Chapter 250: Opening Up (Part 1)
Cui Qingci felt warm and touched when she heard Jiang Zhiluo's words.
My sister-in-law is such a nice person.
No wonder the eldest brother, who is such a cold person, cares so much about his sister-in-law. Not to mention the eldest brother, even she couldn't help but think she was good after spending only one day with her sister-in-law.
It's like she has a kind of magic that makes people want to get close to her involuntarily.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Hey, what's the big deal? We're all family, so don't be so polite."
"Just treat this place as your home. As long as we have something to eat, you will have something to eat too."
Cui Qingci's eyes were a little red.
In the Pei family, no one had ever said such words to her.
In fact, what she wants is very simple and she is content, which is to just keep her in your heart.
When she fell in love with Pei Nanchen, she had no ulterior motives. She didn't look at his background or whether he could pass the imperial examination or become an official.
She thought that as long as he treated her well and was devoted to her, she would be content.
She looked at Jiang Zhiluo seriously.
I found that my sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but also calm and generous.
What was she doing when she was fifteen?
She thought about it and realized that she was still dreaming when she was fifteen.
When she was still a young girl in love, she saw Pei Nanchen and saw him being besieged and bullied. She went to help him and even became obsessed with him.
Until now, she still doesn't understand what happened to her.
With her status at the time, her parents could have found her someone much better than Pei Nanchen.
There are many talented and famous noblemen in the capital.
Thinking of this, Cui Qingci quickly shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
All that was in the past, and she wanted to learn more from her sister-in-law.
She found that the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting she had learned were useless and were not life skills.
Cooking and handicrafts are practical things.
Cui Qingci took a croissant and took a bite.
The soft and sweet feeling when you take a bite really hits your taste buds. It has a light sweetness, which is different from the sweetness of pastries. It has a soft and sweet feeling.
It tastes better when it's still hot from the oven.
Cui Qingci was amazed by the food.
She looked at the bread in her hand in amazement, "There are such delicious snacks."
It's just perfect for her taste.
"I think it tastes better than the cakes made in the imperial kitchen."
Cui Qingci used to be the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. When there were banquets in the palace, her mother would sometimes take them to the palace.
At that time, the food on the table was all prepared by the imperial kitchen.
The pastries were very pretty, with floral designs, but they tasted just so-so.
This bread is delicious though.
She now realized that her sister-in-law was too modest when she asked her to give her opinion. "Sister-in-law, I can't give any opinion on such delicious food."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more."
"I'll bake the egg yolk pastry soon, and then we can eat it."
In Jiang Zhiluo's opinion, egg yolk pastry is delicious.
She just wanted to give it to Cui Qingci.
Because Cui Qingci is also very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
She has the temperament of a lady from a noble family and a strong tenacity.
Cui Qingci said embarrassedly: "Well, I ate quite a lot this morning."
"Morning porridge digests quickly, so it's okay."
"You can be at home and eat whatever you want."
Jiang Zhiluo was worried that Cui Qingci was being cautious and uncomfortable.
She doesn't care about so many things and doesn't have so many rules. As long as the family is happy, that's all that matters.
Cui Qingci nodded, "Yeah."
Mrs. Cui was happy to see that her aunt and sister-in-law were getting along well.
She thought Zhiluo was really nice.
Mrs. Cui didn't bother to talk and was making bread quickly with her hands.
Cui Qingci ate two and felt too full to eat anymore.
This bread is so delicious, I want more after eating one.
"Sister-in-law, I'll make some bread first. Are you going to set up the stall later?"
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the town and set up a stall to sell bread before lunch. Business should be good then, and people can buy bread and eat it as a meal."
Cui Qingci couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, can I go to set up a stall with you?"
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned for a moment. Looking at Cui Qingci's now frail appearance, she said with some concern, "Of course I can, but is your body able to handle it?"
"Setting up a stall is different from being at home. A lot of people come around and ask a lot of questions and talk to you. If you can't adapt to it, it will be very uncomfortable."
Cui Qingci shook her head and said, "No, I think it's good to be a little lively."
She was locked up in the yard by the Pei Mansion's people for a while. The environment was extremely quiet at that time, and the silence made her feel uneasy.
When I come here, even when I am working in the yard, I can sometimes hear the cheerful sounds of children running and playing at the door.
Sometimes you can hear the voices of villagers passing by.
She felt it was so lively and there was smoke.
And she can't stand still, she wants to learn some skills.
"I feel stronger now, and it's good to have something to do."
Jiang Zhiluo thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
It would be good for Cui Qingci's recovery if she went out for a walk more often.
Around noon, they made a lot of bread. Jiang Zhiluo loaded the bread onto the ox cart, and then placed a thick straw mat on the cart.
Cui Qingci and Jiang Zhiluo got on the ox cart and drove it to the town.
When Cui Qingci ran here from Nanzhou, she was so focused on getting on with her journey that she had no time to pay attention to the surrounding environment at all.
At this moment, I felt relaxed. I sat on the ox cart and went out, looking at the fields in the distance. When the wind blew, the wheat waves rolled.
Just looking at it makes me feel more cheerful.
The warm wind gently blew the hair around her face, and Cui Qingci felt relaxed all over.
Jiang Zhiluo asked, "Are you used to riding in an ox cart?"
Cui Qingci nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm adapting. It's pretty good here."
Here, people live a simple and happy life.
Her mentality has changed a lot now. She feels that a simple, stable and happy life is good enough.
"I feel it's more comfortable than riding in a carriage. In a carriage, you're blocked on all sides and can hardly see the surrounding environment."
"It's convenient to see the countryside from a bullock cart, and people don't find it strange to ride a bullock cart."
In an environment like the capital, a noble lady from a wealthy family would be laughed to death if she rode in an ox cart.
No one here laughs.
Besides, people here don’t know her and don’t know what she has experienced, so she doesn’t have to be talked about behind her back.
Jiang Zhiluo seemed to be able to guess Cui Qingci's concerns. She said, "Don't worry. Mother, He Jin, and I have discussed this. We will tell everyone the truth about your identity. We will say that you were staying with relatives before. No one will know about the Pei family's affairs."
This is an ancient society, and people's thinking is still relatively old-fashioned, so saying this can avoid some trouble.
Cui Qingci nodded.
They arrived in town just in time for lunch. Jiang Zhiluo saw that there were many boats docked at the pier, so she parked the ox cart there, put down her things, and set up a stall.
As soon as she put everything away and tidied it up, Jiang Zhiluo shouted, "Selling bread, freshly baked bread, sweet bread, everyone come and have a taste."
Jiang Zhiluo suddenly shouted, and Cui Qingci was startled.
She came to her senses, opened her mouth and wanted to shout, but she couldn't say anything, and her face turned red with anxiety.
