The three stones were of different sizes; the bottom one was about the size of Yan Xia's outstretched palm, while the middle one was about the size of a fist.
The top one is smaller than a cow's eyeball.
And they were all covered with a layer of mud.
It looks dark.
"Give them all to Master—" Xiongxiong handed the stones to Yan Xia with both hands.
Yan Xia could even detect a hint of ingratiation in its expression.
"Okay, then I'll thank Xiongxiong. Here, let me put the necklace on Xiongxiong."
Yan Xia put away the stone and took out a cloisonné jeweled pendant waist chain from her spatial storage. The chain was adjustable in size, and the excess part swayed with the pendant without any sense of incongruity. It was very beautiful and was taken from Xu Wenshan's jewelry box.
It fits Xiongxiong perfectly.
And no one will find out that she stole it.
After all, there's no one in the mountains, and even if there were, no one would dare approach a grizzly bear.
Yan Xia had to make the waist chain the largest size before she could barely put it around Xiong Xiong's neck.
Part of the waist chain was digging into the hair.
Are you feeling unwell?
Yan Xia asked him.
"I'm not upset, isn't the bear cute?"
Xiongxiong is incredibly vain.
If I hadn't known it was a male bear...
Yan Xia thought it was a female bear.
Good heavens, could she be a transvestite?
Pah! Pah! Pah! You bear demon!
Yan Xia looked at Xiong Xiong with a questioning gaze.
"Let me show you the bronze mirror."
She took out a bronze mirror from her pocket; it was a handheld model.
Not big.
The bear could barely see.
"Beautiful! You're so kind, Master! I'll return any stones I find to you from now on!"
Bear shook its big head and started eating the meat pie again.
"Xiongxiong, I have to go now. Take your time eating. I'll come see you again in a while." Yan Xia stayed with Xiongxiong for a while before leaving. This time, she didn't let Xiongxiong see her off. She directly flashed into her spatial dimension several times and was down the mountain in less than a minute.
The speed is astonishing.
If anyone were there, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
However, the constant movement was quite mentally taxing, and Yan Xia's face turned pale and she was sweating profusely. When she got home, she drank several glasses of water before she recovered.
The stones were all stored in her space. No one was home, so Yan Xia casually squatted down by the vat to wash them.
It took four or five washes to get the outer layer of mud off.
However, her eyes widened even more; this was no jade or diamond at all.
It's probably a pink gemstone!
Four pink gemstones of varying sizes lay on the ground, gleaming in the sunlight.
What's amazing is that the gemstones were perfectly round without any carving, resembling pink pearls.
The sun was blazing today; the power of the late summer heat should not be underestimated. Yan Xia casually picked up a small one and held it up to the sky.
In an instant, the gemstone displayed a dazzling array of colors.
Her beauty left her speechless.
Under the sunlight, the gem seemed to radiate light on its own, almost blinding her.
"So beautiful, so incredibly beautiful!" Yan Xia exclaimed.
She couldn't describe the color of the gemstone; it was somewhat like a modern mermaid color, but even more beautiful.
Yan Xia then shone the remaining three gems at the sky, and they were all the same color.
Like a family of four, they are all the same except for size.
She admired them for a while before putting away the four gems.
It was already afternoon, and Yan Xia hadn't eaten lunch; her stomach was growling with hunger.
I grew vegetables in the backyard, so I just picked some, stir-fried them, and made a bowl of steamed egg custard to eat.
Soon, the day was over.
The next morning, Yan Xia's carriage was already halfway there. The back of the carriage was loaded with the rose jam she had made. There were still a few roses left on the mountain that hadn't bloomed yet, and Zhao Dali could take them back to town on the way.
The carriage arrived at the pastry shop outside the city. Yan Xia carried the rose jam there, and it would be ready to use in a while. Then she drove back home.
It was lunchtime, and since she wasn't home, the kitchen prepared the meal and had a maid bring it to Yan Hecheng in the courtyard so he could eat inside.
As I passed by the courtyard, Yan Hecheng had just finished eating and was feeding the fish.
Yan Xia greeted everyone and returned to the second courtyard. After washing her hands, Xiao Su and the others brought the food to the table. Today's meal was as plentiful as ever, with a pigeon soup, two stir-fried dishes, two meat dishes, and a large bowl of white rice.
Yan Xia has a large appetite.
The kitchen staff and maids all knew.
Therefore, the meals prepared for one person are all made according to the amount that Yan Xia can finish.
Yan Xia doesn't like wasting food.
She ate all four dishes, one soup, and rice.
The temperature today is the same as yesterday.
It's so hot it's driving me crazy.
When I returned by carriage, I was covered in sweat, and after wearing it all morning, it all went bad.
Yan Xia asked Xiao Su to get her a bucket of hot water so she could take a bath, and she also told Xiao Su to add more flower petals.
Get rid of the sour smell on your body.
Autumn is coming, the flowers are about to wither, and if they are not used soon, they will all be completely dried up.
Xiao Su's thoughts are just as delicate as Bao Dong's and Xiao Ji's.
She and her two maids washed the petals clean, making sure that there were no insects or dirt on each petal.
They even used a mortar and pestle to extract the flower juice and add it to the bath water, making the fragrance even stronger.
It's like pouring out half a bottle of perfume.
In less than half an hour, Yan Xia was already sitting in the bathtub. Xiao Su even cut a plate of fruits and vegetables and placed it next to the tub so that she could enjoy them while soaking in the bath. It couldn't be more enjoyable.
"Um--"
Yan Xia took a bite of watermelon, leaned against the bucket, and pursed her lips in comfort.
The fragrance of flowers and fruits blended together.
It removed the sour smell from her.
The water temperature was also very comfortable, not too hot. Yan Xia was almost asleep when she got up.
She changed into a light gauze dress.
The dryness has completely disappeared.
Yan Xia lay half-reclined on the chaise longue, her long hair cascading down her back. Although she had dried it with a cloth, it was still damp. Yan Xia simply wrapped it in the cloth. Feeling bored, she took out the smallest pink gemstone in her space and played with it. The gemstone felt cool to the touch. Yan Xia read a book while touching it, her mind completely blank.
She didn't even notice her two daughters come in.
"mother--"
"Mom, you're back!"
Yan Xia looked away from the book.
"Yes, Mom is back. Are Changyu and Changyi tired?"
The shop already had enough maids, but the two daughters still went to the shop to help out every day.
Yan Xia couldn't persuade them otherwise, so she simply let them go.
"I'm not tired, not at all. What are you looking at, Mom?"
Chang Yu asked Yan Xia.
Yan Xia simply handed the book to her.
This was a medical book she often read, but although she had finished reading it, she hadn't fully grasped its meaning.
So in her spare time, she would take it out and study it repeatedly.
"Mom, what's that round thing you're holding in your hand?"
Yan Xia was stunned when Chang Yi spoke.
Oh no, she forgot to put this in her storage space. Now what am I going to do?
"Um, um, your mother bought it from a vendor. He said it was some kind of rare gemstone. Your mother was thinking of making it into jewelry for you to wear. What do you think? Do you like it?"
Yan Xia made up a reason on the spot.
