Pei Yao gave the money she earned today to Chen Fang, and then she went to check on the lychee wine that had been brewed last time.
Yunniang went over to help prepare dinner.
Fortunately, the lychee wine had already fermented. Pei Yao and Chen Fang were busy filtering the lychee wine and preparing the lychee wine that the ladies would order for tomorrow.
After all, it needs to be delivered to someone tomorrow.
After finishing her work, it was time for dinner. During dinner, Uncle Niu came to see Pei Yao and talked about Pei Yao's original plan to build two houses in the yard.
“I found two master stone builders in the next village. Their requirements are 150 coins per person per day, plus two meals. Yao, what do you think?”
Pei Yao didn't know the market price, but she could accept the price Uncle Niu mentioned.
Uncle Niu then asked Pei Yao when construction could begin.
Pei Yao thought for a moment and replied, "The day after tomorrow, I have some things to do tomorrow."
Uncle Niu nodded: "Alright, I'll tell them and have them come over first thing the day after tomorrow."
After Uncle Niu finished speaking, he praised Pei Yao's jujube cake for being delicious during their casual conversation.
When Pei Yao heard that there were still some left at home, she gave some more to Uncle Niu.
"I can't accept this. You should keep it for your children. I'll have your grandma come over and learn from you so she can make some too, okay?"
Uncle Niu Er thought that the Pei family had so many children, and refused to take any more sour jujube cakes no matter what.
Pei Yao couldn't refuse him, and thought that the sour jujube cake at home was almost finished.
The sour jujube cake is sweet and sour, and the family likes to eat it. Pei Yao originally planned to pick some more sour jujubes in the next few days and make some more.
“Sure, I’ll invite Grandma Niu to join us when my family makes it,” Pei Yao replied with a smile.
Uncle Niu Er looked at Pei Yao and liked this little girl from the bottom of his heart. As expected of a young lady from a wealthy family in the capital, she was skillful and could make so many delicacies that he had never seen before.
Even the sour jujubes that he would never normally look at could be made so delicious!
After seeing Uncle Niu off, Pei Yao glanced at the sky and realized it was getting late.
He then took the notebook he had brought back that day and checked the quantity of lychee wine from each store. After confirming that everything was correct, he washed up and went to bed.
...
The next morning, as soon as it was light, the Pei family courtyard was already bustling with activity as the day began.
Pei Yao's lychee wine was packed and loaded onto the carriage yesterday, ready to depart early this morning.
Pei Yao and Pei Dalang were going to the county, so they didn't wait for the others and drove off in their carriage.
Horse-drawn carriages are faster than oxcarts, Uncle Niu said when he came last night.
He told Pei Yao about a shortcut from Liujia Village to the county, which would save about two hours of travel time, but it would bypass Meilin Town.
However, when Pei Yao and Pei Dalang went out this morning, there was no breakfast prepared at home, so they didn't eat.
So the two of them took the original route, first going to the town, where they ate a bowl of noodles before continuing their journey to the county.
When the two arrived in the county, Pei Yao took out the notebook where she had previously written down addresses and quantities.
Because they weren't familiar with the area, they had to ask passersby for directions almost constantly while they were being dropped off.
Fortunately, the ladies who placed the orders had informed their servants well in advance that someone would deliver the goods today.
So when Pei Yao delivered the lychee wine to each household, the servants immediately sent someone to carry it over when they heard it was lychee wine.
So the medicine was quickly delivered to the last store, which was Miss Zhong, who had ordered the most yesterday.
The Zhong family seemed to have a great reputation, so Pei Yao found it after asking around.
Looking at the Zhong residence, which was even larger than the Su residence yesterday, Pei Yao couldn't help but sigh again.
It's so good to be rich!
This mansion is bigger than half a street in other places.
Pei Dalang guarded the goods in the carriage, while Pei Yao got off the carriage and walked towards the side gate of the Zhong residence. She knocked twice and someone came to open the door.
A young servant opened the door, glanced at Pei Yao, and asked coldly, "Who are you looking for?"
After Pei Yao briefly explained the purpose of her visit, the servant asked her to wait a moment while he went to check with the young lady.
After saying that, he closed the door and left.
Pei Yao stood obediently to the side and waited.
Looking at the Zhong Mansion in front of me, even the main gate was very grand, and there were two fierce stone lions standing on both sides of the gate, which looked very majestic.
Pei Yao looked at the stone lions at the entrance, waiting idly. Soon, the gate of the Zhong residence opened, and a girl in a purple-red dress walked out, arms crossed, looking at Pei Yao with an arrogant expression.
Pei Yao looked over when she heard the commotion and almost rolled her eyes at it.
I cursed inwardly, "What a small world!"
How did I end up running into her here?
"Little beggar, it really is you!" Zhong Wanqing looked at Pei Yao and walked over with a disdainful expression.
She knew yesterday that Pei Yao was coming to deliver goods today, so she specifically instructed the servants at home to notify her in advance when she arrived.
Pei Yao didn't want to pay attention to her. After all, Zhong Wanqing's behavior towards her yesterday was too obvious, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble.
She couldn't afford to offend the young ladies from wealthy families, but she could at least avoid them.
So Pei Yao pretended not to hear and silently turned her face away.
"You filthy beggar, are you deaf when I'm talking to you?" Zhong Wanqing shouted angrily at Pei Yao for ignoring her, acting like a shrew, which immediately attracted the attention of many passersby.
However, when everyone looked up and saw that it was happening at the entrance of the Zhong residence, they only dared to watch from afar and did not dare to go forward.
Pei Yao pretended not to hear and looked up at the sky with her award certificate.
Ignore the idiot, ignore the idiot...
When Zhong Wanqing heard that the other party was still ignoring her, her anger flared up instantly.
Thinking back to how Brother Lin preferred to talk to this stinking beggar rather than talk to her, she became extremely angry.
So what if this stinking beggar is just a little better looking? And has a nicer voice?
In every other way, she's better than me. It must be because she seduced Brother Lin with her vixen-like face that Brother Lin ignores me and talks to her.
Yes! That's it! It must be this vixen seducing Brother Lin!
The thought of Brother Lin smiling at this vixen made Zhong Wanqing furious.
She strode over, lifting her skirt, and tried to rip Pei Yao's clothes: "You filthy beggar, are you deaf...?"
Unexpectedly, Pei Yao seemed to have anticipated that she would come over to pull her, and dodged to the side as Pei Yao reached out to pull her.
Zhong Wanqing had just exerted all her strength to grab Pei Yao when Pei Yao dodged, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.
The crowd watching the commotion from a distance burst into laughter, but since it was the entrance to the Zhong residence, they held back their laughter.
