Lü Qingyou nodded, took it, and sat there looking at it.

Du Juan brought over tea and snacks.

When Lü Qingyou is reading, she doesn't like others to serve her.

Everything was prepared, and all the maids left.

That evening, Zhang invited us to her place for dinner.

Lü Qingyou went with her maid.

"Qingyou, you don't have enough maids. Let me get you some more!"

Zhang looked at it and asked a question.

She originally relied on those wealthy families to get all this done, and now she's lost two second-class maids. This is just too embarrassing.

“Mother, we don’t need these. The people around me are the ones I’m used to… It’s easier for me to use them. With so many people walking around in the house, it’s annoying to watch.”

Lu Qingyou refused. After the incident with Huamei, Lu Qingyou realized that finding a loyal and sincere maid really depended on luck.

In short, she was quite good at using the three maids she had.

"Then double the monthly allowance for all the maids in your room."

Seeing this, Zhang knew better than to say anything more.

"Thank you, mother!"

Lü Qingyou quickly thanked him.

"Thank you, ma'am."

The maids also expressed their gratitude.

"Alright, come and eat! Wait a minute, I have some good news for you."

Zhang smiled and picked up her chopsticks.

"What good news is it?"

Instead of picking up chopsticks, Lü Qingyou grabbed Zhang's elbows with both hands, determined to get to the bottom of it.

"You little brat!"

Helpless, Zhang reached out and gently tapped her forehead.

"What exactly is it?"

Lu Qingyou asked excitedly again.

"Our family has been selected as a royal merchant."

Zhang couldn't stop smiling.

There is a significant difference between merchants and imperial merchants.

"This is wonderful!!"

Lü Qingyou clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling.

"Yes, what makes me happiest is... now our family is on par with the Feng family, so you won't suffer when you marry into their family."

Zhang said smugly.

"Mother...Brother Xuan Yi isn't that kind of person!"

Lü Qingyou looked at Zhang Shi helplessly.

"Something is better than nothing!!"

Zhang knew that Xuan Yi was good, but this one... well, it must be even better.

Zhang didn't know how to put it, but in short, when people are of equal social standing, marrying someone of equal social standing is always the right thing to do.

"So, is Second Brother also busy with these things because he didn't eat at home?"

Lu Qingyou asked again, releasing Zhang's elbow.

"No, your second brother has disappeared... I received a letter from your father about this. Judging from the date the letter was written, they should be home in about a month."

Zhang's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

"When they get back, we'll have a proper celebration."

"Let's have a little celebration now."

Lü Qingyou held up a wine glass filled with sweet fruit wine.

"it is good!"

Zhang had this intention, otherwise she wouldn't have called Qingyou here for dinner.

The mother and daughter clinked glasses, drank a glass of wine together, and then smiled at each other.

After spending some time with Zhang, Lü Qingyou finally left.

Back in his room, still slightly tipsy, he was helped by the maids to wash up, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt like something had happened.
