Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C143
After Ji Lingyun finished, he lifted her leg and left.
“Wait a minute!” Jin Xiaolou was busy.
“What, you’re going back on your word?” Ji Lingyun stopped and turned to look at Jin Xiaolou.
Jin Xiaolou raised her eyes, looked straight at her, and said slowly: “If you really want that jar, I can make another identical jar for you.”
Ji Lingyun suddenly laughed: “Idiot, why would I want that jar? I don’t even know how many jars of that kind are placed in my house, what I want is that jar that is unique to me.
“Then, I’ll make you another serving of sweet water and bring it to the young lady’s residence tomorrow.” Jin Xiaolou paused, “This sweet water is also delicious, and I will only make one serving for you.”
Ji Lingyun was a little hesitant: “Bring him to my residence, if others don’t know about this, wouldn’t it be a waste for me to eat it?”
“Don’t worry miss, from now on the Linlang Workshop menu will write out that sweet water, but only the name will not be sold, as long as anyone asks, I will get people to answer, you will only be able to eat this kind of sweet water.” Jin Xiaolou returned.
Ji Lingyun’s eyes turned and she felt that she was very satisfied. With curved eyebrows, she laughed in an extremely good mood. You can be at ease with the words I heard in this Linlang Workshop today, I will completely forget about them the moment I step out of this room! ”
After Ji Lingyun reported her name and left, she finally relaxed.
She knew what the reputation of a prince meant, she didn’t want to give Gao Lang any trouble.
On the morning of the second day, Jin Xiaolou went to the wet clothes room, and following the model of burning immortal herbs, she made a new set of sweet water and discussed it with Yun Che.
The brown sugar had been added to the ground, and the small balls were steamed with taro paste and glutinous rice flour. The rock seeds were used to pinch the powdered ice, along with the boiled red beans and various fresh fruits.
Jin Xiaolou named it the Jade Cove, and told Lv Yun to bring a ice drawer over. Just as she was about to carry it out, the Lin’er who had just learned how to walk shakily rushed over.
Her round and plump body was like a glutinous rice ball that had been boiled with sugar. Once she hugged Jin Xiaolou’s thigh, she didn’t let go.
Her small nose twitched as she moved closer to the box in Jin Xiaolou’s hands.
His mouth babbled for a long time as he sighed, “The words spoken by this child are really a form of knowledge. Not everyone can understand it.”
Lv Yun sneered: “Our family’s young master, it’s best he understands. This little mouth puckered up a little, that’s because he smelled sweet, greedy!”
Jin Xiaolou stooped down and kissed Lin’er, then casually picked up the Cloud Piece Cake on the table, broke off a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Here, I’ll give it to you to eat. After eating, release your mother. Mother still has something to do!” Jin Xiaolou had just finished speaking.
Lin’er raised his small mouth and kissed Jin Xiaolou’s lips. “Tiantian, Lin’er Tiantian, mother’s darling.”
After he finished kissing, he obediently let go of his little hands and twisted them towards Lv Yun. He turned his head back as he waved at Jin Xiaolou, “Mother, go, Lin’er will wait for mother’s return.”
Jin Xiaolou smiled sweetly. This little guy, was the same as his father.
It was hard to tell if he was born to it or if he learned it from his father the day after.
However, in his heart, he was still as sweet as honey. He waved towards Lin’er, and finally brought out the box and left the Linlang Workshop.
The Ji Mansion and the Zhu Residence were merely separated by a wall.
Jin Xiaolou followed the servant through the huge Ji Mansion. The Ji Mansion looked to be about the same as the Rainbow Garden, but compared to the elegant Rainbow Garden, the Ji Mansion was more graceful and dignified.
The servants in the mansion all kept quiet and walked with their heads lowered. Each one of them seemed to be more respectful and more obedient than the last.
After circling around for a long time, Jin Xiaolou finally arrived in front of Ji Lingyun’s room.
Knocking on the door, he then stood under the sun for a while, until the door was finally opened. Ji Lingyun still had her head down, and when the door was opened, a Little Maid came out with a copper bowl.
“Come in.” Ji Lingyun stretched her back, “Yesterday, I had a huge argument with my father and mother and didn’t sleep well for the night. I woke up late in the morning and was just about to enjoy the sweet water you brought me.”
Jin Xiaolou followed the servant who combed her hair in, placed the food box on the table and took out a round jade burn.
As Ji Lingyun combed her hair, she looked at the sweet water inside the glass cup and nodded her head, “Mn, not bad at all. I have never seen sweet water like this before.”
As he spoke, he picked up the silver spoon and began to eat.
He ate two mouthfuls in a row and narrowed his eyes. “It’s delicious, but it’s a little too cold. In a few more days, it’ll be even better to use it in the summer heat.”
“Miss Ji is right.” Jin Xiaolou nodded her head, this round jade roasted meat, including yesterday’s jade cheese cooked meat, was the most enjoyable thing to eat in the middle of the summer.
Ji Lingyun sighed, raised her head, looked at Jin Xiaolou, and said slowly: “I didn’t mean to make things difficult for you, you don’t know, how annoying it is for that Zhu Shishi next door, since young, he always wants to fight with me for everything, and if I can’t win, then it will become sinister. Yesterday, she came again and I am truly furious.”
“Zhu Shishi?” Jin Xiaolou muttered.
“She is the Third Miss of Vice Minister Zhu’s house, who sat opposite me in the pavilion yesterday.” Ji Lingyun rolled her eyes, “Others may not have any ability, but a disgusting person is a top tier expert! If it weren’t for her, I would definitely have eaten the roasted jade cheese yesterday. ”
“What a coincidence. If not, Miss Ji would not have been able to eat this Jade Comet Burn today.” Jin Xiaolou returned.
Ji Lingyun’s eyes turned, and she immediately waved her hand, allowing the servants to leave. She closed the door and said softly: “Do you know, that Zhu Shishi is targeting your Seventh Prince?”
Jin Xiaolou was startled, and shook her head.
How could she know the private affairs of the families of officials like him?
Ji Lingyun gave a bright smile, “I knew you wouldn’t know. She was in a beautiful dream, hoping that Seventh Prince would return to the capital and marry him.
Jin Xiaolou was shocked. Although she was not a timid person, but she knew that in today’s world, if these words were to spread, she would be beheaded.
If he died, then everything would truly be over.
“Miss Ji, don’t speak nonsense. These words …” “If people hear it …”
Jin Xiaolou had not finished speaking when Ji Lingyun laughed coldly: “What are you afraid of! My mother even wanted me to marry that Seventh Prince! ”
“However, I don’t want to marry him!” Ji Lingyun shook his head, as if she was thinking about something. After a long time, she finally raised his head and spoke word by word, “Boss Jin, you are doing business outside, so you must know a lot of people. Can you help me find a husband? If it’s a man, it’s fine! ”
“This …” Jin Xiaolou was flabbergasted. Why was this Miss Ji so daring and reckless?
Ji Lingyun laughed again: “Don’t mind Boss Jin, I don’t like those stinking men and I don’t want to get married. But what’s more, I don’t want to listen to my parents’ arrangements and become like a chicken or a dog. If I can find a man to marry to me, it would be for the best! ”
I don’t care if his family has any power, wealth or not. I have all of that, as long as he listens to me, he’ll obediently listen to me for the rest of his life. This way, after the marriage, I can do whatever I want.
After Ji Lingyun finished this sentence, it opened Jin Xiaolou’s eyes wide.
He never thought that there would be such a reckless person in this era.
His mind suddenly recalled the divination he had heard from the fortune-teller at the inn when he had first arrived in the capital. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered that sentence.
“Xiangyang Day, Tzu En Temple, Water Melting Bridge.”
Jin Xiaolou saw that Ji Lingyun was looking at him, so she replied: “When I just arrived in the capital, I heard a High Scholar ask that fortune-teller how to find my benefactor. Thus, the fortune-teller gave him this sentence. I thought, “Miss, if you become his benefactor, he will naturally listen to you.”
Ji Lingyun’s eyes lit up, and she began to count on her fingers: “Duanyang Day, that is the day after tomorrow!”
“Boss Jin, you are truly my benefactor!” Ji Lingyun was overjoyed, “I can’t wait to meet that little brat, and have a secret marriage engagement with him. Let’s see what my mother can do with my marriage!”
Returning to the Linlang Workshop, and sitting in the room for a long time, Jin Xiaolou lowered her eyes. If she had known yesterday that this woman was the daughter of the Ji Mansion, and that the Ji Family’s young miss and the Zhu Family’s young miss weren’t on good terms, she would have taken strict care of her.
It was a pity that she only knew that the person who came was an esteemed guest, but she didn’t even know his name.
It was all in vain for her to be the boss of such a crowded and crowded store. She didn’t even have the ability to do so.
After a while, Jin Xiaolou looked up and said to Lv Yun: “From tomorrow onwards, you can take out half of the silver given to us. Take out another half, find some reliable people to buy some people for both genders.”
“What is the shopkeeper trying to do?” Lv Yun was curious.
Jin Xiaolou opened her mouth: “We have set up a huge information network here, but we are willing to let it be wasted. Not only is it a pity, it could also harm us, we might as well make use of it.”
“In the matters of the world, the ones who reap the benefits often use their power and money, or discordant information. We have no power, money is being earned, and information is the most important thing. We have to catch them quickly!”
Lv Yun nodded as if she understood something.
She was not sure what kind of information network it was, but she knew that the shopkeeper meant to collect some people for her use, to borrow the power of the Linlang Workshop from the people coming and going, and to gather some information.
Jin Xiaolou continued to speak: “This way, it’ll be better for us to look for Gui Qi, since more than half of the people in the capital will come to Linlang Workshop, as long as someone has seen Gui Qi, we can follow the clues!”
