There was a hint of sarcasm on Xiyue's lips.
Yes, people in this dynasty were divided into different classes due to different identities.
I am a servant, destined to be a lowly person since birth. Even if the young lady returns the indenture to me and I am freed from my status as a servant, when I return to the Li family with the young master, my status as a servant will be mentioned frequently.
In the entire Li Mansion, apart from the young master, no one would treat him sincerely.
The master, his wife, and the young mistress regarded him as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, and they wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
By then, would I still be so lucky? Would I still be sold to a good family?
No! Not only will she not be sold to a good family, she might even lose her life!
Rather than this, it would be better for me to follow the young lady now. Although I am still a servant, at least the young lady treats me sincerely.
Lin Jiuyue originally wanted to say that all people are created equal and no one is nobler than anyone else.
But after opening his mouth, he swallowed the words.
After all, every dynasty has its own laws. If I really said this out loud, and someone heard it, they would definitely treat me as an alien.
I don't want to have to be on guard against being plotted against all day before I can enjoy my life.
"Since you have made up your mind, I respect your choice. I just hope you won't regret it later."
Xiyue smiled slightly.
"How could I regret it? The young lady is so kind to me, and I can always be with my parents. This is enough for me."
As a servant, there are not many people who can receive such treatment. I am lucky to be one of them.
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Well, let's not think about these unhappy things anymore. Let's go buy some vegetables and have Aunt Li prepare a good meal tonight. Let's treat it as, well, saying goodbye to the past and celebrating the new life."
Xiyue: ...
The young lady eats delicious food when she is happy, and she also eats delicious food when she is unhappy. If I continue to eat like this, will I become a fat person in the future?
"Miss, the food I usually eat is already very good, there is no need to buy more."
Lin Jiuyue shook her head.
"How can that be possible? Normally it's normal, but isn't today different from usual?"
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she turned around and went to buy food.
After returning to the village, Lin Jiuyue handed the purchased ingredients to Aunt Li.
"Aunt Li, please make something richer tonight so we can have a good meal."
Aunt Li looked at the pile of ingredients in front of Lin Jiuyue in surprise, and after a moment of silence, she spoke.
"Miss, what day is it today? Why did you buy so many vegetables?"
"If it's not a special day, can't we eat better?"
People live to eat, so if you make money, you should eat and drink well. Otherwise, what is the point of making money?
After hearing this, Aunt Li smiled and took the ingredients into the kitchen.
Early the next morning, Lin Jiuyue was awakened by Xiyue's scream.
"Miss, are you awake? Did the servant disturb you?"
Lin Jiuyue shook her head.
"Ben is awake too. Hey, is it snowing?"
Xiyue nodded.
"Yes, ma'am, it started snowing last night. When I woke up this morning, I saw snow piled on the vegetable leaves."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
The little snow on the leaves melted away as soon as I put my hand on it. There was not even a speck of snow on the ground.
"What's this little bit of snow? There will be more snow later, and then we can make snowmen to play with."
After listening to this, Xiyue asked excitedly.
"Miss, by then, will it be just like what those scholars say, covered in silver?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Yes, the ground was covered in white. It was completely different from the scene now."
Xiyue raised her head, as if imagining the scene of the ground covered with snow in her mind.
“I really hope that day will come soon.”
Lin Jiuyue frowned when she heard this.
The weather this year is a little unusual.
When I was fleeing the famine, it rained heavily and the temperature suddenly dropped by ten degrees.
I thought we would encounter even worse weather, but unexpectedly, the bad weather did not come until I arrived in the capital.
And now, it's not even December yet and it's already snowing.
Although the snow was not heavy, it was still a bit abnormal considering the timing.
"What are you thinking about, miss?"
Lin Jiuyue shook her head.
"Nothing to think about. Let's go and have breakfast."
When the enemy comes, we will fight him with soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. We can talk about the future later. Now the most important thing is to eat.
It was snowing lightly outside. After breakfast, Lin Jiuyue took Xiyue to the rapeseed field.
I saw that the rapeseed was not affected at all and even had some sprouts growing on it.
"Miss, the rapeseed has sprouted. After the sprouts grow, will it bloom and produce seeds?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Yes."
After saying that, Lin Jiuyue reached out and pinched off the growing rapeseed moss.
Xiyue cried out in surprise when she saw that her young lady had actually pinched the vegetable sprouts.
"Miss, why did you pinch off the vegetable sprouts? How can they produce seeds if you pinch them off?"
The lady had told me before that rapeseed oil comes from its seeds. Now that rapeseed mosses have finally grown, the lady actually pinched them off. Doesn't this destroy the rapeseed seeds' vitality?
"Pick some and stir-fry them. These rapeseed sprouts taste pretty good when stir-fried."
Xiyue: ...
Although there are few edible leafy vegetables in winter, the young lady picked the rapeseed sprouts that she had grown with great effort. Even if the young lady didn't feel sad, I felt sad too.
"But, miss, isn't the rapeseed meant to be kept for seed? If you pinch off the stalks, will it still produce seeds?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Don't worry, this rapeseed is very resilient. Besides, pinching the rapeseed once won't affect its seed production. On the contrary, pinching it will make it produce more seeds."
Pinching some rapeseed sprouts is equivalent to topping the rapeseed.
By then, new rapeseed shoots will grow from other buds, and the yield will be higher than it is now.
"Really? Miss, if you pinch the tips of the rapeseed, will the yield really increase?"
Xiyue had never seen rapeseed before, let alone heard of any experience in growing rapeseed.
At this moment, Xiyue could only believe whatever Lin Jiuyue said.
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you, young lady?"
Lin Jiuyue was pinching the tips of rapeseed while talking.
It didn't take long before he had picked a large handful.
"Xiyue, here, take these rapeseed tips. Let's take them with us. When we get back, we'll ask Aunt Li to fry a plate for us."
After handing the rapeseed moss to Xiyue, Lin Jiuyue picked another handful. Seeing that the rapeseed moss was enough to stir-fry for two plates, she stopped.
