Xu Lanyin put down the food box in her right hand, knelt down and saluted, "I am Lanyin, the commoner, greeting the Madam, Mr. Min, the Great Madam, and the Great Miss."

Min Nan smiled and said, "I heard you came up with something fun again?"

Xu Lanyin smiled as she took off the package slung over her shoulder and pulled out two large cloth dolls. One was gray, the other white, with big heads, a protruding big round nose, and two red nostrils. They looked like pigs.

The shape is exaggerated and strange, which is really cute.

Madam Min and the others all laughed. Min Nan laughed the loudest and shouted, "Show it to me quickly."

Min Shan laughed and said, "Even though the pig looks so ugly, it can be made to look so good."

Seeing that her little girl liked it very much, Mrs. Min asked the maid to bring a brocade stool for Xu Lanyin to sit on.

Xu Lanyin handed over the food box again and said with a smile, "This is the butterfly cake and pear and osmanthus double flower that I made myself. Please don't dislike it."

A maid took the food box and opened it. The snacks were sweet and beautiful, especially the pear and osmanthus double flower, with its two layers of white and yellow flowers, transparent. Xu Lanyin explained that the pear and osmanthus double flower was made by mixing mashed pear juice with sweet potato starch and adding osmanthus jam, resulting in a transparent, sweet, and sticky texture, and also good for the body.

Seeing this dessert, even Grandma Min, who had been watching through the crack in the door, began to admire the village girl. She was pregnant, and seeing such a beautiful little dessert, her mouth kept watering.

Mrs. Min smiled and nodded, then let him go aside.

Xu Lanyin also understood that since she was not familiar with them, it would be presumptuous to send them food. They would definitely let the servants taste it before the master ate it after she left.

Min Nan was disappointed for not being able to eat the beautiful snacks, but was then attracted by the little gray pig and the little white pig.

Mrs. Min asked a few questions about who were the members of Xu Lanyin's family, what was her main livelihood, etc.

Xu Lanyin talked about how she often went into the mountains to collect herbs, and then said, "By chance, I got some balsam. It was given to me by an old man who collected herbs. He said it could whiten and remove scars. I didn't listen at the time, but later I accidentally scratched the back of my hand while collecting herbs, and a big bloody mark was left on it. I rubbed it with the balsam, and it healed in two days." She smiled embarrassedly and said, "I heard that Miss Min fell, so I brought it with me." As she spoke, she took out a small porcelain box from her purse.

She deliberately called ointment "balsam." She had always thought that while Madam Min and Min Shan weren't necessarily bad people, they were shrewd and calculating, definitely not kindhearted. Furthermore, there was a huge disparity between her and them. She didn't realize that this thing was the priceless Jade Skin Regenerating Cream, which allowed them to take advantage with a clear conscience and genuine happiness.

The eyes of those people widened. Madam Min was still a little unconvinced and asked, "Is the effect really that good?"

Xu Lanyin nodded.

Min Nan said anxiously, "Mom, please put some on me quickly."

The small scar on Min Nan's body was Mrs. Min's biggest pain. Although her daughter was still young and the scar would fade with time, she was always worried that it would leave a mark and affect her future in-laws.

She took the porcelain box and saw that there was only so much in it. Everyone frowned slightly.

Xu Lanyin snorted inwardly. Even with such a small gift, her heart was bleeding. That Jade-like Skin Regenerating Cream was worth a fortune. Su Qing had become a princess because of it. A small peasant girl like herself, wanting to marry into the family of a county magistrate, had to spend a fortune.

She explained with a smile, "He gave me very little to begin with, so I used some more... But this balm is amazing. Just a little bit is enough to make it work."

Mrs. Min took a little bit with her index finger and rubbed it on the small scar on Min Nan's body.

Min Nan smiled and said, "It's so comfortable, it's like a cool breeze blowing there."

Grandma Min walked over to take a closer look and said with a smile, "It's really amazing. The places where the balm was applied are obviously more shiny than other places."

Madam Min also noticed this and was extremely pleased. She had a hunch that even if this balm couldn't completely eliminate the scar, it would at least lighten its color and improve the skin's appearance. She smiled at Xu Lanyin and said, "Thank you for your kindness. If this balm can truly heal Nan's scar, I'll remember your kindness."

Min Shan smiled and said, "If it's okay, I'll remember this favor."

Xu Lanyin smiled and said, "Mrs. Min, Master Min, you are too polite."

Her goal achieved, she stood up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Min wanted to keep some food for her, but Xu Lanyin said her mother and brother were waiting for her at the clinic.

Mrs. Min did not stay any longer. Out of joy, she rewarded Xu Lanyin with five taels of silver, a piece of fine cloth, and a few packages of snacks. She also said nicely, "Thank you for thinking of Nan'er. My master has always told us not to compete with the people for profit, and I don't want to let you spend money."

Xu Lanyin suppressed the depression in her heart, thanked for the reward, and praised the upright official for his noble character.

Min Nan already liked Xu Lanyin very much. He gave her a piece of nine-silk silk from Jiangnan and asked her to come and play with him often. He also told her to remember to give her the first one if he had anything fun.

Mrs. Min looked at Xu Lanyin, who was well-mannered and calm, not at all like a country girl. She smiled and said, "Nan'er likes you. If you have nothing to do, come and talk to her and play chess."

Both her mother-in-law and her younger sister-in-law had given gifts, so Grandma Min couldn't help but give her something in return, so she gave her two taels of silver and two silk handkerchiefs. She said even more charmingly, "My younger sister-in-law has very high tastes. If Miss Xu has any more good things, please bring them to my younger sister-in-law for her to appreciate."

Among the people in this room, little Min Nan is the cutest.

Xu Lanyin had just gone out with her things in her arms when she ran into an old woman.

The old woman came in and reported, "The master wants you to go to the front yamen. He said that the newly promoted scholar, Mr. Gu, is very talented and wants you to meet him..."

Xu Lanyin snorted inwardly, thinking that if one's virtue does not match his position, no matter how talented he is, he will be a disaster.

Xu Lanyin came to the outer courtyard. Xu Lanzhou and Xu Dashi were sitting in the house drinking tea. Seeing her holding so many things, they thought that they must be gifts given away and that they were liked by the county magistrate's family.

Several people happily put the things into the basket, thanked Butler Tang, and hurried to the clinic.

Qin and Xu Lanting had finished seeing the patient and picked up several large bags of medicine. They and Li were sitting in the hall to rest, while Fifth Grandpa's donkey cart was parked nearby waiting for them.

After a few brief words, they got on the donkey cart.

Seeing how much the county magistrate's wife had gifted them, Fifth Grandpa was filled with envy. Xu Lanyin also gave him a few snacks, and his beard trembled with joy.

"Haha, the old man actually ate the snacks from the Qingtian master's house. His ancestors' graves are smoking. I have to show off when I return to the village."

It was already noon, so they went to the same noodle stall they had been to last time and ordered sweet potato noodles. The proprietress knew Xu Lanyin and smiled and praised Xu Lanting.

Qin and Xu Lanting were already very tired, so they didn't go shopping. They just bought two pieces of meat on the way and took a bus back to Xujia Village.
