Furthermore, once Miss Chi Yu's workshop is built, someone will need to help manage it.
This servant believes that I am capable of doing the job.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao sighed.
"Chunxi, I know you mean well, but there's no need to sacrifice the rest of your life."
The people of Chijia'ao are good; with Chiyu around, things won't be too difficult in the future.
However, the men there are all mountain people after all.
They make a living by hunting, and you simply can't connect with them.
I don't want you to wrong yourself; there's no need for that!
Several of the managers of my shops and estates have wives of marriageable age. Why don't you choose one of them?
Chunxi had already made up her mind and didn't want to change it easily.
She didn't want to get married, but if she had to, she would rather marry a man from Chijia'ao.
The stewards under the lady's name were more or less shrewd and mercenary like businessmen, and some even had a penchant for women or men.
As their offspring, she didn't think things could be any better.
If there are many children in the family, there might be a lot of infighting.
Even though she was the lady's head maid, after she got married, she would become a head maid, and the lady would support her in any matter.
But that wasn't the life she wanted!
“Madam, my mind is made up. I would also like to trouble you to tell Miss Chiyu that when they return, they should take me with them.”
As for who she will marry in Chijia'ao, this servant will need to observe carefully. I hope Madam will grant my request!
Mrs. Qiao knew her personality; once she made up her mind, she was not easily changed.
Hearing this, he took a deep breath and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, as you wish!"
Perhaps because they both had things on their minds, the master and servant didn't say a word the whole way.
Once the carriage entered the Zhong family's estate, which was Wang Yunjuan's own dowry estate, Qiao Shi finally mustered her spirits.
It was already late, and Wang Yunjuan was having someone heat up the river snails and duck meat she had brought back so that they could be served to the master as a snack with his wine.
When the servant came to report that Madam Qiao had arrived, he was somewhat puzzled.
They only left the Qin family's house in the afternoon, and they haven't been apart for long, so why did they come over?
Could it be that something has happened?
With that thought in mind, she quickly dressed and invited the person into the small flower hall.
Qiao and Wang Yunjuan were cousins, and among their maternal relatives in this area, the two sisters were the closest.
Upon seeing Wang Yunjuan, Qiao dismissed her attendants and ordered Chunxi to stand guard outside the door before getting straight to the point:
"Sister Juan, the imperial court has issued an edict ordering eligible men and women to get married within one month."
You need to start preparing for Arong's wedding as soon as possible.
His fiancée is from our prefectural city. The situation outside isn't good right now, so you should start preparing in the next few days.
Also, Xiaofeng, you need to get serious too. Don't procrastinate, or you'll end up with nothing but bad apples.
Wang Yunjuan, who had been somewhat indifferent, stood up abruptly upon hearing this.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and her voice even trembled slightly.
"Jiaoniang, is this really true?"
"If nature is true, why would I lie to you?"
As she spoke, Mrs. Qiao took out a letter written by her husband from her sleeve pocket and handed it over.
"Here is a letter that my master just sent back. You can take a look and see if it's true or false."
Wang Yunjuan, clinging to a sliver of hope, took the item, glanced at it briefly, and then slumped back onto the stool.
"What should I do? What should I do about my Xiaofeng? How can I find her in such a short time?"
Marriage is a matter of life and death for a woman, so how could she dare to find a husband for her daughter so casually?
If things go well, that's fine; but if they don't, it will ruin Xiaofeng's life.
