Mancao said: "I like it, I'm worried about her... Tongtong, I seem to have found the reason why she has been refusing to accept me. You were right before, she probably really doesn't like women..."

Mancao said worriedly: "If this is the case, what should I do? Other things can be changed, but the status of a daughter, I'm afraid I won't be able to change it in this lifetime."

"Tongtong, do you think she let me see it on purpose, so that I can retreat in spite of difficulties?"

Me: "This... how did she react at that time?"

Mancao thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No, it's no different from usual."

"how about you?"

"I just pretended I didn't see it... She didn't say anything, and I didn't take the initiative to mention it. I just pretended not to know... But although I was the same as usual in front of her, my heart was different."

"Do you want to give up?"

Mancao shook her head: "From the moment I knew she was a woman, I asked myself, I still like her, no matter what she is. But now I am afraid that she is using this to politely reject me, if That's right, I..."

Mancao paused for a moment, and then continued: "If she can never fall in love with me, if she is already troubled by my liking, then no matter how much I like it, I will give up."

I held her hand and said, "Mancao, go and have a frank talk with her. After all these years, it's impossible for her not to notice your thoughts. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, you know?"

Mancao stared at me for a long time, and finally made a decision: "You are right, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."

***

Say goodbye to the vines and return to the villa.

As soon as I entered Qingwu Garden, I saw a few unfamiliar craftsmen walking through the garden with toolboxes on their backs.

I stopped Wei Zi who was following those craftsmen, and he gave some instructions, and the craftsmen stopped and waited for him, while Wei Zi walked towards me.

"Ma'am." He bowed to me with his hands clasped.

"What's going on?" My eyes passed over those craftsmen.

Wei Zi said: "Going back to Madam, I received a letter from the owner, ordering my subordinates to hire people to build a kitchen in Qingwuyuan. These people are famous Ziren in the industry in Yecheng."

"Well, I see, let's go."

But I thought in my heart, after so many years, Qingwu Garden has never repaired the kitchen, only after I came.

The reason is already obvious.

Chapter 50

Pearl is a lovable girl, not only has a pleasing appearance, but also has a personality. She always smiles when she sees everyone. She has just arrived in Qingwuyuan for a few days, and she has captured the hearts of everyone in Qingwuyuan, including me.

Qingqian offered to let Pearl live in her yard, and took care of everything for her herself, treating her like her own sister.Even Wei Zi, who has always treated people coldly, would smile a little when seeing Pearl.

After returning to Tianshui Villa, Pearl took the initiative to take care of my food. The small kitchen has not yet been repaired, so my daily meals still come from Jinhua Building.However, since Pearl came, she has excluded several dishes from the daily meals delivered by Jinhua Building. If I have any objections, she will look at it aggrievedly with those round eyes that look like floating moons. I, then, without saying anything, I surrendered.

After a few days, she directly made a list for me, listing the dishes that I can’t eat at all, the dishes that I should try to avoid as much as possible, and the dishes that I can eat a little bit. There are more than 100 dishes listed, including There are dozens of dishes that I like.

"Miss Pearl, what else can I eat?" I asked her dumbfounded.

Pearl said solemnly: "Except for those listed above, it's fine."

"However, in this way, I will lose a lot of delicacies to enjoy. Life will also lose a lot of fun." I pretended to be sad and said.

In fact, I just wanted to tease the little girl and see how she would answer.

Unexpectedly, after thinking for a while with lowered eyes, she seriously said: "That's easy, I will cook a lot of delicious food, all of which are unique skills, which cannot be tasted elsewhere, if the lady wants to eat the dishes on this list in the future Now, I'll make you my own dish, so that you can make up for it."

I was a little surprised in my heart: "What else do you not know?"

The little girl was proud: "That's right, otherwise, how could I coax my master to teach me all his life's skills?"

"Master?"

Pearl looked a little annoyed: "Ah, master is my father, he taught me medical skills."

I thought to myself that this father would bribe his daughter with delicious food to teach his daughter medical skills.

Pearl seemed to see through my thoughts, and then said: "Miss, you don't know, my father is the most hateful, saying that ancestral medical skills are passed on from male to female, and I would rather teach his male apprentices who are far less clever than me. He was willing to teach me, but fortunately he was subdued by me in the end."

Me: "..." Should I remind this child that her father was only buried a few days ago.Is it really good to be so happy?

Compared with the filial daughter who sold her body to bury her father a few days ago, she looks like a completely different person.

But looking at her bright eyes, I thought to forget it, maybe this girl is just optimistic by nature.

However, I really looked at her differently on the fifth day when we returned to Tianshui Villa.That day, I drew a picture of endless life in the simple study room in the bedroom partition, and only Qingqian was left in the room to serve ink.

This is a congratulatory gift I plan to present to my grandmother on her birthday in seven days. This is my choice after careful consideration. At my grandmother's age, I have never seen any rare treasures. My grandmother's character is not fond of gold and silver. Therefore, after careful consideration, I decided that the birthday gift should be based on my heart. Chen Luo's calligraphy and my paintings complement each other perfectly.

But this picture of Longevity Without Borders is extremely complicated and not easy to draw. It is estimated that it will take at least five or six days to complete it.

Pearl broke in at this moment and locked the door behind her back.

I stopped writing and waited quietly for Pearl to explain her strange behavior.

Even Qingqian, who always favored her, asked, "Pearl, what are you doing?"

Pearl walked over with a serious expression on her face.

"Miss, sister Qingqian, I went to Baoxin Garden today."

I frowned: "What's wrong?"

Baoxinyuan was where I used to live. After Ji and I moved out of Xishantang, we lived there until I married Chen Luo and moved to Qingwuyuan.

This is not a secret, Pearl, as long as she asks any servant in the mansion, she can find out, but what is she going there for?

Pearl said: "Yesterday I asked Sister Qingqian, and I found out where the young lady lived. I was thinking to see if I could find any clues, and I did."

"What clue?" I asked strangely, I felt that what she said today was a bit incomprehensible.

Pearl took it for granted and said: "Miss, the drunken acacia on her body, this poison originated from Xixia, and it is hardly seen in the Shang Kingdom. Don't you think it's strange, miss?"

I:"……"

About the drunkenness, because the mastermind has not been found out, only a few of my cronies know about it. I have also told them not to spread it. I can be sure that this has never been mentioned in front of Pearl, so how did she know?

Qingqian and I looked at each other, and I also saw doubts in her eyes.

It's not shallow either...

I looked at Pearl and finally asked directly, "How did you find out about Drunken Acacia?"

Pearl said: "Miss's medicine prescription is recorded in my family's ancestral medical books. It is the antidote for drunken acacia."

I thought to myself, none of the doctors I hired before diagnosed the drunken acacia on my body, which delayed me for a few years, but this 12-year-old girl could tell it at a glance...
