When Ruan Jiading came back, he saw that the family was packing up their boxes and boxes, so he immediately asked his wife what happened. The second wife of Ruan Jiading explained the reason: "Instead of others chasing us away, it is better for us to leave first."

"So that's how it is. I don't think it's a big deal. You just like to overthink it. If you ask me, although Mi Niang acted rashly, she did save the old lady's life. If we just walk away like this, we'll have done a good thing, but people will think we did something wrong. Even if we really want to leave, we should do it with dignity."

Ruan Jiading had a different opinion. Mi Niang felt that what her father said made sense. Moreover, if they did not live here, they would have to find a middleman to find the next buyer before they could move there directly.

Just as the family was discussing the matter, they heard someone outside say that Mrs. Li was coming, and Ruan Jiading hurriedly went out.

Mrs. Ding and Mi Niang looked at each other, their expressions were very calm. To a certain extent, women are actually better able to withstand pressure than men.

"I'm sorry to have scared you. Our old lady has woken up. If it weren't for Sister Mi today, I don't know what would have happened!" Mrs. Li said very politely.

Mrs. Ding was delighted and said, "I hope the old lady is safe. Sister Mi came back today and told me that she was in trouble. I said that if the old lady was frightened, we would not be able to live here anymore."

Mi Niang also stood up and bowed: "Madam, although I had to act in an emergency, I did destroy the old lady's beloved koi. I felt bad about it, so I came back to paint a picture. I originally planned to give it to the old lady to express my apology, but since you are here, I asked you to pass it on for me."

As he said this, he asked his maid to bring him a picture of brocade carp in a lotus pond. The brocade carp in the picture were all shining with golden light. There was also a verse next to it, which read: "How can you help sentient beings to gain supreme wisdom and quickly achieve Buddhahood if you always think like this?"

Mrs. Li was originally a little angry because her husband actually wanted to marry the daughter of the Ruan family to her daughter-in-law. Now she came here and heard from the maid that the Ruan family was leaving. She didn't want to go and let the two families tear each other apart. She let the Ruan family leave perfectly without hurting their feelings.

Now, after looking at this painting and the verse, I suddenly realized what my husband said.

Perhaps, talent is the most important thing.

She praised you three times and said with a smile, "You are so decisive at such a young age. Our master is praising you today. I only heard that you are a good painter before, but I didn't expect you to be so good. This verse is very well written. I hope that the girls in our provincial capital will hold some poetry gatherings and invite me to judge. I think the verses are secondary, and the truth behind it is the statement of the principle."

Mi Niang smiled and said, "In this world, favors and benefits are mostly unreliable. If you want others to respect you, you must have real abilities."

That evening, Mrs. Li sent a lot of high-quality satin window screens and many exquisite utensils in the name of her proper firefighting.

This incident made Ruan Jiading realize something, and he couldn't help but say: "I have done such a great favor, but the Li family has only treated me like this. Now, because of her talent, Mi Niang is treated so courteously in the Li family."

Mi Niang smiled and said, "It is true that there are people in this world who are grateful and repay favors, but for a family like the Li family, so many people are willing to show their kindness to them. I heard yesterday that one of the old lady's maids broke her arm in order to save the old lady. Therefore, they care more about whether you are a person they need to make friends with."

Ruan Jiading understood and from then on he focused on his business and no longer worried about other things.

It was also said that Old Madam Li in the mansion was very angry, but she calmed down after seeing Mi Niang's painting.

After Li Guan passed the county examination and became a scholar, Mrs. Li asked her to learn pipa every day.

Gradually, she became a frequent visitor to Madam Li's place and became familiar with Aunt Luzhu and Aunt Sun.

"Miss Mi, if you have time, please draw a few for us."

"Of course I have no problem painting for you, but you have to give me a few days. I have a very hard-to-buy paint. Once I buy it, I will paint for you."

Luzhu smiled and said, "You are confused."

"What?"

Seeing that Mi Niang was puzzled, Aunt Sun smiled and said, "We have a professional in purchasing at home. We have more paintings in the study than we can use up. Why would you need to go out and buy them? You don't have to buy them. I can just buy one for you."

Aunt Sun still has this little bit of face.

Mi Niang smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Sister Sun first. It was because I didn't know the real Buddha was here and I worshipped the wrong Buddha."

Everyone laughed, and a little girl came in and said, "Sister Luzhu, the lady asked you to go to the Song family."

"How is the Song family?"

"It's Miss Song's great joy."

"It's so fast. I don't know who ordered it."

"You don't know, he is the top case in our Jiangxia Prefecture. His grandfather was a patrol officer and his father was a guest of honor."

Luzhu and Aunt Sun looked at each other helplessly. You know, the Song family originally had their eyes on their young master, but when they saw that they were slow to come forward and their daughter’s conditions were not unpopular, she was picked up by someone else right away.

The Song family was very quick. It only took a few months from the engagement to the marriage. When I saw Miss Song again, she was already pregnant.

After the new year, Mi Niang was one year older, and the painting she promised to make for Aunt Sun and Lu Zhu was finally delivered to them at the beginning of the new year.

Luzhu was very touched: "You are a rich lady. Since you treat me as a friend, I will definitely do my best to stay if I can help you in the future."

"What's the point of saying this? I just hope everyone is fine."

"You have always been a good person. When your father passes the imperial examination, your future will be beyond my imagination. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that after you become successful, don't forget us." Luzhu looked down on Mi Niang at first, thinking that her family was poor, but after listening to her words and observing her actions, she felt that she was truly one in a million.

Mi Niang shook her head: "I will always remember how my sister took care of me. My mother is pregnant again, and she has been taking care of me so many times."

Yes, Second Madam Ding is pregnant again, and Yuheng is studying in the Li family.

This year, Mi Niang started to learn the most difficult pieces, "Ba Wang Xi Jia" and "Spring River Moon Night". Madam Li taught her very seriously, and there is no doubt that Mi Niang is also a very diligent student.

She was very serious when playing and rarely slacked off, so she made rapid progress.

"You need to be a little heavier here." Mrs. Li demonstrated.

Mi Niang practiced again without getting bored, and only then did Mrs. Li let her rest.

The tea drunk by the Li family left a lingering fragrance in her mouth. Mi Niang took a sip and thought it was quite good.

Looking at the delicate little girl like a fresh flower, Mrs. Li felt much better. She had missed such a good opportunity as the daughter of the Song family.

But that evil creature had set his sights on someone from the Guan family, and she couldn't tell anyone, otherwise her sisters-in-law and mother-in-law would criticize her.

"Miss Mi, here are some exquisite refreshments, how about you try them?"

Mi Niang tasted a piece and said with a smile, "It tastes good, but I don't like things that are too sweet, so this is just right."

"Your mother is pregnant, so she's probably always hungry. Wrap up the leftovers and take them home to eat."

"Thank you very much, ma'am. Oh, by the way, I have to go out for something in a few days, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come to your house. Please bear with me."

Madam Li was surprised and asked, "You are speaking so seriously. What urgent matter do you have?"

Mi Niang smiled and said, "Nothing much. I don't know who heard that I can paint, so a family asked me to be a female teacher. I said I was too young to be a teacher. Later, her family asked me to paint a picture for the young lady. I saw that they were sincere, so I decided to go."

"So that's how it is. You are becoming more and more successful now." Madam Li felt that she was different from other ladies.

Mi Niang was very frank: "It's not that I've made it, but it's good to have many skills. Everyone has ups and downs in life. Just like when my great-grandfather was alive, although he was not rich, he had several servants and no worries about food and clothing. When it came to my father's generation, he didn't even have the money to take the imperial examination. So, I have this condition, so of course I have to learn everything well. If everything goes smoothly in the future, it's fine. If I fall into poverty, I will have poetry and books to accompany me, and the lingering music will linger in my ears. Compared with many people, this is already very good."

Mrs. Li deeply agreed with this.

This time, Mi Niang earned five taels of silver.

She took out a pound to buy gifts for the whole family, including a pair of silk flowers for Second Grandma Ding, a new bookcase for her father, and snacks for her younger brother Yuheng.

In addition, Aunt Luzhu, who has a good relationship with the Li family, also has earrings. Although they are not made of gold or silver, they are unique in design.

Zhiluzhu said to her privately: "If you can avoid coming over these few days, then don't come. Our wife is sick from anger."

Mi Niang frowned: "What's wrong? It's just a sudden energy disease."

Luzhu shook her head: "Don't ask more questions, it's all about the young master anyway."

"How is it? I heard that Miss Huang is engaged." Girls have a limited period of youth, so they can't wait for a long time. I'm afraid that this matter has touched Mrs. Li's heart.

"You all know everything. Our young master is fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if he doesn't get married right away, it's time to arrange a marriage for him. It's not impossible to get married in three to five years, but...it will become a worry for Madam." Luzhu sighed.

Mi Niang remembered that in her previous life, Li Guan had been in a stalemate for a long time, so it was still early now!

This was someone else's family affair, and she was too lazy to care about it. She never thought that even though she didn't want to care about it, Mrs. Li had other ideas about her.

Madam Li first went to the old lady and said, "Madam, I actually have a great candidate here."

The old lady knocked on the cigarette holder and said unhappily, "Why don't you tell me something?"

"I think the girl from the Ruan family is pretty good."

"No, she didn't have bound feet, and she was so pretty. She came to visit me once and I was so bewildered that I forgot what I was doing." The old lady still felt resentful that all her kinki were burned to death.

Especially since her grandson's marriage has not been going well and he has not been able to get a husband, she blames it all on Mi Niang.

Mrs. Li patiently explained, "Since ancient times, talented men have been paired with beautiful women. Before my husband left, he also talked about her to me and was very supportive."

The old lady couldn't help but sighed: "I won't talk about these. The main thing is that I am watching this girl secretly. It's okay if she doesn't enter the mansion. If she enters the mansion, I'm afraid she will control Guan'er."

The old lady thought secretly that her eldest daughter-in-law was always afraid of being offended by others and she regarded her son as her life. After she said the word "control", she was afraid that she would never mention this girl again.

Unexpectedly, her eldest daughter-in-law suddenly became excited: "Control, control is good, I really want it."

The old lady was shocked to see her daughter-in-law, who was always dignified, acting like she had gone crazy.

"Ruiqin, are you crazy?"
