Lady.

"Such a large mansion, so many servants, and everything is kept in perfect order. If we can only get a few things done, then wouldn't we be useless?"

Before Old Madam Xue could speak, Mrs. Qiao said, "Old Madam Chen is indeed discerning. Did you hear that, Mother? Old Madam Chen praised me for my good housekeeping."

This sentence made everyone laugh. Old Madam Xue tapped Zhou's forehead and said, "You, you, how can you be so thick-skinned?"

Everyone walked into the main hall with smiles on their faces, and a fragrant and warm breeze blew in their faces. Before the Chen family members could react, a little maid came forward, took off their cloaks and warm capes, replaced them with hand warmers that had been newly loaded with warm charcoal, and led them to their seats.

Then the maid brought them flower juice perfume, asked them to wash their hands, and applied moisturizing ointment on their hands, and then brought them hot soup one by one.

The Chen family did not move for a moment, but just watched silently. When they saw Mrs. Xue take a few sips, they raised their cup and took a few sips.

After serving Madam Xue her soup and seeing everyone put down their bowls, Mrs. Qiao said, "Mother and the distinguished guests from the Chen family must have been very tired after traveling so far. Out of filial piety, I should let Mother and the distinguished guests rest for a while. However, out of etiquette, the younger generation of the family should greet the guests first and kowtow. So, I'll trouble Mother and the distinguished guests to stay awake for a while and accept our courtesy as guests."

The Chen family did not know the etiquette of this noble family. Although they had quietly asked the nanny when they came, they were still a little nervous at this moment.

Madam Xue comforted Mrs. Chen, "Don't worry, elder sister. You are guests, and it is normal for the younger generation to meet guests. Moreover, we are godparents, so it is only natural for relatives to get to know each other."

"You've got to be my mother. Look at me. I only thought of you as honored guests, and forgot that we are now godparents. Now I can relax a little."

With Qiao's joke, the Chen family felt a lot more relieved.

Madam Xue said with a smile, "Why don't you go and call them over so they can recognize each other as relatives? Stop playing dumb in front of me."

"Mother, you must be disgusted with me, right? Never mind. I'll go right away."

Having said this, he walked out and told his maid to pass on the message.

Soon the masters of each household in the mansion appeared in the hall. The maids put down their cushions and they kowtowed to Old Madam Xue in turn.

Mrs. Qiao then introduced the Chen family to the girls in her family, and they greeted each other, making it quite lively.

The Xue family is indeed a wealthy family, and the upbringing of the family members is first-class. These young ladies from wealthy families are all kind and polite to the Chen family, without showing any alienation.

"They are all my granddaughters, and they are all quite well-behaved."

"Sister, you are so lucky. I see that the girls in this mansion are not only well-behaved, but each one is like a fairy. I can't love them enough."

"They don't deserve such praise at all. They're only slightly more clever."

The two of them sat there chatting about family matters, and it was enjoyable to look at the young and pretty girls below.

Qiao accompanied Li and Tan. "My second sister-in-law is not at home today. It's because my mother-in-law has been ill for a long time and she is afraid she will not be able to make it through the New Year. I hope you will forgive me if we are not able to provide you with a good reception."

Why would Li and Tan choose such a gift? As soon as they entered the city, they saw servants taking Xue Mingyu away, and they knew something was wrong.

Because of the year-end travels and gift-giving, Qiao was indispensable, so he sat with her for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

Seeing that her grandmother and Old Lady Chen were tired, Xue Mingxiang asked the sisters to leave. She took them to the guest house and settled them there, saying only that they should rest for a while and come back for dinner.

After the people left, the family sat down and talked.

"Wow, this really opened my eyes. What a rich and luxurious scene! I am lucky enough to see it."

At this point, Li still felt it was unreal.

Tan sighed and said, "Me too. I thought Xue's house was already amazing, but after seeing it today~"

Tan didn't say anything else after that, just kept shaking her head.

Old Mrs. Chen was also silent. She didn't know why Old Mrs. Xue's house was like this... For a moment, she didn't know how to express it.

Compared to the restlessness of the three adults, the three Qingke sisters seemed much calmer.

"You three are braver than us."

Facing Old Lady Chen's praise, Qing Ke said, "I'm not any more patient than Grandma. I'm just pretending to be more serious to avoid making mistakes and getting laughed at."

"I'm not, I was just so shocked I couldn't speak. Wow, this is really a wealthy family, it takes half a day to walk through a garden."

Qing Ning, this is the truth and not an exaggeration.

"I was only looking at the fragrant flowers and rare trees in the garden."

Ever since Qingzhu became Mr. Ma's disciple, he has been studying very hard.

The three of them all smiled as they listened to what the three sisters said.

After resting for half an hour, a maid came to tell him that dinner was served and invited the guest to come.

By the time they had packed up, everyone from the Xue family had already arrived. A few of them were inevitably nervous and kept the host waiting.

Madam Xue did not let them feel uneasy and quickly asked them to take their seats.

Although it was a welcoming party, since they were godparents, the dinner also invited people from the West Mansion, which made it even more lively.

Because there was no elder in the West Mansion, Duke Xue and his wife were considered the superiors.

After the meal, they led everyone to pay their respects. Because they were younger, the Chen family received quite a few gifts, so naturally the Chen family also gave quite a few gifts in return, which had been prepared long ago.

As for the Yu family, after they separated in the afternoon, Meng Er and others sent Old Man Yu back home, which meant that the old man woke up and had dinner before returning.

He went to Xue's house with Wu Yong and brought back the cotton products made of green lemons and other items to the palace.

"Aunt, why are you staring at this dress for so long?"

On the way back to the palace, Meng Er had been looking at Wu Yong for a long time.

Wu Yong was only concerned with stroking the cotton coat in his hand, and didn't even notice Meng Er calling him several times.

"Aweng!"

Meng Er raised his voice and shouted again, and Wu Yong responded in a daze.

"Second Prince, what's the matter?"

Meng Er repeated, "Why are you staring at this cotton-padded jacket so intently, old man?"

"I am so happy and touched. I never thought that this little girl from the Chen family still remembered me. She even made such a precious thing especially for me."

He saw that His Majesty and His Majesty were given only a cotton coat, and although his vest was only two sleeves shorter than His Majesty's.

Meng Er thought to himself: That's right, this girl got so much cotton, and she didn't save any of it except for the one she gave to her father and mother.
