Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Gu Yan was about to go back to the house when he saw the coral hairpin on Bai Zhi's head. "By the way, Changfeng wrote to me yesterday, saying that you haggled with the owner of the jewelry stall on the street for half an hour, which was quite indecent. I will give you 100 taels of silver for this month's expenses. On the first day of next month, the eldest wife will come to deliver the silver. Don't worry, the old lady will personally review the monthly accounts, and the eldest lady will not dare to deduct."

When it comes to money, Bai Zhi's eyes light up: "One hundred taels of silver! How much is my salary?"

Gu Yan: "You should get the same eighty taels as the Second Madam."

This is really a pleasant surprise. Bai Zhi never expected that she could get a salary after being reborn.

When the original owner was in the Bai family, only her aunt who raised her would occasionally reward her with a few cents of silver. It took her many years to save up twenty taels.

I didn't expect that working in the Marquis' Mansion would cost eighty taels a month!

A house of wealth and luxury!

Bai Zhi stretched out her hands: "Thank you, boss!"

Gu Yan couldn't help laughing, so he put a banknote in her hand and said, imitating her, "You're welcome, little servant."

From then on, Baizhi began her carefree days of recuperation.

I have three meals and two doses of medicine every day. When I have nothing to do, I bask in the sun in the yard. When I get tired of lying down, I get up and stretch my waist and legs.

For some reason, Gu Yan didn't go out at all these days. He just kept hanging around in front of Bai Zhi every day. Bai Zhi would just grab him and ask about the outside world: How much is the price of rice? How much is the price of vegetables? How much is the tax?

But this old man knew nothing about anything.

Bai Zhi mocked him for being a dandy, but Gu Yan not only did not feel ashamed, he also commented on himself seriously and finally came to the conclusion that he was indeed a dandy.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any information out of him. Seeing that Gu Yan had nothing to do, Bai Zhi actually moved a recliner over to bask in the sun with her, and even dragged Gu Yan to play chess to relieve his boredom.

Baizhi actually knows nothing about chess. If she had to choose, she would rather play something like pitching pot. Unfortunately, she is too weak to do that. She would probably have to gasp for air after throwing three balls, so she could only play chess.

Fortunately, the original owner was an expert at chess, and his mind was full of chess records, allowing Bai Zhi and Gu Yan to play back and forth.

"Gu Yan, why are you hiding?" Bai Zhi dropped a white piece, "If you hide again, there will be no way out."

On the chessboard, the white pieces were surrounding the black pieces.

"You come here with such a strong momentum, but you don't care about the fire in the backyard at all." The black piece fell and ate up several white pieces.

Bai Zhi didn't care: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. If you want this and that, you will end up with nothing."

The white pieces' attack was fierce and cunning, and they eventually won the game with a slight advantage.

Gu Yan played with the chess piece in his hand: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child..."

Bai Zhi picked up the chess pieces one by one and couldn't help but laugh at Gu Yan: "You play it safe in every game, and you're easier to guess than a three-year-old child."

"Bai Zhi, if you were holding the black pieces, how would you make your move?"

"The chessboard is so small, you can't reach the horizon." Bai Zhi supported her head with one hand and looked at Gu Yan calmly, "If the white piece hits me, I hit the white piece. If the black piece drags me down, I will break my wrist."

Gu Yan looked thoughtful.

"I'm talking about playing chess. It has nothing to do with what you've been thinking about these days. Don't blame me if you get into trouble."

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows: "What have I been thinking about these days?"

Bai Zhi spread her hands: "I'm not speculating on you, you're almost showing your worries on your face."

Gu Yan exchanged the black and white chess jars: "Let's play another game."

The prescription written by Doctor Fang was quite effective. In just a dozen days, Baizhi was almost fully cured.

After playing chess for several days in a row, Bai Zhi felt like her butt was going to get calluses from sitting so she went to the small kitchen to learn some skills.

Cook Xu, who works in the small kitchen, usually looks inconspicuous, but upon closer inspection, it turns out that she is the successor of Yang the Imperial Chef in the palace.

"The Third Madam can't do that!" Cook Xu was about to cry, "The Third Madam is a princess, how can she be in the kitchen!"

It took a lot of effort to persuade Chef Xu. Bai Zhi had no choice but to use the excuse that "I want to cook for the third master myself, so I need to improve my cooking skills." Only then did Chef Xu reluctantly teach Bai Zhi how to cook.

In her previous life, Bai Zhi often bought groceries and cooked for herself to save money, but she had never used a stove that required burning fire. She thought that as long as she learned how to burn fire, everything would come naturally, but she failed at the first step.

"Madam Xu!" Bai Zhi was covered in sawdust and tried hard to carry the fire starter to the stove. "Why isn't it burning?"

Cook Xu found Bai Zhi's expression amusing and smiled as she instructed her, "Madam San, you put in only large pieces of wood, which won't light up. You should put in more fine wood first and use some straw paper as fire starters."

Baizhi followed what Cook Xu said and after a while of struggling, she finally managed to light the fire.

"It's finally lit! Chef Xu, bring some oil!"

Seeing that Bai Zhi wanted to cook right after she learned how to light a fire, Cook Xu was afraid that she would blow up the kitchen, so she hurriedly advised: "Madam, you have been very tired today, why don't we learn how to cook tomorrow."

Bai Zhi patted her chest confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'm not tired at all."

Then as expected, the vegetable was fried into a black mess.

Bai Zhi never expected that the stove fire was much stronger than she thought.

"Come again, I'll put less firewood." Bai Zhi was ready to fight. Cook Xu heard this and tried to stop her: "Madam, it's almost time for dinner. If you let Madam and Master go hungry, I can't bear it!"

Seeing that Chef Xu was in a really difficult situation, Bai Zhi had no choice but to return the stove to her.

Baizhi squatted at the door of the small kitchen and daydreamed carelessly. Today she would learn how to light a fire, tomorrow she would learn how to cook, and the day after tomorrow she would be able to make a delicious dish. After these three years, she would become a great chef.

By then, I will be able to make a lot of money by opening a restaurant... No, I can't just go for the money anymore. Wake up, I can't make the same mistake again.

Bai Zhi knocked her head hard, trying to knock the idea out of her mind.

"Miss! What happened to your head!?"

"Ah, nothing. What's the matter? Come to me if you need anything."

Qiaoqiao was relieved: "Miss, Mingxin told me that the Second Madam wanted to visit you just now, but Mingxin stopped her because the Third Master said that no one can come to Yishui Garden to disturb you while you are recovering from your illness within a month. The Second Madam asked Mingxin to send a gift, and I am here to give it to you."

Qiaoqiao was holding an exquisite brocade box. Baizhi opened the lid and saw a large Ganoderma lucidum of good quality inside.

"The Second Madam really spent a lot of money." Bai Zhi sighed, "Qiaoqiao, take it to the kitchen and ask Cook Xu to make some soup."

Qiaoqiao didn't go into the kitchen, but squatted beside her, imitating Baizhi's behavior. "Miss, I heard that the old lady sent someone to come, and asked Mingxin to stop them. The third master stood up for the young lady and even rejected the old lady's face so that the young lady could recover from her illness. The third master is really good to the young lady."
