d back down the mountain path by my older brother, wasn't it a little pointless"Zong Bai heard her turning around and reprimanded, "Yulian, you should be more respectful to your sister-in-law.""You're...Zhao Xingzhou felt awkward taking so many valuable things from her. What he had prepared for Fang Jinshu was not even a fraction of the value of her Zichan robe.

The hairpin was made of gold inlaid with jade, and on its surface was carved a delicate lotus flower. Fang Jinshi thought of the jade lotus at first sight of this hairpin.

It just so happened.

Yu Lian's eyes lit up at the sight of the hairpin, her excitement evident.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, is this hairpin for me"

She couldn't quite believe it. Growing up, besides the cloth flowers her mother had made for her from fabric and thread, she hadn't owned any other jewelry.

Last time, Su Yusheng also gave her two pieces of jewelry. After they broke up, she returned them all.

This was the first piece of jewelry she had truly received. Yulian carefully took it, holding it in her hands like her mother did, treating it as a precious treasure.

Mu shi saw this and couldn't help but smile, "Come, let mother put it on for you."

Jade Lotus nodded eagerly. Everyone was praising how beautiful the hairpin looked on her head. Jade Lotus blushed with shyness and ran back to her room, embarrassed by all the attention.

Fang Jinshi laughed out loud, this girl is still a child.

She then took out a more understated hairpin and a set of writing brushes, offering them to Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin was taken aback upon receiving the gift, a look of surprise on his face.

"Could I, too,"

"What is this hairpin"

"This hairpin is for Miss Qianqian. After all, she's a young lady. If she can dress up a little prettier, it should help improve her mood."

“This set of brushes and ink is for you, it’s nothing special, please don’t mind Mr. Qin.”

Qin Chongyan laughed heartily, "Madam Zong, you're joking. The old man is overjoyed to receive a gift, no need for such expense."

Fang Jinshiu said, "Zongbo's studies still require Mr. to put in more effort. In the future, if Mr. needs anything, please feel free to tell me."

You're welcome.

Qin Chongyan nodded. Fang Jinxiu only wanted to send him calligraphy and ink separately, and he wasn't that touched in his heart.

After all, Zong Bai is currently relying on him to study.

But she was so thoughtful as to also prepare a gift for Qianqian. This kind of thoughtfulness is something that someone who only weighs the pros and cons can't do.

He accepted Fang Jinxiu's kindness, and he looked at her with a little more respect. This girl was thoughtful.

"Zongbai, this is the book I brought you. Be sure to read it carefully."

If this world had three years of college entrance exams and five years of mock exams, Fang Jinxiu would definitely buy all of them for him.

Zong Bai smiled and stepped forward, "Thank you, sister-in-law! I love books."

Even if his sister-in-law didn't bring him anything, he was happy.

And in the house, several young maids, Zhao Xingzhou had prepared some materials including sachets for each of them.

In the pouch, she had added some medicinal herbs for repelling mosquitos in addition to the usual spices. Mosquitos were abundant in the mountains and getting bitten was very unpleasant.

After receiving the fragrant sachets and thanking Fang Jinshi, the girls giggled and huddled together, whispering excitedly about the patterns on their sachets.

Fang Jinshi didn't explicitly mention to them that she had added extra herbs to their sachets. She didn't think much of this little thing.

But Xiaoyue carefully noticed that the sachet smelled faintly of medicinal herbs, a scent she found very familiar.

She peeked inside and sure enough, there were the various mosquito-repelling herbs that Sister Jinxiu usually handled.

She pulled Jin Yu and Qiu Ju aside, showing them something.

"Look, Jinxiu Jie specially put this in for us."

Jin Yu, following Xiao Yue in helping Fang Jinxiu manage the medicinal herbs for a period of time, naturally knew what was inside.

"It is an herb for repelling insects."

"Yes, which household would usually be so kind to a maid like this Sister Jinxiu is really good to us, she never mentions it."

Autumn Chrysanthemum also nodded in agreement. Before coming to the Zong family, she had been brainwashed by Spring Orchid and harbored many misunderstandings about Sister Jinshu.

Still think she's heartless.

Now that she thinks about it, she feels guilty. She was being too small-minded.

How could someone who is so considerate to the maids in their own home be such a heartless person

"We should be kind and honest people. In this world, who outside would treat us so well"

Two young girls nodded, clutching the scent pouches in their hands even tighter.

Fang Jinshu didn't expect that a small thing she did casually would earn her three die-hard fans.

Xiaoyue, Jinyu, and Qiujing remained loyal to their mistress throughout their lives, dedicating themselves to her until their deaths.specific reason.""But it's probably related to his sister who is getting married soon. Probably short on money."I promised him that if someone bought him, I would pay an extra twenty taels to deliver...
