Xia Wan Ning brought two maids and found the courtyard where Jiang Sui lived according to the address she had left last time.
She was relatively low-key, and chose an ordinary carriage for traveling. She knew that Jiang Sui was from an ordinary civilian family, and had just fled to Jeju. It would be bad for her to be too low-key.
This time, besides coming to play with her, I also have other things to remind her of.
It has been six or seven days since I last parted with Jiang Sui. Helian Jing has been busy with the things at hand these days. She has also donated cotton clothes to the refugees out of her own pocket and cannot get away. Now that she has finally finished her work, she opened the window and found it was snowing.
She had been in a state of panic for several days, and when she saw the food served was nothing new, she suddenly remembered that she had just met an interesting beauty a few days ago, and the hot and sour noodles she mentioned aroused her appetite.
One more time, she recalled the last time she talked with Jiang Sui. She and her family fled all the way to Jeju. Now the reconstruction has begun. If the Xiao family does not plan to return to their hometown, they can take their household registration documents and the original old house documents to the government office in Jeju to receive a compensation.
The exact amount of silver would depend on the size of their family and the size of the old house, but it’s estimated to be no less than fifty taels!
These fifty taels might be just the cost of a meal for people like them who came from Kyoto, but for a small family like the Xiao family, it was a lot, so I needed to remind them.
Jiang Sui was also caught off guard by Xia Wanning's sudden visit. When she came, no one in the Xiao family reacted.
Only Xiao Lanlan knew that she and Xiao Hechuan had made new friends outside, not even Xiao's mother.
Guests are welcome. Now that they are here, we should entertain them well first.
Xiao's father and mother knew at first sight that this beautiful fairy-like young lady was definitely not an ordinary lady from a wealthy family. They knew that they were not from the same class as her, so they left the task of entertaining her to Jiang Sui.
It was snowing in the yard, so they couldn't sit outside, so they could only sit in the main room. Jiang Sui knew Xia Wanning's identity, so he felt that his own house was a bit shabby.
But Xia Wan Ning didn't care. She just sat there casually. The maid wanted to wipe the stool first, but she couldn't stop her young lady from being unrestrained.
"Sui Sui, this is your sister-in-law, right? She is indeed a great beauty!"
Xiao Lanlan looked at Xia Wanning's outfit, which exuded exquisiteness from head to toe. Although she could have dressed simply, a pearl flower taken from her head was worth a lot of money.
Not to mention the fox fur cloak she took off when she just came in. When the wind blew gently, the fox fur on it was soft and had beautiful waves. Just imagine how comfortable it would be to put it on your body.
She was not envious, nor was she jealous, she just felt inferior about the gap between herself and others. Would a rich lady like her be willing to be friends with her?
"Miss Xia, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen." Xia Wanning smelled sweet, and from a close distance, she was so beautiful that she didn't seem like an ordinary person.
Xia Wanning was very happy to be praised by the little beauty.
"You are also very beautiful. Even in such a simple appearance, you are so beautiful. If you dress up carefully, there will be few women in Kyoto who can surpass you."
Xia Wanning told the truth, Jiang Sui and Xiao Lanlan were beauties with different temperaments, each with their own merits.
They just lack the embellishment of gorgeous dresses and jewelry.
Xia Wanning did not hide the fact from Jiang Sui. She told him that she was from Kyoto. It was precisely because of the filter of Kyoto that Xiao Lanlan felt inferior and out of reach of her.
"Lanlan, you clearly said that I am the most beautiful girl you have ever seen." Jiang Sui pretended to be jealous to liven up the atmosphere.
This pretentious look made Xia Wanning and Xiao Lanlan laugh at the same time.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you are different from Miss Xia in beauty, but in my heart, you are also the most beautiful." Xiao Lanlan has such a sweet mouth.
Jiang Sui's small act of livening up the atmosphere instantly dispelled the slightly awkward atmosphere and brought the three girls closer together.
Xia Wanning said that she came here specifically to eat the hot and sour noodles.
Jiang Sui knew that she would have to show off her skills today, so she was given hot and sour noodles, mashed potato noodles, and fried dumplings.
Xia Wan Ning was curious about everything. She followed Jiang Sui into the kitchen and worked with him. She found the wood-burning stove interesting, and was interested in the sweet potato noodles she had never seen before. She even learned how to make a fire from Xiao Lanlan. She was dressed in all pink and white, and didn't look arrogant at all, which made her two personal maids very anxious.
Xiao Lanlan taught her how to make fire, and she never got tired of it.
Xiao's mother knew that she couldn't get a word in with them, so she helped to prepare tea. Fortunately, the tea that Mr. Su brought was all good tea, so it wouldn't be shabby for the nobles.
It happened that Zhou was going to Jishan Hall to see Doctor Qin today, so Xiao's mother accompanied her.
The four brothers of the Xiao family were not at home today because of some matters, so they left the space to the three girls. This way, they could have more fun.
While cooking, Xia Wanning told Jiang Sui about the reconstruction compensation, and asked the Xiao family to prepare the necessary documents before the end of the year and go to the government to register and receive the money.
Otherwise, by next year, they will be far away from Baima Town and will definitely not know about the compensation money. Now that the court is under pressure, no one dares to embezzle. Otherwise, if it is too late, they will not be able to get the money.
It was also thanks to her that she came to remind them, otherwise Jiang Sui’s family might never have known about this.
If Xiao's mother knew about this, she would definitely be very happy. It is said that she can get a subsidy of at least fifty taels. She also has to talk to Sister Song about this and ask her to find a way to get the compensation money to relieve the urgent problem.
Half an hour later, hot and sour noodles, mashed potato noodles and fried dumplings were served on the table, and the main room was filled with fragrance.
Xia Wanning was so greedy that she kept swallowing her saliva, not caring at all about her demeanor as a wealthy lady.
After taking a bite of the hot and sour noodles, she seemed to have opened the door to a new world. She was not very fond of spicy food, but the hot and sour noodles were really delicious.
She loved everything on the table.
Finally, she couldn't eat any more, so she touched her round belly and asked Jiang Sui:
"Sui Sui, are you planning to open a shop just to sell this? I'm going back to the capital in a few days. Would you like to consider opening this shop in the capital? That way I can always enjoy this delicacy."
