Chapter 297 Am I Still Your Cousin?



However, she really couldn't afford to make so much soup. Otherwise, she wouldn't have delayed giving tonic food to her family.

After discussing with Ling Jiheng, they decided to secretly mix some spiritual spring water into the water tank in the main kitchen, and then ask Doctor Cheng to get some health-enhancing medicine packets to boil it.

In this way, you can subtly change the physical fitness of your family members while avoiding being discovered.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chi Xingyue got up, washed, and then went to Rongsiyuan for dinner.

During this time, he found an opportunity to go to the big kitchen and put two liters of spiritual spring water into the already full water tank. He was almost scared pale by Aunt Taohua who came back.

"Hey, Second Young Madam, what are you doing?"

Before Chi Xingyue could say anything, Ling Jiheng scooped up a ladle of cold water and poured it into the basin on the ground.

"I got my hands dirty while eating just now. Xingyue and I are coming over to wash them!"

Aunt Taohua quickly picked up the teapot and poured hot water into the basin, saying, "If you need to wash your hands, just call Xiaohe. You can come and do it yourself."

What if I get burned? "

Chi Xingyue smiled and said, "I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just thought I could just wash it myself and there was no need to bother Xiaohe."

Aunt Taohua disapproved: "You are the master, how can you use the word 'trouble'? We have so many servants, isn't it just to make ourselves comfortable?"

Chi Xingyue washed her hands and took the towel handed to her by Aunt Taohua to dry them. "That being said, they are also very hard-working. I will do what I can do myself. There is no need to rely on them for everything."

Aunt Taohua was stunned, and then she thought of Chi Xingyue's background and sighed, "You are just too kind!"

Chi Xingyue didn't say much. After saying something to Aunt Taohua, she went back to the house with Ling Jiheng.

She asked, “Did I do something wrong?”

Ling Jiheng shook his head: "No, but she certainly doesn't look like a lady from the Great Yong Dynasty."

Those people, who have never touched a single finger in a life of luxury, are the more wealthy they are, the more pretentious they become, fearing that others will look down on them.

Chi Xingyue chuckled: "I'm not one of those people!"

To others, this might sound like she was saying she came from a poor background, but Ling Jiheng knew her point was that she didn't belong to the Great Yong Dynasty!

The two did not continue talking about this topic. Seeing that it was still early, Chi Xingyue took Ling Jiheng into the space to farm.

During this period, the two of them cleared about ten acres of land, and there were more than ninety acres waiting for them to cultivate.

Ling Jiheng took off his cotton-padded jacket and set to work, swinging his hoe with vigorous force.

Chi Xingyue seemed to be able to see his tense muscles and the blue veins on his hands.

After picking up some unsprouted corn kernels for a while, he was driven away by Ling Jiheng.

She said she was in the way and he had to pay attention to her from time to time, fearing that she would hurt herself.

Chi Xingyue was relaxed, waved his hands and went back to the small building.

Cut up some fruit platters and make some desserts. Anyway, Ling Jiheng likes to eat, so she will try her best to satisfy him.

After working in the space for two hours, it’s time to go out again.

Perhaps because he had expended too much energy, the little bit of food Chi Xingyue gave him didn't take up much space at all, and Ling Jiheng finished a full bowl of rice at noon.

Ling Jihao, who woke up late, looked surprised and asked, "What's wrong with Second Brother? Don't you usually only eat until you're 70% full?"

Ling Jiren joked, "Maybe I got up too early and was active for so long, I'm hungry."

Ling Jihao looked bewildered. After everyone had explained to him one after another, he stood up angrily: "Why don't you call me? Am I still your cousin?"

He thought that the four brothers' fight against the Northern Liao people that night had already established a special bond. Who knew...

Ling Jiheng hurriedly comforted him: "Isn't it because you are young and still growing, so I let you sleep a little longer.

If you want, you can practice with the eldest brother and the third brother!"

Ling Jihao quickly said, "I do. Of course I do. I felt guilty for not being able to help my second brother that night."

As for why he didn’t take the initiative to ask to learn Kung Fu from the other party?

First, I really didn't know Ling Jiheng was so powerful. I thought he was just braver, stronger, and more responsible.

Second, in the Great Yong Dynasty, both the craftsmanship of the craftsmen and the martial arts of the soldiers were kept secret.

If they were not particularly close, or if Yi Li promised him something, he really wouldn't have the confidence to let Ling Yi and the others teach him kung fu.

He was afraid that his greed would ruin the friendly relationship he had worked so hard to establish with Ling Jiheng.

What happened today finally helped me to resolve the knot in my heart.

The young man was cheerful and silly. He ate two bowls of rice without realizing it before he felt full.

Chi Xingyue gave him two hawthorns that grew in the space and asked him to chew and swallow them.

Ling Jihao said with gratitude: "Thank you, sister-in-law. These hawthorns are big and sweet, and they are especially delicious."

Chi Xingyue raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, you have good taste.

After letting him walk around in the yard for a while, he went back to the house with Ling Jiheng.

Chi Xingyue did not enter the space again in the afternoon. He was fully armed and went to see how the Ganoderma lucidum was growing.

It has been more than three months since the seeds were planted.

From tiny spores, barely visible to the naked eye, the Ganoderma lucidum sprouted tiny umbrellas. Though still small, they already possessed the beauty of a magical herb.

Every time Baozhu goes out, she marvels at the beauty of the Ganoderma lucidum she raises.

Chi Xingyue found it funny and agreed to keep the big one and give it to her as a dowry after it turned into wood.

Baozhu was moved to tears after hearing this, and said how worthy she was to be so highly regarded by her master. She promised to do her best to take good care of the second house in the future.

Chi Xingyue shook his head, shaking off the thoughts in his mind.

Open the skylight to let the Ganoderma lucidum slices ventilate and get some sunlight, and put your fingers on the flower bed to water them with the spiritual spring water.

Well, they are all diluted with ordinary well water, otherwise they might grow too fast and become suspicious.

After finishing everything, she left and cleaned herself. Shu Muyun called her into the room and said that the horse-faced skirt was ready and asked her to try it on.

The horse-faced skirt is not a cheongsam and can be worn outside. Ling Weicheng tactfully went to find the old lady, while Chi Xingyue changed her clothes behind the screen.

Shu Muyun was helping out from the side, looking at the exposed collarbone and wrist with envy on his face.

"It's great to be young. Look at this face, so delicate and tender." The most important thing is that she has a good figure, and her son likes it.

Chi Xingyue felt a little embarrassed and put the skirt on the chair on her body and tied it up.

"Mom is also very young, more mature and charming than me. This skirt will look even better on you."

Shu Muyun glared at Chi Xingyue, put on a faint smile, and helped her straighten her clothes.

Very satisfied with his craftsmanship, he even asked Chi Xingyue to spin around: "Beautiful!"

As he said this, he wrapped the cloak around Chi Xingyue and wanted to take her to show off to the old lady.

Chi Xingyue also cooperated and ran to Rongsiyuan in the temperature of more than 30 degrees below zero.

After only a distance of a hundred meters, she was so cold that she was shivering all over.

The old lady saw that her face was a little pale, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Chi Xingyue shook her head and sat down next to the stove. By the time Shu Muyun came over, she had almost recovered.
