Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C140

The more Jin Xiaolou thought about it, the more she felt that something was off.

Although she had only interacted with Nan Yang for a short time, Jin Xiaolou had already understood her character. She had seen the thing that Chang An had given him, and he was afraid that she would not casually give it to him.

Jin Xiaolou took out the other case of Poria Cocos and wrapped it with the silk handkerchief once again. She handed it over to Lv Yun and said: Go to the South gate and wait there.

Lv Yun nodded her head and agreed, she immediately called for a carriage and rushed to the city gate.

Not long after that, Chang An galloped his horse and passed through the city gate in the blink of an eye.

“Chang An!” Lv Yun shouted loudly, and she immediately stopped her horse.

The horse whinnied, and turned its head around after taking two steps on the spot. Chang An’s eyes lit up when he saw the green clothed lady below the city gate.

“Lv Yun, why are you here?” Chang An jumped off his horse and ran towards Lv Yun.

Lv Yun passed the thing in her hand forward: “Here, I’ll send this.”

Chang An smiled, “Is this for me?”

Lv Yun said snappily: “This is my shopkeeper’s gift to your Seventh Elder.”

“Little liar.” Chang An obviously did not believe him, “Lady Xiaolou has just personally given me a portion, this portion will only be given to me.”

“How shameless.” Lv Yun stuck out her tongue, “Then open your bag and take a look. If the portion that our shopkeeper gave you is still there, then I will gift it to you for free.”

Hearing that, Chang An immediately took out his bag from the horse, reaching inside to take out something wrapped in a handkerchief, looking at it, it looked exactly the same as the one Lv Yun gave him.

“How is it?” Chang An looked at Lv Yun with a smile.

Lv Yun pouted: “Open.”

Chang An frowned: “This is for Seventh Elder, it might not be appropriate to take out the brocade handkerchief.”

“Coward!” Lv Yun’s face was flushed red as she snatched away the thing in Chang An’s hands. In a few steps, she tore away the embroidered cloth, then raised it up and threw it hard onto the ground.

Two pieces of shingles fell to the ground. There were pieces of debris everywhere.

“What? Your shopkeeper wants me to bring two pieces of tile to seventh grandfather?” Chang An was stunned.

Lv Yun also opened the one in her hand, revealing a tall and sturdy box. “The one my shopkeeper asked you to bring is this, it’s just that your garden has all kinds of cats and dogs.”

His words came to an abrupt stop, but he understood clearly.

Chang An took the box from Lv Yun’s hands and wrapped the silk handkerchief again. He lowered his eyes and said after a long time, “Rest assured, I will definitely bring this box to Master Qi.”

Lv Yun frowned: “I’m afraid that you just said the same thing to my shopkeeper. But in the blink of an eye, you have been secretly changed, and you did not notice it at all.”

Chang An pursed his lips: “Nan Yang is indeed a little arrogant …”

Lv Yun laughed coldly, “There is still a difference between someone with a lowly personality and someone with a haughty attitude.”

Saying that, he turned around and left.

“Are, are you not living in Rainbow Garden because of Nan Yang?” Chang An stood at his original position and shouted at Lv Yun’s back.

Only, Lv Yun did not turn back.

What’s the use of saying so much, anyway, she and the shopkeeper had already found a place to stay, and living there was much more comfortable than living on the Rainbow Garden.

When she returned to the Linlang Workshop, the five craftsmen on the street next to him had already arrived at the shop. Jin Xiaolou took the blueprints and explained in detail to them about how to make the various parts of the Great Surge.

There were already masons starting to dig the pools in the Main Hall. Jin Xiaolou had originally planned to turn the Main Hall into a huge swimming pool, but yesterday when she was drawing, he had thought that it would be better to leave some open space outside for people to buy tickets.

This way, he would be able to distinguish himself from the second floor.

The first floor was for a flat price while the second floor was for a private room. People who were inconvenient to enter or show their faces in the wicket-lined building would be able to watch from a private booth on the second floor.

The Dashing stage was split into a total of five parts. Considering the degree of acceptance by the ancient people, Jin Xiaolou made the design relatively easy at the beginning.

It looked like a mushroom pile on the water, a bridge that could be swung from side to side on a wooden frame, a five-wheeled water wheel driven by human hands, a web of hemp rope hanging through the air, and finally a wall of climbing wood.

The climbing wall was one story high. The participants directly climbed up to the platform on the second floor and sounded the gong on top to obtain victory.

When the time came, the prizes would also be placed on the platform for everyone to enjoy.

Jin Xiaolou thought that once everyone accepted this game, they would gradually change the parts of it to increase the difficulty.

After all, this kind of difficulty was as easy as walking to someone like Gao Lang, who was able to carry him up to the second floor easily.

But Jin Xiaolou also knew that a person like Gao Lang would definitely be one in a million.

As for the girls in the Linlang Workshop, since the wet clothes could only cook a good meal, Jin Xiaolou had her take care of the kitchen, so the customers could order tea for them.

As for the other girls, they were all cheering and dancing on the tables on the first floor, which were specially built for them.

The entire Linlang Workshop had been changed greatly for an entire month.

Three days before they were about to reopen, Jin Xiaolou sent the girls from the workshop to distribute flyers in the various complex streets of the capital.

There were only a few words on the list, and all of them were drawn in the pattern of the Great Rushing Channels.

Every person that was sent out would tell them that the brilliant programme of Linlang Workshop would begin when it was announced three days later.

For three consecutive days, all tickets were exempted and there were even snacks and tea.

Naturally, the people in the capital had not seen the big hurdle drawn on the flyers before, which piqued their curiosity. Especially when they heard that the big hurdle was not for any acrobat or acrobat to act, but for anyone to sign up for it.

As for what the wager was, Jin Xiaolou kept it a secret and did not spread it out.

Some things were like this. If everything were said clearly, no one would be interested in it. Just saying half of it would make people scratch their hearts and scratch their cheeks in desire to know.

One day before the opening, Xia Gu called Jin Xiaolou and the other girls from the workshop over.

“Whether or not Linlang Workshop lives, all depends on tomorrow.” Xia Gu made everyone sit down, then looked at Jin Xiaolou once again. “All of these ideas were made by the Lady Xiaolou, if Linlang Workshop can bring back the dead, then from today onwards, half of this shop will belong to the Lady Xiaolou, which can be considered as the gratitude of I, Xia Gu, to you.”

Jin Xiaolou did not stand on ceremony and accepted it: “Ok.”

“However, Sister Lian Peng, don’t worry. If we can accomplish this, even if it’s just half of it, we’ll still be able to earn a lot more than our previous Linlang Workshop.” Jin Xiaolou laughed.

“Well, I’m sure of it.” Xia Gu also laughed.

She wasn’t stupid. Businessmen had to be profitable, otherwise they wouldn’t have given up half of their assets for nothing.

“So, after tomorrow, all of you should follow Lv Yun and call him the Lady Xiaolou’s shopkeeper.” Xia Gu then continued, “In the future, she will be the same as me, your boss.”

“Manager.” Just as Xia Gu finished speaking, Jiang Chan had already shouted out in a sweet tone.

Jin Xiaolou was still smiling, but her voice was light: “You are calling me too early, I will only find out tomorrow if I have the fate of being your shopkeeper.”

“There must be.” Jiang Chan did not hesitate at all, “I believe that shopkeeper, you can bring our Linlang Workshop to sweep through the capital.”

As the return journey was only with Chang An, it was reduced by almost half.

At the end of April, under the continuous drizzle, the side of the Wuli River had already grown a continuous stretch of emerald green grass.

Chang An alighted from the horse and met Gao Lang beside the limestone by the river.

Along the way, he startled the sparrow in the grass. Gao Lang turned his head, and without showing any expression, he looked at Chang An and asked: “How was it?”

Chang An lowered his eyes and cupped his hands: “I, disguised as a young eunuch, and Tutor Zhong, brought the Wuli Herba into the palace together. I personally saw the palace maid boil medicine and gave it to His Majesty to drink.”

He continued: “I secretly checked His Majesty’s medical records. It doesn’t seem to be good, even with the Wuli Herba, I’m afraid … “The time is running out.”

Gao Lang did not move, his gaze looking at the verdant mountain in the distance: “Where’s the small house?”

Chang An was startled, and quickly replied: “Lady Xiaolou is fine, she even specially asked me to bring something for you.”

“Oh?” Gao Lang’s face became lively as he raised his eyebrows and looked towards Chang An.

Chang An then quickly ran to the side of the horse and took out a small box wrapped in a brocade handkerchief.

The brocade cloth was embroidered with silver thread, and when he opened the brocade cloth, there was a black iron box inside.

Gao Lang could tell at a glance that this was a canned food box. After all, he had cooked canned food with Jin Xiaolou before.

There was a small, folded ring on top of the can. He put his finger inside and gently pulled. With a light bang, the lid of the box popped up and the box was easily opened.

“It’s food!” Chang An blurted out. He really did not think that he would bring a simple pastry from so far away.

“Poria Cocos.” Gao Lang took it out and took a bite.

Because of the canned food treatment, the winter temperature is low, and the Poria Cocos cake is intact.

It was sweet, but not greasy.

Gao Lang quickly ate the biscuit, turned around, and smiled lightly at the river.
