Chapter 85 Huaian County
Pan Yingying raised her eyebrows. She thought Lin Xiao'e was here to persuade her to reconcile with Yu Chaosheng.
I picked up the purse and put it to my nose and smelled it. It had a fresh and elegant orchid scent.
"Orchids?" she asked.
Lin Xiao'e nodded. "I smelled the fragrance of orchid on you before, and I think you would like it."
Pan Yingying said "hmm", but it was not because she liked it, but because the shower gel and shampoo set she used some time ago had an orchid scent.
"I accept the purse, thank you." Pan Yingying really liked this small purse. It was made of light blue material and had two lifelike little goldfish embroidered on it. She immediately hung the purse around her waist.
Seeing that she really liked it, Lin Xiao'e added, "I can also mix other fragrances. I will make a few more for you when the time comes. You can wear them in turn."
Pan Yingying did not refuse. In order to prevent her from having too many thoughts, she had to find something for her to do.
"By the way, how is the learning situation in the team?" Pan Yingying spoke, thinking of the literacy classes in the team.
Speaking of this, Lin Xiao'e felt a bit of a headache.
How can some people be so stupid? The handwriting looks like a dog's crawling, and the hand holding the pen is as soft as noodles, much worse than when holding a knife, but fortunately, the words are already recognizable.
"It's okay, I recognize them all, but my writing is not very good. I need to practice more." Lin Xiao'e answered without any emotion.
She was already numb facing these stupid students.
Well, the dumbest ones are Pan Yingying's two maids, but this cannot be said in front of the master.
The progress of the women was slower than that of the men. They had already learned calligraphy under the guidance of Liu Mingxuan and had been practicing calligraphy for some time.
Men have more opportunities to study than women, so it is normal for them to progress faster.
Pan Yingying only reminded them, "Let them practice more. It's troublesome if they can only recognize words but not write."
Lin Xiao'e nodded and decided to give Honglian and Lumei twice as much homework when she returned, so as to make sure they could stand up again within a short period of time.
Honglian and Lumei were still unaware of the bad news. After they and Xiaotao had set up the tent, they were called over by Zhao.
Zhao didn't say anything, but asked them how Pan Yingying felt.
Honglian said everything she could say, and she would never add anything she couldn't say.
When the master went to the girl, he reminded her that the girl's situation must not be revealed to others at will, not even to the closest people. They were the girl's maids and only obeyed the girl's orders.
The two sisters always kept these words in mind, never daring to forget them and never talking about them to anyone.
It is precisely because of this that they have been able to stay with the girl until now. Haven’t you seen that none of the girls who came later wanted the girl?
After having dinner at Yu Laoer's house, Yu Chaosheng took Batian into the woods.
Yu Laoer's family had no raw meat, and neither did he, so he could only take Batian out to fend for himself.
They did not take the official road, but set up camp in a slightly flat area outside a small woods, which was still some distance away from the village.
After entering the forest, Yu Chaosheng untied Batian's rope and let it hunt on its own.
Although it is less than half a year old, as a white tiger, it must learn the necessary survival skills.
"Batian, come on, let me show you my skills!" Yu Chaosheng took out a slingshot from his bag and called for Batian to follow him.
It was not yet dark, and the forest was very dim and filled with a wet mist. When my shoes stepped on the ground, there was a "crackling, crackling" sound of dead branches breaking.
Batian let out an “aw” as a response to him.
The man and the tiger shuttled through the forest and soon walked into the depths. Pan Yingying was half lying on the bed playing Candy Crush. She bought a game console from the system mall and started playing it after dinner.
Zhao's voice came from outside the tent, "Yingying, can I come in?"
Pan Yingying threw the game console into the space and said loudly, "Okay, come in."
Zhao pulled aside the curtain and came in, holding a small bundle in her hands.
"Mom." Pan Yingying got off the bed and walked to the coffee table.
Zhao put the bundle on the coffee table, "This is the spring shirt I made for you, do you like it?"
Pan Yingying took out a pot of scented tea from the space, and then took out two cups and poured a cup for Zhao.
"Mom, I have clothes. Besides, we can just buy some when we get to the next county. You don't have to worry about it anymore." Pan Yingying sat beside her, leaning her head on her shoulder and acting coquettishly.
Zhao patted her hands and said, "How can it be considered hard work to make clothes for you? I just like you to dress beautifully."
Pan Yingying chuckled and took out a small box that she had prepared long ago from the space, "Then you are not allowed to refuse my filial piety."
Zhao scolded, "How can this be the same?"
Pan Yingying opened the box, and inside was a hairpin inlaid with gold and jade. It was elegant and simple, and did not look cheap.
Zhao thought she had bought it in the city before, and frowned, "You're wasting money again."
Pan Yingying didn't say that this was taken out of the jewelry they had divided before. She shook her arm and said, "Oh, Mom, I'm rich now." Although she was not as rich as a country, she was at least a wealthy woman.
Zhao disagreed with her words, "Even if you are rich, you still have to support those people. You have to save money. I have a lot of money, and your three brothers have given it to you."
She was not wrong. There were so many people in the Dragon Shadow Guards, and they needed food and drink, which all cost money.
Pan Yingying curled her lips, that's why she drove all the people out to earn money for her.
Use the money they earn to support them, perfect!
Zhao thought of something and asked quietly, "Didn't Chaosheng come to see you?"
Pan Yingying snorted, "Who cares if he comes to see me?"
It would be best if he never came to look for her, so that all his wealth would belong to her. When she arrived in Yaocheng, she would spread a layer of gold on her bed and sleep on the gold every day.
Zhao didn't say anything like "husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight" or "fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed". She knew Pan Yingying's personality best and knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she simply changed the subject.
"When we get to the next county, can we go into the city and stay at an inn?"
Pan Yingying took a sip of herbal tea and nodded, "That's what I was planning too. I heard that jade is abundant here, so I decided to take a look."
Zhao said, "Yes, the love token that His Highness gave to the Empress was a rough stone obtained from here, and he cut and polished it himself."
Pan Yingying knew about this, and the engagement bracelet was now lying in her space.
The next county is called Huai'an. Liangzhou was the fief of King Huai. It is said that Huai'an is rich in jade. King Huai became the first in the wealth ranking among all the princes by relying on Huai'an jade.
However, the jade mine is in the hands of King Huai, otherwise she would like to go and take a look.
The main thing is that iron ore can be sold to the mall, but what if jade ore can also be sold to the mall?
Pan Yingying's eyes moved, "Huai'an should also have raw stones to sell, right?"
Zhao said "hmm" and explained Pan Yingying's doubts, "Betting on stones is very popular here."
