Chapter 1262: Chapter 396: Return to the Homestead, Purchase a Servant (Part 2)

Grand Master Cui and the concubine-born Second Old Master Cui had gone to court, and since Old Master Cui San paid no attention to affairs, it fell upon Grand Master Cui’s eldest legitimate son to entertain Mo Qingze, the newly emerged uncle, accompanied by his older cousin and cousins once removed.

Cui Qingrou personally carried two jars of honey, and flanked by a host of nephews, she came to Old Lady Cui’s courtyard with Mo Qingze. Hearing the news, Old Lady Cui and the ladies of the residence were already waiting inside the room.

After the couple paid their kneeling respects to Old Lady Cui and exchanged greetings with the others, Mo Qingze was invited out to the outer courtyard by the group of nephews, while Cui Qingrou was pulled aside by Old Lady Cui.

Old Lady Cui carefully looked over her daughter and, seeing her rosy complexion and a newfound openness between her brows, she knew that the past few days at the Mo Family had been very comfortable for her. She patted the back of her hand reassuringly and said, "This marriage alliance was not a mistake."

Upon hearing this, Cui Qingrou’s lips unconsciously revealed a slight smile, "My husband treats your daughter well, and the children are very kind, showing great affection towards your daughter! If it weren’t for your great-granddaughter reminding me, I would have almost forgotten the matter of returning home to visit."

Hearing her daughter advocating on behalf of her "great-granddaughter," Old Lady Cui simply smiled without speaking, her gaze subtly landing on the two maids, Lvzhi and Lvmei, standing behind her daughter.

For today’s return visit, Cui Qingrou brought only two of her four big maids, Lvzhi and Lvmei. The other two, Red Tassel and Red Sleeve, were left at home to manage domestic affairs.

Lvzhi and Lvmei were both astute, instantly understanding the meaning behind Lady Cui’s gaze. Exchanging a glance, Lvzhi quickly stepped forward and said, "Old Lady, the master has been treating the young lady very well. He personally took the young lady all around these past few days. Otherwise, the young lady would not have nearly forgotten about returning home. All the young ladies and the young master changed their way of addressing her to ’Mother’. These return-home gifts were all prepared by the eldest girl, who also specially prepared some fine items for you."

As she spoke, she pointed to the two jars of honey on the tea table, "This honey was specially prepared by the eldest young lady for Old Lady and Seventh Grandma, so that both of you can have a spoonful in the morning and evening. It’s good for the spleen and stomach and can also help calm the mind. The eldest young lady truly keeps Old Lady in her heart."

Old Lady Cui’s attention was drawn to the two white porcelain jars. When Cui Qingrou entered, she had seen the jars and thought that her daughter had bought her some food from the street market. She hadn’t expected that it was the great-granddaughter who had specially prepared them.

The two jars of honey were nothing extraordinary, but the thoughtfulness behind them was precious. Her seventh son’s wife had been struggling with a poor appetite since becoming pregnant, growing thinner than before she was expecting; she herself was getting on in years, sleeping less at night and also experiencing a declining appetite. She hadn’t expected that her great-granddaughter would remember her and specially prepare these two jars of honey.

Seeing the faint pride on her daughter’s face, Old Lady Cui slowly smiled and finally believed that her daughter had found the happiness that belonged to a woman, "They are all good children with pure hearts. In the future, they will be your support. Treat them well, and they will remember it in their hearts."

Cui Qingrou restrained her smile and nodded gently, "They are my children."

After all, how could there be any reason not to love one’s own children?

No sooner had Mo Qingze and Cui Qingrou left than Mo Yan arrived in a separate carriage, heading swiftly for the renowned Dentist in the Eastern Market.

This Dentist specialized in the trade of servants, and its fame arose from the shopkeeper’s particular skill in training newly acquired individuals. Many wealthy households in urgent need of servants would come to make direct purchases from here. Naturally, the prices were considerably higher compared to other dentist establishments.

The reason Mo Yan knew of this Dentist was from the information she had gathered from Lady Han.

Seeing a visitor, the Dentist’s shopkeeper enthusiastically ushered Mo Yan in, treating her with great hospitality and fine refreshments.

Upon learning that Mo Yan wished to purchase two big maids and four smaller maids, as well as a few rough serving women all at once, the shopkeeper’s eyes lit up with joy as he flattered her eagerly, "The early bird may catch the worm, but the timely visitor finds the best deals. We just happen to have a batch of well-trained newcomers who haven’t yet been chosen by other customers, Miss, your luck is truly good."

Mo Yan, well aware of the sales tactics, nodded and stood up saying, "Well then, let’s go pick them. It’s not a problem if we don’t find the right ones; the family isn’t in a hurry to have them."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper’s smile broadened even more. Someone who was not in a rush yet willing to pay a high price at their establishment was either flushed with silver or had great trust in their Dentist shop. Either way, it was a good thing.

"Miss, please, this way, and mind the threshold!"
