When I woke up the next morning, Jiayi was still in time to wait for me in the little parlour outside my house. While we were eating breakfast, I told everything to my family.

"Can I really?"

Jiayi, who was sitting on the other side of the brick bed, was holding a silver spoon and looking at me with sparkling eyes.

I smiled and nodded at him.

After breakfast, I took my family to Grandmother's place to pay my respects. Grandmother had just finished her breakfast, so I accompanied her to drink a cup of tea. Grandmother wanted to leave me to talk.

"I'll be right back!"

I got up and took my leave.

Grandmother placed the teacup down and said, "There are only two sentences. You can go after hearing them!"

"There's no reason to waste my mother's time."

I still smiled and curtsied, determined to go to the parlour.

Actually, it doesn't matter if the moms wait for a while. The important thing is that I'm teaching them to keep their word. Listening to your mother at the right time is not only a form of self-cultivation, but also a form of respect for the performance of others.

Since he was still young, he would inevitably have to go out to consult with the stewards who had status and were old. If he was burdened by his master's identity and couldn't put down his status to seek advice, it would ruin his future prospects.

Opportunity and challenge often coexisted. Although the future of the family was bumpy, it didn't mean that they wouldn't make a path for themselves. It all depended on the child's actions.

Grandmother saw that I couldn't stop, although her face was somewhat unhappy, but she still served me tea.

This meant that I was sending off my guests. I hurriedly left with family honor.

The mothers had long been waiting in the parlour. When we arrived there, it was a little late. Everyone was standing in the hall greeting each other. When they saw me pulling Jia Yi in, they hurriedly smiled and went forward to pay their respects.

"Mothers, please get up!"

Thinking that I would have to trouble all of them later on, I smiled and nodded to all of them. When the other mothers saw that I was being polite, they became even more cautious and cautious.

I laughed to myself.

Jiayi and I sat in the teacher's chair, one on each side, while the other on the left and right. I sat on the teacher's chair, one on the right and the other on the other side, and we sat on the teacher's chair.

On the black lacquer table, layers of red and shiny dried pork were laid out on a small bamboo basket made of fine bamboo. It looked extremely beautiful as it rested on the black lacquer table. When Jiayi saw this, he wanted to reach out to take it, but I stopped him.

"Take this down and trade it for a plate of pastries!"

I instructed Lan Ya, who was standing to one side.

As soon as the Wan Hai River household came up with this plate, Lan Ling's complexion changed. She kept winking at her, but this Wan Hai River family's man didn't have good eyesight. He only wanted to show off and didn't notice Lan Lan.

Right now, my three brothers and I are in awe of filial piety, and we can't touch any meat or wine at all.

Wan Hai's family still didn't know where his mistake was. He came up to me with a puzzled face and explained: "This was brought back by a servant when he went to Jiangsu. It was made by a famous restaurant. It's clean!"

Wan Haihe is the second in charge of our family in Jiangsu Silk Market.

Behind her, the Green Bandits' face turned red with embarrassment. They did not care about the etiquette and came up to pull Wan Haihe's family along, saying, "Mom, are you asleep? I will accompany you outside to stand and blow the wind to clear your mind! "

This Wan Hai River Family was recommended by Lu Kuang's mother.

"Sigh!" Wan Haihe's family still didn't want to go out with Lu Kui and muttered: "Miss, please say a few words for me!"

Lu Ke felt even more embarrassed and quickly pulled Wan Hai's family out of the house. Lan Li took the piece of dried pork and put it on a plate of chestnut cake.

Liu Shouyi's family hurriedly went over to grab the plate in Lan Li's hands. He then giggled as he walked over and placed the blue and white porcelain plate on the table in front of me. He said with a smile, "These ten thousand families are really too insensible!"

The kitchen manager who had just been replaced, Mother Liu, was a relative of Liu Shouyi's.

"Mama Wan is a rare honest person."

I smiled and took a sip from my teacup.

The meaning behind his words was that in my eyes, this wasn't a mistake.

"It's just that mom is in such a hurry to talk to me. Aren't you afraid that Mama Wan will find out and not bring food to the girls in the young master's room?"

The mothers who were standing behind to watch the commotion immediately burst into laughter.

Liu Shouyi's second daughter, Er Xi, was assigned by me to be a maidservant in my house just a few days ago.

That Liu Shouyi's family also blushed as they hurriedly saluted and retreated into the group of mothers behind them. A young woman's voice came from behind. "Mom loves your son, so don't forget about your daughter!"

When the other mothers heard this, they all burst out into laughter. Some of them had already stood beside Liu Shouyi's home and teased her in a low voice, causing her to blush deeply.

Today, his mother's funeral had nothing to do with the inner chamber. A few days ago, we were very busy, our masters were not relaxed, and the burden on these mothers was not light either. Seeing how lively the mother's words were, I knew that it was their intention to make a ruckus, so I didn't stop them. I just sat in front of them and listened to their jokes.

None of them were stupid enough to enter this room. All the mothers said that the time it would take to make a cup of tea, except for Liu Shouyi's family, all of them were beaming with happiness.

I glanced at the pensive family message as I sat there looking down at them.

If you use your brain to think, you will get something out of it.

"All the mothers are very reputable at home, it has been hard on you all these days."

I smiled and nodded to the other mothers. "Although this seventh star has already passed, the matter regarding our inner chamber cannot be stopped. In the recent days, my mothers have also seen that our family's second young master is always following me. "It's not for anything else, but the old lady and the departed mother are both looking at this child with the same intelligent personality. They want me to help them carry him, so that he won't fall apart in the future."

When all the mothers heard my words, they either laughed and said that I was not tired or praised me for being a well-educated person, and they all looked quite relaxed and happy.

"Usually, my sister will always be at the front. Even if Second Young Master was extremely good, he wouldn't be able to show it. Coincidentally, I have something on my hands recently, so I wanted to push this child out to let him gain experience. It's just that the Second Young Master is still young and is the master. All of the mothers are old, so they have more dignity than the young masters like us. "If all the mothers were right, I would naturally bring him to thank them. If the mothers were to take advantage of their seniority, then they wouldn't be able to keep their old face for the rest of their lives even if they were here with me!"

He heard everyone in the room say in unison, "I dare not!" I hastily smiled and said, "Even I was watched by all the mothers as I was raised. What's more, if there's anything that the mothers are dissatisfied with, just say it to Lan Li!"

All the mothers answered in unison.

I gave Lan Lingyun a meaningful glance, and seeing Lan Ling secretly nod her head, I smiled and left a few words of instruction before I went back to Grandmother's room.

"Miss, do you think it's really okay to leave this matter to Second Young Master?"

Mother Song asked as she supported me.

The green bandit, who had just come out from the house and followed us, couldn't help but smile.

"Sure!" I smiled as I adjusted the tassels that hung from the pouch at my waist. "Why not?"

It's just a matter of settling accounts and sorting things out. It'll be done in a couple of hours." Now he had a few more helpers. Even if he just sat there and watched, he wouldn't do anything wrong. Wen Lian has always been a servant in my courtyard. The basic requirement to enter my office is to know how to make calculations. Right now, I don't have any second class maids who don't know how to make calculations. Even though Ying'er was only a servant girl who served tea in my house, she had always been astute. Furthermore, the maid that I left by Lan Li's side was also the manager maid that I thought highly of for our family.

As a housekeeper, I cannot think everything through. The thing I should do is to give the right person the right thing to do in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After sitting in Grandmother's living room for a while, Hong Chang said that Grandmother was tired and had rested for a while, so she told me to wait.

Looking at the sun hanging in the sky outside and the faint sounds of conversation coming from the inner room, I smiled and sighed, replying to Hong Chang's words.

Maybe it was because she knew she would be leaving the house soon, and her grandmother no longer cared to play the part of a filial mother. Today, I despised ducks for being too fat, and tomorrow, I despised the fact that the window screen didn't light up, so I changed the pattern and caused Lan Li to complain to me in the evening, "Why don't we just send them away as soon as possible?"

I had to wait outside for two hours before Mother Du lifted the curtain from the inside and invited me in.

Seeing her smile at me, I knew she was afraid I would misunderstand. I smiled and nodded at her, then patted her hand as I entered the room.

His grandmother was sitting on the brick bed, happily listening to the servant girl recite the Buddhist scriptures. She was wearing a red silk dress with eight treasures. Her face was flushed red, and her hair was tied up with pearls. Her hair was not messy at all. She didn't look lazy like when she had just woken up.

"Come sit beside me!"

Grandmother smiled benevolently and waved at me.

I smiled and bowed, then sat down on the small stool in front of the kang.

"When do you think I should write to Jing and Master?"

Grandmother held a string of buddhist beads in her hand, creaking and drooping her brows as if she had seen through the mundane world.

I couldn't help but twitch my mouth.

Grandmother's words seemed to be asking for my opinion, but she was actually just asking when I would give her the money!

"You know how busy our family is these days. Sun Daughter also picked up a broom and threw away her rake. We still need you to look after her!"

Even though I was angry with him, what I said was the truth.

I've been too busy these days to collect the money for her.

The kind and amiable grandmother's expression suddenly changed. With a flip of her eyelids, she revealed a stern expression.

"What do you mean by that!"

Grandmother suddenly seemed to lose the patience to deal with me. She threw the buddhist beads onto the brick bed and raised her eyebrows.

"Right now, our family is in the midst of all these troublesome matters. It's not like you don't know about it. Father does not know where he is now, and now that you have gone away, there is not even a single elder in the family.

Although Grandmother holds the title of an elder, but in the end, I still have the money, so there's no need for me to be too modest.

My grandmother's greatest use to me was that she was an elder of the family, and that she could help me with certain occasions when I was not in a position to do so. However, based on her current attitude, she wouldn't even be willing to stay home peacefully, let alone make her work for me.

Sometimes, I can't help but miss the time when I went out with my grandmother to dinner, whether or not everything is just pretending to be my daughter.

My grandmother and I fell into a silent confrontation.

Hong Chang tremblingly gave me a cup of tea, and I smiled as I sipped on the tea.

People like Grandmother rarely got seven inches in the palm of their hands.

It's just that I didn't dare to force her too much.

It was said that her grandfather was an extremely good businessman and that he had established an estate for her without a doubt. In addition, with her father's filial piety, not to mention two hundred thousand, even half a million grandmothers would be able to afford it.

Who in the world would complain about having too much money?

"I just checked the calendar. It will be a good day in three days!"

Grandmother let out a long sigh and collapsed on the pillow behind her. "I left a long time ago, you youngsters should have some peace and quiet."

If it was because she was a little tired and I felt what was called pity for the elderly, then I couldn't care less about this family.

"I think you should wait until the anniversary!"

I respectfully smiled in reply to my grandmother's words.

Grandmother, who was lying on her side on the bed, gave me a deep look and pursed her lips.

"Then wait for your father to come back!"

I can understand my grandmother's desire to move out as soon as possible.

According to his father's respectful and filial attitude towards his grandmother, he didn't seem to know that his grandmother was not his biological mother. If one day my father knows all about his past life, he might not let my grandmother out of the house. At that time, my grandmother might even have to rely on me.

That was why Grandmother and I retained our last bit of respect.

We need each other.

I maintained a respectful smile and nodded. "You're right!"

Grandmother saw that she wouldn't be able to go to that quiet place for a while, so she didn't bother nagging me. She shut her eyes and waved at me. "You can go. After speaking for half a day, I'm tired too!"

Mother Du quickly took two steps forward to see me off.

I smiled and shook my head at her, still sitting on my grandmother's kang and nagging her.

"Speaking of which, you should know about this. A few months ago, my teahouse was built with a second floor, and it only cost three to five taels of silver. All the furniture has been prepared." Two hundred thousand silver coins was more than enough to buy a four-way house. Coincidentally, there's a family next to ours with the surname Zhou. Originally, he opened a medicine shop on East Main Street, but in recent days, because the family head is old, he wants to return to his hometown and is in a hurry to sell his house. According to his grandson's daughter, 120,000 taels was enough! The remaining eighty thousand was more than enough to demolish the house and rebuild it. "At that time, we will open a corner on the wall at the east side. Passing through it would also be extremely convenient …"

I was talking to my grandmother about the building of the abbey when my grandmother's loud snores came from the kang.

Mother Du quickly carried a bed from one side and draped it over her grandmother.

Grandmother did not move.

I couldn't help but laugh.

I think everything I just said entered my grandmother's ears.

Grandmother should have thought more about her actions from now on.
