Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

"Miss, are you going to learn calligraphy today?" When Li Qiu came into the room with the wash water, Ye Ziyu had already gotten up. In the past few days, because she didn't have to practice calligraphy, Ye Ziyu got up late.

"Well, I've been practicing these few days and it seems that what I learned before is almost the same. I'll go find Sister to teach me some new things."

Liqiu helped Ye Ziyu clean up, and Lixia brought breakfast. Because the weather was getting colder, Jiang Xu had not asked them to say good morning since Ye Ziyu fell ill last time.

"It's been getting colder these past few days. When did second brother come back last night?"

"I heard from the doorman that the second young master did not return home last night."

"You didn't go home? Isn't the curfew in the mansion at 11:45?"

"That's what the master stipulated, but the eldest and second young masters often came home very late before. Later, the master said that as long as the eldest and second young masters didn't do anything improper, he would not care about them. However, the young ladies and other young masters still had to return home before 11:45 p.m."

"Strange, they are special and the other young masters didn't say anything. Go find Xiaohua."

The beginning of autumn arrived and soon brought little flowers with it.

"Miss." Xiaohua bowed when she saw Ye Ziyu.

"Make a few more clothes based on the pattern of the last one, but don't put the feathers in them yet. I'll send someone to tell you later whether the feathers should be the same as last time or with more. Oh, and you can embroider some patterns on some of the clothes, like normal clothes that are suitable for girls to wear."

"Yes, Miss, how did the dress turn out last time?" Xiaohua asked expectantly. When she was making it, she felt that the dress was quite warm in her hands and very light.

"I'm still trying it on, so I don't know the exact effect yet. Go back and work on the shape first."

"Okay." Xiaohua stepped back.

After finishing her meal, Ye Ziyu went to Ye Qingyin's place.

"Hey, come here, where is the eldest lady?" Ye Ziyu went to Ye Qingyin's place and found that Ye Qingyin was not there, so she asked a maid who was cleaning the house.

"Fifteen minutes ago the master sent someone to call the eldest daughter to the mistress's place."

"Two quarters of an hour ago? Why haven't you come back in such a long time? Is there something urgent?"

"I don't know about this, but from the look of the young lady, it doesn't seem to be a matter of urgency."

"Okay, you go down." Ye Ziyu thought about it and decided to go back to the house first and come back later.

After returning to the house, Ye Ziyu asked Lixia to take out the ore that Ye Jiaxuan had sent before. Ye Ziyu picked up the ore and looked at it left and right, "I've been thinking about this material, but how do I grind it into powder?" Ye Ziyu remembered that ore could also be used to make graphite powder, but he couldn't remember how.

"Why are you staring at this stone?" Ye Jiaxuan came in and saw Ye Ziyu staring at the stone motionlessly.

"Second brother, you're back?" Ye Ziyu was brought back to his senses by Ye Jiaxuan's voice.

"Well, let me tell you how this dress feels. I wore it all day yesterday. It was quite warm during the day and I didn't need to wear a cloak. But it was a little chilly at night when the temperature dropped."

"Why are you still out so late at night? I thought you were staying at someone else's house, that's why you didn't come back at night."

"I was delayed by something last night. It was already very late when I returned, so I stayed at a friend's house for the night."

"Oh, I was thinking of wearing this during the day. It's a little too thin to wear at night, and it needs some more down. I'll ask Xiaohua to make a few feathered ones for dad, brother and you later, so you don't have to be afraid to wear them at night." Ye Ziyu originally wanted to call Lixia to tell Xiaohua, but thinking that Xiaohua had been in her courtyard recently and hadn't seen Fucai for a while, she told Fucai to pass on the message and asked Fucai to find Xiaohua.

"This guy Fucai really can't stand not seeing his wife for a day. He gets so excited every time I come here." Ye Jiaxuan said with a smile.

"It turns out that Fucai really likes Xiaohua." Ye Ziyu also smiled.

Seeing the smile on Ye Ziyu's face, Ye Jiaxuan said, "Sister, you must find someone who truly loves you in the future, and who must love you more than you love him."

Ye Ziyu was suddenly confused by this sentence, "Second brother, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, just a sudden emotion. By the way, why are you staring at this thing in front of you?"

"I was so busy wanting this thing that I forgot I wanted its processed product. I was thinking about how to process it." Ye Ziyu supported his chin with a frown on his face.

"What do you want to process it into?"

"Powder, grind it into powder." If it were to be ground into powder in modern times it would be easy, but now emmm... it's a problem.

"That's easy. Leave it to me and I'll bring you some powder when the time comes." Ye Jiaxuan said as he walked away with the stone.

"Where is my second brother going?"

"Go and process it for you."

Fucai hadn't been with Xiaohua for a few minutes when Ye Jiaxuan called him away again. Xiaohua saw Fucai off to the door and watched him leave reluctantly. "Don't worry, you'll be reunited with him soon. Miss will let you go after the clothes are ready." Liqiu shook his head and patted Xiaohua's shoulder.

Xiaohua blushed and said, "I won't leave. The young lady needs me, so I will stay here." Fucai had said before that the young lady would have other things to do in the future and would need a reliable and diligent embroiderer. Fucai recommended herself to the second young master and entrusted such an important task to her, so she must do it well.

"Oh, you're still staying here and refusing to leave. Fu Cai will definitely come to blame the young lady and say that she won't let you go." Li Qiu joked.

"He won't. It's my blessing to be able to work for the young lady. Besides, the young lady has to listen to me." Xiaohua looked proud. "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to make clothes for the young lady."

"You ran away after just two sentences, huh."

"You're still teasing her. I think you haven't had enough dog food." Yifeng suddenly said.

"Where did you come from? You scared me to death." Li Qiu was frightened by Yifeng. "You walked without making any sound, like a ghost." Li Qiu said and ran away.

“???” Yifeng looked confused.

"Why is your face so red? Didn't you go to find Xiaohua?" Liqiu ran back to the room. Ye Ziyu asked when she saw Liqiu with a red face.

"Really? Maybe it's because I feel hot after running here." Li Qiu touched his face with both hands.

"Why are you running over here? Just walk slowly. I'm fine. Be careful of the cold wind when running in winter. It will make you uncomfortable."

"I know, I know, Miss. You won't run away next time. Your stone has been taken away by the second young master. Do we still need to make things?" After Ye Ziyu came back from looking for Ye Qingyin, she asked Liqiu to prepare flour and salt.

"Do it. Bring it up."

Li Qiu went to get all the prepared things. Ye Ziyu poured one part flour and 7/8 parts salt into a bowl and mixed them evenly. Then she took a bigger bowl and poured the things she had just mixed into it. She added water little by little and stirred it evenly with a wooden spoon until there were uniform tiny particles and it was non-sticky. When Ye Ziyu was almost done, she put it aside to dry.

"Is sister back?" Ye Ziyu asked Lixia to keep an eye on her, and Ye Qingyin would come back to tell her, but it felt like a long time had passed and Lixia still hadn't come to report.

"Not yet." Lixia shook her head.

"What's going on? Father and mother have been talking to my sister for so long." Ye Ziyu muttered, "It looks like I won't be able to learn it today."

"Miss, Miss Liu sent you an invitation to go shopping this afternoon." Li Qiu came in from outside.

"I agreed. I happened to have nothing to do in the afternoon and I was feeling bored." Ye Ziyu said.

"Zhizhi!" Ye Ziyu arrived at the gate and found Liu Zhizhi already waiting there.

"Ayu, you're here. Where's sister Ayin?" Liu Zhizhi saw Ye Ziyu coming out and walked over.

"Sister is busy with something, why are you here so early? It's so cold waiting outside, why don't you get in the carriage?"

"I don't have anything to do, so I came to pick you up. Fortunately, I'm not very cold, so I'll wait outside. Oh, by the way, Linglong, bring the pastries." Liu Zhizhi shouted to the carriage.

Linglong handed the cake to Ye Ziyu, "Didn't you say the plum blossom pastry was delicious last time? I made some more today. There are other things besides plum blossom pastry. You can try them and see which one is better."

"Wow, you made so many delicious foods for me again, thank you Zhizhi." Ye Ziyu hugged Liu Zhizhi tightly.

"As long as you like it." Liu Zhizhi smiled happily.

"You are such a great cook, and everything you make is delicious. Of course I like to eat it. Oh, by the way, Zhizhi, some friends ate the cakes you made last time and they also said they were delicious and wanted to buy some."

"Really? Who is it? I'll make more for her next time." Liu Zhizhi was very happy that someone liked the pastries she made.

"Don't give it as a gift. You'll be at a loss. Those people will eat a lot of it. Here's what I'm thinking. Your pastries are so delicious. Why don't you consider opening a small pastry shop? You don't have to rent a store or set up a stall or anything. I can help you take orders, and then you make them for them. Anyway, you make them by hand, so we can set it up to be done once a week. Just make as much as you want. This way, you won't be too tired, and you can still make some money..." Ye Ziyu gestured.

"Can I really open a store? Actually, I think my performance is just average." Liu Zhizhi was not very confident.

"Really! It's delicious! Even my brother, who doesn't like cakes, thought it was delicious after trying it."

"Yeah, but I don't understand business, I..."

"It's okay. Leave the business of your small shop to me. You can do it when there are orders."

"Uh-huh."

"Let's go, let's get in the car and go shopping, get in my carriage." Ye Ziyu pulled Liu Zhizhi to get in the car.

"Ayu, why don't you take my carriage? Look, my carriage is here." Liu Zhizhi didn't move.

"Okay." Ye Ziyu followed Liu Zhizhi and walked over. "Hey, Zhizhi, did your family change the carriage? I remember it wasn't this one last time."

"Well, my father said that in order to make it more convenient for me and my mother to travel, he changed to a bigger carriage. Today is also the first time I ride in this carriage."

"No wonder you wanted me to ride in your carriage. It turns out you wanted me to feel your good stuff first. Let's go." Ye Ziyu got into the carriage, and Liu Zhizhi followed.

"It's quite warm in this carriage. Why weren't you in the carriage just now when it was so warm?" Ye Ziyu thought that because the temperature in the carriage was about the same as outside, Liu Zhizhi didn't wait in the carriage.

"I want to go down and pick you up, hehe."

"Then that maid was also bought by your father for you."

"Well, my father bought a maid for me and my mother. My father said that we are different now, and we have to bring a maid with us when we travel."

"Your father is very good to you and your mother, but you can act arrogant and act like a lady in front of this maid." Ye Ziyu said the latter part of this sentence close to Liu Zhizhi's ear. She could tell from the beginning that this maid did not seem to be honest, well-behaved and obedient.

"What's wrong?" Liu Zhizhi felt that Ye Ziyu's expression was a little serious.

"It's nothing, I just feel that you are a little weak. Let me remind you that if you want your servants to obey you, you have to subdue them first." Ye Ziyu said.

Liu Zhizhi nodded, not quite understanding.

"Where are we going today?"

"I want you to go shopping for some jewelry with me. I don't know much about that either."

"Okay, take me there today and I'll keep you company and give you advice. But I don't know much about jewelry. I buy things based on whether they look good or not. My sister knows a little more, but she's busy."

"Then you can accompany me to look around today, and if we can't find something suitable, let Sister Yin help us choose next time."

"can."

"This is my child. Who are you and why are you trying to steal my child?" A woman's voice rang out.

"Come home with me and don't run around outside with the child." A man's voice rang out.

"Yes, yes, hurry back home with my son. It would be very dangerous if something happened to you if you ran away with the child."

"No, I don't know you. Who are you? Let me go. Help us. Please save us."

"Wow~~ Mom, wow~~"

"What's going on out front? Why is it so noisy?" Liu Zhizhi asked. The two of them had just come out of a jewelry store when they heard a quarrel over there and a group of people gathered over.

Ye Ziyu: Why does this conversation sound so familiar? ? ?

"Let's go in and take a look." Ye Ziyu pulled Liu Zhizhi over.

"Ah, there are so many people. Shall we go in and take a look?" Liu Zhizhi saw a group of people gathered in front of her.

"Don't be afraid, just follow me closely." Ye Ziyu pulled Liu Zhizhi, "Make way, make way, yeah, make way, thank you." Ye Ziyu led Liu Zhizhi all the way forward and squeezed into the innermost part. In front of them was a woman sitting on the ground holding her son, with a man and an old woman standing next to them.

Ye Ziyu: Hiss~ familiar routine.

"Come home with me quickly. It's embarrassing to have so many people looking at you." The man said as he walked forward and grabbed the woman's arm and child.

"I already said I don't know you, let me go."

The people around were talking about it, and the man said, "This is my wife, her brain is not working well, she doesn't recognize me, everyone go away, I will take her back now."

"Yes, yes, this is my son's wife. We didn't keep an eye on her and she ran away." The old woman echoed.

When the people around heard this, they felt that it was someone else's family affair and wanted to disperse.

"I really don't know them. Don't go, don't go. Save me, save me." The woman kept shouting and struggled to break free from the man's hand.

The man went forward to pull the woman, and the old woman went to pick up the child.

"and many more……"
