My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

The embroiderers sitting at the door of Gu Lili's room could no longer hold back after smelling the fragrance.

Gu Lili saw that it was almost time, so she served the food.

Looking at the shiny fried chestnuts, Gu Lili remembered the agreement she made with Yin Jiuchen more than a month ago.

The two of them had originally planned to go up the mountain together to pick chestnuts when they were ripe.

However, now that the chestnuts are ripe, he has returned to Beijing.

"Wow! Girl, you smell so good!" Gu Chenxi couldn't help swallowing.

Gu Lili's thoughts were also pulled back by Gu Chenxi's voice. She looked at the full pot of chestnuts and withdrew her thoughts.

"Try it!" Gu Lili said, picking up a few chestnuts while they were still hot and placing them in front of Gu Chenxi.

Chestnuts are most fragrant and sweet when eaten hot.

Gu Chenxi picked up a chestnut, but it was so hot that he turned it back and forth in his hands, and finally put it on the table.

"Ouch, it's so hot!" Gu Chenxi said with a smile.

She picked up another one, put it to her lips and blew it back and forth several times until she felt it was no longer hot, then she pushed it away from the opening.

The originally tender yellow flesh has turned darker and exudes an enticing aroma.

She couldn't wait to put the yellow flesh into her mouth, and the sweetness of the chestnut instantly filled her entire mouth.

It is as sweet as sweet potato, but denser and less juicy than sweet potato.

"It's really delicious!" Gu Chenxi praised.

Gu Lili also peeled one, put it in her mouth and started eating.

It's really good, the only downside is that it's a little small.

She went to the cupboard and got a large bowl, took out some chestnuts, put them on the table, and walked outside with the remaining chestnuts.

"Come quickly, it's time to eat chestnuts." Gu Lili shouted.

When the embroiderers heard this, they immediately put down their work and trotted over.

Gu Lili gave each of them a handful and asked Gu Chenxi to teach them how to eat it. Then she carried the chestnuts to the soap-making workshop.

After entering, Gu Lili still gave each person some, taught them how to eat it, and then brought it out.

"Grandma, Granny Yang, come, both of you come and try it too." Gu Lili came out and walked towards the two people who were making a fire.

As he walked, he picked out the chestnuts and handed them to the two of them.

Gu Lili put down the basin in her hand, took out a chestnut, and demonstrated to the two of them how to open it and eat it.

After peeling it, Gu Lili put it directly into Mrs. Li’s mouth.

"Grandma, please try it. Is it delicious?" Gu Lili said softly.

Old Mrs. Li nodded happily. Just because Gu Lili was so filial, even plain water tasted sweet to her.

After chewing for a few times, Mrs. Li praised the chestnuts highly.

"Sister Yang, please try it, it's so delicious!" said Old Mrs. Li to Grandma Yang beside her.

After eating it, Grandma Yang also praised it highly.

Gu Lili asked Gu Chenxi to share the rest, and she picked up the bowl left in the kitchen and walked towards Lord Lin's house.

I haven't seen Lin Xiyao for several days. Today I had some free time, so I made some chestnuts and went to Lord Lin's house to see what was going on.

Because the distance was relatively short, Gu Lili was too lazy to harness the vehicle.

He directly pulled Zhuifeng out and planned to ride over.

"Sister, let me help you put on the harness. It's too dangerous for you to ride the horse with one hand!" Gu Yunchu said worriedly while eating chestnuts.

Hiding the horse-drawn carriage, Gu Lili found it a bit troublesome.

Anyway, when they walked further away, they could put the chestnuts in the space, so he rejected Gu Yunchu's suggestion.

"Yun Chu, hold it for me. Once I'm on the horse, just hand it to me."

Gu Yunchu had no choice but to take the chestnut and help Gu Lili to hold Zhuifeng tightly to prevent it from moving around.

Gu Lili stepped on the saddle and got on the horse.

Taking the chestnuts from Gu Yunchu's hand, Gu Lili slowly loosened the reins.

Zhuifeng was a very human person after all, and he slowly took Gu Lili towards Lord Lin's house.

Gu Lili was a little amused and helpless. The way it was doing, it was not even as fast as herself walking.

If I had known this earlier, I would have harnessed the carriage.

Seeing Zhuifeng walking slowly, Gu Yunchu felt relieved and went about his own business.

Gu Lili was slowly carried out of the village by Zhuifeng.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village and saw that there was no one around, Gu Lili quickly put the big bowl in her hand into the space, patted Zhuifeng lightly, and ran towards Lord Lin's house.

No wonder it is called the Ferghana horse, it really understands human nature.

The wind lifted Gu Lili's hair, and Gu Lili felt very refreshed.

From then on, if I traveled alone, I would not drive a carriage, but ride a horse directly, which seemed to be faster.

Soon, Gu Lili arrived at Lord Lin's house.

There was a carriage parked at the door. Gu Lili took a closer look and found that it belonged to Han Mingyue's family.

I was puzzled for a moment and wondered why Han Mingyue came to Lord Lin's house.

Gu Lili turned over and got off the horse, and let Zhuifeng move around freely.

As she raised her hand, the chestnut that was originally in the space appeared in Gu Lili's hand.

Just as Gu Lili was about to knock on the door, it opened from the inside.

Han Mingyue was seen standing at the door with a somewhat dejected look, and behind her was Mrs. Lin who looked unhappy.

"Lili, you're here?" Mrs. Lin said with a smile, wiping away the unhappiness on her face.

Han Mingyue looked up when she heard the voice, and her expression was indeed listless.

"Lili." Han Mingyue simply greeted them, then said a simple goodbye to Gu Lili and Mrs. Lin, and left with a heavy heart.

Gu Lili became more and more curious about what had happened that made Han Mingyue feel so upset.

Mrs. Lin looked at Han Mingyue's departing back helplessly, sighed, and welcomed Gu Lili into the house.

Lord Lin and Lin Xiyao were not in the room.

"Where are Yaoyao and Lord Lin? These are the chestnuts we picked today. I specially sent some for you to try."

Gu Lili said this and placed the big bowl in her hand on the table.

"My master has gone to the fields again. Yao'er, I have locked her up in the house. I will let her out right now."

Mrs. Lin said this and winked at her maid.

The maid walked towards Lin Xiyao's room.

Considering Han Mingyue's expression just now, Gu Lili could probably guess something.

Soon, Lin Xiyao trotted to the front hall.

"Mother, why do you have to lock me up?" Lin Xiyao said with a dissatisfied look on her face as soon as she came in.

Then, seeing Gu Lili was there, he hurriedly trotted towards Gu Lili.

"Lili, you finally came to see me!" Lin Xiyao muttered.

In the past few days, Mrs. Lin didn't let her go to the academy. Today, when Han Mingyue came home, she even locked herself up and didn't let her see Han Mingyue.

This made Lin Xiyao very unhappy.

So, after seeing Gu Lili, he hurried to seek comfort.
