The first watch, seeking pink.

Lian Manman was silently calculating in her heart: her family consisted of six members, two adults and four children. Together, they owned over two hundred acres of land, a breakfast shop, a pickled vegetable workshop, and a grape wine workshop. Just by this count, her family should have already stepped into the threshold of being landlords.
Scholars, peasants, artisans, and merchants.
With the Emperor himself bestowing honors and commendation with an imperial archway, even without anyone in her family holding an official post, they already possessed an extraordinary status, even surpassing that of the average scholar.
Looking at it this way, her family was not only landlords, but also the most respectable landlords.
However, from another perspective, her family only had several shop assistants, a single ox cart at home, and though they employed temporary workers during the harvest, they did not yet have any long-term workers.
