The Xiongnu individuals didn’t perceive both. “Possibly they got here to freeload on meals due to the odor.”
Who would suspect a couple of birds? Therefore, after tying the letter to the service pigeon’s leg, they let it fly in peace and didn’t pay a lot consideration to the wild birds that flew away with it.
How may they’ve guessed that the service pigeon wouldn’t be capable of fly far earlier than it was caught by these “wild birds” and despatched to Xiaoxiao?
Rong Yan was very stunned. “So your so-called NPC also can rework right into a non-human?”
The letter on the pigeon’s leg was certainly for the Crown Prince. Nevertheless, what caught individuals between laughter and tears was that aside from questioning, he really talked about asking the Crown Prince for cash essentially the most. It may very well be seen how unwilling he was to make use of iron ore to repay his debt.
The extra sad he was, the happier Xiaoxiao was. After studying the letter time and again, she touched her chin. “I ponder if there’s any particular secret code within the letter. We are able to’t change it casually.”
She thought for a second and fortunately determined. “Then I’ll simply confiscate it.”
He put away the letter. As for this pigeon…
Rong Yan chuckled. “Do you need to eat it?”
Xiaoxiao blushed. He was mentioning her darkish historical past once more! She didn’t know that she was consuming another person’s service pigeon again then! Who would have thought that somebody would put a service pigeon in such a distant place like Fortune Village?
“Sure!” It might be a waste to not eat.
Yun Er and Yun San strolled across the backside of the mountain. When Grasp and Miss got here down, they realized that that they had gained so much. They have been holding pheasants of their fingers and dragging one thing behind them…
“Wild boar?” Yun Er was dumbfounded and blurted out, “The type with pork stomach?”
Considering of the previous, everybody burst into laughter. County Justice of the Peace Shen, who knew that there was a recreation for lunch, additionally suppressed his bulging stomach and laughed fortunately.
Simply as Xiaoxiao felt that life was peaceable and boring, her second brother, Ning Anhui, and Qian Jiao’er’s auspicious day arrived. The Ning Household was embellished with lanterns and coloured banners, and the friends of the banquet have been all invited. County Justice of the Peace Shen, his spouse, and Han Qing have been all invited. Even Gongsun Zhongjing, who had painstakingly researched drugs, packed up and got here.
Xiaoxiao invited one of the best dragon and lion dance group in Xijiang County for Second Brother. She didn’t need to depend on others for the banquet’s dishes. She rolled up her sleeves and wished to do it herself. It was nonetheless Rong Yan who persuaded her.
“Your standing is completely different now. Even in the event you’re keen to prepare dinner, can these commoners eat in peace?”
That was true. Who would dare to the touch their chopsticks when the princess was cooking for them?
Xiaoxiao felt that it was so boring, so she labored onerous to struggle for the proper to prepare dinner for her kinfolk and buddies.
Therefore, the acquaintances have been overjoyed. County Justice of the Peace Shen additionally picked up Shen Tianci, who had a headache, at Bowen Academy.
Mrs. Shen took a stool and sat within the kitchen with out placing on airs. She chatted with Xiaoxiao as she was cooking. When Xiaoxiao got here out with a dish, she would carry a small bowl and decide up some together with her chopsticks to eat first as a type of respect.
This conduct made Xiaoxiao click on her tongue. “Because the spouse of the county Justice of the Peace and the eldest daughter of the Li Household, why do you seem like you might be ravenous?”
Mrs. Shen chided her. “You’re nonetheless speaking. A sure somebody is clearly the deputy shopkeeper in black and white, however she insisted on leaving two retailers for me to run forwards and backwards alone. If I need to eat your meal, I’ve to return all the best way from the Imperial Capital to Xijiang County!”
Xiaoxiao pouted. “You’re clearly again to search for your husband!”
Mrs. Shen had been busy together with her profession not too long ago and primarily stayed within the Imperial Capital. This was a coincidence.
She blushed. “What nonsense are you speaking about? I occurred to return again as a result of I had one thing on. In any other case, I wouldn’t have been in a position to freeload in your meal!”
“Hey, proper. Just lately, there have been individuals coming to ask concerning the watermelon. Are you actually not going to promote extra? Enterprise is so good, however you continue to insist on limiting it. I’m actually impressed.”
Xiaoxiao glanced at her. “The rarer one thing is, the extra valuable it’s. Should you can actually purchase it with cash casually, will these high-ranking officers and noblities nonetheless run to your elegant abode? Apart from, there’s not a lot manufacturing now. I nonetheless should hold some for the seeds.”
Mrs. Shen pursed her lips. The final sentence was the important thing.
She really understood the logic. The watermelon that Xiaoxiao gave her was unprecedented up to now. Now, there weren’t many watermelons shipped over from the border metropolis. Coupled with the losses on the best way, it may certainly solely be provided in small portions.
Furthermore, the richer and extra highly effective a noble individual was, the extra she appreciated to be particular. They didn’t care about what others had, however they cherished these privileges that they might not purchase even when that they had cash.
“You’re only a brat. How have you learnt a lot about noble individuals’s ideas?”
Xiaoxiao stated, “I learn so much.”
Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes and determined to attribute this credit score to Xiaoxiao’s organic mother and father, particularly Gu Chang’an. Certainly, individuals from scholarly households have been completely different. They have been a lot smarter than others even after giving delivery.
However what was mistaken together with her son? He was not as good as his mom, nor was he as astute as his father. What was occurring?
Seeing Xiaoxiao working in an orderly method, she couldn’t assist however really feel much more vexed. Some youngsters inherited their mother and father’ brains, magnificence, and even their culinary abilities completely. Some youngsters would solely moan and say that they didn’t memorize yesterday’s books. Why was the distinction between individuals so massive?
Again then, she had even considered matchmaking Tianci and Xiaoxiao. In a while, she considered it and determined to neglect it. Her son was unfit of her.
On the considered this, Mrs. Shen winked and misplaced her elegant demeanor. “Hey, how are you and the Third Prince?”
This time, it was Xiaoxiao’s flip to blush. Little Huge Brother stated that after Second Brother bought married at present, he would… suggest to the 4 mother and father.
Mrs. Shen’s face was filled with teasing. She laughed so onerous that Xiaoxiao snatched her bowl away. “I’m not giving it to you!”
Mrs. Shen hurriedly begged for mercy. Xiaoxiao was irritated for some time earlier than she returned the bowl and chopsticks to her. She was a busy individual now. The elegant abode’s enterprise was good, they usually have been all esteemed friends. She actually took the time to return over at present. She couldn’t even look ahead to the banquet to start out and may depart after taking two bites.
Xiaoxiao checked out her step by step pointy chin and couldn’t assist however remind her, “Don’t simply focus in your profession. Your well being is extra essential.”
Mrs. Shen nodded and requested her, “By the best way, I heard that you just made prompt meals that may be eaten after soaking in boiling water. Why don’t you give me some?”
Xiaoxiao glared at her. “Should you don’t eat correctly, don’t even take into consideration touching my cantaloupe and grapes after they come out!”
Mrs. Shen instantly grew to become obedient. “What’s cantaloupe?”
She typically ate grapes, however she had by no means heard of cantaloupe. Nevertheless, Xiaoxiao stated, “It’s a secret.”
She added, “However when the issues come, it is going to nonetheless be provided to the elegant abode alone.”
She was so annoying, however Mrs. Shen appreciated her a lot.
When the banquet began, Mrs. Shen was certainly known as away by the elegant abode. She confirmed off her foresight to County Justice of the Peace Shen proudly and left in a rush after leaving items and blessings.
Because it was a marriage banquet, Xiaoxiao naturally couldn’t do it casually. Almond Buddha’s Fingers, crispy apples, pancakes, and festive-looking storage bins have been all obligatory. The 4 Happiness Dry Fruits and 4 Happiness Candied Peanuts have been tiger pores and skin peanuts, milky-white walnuts, snow mountain dates, candied sesame seeds, candied cinnamon spherical, candied peach preserves, and candied apples.

The dishes on this desk have been colourful and steaming. They seemed and smelled good. It was tough to not drool.
A few of them had by no means even heard of the dishes. County Justice of the Peace Shen even took the time to sigh. “Not dangerous, not dangerous. Xiaoxiao, your culinary abilities have improved by leaps and bounds after Chef Gu’s steerage.. It’s superb!”
