  Uh...

  Looking at the lovely woman under the red plum tree, strong and stubborn, Jiuniang's mouth opened in surprise.

  So bold, yet thinking is so simple.

  I don't know what Weiyuan Wang looks like or what his personality is like, but because of the Wen family's enthusiasm and because of everyone's rumors, I want to marry him. Isn't this too blind?

  "Sister doesn't know, actually... I've actually met Weiyuan Wang once..." It was as if she had seen through Jiujie's thoughts, and Wujiemei blushed and continued, "Two years ago on the Lantern Festival, Second Madam took me and Sijie to watch the lanterns. Suddenly, two mad water buffalo rushed out onto the street, causing chaos everywhere. Second Madam quickly led the way, protecting Sijie and my pregnant sister as they walked away. I was left behind, weak and small, and was trampled under the hooves of the cattle. Just as all hope seemed lost, a man saved me, easily subduing the two ferocious beasts and telling me not to be afraid. It wasn't until later that I found out that man was Weiyuan Wang."

  Ah...

  It's no wonder, after all there was such a predestined relationship.

  A weak and helpless girl was abandoned by her family, but at such a critical moment, she felt grateful to the person who saved her life.

  Adding to this the family's pursuit and admiration, it is no different from pouring oil on fire, pouring out the soft thoughts in the heart of this girl who has always been self-willed.

  Well, everything seems so reasonable now!

  However, the five sisters seem to have overlooked two issues. Firstly, in this feudal society with strict etiquette, parental orders and matchmaker's words are not something you can just disobey; secondly, Weiyuan Wang is already married, so having these thoughts isn't that obviously wanting to be a mistress... uh, no, in this era it should be called a concubine.

  She seemed like she should discuss these two issues with her fifth cousin, but looking at that bashful and sweet appearance, she didn't know how to bring it up...

  "9th sister, 5th sister, come quickly, Yun Fu Zi is about to arrive!" Just then, little eleven rushed out and shouted at the two.

  The two of them quickly left...

  Time flies by quickly. The Wen household is busy yet calm with the approaching marriage of Third Sister, while Ninth Sister is calm yet busy with shop matters.

  Jiang Yuxing returned from Dongsheng Prefecture and set off for Jiangnan in just a few days, leaving the matter of opening the shop to be handled by Madam Yan alone.

  As for this, Jiujie only felt that it was not bad at all, because Jiang Yuxing indeed had a bit of unorthodox boldness, and his presence was strong. From time to time, he would make contact with her, and she didn't want the good image she had established over the years to be damaged.

  Jiang naturally didn't trust her two daughters to deal with the old slicker Yan, but one was inconvenient to intervene, and the other was that San Jie's marriage was not good for her to advance, so she let Cui Mei assist Jiu Jie.

  Of course it's Jiuniang, because Shijiu didn't take this to heart from the start, she just thought it was fresh and followed along for a few days, then ignored it afterwards.

  Jiang said she, but she still had a lot to say, "This whole day is more interesting than those poems and songs, besides, I'm only this old, my fourth sister is even older than me by one year, and yet Second Aunt doesn't pressure her like this, others have two shops under their control."

  Chiang thought for a moment and let it go.

  And as for Ninth Sister, as a technical personnel, she is indispensable.

  But soon, her sense of superiority as a modern person vanished into thin air, because she found that the wisdom of these ancient people was truly not to be underestimated.

  She secretly handed over the formulas for handmade crayons and soap to the master craftsmen in the Yan family workshop, originally planning to wage a protracted war to help them repeatedly explain and prepare.

  But unexpectedly those masters just sent someone to ask a question, that is whether the raw material of soap can use beef tallow.

  Uh...

  After a few days, Cuimei handed the finished wax pen to Jiuniang.

  Looking at the crayon wrapped in delicate aluminum foil and covered with a bamboo tube on top, Jiuniang felt a deep sense of frustration again.

  Fortunately, she never thought of relying on some three-legged cat skills in this alien world to make a big deal, wise!

  Like those who refine steel and bake glass, she is not skilled in such profound techniques. She'd better just be a gentle lady, putting more effort into her embroidery.

  But she also learned a lot from Cui Mei, who always had a calm and gentle smile on her face.

  Cui Mei was originally named Qiao Er, a niece of an accountant in the Jiang family. She is down-to-earth and steady, able to write and calculate. After the senior maid who served by Madam Jiang's side got married, she had her brought over to serve under Mistress Yan.

  This Cui Mei mainly helped Jiang's family manage dowry and accounts, and was one of Jiang's most trusted confidants.

  In the small shop of her ninth sister in her previous life, there were only some simple income and expenses, which really couldn't be called an account. But she learned to read accounts and keep accounts with these down-to-earth ancient people in this alien world, and even picked up the abacus skills she had learned many years ago.

  "Miss, Auntie Xu has arrived."

  The sound of the green apricot made Jiu Si and Cui Mei, who were carefully checking the accounts at the table inside the house, look up involuntarily.

  "Oh..." Jiujier was taken aback.

  "Jiuniang has been busy for half a day, take a rest, I'll go back first!" Na Cui immediately stood up and bid farewell.

  "Alright!" Jiujier smiled and nodded, her heart involuntarily adding another point of praise for Cui Mei.

  "Miss, you must be tired. This is a sweet potato and red date cake that my aunt just made. Try some while it's still hot."

  Qing Xing brought in Xu Ayi, who was carrying a food box. As soon as Xu Ayi entered the house, she immediately opened the food box, and the sweet aroma of the food instantly filled the entire room.

  Jiujie's appetite was stirred up and she immediately asked Qing'an to bring out some food to share with everyone.

  In the warm glow of sunset, she savored a bite of that sweet and soft cake, then took a sip of the warm and fragrant lycium tea brought by Qing Tao. Jiujie couldn't help but narrow her eyes in satisfaction.

  Looking at the ninth sister who was showing a cute expression like a kitten, Auntie Xu couldn't help but smile lovingly, but soon after she straightened her face and said in a low voice, "Miss, your aunt asked me to bring you a message."

  "Huh?"

  "Auntie said don't get too close to Fifth Sister!"

  "Oh, I know!"

  Jiuer smiled and said, "So that's what it was. Xu Ayi's serious expression just now really gave me a fright."

  Since Merlin had a heart-to-heart talk, the fifth sister and she became very close, of course, no longer mentioning that marriage stuff, but changed her previous solitary nature, and would often call her out for things.

  Her aunt must be afraid that she would also learn from her fifth sister's strong and proud personality, but how could that be?

  "Miss, don't be fooled by Wu Jie's seemingly proper behavior during this time. Who knows what she's actually thinking? She's abnormal and suspicious." Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Aunt Xiu became anxious.

  "Oh, Auntie, you... what does this mean?"

  Jiujie'er heard this and immediately furrowed her brow. Listening to the tone, it seemed like Yiniang and Xu Guigu had discovered something...

  ……
