Chapter 186: Even If The Money Dissipates, It Will Come Back
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xiaoxiao touched her chin and looked down at her old clothes. When she came out, she went to check the accounts for seven taels of silver. Yun Yi carried a bag and smiled foolishly behind her.
Hehe, Master had it too.
Spending money made Xiaoxiao happy, even though after this happiness, she knew that she might have to face her mother’s Finger Flicking Technique. She bought clothes for Rong Yan because she noticed that Little Big Brother had grown taller and his original clothes no longer fit him. Yes, children grew up quickly. As an “elder”, shouldn’t she show some concern for a little kid?
Seeing that she was gradually losing her rationality, Yun Yi couldn’t help but remind her, “Miss Ning, can you take it easy? What if Madam sees your generosity later and gets angry and doesn’t let you go out again?”
Xiaoxiao looked at him as if she was looking at a silly child. “Do you think my mother will let me go next time with my current results?”
So you knew!
Xiaoxiao, who had changed into new clothes, put her hands behind her back and shook her head as she said to him, “As the saying goes, if you have wine today, drink today. If you worry tomorrow, worry tomorrow. I was born with a use for my wealth. Even if the money dissipates, it will come back.”
Yun Yi felt that there was something strange about her words, but after thinking about it, he felt that she was right. He suddenly recalled the magical change in the Ning Family’s Second Young Master from struggling to compromise to actively cooperating with his sister. He could not help but shiver.
H-h-h-he did not want to lose himself and become Miss Ning’s believer!
Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that Yun Yi was thinking about something that frightened him. She immediately felt that boys were so complicated.
Not only did Xiaoxiao buy the things needed for the shop, but she also took the opportunity to add a lot of miscellaneous things to the house. From firewood, oil, salt, clothes, and bedding, she was prepared to change them completely after getting rid of the old residence. She did not believe that those people would still dare to make a scene in her house.
She wanted her family to be thriving and prosperous. She wanted the old residence to see them but not be able to touch them!
Of course, taking advantage of the fact that she had bought a lot of miscellaneous things, she also bought all kinds of seeds. The variety was so complicated that Yun Yi could not understand it anyway.
Madam Song, who was left in the shop, initially suspected that the shop owner had sent the goods to the wrong place. Later on, she found a vine and pinched it in her hand with a wooden face. Later on, she took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. In the end, she was so angry that she could not move.
Moreover, in the end, Xiaoxiao came back with Mrs. Shen. It was not appropriate for her to beat up the child in front of the county magistrate’s wife.
Xiaoxiao blinked and hid behind her savior. She said to Madam Song, “Aiya, I happened to meet Mrs. Shen on the way, so I invited her to our shop to drink milk tea and eat Cloud Cake.”
“Aiyaya, fortunately, I thought ahead and bought tables, chairs, and stools in advance. Otherwise, look, there’s no place for the guests to sit when they come. Wouldn’t that be neglecting them?!”
Madam Song was angry and amused. After giving her a “get even” look, she went to talk to the county magistrate’s wife cautiously.
After knowing her true identity, Madam Song naturally couldn’t let go. Mrs. Shen also expressed her understanding, so she picked a topic that the Ning Family would be interested in.
“The person in charge of the entrance test today is the Dean. Dean Lu is the top scholar at the age of 20. He’s an unprecedented genius. The questions he sets are also different from those ordinary old pedants. Compared to studying, he cares more about the students’ temperament and diligence.”
It was indeed as she had said. In the academy, when the students rubbed their palms together and prepared to show off their literary attainments, they heard the examiner ask, “Write your favorite essay or poem on the answer sheet. There’s no time limit. Those who finish it first, enter the next level.”
The candidates could not help but fall into deep thought. Some people rubbed their palms together and prepared to write dozens of pages to prove their erudition. Some people carefully deliberated and wanted to silently say a few shocking sentences to show that they were extraordinary. Some people were full of confidence and wrote the original poems that they had carefully deliberated over the past few days. It could be said that they each displayed their own abilities.
However, after writing this answer sheet, everyone was in a dilemma again. Since ancient times, anyone with some courage wanted to fight for first place. However, those who had some secret schemes, were unwilling to be first. One had heard that the tallest tree would be destroyed by the wind. No one wanted to be the first to stand out—it would not be good if the examiner treated them as arrogant and impatient people.
Just as he was hesitating and pondering, two youths in the crowd stood up almost at the same time and walked towards the invigilator. “I’m done.”
The two of them had different styles. One of them did not have any luxurious clothes, but he had an outstanding charm and a natural noble aura. The other was dressed in simple clothes that were slightly shabby, but he was neither servile nor overbearing. He had his own style. Coupled with their calm and determined expressions, it was impossible for anyone to place the word “arrogant” on them.
As expected, the examiner only glanced at their answers before nodding and opening the door to the next level. “Please.”
The remaining students admired them and were vexed, but they all sped up their writing.
It was Rong Yan and Ning Ansheng who handed in their papers just now. They had each recorded a poem that they liked. It did not have many words, but every word was written very seriously. Ning Ansheng’s handwriting was naturally much worse than Rong Yan’s, but he still straightened his back and did not look inferior.
The examiner nodded secretly. He already felt that these two people would not be ordinary in the future.
While the examination was intense, a unique fragrance was slowly wafting out of the brush and ink shop outside of the academy.
At first, when the smell of fireworks wafted out of the shop, the shopkeepers of the bookstore were originally frowning and planning to protest. How could a bookstore be tainted by smoke?
However, that fragrance actually smelled like tea?
So the person who bought Old Qian’s shop was going to open a tea shop on this street?
This was in line with the noble aura of a scholar. Just as they were reluctantly acknowledging it, the fragrance of tea was mixed with a faint milk fragrance. After that, there was a very unfamiliar and tempting sweet fragrance.
The moment the plain cake was out of the oven, the fragrance was the strongest.
Xiaoxiao put them aside to cool them and started to pick and choose from a pile of jars wrapped in black cloth to cover the cream that she took out from her space. She didn’t need much, just enough to make a cake, so it wasn’t easy to arouse suspicion.
Even Madam Song felt that she should never step into the kitchen. Unless Xiaoxiao called her, she could only smell the fragrance with Mrs. Shen and the others.
Fortunately, Xiaoxiao was a considerate little girl. While waiting for the cake to be baked, she had already cooked fresh and delicious milk tea for everyone. She even poured it into beautiful teacups that she had just bought and served it on the table.
Mrs. Shen ate and drank the milk tea and cake that had just been baked. She felt that this combination was very beautiful.
Just now, when she heard from the concierge that Xiaoxiao was here to get milk, she gifted herself to her without a word. In order not to miss the opportunity to freeload, she even forgot to bring her son along.
At this moment, she sighed enviously with a milk fragrance. “Your and Young Master Zhao’s shop is about to be completed.. Where are our shops?”
