At the same time, as Ji Xueru walked out of the Wei family's courtyard, Nanny Han and Xiaolan beside her spoke unhappily.
"Master, do you really want to marry me to such a family?"
"Look at that courtyard. It's so small you can barely even turn around. There are only three rooms. In my opinion, that family doesn't need to hire servants or maids at all."
"She's so poor, yet she's still acting like an old lady. I feel so ashamed for her when I see her like that."
Nanny Han said with a lot of complaints.
Because they all came with the second girl as dowry, and it was uncomfortable for them to live in such a small courtyard.
"That's right. The old woman was obviously trying to intimidate our girl." Xiaolan said unhappily.
Ji Xueru stopped and turned to look at the courtyard behind her, her eyes full of sarcasm.
"These mother and son are planning to wipe out the entire family. They want to use my dowry to supplement the family income, and they also want to put on airs in front of me."
"Do you really think I, Ji Xueru, am someone you can easily mess with?"
"Second Miss, please send someone to write a letter and tell the master!"
"You definitely can't marry into a family like this. Marrying them is like jumping into a fire pit."
Nanny Zhao, who had been silent all this time, also started to persuade.
Ji Xueru glanced at them and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I never planned to marry into the Wei family."
Xiaolan and the others looked at each other, but did not dare to ask her what she thought.
Ji Xueru snorted lightly: "Let's go, go back first, we are tired and hungry, and we will talk about the rest later."
"Yes, second lady, please slow down and watch your feet." Xiaolan hurried forward to support her.
…
The next morning, after breakfast, Qiu Yinong asked Qiu Yuwan to take her to meet the Shangshu's wife.
Qiu Yuwan didn't ask anything, just said something to Sun Guiying and took Qiu Yinong to Li Yunshu's house.
The Qiu family was half an hour's journey from the Chen residence. Seeing Qiu Yinong looking at the street, Qiu Yuwan told her which street was the most prosperous.
Qiu Yinong listened with great interest as to which street had more shops selling women's products.
After she finished speaking, Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "Aunt, are you interested in doing business with me, your niece?"
"What are you making? Is it the snacks from Taohua Village?" Qiu Yuwan's eyes lit up.
The snacks made by her niece are really delicious. She is still thinking about how to talk to her niece and ask her to open a snack shop here as soon as possible.
"Puchi, aunt, is it really okay for you to be so greedy?" Qiu Yinong teased her with a smile.
Qiu Yuwan blushed immediately, and Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. It's rouge, powder, and skin-beautifying pills."
"Is that the one you gave me to eat before?" Three days ago, Qiu Yinong gave her and her mother a pink pill.
The pill had a floral scent. After taking it, I noticed that a black, greasy liquid with a foul odor oozed out of my skin that same day.
It took the boatman three buckets of hot water to clean it.
But after washing, she found that her skin had become much whiter and smoother, and it was even more obvious in the past few days, changing every day.
No wonder my sister-in-law looks even more beautiful than when she was young. Her skin is so white and tender that it seems like water can be squeezed out of it.
After eating it herself, she realized that her sister-in-law's current state was all thanks to her niece.
"Yeah." Qiu Yinong nodded.
Qiu Yuwan immediately nodded excitedly: "Sure, I happen to have an unused shop under my name. You can go take a look and see if it's suitable for you."
"Okay." Qiu Yinong nodded with a smile.
Qiu Yuwan pulled her over and started chattering happily. Most of the time, Qiu Yinong just smiled and nodded, complaining that she didn't speak enough.
When they arrived at the place, Qiu Yuwan realized that she was the one talking the whole time, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm two years older than you, but why do you look more like an aunt to me?" Qiu Yuwan said coquettishly while looking at Qiu Yinong.
"It shows that my aunt has a cheerful personality, which is good." Qiu Yinong held her hand and said with a smile.
Qiu Yuwan thought about it and thought so, then asked, "Sometimes I really think Yi'er is amazing. She's only fourteen years old, but she knows how to do business."
"It's okay that he's smart, his martial arts are okay, and he also has medical skills. In comparison, I seem like a piece of crap."
"Aunt, don't think like that. Everyone has his or her own strengths."
"If I happen to like these things, I will naturally invest more in them. If I don't like them, I won't learn them or try them. Don't you think I'm right?"
"That seems to be the case. Let's go, we're already there." Qiu Yuwan was indeed a kind and lively girl, and the topic was quickly changed.
Qiu Yinong nodded, Qingyuan got out of the car first, and Qiu Yuwan's personal maid Hongjin reached out to help Qiu Yinong.
Qiu Yinong refused with a smile.
"Hong Jin." After getting out of the car, Qiu Yuwan looked at Hong Jin.
The latter took the order and walked directly to the gatehouse: "Hello, big brother, please inform your wife that the third daughter of the Qiu family is here to visit."
The concierge looked towards Qiu Yuwan, then nodded to Hong Jin and said, "Young lady, please let your Third Miss go in first and wait a moment. I will go and inform her."
"Thank you, brother." Hong Jin bowed to him and then went to report to Qiu Yuwan.
Qiu Yuwan brought Qiu Yinong over, and the doorman made a gesture of invitation and led them to the stool inside the door to rest.
Then he trotted off to report, and did not keep Qiu Yuwan and the others waiting for long. The servant came back soon.
"Miss Qiu San, the wife of the Xiaodi family asks you to wait in the front hall." The servant said respectfully.
"Thank you." This was not the first time Qiu Yuwan came here. She did not let the servant lead the way, but led her people to the front hall of the Shen family.
When we arrived, Li Yunshu was already waiting there.
Li Yunshu smiled at Qiu Yuwan, then glanced at Qiu Yinong, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Then he smiled and said, "Sister Yuwan, didn't you and your parents leave the capital to visit your eldest brother and his wife?"
"Why are you back so soon?"
"Sister Yunshu, I was able to find my relatives this time thanks to you. I came here today to express my gratitude and also because I, your niece, want to meet you."
Qiu Yuwan pulled Qiu Yinong forward and introduced her to Li Yunshu, "Sister Yunshu, this is my beloved niece, Qiu Jia Yinong. She embroidered this screen for you."
“Yier, this is Madam Shen, the wife of the Minister of Personnel.”
"Hello, Madam Shen." Qiu Yinong bowed and Li Yunshu hurried forward to help her up.
The more Li Yunshu looked at the child, the more he liked him. He was so handsome.
"You are indeed a wonderful person. When I was in the capital, I regretted not going to meet you in person."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Shen. It's not too late to meet you today." Qiu Yinong said with a smile.
Li Yunshu smiled and nodded, then quickly said, "Hurry up and sit down and talk. Your aunt and I are close friends, so I'll call you Yi'er."
"Yier, don't call me Madam Shen anymore. Just call me Aunt Yunshu or Aunt Yunshu."
