Chapter 178: Winter is too cold, secret recipe of small fragrant pills

Cui Changyou and Cui Jing drank until midnight, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. If they were not worried that Cui Si would not be able to get up the next day after getting drunk, thus delaying her marriage, they could have had a long conversation until dawn.

Cui Si folded a corner of a half-read book and put it in a box.

The cold wind was rustling outside, and the lights in the house were swaying. The white palace lantern was reflected on her profile, making her face look pale and calm.

Song Lu lifted the windproof curtain and walked in from the door, bringing the wind and frost from outside.

She rubbed her hands, then walked forward with a small jar and finally handed it to Cui Si.

"Ma'am, guess what this is?"

Cui Si looked up and saw that her eyes were full of smiles. She shook her head helplessly: "Where did you get those good things again? Have you packed everything you need for the next few days?"

"Don't worry, Madam, the maidservant and Yanzhi have packed everything." Song Lu replied, and they all muttered, "Madam, don't guess, forget it, Madam, look, these are warming pills. Madam has been feeling cold these days, so Mr. Jiang made these warming pills. Take one and you'll feel better."

Cui Si saw her open the small jar with a painting of red plum blossoms in the first snow. Inside were pills as big as her little finger. When she smelled them, she seemed to smell the scent of honey.

There was also a folded piece of paper in the small jar.

Song Lu raised an eyebrow at her and motioned for her to take it out and have a look.

Cui Si took the small jar and placed it on the table beside her. She reached out and took out the paper inside. "I don't know when you became Mr. Jiang's messenger."

Song Lu argued: "What do you mean by Mr. Jiang's messenger? He is a messenger. I am also yours. Yours was happy to read Mr. Jiang's letter and accept his things, so I took them."

Cui Si laughed and said, "Yes, you are the most loyal. You are my messenger."

Song Lu was so proud when he heard this that his tail stood up. When Yan Zhi came in with a basin of warm water, he boasted, "Did you hear that? My wife said that I am the most loyal."

Yanzhi was too lazy to argue with her: "Try it, you are the most loyal, okay."

What a joke! They were Cui Si's personal maids. Not to mention that only by following their master could they have a stable and long-term life, even with the affection they had for each other since childhood, it was impossible for them not to be loyal.

There are only two of us, and we have to decide who is first and who is second. How idle!

"If you have nothing to do, read a few more books and learn a few more words."

"Do you dislike my lack of literacy?"

"I'm telling the truth, why are you disgusted?"

Cui Si had no choice but to listen to the two people arguing. She opened the paper and what caught her eyes were words she was already familiar with.

The winter is too cold, so make some secret fragrant pills.

Cui Si looked at it and burst out laughing.

One can imagine how Jiang Cinian sat at his desk and wrote such a doggerel.

It doesn’t matter whether the poem is good or not. What matters is that she is happy reading it.

"Tell me, this person, is it because he met the right person that he can live a happy life?"

In two lives, especially the last one, she had experienced too much and suffered such betrayal. She actually had no hope or expectation for love between men and women.

Just as she said herself, the high-rise building of love between men and women in her heart has become a pile of broken tiles and ruins.

Now all that is left is to find the right person and live a peaceful and stable life.

But when she was with Jiang Cinian, she always felt that her body and mind were peaceful and stable, and the years were good. Occasionally, a glimpse of him would touch her heart.

Then, whenever she was in a bad mood, she always found peace with him, as if all the dust of this worldly world that had settled on her heart had been wiped away by him, returning her to clarity and tranquility.

So, even after what happened to Baili Boqin, she still wanted to continue with him.

Life cannot be perfect. She only needs to grasp the most important things. The remaining edges and corners will disappear silently like dust shaken off the sleeves as time goes by.

"Of course." Song Lu wasn't very literate, but he had a lot of ideas. "If you meet the wrong person, how can you have a harmonious marriage? You can't have a happy life if you're constantly arguing and quarreling."

"Mr. Jiang is very good. When my wife is unhappy, he always makes her happy."

Cui Si laughed and said, "You are right, your Mr. Jiang is the best."

"My lady, this is yours."

"Okay, okay, it's mine." Cui Si folded the thin piece of paper and put it back into the jar. She pinched a pill, smelled it, and ate it. After a while, she felt her cold hands and feet warming up little by little.

When I lie down to sleep at night, I feel relaxed all over and sleep all night long.

......

"I'll ask you one last time, do you really want to marry Cui Liuniang?" Half of Baili Boqin's face was hidden in the darkness, and the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows became brighter and brighter, with a seductive red.

"I want to marry her." Jiang Cinian said with certainty. He had been hesitant and nervous before, fearing that something bad might happen to Baili Boqin because of him, and fearing that something bad might happen to him that would implicate Cui Si.

But as Cui Si said, she was the daughter of Cui family and the princess of Northern Yan. Who dared to do anything to her? Who had the ability to do anything to her?

He didn't know what would happen in the future, but they would move forward hand in hand and solve problems as they arose.

Besides, his wedding is tomorrow, so it is impossible for him to change his mind and leave at this time.

"Master, don't worry. No matter what happens, Liu Niang and I are not afraid. If we really encounter a problem that we can't solve, I will separate from her then and will never drag her down."

He has made up his mind.

"Well, since you want to, then marry her." Baili Boqin waved his hand and told him to leave. "Go back and rest. You have to go to the wedding tomorrow."

"Then Master, at the wedding ceremony tomorrow..."

"I've already announced to the world that you are not from Medicine King Valley. I won't be able to show up tomorrow, but don't worry, I've had someone prepare your parents' tablets. You can just pay your respects to them when the time comes."

"On the second day after our wedding, he offered me a cup of tea, which was considered as acknowledging me as his elder."

Jiang Chenian nodded in agreement: "Since Master has said so, I will listen to you."

Baili Boqin sighed, "If your father knew that you had met someone to marry and were going to start a family, he would probably be very pleased. I have finally lived up to his trust and raised you to adulthood."

Jiang Cinian was a little curious and asked him, "What kind of person is my father?"

"Him?" Baili Boqin thought for a moment. "He is probably the most benevolent and wise man in the world, humble and open-minded. If he were still alive, perhaps everything in this world would be different..."
