"How's your sister these days?"

After I finished writing the recipe, Green Bull took a piece of paper from the table with both hands and brought it to the sun to dry. At the side, Lan Zhi commanded the maidservants to come up with a copper bowl to help me wash my hands.

Seeing that, Second Miss Jiang extended her hand to help me roll up my sleeves. I hurriedly laughed and scolded her, "Don't do this in front of me! Just roll up my sleeves and want to thank me! "

Second Miss Jiang knew that I was not going to let her get up. Smiling, she sat back down and watched as the maidservant helped me wash my hands.

After washing her hands with clean water, Lan Lingyun brought over my usual balm.

Noticing that Second Miss Jiang was staring at me without blinking, I smiled and gave her the box of ointment. "This was brought back from Jiangnan by my family's merchant, do you want to try it?"

At first, it had a strong rose fragrance, but after two hours, the fragrance of the rose had dissipated. Instead, the light and comfortable fragrance of the lily had gained the upper hand, and was the new style that had been developed in the recent years.

It was a young lady. Who didn't love these pollen rouge?

Recalling that I also had two boxes of avocado incense, I decided to ask Second Miss Jiang to bring it to Eldest Miss Jiang. When she marries someone, there will naturally be something different.

Second Miss Jiang took the box and sniffed it. A sweet smile appeared on her face, but she did not wipe it off.

"Try it!" I thought she was shy and encouraged her with a gentle smile.

"My mother said that these powdered fat injured his skin." Second Miss Jiang raised her head and looked at me in embarrassment. "That's why I only wash my hands with milk every day."

I must be thinking too much!

"It's my experience that is too shallow!" I took a moment to react. "I just wanted to apply some ointment to protect my skin. I never thought milk was better!"

It wasn't that he didn't know how to use milk to heal his skin, but that his breast was especially fishy after being heated and could not bear the smell that was pouncing on him.

The stiff lines on Second Miss Jiang's face clearly softened, and her tense back relaxed.

"My mother said that the milk was gentle and nourishing. If you don't believe her, look!"

After saying that, Second Miss Jiang extended her hands for me to see. Indeed, her hands were as white and tender as a freshly peeled lotus seed.

"I want to try it even if I have to!" I smiled at her, accepting her suggestion.

During this entire process, a pair of burning hot eyes pierced through from behind the green tent next to the ground cover, causing one to feel as if their backs were being pierced by goosebumps. When I looked over, that mother Jiang tilted her head down again. Her appearance was so upright that no one could find anything wrong with it.

I couldn't help but laugh at myself.

Could it be that I would have a quarrel with Second Miss Jiang over such a trivial matter?

What did that faint smile on her face mean? Could it be that I will be able to catch her eyes with just a few words?

While I was conversing with Second Miss Jiang, the Green Bandits had already blown the recipe dry. Seeing that I had dried my hands with a handkerchief, they hurriedly and respectfully handed the recipe to me.

I passed the prescription to Second Miss Jiang, who was sitting by the side, and took a sip of the tea that was placed on the side. "Take a look and see if there's anything inappropriate with it!"

The tea was sweet and fragrant with a rich fragrance of peach blossoms and a sweet and sour smell of dried fruit. This was Li Ji's new peach blossom fruit tea this year.

I looked at Lan Li beside me and smiled. She must have been worried that I would lose my foundation, so she intentionally ordered me to buy it.

When Lan Lingyun saw me looking at her and smiling, she pursed her lips. A brilliant ray of light flashed across her eyes, and her entire body lit up.

If I asked him to take a look at the prescription, it was for those madams. They would understand immediately and understand that I was just being polite. They would only accept it with a smile. However, Second Miss Jiang was very sincere. She took the recipe and read it carefully. Then, she folded it and tucked it in her sleeve. She smiled at me and said, "Wait till I go back and try it. See if I can make this taste!"

Hearing her words, I couldn't help but smile.

No matter what you do, you won't be able to produce such a taste!

Although this Peach Blossom Cake was commonly used in the south, and was not used in the north, there were not many people who made it. However, it was definitely not considered rare. For example, I didn't know how many times I had taken a servant girl by my side, but I had never felt such a good taste from Lan Xin.

I had never been to the south, so I had no way of knowing if it was true or not, but it was not comparable to Lanxin's craftsmanship.

However, I found it hard to say these words to Second Miss Jiang. I could only smile subtly and point at the teacup in front of her, smiling as I invited her over. "Quickly, have a taste of this tea!"

Contrary to my expectations, Second Miss Jiang did not have any expression of pleasant surprise on her face.

"The taste of the peach blossoms is a bit lighter."

What I like the most is that the Jiang sisters are honest, honest and lovely, and don't get angry because of her impudent words, and ask her with a smile:

"You got even better tea leaves, why don't you give me some!"

A suspicious red cloud flew past Second Miss Jiang's cheeks, but her eyes were still bright:

"It was given to my sister by the Fang family!"

Although this tea can be bought on the market, it costs at least 10 taels of silver a pack, and a packet of it is only worth 2 or 3 taels. The tea leaves that the Fang family sent to Miss Jiang tasted even better than mine, they were either priceless or made internally.

Did this mean that the Fang family also valued this marriage?

I couldn't help but smile in my heart, happy for Eldest Miss Jiang.

"So that's how it is, no wonder your sister is so distressed and doesn't want it anymore to send me off!" I nodded my head seriously, but my eyes were full of mischief.

Second Miss Jiang was speechless for a long time, not knowing what to say. "My sister doesn't feel bad, she is... "She is..."

It was something sent by his future husband's family.

I covered my mouth with the handkerchief and laughed. The two maidservants behind me couldn't help but smile when they saw Second Young Miss Jiang's helpless expression.

Second Miss Jiang became increasingly anxious. Her face flushed red as she sat on the chair, unable to say a word.

"You haven't told me how your sister is these days!" Seeing that Second Miss Jiang was about to shed tears, I quickly changed the topic.

Obviously, Second Miss Jiang was relieved when she saw that I didn't want to pester her anymore. She took a sip of tea and said, "What else can she do? My mother wouldn't let her go anywhere. She would stay in the courtyard all day and either learn the rules from my mother, or learn to be a housekeeper from my mother, or she could embroider flowers in the house. She wrote several letters to you, but my mother took them all over, saying that she is a young lady waiting to be married off and cannot be too ostentatious! "

Hearing that Miss Jiang had sent me a letter, I became interested. I smiled and asked the Second Miss, "Have you brought the letter?"

"Aiya!" Second Miss Jiang smacked her head and said, "Look at my memory!" As he spoke, he extended his hand towards the maid called Qingxi. "Give me the letter!"

When Second Miss Jiang rejected my ointment, this servant girl's expression was very anxious. When she saw that I was not angry, her expression instantly relaxed. Second Miss Jiang later said that my tea did not taste good and this maid's face was also full of worry.

This Qingxi was obviously a smart maid, as she knew that there was no good ending that could come from being a loyal servant.

So what if she was the character of the maid who was assigned to Miss Jiang?

Qingxi withdrew the letter from her bosom and respectfully offered it to Second Miss Jiang before whispering a few words in a low voice.

Second Miss Jiang took the prescription from her sleeve and gave it to Qingxi.

"Go and get some peach blossom cake!" I saw Second Miss Jiang sitting at the side, bored. She smiled and instructed the maidservants standing behind me.

Lan Zhi answered and went out.

Before the peach blossom cake was served, Second Miss Jiang could no longer sit still. He first got up and walked left and right before going to my bookcase. He randomly picked a book and started flipping through it, flipping through the pages with a 'hualala' sound. Not long later, he switched to another book. After flipping through a few pages, he drew out another book … Not long later, a small pile of food was piled up on the table.

I couldn't help but smile. I really didn't know how she could be so restless, and how she managed to read four or five classics.

"I have two lion heads on my window. Take a look for me and see if they are hungry!"

I told her implicitly that I could go see the fish.

Originally the shop sent two tail of ink to grandma for birthday presents, because Lan good face, so in my room for the day. He had planned to deliver it the next day, but the next day both goldfish had eaten their stomachs. I felt that the fish was very unlucky, and I could not help but be glad that I did not send it to my grandmother's place, which was a hindrance to the old man's eyes. He took out twenty taels of silver and had his wife, Mrs. Zhou, help him buy a pair of nice looking golden fish. After that, Madame Zhou brought Hong Yu's mother-in-law into the two glass fish vats. Inside the vats were two sets of lion heads, both of which were equally plump and adorable, and one of the vats even had two symmetrical white dots on the left and right sides of its cheeks. It looked like a white pearl that had landed in the red coral. I told Lan Li to take the fish to the pond and set it free. Lan Li said that it would be eaten by the big fish if she put it in the pond, and she was also very fond of the golden fish. From time to time, she would feed them, and when she didn't have any work to do, she would often go and play with them, so I gave the fish to her to dispose of. After many days, the goldfish are still growing on the windowsill, and gradually, I get used to the existence of the two goldfish. On the other hand, the maids in my room have to feed the two fish all the time.

"Alright!" Second Miss Jiang tossed the book in her hands with a smile and accompanied the maid by her side for the second time in the east. Mama Jiang, on the other hand, was still standing guard at the door of the West Room, not moving at all.

I couldn't help laughing.

This seems to be my slave!

I didn't pay much attention and continued to read the letter in my hand.

Lan Zhi brought in the pastries. Seeing that Second Miss Jiang was not by my side, she smiled and carried the pastries to the East Room.

Not long later, a cheerful and joyful laughter came from the east.

Although it was very quiet around me, the warm and pleasant feeling seemed to spread to my heart along with the voice.
