I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Jiang Yuan was shopping on the street with her four maids. The street was very busy, probably because the New Year was approaching. All the things bought on the street were festive.

All the businesses have hung up red lanterns. There are stalls selling red lanterns on the street, stalls writing couplets, stalls selling red silk and red cloth, and even more meat stalls.

"Miss, aren't you in the Marquis' Mansion during the New Year?" Zhishu saw that Jiang Yuan bought a lot of red couplet papers, which had already been purchased by the Marquis' Mansion. He thought that he bought them for his own house.

Lu Zhu was happily picking out roasted food, and answered quickly, "Of course we have to go back to the Jiang residence, Sister Zhishu, do you want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion or go back to the Jiang residence with us?"

Zhishu was also unsure and stood there not knowing how to answer. She was a maid in the Marquis's Mansion and should have stayed in the Mansion, but she was assigned to the young lady and should have followed her.

Seeing that she was in a dilemma, Jiang Yuan took the initiative to say, "Come back to Jiang's residence with us. The Marquis' Mansion doesn't need the two of you, but there are not many people in Jiang's residence. You can add some people to our residence."

Mo Hua held the chestnuts in her hand, opened one that was still hot, and handed it to Jiang Yuan, who agreed happily, "Okay, okay."

Jiang Yuan said that all the bills for today would be paid by Miss Jiang. The four maids had to take a look at every stall and had three sachets hanging on their waists.

Passing by a jewelry stall, the four of them squeezed over and picked up the pens. The old lady selling jewelry kept showing the four people the beautiful ones.

Jiang Yuan took a fancy to a red velvet hairpin and red coral bead earrings, picked them up and asked her mother-in-law, "Grandma, do you have any more of these?"

The mother-in-law smiled kindly, and her voice made people happy. She nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes." Then she took out a basket from under the stall. The basket was full of velvet flowers.

There was also a box full of earrings.

"Mother-in-law, you just put these earrings in the box. There are so many of them."

The mother-in-law laughed, "You girls all look like they are from wealthy families. The things I sell at my stall are all cheap. They are just for show. The girls bring them here to play with something new."

"It's really beautiful. Grandma, did you make all these yourself?" Chunzhi picked up a velvet flower and pointed it at the bronze mirror, and asked casually.

The mother-in-law replied, "My little granddaughter and I did it together. She is shy and embarrassed to set up a stall."

Jiang Yuan took out two red velvet hairpins, two pairs of red coral bead earrings, and two silver bracelets, "Mother-in-law, please pack this for me."

Luzhu immediately understood who it was bought for, and nudged Zhishu next to her with her elbow, "Sister Zhishu, let's buy the same velvet flower and wear it together on New Year's Eve, okay?"

Zhishu readily agreed, and the four of them chose the same velvet flower hairpin, picked out earrings of corresponding colors, and each of them chose a hairpin of a different style.

Jiang Yuan happily paid the bill.

After leaving the stall, Lu Zhu asked, "Miss, the New Year gift you prepared for Miss Ran a few days ago was a pair of gold bracelets, why did you only buy these for our third and fourth girls?"

Jiang Yuan did not answer, but Chunzhi beside him gave the answer, "You are stupid, if our third and fourth daughters wore expensive jewelry, they would be robbed in the mansion, and the lady and the eldest daughter would bully the two girls to death."

"There is a shortage of money in the mansion now. If the two of them dress too well, they will definitely be hated. Now that I'm not in the mansion, the eldest sister has no place to vent her anger all day long. Don't let her bring trouble to her two younger sisters." Jiang Yuan also continued Chunzhi's words.

Lu Zhu sighed, "Alas, our two girls are also pitiful. They are about the same age as Miss Ran, but they look two years younger than Miss Ran."

Jiang Yuan didn't say anything. He thought secretly that he would find a chance to pick up both sisters. Now he could only keep them from showing up. I think his aunt also understood this.

Velvet flowers are not valuable. With my aunt's monthly allowance, there is no problem in buying two velvet flowers for my daughter. Only in this way can we keep them both safe.

After strolling around until noon, Jiang Yuan took the four of them to Jiang's house. After all, there were a lot of things that needed to be delivered, and he also had to remind Brother Liu's wife, Sister-in-law Liu, of some things.

When I got to the door, Brother Liu was climbing on the ladder to clean the door. When he saw Jiang Yuan coming, he quickly got down from the ladder and said, "Girl, you are here. You bought so many things. Come on, let me take them."

As he said that, he pushed open the door and welcomed the few people in.

Brother Liu and his family live in the outermost circle of houses. There is a room at the gate which is the "message room". Brother Liu usually sits in it. There is a small bed inside. When he has nothing to do, he can rest.

There are several rooms behind the screen wall inside the gate, surrounding one side of the small courtyard at the entrance. Brother Liu and his family live here, the couple lives in one room, the two sons live in one room, and the two daughters live in one room.

At present, there are no other servants in the Jiang residence except Brother Liu's family. The rest are a few young masters in the main house and the guards they arranged.

They don't disturb each other on weekdays. Brother Liu brushes and feeds the horses, and Sister Liu cooks for them. The main house doesn't need to be cleaned and they don't go near that place.

"Brother Liu, you also work part-time as a janitor and cleaner. Do I have to pay you an extra monthly salary?" Jiang Yuan said jokingly.

Brother Liu scratched his head and smiled, "What are you talking about, young lady? I have nothing to do on weekdays, this is what I should do. Where can I find such an easy job?"

"By the way, Brother Liu, aren't you going to send your sons to school? Have you found a private school?" Chunzhi saw Brother Liu's two sons wiping the door of the room with rags, and then she remembered what he said last time.

When talking about his son, Brother Liu was even happier. "I have found one and will send it to you after the New Year. I also want to thank you, girl. Otherwise, I can only choose one to go to school, how can I send both of them?"

When they were almost at the main courtyard, the guard at the door came forward and took the things from Brother Liu's hand. Brother Liu happily went back to his door.

Several people entered the main courtyard together.

"Is my brother here?" Jiang Yuan asked.

The guard following behind him answered, "Master Jiang is not here. He returned to the academy yesterday. Master Xue and Master Lu are here today."

As they were talking, Xue Yangling and Lu Chuan had already walked out of the house. Jiang Yuanchang came over and was familiar with them, "Brother Xue, Brother Lu."

The two of them didn't look like they were in a good mood, but they still greeted Jiang Yuan with a gentle smile.

"You bought so many things." The things were placed on the table, and Xue Yangling picked up the roll of red paper. "This is for the New Year couplets, right?"

"Well, let my brother write it himself. If you have nothing to do during the New Year, come over and play. It's a bit boring just me and my brother."

The two of them agreed happily, but there was still a look of worry on their faces.

After winking at the maid behind him, the four of them tactfully withdrew and closed the door. Jiang Yuan then asked, "Why are you two brothers so sad? Did the experiment not go well?"

Lu Chuan shook his head in denial, "No, the experiment went smoothly. Zichang has already drafted a detailed plan, and my father has also agreed that he will submit it for us after the New Year when our results are more complete."

"Then what are you doing?"

Xue Yangling frowned, "It's Brother Xie. He went to suppress the bandits, but it wasn't going well. He wrote to say that those were probably not simple bandits. We are worried about his safety."
