"I don't know which bird in the tree is chirping, making a racket nonstop from dawn till now." Green Chrysanthemum took over the water jug from Mozi who was on door duty.

  "It sounds pretty good." Mozi took over the jug, poured a cup and put it under the tree shade to cool down.

  The sky is clear every day, the wind is warm, the light shines everywhere, and the heart is calm and peaceful. Therefore, being a gatekeeper isn't such a bitter job after all.

  "Mei Zi, what did the young lady say to you last night?" Green Chrysanthemum surrounded Mei Zi while Qi San Niang and Bai He were in the house.

  "Nothing." Mu Zi poured water on her hair, starting to sweep the yard, her thoughts drifting back to last night.

  Qiu San Niang said, "Even if I go to refuse Fourth Madam, Qiu Ming will definitely not let the matter drop. This kind of thing is not something that can be laughed off just because one doesn't want it. If I don't agree, I'm afraid the master of the house will have to intervene, take charge of my marriage and demand that I hand over a person."

  At that time, it sounded like Qiu Sanniang had agreed in her heart. Previously, she said something about not being as cold as Bai He Lü Ju Xiao Yi, and Mo Zi almost thought Qiu Sanniang was going to be moody again.

  "But -" Qiu San Niang suddenly turned around, "If the things you've been planning for me these days come true, I'll be in a good mood and will naturally think of ways to help you. Don't worry at all, just wait for the day when we get married."

  The maids of Tong Qiu San Niang have deepened their feelings, and Mo Zi herself sometimes wonders whether those thoughts are for her own sake or for Tong Qiu San Niang's. Is it true? Although at first, she hoped that Tong Qiu San Niang would marry well so that she could be happy too. However, it cannot be denied that Bai He and the others' words and actions, which were all for their master, gradually influenced her as well. Therefore, on the seventh day of Ci Nian An, she did not consider herself at all.

  To be honest, after Jiuzi Niang's words clarified the relationship between master and servant, Mozi Song felt a bit of inexplicable melancholy. It was as if there were two small people inside her body, one cold and one hot. When she wanted to express her emotions, the cold person would come out and cool her down. When she wanted to pretend it didn't matter, the hot person would come out and warm her up. This directly led to a situation where extreme heat gave rise to coldness, and extreme coldness gave rise to heat, contradicting each other. She suspected that she might have dissociative identity disorder, but eventually calmed herself down by thinking of it as an aftereffect of amnesia, and didn't think about it anymore.

  After hearing the conditions, Mozi asked Qiu Sanniang, if it wasn't her that Jing Wangfu came to propose to, would she sell herself to Fourth Madam.

  "Then it's up to you to take care of yourself. If you can't even save yourself, how can I expect you to do great things for me? As for managing the account and running the business, there aren't many people who can replace you, but neither are there few."

  "Mozhi, I'm telling you, after the young lady helps you with this matter, from now on, just learn to be stupid and foolish like us. Never try to outdo others in front of another master again. Just look at how different you are from other maidservants, it's giving people wrong ideas." Qingju shook Mozhi awake from her daze.

  "Huh? Yeah." Indeed, she made a wrong step as soon as she entered the Goose Tower.

  "That's to say, the girl will take your place? Great." Green Chrysanthemum thought she had gotten something out of him and finally showed a smile. "The four of us can leave with the girl together."

  Every time this happens, Mozi's heart warms up uncontrollably. Qiu Sanniang's eyes are as sharp as observing fire, and she can see that she is diligent but not blindly loyal. But Bai He Lüju, and even Xiao Yi, really treat her like a sister. Although she was beaten with a stick, she got three candies in return. Since it's still a good deal, she should think of a way to save herself. Being a concubine is a thankless job that she doesn't want to do at all. Playing the supporting role here and helping Qiu Sanniang fight, she can barely catch her breath, and every time she goes out, she doesn't want to come back. If she were to become the main character, it would be better to hang herself with a rope directly.

  The door creaked open and a tender voice called out, "Is Sister Baihe there? I'm Pingya from the kitchen."

  "Here." Mozi answered the door and then let Green Chrysanthemum go call White Lotus, "Most likely it's her godmother who wants to entrust something, coming at this time, must be an urgent matter."

  Green chrysanthemum small steps ran across the yard, went in for a while, changed into white lotus and hurriedly ran out.

  "Ah, Ping'er, but is something wrong with my foster mother?" Filial as if she were her own daughter, she immediately worries about the elderly.

  "White Lotus sister, grandma is fine, just let me pass a message to you and Third Aunt." Ping Ya was only twelve years old, with a flat face, rough hands and big feet, assigned to do miscellaneous chores in the kitchen such as washing vegetables and dishes. Usually White Lotus took good care of her.

  Purple ink sees the little head leaning against Baihe's ear, whispering softly, and also sees Baihe's ears red, face red, eyes shining. When she hears what she asks, it turns out that her mouth is faster than her brain.

  "Mei Zi, the matchmaker is here." Bai He whispered.

  Xie matchmaker is the most famous ice person in Luozhou, specializing in matchmaking for young masters and daughters of wealthy families. Ordinary people who are not rich or prestigious enough can't even invite her. It's said that she has a special talent for physiognomy, and every couple she matches ends up harmonious and loving, even if they were initially quarrelsome, eventually becoming inseparable. This golden signboard guarantees Xie matchmaker's reputation and ensures that the red envelopes she receives are both large and heavy.

  However, Mozi thought of something else - where did Xie matchmaker go to meet Wangfu's third public son?

  "It must be to propose marriage, I have to hurry and tell the girl." Bai He joined his hands together and took two steps towards the main house, but then came back. "Mozi, you quickly come in with me."

  Mozhī didn't listen, and instead said to Ping'er, "Do you know if Matchmaker Xie has entered the mistress's courtyard?"

  "She's come in, telling us to serve tea and snacks. If she hadn't come in, we'd just say the tea is ready." Who would have thought that this was actually a clever little girl with a rough exterior?

  Mozzie nodded in approval, took out a few silver coins and put them into Xiaoyu's hand. "Xiaoyu, please hurry back and tell Liu Baozhen that no matter what, she must find a way to keep the guest for San Guniang."

  The lotus bud blinked her eyes, looked at the white lotus again, then looked back at the purple ink and nodded in agreement. She picked up her skirt and ran off.

  "What's going on with Mu Zi?" Bai He Xin was meticulous, but she wouldn't actively think ill of others.

  Mozi pulled her green jade sleeve and said, "Let's go, I'll tell you after we meet the young lady."

  Qiu San Niang was waiting for news in the house at this time, and when she heard Bai He transmit Liu Pozi's words, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. "You say, if Xie Matchmaker came to propose a marriage on behalf of Jing Wangfu, which girl would they be asking for? Me, Sixth Lady, or Seventh Lady?"

  Bai He thought for a moment, "Why don't we let Xiao Yi go and ask around first?" Generally speaking, this was the most prudent approach.

  Xiao Yi listened and her body was about to sway outward.

  "Zi, why did you ask Liu Po to stay overnight?" Just as if last night's coldness was an illusion, Qiu San Niang wanted to hear Zi's explanation.

  "No matter who is being sought, the girl has a 30% chance. Time is pressing, if it's really the girl they're looking for, Madam would have already refused and sent her away. How could she wait until Xiaoyi finds out and then think of a solution? In my opinion, let's first keep the person here, and the girl quickly invites Master to go to Madam's place." Mu Zi is now absolutely thinking for herself.

  Suddenly thought of an early bird call, could it be a magpie?
