When she saw that figure, Xu Qinyu knew that her plan with her fourth brother had succeeded, and she heard that the old lady had written a letter to Aunt Gui to release her as a concubine.

Why is it a concubine letter instead of a divorce or divorce? Because Gui Yi Niang was freed from slavery and became a concubine because her mother-in-law became the empress. To put it bluntly, a concubine is just a nice title. Even if you want to divorce, you can't be treated the same as the main wife. You can only write a concubine letter. If Wen was still the empress, the Wen family might be afraid that the empress would give a divorce letter.

In short, a concubine is not considered a real wife, and it is impossible to divorce her even if you report the matter to the authorities. Only by getting a letter of release can you truly part ways.

Seeing Aunt Gui hunched over, Xu Qinyu turned around and called into the house.

"Mom, grandma is back."

When Wen and Ning heard the noise, they both ran out.

Several people helped Aunt Gui into the house. Aunt Gui did take the letter of release from consorthood and twenty taels of silver. Xu Qinyu had never thought that Old Lady Wen would give Aunt Gui twenty taels of silver.

Twenty taels is twenty taels. Although it is a little less, it is silver after all. You can keep it as private money for Aunt Gui.

Needless to say, Mrs. Wen wiped her eyes, went to the kitchen to prepare food and boil water, and planned to wait for Concubine Gui to finish her breakfast before giving her a good wash.

Xu Qinyu also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Pei Weixuan and smiled at him.

Pei Weixuan also looked at Yu Niang, and his heart felt soft.

There was no leftover from breakfast, and Xu Qinyu's meals were basically just enough for the whole family.

Aunt Gui was weak and couldn't eat too much nourishing food. There was fish at home, so she made porridge with rolled fish slices.

While she was cooking porridge, Wen first boiled some hot water and went into the house to help Gui's wife wash up. When she saw the wounds under Gui's wife's armpits that were already festering from applying ointment for a long time, Wen's hands trembled.

How could the ointment be completely harmless?

Aunt Gui touched Wen's cheek and smiled softly, "Don't worry, Yan'er, Aunt is fine. Xuan'er said that he would be well soon without the ointment."

The Wen family has a very nice name, Wen Yan.

Aunt Gui didn't even bring any change of clothes and wore Wen's clothes. Wen herself was a little thin, but her daughter's clothes were a little big for Aunt Gui.

When the two men came out, Aunt Gui felt clean and refreshed, and her hunched back was straighter.

Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "Grandma, I made some raw fish porridge. You can eat it first. It's good for your stomach."

When Aunt Gui sat in the kitchen to eat porridge, it was smooth and thick, and the fish meat was tender without any fishy smell. Aunt Gui was stunned for a moment and couldn't help looking at her grandson's wife.

During the days when her daughter was the empress, she had a good life in the Wen family. She had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and even had the banquets in the palace. However, those banquets could not compare to the cooking of her grandson's wife.

This fish porridge is the most delicious thing she has ever eaten.

Aunt Gui couldn't help but feel lucky that she had left the Wen family, otherwise it would be disastrous if the Wen family knew about her grandson's wife's cooking skills.

Aunt Gui suddenly became worried. "I left the Wen family because I had tuberculosis. After all, Yuniang runs a food business. What if the Wen family knew that Yuniang was doing well and said that I had tuberculosis, and no one dared to buy Yuniang's food anymore?"

Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma. When the medicine wears off, I will make you plump and white with a rosy complexion. You won't look like you have tuberculosis. We are not blind and will be able to tell the difference. Even if the Wen family insists, we will not admit it and say it is a misdiagnosis. As long as you take good care of your health, we will not be afraid of anything."

People with tuberculosis look very thin and have very bad complexion. As long as Gui's health is improved, everyone can see it.

I will never admit to faking illness.

Even if it is, it was a misdiagnosis by the doctor.

I feel a little sorry for those two old doctors.

Aunt Gui was also kidnapped by kidnappers and then sold to a pawnbroker. She was bought by the Cheng family, the parents' family of Old Lady Wen, to be a maid for Old Lady Wen, and grew up with Mrs. Cheng. When she was bought by the Cheng family, she had been kidnapped for several years. She was beaten and scolded by the kidnappers all day long and had almost forgotten her own name. After she was bought by the Cheng family, Mrs. Cheng named her Guihua.

Now that she had left the Wen family, she was no longer the Wen family's concubine or aunt.

She is Gui.

After Gui finished her fish porridge, she wanted to help with the work, but Wen persuaded her to take a rest.

She had not been eating or sleeping well these days, and her body was exhausted. Gui was also aware of her own physical condition and knew that only by taking good care of her body could she not bring trouble to her children and grandchildren, so she went back to the west room to rest.

The west room was the largest, so Gui, Wen and Yan lived in it.

Before Gui went to rest, Xu Qinyu formally introduced the other two members of the family to her.

White jade and black jade.

Bai Yu disappeared. Since the weather gradually became warmer after the New Year, the little white snake no longer needed to hibernate and was awake every day. From time to time, it would come to Xu Qinyu to ask for fish fillets to eat, and at other times it would find a place to eat.

At this moment, we can no longer call it a little white snake, as it looks to be as thick as three fingers.

When she first came home, Bai Yu was only as thick as a finger, small and delicate.

Xu Qinyu also discussed with Pei Weixuan when to send Baiyu back to the mountains. In fact, after raising it for more than three months, she was a little reluctant to let it go. But if she thought about it really growing into a giant python in the future, she would be a little scared, but more of it was the fear of scaring other people.

Fourth brother said that he would send Bai Yu back to the mountains in the next two days.

As for Moyu, there is no change, except that he has grown a lot bigger, about ten pounds now, and has been taken care of by Xu Qinyu to be shiny and plump. He likes to stick to Xu Qinyu the most. Basically, when Xu Qinyu is at home, Moyu follows him wherever he goes. At other times, he is still very naughty and likes to play with Baiyu. He even wants to run around with Baiyu in his mouth like when he was a child.

But Baiyu has grown a lot and is awake, so how could he let it hold her in its mouth?

It is often seen that Bai Yu is entangled with Mo Yu, and the two are rolling on the ground.

Sometimes Xu Qinyu even felt that Baiyu's scales were a little flaky.

It's probably the fluffy hair of a furry animal.

Gui smiled and said, "I know everything."

She saw the little black panther when she came back.

As for the White Snake, she was not surprised at all. Her grandson Xuan liked to keep all kinds of strange pets when he was in the palace.

Baiyu was probably afraid of Moyu, and no one knew where she was hiding at the moment. She was not in the yard.

Gui stayed at Pei's house.

In the next few days, Xu Qinyu was busy at home except for making fish salt and pork intestines. She had a lot of free time, so she spent the rest of the time thinking about what food to cook for Gui to nourish her body.

Pei Weixuan also checked Gui's pulse and found out that she was just in poor health but had no other serious illness. She would be well in a month or two with good care.

Even though the ointment had just worn off, Aunt Gui still had a cough these past few days, but not as severe as she had at the Wen family.

In addition to fish porridge, she would also stew steamed meat in soda for Aunt Gui every day, and the two children in the family could also eat it.

Xu Qinyu also specifically asked Uncle He if he could buy cow's milk or goat's milk from the villagers.

Goat milk and cow milk are the most nourishing.

There weren't many people raising cows and sheep in the town, so goat's milk and cow's milk were hard to find, so we asked Uncle He to help keep an eye out in the village.

Two days later, Uncle He really found the milk. He must have gone to other villages to look for it.

When Xu Qinyu asked, she found out that they had indeed found it in the village next door to Uncle He. The buffalo in the family had given birth to a calf, and the calf had too much milk to drink. Buffalo milk is also very nutritious, but it tastes a bit fishy. Apart from the calf, the family didn't drink much of it. Knowing that the milk could be sold, they were naturally very happy.

Ten cents for a bucket, which weighs about 11 or 12 pounds.

It is freshly squeezed every day and then delivered to Guihua Lane by Uncle He when he delivers fish, packed in a small wooden barrel with a lid.

With this bucket of milk, Xu Qinyu was happy and immediately made caramel milk tea for everyone.

It's just that the tea leaves are not good enough, otherwise the milk tea could taste better.

She didn't add too much sugar when frying the tea leaves, so it was just slightly sweet, but the taste was very mellow and full of milk flavor.

Gui could drink some, but after all, she was given tea, so she couldn't drink too much. Xu Qinyu simply used some ginger and almonds to boil fresh buffalo milk for Gui to drink. It tasted very mellow and had no milky smell.

Xu Qinyu drank a big bowl of milk tea with satisfaction. Even the fourth brother seemed to like caramel milk tea very much. He drank two sips and looked at Yu Niang after finishing it, probably feeling a little embarrassed.

Xu Qinyu used the ten kilograms of buffalo milk delivered on the first day to boil pure milk for Gui, and made caramel milk tea with the rest. She also sent some to Xia's sister-in-law, and everyone in the Xia family got a bowl.

Even Zhuzi and Xiaocui were there, and the whole family was drinking a bowl of hot milk tea, feeling so comfortable and relaxed.

Xiao Cui couldn't help but sigh: "It must be very happy to be a family with Miss Xu."

Miss Xu can even cook milk that some people don't like to drink and make it taste so sweet and delicious.

Mrs. Wu chuckled. That's right. It was a great honor for the young man from the Pei family to marry Miss Xu.

On this day, a sweet and fragrant smell could be smelled all over Guixiang Lane.

A few days later, Xu Qinyu used the buffalo milk delivered to her to make caramel milk tea again. She also made double-skin milk, egg cake with milk, ginger milk, milk stewed eggs, milk cake, milk steamed buns, and custard buns.

Feng Ge'er and Yan Jie'er were so happy eating.

The custard buns are a simple version, without butter. They are steamed with eggs, flour, sugar, milk and oil. They have to be stirred three times during steaming to form the custard filling.

In fact, she could also make butter, which is the separated part when whipping cream. Without a whisk, it would be extremely labor-intensive, so she naturally gave up.

Needless to say, the custard buns tasted very good, full of milky flavor and with a runny interior.

There is too little milk, only enough for our family. If we want to make milk steamed buns and custard buns to sell, we need a lot of milk, but the supply cannot meet the demand, so we have no idea of ​​doing this for the time being.

However, ten kilograms of milk can also make a lot of milk steamed buns and custard buns.

There was enough food for their own family, and the excess was sold to the Xia family and Xu Kongmu's family.

A steamed bun with milk is two cents each, and a steamed bun with milk and custard is three cents each.

The milk steamed bun is quite big, while the custard bun is very small, about the size of a fist, but both the Xia family and the Xu family prefer to buy the custard bun.

Xu Yunlan from Xu Kongmu's family likes custard buns more. She never knew that sweet buns could be made like this.

Xu Yunlan asked her father to bring back some more custard buns after leaving the government office that night.

As she ate the custard buns, she felt both happy and conflicted. She wanted her best friend to have a taste of the delicious custard buns, but she was also afraid that her best friend would lose control of his appetite after knowing about it.

But she really didn't dare. Last time when she entertained the county magistrate, the county magistrate told her before he left not to tell Zhizhi. There was a very skilled chef in Yuanbao Town, and he was afraid that Zhizhi would be greedy.

Zhizhi is the daughter of the county magistrate and also her best friend. The two have known each other for many years and have played together since childhood.

Zhizhi is too fat, and it has some impact on her health.

Even she could eat several custard buns in one breath and still feel unsatisfied, so how could Zhizhi resist?

Xu Yunlan was just thinking about it when the little maid at home called out in the yard, "Miss, Miss Zhizhi is here to look for you."

Xu Yunlan was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly stuffed the custard bun in her hand into her mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, almost choking. She had no time to hide the last custard bun on the plate, so she stuffed it into the small cabinet next to her along with the plate.

She had just put her things away when a fat girl wearing a grass-green, flower-embroidered, double-breasted thin jacket and a crescent-colored long skirt embroidered with plum blossoms came bounding in.

This girl was indeed a little overweight, with two prominent chins and a body size almost twice that of Xu Yunlan, but she was very fair-skinned, with big, watery eyes, willow-shaped eyebrows, and rosy lips. She was a lovely fat girl.

As soon as the fat girl entered the room, she smelled a sweet and fragrant smell. She grabbed her best friend and asked, "Yunlan, what did you eat?"
