Half an hour later, a group of people followed another group out of Shuang Xi Building and walked towards the carriage road.

  Mozhi, as always, stared firmly at Qiu Sanniang's back, like a shadow.

  Bai He and the others finally managed to keep up, closely following behind.

  "What did your wife ask you to do?" Bai He and Mo Zi asked in unison.

  Nothing much was said, just a story was told. The one I previously told in the Wild Goose Tower, I had to retell it again for my wife, mother-in-law and the young ladies. Mozi gazed at the dense shadows in front of her, while Wei Shi and Zhang Shi walked at the forefront of the women's group.

  "Violet ink." Juu San Niang called out.

  "Yes." Murasaki replied in a low voice.

  "Do you know how powerful you are?" He seemed nonchalant, "If it weren't for my decent memory, I would have been embarrassed just now."

  "You're amazing, girl! You got it all right after just one listen. Even the noble guests who came from afar are praising you." He reminded Qiu San Niang in a roundabout way, and she hadn't even finished reciting the second half of the poem yet.

  "What if I really can't write anymore?" Chou San Niang wondered.

  "If the girl really can't write anymore, Mozi will recite the whole poem again." Mozi was well-prepared.

  "Has the guest praised us? Then our girl must have won over that Prince's concubine, right? Who knows, maybe she'll even take a liking to our girl." Bai He smiled with delight.

  "That's not necessarily true." Qiu Sanniang's eyes sparkled with intelligence as she sneered, "Look at the scene before us. My good mother is pushing Sixth Sister forward, while Seventh Sister is holding onto Sixth Sister tightly. When did two sisters become so harmonious? I'm not aware of it."

  "Shall we go up, miss?" Bai He also wanted to give a push.

  "I think Wei is not as weak as Zhang said." Because they were far away from the main army, Mozi spoke out, "Towards Liu Niang, he seems to be dissatisfied. Towards Qi Niang, he is more protective."

  "What about our girl?" Green Chrysanthemum asked with concern from behind.

  "Not too cold, not too hot, can't see the thoughts. Praised the girl, it's true praise. But mentioned the girl following the old master to do business, so it doesn't seem particularly fond of her. If you really want to say, it's a compliment with a hidden criticism." Mozi observed for half a day, "I'm afraid Madam has misjudged this good friend from the boudoir. Even if twenty years ago she was soft-tempered, but now that she can gain the trust of the princess and have the dignity to return home for a family visit, how could she be someone who is easily manipulated?"

  "Well said." Zhuo San Niang expressed her agreement.

  "But this is neither hot nor cold, with both praise and criticism. What should we do?" Bai He thought anxiously.

  "She doesn't like me, and I'm not necessarily fond of the third young master of her family either." Qiu San Niang's attitude was relaxed, but she glanced at Mo Zi.

  "I'll go ask about Third Young Master tomorrow." Mo Zi received a glance from Qiu San Niang.

  "Girls, did you see that? Don't say I'm biased." Although Qiu San Niang was squeezed by the mistress, she didn't know why, but her mood wasn't bad. "This Mozi girl, I didn't say anything, and she suddenly said in front of so many people that I wanted pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from her. Fortunately, she clarified later, otherwise, you girls would have laughed at me tonight."

  Mozi and Qiu Sanniang dressed up, "I saw that Liu Niang and Qiuniang both left an impression on the Wei family. Moreover, Qiuniang said something wrong, which displeased Mrs. Wei and the Wei family, so I thought you could show off your beautiful calligraphy skills. It would not only showcase your strengths but also ease the tension at the banquet. Who knew that you were so clever and actually wrote out the lyrics after hearing them just once?"

  Mozhi showed her favor to Qiuliu's third daughter because she thought Weishi was a concubine and wouldn't openly acknowledge monogamy. Qiuliu's sixth daughter's infatuation with the story made Weishi frown. On the other hand, Qiuliu's seventh daughter said Guanshi had a small temper, which pleased Weishi. But why did Weishi specially ask Zhangshi to find her? Besides Guanshi's exquisite little poem, there probably wouldn't be anything else.

  "Can you still embroider? Go back and embroider one for me to see." Jiǔ Sān Niáng thought Mò Zǐ was serious, then heard the word "xiù" and thought she had caught her mistake.

  Mozi's heart is bitter, although she speaks ancient and modern languages fluently, she can't help but use some modern words. She doesn't think it's a big deal, but the listeners are confused.

  "I can only sew and mend with that needle and thread. Let Green Chrysanthemum embroider a Heart Sutra, and send it to the noble guest along with the woodblock print." She said casually.

  "Why don't I embroider a Heart Sutra?" The speaker was casual, but the listener was thoughtful. Qiao San thought it was a good idea and said, "Why not? I'll do it myself, it's more sincere."

  The green chrysanthemum let out a sudden snort and quickly covered her mouth, but saw that the white lotus and little clothes were all secretly laughing.

  "I've really spoiled you all." Qiu San Niang turned her head, her face stern and her eyes narrowed.

  "Miss, you make a draft, I'll embroider. When the embroidery is done and sent to others, it will be as if you embroidered it yourself." Green Chrysanthemum said with a smile.

  Qiu San Niang's needlework has been unsatisfactory since she started learning. After half a year at home, she still can't produce a decent purse or sachet. In her free time, she would rather play the zither, play chess, read books, and practice calligraphy.

  "Mozi, if you think it's funny, just laugh." Qiu Sanniang didn't see Mozi following those three, thinking she was afraid of her true temper.

  "Miss, I can only mend clothes myself, how dare I laugh at you for mistakenly embroidering peony as peach?" Mozi replied seriously.

  Green Chrysanthemum coughed violently and suddenly choked. White Lotus told Third Sister Zhang that she wanted to embroider the Heart Sutra by herself, and her head never looked up again. Xiao Yi helped Green Chrysanthemum pat her back while laughing nonstop.

  "Good, very good." When Qiu San Niang was in a good mood, she could play with the maids.

  At this time, their hypocritical politeness with the group of people in front was out of place, it was a deep and thick friendship that did not distinguish between masters and servants. Every time Mozi looked at their smiles, she would comfort herself, becoming a maid's situation was not too bad after all.

  Compared with the harmony that was unnoticed in the rear, Wei's family, who were in the forefront, could clearly feel the undercurrent between Zhang's family and Qiu Qiuniang.

  Wei did not change his expression, turned around and stood still in front of the carriage, one hand holding Liu Niang, one hand holding Qi Niang, but said to Zhang Shi, "Good sister, your family's girls are all as you said in your letter, each one is like a close-hearted child. I really wish I could recognize them as my own daughters."

  Zhang's face lit up with joy, "Not to mention recognizing her as his daughter, even if he took her away, I wouldn't say anything." He pushed Liu Niang with both hands, "It's settled then."

  Qiu Liu's daughter blushed and lowered her head.

  Wei Shi pulled La La Qiu Qiuniang and said, "Isn't this also pretty good?"

  Qiu Qiuniang clings tightly to Wei Shi, a sweet mouth calls out "Dry Mother".

  Zhang's eyes flashed with anger, but she forced a smile and said, "You've taken everything away from me. Now there's no one left by my side to talk to. You're really heartless towards your sister."

  "Sister, you're really... just now she was asking me to take her along." Wei Shi said, her eyes gazing into the distance, seeing Qiu San Niang chatting and laughing with the maids on the porch, her eyes shining brightly. "Don't worry, even if I were to bring someone, it would only be one person."

  This is Wei's first oral admission tonight that he will take the young lady of the Qiu family to the capital, which is equivalent to giving Zhang a reassurance pill - the Qiu family can form an alliance with the Jingwangfu!

  Zhang heard this and felt at ease, while Liu Niang and Qi Niang also had a premonition. Although Qi Niang was still able to express herself, her reserve as a daughter-in-law took precedence, and she nodded her head in delight.

  "I'll be staying in town for another month, before I leave, we sisters must gather again." Wei Shi finally let go of Liu Niang and Qi Niang, preparing to get on the horse carriage.

  The girl beside him lifted the curtain.

  "Next time, it's got to be at our place. Come a bit earlier and we can play some cards, the girls can take a stroll in the garden, and make a lively day of it." Thus Madame Wang fixed the return dinner party.

  Zhang said a few more goodbyes and waited until the ladies of the Wei manor had all boarded their carriages and driven away before turning around with his daughter and daughters-in-law.

  Qiu San Niang originally wanted to return to her own courtyard, but An Pobao came running and said that Zhang Shi still had something to say, asking her to bring the maidservants to the main courtyard.

  "What time is it now? Still going to her courtyard?" Wait An's wife complained after walking far.

  "Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister, Fourth Grandma and Fifth Grandma have all gone." Bai He looked carefully.

  Eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  Those glittering glass lanterns illuminate the pitch-black lake shore, but only that circle of light can't reach the depths.
