"Everyone heard it. This Liu Xiangzhi is deliberately trying to sow discord between me and Sister Yilan. She provoked us all on her own!"
The villagers took one look and shook their heads: "This Liu Xiangzhi is really something. She is clearly a servant, but instead of doing her job honestly, she stirs up trouble everywhere!"
"Yes! He really deserves a beating!"
At this time, Liu Xiangzhi saw Yan Fengniang looking extremely angry not far away.
Liu Xiangzhi knew that Yan Fengniang had gradually developed a liking for her over the past few days, but she couldn't tell why.
Few people knew about Yan Fengniang's past. However, seeing Yan Fengniang's increasing concern for her, she even had the illusion that she and Yan Fengniang were more like a mother and daughter.
Liu Xiangzhi's wish was fulfilled, and she said without lingering on: "I'm sorry, Tangtang, Yilan, please don't be angry, I was wrong."
After seeing Liu Xiangzhi admit her mistake, Yan Fengniang endured the pain and went to Yezhai.
Although she was a servant, she knew how difficult Liu Xiangzhi's life was.
"Master, Liu Xiangzhi has performed well in cooking at the Ye residence. Can she be trained as a maid in the main courtyard?"
Yan Fengniang knelt in the study and begged for mercy.
"Liu Xiangzhi is the maid in the main courtyard?" Ye Jingxiao thought about it, but couldn't remember who she was.
"Tell Xu Qingfeng about this and let him arrange it!"
"Yes, thank you, master!" Yan Fengniang finally got a position as a maid.
At this time, people from all over the servants' courtyard were active and pushed the maids they thought were good to the main courtyard to learn.
Liu Xiangzhi walked back to the servants' sleeping room. Yan Fengniang sighed and said, "Tomorrow you will go to the main courtyard and learn how to make tea from the nanny. Whether you can have a place in the master's eyes in the future depends on you."
Liu Xiangzhi's heart started pounding when she heard this: "Xiangzhi will remember Aunt Yan's teachings!"
"Hurry up and get up, wash your face, and then get the maids' clothes to change into."
"Yes, Aunt Yan!" Liu Xiangzhi watched Yan Fengniang leave and thought to herself, "I can finally enter the main courtyard this time."
The next morning
Ning Xiaotang was having breakfast in her yard, "Miss, please try this crystal fried dumpling, it's so delicious!" Quanyue picked up a crystal fried dumpling and put it in Ning Xiaotang's small bowl.
"Yeah, I like this." Ning Xiaotang immediately took a bite, her mouth full of the aroma of meat.
"Delicious, have another one."
Quanyue picked up another one, and Ning Xiaotang had just taken a bite when she heard Yueman report.
"Miss, Miss, Liu Xiangzhi at Ye's house has become the main courtyard's cleaning maid!"
"A maid sweeping the main courtyard? What's so strange about that?"
Yue Man immediately added, "Miss, you don't know that if a maid enters the main courtyard, she will undergo some physical examinations. When she grows up, she can be taken in as a maid in the main room!"
Ning Xiaotang bit a crystal fried dumpling with resentment: "She is quite resourceful. She even became a maid in the main courtyard."
"Miss, Yue Man heard that it was Yan Feng's mother who asked for the position from Master Ye."
"It seems that Yan Fengniang really likes Liu Xiangzhi. She is helping her so wholeheartedly!"
Quan Yue immediately scooped another bowl of soup for Ning Xiaotang to drink.
Ning Xiaotang took the small bowl, took a sip, put it down and said, "Even if Ye Jingxiao takes Liu Xiangzhi as his maid, it has nothing to do with me!"
But his eyebrows were tightly knitted. This stinky Ye Jingxiao actually forgot that this was ancient times. Men believed that women were responsible for carrying on the family line. Only women who gave birth to many children were valued, and they had to be boys!
There are not many families like the Ning family, which has many male children, who would treat their daughters as treasures.
But Ning Xiaotang is a lucky person, everyone in the Ning family likes her.
"Sister, have you eaten enough? We have to get ready to pick up the bride!"
Ning Zike and Ning Zihe came in with Ning Zi.
Ning Xiaotang suddenly had no time to care about Liu Xiangzhi entering the main courtyard.
"Get ready to see the bride!"
Ning Xiaotang walked happily in front, followed by her three brothers, looking very majestic.
At the gate of Ning's house, the joyful sound of a horse-drawn carriage with music and drums attracted the whole village.
Some people came to pick up wedding candies and peanuts, while others came just to watch the fun.
Ning Zilin, wearing a groom's suit, bowed and greeted them outside the mansion.
When the husband kicked the door open, he led the bride over the fire basin and bowed to the heaven and earth before sending her to the bridal chamber.
Ge Yuyuan was so hungry that his stomach was growling.
"Sister Ge, Sister Ge, your stomach is growling." Ning Xiaotang took a handful of red dates from the table next to her and stuffed them into Ge Yuyuan's hand.
"Tangtang, it's you!"
"Well, Sister Ge, please eat something quickly. These red dates are so sweet. I hope you and your brother will grow old together and have many children and grandchildren!"
"Okay, thank you Tangtang!" Ge Yuyuan put a red date in her mouth and started eating.
Because she was worried that the bride would have trouble using the toilet on the way, she got up early in the morning and didn't drink a drop of water or eat a piece of cake.
Ning Xiaotang added, "When the moon is full, go to the kitchen and ask them to cook a bowl of poached eggs and bring them to my sister-in-law's room. Make sure they're a pair!"
Yue Man immediately bowed and said, "Yes, young lady."
Then Yueman retreated, and the maids in the room quickly closed the door.
"Miss, oh no, it's the master's wife! You have to wait until the master comes in and picks out the veil."
Qingle immediately stepped forward and handed a plate of pastries to Ge Yuyuan.
"Qingle, let Tangtang eat this cake. I'm not hungry."
Ge Yuyuan knew that this pastry was Tangtang’s favorite, so she brought it specially for her from Shuihe Town.
"Sister Ge, you're welcome. You eat first. You've been hungry all the way here. I'm not hungry."
Although Ning Xiaotang was very greedy for the pastries, she also knew that Ge Yuyuan was very hungry.
"A plate of cakes was placed under Ge Yuyuan's veil and was quickly devoured.
The pastries are also exquisite, but a few small pieces are not enough to fill you up.
Fortunately, Yue Man came and said, "Miss, the fried eggs are here."
Ning Xiaotang looked at the whole bowl and saw that there were six eggs in total.
"Sister Ge, please eat quickly."
Then Ge Yuyuan ate a full bowl of eggs, and only then did he feel full.
Just after finishing the meal, I heard footsteps outside, and several brothers were clamoring, "Brother Ning, let us see my wife!"
"Yes, yes, look at the new sister-in-law!"
Then Qingle opened the door, picked up the veil with the witness of the matchmaker, and drank the wedding wine.
When everyone left, Ning Xiaotang also left, leaving the groom Ning Zilin and the bride Ge Yuyuan alone in the room.
Night slowly falls, and the room is filled with tenderness.
But Qian Fangcao's yard was extremely deserted.
"Yan'er, are you resting over there?" Qian Fangcao sat weakly on the bed.
"Mrs. Qian, word has been passed over there that we'll see what happens tomorrow. They won't be coming back now."
