A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

In the past few days, Lin He'er has had a lot of free time. Besides doing housework at home and chatting with the shop next door, she also went to the carpenter to order a signboard for her shop.

Lin He'er had become familiar with the people at the shop next door because she had greeted them a few days ago.

The shop mainly sells handmade clothing. In addition to clothes, they also make custom-made clothing for all four seasons for wealthy families. Lin He'er felt that her shop's business and their business complemented each other. Therefore, she was particularly warm and welcoming to the couple who ran the shop.

That day, Lin He'er had just returned from chatting at the shop next door when she saw two oxcarts coming down the street. Looking at the people sitting on them, she couldn't help but feel delighted.

When Li and Cao'er, who were sitting in the carriage, saw Lin He'er, they waved in this direction. When the oxcart came closer, the two of them got off the carriage together and bowed to Lin He'er.

"I've seen the girl!" Grass exclaimed happily.

"Cao'er, you should call her Madam now," Li Shi corrected.

Yes, yes, hello Madam!

Lin He'er smiled and nodded.

Thank you both for your hard work. Did you bring everything?

"Yes, Madam. We've brought them all. The old lady was worried that it would be troublesome for your shop to keep ordering from the village, so she had us prepare a lot in advance. We won't need to order from the village for a while."

Besides these, the old lady also brought you some food and clothing, which are in the car behind.

Mother still thinks of me the most. Let's take the things back to the shop first.

This time, when they came to the county town, Lin hired a carriage company for transportation. Now, two drivers helped the family unload all the goods from the carriage into the shop. Lin He'er paid the fare and politely saw them off.

Now that Granny Li and Cao'er are here, I'm no longer bored.

Lin He'er pulled Li Shi and Cao'er along, and the three of them returned to the backyard. "We'll stay at the shop for now."

You and Cao'er will live in the room on the west side from now on, and I'll live in the room on the east side. For now, it'll just be the three of us in the shop.

Li: Madam, doesn't your son-in-law stay at the shop?

My husband lives in the county school. The county school has a rule that all students must live in the school so that they can focus on their studies. They can go home for one day every ten days.

Because of this rule, and to avoid suspicion, Lin He'er also sent Meng Xing to the county school. Coincidentally, the county school stipulated that each person could bring one page, so Meng Xing temporarily stayed by Wen Yuning's side as a page.

You've been traveling by oxcart for two days, you must be tired. Put your things down and go inside to rest. Lin He'er urged the two to go and rest, then went to check what her mother had brought.

I looked through the things the Lin family brought; there were quite a lot. Mother must have heard that living in the county town was not easy. Not only did she bring rice and grain from home for me, but she also made clothes especially for me and Wen Yuning.

Looking at the pile of things on the ground, Lin He'er couldn't help but feel moved.

Carefully sorting and organizing everything, I took the food to the kitchen and the clothes back inside. I also placed the bamboo basket separately in the front shop.

After the Li couple rested for a while, Lin He'er quickly finished packing her things.

"Why didn't you call us, Madam?" Li asked hurriedly when she saw Lin He'er working alone.

I've been so free these past few days, I'm just taking this as exercise! You haven't eaten yet, have you? Here, take the money.

You two go out and get a bowl of noodles, and while you're at it, take a stroll around Kaiyang County. Speaking of which, I think Granny Li was from Kaiyang County.

Replying to Madam, this servant is indeed from Kaiyang County, but I grew up in the town and have never been to the county seat before, so I am not familiar with this place.

After you two have eaten today, take your time to explore the county town and familiarize yourselves with its layout. We'll be handing out flyers on the streets tomorrow.

"What's a flyer?" Cao'er interjected.

I can't explain it to you in one sentence. Let's go eat first, and I'll tell you both in detail when we come back from shopping.

After leaving the shop, Li and Cao'er strolled around the county town. When they got tired, they ate a meal. After eating, Li and Cao'er continued to look around and inquire about various things.

Lin He'er was tidying up the shelves in the shop.

Opening the bamboo baskets revealed them filled with bags, all packed tightly together. Each basket contained bags of a different kind. They had truly brought every type they could possibly have at home.

Lin He'er arranged the bags according to their different styles and placed them on the counter one by one. As she watched the shelves slowly fill with goods, Lin He'er's heart also felt full.

Summer is almost here, and besides opening the shop, I also need to prepare new bags for the Xu family for the next season.

I don't know whether I will contact Manager Xu again or whether the Xu family will send someone to discuss it with me.

After tidying up the shop, Lin He'er closed it and went to an embroidery shop on the street to buy some crochet hooks and colored ropes, preparing in advance for making new bags.

After buying the embroidery, Lin He'er returned to the shop. Since Li and her husband had not yet returned, Lin He'er did not close the shop. She took some hemp paper and a pen from the backyard and designed the pattern for the next batch of bags at the front counter.

As before, two copies will be made, and this time we will draw the summer version of the bag.

Summer bags must feature lotus flowers in their design. Next are pomegranate blossoms, peonies, gardenias, water lilies, roses, and finally, crape myrtle.

Actually, there should be many other flowers blooming in summer, but based on my knowledge, I can only draw these few at the moment.

With a pen in hand, starting with lotus flowers, Lin He'er sketched out various bags on the paper one by one.

This was meticulous work; she had to think long and hard before she could find inspiration for each flower. By the time the Li couple returned from outside, Lin He'er had only finished five paintings.

I couldn't finish the picture book in an entire afternoon. There are still three pages left, and I'll have to work on them slowly after dinner.

"Madam, we're heading back." As soon as Cao'er got back to the shop, she complained of being tired. She had walked for half the afternoon, and all the interest she had when she was shopping had vanished.

Granny Li was very conscientious in her work. She had basically visited every corner of the city, and the two of them had even been to the county school.

"Sit down and rest!" Lin He'er hadn't expected Li Shi to be so meticulous. She had actually completed the task she had been given in just one afternoon.

With such a person by her side, Lin He'er felt that no matter what she did, as long as she put her heart into it, she should be able to accomplish it.

"Thank you both for your hard work. I'll cook tonight, let's treat ourselves to a good meal." Lin He'er waved her hand and walked towards the kitchen.

How could I let Madam do it? I'll do it myself. Madam Li hurriedly got up and followed Lin He'er to the kitchen, glaring at Cao'er along the way.

Seeing Li Mama's expression, Cao'er rubbed her sore legs and went into the kitchen as well.

Our kitchen isn't big enough to hold so many people, so you two should get out of here quickly. Lin He'er urged them to leave.

This servant will assist you. Li Shi doesn't want to go out, so Cao'er will stay in the stove.

Lin He'er couldn't persuade the two, so the three of them squeezed into the stove, one person tending the fire, one person cooking, and the other person picking and washing the vegetables.

However, the three of them were busy, and the meal was indeed prepared quickly. Tonight, Lin He'er made pickled fish and stir-fried eggs with scallions.

The staple foods were steamed buns mixed with bread and white porridge.

Once the meal was ready, the three of them sat down at the table without any distinction between master and servant, and happily finished their meal.

However, after the meal, Li made it clear that she could never eat at the same table with her master again, and that the family rules must be changed.

"Alright, alright," Lin He'er agreed, seeing Li's serious face.

The reason I brought Li here was so that she could guide and help me. I should listen to her advice when necessary.

In Li's words, we must all abide by the rules from now on so that we don't become a laughing stock in front of outsiders!

Lin He'er also agreed with Li's words.
