When Liu Ruoxu came to Beijing this time, she brought dozens of carts of goods, including perfumes, spices, and local products from all over the south of the Yangtze River. Three hundred jars of fine Shaoxing wine alone were brought.

When the motorcade arrived outside the forest garden, the servant guarding the gate immediately shouted loudly: "The Third Master is back home!"

In the carriage, Liu Ruoxu, who was talking to Lin Yun, was startled by the shout. She quickly stretched out her hand to lift the curtain and looked outside.

Seeing this luxurious manor in front of her, Liu Ruoxu felt excited and nervous at the same time. She was excited because she would become a member here, but nervous because she had not yet received the approval of the mistress of the house.

Lin Yun knew that she was nervous and comforted her with a smile: "But you are a very nice person. As long as you treat her with sincerity, she will definitely accept you."

Liu Ruoxu nodded, and then asked: "Sister Yu'er, you must not be easy to talk to?"

"Don't worry, Yu'er, I will help you sort it out."

Liu Ruoxu: "I'd better do it myself, I want to get her sincere approval."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Thanks."

…

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Lin Yun raised his hand to open the curtains and saw Ping'er leading Pearl and a group of maids, and the mother-in-law standing outside the second door to greet them. Behind them, a small blue sedan chair was prepared.

Liu Ruoxu asked nervously: "Third Master, what are they going to do?"

"Come on, let's go out and take a look."

As soon as Lin Yun and Liu Ruoxu stepped out of the carriage, they saw Ping'er walking up to greet her. He bowed to Liu Ruoxu and saluted, "My slave, Ping'er, pays your respects to the girl."

Liu Ruoxu had heard Lin Yun say before that Ping'er was both the housekeeper of the house and Lin Yun's concubine. She hurriedly bowed and returned the courtesy, "Hello, sister Ping'er!"

After the maid and mother-in-law bowed to Liu Ruoxu, Pearl came over, took Liu Ruoxu's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Liu, we finally meet again."

Liu Ruoxu smiled and said, "Sister Pearl, are you okay?"

"very good!"

Lin Yun took advantage of the two women's conversation to pull Ping'er aside and asked in a low voice: "Sister Ping'er, what are you doing with a sedan?"

Ping'er smiled and said, "When my aunt comes in, we can't let her in, right?"

Lin Yun asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"Third Master, please leave it alone. Second Master Lian is here, please go and take a look."

"But~"

"Don't worry, grandma won't embarrass Miss Liu."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

…

After sending Lin Yun away, Ping'er came back and smiled at Liu Ruoxu: "Grandma said, the girl is sitting in this sedan chair and entering the inner house today. She is the third master's legitimate concubine."

Liu Ruoxu felt ecstatic when she heard this. Previously she was still worried that her mistress would not accept her, but now this difficulty has disappeared.

But when she saw Xiang Ling and Aunt Zhen walking over together, her mind immediately sobered up.

She shook her head at Ping'er and said: "Sister Xiangling hasn't come in yet. How dare the Nu family get there first? I also asked Sister Ping'er to accuse grandma on my behalf. I just say that I appreciate grandma's kindness."

Hearing this, Ping'er secretly admired Miss Liu. She really had a calm temperament and could still stick to her principles in the face of temptation, which I'm afraid even she would find difficult to achieve.

"Since Sister Liu refuses to be a sedan chair, I will accompany you to walk to see grandma."

When Liu Ruoxu heard Ping'er change her title, she knew that she had made the right decision. The mistress was indeed testing her.

…

In the living room of the back house, Qin Keqing is receiving Wang Xifeng, who is visiting as a guest, while Daiyu is sitting next to him.

Wang Xifeng looked at Qin Keqing and praised: "I heard our second master say earlier that my siblings are so beautiful and beautiful, which is rare in the world. When I see them today, it is true."

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "I heard from my husband that the second sister-in-law is a hero among the fans. When I saw her today, she is indeed worthy of her name."

Wang Xifeng: "Brother Yun is always good at coaxing people. Don't let my brothers and sisters be deceived by him."

Daiyu coughed lightly and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, my brother is telling the truth."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I actually forgot that there is also Brother Yun's ear retribution god here."

Daiyu said angrily: "Sister-in-law Feng bullied me, I will go back and tell Brother Lian and ask him to avenge me."

Qin Keqing pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sister Yu'er has found the wrong person. I'm afraid your second brother Lian won't be able to suppress Sister-in-law Feng."

Wang Xifeng looked at Daiyu with a proud look on her face and said to herself: "As cowardly as your second brother Lian is, I can't even beat him."

Daiyu smiled slyly and said, "What if my brother helps second brother Lian? Is Sister-in-law Feng confident enough to deal with it?"

Wang Xifeng's face changed drastically when she heard this. If Brother Yun really wanted to help Mr. Lian, she would not even have a chance to win.

Qin Keqing said hurriedly: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, how could your brother do such a thing."

Wang Xifeng said hurriedly: "My brothers and sisters are right, Brother Yun will never make things difficult for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a maid outside shouting: "Miss Liu is here."

Qin Keqing quickly straightened her posture and looked out the door.

Wang Xifeng asked Daiyu in a low voice: "Sister Lin, who is this Miss Liu?"

Daiyu lowered her voice and said, "It's my brother who stayed in Jiangnan to take charge of the business."

"oh!"

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she immediately became interested. She also had shares in the perfume shop in Jinling, so Miss Liu had to build a good relationship.

Not long after, I saw Ping'er slowly walking in from the door accompanied by a tall and beautiful woman.

It was Liu Ruoxu who came in. Ping'er pointed at Qin Keqing and introduced her: "Sister Liu, this is our grandma."

Liu Ruoxu stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, saying, "This is how I say hello to grandma."

Qin Keqing looked at the other party carefully, then raised his hand to support her and said: "If you are my sister, please call me sister from now on."

Liu Ruoxu hurriedly changed her words and said, "My little sister respects my elder sister's instructions."

After saying that, she took out a gift list from her arms, handed it to Qin Keqing and said, "This is the list of belongings that my little sister brought. Please send someone to count them."

Qin Keqing took the gift list and put it on the table, pointed at Daiyu and introduced to Liu Ruoxu: "This is sister Yu'er."

Liu Ruoxu stepped forward to greet her and said, "This is how I wish to greet you, girl."

Daiyu smiled slyly and asked, "What should I call you?"

Liu Ruoxu smiled calmly and said: "Call the girl whatever she likes."

Daiyu was about to make things difficult for her a few more times when she heard Qin Keqing cough lightly. She immediately calmed down, not daring to make things difficult for Miss Liu again.

Qin Keqing pointed at Wang Xifeng and introduced: "This is the Second Mistress Lian of the Rongguo Mansion. Her husband and our Third Master are brothers and sisters, and they can be considered members of the same family."

Liu Ruoxu saluted again and said: "This is how I say hello to Second Grandma."

Wang Xifeng quickly stood up and returned the greeting, saying: "Since your grandma said that sisters should be like sisters, don't call me second grandma in the future, just call me second sister-in-law."

"This is how you honor your command."

At this time, Xiangling also led Aunt Zhen in to kowtow to Qin Keqing.

Liu Ruoxu breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Daiyu and thought, "This sister-in-law is really weird and difficult to deal with."

After Aunt Zhen finished her salute, Qin Keqing said to Brother Ying: "Brother Ying, since all the guests are here, hurry up and inform the kitchen that the banquet can begin."

"Okay, grandma."

Ping'er hurriedly said: "Grandma, it's better for me to go."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Feng is here today as a guest. Sister Ping'er will sit at the same table with her for dinner. Master and servant are equal."

Wang Xifeng: Sister, you don’t know this. Ping’er often eats at the same table with us in the mansion over there.”

Qin Keqing: "Then you're even more welcome. Miss Ping, just sit next to Sister-in-law Feng today."

Ping'er wanted to refuse, but Wang Xifeng grabbed him and sat down on the stool next to him. He said with a smile: "Ping'er, just sit here. I want to show Sister Lin today. I also have a big belly."

Tolerable."

Daiyu pulled Xiangling and her daughter to sit down beside her, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Feng, the master and servants sit together. I also have mother and daughter sitting together here, but they are not all together."

Aunt Zhen said anxiously: "Girl, there is no place for me to sit here."

Daiyu: "I heard from my brother that my aunt was originally from a government official family, but she couldn't imitate her."

Qin Keqing: "What my sister said is, Aunt Zhen, just sit down and have a meal together."

Aunt Zhen said gratefully: "Thank you so much, grandma and Miss He."

Qin Keqing pulled Miss Liu and Zhenzhu to sit beside him again, and now the place was finally full.

…

In the study outside, Lin Yun and Jia Lian were also sitting together drinking.
