The side hall of Green Willow Manor was not far from the manor gate. When the two arrived, the two elders of Xuanming were already sitting steadily on both sides of a large pile of medicinal herbs, waiting for them.
Following that, Hua Cai bowed respectfully and looked up at the two people above.
Looking at Hua Cai's face, which seemed even uglier than yesterday, Lu Zhangke's gaze cooled even further: "Did you buy all these medicines?"
Well, this guy is starting to recklessly unleash his murderous aura again.
"Yes." Hua Cai quickly replied, "I vaguely remember that the recipe mentioned 'fragrant herbs,' but I don't remember exactly which herbs it was, so I bought a little of everything to mix."
“I see.” Lu Zhangke responded coldly, his gaze dark. “I wonder what kind of formula it is. Bring it up for me to see.”
cunning and treacherous.
Hua Cai thought to herself, but her face remained fearful: "My family has been running a winery for generations. When I was young, my father accidentally found the wine recipe. Before he could study it, our family suffered a great disaster. I only heard my father mention it a few times and remembered the general idea."
What, am I making this up? Even Wenxiang herself can't remember what her family does. If you're so capable, go and check. If you do, I'll thank you on Wenxiang's behalf.
“Oh dear, senior brother, we’ve already carefully checked that there’s no poison in it. What threat could a bunch of tonics pose? Why bother with the brewing recipe?” The pig teammate, Hebi Weng, was clearly very dissatisfied with his senior brother taking up the brewer’s precious time. Before Lu Zhangke could ask any more questions, he impatiently interrupted.
Lu Zhangke slowly shifted his gaze from Hua Cai to He Biweng.
Hua Cai lowered her head even further.
This Crane Pen Elder was Lu Zhangke's close junior brother. If he were just an ordinary friend, given Lu Zhangke's bad temper, he might have killed him to silence him at any time.
They're not enemies, but they're infuriating. I've never seen anyone so slow and dragging things down.
Given Hebi Weng's dullness, he obviously couldn't have thought of such a deep issue. He didn't sense anything amiss in Lu Zhangke's gaze on him. Seeing that he stopped talking, he hurriedly waved his hand at Ying: "Have someone move these things downstairs. Keep a close eye on this little girl. Make sure she brews the wine properly and doesn't slack off. If you don't see the wine I need within a month, you can forget about having these hands."
Hua Cai almost couldn't resist throwing a punch as her fingertips twitched.
Why don't you just fly to the heavens? I'll offer you fine wine every month. Your wine seems to fall from the sky; you can have it as soon as you breathe.
Hold on, hold on.
Hua Cai kept reminding herself that she couldn't stay here for more than a month.
He must indeed be a very individualistic and principled servant. Even when facing the Xuanming Elders, who were feared throughout the entire Green Willow Manor, he simply uttered an "Mm" and then slipped away with Hua Cai.
Very good, very unique.
Hua Cai really wanted to pat the person on the shoulder to show encouragement, but after thinking for a while, she felt that raising her hand higher than her head would not be very impressive, so she had to give up.
In the evening, the guest rooms, which had been completely converted into warehouses, were being eaten by Hua Cai, who was chatting idly with the servants who had been sent to help her organize her things.
After sincerely explaining that he was not a distinguished guest, but merely a poor winemaker, Hua Cai, who had been living among mortals for over two hundred years, instantly became one of the servants.
"What did you say? Which bald guy?" Hua Cai gulped down two mouthfuls of porridge and asked the people in front of her curiously.
"It's a monk surnamed Cheng." A boy with a cheerful appearance and small, rabbit-toothed teeth spoke up, then shuddered and grimaced at the mention of the man: "Everyone says monks are compassionate, but this monk is a butcher! Just because one of his men accidentally bumped into him, he killed all three of them who were with him. It's utterly despicable—wooo—wooo—"
"You don't want to live anymore." Seeing that Little Rabbit Teeth was getting more and more agitated, the other person quickly reached out and covered his mouth: "Walls have ears. Be careful with your dog's life. If he finds out, we and Miss Xiao Xiang will die together."
Little Rabbit Tooth was startled and quickly covered his mouth with both hands, looking around in panic.
After this incident, the atmosphere instantly turned cold. The servants nervously sorted through their things, and no one spoke again.
Hua Cai's gaze swept over the group of people before she lowered her eyes and stared at the porridge in her bowl.
In the story, Zhao Min was supposed to meet Cheng Kun after arriving at Green Willow Manor, but she didn't expect the monk to have arrived so early.
No wonder the Xuanming Elders, who are always inseparable from Zhao Min, arrived in Ganliang ahead of time without anyone noticing; they've come to pave the way.
Hua Cai's gaze turned cold.
Both of them are wicked inside and out. For the female lead to let these two go first, isn't she a bit too naive?
With less time spent chatting, Little Rabbit Teeth and the others worked much faster, and before long, they left with the empty plates Hua Cai had left behind.
Hua Cai stared blankly at the flickering candlelight in the room, then suddenly got up and walked to a pile of neatly stacked medicinal herbs, picking and choosing among them.
Seeing that Hua Cai's expression was not very good, the system just watched from the side and did not dare to disturb her.
After a while, Hua Cai stood with her hands on her hips at the door, looked at the pile of herbs that had been separated, wiped the sweat from her forehead, strode to the door and pulled it open.
Sure enough, he was dutifully standing straight outside the door. When he heard the door open, he turned his gaze to her.
"Hi." Seeing that it was the God of Wealth, Hua Cai forced a terrible smile and greeted him, but her face quickly fell again: "Could you please ask a few people to take that pile of medicinal herbs over and stew them for me? The more concentrated the better. Have someone keep an eye on them and make sure they don't cut corners."
The elite of the guards, being a man of action, didn't ask any questions about what Hua Cai had told him and quickly relayed the instructions.
Looking at that expressionless face, Hua Cai raised her hand and waved stiffly: "Ahem, well, I'm going in."
Without waiting for his reply, she pulled her foot back into the room and slammed the door shut.
"Boss, that guy must be pretty strong." The system gossiped, trying to get Hua Cai's attention.
"Oh, what's so special about it?" Hua Cai flipped her hand, tossing the ball of light aside, and continued fiddling with the remaining medicinal herbs: "Can you kill the Xuanming Elders with a single palm strike, and then knock Zhao Qiang unconscious and hand him over to me?"
The system failed.
Host, your joke is not friendly at all.
"Boss, how come you're so familiar with all this stuff?" The system relentlessly tried to make its presence known.
Hua Cai waved her hand again, swatting away the ball of light that had blinded her: "Heh, I've been wandering the mortal realm for over two hundred years, what haven't I seen? If you keep making a fuss in front of me, believe me, I'll turn you into parts in a minute."
*Sizzle*
Just as the ball of light stubbornly got up and was about to charge forward again, it came to an abrupt stop and froze in mid-air.
I'm so miserable, really.
The system gazed at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, its eyes filled with melancholy.
