She didn't really want to drink it.
But faced with Yi Jiu's heavily painted face, it was difficult to refuse.
Such a beautiful woman, all because of this bowl of ginger soup, she's turned into a dark-skinned beauty.
She should be more considerate of women.
He then reached out and took it.
The temperature of the bowl was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
After calculating the time the person left, Xiao Qingyin thought to herself that the soup had been specially cooled down with cold water.
She's put in so much effort, she should at least have a drink.
After peeling back the ginger slices, she scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it in her mouth.
It has to be said.
Yi Jiu is a guy with something going for him.
Most people couldn't cook a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup that was both extremely sweet and extremely spicy.
Anyone selling ginger candy should learn from him.
"How about it?"
When Yi Shuihan saw her expression freeze, he felt slightly uneasy.
Brown sugar ginger soup, as the name suggests, is made with only brown sugar and ginger slices, without any oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, or anything else.
Xiao Qingyin gave a thumbs up.
He exclaimed, "Absolutely amazing!"
Then put the bowl down.
"Thank you, I'll drink it after I soak my feet. You can go back now."
"Okay, then you should go to sleep early."
Yi Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief and flew back to the Marquis's residence with light steps.
They landed at the kitchen doorway, ready to clean up the mess.
I spotted a familiar figure inside.
I was just about to say that he had made extra brown sugar ginger soup and didn't need to make any more.
Then I heard his father yell, "Who ruined the brown sugar and ginger I carefully selected! Even a pig wouldn't drink it like this!"
Yi Shuihan: "..."
When did our pigs become such picky eaters?
Just as his father was about to pour all the brown sugar ginger soup in the pot into the slop bucket, he quickly stepped forward to grab the pot.
"Dad, this is what I cooked, but I haven't had any yet."
Marquis Yong'an: "???"
"What did you say? Say it again."
"This is my brown sugar ginger soup."
"!!!"
Marquis Yong'an was dumbfounded.
Last night, he had this unfilial son examine the physician to see if there was something wrong with his health, which was why he was completely uninterested in women and knew nothing about matters concerning young women.
It's not that men also have their periods!
Has he lost his mind?
Yi Shuihan scooped up a bowl of ginger soup, picked it up, and drank it.
It sprayed out as soon as it entered my mouth.
What is this thing?!
There's no way there's anything in the world that tastes this bad.
Xiao Qingyin was able to drink it without changing her expression.
They praised it highly.
Could it be that her taste buds are different from ordinary people?
Xiao Qingyin: Listen to me, thank you. Because of you, I rinsed my mouth four times.
He sighed.
He humbly asked, "Dad, how exactly do you make this brown sugar ginger soup?"
Marquis Yong'an stared at him intently.
Are you cooking for yourself or for someone else?
Yi Shuihan was about to say something about someone else, but then he remembered that the old man was very wicked and would definitely make things up in front of his mother.
She then changed her tune, saying, "It's for the pigs. The weather's getting colder, and I'm worried my mother's pigs might catch a cold."
Marquis Yong'an: "..."
Should he take advantage of the fact that he and Ning'er are still young and have another child?
That idiot son will be a disgrace to them sooner or later.
...
The next day, Yun Wanyin also came for a follow-up visit early in the morning.
Xiao Qingyin could tell that she wanted to spend more time with her mother and daughter.
So he didn't go out and focused on chatting with her.
Yun Wanyin asked her a lot about her childhood, such as how she lived with her wet nurse in the countryside, whether she was bullied, and who she learned medicine from.
Xiao Qingyin tried to choose the positive parts to say.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanyin's eyes still welled up with tears.
"If only Mother hadn't lost her memory."
That way, she can accompany her as she grows up and witness every moment of her growth.
When she feels wronged, sad, or scared, hold her in your arms and tell her, "Don't be afraid, Mom is here."
"Then you'll miss out on such a good man as Uncle Fu."
Xiao Qingyin smiled.
"People should move forward, not look back."
Yun Wanyin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled, "You're right, I'm bewitched. People should move forward, not look back."
She should start treating her daughter even better from now on.
After examining her daughter for a moment, Yun Wanyin noticed that her attire was very simple and plain.
Her long hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, with only two pearl flowers pinned to her hair bun.
Her earlobes were bare; she wasn't wearing any earrings.
There was only a red string around her neck, and it was unclear what was hanging from it.
Both wrists were empty.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Then he asked Xiao Qingyin, "Could you accompany Mother to the Treasure Pavilion?"
"sure."
Xiao Qingyin followed Yun Shi to the Treasure Shop, only to find out that she had come to buy jewelry for herself.
Which bracelet do you like?
"This headpiece is nice, which color do you like?"
“These jade pendants are quite beautiful; you can wear them in rotation.”
"..."
It seems they're poised to buy up the entire Zhenbaozhai.
Xiao Qingyin was both amused and exasperated.
“Mother, I don’t like wearing jewelry. Really, these things are too cumbersome and interfere with my healing and saving lives.”
"Even if you don't wear it normally, you should wear it on formal occasions."
Yun Wanyin wouldn't allow her to refuse.
"Mom used to envy other people who had daughters to dress up. Now that I have a daughter myself, you have to let me make up for it in some way."
All right.
Let's just consider it a way to entertain our parents.
Xiao Qingyin began to carefully select.
The shopkeeper naturally had to personally serve such a wealthy and generous customer.
