After arriving in the Northern Song dynasty, Suxin is sold to the Fan family of Chuzhou as a maid. The head of the family is the Deputy Prefect of Chuzhou.
The master has a promising career and is about to be promoted.
His wife's family is influential, and she comes from a distinguished family.
The other young ladies and masters are all being matched with excellent marriage prospects.
Suxin has no one to rely on. All she can do is style hair and apply makeup, a skill that might make her useful to someone.
In such a large household, if she wants to stand out, she has to consider what she is capable of.
Seeing how badly her coworkers fare when they compete for attention, Suxin's spirits immediately sink.
The flames of a hot stove are too fierce. Get too close and you'll be burned to death before you know it. So Suxin decides to curry favor with the overlooked Third Young Lady.
*
The Fan family's Second Young Lady prides herself on her talent and refinement, but for her husband's career, she has no choice but to humble herself and socialize with others.
After paying five hundred taels of silver, she finally manages to obtain an invitation to a gathering of civil officials and their wives and daughters in Bianjing.
There is a certain Madam Xu at the banquet, an important person who can help smooth her husband's career path.
But when the Second Young Lady of the Fan family gets a clear look at Madam Xu, she is so shocked that she can barely speak.
The woman with the bearing of a noble lady is none other than the little maid who used to style the Third Young Lady's hair at her parents' home.

Pre-release: Matchmaking Houses in the Northern Song Dynasty. Please add it to your reading list. Blurb:
After arriving in the Northern Song dynasty, Xue Xiao is sold to the Lin family, whose head manages the Office of Residences, as a maid.
The Office of Residences is like the Northern Song's "state-owned property management bureau." It mainly manages and rents out government-owned houses, collecting rent and handling maintenance.
As the Lin family's lowest-ranking maid, Xue Xiao has no time to worry about any of that.
Before dawn, she has to wash the socks and trousers of the maids and matrons in the courtyard. When she knocks over a bucket, she gets a long scolding from the household manager, Nanny Chun.
Looking at the dark road ahead, Xue Xiao decides to return to her old profession.
.
It so happens that the position of property broker in the Northern Song has just been formalized and written into law.
The Song Code stipulates that "land and property transactions must be conducted through a broker; violators shall be treated as thieves," making it clear that real estate transactions must go through brokers or else they are illegal.
Xue Xiao was a top seller at her real estate company for years. Now that she is selling houses in ancient times, it's only natural that she handles it with ease.
When a coworker flatters her, Xue Xiao babysits the client's children and shops for groceries. She even makes sure to visit on the right day to congratulate a client whose old dog has had puppies.
When a coworker has a good property with a great layout, Xue Xiao hand-draws a floor plan and explains every detail of the house. She even custom-builds a wheelchair ramp for a client's eighty-year-old mother.
When coworkers lead the way in excluding and isolating her, Xue Xiao has already bought property in Bianjing and is using it to finance more.
She never expected to become a famous nouveau riche in Bianjing.
*
The Lin family's eldest daughter comes to the capital for the first time to rent a house for her husband, who has come to Bianjing to take up an official post.
A kind person points her in the right direction. "Go south along Imperial Street and look for the tallest building. That's where the broker Xue lives."
Though Miss Lin is also the daughter of an official, she grew up in the provinces and has never seen such a luxurious, extravagant house.
After spending ten taels of silver, she finally manages to meet Broker Xue, but the Lin family's young lady is left stunned for a long time.
The woman surrounded by servants, dressed in fine silk and covered in pearls and jade, is none other than the low-ranking maid she once scolded in her own home.

I'm convinced, Xiba, you are a brainless thing. If a military advisor becomes your wife's wife and doesn't even give you the title of concubine, then you will be ruined. Let the heroine know quickly and run away.
4 Is clearly linked to the palace. 1 Can't see it. 2 This signature directly expresses arrogance, which is really arrogant. When I think of the king coming over, I don't know the cause and effect, and then I fall in love directly. Well, it's also a bad fate.
No one has ever won the lottery before. Today I got two at once hahaha. It seems that both the heroine and the hero are self-made types ()
It seems that the second girl is dating the boy named Wang. Is the fourth girl going to the palace?
Just because of this? You have to marry someone else's daughter
I still find it funny. The third girl said that it's not that she can't support the heroine to be an aunt, but that she needs to rely on the heroine to support her as a girl. They are all supported by the heroine. . I feel so confident that I can survive even after marriage ()
It's quite beautiful. I didn't expect to find the answer to v.
Finally updated!!! I'm so unhappy with Mrs. Gao's attitude. When will the heroine leave? I just saw a brief introduction and remembered that I haven't seen her doing makeup for a long time.
Why does the male protagonist smell like revenge? Very scheming but pretentious,
Looking at the front, I think they are people in their 20s, but when I saw this, I remembered that they were still a group of elementary school students. I laughed so hard.
