For a while, she carefully observed the youngest daughter-in-law of the Li family, who was neither servile nor arrogant, but poised and graceful.

Even the chubby princess, who is only a few years old, sits steadily and very well-behaved, unlike a child from a farming family.

Thinking this, she called to her second daughter-in-law, "Where's Baozhu? Call her over and invite the princess to come and play together. It's more lively when the young girls are together; it's not good for them to sit idly with us."

Madam Jia agreed, and soon Momo came in with a little girl of about six or seven years old.

The little girl was fair-skinned and chubby, with delicate features, but a red mole between her eyebrows added a touch of playfulness.

This is Jia Baozhu, the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Jia family, and the main character being entertained as guests today.

Jiayin obediently took her leave and followed Jia Baozhu out of the room, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

The room was filled with chattering women, truly comparable to a hundred ducks. She listened with a smile, but even she felt tired.

Jia Baozhu covered her mouth and laughed, then asked softly, "Princess, were you tired from listening to Mother and the others talk? Haha, that's why we hid in the garden to play early."

She stared with two round, bright eyes, looking just like a lazy little fox in the virtual world, but with a chubby face, making her look adorable no matter how you looked at her.

Jiayin tried her best to hold back, but Zhenxiang reached out and slapped her twice.

“We’re about the same age. I’ll call you Baozhu, and you can call me Jiayin, okay? I brought a lot of delicious food, including some new things that you can’t find on the market. Let’s eat together!” Jiayin subtly tempted the little girl with delicious food.

Sure enough, the little girl's eyes lit up even more. She moved closer to Jiayin and asked, "What delicious food is it? Is it something new? That can't be. My brothers have bought me all the delicious food in the market so many times."

Jiayin chuckled to herself, thinking, "Sure enough, every fat person is a foodie; that rule never fails."

She finally managed to squeeze Baozhu's chubby little hand and laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not lying. Come on, let's go to the garden and eat!"

The two little girls skipped and hopped ahead, both with round, chubby figures and short legs, looking somewhat like twins. Shui Ling, who was following behind, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Years later, whenever Baozhu recalled their first meeting, she always said that Jiayin was the most cunning, using delicious food to lure her into becoming her sister.

Jiayin would always roll her eyes, thinking, "He who eats another's food is obligated to him! Offering your friendship in exchange for the meal is only fair..."

The Jia family's garden wasn't large, but the third wife of the Jia family was fond of romance and beauty, and she personally tended to it almost every year. Therefore, at this time of year, it was still full of flowers and lush vegetation, with a beautiful view.

Five or six young girls were sitting in the pavilion playing chess, and they all looked quiet and gentle.

In fact, none of them were over ten years old, which is a very mischievous age. They had no patience for playing chess.

At this moment, their eyes were fixed on the butterflies and bees fluttering in the garden, and they forgot about the chess pieces on the chessboard.

Seeing that Jia Baozhu had brought new guests, they all became interested and began to greet them.

Jiayin had initially thought that this place was another small-scale underworld, where, like the women in the room, everyone would weigh the Li family carefully.

The result was unexpected; the child's world was less complicated and more innocent.

The girls exchanged names, but they weren't particularly curious or interested in Princess Jiayin. Instead, they complained that it was boring.

Baozhu took out a lot of sachets and led her friends to collect pebbles.

But this is what they're used to doing, so it soon gets even more boring.

Jiayin rolled her eyes and said, "I also know how to collect sachets, but it's more complicated than this. Shall we give it a try?"

As she spoke, she called out to Shui Ling, "Shui Ling, draw a grid room!"

Shui Ling smiled and agreed. She occasionally played this game with her little master at home.

She found a tree branch and casually drew a few lines on the flat ground.

Jiayin took the sachet, stood to the side, and demonstrated it to the little girls.

Hopping on one foot and then on both feet, while bending down to pick up a sachet, requires coordination of hands, feet, and eyes.

Sure enough, the girls became interested and immediately split into two teams of four.

Jiayin and Baozhu were openly disliked because of their less-than-ideal physiques, and each team had to take one of them.

The two teams had a match, and the little girls jumped and skipped around, making quite a scene.

They would occasionally cry out in regret when a sachet went out of bounds.

And because they successfully moved up one space, they cheered with smiles.

The young maids, unable to contain their curiosity, also joined in, clapping and cheering, causing quite a few flower petals to flutter down from one side.

In the front courtyard, Madam Jia was worried and sent someone over to check. After hearing the news, she held Tao Hongying's hand and praised her endlessly.

Tao Hongying is still worried that her daughter is not sociable, after all, she has never had a friend in her life.

Unexpectedly, her visit to the Jia family brought such a pleasant surprise, which made her very happy.

Over here in the garden, the little girl had played a game and her face was flushed with exhaustion.

The maids, fearing that their young masters might have sprained their ankles, urged them to wash their hands and rest for a while.

Remembering the delicious food Jiayin had mentioned, Jia Baozhu smiled and took Jiayin's arm, "Sister Jiayin, let me see what delicious food you brought!"

The other girls were also curious, since Jiayin's suggestion of hopscotch was quite fun.

Jiayin called out to Shuiling, who immediately brought up the food box she had been guarding.

The box had three layers and contained a flower plate, a small straw basket, and four small cakes.

The flower-shaped plate is divided into four petals, each containing a fragrant honey peanut, spicy rice crackers, fish skin beans, and fried shrimp balls.

The small straw basket was filled with fragrant popcorn.

The most eye-catching were the four small cakes, round and chubby, decorated with cute versions of Hello Kitty, Silly Bear, Pleasant Goat and Dalmatian.

The little girls had never seen anything like this before; they all gaped in astonishment and kept exclaiming in surprise.

"What are these? They're so much fun!"

"Sister Jiayin didn't lie to me, my brother has never bought such good pastries before!"

Jiayin satisfied her vanity a little and introduced them to them with a smile.

Each time I introduced something, I offered them a taste.

What little girl doesn't love snacks, especially something so novel and exquisite?

Especially those few slices of cream cake; Yinchai scooped out a piece and put it in her mouth, making almost everyone squint their eyes and their faces full of happiness.

"Mmm, what is this? It's so delicious! It looks like white clouds!"

"No, the clouds in the sky definitely don't taste as good as this!"

"It melts in your mouth. My little brother doesn't have any teeth yet, so he can definitely eat it too."

In no time, the eight girls had devoured the four small cakes. When they finished, they patted their bellies and said they hadn't had enough, but they were too embarrassed to say so.

Jiayin is so understanding; she immediately started the commercial break.

"I had nothing to do, so I took over a pastry shop on the corner of the commercial street. It was originally called Baiweiju. It's going to be renamed, but I don't know what to call it yet."

"But we'll be opening on the eighth day of the lunar new year, and there will be even more delicious food in the shop, including this kind of cake. If you like it, be sure to come and join the fun. I've decorated the second floor beautifully; you can sit comfortably and eat and play at the same time."

The little girls listened with eyes full of admiration. They were all the same age, but while they were kept in check at home, Jiayin was already running her own shop.

Isn't this difference a bit too big?

They were all curious and kept asking questions, making it quite lively.

Madam Jia Er, accompanied by her female guests, came to stroll in the garden. Hearing the commotion, she stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What are you ladies talking about? It's so lively!"

Her voice was a little loud, startling Jiayin and the others. Turning around, they saw their mothers outside the pavilion, and the girls rushed over.

For a moment, only Jia Baozhu remained in the pavilion.

Madam Jia couldn't help but call out again, "Baozhu?"

Jia Baozhu looked up, and everyone gasped in shock!
