She deftly picked up the ointment from the side and gently applied it to his face.
Every touch brought Zhao Yunjin a wave of warmth, as if her gentleness could soothe the pain in his heart.
As Yun Zhizhi gently applied the ointment, she blew on the scar as if it had just been cut and was still painful.
Zhao Yunjin was touched by her gesture and couldn't help but shudder.
I felt my heart pound uncontrollably a few times.
After a cup of tea.
Yun Zhizhi closed the bottle cap. "It's done. Remember to apply it again before going to bed tonight. The scar must not come into contact with water, and avoid spicy food during this period."
Zhao Yunjin smiled knowingly, "I understand."
Then, the two chatted for a while, and the conversation gradually became more relaxed.
Before Yun Zhizhi left, Zhao Yunjin looked directly at her with piercing eyes and an extremely serious tone: "When the scar is completely removed and I no longer need to wear a mask to see people, I want to see you first."
His deep eyes and his suggestive words made her blush and her heart race.
"Alright. Then I'll wait and see the Sixth Prince's handsome face."
No sooner had Yun Zhizhi left than Master Xuanzhen and Qi Yize ran into the back garden.
"My disciple, where is Zhizhi?"
Master Xuanzhen asked questions while looking around.
Qi Yize chimed in, "Yeah! Where did Yun Zhizhi go?"
He still wants to buy lipstick from her.
Zhao Yunjin replied softly, "I'm going back."
Master Xuanzhen sighed, "We're going back so soon, why didn't you come to see this old monk? Oh! Isn't this osmanthus-flavored glutinous rice lotus root and braised lotus root? Zhizhi is so thoughtful, remembering that these are the two dishes I love the most."
After saying that, he immediately took a big bite of a piece of osmanthus-flavored glutinous rice lotus root, and exclaimed, "Mmm~ that's the taste! Zhizhi's cooking skills are truly unmatched!"
Upon hearing that Yun Zhizhi had returned, Qi Yize quickly asked, "Yun Jin, did you ask her if she still has lipsticks for sale there?"
"I forgot."
"You really forgot?"
"Um."
Qi Yize had a throbbing headache.
How will he explain this to his mother when he gets back?
Zhao Yunjin was in a good mood, but seeing his friend looking dejected, he decided to help him out. "I'll send someone to the Yun residence later to ask her."
Qi Yize grinned, "That's right."
Then, he quickly picked up a piece of braised lotus root and put it in his mouth to chew. "Is this a dish made with lotus root? The taste is amazing. It's crisp, flavorful, and has a sweet and spicy kick."
"I heard that someone from Yizhou Prefecture bought some lotus roots from Yun Zhizhi's stall and then transported them to the capital to sell at a high price. It is said that they sell for 100 coins per catty, and many people are scrambling to buy them but they may not be able to buy them."
Seeing that the two of them were about to finish the lotus root dishes that Yun Zhizhi had brought, Zhao Yunjin stopped them in time, saying, "You two have eaten enough. The rest is for me."
Qi Yize pouted and muttered, "Do you still have any fresh lotus roots here? I won't compete with you for the food. Give me some lotus roots to take back, and I'll have the chefs in the manor make them according to the recipe."
Nowadays, many people in Beijing have already collected all of the dozen or so lotus root recipes published by Yun Zhizhi.
Unfortunately, we have the recipe, but we're missing the most important ingredient!
Upon hearing Qi Yize ask for lotus roots, Master Xuanzhen loudly refused: "There aren't any left. The lotus roots I brought back yesterday were all eaten by Zhao Yi and those six gluttons."
Zhao San, one of the "good-for-nothings," was convinced of nothing but Master Xuanzhen at this moment!
There are about eight catties of lotus root left in Mingming's mansion.
Master Xuanzhen is blatantly lying and trying to shift the blame onto his six guards.
But he dared not say so, since they had also tasted dishes made with lotus root yesterday.
He understands the principle that "he who eats another's food is bound to him."
Master Xuanzhen sensed that his disciple was in a good mood and asked curiously, "What brings Zhizhi here to see you?"
If he had been there, he probably could have helped his apprentice.
"You will know in ten days."
Zhao Yunjin smiled mysteriously, got up, and started walking towards the study.
Master Xuanzhen and Qi Yize were left staring at each other in the back garden.
Master Xuanzhen muttered under his breath, "Making it all so mysterious."
Liu Xuanyi had been waiting at the Yun residence for a quarter of an hour. Upon seeing Yun Zhizhi return, she immediately stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Zhizhi, you're finally back."
Yun Zhizhi said with delight, "Xuanyi, it's been so long! I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
Liu Xuanyi waved her hand, "It's nothing. The academy is on holiday these days, so I have plenty of time. Besides, I mainly came here today to chat with you."
Once Yun Zhizhi sat down, Liu Xuanyi took her hand and asked curiously, "Tell me about the interesting things that happened when you were selling lotus roots at your stall in Yizhou Prefecture."
Seeing that she was quite interested, Yun Zhizhi had no choice but to patiently tell her the story.
Half an hour later.
Liu Xuanyi said angrily, "You did the right thing. Those six thieves who stole lotus roots should be punished by doing voluntary work for several months."
Then she asked, "Have you decided where to set up your stall next time?"
Yun Zhizhi shook her head.
"Now a lot of people outside are asking where you'll set up your stall next time, and what you'll sell."
Yun Zhizhi smiled slightly: "I'll send someone to your residence to inform you before you set up your stall next time."
Liu Xuanyi sighed, looking helpless: "If you set up a stall in the next two weeks, I'm afraid I won't have time to help you."
“Our academy is under closed management. Each break is either half a month or a month apart. During this period, even though I am the teacher, I need to stay in the academy just like the students and am not allowed to go out.”
Isn't this just boarding school?
However, the academy where she works is a bit outrageous.
If students and teachers who can't get used to the food in the academy canteen have to stay for a month before they can go home, wouldn't they be crying and begging for mercy?
"When you have your next day off, I'll bring you some things to sell at your stall next time; when you go back later, take some lotus root and some ice cream with you too..."
Liu Xuanyi ate and took more, deeply moved: "Zhizhi, you're so good to me."
She hadn't felt this warmth of home for a long time since her parents left.
After Liu Xuanyi went back, Yun Zhizhi hummed a little tune and slowly walked back to her room.
"Little Winter Melon, come out quickly!"
Little Winter Melon scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Host, this stall event only ended two days ago, and you're already impatient to start the next one?"
Yun Zhizhi raised her right index finger and shook it. "No, no, no, I just wanted to ask about the specific time for the next stall session."
If she has enough time, she wants to move.
The courtyard they are living in now is a bit old, and many people already know where she lives, and they often come to her mansion to wait for her.
So, she wanted to take advantage of her recent earnings to buy a larger and more secluded courtyard.
At this moment, she smiled slyly and added, "And by the way, could you also ask about the specific location for the next stall?"
