The most hateful thing was that Wang Dongquan from Baoxing Rice Shop actually listened to a half-grown child and really left the residence to start preparing for the porridge stall.

What about her orders as the mistress of the household?

Yang Shuwan was so angry that her head hurt. Nanny Li was worried that she was having a headache again, so she hurriedly got someone to brew Doctor Ding’s medicine and brought it over for Yang Shuwan to drink.

After Yu Jianjia finished her studies and found out about this matter, she came to the main courtyard. “Big Sister is right to make such an arrangement. She’s only a young child. She can still manage the family, but if she’s short-handed, she won’t be able to extend her reach outside. She was the one who suggested setting up this porridge stall, and she also wanted Mother to step in to represent the residence. You will be the one gaining a good reputation.”

When Yang Shuwan heard this, she immediately beamed. “I was angry, and I didn’t think about it.”

Yu Jianjia smiled. “Mother was sick for a while, and Eldest Sister was in charge of the household. There were also many rumors outside. Now that Mother has regained control of the household, it’s time for you to go out and show your face so that outsiders will know who you are. Now that Mother is in charge of the household, no one in the Yu Residence can surpass you.”

Yang Shuwan nodded repeatedly when she heard this. How could she still be angry?

The next day, Yu Youyao heard that Yang Shuwan had gone to Baoxing Rice Shop early in the morning.

Xia Tao was a little unhappy. “Eldest Miss was the one who wanted to build the porridge stall.”

Yu Youyao lowered her head and copied the Ksitigarbha Sutra without looking up. “Why are you arguing about this? I built the porridge shed for Grandmother, not for her. Even if she gained face, she can’t surpass Grandmother. This porridge shed was built because Grandmother was paying respects to Buddha. Grandmother will be proud, and the Yu Residence will also gain a good reputation. Why not?”

After the porridge shed was built, the reputation of the Yu Residence’s kindness spread in the capital.

Yang Shuwan followed suit and also showed her face.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth of April.

Yu Youyao woke up early in the morning and did not learn etiquette with Nanny Xu. Instead, she asked Dong Mei to help her change into a plain white dress that reached her chest. Her clothes were very clean, and there were no additional accessories. Not only that, she was only wearing the simplest jewelry, making her look plain.

After washing up, Yu Youyao had a simple breakfast and instructed Chun Xiao, “Bring all the Buddhist scriptures that I’ve copied recently. The Ksitigarbha Sutra is to be worshiped in front of Mother’s eternal flame. The Longevity Sutra is to be worshiped by Buddha to pray for Grandmother’s health and longevity. Don’t get it wrong.”

Chun Xiao nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry then, Miss.”

Just as it was 7am in the morning, Qing Xiu came over. “Old Madam sent me over to ask if Eldest Miss is ready.”

“We can leave now.” Yu Youyao brought Xia Tao and Chun Xiao to An Shou Hall.

Old Madam Yu was dressed in grayish-blue and had combed her hair into a bun. She did not even wear much jewelry and was also indifferent. “Have you brought all the scriptures you’ve copied?”

Seeing Yu Youyao nod, Old Madam Yu left with her granddaughter.

When elders went out, the family would definitely send them off.

At this moment, Madam Yao was already waiting in front of the door, but Yang Shuwan was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that Old Madam had come over, Madam Yao hurriedly went forward to greet her. “I’ve copied some Buddhist scriptures. I’ll have to trouble you to bring them when you worship Buddha.”

With that, she handed over the sandalwood box containing the Buddhist scriptures.

Nanny Liu received it with a smile. Old Madam Yu nodded. “Thank you.”

Madam Yao smiled. “Mother, you have to take care of your health when you’re outside.”

Just as they were talking, they saw Nanny Li rushing over with an ebony wooden box. She bowed to Old Madam Yu. “Today is the last day of the porridge tent in the rice shop, and also the most important day. First Madam went to Baoxing Rice Shop early in the morning to manage it. She wanted to complete this good deed so that it could have a good ending, so she couldn’t come over to send Old Madam off. Old Madam, please don’t blame her.”

Old Madam Yu’s expression was indifferent, but she did not say anything.

After Yao Yao made the arrangements for the porridge stall at home, she told her about it. It was supposed to be a kind deed, so Old Madam Yu was more concerned about it. There was nothing to be unclear about.

Madam Yang was initially unhappy, but on the sixth of April, when she showed her face outside, she jumped up and down. Every day, she did not do anything serious and just ran to the rice shop.

After the first branch built the porridge tent, the second branch also built a porridge tent.

Why wasn’t Madam Yao jumping up and down over such a small matter like her? It was obvious that she couldn’t manage her own family, so Yao Yao had to suppress her arrogance. She was looking for an opportunity to show off and let others see her shine.

She was really embarrassing to watch.

Nanny Li was also embarrassed. She quickly handed over the sandalwood box. “Although First Madam didn’t come, she’s very filial to Old Madam and respectful to Buddha. She’s copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures recently, so I’ll have to trouble Old Madam to bring them over to worship Buddha so that Buddha can see our sincerity.”

Nanny Liu took it with a smile and did not say much.

Old Madam Yu turned to Yu Youyao and said, “It’s time to set off. It’s better to be early than late for the Buddhist Festival.”

There were two carriages arranged in the residence. One was for Old Madam Yu and Yu Youyao, while the other was for the servants. Old Madam Yu was old, so the carriage moved slowly.

It was rare for Yu Youyao to go out. When the carriage drove onto the street, she lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. The grandfather and granddaughter sat together and chatted about what was happening outside.

At this moment, the carriage passed by Baoxing Rice Shop. Yu Youyao’s gaze paused.

When Old Madam Yu saw this, she also found it very eye-catching.

After a while, there was a long line of people waiting to eat the porridge in front of Baoxing Rice Shop.

Yang Shuwan was dressed in green clothes and had a headscarf on her head. She stood in the porridge shed beside Baoxing Rice Shop and helped to give out the porridge with a big spoon. This scene was nothing much. No matter who made the porridge shed, the owner would definitely do this.

However, beside her was Yu Jianjia, who was also dressed plainly like her.

The young lady was holding a smaller spoon and standing in front of the big pot with a smile. Whenever someone came up to her, she would give up the porridge and smile as she called out to them.

Old Madam Yu looked away and sneered. “She’s only a young girl but she’s socializing outside. She’s really capable. She’s just an eight or nine-year-old girl. She still has a long way to go. Her reputation is the thing that matters, not what she is doing now.”

Yu Youyao said nothing. She only poured a cup of medicinal tea and handed it to her grandmother.

Old Madam Yu took it but did not drink it. “Which young lady’s reputation doesn’t first spread from the residence to the outside world? If it’s a little bigger, it’ll be reflected after the elders in the family bring her to the various families. I’ve never heard of any young lady from a big family getting her reputation from the streets.”
