The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

The maid Zhu'er said, "Miss, this material is very valuable. You have already ruined several feet of cloth in just a short while."

Zhong Siyu felt a little ashamed, "It would be nice if it had a little dress."

Shang Xi took the clothes that Zhong Siyu had tailored, looked at them and said, "There is indeed something wrong with your tailoring."

"What's the problem?"

Cheng Youning just came over at this time. Shang Xi waved at Cheng Youning and said, "Son, come here and let me measure you."

Cheng Youning walked over happily, "Mom, you want to make clothes for me?"

"Aren't all the clothes you are wearing new?" Shang Xi held Cheng Youning's shoulders and asked him to turn around. She pointed at Cheng Youning's back.

"That wasn't made for me by my mother, it was made for me by my grandmother."

"Aren't they all the same?"

Wan Baiqian said, "Where is my mother? Let her cut the tailor for me."

Shang Xi said: "Don't point your finger at this person for now."

"Where is my mother?"

"In order to thank the Marquis for his donation to the temple, the master of Lingchen Temple will personally perform a ritual to pray for the Marquis on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Mother was very excited when she heard this and is now taking people to the mansion to make arrangements for the eighth day of the first lunar month."

Shang Xi measured Cheng Youning's body, picked up a pen and drew a few lines on the cloth, then started using the scissors in an expert manner.

"You really can do it?" The women in the room were surprised.

Shang Xi said: "How can this be difficult for me? My eyes are almost as good as a ruler. Besides, I made clothes for Cheng Youning when he was a child. I am not good at sewing, but I can't cut."

After a few snips, Shang Xi cut out a small set of clothes. Zhong Siyu put them together and said, "It really worked."

Shang Xi said: "I will be responsible for cutting, and you will be responsible for making it."

"it is good."

"Mother, please make me one too."

Shang Xi looked up at Cheng Youning who was sitting on the couch leaning against Wan Baiqian and said, "Come down quickly. Your aunt is very precious. Don't hurt her."

Wan Baiqian hugged Cheng Youning and said, "I'm not that squeamish. I just like hugging my nephew."

"Things are different now." Shang Xi waved at Cheng Youning and said, "Come here, don't be so close to your aunt."

Cheng Youning jumped off the wooden couch and said, "Mom, I have something to talk to you about."

Shang Xi asked: "What's the matter? Are you going to the temple? There are too many people there. Mother won't go."

Cheng Youning said: "If I go, I will go with my grandfather. I don't want to go to the temple."

"So you want to go out for a run?"

Cheng Youning said: "If I wanted to go out for a run, I would have been back by now."

"So what do you want from me?"

Cheng Youning said, "Let's ask that Black Banana to serve in our courtyard."

Shang Xi put down the chalk in her hand and said, "I heard about Bajiao's situation. She is not calm and does not learn the rules well. She cannot come to our courtyard."

Cheng Youning said: "If you learn the rules bit by bit, you will eventually learn them."

Shang Xi said: "The servants in this mansion are not under the control of mother, and it is not up to mother to decide what kind of people to serve you."

"But I want to bring the person back."

Shang Xi said: "Your grandfather bought this person with his own money. His stay or departure is decided by the steward of the mansion. We have no right to interfere."

Cheng Youning said: "Then I will go find my little grandfather."

Shang Xi said, "Your little grandfather goes to the temple every day to listen to the monks preaching and discussing the Dharma. He has a big head, so don't bother him."

Cheng Youning turned to his aunt and begged, "Aunt, please say a few words for your nephew."

Wan Baiqian said: "There is no order without rules. Everyone in this mansion must abide by their own rules. You are a descendant of our Wan family. A servant who is not well trained cannot serve in the courtyard."

Cheng Youning said, "Aunt, why don't you let Bajiao go back to Hu Village?"

Wan Baiqian said, "We can let her go. It's not impossible to teach this banana a lesson."

Cheng Youning said: "If someone wants to leave, let her leave."

The person in charge found Basho that day and said, "You can leave now."

"Can I go?"

The steward said, "The young master has pleaded for you, you can leave now."

Bajiao put down the clothes in his hand and rubbed them on his body randomly after hearing this. "Do you want a ransom?"

"Don't worry about anything. Just leave through the small door now."

Bajiao had nothing to pack, so she left the prefectural mansion as instructed by the steward. It was already late, and if she rushed home at this time, she would have to walk at night. Fearing that she might encounter robbers, she found a cheap inn and stayed there for the night. She set out for home before dawn the next day and arrived home in the morning.

This is the home she has always longed for, and now she is finally back.

She shouted excitedly: "Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, I'm back."

The family was eating around the table, and when they saw Bajiao they were stunned. "Why are you back, you little girl?" It was her mother who spoke first.

Basho opened his eyes wide as he looked at the four plates of dumplings on the table. When had their family ever eaten dumplings before?

"I went to the Marquis's Mansion to be a maid, and you guys are eating dumplings at home."

"What's wrong with eating dumplings? Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so shouldn't we eat dumplings? What are you doing back here? Are you asking for leave?"

Bajiao moved a stool and sat down. Just as she picked up her chopsticks, she heard her mother say, "We didn't bring any dumplings for you. If you want to eat some, go back to the mansion."

Bajiao picked up a dumpling and said, "I'm not working in the Marquis' Mansion anymore."

When her mother heard this, her face immediately turned black and she knocked the dumplings picked up by Bajiao away with her chopsticks. "Who told you to come back? Get out of here right now."

Bajiao said, "Why do you guys eat dumplings at home while I have to suffer in the mansion?"

"Just because you are a girl, the family doesn't want to keep idle people."

“I’m doing less work at home?”

"Does anyone pay you for working at home? If you work at the Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis' Mansion will give you monthly wages. Your monthly wages can support our family very well."

Bajiao was completely angry when he heard this, "On the one hand, you look down on me, but on the other hand, you want me to make money for you. All the good things are for your family."

Bajiao's mother said, "You are back just in time. Give me the New Year's reward from the Marquis' Mansion."

"You still want to ask me for money, can you swallow the dumplings you bought with me?"

Because of talking back to her mother, Bajiao didn't get any benefit at all. Not only was she beaten, but all her money was taken away.

Bajiao ran out angrily and happened to meet Hu Er's family on the way, "It's Bajiao, right?"

"Aunt Hu." Bajiao's eyes were filled with tears.

"Why are you back? Are you not going?"

"The young master begged for me, and the steward of the mansion let me come back."

Hu Er's wife said, "Isn't this a good thing? You have been suffering in the mansion and can't learn the rules. Then we can come back and find a good in-law to marry into."
