Chapter 250: Open up (first update)
Cui Qingci felt warm and moved in her heart when she listened to Jiang Zhiluo's words.
Sister-in-law is also very kind.
No wonder the eldest brother, who is so indifferent, cares so much about his sister-in-law. Not to mention the eldest brother, even she has only been with her sister-in-law for a day, and she can't help but feel good about her.
It's like there is a kind of magic about her that makes people want to get close to her involuntarily.
“Sister-in-law, thank you, I’m sorry for causing you any trouble.”
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Hey, no matter what trouble or not, we are all a family, so don't be so polite."
“Just treat this place as your own home. As long as we have something to eat, you have something to eat.”
Cui Qingci’s eyes were a little red.
No one in the Pei family had ever said such a thing to her.
In fact, what she wants is very simple and contented, just to simply put her at ease.
At that time, she was interested in Pei Nanchen, but she didn't have any plans. She didn't care about his background, let alone whether he could get a title and become an official.
She thought that as long as he was kind to her and wholehearted, she would be content.
She looked at Jiang Zhiluo seriously.
I found that my sister-in-law is not only good-looking, but also has a calm and generous temperament.
What she was doing when she was fifteen.
She thought for a while, she was still dreaming when she was fifteen years old.
When I was still a young girl in Huaichun, I met Pei Nanchen and saw that he was being attacked and bullied. I went to help him and even became obsessed with him.
To this day, she doesn’t understand what happened to her at that time.
Originally, with her status at the time, her parents could find her a much better person than Pei Nanchen.
There are many talented and famous noble sons in the capital.
Thinking of this, Cui Qingci quickly shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
Those things are over, she wants to learn more from her sister-in-law.
She found that the music, chess, calligraphy and painting she had learned were useless and they were not life skills.
Cooking and craftsmanship are the practical things.
Cui Qingci took a croissant and took a bite.
The soft and sweet feeling when you put it in your mouth really hits your taste buds, with a touch of sweetness. This sweetness is different from the sweetness of cakes, it has a sweet and soft feeling.
It is more delicious when it is freshly baked and still warm.
Cui Qingci was amazed by the food.
She looked at the bread in her hand in amazement, "There are such delicious snacks."
It’s too much to her liking.
“I think it tastes better than the pastries made in the Imperial Kitchen.”
Cui Qingci used to be the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guo. When there were banquets in the palace, her mother would sometimes take them to the palace.
At that time, the food placed on the table was all food cooked in the imperial kitchen.
The pastries are very beautifully made, with a flowery look, but they taste just like that.
This bread is still delicious.
She would realize now that it was too modest for her sister-in-law to ask her to give her opinion, "Such a delicious thing, sister-in-law, I can't give you any opinion."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said: "If you like to eat, just eat more."
“Bake the egg yolk cake later, and then eat the egg yolk cake.”
In Jiang Zhiluo’s opinion, the egg yolk cake is delicious.
She just wanted to feed Cui Qingci.
Because Cui Qingci is also very good-looking and is pleasing to the eye.
She has both a ladylike temperament and a toughness.
Cui Qingci was very embarrassed and said: "Well, I already had a lot to eat in the morning."
“The porridge in the morning is digested quickly, so it doesn’t matter.”
“Just feel free to eat at your own home and eat whatever you want.”
Jiang Zhiluo was worried that Cui Qingci was cautious and uncomfortable. She doesn’t have so many particularities and rules, so the whole family can be happy.
Cui Qingci nodded, "Yeah."
Mrs. Cui was happy to see her sister-in-law getting along well.
She thought Zhiluo was really nice.
Mrs. Cui did not care to speak and was making bread quickly in her hands.
Cui Qingci ate two and felt too full to eat.
This bread is so delicious, I still want to eat it after eating one.
“Sister-in-law, I’ll make the bread first, and you’re going to set up a stall later?”
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said: "Well, before lunch, go to the town to set up a stall and sell bread. The business should be good, and everyone can eat the bread if they buy it."
Cui Qingci couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, can I go set up a stall with you?"
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned for a moment, looking at Cui Qingci's frail appearance, she was a little worried and said, "It's okay, but can you do it physically?"
“It’s different when setting up a stall than at home. Many people come around to ask a lot of questions and talk to you. If you don’t get used to it, it will be very uncomfortable.”
Cui Qingci shook her head and said: "No, I think it would be good if it was more lively."
She was locked in the courtyard by the people of Pei Mansion for a while. The environment was very quiet at that time, and she felt panicked due to the quietness.
When I come here, even if I am working in the yard, I can sometimes hear the cheerful sounds of children running around at the door.
Sometimes you can hear the voices of villagers passing by.
She felt that it was so lively and smoky.
And she can't rest on her laurels, she wants to learn some skills.
“I feel physically stronger, and it’s good to have something to do.”
Jiang Zhiluo thought for a while and nodded: "That's fine."
Chui Qingci, going out for a walk more often is also good for physical recovery.
At almost noon, they made a lot of bread. Jiang Zhiluo packed all the bread and put it on the oxcart, and then put a thick straw curtain on the oxcart.
Cui Qingci and Jiang Zhiluo got on the oxcart, and they drove the oxcart to the town.
When Cui Qingci ran here from Nanzhou, she was only focused on rushing along the way and had no intention of looking at the surrounding environment.
At this time, I felt relaxed. I sat on the bullock cart and went out, looking at the fields in the distance. When the wind blew, the waves of wheat fields rolled.
Just looking at it made me feel relaxed involuntarily.
The warm wind gently blew the hair around her face, and Cui Qingci felt relaxed all over her body.
Jiang Zhiluo asked: "Are you still used to riding in a bullock cart?"
Cui Qingci nodded and said, "Well, I'm getting used to it. It's good here."
Here, people live simple happiness.
Her mentality has changed a lot now. She feels that it is good to live a simple, stable and happy life.
“I feel more comfortable than riding in a carriage. The carriage is covered on all sides and I can hardly see the surrounding environment.”
“It’s easy to see the countryside in an oxcart, and people don’t feel weird riding in an oxcart.”
In an environment like the capital city, a noble girl from an aristocratic family would be laughed at to death if she rode in a bullock cart.
No one here will laugh at anything.
Furthermore, people here don’t know her or what she’s been through, so she doesn’t need to be talked about behind her back.
Jiang Zhiluo seemed to be able to guess Cui Qingci's concerns, and she said: "Don't worry, my mother and He Jin have discussed it, and we will tell the truth about your identity to the outside world, and say that you were staying at a relative's house. No one knows about the Pei family."
This is an ancient society, and the thinking is still relatively old-fashioned, so saying this can avoid some trouble.
Cui Qingci nodded.
They came to the town just in time for lunch. Jiang Zhiluo saw that there were more boats moored on this side of the pier, so she parked the bullock cart on this side of the pier, put down her things, and set up a stall.
As soon as they were put away and arranged, Jiang Zhiluo shouted: "Bread is for sale, freshly baked bread, sweet bread, everyone come and have a taste."
Jiang Zhiluo suddenly shouted, and Cui Qingci was startled.
She came back to her senses, opened her mouth and wanted to shout, but she couldn't say anything, and her face turned red in anxiety.
