Mrs. Qin and Qin Hexuan also ate with gusto in the car.

Mrs. Qin prefers mushrooms in the dish to chicken.

The chicken stewed with mushrooms that I used to eat mostly used dried mushrooms that were then soaked after being dried.

This is the first time I have eaten something made with fresh mushrooms.

Although mushrooms that are dried and then soaked have a stronger and fresher taste, their texture is far inferior to that of fresh mushrooms.

Today's mushrooms taste meaty and chewy.

The mushrooms absorbed the flavor of the pheasant and tasted almost the same as meat, but even more delicious than meat.

Qin Hexuan prefers roasted lamb legs.

The roasted lamb leg that Li Fu presented had been sliced from the best part of the meat selected by someone.

But even so, Qin Hexuan still tasted a bit of wildness in the food.

The food we eat at home is usually too exquisite. It can be said that we can never get tired of fine food.

However, compared to those foods that made others envious, Qin Hexuan felt that he still preferred the meals cooked by Mrs. Ye.

After lunch, everyone took a break as usual.

When I heard Li Fu ringing the bell in front, I knew that the convoy was about to set off again.

Ye Changrui picked up the sleepy Qingtian and followed Wei Yan.

Old Mrs. Ye also got on the mule cart in front.

Guo, whose legs and feet were sore from walking, looked at it with envy, but she knew that she was not lucky enough.

Fortunately, she felt a little more balanced when she saw the other three sisters-in-law walking like her.

As soon as Mrs. Ye returned to the mule cart, she noticed that the atmosphere inside was a little strange.

The two maids, one fat and one thin, both looked worried.

Every time they come back from lunch, the two of them always have to praise Mrs. Ye’s cooking skills.

Seeing that no one said anything, Mrs. Ye didn't want to ask actively.

But after sitting for a while, she couldn't stand the atmosphere anymore and finally couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, two maids? Is it because the food at lunch today is not to your liking?"

The two maids, one fat and one thin, looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

After the fat nanny sighed, she hurriedly said to Old Madam Ye, "Old sister, don't worry, it has nothing to do with lunch!"

"Yes, the lunch is delicious. Both the Madam and the Young Master praised it!" Thin Nanny also followed.

"Then what happened to you? Weren't you fine this morning?"

The two maids looked at each other.

Finally, the thin nanny turned around, took out a piece of clothing, and spread it out for Old Madam Ye to see.

This is a fully embroidered horse-faced skirt. Not only is the embroidery delicate, but it is also mixed with gold and silver threads, which sparkle under the light.

Just taking a look at it unfolded like this almost blinded Old Lady Ye's eyes.

If you wear it on a person and walk around, the light and shadow will change, and it will definitely be sparkling and flowing with soft light, which is beautiful beyond words.

"Oh my god, this skirt is so beautiful." Old Mrs. Ye was amazed.

It looks good, but it’s definitely expensive!

Farmers have to work hard all their lives, digging for food in the soil and sweating profusely, but they still can't earn enough to buy a skirt like a rich man!

"Hey, elder sister, please take a closer look." The thin nanny held the skirt in her hand and came in front of Old Lady Ye.

Old Mrs. Ye squinted her eyes and took a closer look, only to discover that the skirt was embroidered with a pattern of pomegranate flowers and seeds, but at this moment, the place where the pomegranate seeds were exposed due to her tilted mouth was scratched a little.

"Oh, what a sin! How could this happen?" Old Mrs. Ye was so distressed that she almost couldn't breathe.

The thin nanny sighed and said, "Before, when we were outside the Great Wall, we were attacked by refugees, and several boxes of luggage were overturned on the ground.

"At that time, the situation outside the Great Wall was very chaotic. After we drove the refugees away, we saw that the boxes were not lost, so we loaded them onto the truck and continued on our way.

“After entering the customs, the road was peaceful, so the lady asked the maids to open all the boxes and check them.

"But when I checked this skirt today, I found it was scratched."

After the two maids finished speaking, they began to sigh to each other.

Old Madam Ye was heartbroken, but she tried to comfort the two of them, saying, "This isn't your fault. Madam Qin has such a good temper, she definitely won't blame you."

"Old sister, you don't know that this skirt is not Madam's, but was made by Madam's family specifically for another aunt."

"That aunt lost her child in infancy, and she hasn't been pregnant since. Isn't this what her family wants to bring good luck to her..."

"As it turned out, my skirt was ruined before I even reached the capital."

"Why did they damage the pomegranate seeds?"

"If that person knew about this, I'm afraid he would be very sick again."

The fat nanny and the thin nanny complained to Old Lady Ye one after another.

"This is really..." Old Mrs. Ye felt troubled for them after hearing this.

The fat nanny said helplessly, "If there is no other way, we can only ask someone to take it to the best embroidery workshop in Jiangnan to see if there is anyone skilled enough to repair it."

The thin nanny was filled with worry: "But if this happens, I won't be able to wear it in time for the New Year!"

When she heard them talking about Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop, Mrs. Ye suddenly seemed to think of something.

But the words rolled around on her tongue and she swallowed them back.

This is not an ordinary piece of clothing. If it is damaged, the whole family cannot afford to pay for it even if they sell themselves into slavery.

But the thin nanny noticed her strange behavior and stopped her hand when she was about to put up her skirt.

"Sister, what were you thinking about just now? Do you have any ideas?"

"No, no." Old Madam Ye quickly shook her head. "I'm already old, and this is the first time I've seen a skirt like this. If you can't think of a solution, what can I do?"
