Quick wear: Stunning witch lives a long life by giving birth to children

Chapter 168 The Regent of the Lonely Star of Heaven 23

Jiang Qingxue didn't care much about these few pieces of silver, so she smiled.

"Stop complaining. How much money can you spend on these meals? Just focus on doing good deeds."

Vanilla took the money and went out to pick and choose. The ones she picked were all Jiang Qingxue's favorites, including fresh green vegetables, white mushrooms, plump crucian carp, old hens, chicken and duck eggs, and pickled vegetables. The variety was even more abundant than when she was in the palace. .

Vanilla complained that she still had to pay money to get good things. She bought five or six days' worth and let them all take the rest back.

"The lady said, it's not easy for you either, so I'll give you the price at the market. From now on, we'll come every three or four days, and you don't have to come every day. We won't be able to finish the food if you give it too much."

Everyone got the money, but they were all a little disappointed. Obviously they were not satisfied with the price given by Vanilla. Some people thought that Vanilla had pocketed the silver. Jiang Qingxue was the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. How could she be so stingy?

A few days later, everyone came again, carrying more things than last time; but this time they learned a lesson and insisted on seeing Jiang Qingxue's face, and would not leave until they saw Jiang Qingxue.

Jiang Qingxue sleepily put on a coat and went out in person. She looked around and picked some in each person's basket. Even though the wild fruits didn't look very good, she bought some and picked them. Finally, they still asked Vanilla to calculate their money for them.

"Vanilla, don't treat them badly. We will give them as much as they sell in the market."

Everyone's hearts froze when they heard this, and they had to smile apologetically on their faces.

"Thank you miss..."

Jiang Qingxue yawned and said softly.

"Everyone, don't come so early in the future. I haven't woken up yet, and I don't have anything to entertain you. If you come after noon, I can treat you to a bowl of mung bean soup."

Everyone held the money in their hands, thanked them and prepared to go back.

A woman suddenly knelt down and begged her.

"Ms. Jiang, please buy some more duck eggs. If you are pregnant, eating duck eggs is good for your child."

Jiang Qingxue waved her hand.

"Your duck eggs are not fresh anymore. You brought those eggs last time, right? Take out all the herbs and let her take them back to hatch the chicks. When the time comes, you bring the chickens and ducks, and I will definitely buy them from you." of."

The old woman hasn't left yet.

"Why aren't they fresh? Are they all eggs just picked up?"

The lady in charge cursed vehemently.

"Shut up, who is Miss Jiang, and who are you? If Miss Jiang says it's not fresh, then it must not be fresh. How can you argue back? These eggs of yours have been around for half a month at least. From now on, let the children at home guard the chicken buttocks, and make them hot..."

Jiang Qingxue originally thought that this was the end of the matter, but who knew that during dinner time, the old lady actually came. She held three warm eggs reverently, with wet chicken feces still on them.

"Ms. Jiang, it's really hot when you return it. I swear to God, it really just fell out of the chicken's butt..."

Jiang Qingxue felt a little embarrassed, so she gave half a bunch of copper coins to the old woman.

"It's hot, but it doesn't have to be that hot..."

The old woman burst into tears of joy and kept kowtowing.

"Miss is really kind. My grandson's medicine is enough..."

Jiang Qingxue didn't ask what kind of disease her grandson had. In this world, everyone has their own sufferings. She was not the savior. She only asked the old woman to come back in a few days.

"The weather is hot now, and chicken and duck eggs are not easy to preserve. I will teach you a recipe someday to make these eggs into a delicacy, which can be preserved for a long time and can be sold for money."

Vanilla asked dubiously.

"Young lady, with your rich body, when did you learn to cook?"

Jiang Qingxue waved her hands indifferently and started to wash up.

"It's such a simple thing, you can do it just by looking at it."

The courtyard she lives in now is called Qingfeng Yuan. There are two women who help with washing clothes and sweeping the courtyard, and a cook with mediocre skills. They live on a simple diet every day. She is really greedy, and occasionally cooks to reward herself. Visit the Five Zang Temple.

The days in Zhuangzi were lived in such a leisurely manner, which was quite comfortable.

When she was in a good mood, she would teach them how to make preserved eggs and salted duck eggs. The women in the village were greatly surprised, and their attitude towards her also changed drastically. They no longer dared to blatantly care about her money.

……

On this day, Jiang Qingxue was bored and was about to go out for a stroll when she saw Zhuangzi getting into a luxurious carriage. A burly man got out of the carriage, followed by two followers.

Vanilla yelled softly with sharp eyes.

"Miss, isn't that General Ni?"

Jiang Qingxue was shocked and turned around to leave.

"Isn't it? How did he find Zhuangzi and come up? Please cover me and leave."

Ni Yuanqiao caught up with her and stopped in front of her.

"Miss Jiang, why are you running?"

He looked straight at Jiang Qingxue, from head to toe, but he was relieved when he saw that her complexion was rosy, her expression was calm, and there was no trace of injury.

Jiang Qingxue smiled awkwardly.

"It turned out to be General Ni. I didn't see clearly, so I thought he was from the palace?"

A stranger came up to Zhuangzi, and everyone quickly gathered around. Some people went to report to the steward at Zhuangzi. Everyone looked at Ni Yuanqiao warily, as if they were afraid that he would be harmful to Jiang Qingxue.

Jiang Qingxue rolled her eyes and said to everyone.

"This is a mighty general and a good friend of mine. Let's all disperse."

Then everyone slowly left.

"Yes, Miss Jiang."

Ni Yuanqiao's ears slowly turned red and he asked in surprise.

"You still regard me as your friend, so can I come in and sit there?"

He was indeed reckless today, but after thinking about it for so many days, he still couldn't worry about Jiang Qingxue. He wanted to see her in person, and he also had something to ask her, otherwise he wouldn't give up.

Jiang Qingxue walked in front generously.

"Of course, let's go!"

She was very good at using the power of a fox as a tiger, but Ni Yuanqiao looked flattered, immersed in Jiang Qingxue's joy of treating him as a good friend.

The two sat down at the stone table in Qingfeng Courtyard. Jiang Qingxue sent the others away before ordering Vanilla with a smile.

"Herb, Lushan Yunwu has finished drinking it. Go and make a pot of Liu'an Guapian. I wonder if General Ni can get used to it? Bring out some of the new snacks I made yesterday."

Ni Yuanqiao was a little surprised. He had thought that Jiang Qingxue would have a very difficult life, maybe even given abortion pills, and thrown into the village like rags, leaving her to fend for herself.

But she didn't expect that she could still have enough food and clothing.

Do you want her to give birth to the child? Then leave the mother and leave the son? Although he has been away from the capital all year round, he has heard a lot about these dirty things since he was a child. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but show a bit of pity in his eyes.

After Vanilla made tea, she made a cup of wild honey water for Jiang Qingxue, then stepped aside. Ni Yuanqiao drank the tea silently, not knowing how to speak, and both of them were silent.

There was a gentle breeze blowing in the courtyard, and only the leaves were rustling.

Jiang Qingxue broke the silence with a smile.

"Is General Ni passing by?"

Ni Yuanqiao hesitated for a moment and said with an unnatural expression.

"No, I came here specifically to see you."
