Chapter 219 [Excellent Hearing]
@Guan Yue: What's wrong with eating more? Being able to eat is a blessing, understand?
@周居善 (Grand Chamberlain): I'm eating it! The emperor doesn't even get this treatment! The seafood he eats isn't as fresh as mine! The pine nut and osmanthus candy is sweet but not greasy! (Picture)
@Master Liao: Sister Li, why don't I have pine nut and osmanthus candy? I want sweets too! Believe it or not, I'll cry right here for you to see!
@Jiang Lili: Cry, cry louder, even better, cry until your voice is like a duck! What candy can a teething kid eat? What should I do if I have cavities? Where can I see a dentist in ancient times? Don't expect me to get you a set of dental equipment.
…
Friends successively posted pictures of the food Jiang Lili fed the children in the group, thanking their class darling for feeding them.
Jiang Lili was in high spirits when she received the news, and the carriage arrived at the inn.
Escort Cen and three other escorts were already waiting for Jiang Lili at the inn. The craftsman introduced by Zhang Xin was indeed reliable. After receiving the drawings, he didn't ask too many questions, negotiated the price, paid the deposit, and started working.
Master Cen has brought back the first batch of assembled fire rod component samples for Jiang Lili to see.
Jiang Lili saw that the appearance of the samples was fine and was no different from the ones made by Xincheng County Magistrate Hu, so she gave the first batch of samples in red envelopes to Master Liao.
After she finished these things, it was already dark and it was time to prepare dinner.
Jiang Lili was thinking about the box of pastries she had sent to Xin Che. Guan Yue hadn't sent her any messages since she thanked her in the group.
She lit the candles on the mahogany round table. The dim candlelight flickered and reflected on the round table, adding a bit of warmth to the quiet space.
Jiang Lili was sitting at the table with her chin in her hands. Suddenly, the candlelight made a crackling sound, which scared Jiang Lili.
She couldn't help but privately message Guan Yue: [Sister, have you sent the lunch box to Xin Che?]
After sending this message, Jiang Lili covered her slightly hot cheeks. She suddenly realized that "pear blossom" is homophonic with her name, and the red beans used as embellishments also symbolize lovesickness.
Damn it, at that time she only thought that this frosting roll was so beautiful, so she quickly sent it to Xin Che while it was fresh. He was training the Xin family army at sea, and the environment was harsh. She sent him a very clever little dessert hoping to relieve Xin Che's fatigue. After all, he loved sweet things the most.
After a while, Jiang Lili received a reply from Guan Yue, and Jiang Lili hurriedly checked the content of the message.
She didn't know why she was so concerned about the news here.
[@Guan Yue: Don't worry, I've already asked Cheng Jiayu to send it to the prince's room.]
Jiang Lili was a little dazed when she saw the three words "Cheng Jiayu". It turned out that Guan Yue's husband's surname was Cheng. She always thought Jiayu was his full name, and she sighed that this surname was quite rare.
Wait, Jiang Lili suddenly remembered, didn't Guan Yue's husband-in-law lose his memory? Now he has regained his memory and remembered his own name?
She quickly asked Guan Yue: [Has Jiayu recovered her memory?]
The chat box showed that the other party was typing for a long time before Jiang Lili received a message from Guan Yue: [Cheng Jiayu is the prince's man. He didn't lose his memory, he was just pretending. He is recovering from his injuries in the village.]
Jiang Lili suddenly remembered that back in the Qinglin Mountains, Xin Che had told her that Cheng Jiayu was the captain of his light cavalry unit. At the time, Jiang Lili saw that Guan Yue and Cheng Jiayu were getting along well, and thought it would be best for Jiayu to be honest with Guan Yue herself, so she didn't interfere.
Wait, judging from Sister Yi’s tone, she seems to be angry about Cheng Jiayu’s concealment of the truth. No wonder she didn’t mention her gigolo during the communication a few days ago!
【@Jiang Lili: Sis, don’t be angry.】
@Guan Yue: I! No! I'm angry! He's nothing! I'll just marry a few more pretty boys and be cool.
Jiang Lili looked at Guan Yue's words and thought, well, she was really angry. Jiayu could only wish her the best.
@Guan Yue: Forget it, forget about the gigolo. You're so diligent in messaging me.
After hearing Jiang Lili say that the food box contained sweets, Guan Yue lost interest. She also did not open the food box for Xin Che. After all, she received three times as much as Xin Che!
Seeing Jiang Lili so concerned about Xin Che's reaction, Guan Yue asked suspiciously, "What exactly did you give him that you're so eager to see his reaction?"
@Jiang Lili: It’s nothing special, just a dessert.
Guan Yue didn't believe it, so she would go and ask around later.

Moonlight shone on the vast ocean. The modified Dawn sailed through the sea fog.
On the deck, Xin Che put down the telescope. The cloud-blue headband that tied his hair and a few strands of black hair on his forehead fluttered in the wind, looking unrestrained and free.
The sleeves embroidered with golden cloud dragon patterns swayed in the wind. Xin Che took out a thousand paper cranes from his sleeves and played with them in his hands.
The thousand paper cranes were made of colorful candy wrappers, and they sparkled with the broken light of laser paper under the moonlight, which looked very beautiful.
Cheng Jiayu walked up behind Xin Che, a slap mark on his left cheek. His Adam's apple rolled nervously, hoping the night would be too dark so Xin Che couldn't see his face clearly. "Master, we have successfully passed through the sea fog. You should go and rest."
Since the day they set out from Haizhou to Nan'an, the master has not had a good rest and has been busy arranging many things.
Xin Che glanced at the crescent moon in the sky, and without looking back at Cheng Jiayu, he simply said in a calm voice, "I have some ointment on the desk in the cabin to reduce swelling and relieve pain. You can apply it."
Cheng Jiayu froze. Holy shit, the master has eyes behind him! He can see without even turning around?!
As if Xin Che understood Cheng Jiayu's thoughts, he added, "That slap was really loud. It's impossible for it not to be swollen."
He paused for a moment, "Didn't that stupid eagle come here today?"
Cheng Jiayu suddenly remembered that his master had excellent hearing. He touched his face and said angrily, "The hunting style of the Crown Prince's wife? No."
Xin Che stopped playing with the paper cranes. Cheng Jiayu shivered and suddenly felt the sea breeze was even colder, freezing the slap marks on his face.
He quickly remembered: "Oh, by the way, the Guanzhai leader asked me to send something to your room. It seems to be food. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Xin Che turned his head, glanced at him, then lifted his long legs and walked towards the cabin, quickly disappearing on the deck.
"Master, wait for me. I need to apply medicine!"
Cheng Jiayu hurriedly caught up. They still had training tomorrow, and he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the whole camp with this face.
Xin Che returned to the cabin and found an exquisite woven lunch box on his desk. On the lunch box was a small piece of blue floral-patterned paper with the words "Xin Che" written on it. The handwriting was beautiful and timeless. Xin Che recognized it as Jiang Lili's at a glance.
After putting the small piece of paper away carefully, he opened the lunch box with his slender fingers.
Xin Che was stunned when he saw what was in the food box. There were pear blossom-shaped pastries on the moonlit porcelain plate, the frosting looked like crushed snow, and the honey looked like branches.
When his eyes fell on the red beans that dotted the flower stamens, Xin Che's eyebrows raised slightly.
"Ah, there's so much frosting, Master, don't you always dislike sweet things? Give it to me!"
As soon as Cheng Jia entered the cabin, his eyes were attracted by the snacks in the food box. He stretched out his paw to pick up the plate.
