Family Matters

at do you want to eat" I took out my phone to look.There are a few messages on my phone, all from my brother asking about how I'm doing. He thought I was still working and didn't want to call and dist...Apparently, the most important job for the little Hades Empress is still taking care of the little ancestor.

It's really both infuriating and amusing.

We returned to the room, and the maids were truly dedicated to their duty. There were four of them in a group: two guarding the door and two guarding the bed.

Two little bundles of joy were sleeping soundly in the bed, one with their bottom sticking up and the other with their belly facing the ceiling.

Jiang Qiyun truly treated these maids as if they were invisible. He whispered to me, "I'll go back and handle some things first. Don't be reluctant to use them; they exist to serve our daily needs."

"Got it." I nodded.

It's the middle of the night now, he must be going to make arrangements about Old Master Wang.

"Little Lady, would you like us to prepare some food" a maid asked softly.

I widened my eyes: "You... can make fireworks food"

She looked at her sisters beside her and said a little uncertainly, "… We can give it a try."

I nodded, if only they could cook better.

"That...if you don't know how to use it, just ask me, okay" I added.

They nodded and filed out.

I saw the two children sleeping soundly, their beds neatly tucked in with blankets. I went to the small bathroom to take an infusion of mugwort to dispel the gloominess.

After a while, there was movement coming from the kitchen. My brother suddenly opened the door, and I jumped in fright as I stood by the doorway. "When did you get back!"

He scratched his head: “Huh I just got back a while ago… I’m exhausted, fell asleep as soon as I lay down.”

Seeing him yawn so widely, I asked in surprise, "Are you okay Brother, have you been abused"

He was stunned, and poked my forehead with his hand, saying: "How is that possible! I was only forced to participate in the initial research! After Qin heard about it, she went to the director's office every day and sat there. The director wouldn't dare to make things difficult for me."

Pffff…

"Then I was worrying for nothing!"

My brother rubbed my head and asked, "What's going on in the kitchen Isn't the Stove Lord watching over things After eating so many offerings, he still doesn't get any work done..."

He grumbled as he lifted the heavy cotton door curtain.

The four maidservants said a little awkwardly, “We’ve burned the soup…”

I looked at that pot of noodles, half stuck to the bottom. It's definitely because the water wasn't boiling before they were put in, and then the fire was too high, and they didn't even stir them.

My brother was stunned for a moment before he replied, " ... Didn't Stove God teach you how to use cooking appliances This noodles is so pathetic... Little Qiao, what do you want to eat I'm starving too. Should I order takeout"

My brother swiped through his phone, and I took it over to tap on a few things. He glanced at me after taking it back and said with a smirk, "You're made of marshmallows Your heart is so soft!"

I smiled and turned to ask the four maids, "What are your names I've seen you a few times but haven't had time to ask."

"Little Lady can call us whatever she wants..." a blue sash maid whispered.

They should be of a lower status in the underworld, right They are said to have been born from the enlightenment of the previous generation of venerated gods.

My brother scoffed and said, "Just call them red, blue, black, and purple clothes. Why all these fancy names"

"Isn't this a bit too random And black is such an unflattering color." I stared speechless at the four belts these maids wore, red, green, black, and purple.

Then, let's wear the ink-colored robes.

Before I could even speak, the girl named Mo Yi had already bowed deeply and said, “Thank you, honorable elder brother, for giving me a name.”

When she said that, the others also thanked my brother.

"Hmm, alright," my brother said with a raised eyebrow.

My uncle-in-law is truly imposing.

My brother said I'm like cotton candy. That's because I added several bowls of plain noodles to the shrine, and wrote the new names for these little maids on a white talisman paper.

"Little Empress, you're so good." Hong Yi stuck out her tongue.

Actually, they aren't that strict. Perhaps they've gotten used to Jiang Qiyun

Jiang Qiyun often communicated with his subordinates through his eyes. These maids, responsible for his daily life, probably hadn't heard him give a direct order in years

"Xiao Qiao, will you accompany me to pick out clothes tomorrow" My brother suddenly spoke.

I bit into a noodle, foolishly asking, "What kind of clothes"

He curled his lip and said, "What else could there be... That thing the old man gave you is amazing, they say even the Grand Elder and the soon-to-be head of the Lin family went to see it. Lin Yanqin said her father told her personally to arrange a meeting with me as soon as possible."

I nodded and whispered, "What exactly is it It resembles a small bronze cauldron, but it's not quite. It has a lid, rings, and a movable axle; the craftsmanship is beyond compare… it must be something extraordinary..."

My brother came over and whispered, “Inside is the Six Harmonies Artifact! And it’s completely intact! Not a single piece of jade is broken! It's priceless…”

He raised his hand and made a "shh" gesture.

Of course I know the value of treasures. Bronze vessels alone are already very precious, I didn't expect there to be ritual objects inside.

My brother said that "Six Harmonies Ritual Vessels" are actually a later interpretation, but it's possible to estimate the era—they date back to the Zhou Dynasty...This is incredibly valuable.

Ancient people believed that the heaven and earth, east, west, south, and north constituted the Six Harmonies. During the Zhou Dynasty, sacrificial rituals were summarized into a strict and systematic set of theories. The highest-ranking ritual vessels were the Bi (璧), Cong (琮), Gui (珪), Zhang (璋), Hu (琥), and Huang (璜).

Among them, Cangbi serves the heaven, Huangcong serves the earth; Qinggui serves the east, Chizhang serves the south, Baihu serves the west, and Xuanhuang serves the north.

Throughout history, the upper echelons have always emphasized aligning with heaven and humanity. Of course, they wouldn't dare say it so openly nowadays, but this principle is deeply ingrained in their bloodline heritage.

This thing suddenly popping up will definitely startle a lot of high-level officials, especially since Lin's father is about to take over. This feeling is quite subtle.

Could it be that there's something Grandpa is plotting here Even if I hadn't suddenly gone back, he would have called us to come back and get it.

"Did you see Mr. Lin this time" I asked.

My brother shook his head. “I live and eat at the institute, and my phone was temporarily confiscated. How could I possibly see these bigwigs easily”

"When is Lin Yanqin planning to arrange for you guys to meet"

My brother sighed, "Who knows, I'm just following the organization's arrangements now!"

Oh oh...

"So, Lin Yanqin is now your organization's leader" I asked my brother.

"Don't laugh at me... You're so lucky, your husband takes care of everything. You just have to choose whether you love him or not... I have to worry about all this stuff myself. I wish she were an ordinary girl..."

My brother couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

I patted his head and said in a knowing tone, "Hang in there, it'll get better step by step. If she were an ordinary girl, would you still like her so much So everyone has their own destiny, hehe…Grandpa prepared a dowry for you, want to take a look"
