Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C139

Lv Yun squinted her eyes: “Yes, these dozen or so ladies, I don’t even remember their names clearly. The most eye-catching ones are Jiang Chan and Yue Shuang.”

She went on to say, “She is good-looking and makes cakes. But she is always alone and does not seem to have a good relationship. Jiang Chan looked at how she is being loved, I always wanted to pinch her cheeks, she is also someone that is loved more, no matter where she goes in the past, she would always be in a group. However, I do not like the two girls that are closest to Jiang Chan. ”

“Why?”

Jin Xiaolou asked her.

Lv Yun scratched her head: “Those two ladies, they just entered the door and they already used all their strength to speak ill of me. We naturally have eyes to see and heart to distinguish what kind of people others are, why would we want them to talk so much?”

“That’s right.” Jin Xiaolou nodded her head, “They are so anxious to speak ill of others, yet now they seem like villains.”

Jin Xiaolou laughed: “I’m the same as you, I don’t like them either.”

Lv Yun scoffed, “Otherwise, how can we act like this? Similar people are always grouped together. ”

Just as she finished speaking, Lv Yun shook her head again: “However, you can’t say it like that, I think that Jiang Chan is a good person.”

“Not necessarily.” Jin Xiaolou spoke out, she then paused for a moment before arriving, “It’s been a long time since I last saw you, right? In short, all of us treat this lady within the Linlang Workshop as if she’s our equal, don’t alienate her, and don’t get as close to her as you can.”

“Yes.” Lv Yun nodded.

“Oh right, have you seen Chang An?” Jin Xiaolou drank another mouthful of tea.

“Yes.” Lv Yun answered, “Yesterday afternoon, I saw her at the Rainbow Garden entrance, but I didn’t say anything, then Nan Yang came out, I didn’t want to see her, so I left immediately.”

After she finished speaking, Lv Yun continued to grumble: “Why are there so many people in this Chang An City that I hate?”

Jin Xiaolou laughed: “Chang An City is too big, the more people there are in the city, the more people there are, so naturally there are all kinds of people.”

“Then did Chang An say when he would go to the Wuli River?”

Lv Yun nodded: “Just these few days.”

On the morning of the second day, before the sky brightened, Jin Xiaolou went to the nearest smithy and got her master to fill up two cans with ingredients before returning to Linlang Workshop. After that, she bought all of the ingredients needed to make the Poria Cocos according to the method of asking the damp clothes she wore last night.

When Jin Xiaolou came in, she immediately took the thing in her hands. Putting the material aside, she held up the small metal box and asked, “This is the thing that can let Poria Cocos be put in there for two to three months? Isn’t this just an ordinary small iron box? ”

Jin Xiaolou nodded her head, “It’s exactly the small metal box. Let’s make two, one of us will give it away, and the other will stay with us for three months to see if the Poria Cocos Pancake is good or bad.”

“That’s a good idea!” “I have to see it for myself before I dare to believe it.”

Listening to the directions given by the wet clothes, Jin Xiaolou scattered the glutinous rice flour, added eggs and honey, and formed a ball. After kneading the shape, she took in the crushed hawthorn, osmanthus and bean buns, and also picked up a piece of sweet peaches that was marinated in the wet clothes.

Jin Xiaolou had done a lot in a row. She was intelligent in the first place, and her skills were good, so she did the best she could.

What was prepared first, was brought out by Lv Yun for Xia Gu and the other girls to eat.

The last one out of the oven was put into a small iron box while it was still hot.

Jin Xiaolou acted as if she was making canned food, and then she covered the two iron boxes with the lid. She placed them on the stove to heat them up to disinfect and sterilize them, and then took advantage of the heat of the boxes to close the lids firmly.

After waiting for the two boxes of Poria Cocos to cool down, Jin Xiaolou took one box and placed it inside Linlang Workshop.

She passed through a long street by herself, and went to the western side of the capital, where the Rainbow Garden was located.

In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Chang An rode his horse and galloped over.

Just as Chang An dismounted, before the maids from the Rainbow Garden could welcome him, Jin Xiaolou had already walked up to them.

“Lady Xiaolou!” Chang An’s eyes were filled with joy, “It’s really great to see you again before we leave the capital. Are you all right? How’s the store going? ”

Jin Xiaolou nodded her head: “Very good, the shop is about to open soon, you know mine, business will definitely be good, let him be at ease.”

“Yes.” Chang An replied, “You came specifically to look for me? Is there anything I can say to Lord Seven? ”

Jin Xiaolou laughed: “It’s not words, it’s this.”

As he spoke, he handed over the metal box that was wrapped in a brocade handkerchief.

Chang An accepted it without asking anything, and only said one sentence: “Don’t worry, I will definitely hand this over to Seventh Elder safely.”

Jin Xiaolou believed that Chang An would do as she said, after thanking him, she turned around and was about to leave, but just after taking two steps, she heard Nan Yang’s voice sounding out from the garden.

Nan Yang naturally did not know how to manage money with Jin Xiaolou, but she pulled Chang An’s hand and asked him what he was holding in his hand.

“It’s wrapped so well, and it’s even fragrant. Chang An, you couldn’t have raised a little girl outside while carrying me and Seventh Master on your back, right?” Nan Yang laughed.

Chang An was so embarrassed that his whole face almost turned red: “Nonsense! This is what the Lady Xiaolou asked me to bring to Seventh Elder! ”

“Jin Xiaolou?” Nan Yang’s voice dragged out a little as she peeked her head out. She just so happened to see Jin Xiaolou’s back walking slowly into the distance.

Unexpectedly, she was looking straight at Jin Xiaolou, but Jin Xiaolou suddenly turned around and locked gazes with him.

Nan Yang raised her brows, her eyes looking up slightly as she shifted her gaze elsewhere.

In the next moment, Jin Xiaolou’s clear voice could be heard from afar, “Chang An, when are you going to head to the Wuli River?”

Chang An turned his head to see that Jin Xiaolou had not left, so he quickly replied: “Once we’re in the garden, we’ll pack up and leave!”

Jin Xiaolou nodded and finally turned and left.

Nan Yang lowered her head and laughed coldly, and when she looked up, the smile on her face became much more real. She took the metal box from Chang An’s hands and slowly said to him: “You are a man, how do you know how to clean things up?

Chang An hugged onto Nan Yang’s shoulder. “It’s better if you treat your brother better! Then I’ll leave everything to you. Am I really going to feed the fish? ”

“Go, go!” Nan Yang pushed him twice, then turned and left.

After entering the room, her face darkened, and she threw the iron box in her hands onto the table. A loud bang sounded, startling both Wen Mei and Ye Yun, who were watching on the side.

Wen Mei quickly stepped forward: “What’s wrong with Miss, what is there to be angry about?”

Nan Yang waved her hand: “Xia Yun, go and clean up Chang An’s clothes first.”

“Yes, my lady.”

After Sleeping Cloud left, Nan Yang pulled the embroidered cloth away, revealing a tall and sturdy black box. “That Jin Xiaolou really doesn’t give in to evil intentions.

With that, Nan Yang went to open the lid of the metal box, and after breaking it twice, she found that she was unable to.

He was even more angry as he said, “It’s a thousand miles away. I want to see just what treasure she wants to deliver to me!”

Wen Mei quickly went to find a small iron hoe from the gardener and closed the door. The two of them placed the iron box on the ground and Wen Mei smashed the box with his hoe.

After smashing it five times, the iron box finally broke open. Wen Mei threw her hoe down and took the box out to give it to Nan Yang.

“Poria Cocos Cake?!” Nan Yang opened the lid and saw something lying inside, her eyes could not help but turn, “Wow, what an expert, giving away sweet cakes for a thousand miles? It was like she wanted to make this sweet into this lord’s heart. No wonder I have never been intimate with anyone in the past twenty years, even Chang An and I can’t figure out what I am thinking. I can’t say anything, but the moment Jin Xiaolou appeared, she immediately called me to be in a hurry with him, look at her methods! ”

“Even if I was made of stone, I could still be coaxed soft by her.”

Wen Mei opened her mouth and said: “Miss, don’t be angry, didn’t we already stop this thing? Then no matter how skilled Jin Xiaolou is, he won’t be able to play any tricks in front of us.”

Wen Mei continued: “However, this Jin Xiaolou is also silly, on the journey from the capital to the Wuli River, even if we did not stop him, if she were to send it to Seventh Elder, she would have already become a pile of mud.”

“What do you know? She only wants to give me this hypocritical gift, who cares if I eat or not.” Nan Yang said coldly, she took out the cake from the box and gave it to Wen Mei, “Take it to the farm in the countryside and feed it to the pigs! All the things that she has made, she has to give to Seventh Elder. ”

“Yes.” Wen Mei bowed her head in agreement, then raised her head again, and said with some hesitation, “Then what about Sir Chang An’s side, what should we say?”

“Nothing.” Nan Yang pointed to the brocade handkerchief, “Go to the garden and find two pieces of green tiles, then use this handkerchief to wrap it up and put it into his bag. She doesn’t know what exactly is inside.”
