When it comes to human desires, there are too many.

At first, he wanted to be famous and rich, but in the capital, he needed power to achieve that. Moreover, he was an assassin, and he couldn't protect himself if he made any big noise.

So live one day at a time and don't worry too much for now.

But now, Yaoguang has opened the door to a new world for him again, and he can't help but have some new ideas.

He coveted Miss Yaoguang's cooking skills, but what he coveted even more was Yaoguang's unique craft of making wood work.

Although he wanted it very much, Ding Mao felt that he had to save some face, so he just said slowly: "I don't want anything for now? Miss, is your bakery still short of people? Can you stay in the back and help you run the business?"

"The girl wants to move. The place is far from the bakery. It's not convenient to go there every day. How about I help her with the work?"

Some things have to be done slowly and steadily!

Taking the initiative to work?

Yaoguang thought about it for a while and did not refuse.

"You're going to work in the store, and I have to pay you."

Although the latter part of the work was easier than the former, Yaoguang could not do such a cruel thing as to let Ding Mao work for nothing.

Secondly, Yaoguang knew that if a person worked for her without asking for anything in return, he either had ulterior motives or something else.

Seeing the wood and bamboo tubes piled up in Ding Mao's yard, Yaoguang roughly knew what he wanted. But since Ding Mao didn't ask for it directly, she was not in a hurry.

Anyway, the pancake-making assembly line in the backyard is very simple and you can learn it just by watching. Let him watch it a few more times. It’s not a big deal.

If you can't learn it, she can teach you again.

Ding Mao didn't know that Yaoguang had seen through half of his little thoughts. He was happy to stop being an assassin and turn to learning carpentry.

As the saying goes, you never stop learning.

Being an assassin was a job for him when he was young, and no one wanted to hire him for work as he got older. It was a carpenter's trade anyway, and the older a carpenter got, the more valuable he was. If he had great skills, he would have endless work to do.

When I returned to the courtyard where Sun was, the door was locked tightly.

If there hadn't been any sounds in the house, Yaoguang would have almost thought that something had happened to her aunt.

Yaoguang knocked on the door and waited for a while. Before Sun opened the door for her, she climbed over the wall and shouted loudly inside: "Aunt, I'm back."

Sun finally came to her senses, put down the work at hand and walked out, "When did you come back? I didn't hear any sound..."

Sun realized belatedly that she had locked the door. When she stepped into the yard and was about to open the door for Yaoguang, she found that Yaoguang had already walked up to her.

Sun was no longer surprised by this kind of situation. She remembered that Yaoguang was going to the bakery and asked with concern, "Have you packed up the things in the shop?"

Yaoguang thought Sun was asking about today's revenue, so she nodded and said, "I've collected it."

"The things in the room have been almost packed up. I'll call a carriage, load you in, and then send you back to the Wei family..." Sun muttered to herself, turned her back, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

She couldn't bear to send her child over there!

Sun originally planned to live with Yaoguang, but after learning that the Wei family's courtyard cost so much money every month, she immediately changed her mind.

I won’t go. I can’t spend other people’s money, nor can I spend her Yaoguang’s money.

How could she be willing to spend the money that she could never earn even if she worked till her death? She had to save it for Yaoguang!

So she planned to send Yaoguang there today and not go there anymore! She would never associate with Yaoguang again!

She was her own eldest daughter there, with people serving her meals and tea, which was pretty good! She didn't have to suffer with me!

Thinking of this, Sun packed up Yaoguang's things with a sad heart, and now she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Aunt, please come with me. I have asked for a yard. It's right next to the Wei family." Yaoguang planned.

"That won't work. That place must be so expensive!" Sun refused.

Living there for a month costs two hundred taels, so if you want to buy it, it would be a sky-high price! Although Sun didn't know the exact amount, she knew that she couldn't afford it, and she didn't want to become a burden to Yaoguang.

Don’t let Yaoguang and her uncle deceive an old lady like me.

"Aunt, I have something to tell you..." Yaoguang looked at Sun and said.

"This is a long story, let's go inside and talk."

After the two entered the house, Yaoguang started to talk about the origin of her yard.

In fact, Yaoguang wanted to buy it himself at first, and even planned to make money for it.

After staying here for a while, Yaoguang has a certain understanding of the various industries in the capital.

The fastest way was to make money. She had seen the silver bills and could easily make the same ones. But considering that such a thing violated order and morality, Yaoguang chose to give up. She couldn't let the world become chaotic because of her.

She still remembered the Mastermind's advice to her.

The second is some profitable businesses in the capital, flowers, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some jade treasures. Yaoguang also felt that he could make it, and even quickly raise a large sum of money.

She even asked someone how to buy the house next door.

Only after realizing that she couldn't buy the other person's house even if she spent money did Yaoguang think of Cai Fan.

So the house became hers directly.

As for why it became hers, that story started many days ago.

That day she and her great aunt went to Hanshan Temple. When her great aunt was sleeping in the carriage (she was knocked unconscious by her), she saved two people along the way.

They were the princess and the queen, and as a thank you for their help, the house was hers.

Sun can live there now for free.

After listening to Yaoguang's explanation, every wrinkle on Sun's face was filled with confusion, as if she didn't understand.

Why did they start talking about the Queen and the Princess? Did she miss something just now?

It's not that Sun didn't hear clearly, but she didn't want to believe it. It's really scary that the most noble person in the world would one day be related to her family.

So Yaoguang explained it again, and Sun's reaction was much better this time.

Holding Yaoguang's hand, his eyes were still confused: "Yaoguang, you won't lie to your aunt."

"I won't lie to my aunt. If she doesn't believe me, I can take her to meet them."

Cai Fan said that the queen and the princess were looking forward to her entering the palace.

Yaoguang currently has no idea about entering the palace to meet two strangers, but in order to reassure her aunt, she can go.

"No, no, no! No!" Sun's head shook like a rattle. "Aunt believes in you, good boy."

Sun just felt her head was dizzy. She patted Yaoguang's hand gently over and over again, but still couldn't figure it out.

How did Yaoguang save them? How did I fall asleep that day?

She hasn't even met the emperor's wife and daughter!
