Moonlight Exposes the Works of a Concubine's Daughter Marrying into Royalty The Thoughts of a Nineteen-Year-Old Girl Making Crayons!

  " Ninth sister, come - lean against me, help me warm up my hands, I've been carrying this load all night."

  In the Great Yue, people deeply believed in Buddhism. In high society circles, there was a saying that younger generations would copy scriptures for their elders to pray for blessings. Women in the inner chambers took great pride in receiving scriptures copied by hand by their sons and grandsons.

  So after Chiang received the things from Ninth Sister, his complexion obviously improved, and there was also a bit more sincerity in his smile.

  Cui Qiao quickly got up and brought over a stool.

  Jiujie sat down, her sharp eyes catching the pouting mouth of Shijie on one side, as well as her admiring gaze.

  She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "One's skills are refined through diligence and ruined by indulgence." This is the truth, unfortunately her own daughter doesn't understand, of course what's most important is that it makes things difficult for herself...

  "By the way, tenth sister, what did Master Su whisper to you after class yesterday?" Ninth Sister asked, helping Jiang Shi with her cards, seemingly careless.

  "There's nothing else..." Upon hearing this, Shijie immediately proudly lifted her beautiful small face, "Just say that I've made progress recently and let me work harder to practice."

  "Oh..." Jiū jiě looked at Shí jiě with a glance, didn't say much, but her face revealed obvious envy and embarrassment.

  The room fell silent in an instant, with only a faint "sizzling" sound coming from the silver threads of carbon in the brazier.

  The tenth sister lowered her head and worked seriously, while the ninth sister continued to feel the cards...

  "Hehe, it's settled!" Not long after, Jiang's smiling voice broke the silence in the room, "Jiuniang's luck is really good, this silver ingot is yours as a reward!"

  "Thank you, Mother!" Ninth Sister hastily said.

  "Oh no, oh no......" Cuicui, Cuimei and Zhou Mama's face all fell in an exaggerated manner.

  "Alright, I've just gotten into the swing of things!" Jiang smiled and scolded a few people, but then turned to Jiu Si Er and said, "Come on, help me with two more, let these black-hearted slaves cry."

  "Eldest sister, spare me..."

  Zhou Mama immediately shouted loudly, Cui Mei and Cui Qiao also made gestures of pounding their chests and stamping their feet, the atmosphere in the house suddenly became exceptionally lively and festive.

  "By the way, Mother, Elder Aunt hasn't come for many days, has she?" After playing a couple more rounds, Ninth Sister suddenly asked a seemingly careless question.

  "Ah, indeed!" Jiang replied lightly, looking at Jiu Si Er.

  Jiuer watched the bright candle flames burning on the censer, and Jiang's eyes flickered slightly as she continued, "Your eldest aunt is a businesswoman, busy with hard work every day, how can she compare to our carefree life?"

  "Oh..." The ninth sister lowered her head and fell silent.

  After playing for a while, Jiang said she was tired, and the ninth sister and tenth sister each put on their cloaks to prepare to go back.

  "Cui Qiao, bring me that hairpin the old lady gave me last year and give it to Jiu Sister. Look, she's already such a big girl, but she still doesn't know how to dress herself up properly." Jiang Shi said at this time.

  Cui Qiao responded and went, soon bringing out a hairpin made of crimson silver-plated jade.

  "Thanks, Mom!" The ninth sister didn't decline either, smiling as she accepted it.

  "Mother is so biased. That day I begged for a long time, you couldn't bear to give it to me, but now that Ninth Sister has come, you take it out." Tenth Sister pouted as soon as she saw it.

  The ninth sister smiled but did not speak.

  "You have so many hair accessories and ornaments, now you only give one to your sister, and yet you still follow her around." Jiang Shi looked at Jiu Siao'er for a moment, then turned back to scold Shi Siao'er.

  The tenth sister didn't say anything anymore...

  "Miss, you're really clever. This hairpin is so exquisite, it must be worth a lot. Tomorrow, we'll let Aunt Xu pawn it and then Uncle's debt will be settled... Hmm? Miss, what's wrong with you... You... Qing Xiang..."

  As soon as they returned to the house, Qingtao was excitedly chattering away, but when she turned around and saw Jiujiu, she found that her own daughter didn't seem happy at all. Her face was stern and serious, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

  The little girl immediately shut her mouth, looked at Jiu Si'er, and then looked pleadingly at Qing Xiang on the side.

  Qing Xing also looked confused and shook her head.

  She couldn't understand why the young lady had taken the scriptures she had painstakingly copied to Third Madame's place, and even more so, she couldn't comprehend why Miss was not delighted after exchanging the scriptures for a hairpin.

  Could it be that she didn't dare to pawn the hairpin because it was given by her elders? Hmm, there's a possibility. Although their own daughter is young, she handles matters carefully and never easily gives others leverage.

  But... she really didn't understand the young lady's behavior tonight, could it be that the young lady who went to the third madam's place tonight wasn't after this hairpin, but something else?

  Qing Xiang's puzzled gaze involuntarily fell on Jiu Jie'er's face.

  She really guessed it right, Jiu Niang's trip to San Furen's place today was indeed not for this hairpin.

  It's been more than a month since that day when I gave him those three cotton cores, but Yan hasn't come again.

  Yan never came again, but within this month, the technology of the three-cotton wick had spread widely. Now all the candles sold on the market are three-cotton wicks, which is exclusive to the Jiang family.

  The Jiang family also promoted those handmade candles and won many people's favor with their unique ideas.

  With these two advanced technologies, it quickly overwhelmed its competitor Wangjia and dominated the wax industry.

  But the provider of this technique was thoroughly forgotten, and these were also her secret entrustments to Aunt Xu.

  But today she brought it up on her own because of an urgent need for money, and that Jiang's casual remark was enough to brush it off, and later he even used a hairpin to get rid of her.

  Is she being deceived and raised in a deep boudoir with ignorance, or has she been determined to be this helpless and dependent little woman who can't stir up any waves?

  Or maybe it's both!

  Alas...

  It seems that those time-travelers who were previously seen in ancient times, dropping in like paratroopers with an extra 2,000 years of wisdom, were all just bluffing.

  These ancient people are not simple at all. Some people say that the ancients were honest and didn't cheat me, but it should be that they haven't encountered those with deep minds and clever tricks yet?

  But...

  Jiujie's gaze fell on the candle burning slowly again, she wasn't completely helpless.

  "Green apricot, green peach, help me get pen and ink!" After frowning and thinking for a moment, Ninth Sister finally spoke up.

  "Uh..."

  "Hurry up!" Jiuniang urged the two of them.

  Things were quickly brought over, and Jiu Jie'er picked up her pen, sometimes deep in thought, sometimes writing swiftly, and soon several lines of elegant large characters appeared on the paper.

  "Miss, what's this...what are you going to do?" Qing An looked at the paper for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask out loud.

  "What's up? Coloring!"

  "Candle... pen?"

  ……
