Time travels back to the prosperous Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty. Cheng Miaoyi lives in the countryside of Yuezhou, far away from Jiangling Mansion. Her father worked hard to save his family from a street vendor and moved into Jiangling Mansion with his wife and children.
Just when he straightened up in front of his two half-brothers, he unexpectedly fell down due to an epidemic.
In order to take medicine and cure his illness, he emptied his family's fortune and sold his house. After all, he was not in good health.
A family of four squeezed into a narrow and dark hut in Dishui Lane. The mother, daughter and father lived separated by a curtain.
During the day, Miaoyi had to take care of her father, wash clothes, prepare dinner, and wait for her mother and brother to come back from work. At night, Miaoyi would paste paper boxes and pile silk flowers under the weak oil lamp.
I wanted to think about making some money, but my father's health was deteriorating.
Knowing that she couldn't delay it any longer, she suddenly remembered that during the day, when Qiao Erniang was chatting with someone at the Xiangmei Shop, she said that the Xie family, the guardian of Jiangling Mansion, was hiring a female envoy.
The lowest female servant also has thirty strings.
Miaoyi thought about it. After five years of contract, plus her brother, the two of them would have sixty strings. If they could learn some skills...
Intention: Unyielding and upward
