Wealth and glory seek stability

The furniture was also delivered by the furniture store clerks. They were all good workers and quickly put the furniture in place. Lei Zi saw that there were only two little girls cleaning, so he volunteered to fill the water tank with water and helped clean the house front to back.

Jian Xi was stunned.

Be nice!

This guy really knows how to work.

These two taels of silver are totally worth it.

After Lei Zi finished his work, he was still dizzy when he received two taels of silver.

"This...isn't it a bit too much? I only did such a small amount of work, but I got so much money."

"It's okay. Brother Leizi has helped me so much. I will come to you if I need you in the future."

"Okay, if you have any problems in the future just come to the shop to find me." After saying that, Lei Zi glanced around the yard to make sure that all the places that needed to be cleaned had been cleaned. However, he did not expect that when he looked at Caiyun who was holding a basin of water, they both blushed.

Lei Zi looks one or two years older than Shen Nanxing. He is dressed in shorts and looks neat and energetic. When he smiles, his wheat-colored face is full of vitality, and he looks like a sunny and cheerful boy.

This age would be the age for studying in previous lives, but in this dynasty, people can already go out and make a living.

"I definitely won't be polite with you." Jian Xi pretended not to see the interaction between Lei Zi and Cai Yun.

I didn't expect that Caiyun, who is always steady, would be so embarrassed.

It’s great to be young!

She had never felt such a fluttering feeling before.

Jian Xi's evil taste came into play, and she urged with evil intentions: "Brother Lei Zi, the work is done, why don't you leave yet? Are you waiting for me to keep dinner for you?" After saying that, she glanced at Caiyun with her peripheral vision and saw that she looked anxious.

Hey hey hey.

You little brat! Caiyun couldn't hold back after she said this. It's not good for a girl to do this. She should be more reserved.

Lei Zi stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

Jian Xi once again said seriously: "Originally, I could have left some food for you, but today there are only a few women like us at home, and I'm afraid it would be inconvenient for a man like you."

Lei Zi was helpless, "Girl, you misunderstood, I...I don't want to keep your meal." Then he slipped out the door as if his butt was on fire.

Jian Xi burst out laughing.

Hahaha, this Lei Zi is really funny.

Only the colorful clouds flowed down and fell into the basin, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Jian Xi doesn't care about that. Let them break through the window paper themselves.

She just quietly supports this childhood sweetheart pair!

That's what makes it interesting, isn't it?

Caiyun is only nine years old this year.

Wow, I have to say that children in ancient times were really precocious.

As long as people like Lei Zi can keep making progress, they will surely achieve great things in the future.

Caiyun wouldn't be at a disadvantage by following him.

Caixia and Lai Xicai came back from shopping, followed by an old man pushing a cart.

"..."

"Have you guys taken over all the stalls?"

"No, there's nothing here, right? So we went to buy some common items and some ingredients, just enough to make a meal. This old man was so kind, so he offered to bring it to us."

Jian Xi smiled and walked over to the old man to help him unload the car. "Thank you so much for troubling me. My master will be back soon. I'll come to you next time if I need anything."

It's not that she is narrow-minded, but she always has to be on guard against others. When there are several girls in the same yard, it is inevitable that some criminals will target them.

The old man had a simple face. Although he was very old, he was very efficient in his work. "What are you talking about, young lady? You bought a lot of these things, so it's only right for me to deliver them."

Jian Xi watched the old man unload the car and leave.

"I'll be the chef today, so just wait and eat." Jian Xi has a good skill. Her favorite thing before was to learn how to cook from food bloggers on the Internet.

"Okay!"

Jian Xi was busy in the kitchen, and Caixia and the others were also not idle. Each of them held a basin of water and cleaned the windows, enjoying the work very much.

A little after noon, a pleasant aroma wafted from the kitchen.

It's not the kind of exquisite and complicated meals in the palace, but just the ordinary smell of fireworks.

"It's time to eat!"

Jian Xi and a few little girls sat at a small square table in the yard, surrounding the steaming food.

"Today we drink tea instead of wine and toast together, hoping that everything will go well for us in the future."

"Come on, cheers!"

"I have an idea. How about we become sworn sisters?" Caixia suggested.

Who says only men have brotherhood? Girls can also have friendship!

"Okay!"

"We just happened to buy an incense table when we went out shopping." Lai Xi did what he said and immediately walked into the room and placed the incense table in the yard.

Caiyun's nose was sore, and she took out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe her tears. "This is great. We have no relatives anyway, so we can become sisters and help each other in this world."

Caixia reached out and patted Caiyun on the back to comfort her, "I heard that men out there will become sworn brothers when they meet someone with similar interests. We are becoming sworn brothers today, so we should be happy. Why are you crying instead?"

They were all young children, less than ten years old, and abandoned by their families. Who wouldn't long for family?

Four people knelt on the ground, holding teacups in their hands.

They looked at each other in bewilderment. "I have never sworn brotherhood before, so I don't know what to say when it comes to sworn brotherhood."

It was still Jian Xi who took the lead and said, "Now I, Jian Xi, Caixia, Caiyun, Lai Xi and the four of us have become sisters with different surnames. We do not ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but we ask to die on the same day of the same month of the same year!" She was using the most famous oath of brotherhood in the history of China in her previous life, and it was also her heartfelt expectation.

The three of them echoed.

"I'm Caixia..."

"I came to like..."

"I am Caiyun..."

The ceremony was over and the four of them stood up.

My belly is full after the meal.

"This is the most comfortable meal I've had since coming to Beijing."

"That's right, don't you see how good Sister Jian Xi's cooking skills are?"

"Yes, I think Sister Jian Xi's cooking skills are better than those of the chefs in the palace."

"Don't talk nonsense. I can only cook these ordinary home-cooked dishes. If you want exquisite dishes, the chefs in the mansion are better."

Lai Xi was immediately displeased, "Who said that? That Wang Madam only cooks the same few dishes. She just relies on the good ingredients. The other day, Sister Caiqing gave Caiyun and me two cakes. They were too sweet and tasteless."

Caiyun didn't say anything, she touched her belly and agreed: "That's right, I've never eaten cakes before, and I thought they were delicious the first time I ate them. But after a while, they really tasted bland. Home-cooked dishes like this are more to my taste."

The flattery that several people gave her was so overwhelming that Jian Xi almost thought the food she cooked was some kind of fine wine.

After the meal, the three of them didn't let Jian Xi get involved at all, "Sister, go tidy up the house. You've already cooked, let us clean up the rest."

"Yes, yes. It just so happens that I ate too much. Moving around can help digest it."

"Then I won't be polite with you."

Jian Xi walked into one of the rooms, where there was an altar with an incense table on top.

She asked Lei Zi to make five tablets at a shop that specializes in making memorial tablets.

Following the original owner's memory, she made tablets for the original owner's parents and Shen Nanxing's parents. There was also a tablet without words on it, which she had thought of long ago. It was a tablet for the original owner, and below it was the original owner's birth date.

Jian Xi lit three incense sticks with the candlelight in the room, knelt on the cushion and made a sincere wish.

Now I am Jian Xi. From now on, I will be the one to worship your parents. I hope you can be born into a happy family in your next life and live a peaceful life. Thank you for your body that allows me to live again. Don't worry, I will definitely live well.

He then bowed three times and placed the incense stick in the incense burner. The smoke from the incense stick floated straight up without interruption.

The string that had been tense in Jian Xi's heart suddenly broke, and her whole body felt much more relaxed.

In a trance, she seemed to see the figure of the original owner, a weak little girl with a shy smile on her face.

In just a moment, it disappeared.

But she didn't feel scared.

This time, the original owner seemed to be really gone.

This kind of mysterious thing is really hard to explain. I should do more good deeds and accumulate merits in the future.
