Ye Shiqi... truly considerate. The old housekeeper's arrangements are excellent, befitting of a grand family's housekeeper.
She was very satisfied with the care the housekeeper showed them; indeed, it was as if she had encountered a noble benefactor.
As for not having breakfast with the family, perhaps this was what it meant to enter a grand family, where one would either dine alone or be attended to by a maid, with men and women eating separately in different courtyards.
For lunch or dinner, some people preferred to stay in their own courtyard, dining alone, entertaining themselves.
However, she was different. After breakfast, she had her maids dress her up, and after arriving in the room of the courtyard, she had already placed some of her luggage in the wardrobe.
The newly arrived maid helped her find matching skirts, shoes, and jewelry.
Next to the room there was a single chamber for changing clothes, and further next door was a cloister for the maids on night duty to rest.
