“Housekeeper, give Erya some pocket money every month. Erya, you need to concentrate on cooking. There is no need for you to do anything else. By the way, housekeeper, get Erya some Caiyun Silk, which was transported from the Silk Shop in the province this year, and make her a good set of clothes.”
“Thank you, father!”
After that, Su Huanli left in a hurry. Nanny Li was very excited. She had been unhappy when Second Miss told her to find these leaves. She didn’t know they would be rewarded.
“Nanny Nanny, come and help me to clean the kitchen. I’m feeling weak.”
“Okay, I’m coming. Second Miss, don’t hurt yourself.”
Su Erya was laughing as if she was really very happy. But when you looked carefully, you would find that her eyes were calm and cold.
Su Huanli returned to the study and wrote a letter at once. He gave it to the housekeeper.
“Now you go to the County and make sure to give the letter to Li Wei.”
The housekeeper was surprised,
“My lord, my lord! Good news!” said the housekeeper when he returned.Su Huanli looked happy and asked, “Is it done?”“Yes!”The housekeeper clapped. “Squire Li really liked the delicacies, and he agreed at once.”But Su Huanli sneered and whispered, “This dish will definitely be a huge profit in the restaurant. He is raised by Li Shanbao. If he didn’t agree, there would be something wrong!”Su Huanli couldn’t help but sigh. “If the Su family didn’t focus on the cloth business, I wouldn’t give Li Wei the chance to make money on this. What a pity.”The housekeeper suddenly understood Su Huanli’s words. No wonder Li Wei made his decision without hesitation.“My lord, that recipe...”“You take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and go to Erya,” Su Huanli said, then frowned. “It’s a huge matter… Just find a good excuse and take her to the study.”In a small courtyard, Su Erya sat quietly in the sunshine with her eyes closed, as if she
“In the past few years, I have found that this jade might be produced in Yunjing. I should be quick, since time is limited.”If Zipei were admitted to the large family, though she might become her “adoptive mother”, her position would rise. After that, Su Huanli wouldn’t dare offend her!Zhu Yan smiled, as if she saw the beautiful future.Thinking of this, Zhu Yan took out all the jewels that she had stored for many years, and rushed to the pawnshop in the town.In the study, the old butler wrote down the recipe for zongzi that Su Erya told him.Su Huanli, sitting to the side and listening, was surprised. He never expected that a small zongzi was made in so many exquisite steps. His second daughter was really a genius for cooking.Unfortunately, the Su family did not have a restaurant. That’s why he allowed Li Wei the chance to make so much money!After dictating the recipe, Su Erya put the rest of the zongzi in a neat line, took a bow and l
Doctor Qi thought his identity was well hidden. Everyone was in the dark about who he was except for Su Erya, because she knew him from the barracks in her previous life.Back then, he had looked at Su Erya with some pity and a lot of disgust, as she was just one of many military prostitutes in the barracks.Now living in the remote Dasu Town, it was no wonder that no one could find him in this world.Once Su Erya stepped out, Qi Xianqing’s eyes immediately lit up. Su Huanli didn’t notice this. He introduced Doctor Qi to Erya at once, “This is my daughter, Erya. What do you think?”Qi Xianqing pretended to look up and down for a moment, and nodded slightly, “Miss Su is a natural beauty, and she must be very intelligent. I’ll stay here to give it a try for a few days.”Su Huanli was happy. He said, “Then the girl will have the honor to be your student, Mr. Qi.”Qi Xianqing smiled kindly with glistening eyes. “By the way, I’ve heard that your eldest
“Little girl, come with me.”Qi Xianqing beckoned to her with some excitement. Being with her these days, he knew that this girl was qualified. She was pure, kind, and diligent with deep emotions, to say nothing of her aptitude.She was definitely a good candidate for his successor. Her age was a little older than normal, but this could be ignored.Qi Xianqing went to a secluded place with Su Erya and asked, “Little girl, do you know who I am?”Su Erya blinked and replied cunningly, “I know… You are a famous doctor and teacher in town.”“Hahaha...” Qi Xianqing laughed heartily, “I am not just famous in our town. When you go out in the world, you will know that the name of Qi Xianqing is not just well-known in Dahan Country!”“Are there any other countries except for Dahan Country?” Su Erya asked with her head tilted. She was clearly not on the point.Qi Xianqing’s smiled bitterly. “Of course, when you grow up, you will go out and see more of
Didn’t the Lord always dislike that the women in his family had literacy? How did he suddenly change his mind to let Erya learn to read, and specially invite a teacher to teach her? This... this was ridiculous!“Second Miss is smart and she learns quickly. The Lord has always appreciated her! It is said that the First Madam cultivated a good daughter.”Her personal nanny observed the First Madam’s expressions as she congratulated her. Although the First Madam had not liked the Second Miss in the past, now that the Second Miss was so favored by the Lord, the nanny thought that the attitude of the First Madam should change.She looked down and saw that Zhu Yan was furious and looked at her with anger. She was so scared that she froze with her mouth open. She really didn’t know if she had said anything wrong.“It seems that the Lord didn’t find out that Erya is not his daughter,” said Zhu Yan as she slowly combed her hair. Her face in
Outside the class, Su Zipei held a book and peeped through the door quietly. Three people immediately appeared in her sight: the old teacher, her fourth young brother, and a very beautiful strange girl.“I don’t have any clothes made by satin with the pattern of iridescent clouds... Who is she? Why is my second sister not here?” Su Zipei murmured. Suddenly, Qi Xianqing shouted from the classroom, “Who is making noise outside? Come in!”Su Zipei was so scared that the book in her arms fell to the ground and her body was exposed.When Qi Xianqing saw Su Zipei, he held his breath and said in a low voice, “Third Miss, the butler has already told you that you must wait in the classroom every day from five a.m. to seven a.m. Today you have broken my rules. Don’t do it again. Find a seat to sit down.”“Yes, Mr. Qi,” Su Zipei replied with grief. She was angry in her heart. He was just a poor teacher invited by the Su Family.
Su Erya smiled slightly. But when she turned her head, she was pitiful. She obediently walked in front, exactly as before.Nanny Li followed timidly and kept looking around, hoping to meet the butler. But unfortunately, as they walked to the West Courtyard, she did not meet him on the road.Boom!The wooden door of the big wing of the West courtyard was violently closed, and the First Madam turned her face without expression. She said, “Nanny Li, thanks for your care for Erya during these days. From now on, Nanny Zheng who comes from West Courtyard will take care of her. Nanny Zheng, give her some money and let her go. If she doesn’t go... just beat and drag her out!”Clack!A thick wooden stick was put in front of her, and Nanny Li was so frightened that she trembled violently. Such a big stick could break her legs. But she did not take the money or move.Nanny Zheng grimly smiled. When she lifted the sti
“Oh, Second Miss, I am really sorry for my old legs and feet. But it is just a little dirty water, and you can eat it if you wash it with the water of the well.” Nanny Zheng stepped back with a cruel smile and continued, “I have to serve the First Madam to get up, so I have no time to wash it for you.”As she spoke, the nameless fire in Nanny Zheng’s heart burned again. Because Su Erya did not look up at her from the beginning, nor did she show any expression of resentment and despair.It was like... It was like she was a clown performing a one-man show on the stage.Damn it!“Damn Erya, your eldest brother is far away from the County Town, and no one will save you this time!” Nanny Zheng was so angry that she left with her hips swinging after saying that.Su Erya looked up and stared at the back of Nanny Zheng. After a moment, there was a gentle smile on her face, the blood behind her flowed down the wooden stool and
