"Don't worry, ma'am, everything is fine. They covered their faces at the time, so no one saw them." Uncle Gu praised happily, "Yun'an is now very steady and responsible."
Yun An has now fully assumed the position of captain of the guard team on Xia Tian's side. In addition to being responsible for the security of the second courtyard, he is also responsible for the restaurant.
He is also down-to-earth, responsible and thorough in his work.
These days, we have arranged for people to be on duty at the restaurant at night. They are not only careful and thoughtful, but also steady and measured.
"Okay. Before doing anything, make sure you are safe first." Xia Tian said with a smile, but also gave a worried reminder.
I am afraid that they will be so focused on completing the mission that they will be careless and expose their flaws, putting themselves in danger, which is not worth it.
Uncle Gu, Yun'an, and the others have been working very hard lately, but no one has complained. Xia Tian was very pleased. "Uncle Gu, when you distribute the monthly wages this month, give Yun'an and the others an extra five taels of silver each, and you an extra ten taels as a reward for this period of time."
"Okay, ma'am, thank you very much." Uncle Gu rubbed his hands excitedly.
This lady is really generous. Normally, he already receives a monthly salary of fifteen taels of silver as the shopkeeper here.
They even give out rewards all the time, which is much better than his previous master.
Moreover, the lady is kind and never treats servants harshly, which is better than many other masters.
"Well, it's okay. I'll go back first." Xia Tian said hello to Uncle Gu after dinner and went back to Linglong Lane first.
In three days, Uncle Chen had already rolled out tens of thousands of soybean-sized pills.
I estimate that it should be all done in about ten days.
Aunt Chen only made about twenty sets of cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes.
Uncle Chen looked at Xia Tian, a little embarrassed, "Madam, girls are more careful when it comes to rolling pills, so they have mainly helped us roll the pills these past few days."
The group of young men felt embarrassed when they heard Uncle Chen say this. The main reason was that rolling pills was a delicate job. With their clumsy hands and feet, they could probably roll pills the size of eggs, but soybean-sized ones would be a bit difficult for them.
"That's all right." Xia Tian looked at the rows of small porcelain bottles with a smile on his face. "First, focus on rubbing out the pills, and then make the clothes slowly."
It is not a good idea to boil medicine in the yard every day, mainly because the smell is too strong and the neighbors around will inevitably smell it.
"Okay, ma'am." Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen quickly agreed.
She looked at the porcelain bottles, each labeled with the name of the medicine, neatly arranged and classified, and nodded with satisfaction, "Uncle Chen is very meticulous in his work. These are packaged very well."
As she spoke, she picked up a porcelain bottle, opened it, poured out the pills and looked at them. They were exactly the same as she had requested.
Uncle Chen heard the compliment and grinned as he introduced Xia Tian, "Madam, each of these medicine bottles contains twenty pills. Here are five hundred bottles."
After a pause, he continued, "Madam, if all the herbs are rolled into pills, then the batch of porcelain bottles we ordered will not be enough. We need to order more."
I didn't think too much about it before and only ordered 2,000. I thought there would be some left over and I could put them aside when the time comes, as they can be used anyway.
I didn’t expect that there are fewer now.
"Well, Uncle Chen, take care of it. Order more. Maybe they'll be useful in the future."
Originally, she planned to pack the rolled pills into jars and put them in the space. After all, the space can keep the pills fresh and they won't go bad.
Then prepare some empty porcelain bottles in the space and put a few in them when you need them.
But because Uncle Chen needed to help boil the medicine and make the pills, they couldn't be packaged in this way, so we ordered two thousand porcelain bottles.
After she finished looking around here and there was nothing else to do, she returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
Wen Jin's wedding was in a few days, so Xia Tian didn't go out again. He just stayed in the house reading and painting.
The day before Wen Jin's wedding, she went to Wen Yibo's house to add makeup to her makeup.
Hu Mengyao and Lin Sayu were naturally there too.
When she took out the portrait for Wen Jin, as soon as Wen Jin took it, Hu Mengyao looked at her expectantly, "Sister Wen, open it and show it to us."
Wen Jin glanced at Xia Tian, and when she nodded, she opened the box and took out the scroll. Just as she was about to open it, Hu Mengyao snatched it away, "Let me do it!"
As he said that, he handed one end to Lin Sayu and took the other end and gently unfolded it.
"Wow! This is so beautiful!" they exclaimed!
In the painting, Wen Jin is standing in a large plum forest, looking straight ahead. Her face is gorgeous, and her white cloak and the red plum blossoms complement each other beautifully, which is breathtakingly beautiful!
This was the first time I went to Lingwu Temple. The moment that impressed Xia Tian the most about Wen Jin was in the plum forest on the back mountain.
Wen Jin was naturally outstanding in appearance. The reason she became famous in the capital was not only her talent but also her beauty.
Wen Jin in the painting is lifelike, giving people the feeling of a fairy in a painting.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Xia Tian asked her with a smile.
Wen Jin stared at herself in the painting and nodded after a long moment. "I like it! Thank you, Xia Tian."
Although the trip to Lingwu Temple was not very pleasant as she met Liu San and the others, she really liked this painting.
She never knew that she could be so beautiful in the eyes of others!
"As long as you like it!"
Hu Mengyao had seen enough and started yelling, "Xia Tian, where's mine? Is my painting finished?"
Xia Tian glanced at her and said, "You haven't decided on a wedding date yet, so of course the painting isn't finished yet."
"Then I'll ask my mother to set a date for me as soon as possible." Hu Mengyao has already started looking forward to getting married for the sake of the portrait.
"You have no shame!" Xia Tian laughed at her. "You have to wait until the Spring Examination is over next year, right?"
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. Just prepare it for me first." Hu Mengyao laughed, "Remember, make sure you draw me as pretty as Sister Wen!"
