Slowly Deep Love

Before dawn, the kitchen of the Taiwei Mansion was busy.

Chunxue took the shopping list she had made the day before and went to the suburbs to buy vegetables. There were several acres of fertile land there, growing all kinds of vegetables. Every day she would bring back a large cart for the people in the Taiwei Mansion to enjoy.

Chunxue picked out three strong men and drove a horse-drawn carriage. When they returned with a full load, the sky in the east was just beginning to turn pale.

When the carriage passed through the West Market, the streets were still deserted and all the shops were closed.

There was a clothing store with lights on, and Haruyuki looked over curiously and saw a familiar face.

He was standing at the door with his face turned sideways, gesticulating, while several servants were running around, busy as a whim.

Haruyuki just stared at him intently.

The driver, Xiao Si, laughed and said, "Sister Chunxue, you are thinking about love!"

"Shut up, I won't take you with me anymore!" Chunxue shouted sternly.

The other two young men also saw the man and whispered, "Sister Chunxue has good taste! That man looks very handsome!"

Haruyuki clenched his fists, digging his nails into his flesh.

The driver, Xiao Si, smiled and said in silence, "This man looks familiar. He looks very much like the brother of Miss Lin."

"Have you seen Lin Xiaoniang's brother? I have also seen the King of Hell!" One of the Xiao Si didn't believe it at all.

"Sister Chunxue is pretty. If she can climb up this high branch, she will be very successful!" another one teased.

"Keep your voices down. They are all nobles. Can we afford to offend them with our status?" Chunxue opened his fist, revealing a row of dark red nail marks on his palm.

She looked back again and saw Lin’s Garment Store written on it.

The carriage entered the Taiwei Mansion from the side door. The main gate was particularly busy at this time. Chunxue saw a few students entering from afar. There would be lectures at Xueshan Hall again today.

While the carriage was unloading, Chunxue picked out a few juicy vegetables and placed them in a wooden frame, then peeked at the door, as if waiting for someone.

The three youngsters were so engrossed in their work that no one noticed the minor details.

Yue Weiwei was still sleeping soundly, so Nanny Li went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast herself.

When she returned to Qingxiang Pavilion with the food box, Yue Weiwei was pulled up by Changle and Qian Yue. Yesterday, Nanny Li had repeatedly warned her not to sleep in anymore.

Yue Weiwei felt aches all over her body. She sat on the bed, opened her eyes and saw the brocade box on the desk. She suddenly became refreshed.

Madam Li said, "This crop of vegetables has just grown, and they are rare. Chunxue left a few for the young lady."

Yue Weiwei became more and more curious about Chunxue. She guessed that Chunxue might have received a favor from Minglu, so she asked Li Ma: "Does Minglu know Chunxue?"

"Young lady has only lived in the Taiwei Mansion for a little over two months. How could she be acquainted with the kitchen servants?"

"This person also has a good eye for people. Once he makes a decision, he will think she is good. Chunxue must have seen the young lady. Our young lady is very smart and has a kind face. Chunxue likes her in her heart." Changle is very good at praising people.

Yue Weiwei chewed the food happily, her mouth tasted delicious and her heart was happy to hear it. Although the compliment was not directed at her, she could not hide her joy.

After dinner, Yue Weiwei sat in front of the desk to design jewelry. She decided to design a pair of unique earrings, then find a skilled craftsman to make them and give them to her third sister.

I have never met Li Hengying, but I have heard a lot of praise for her.

When Minglu moved out of Yuelongyuan, she was able to distinguish right from wrong, judge Li Hengan's schemes, was not superstitious, and had her own opinions.

She is also weak. Does she look like Lin Daiyu?

Yue Weiwei sat for a while, then stood up and walked for a while, playing with the brush in his hand, tapping his forehead, scratching his hair, thinking very seriously.

But Changle, who was standing outside the door, was very anxious. She ran over to close the window from the outside, then went back to the door and came in.

Yue looked at Changle in surprise, not understanding what was going on.

She picked up the small kettle next to the wash basin, poured some water, and brought it to Yue Weiwei and said, "Miss, wash your face quickly!"

"What's wrong?" Yue Weiwei lowered her head and saw the shadow in the washbasin. Although it was swaying, she still saw a few pen and ink marks on the forehead.

Oops! Yue Weiwei grabbed the brush in her hand and put it in front of her eyes. Damn it, how can it be used as a pencil?

While washing her face, Changle suddenly noticed the tear in her skirt and the black ink that had just dripped onto her chest.

She hurriedly helped Yue Weiwei change her clothes.

During lunch, Yue Weiwei was anxious, thinking about the big pear tree in the backyard and how to get rid of Li Ma and others.

She asked, "What kind of food is Madam Li best at?"

Qian Yue smiled and said, "Of course it's stewed pigeon!"

"Wow! I want to eat it."

"Miss, you have been awake for many days and your body is gradually recovering. You can have stewed pigeon today. I will prepare it now. I have to go to the market to buy pigeons first."

I still have to buy it! It's great that I can delay it for a long time! Yue Weiwei was secretly delighted.

"Qian Yue, let's go to the backyard and pick some peach blossoms. You can make peach blossom pastry again!"

"Where's Changle! Go help Nanny Li." Yue Weiwei arranged the people around her one by one.

After dinner, everyone went about their own business. Yue Weiwei took Qian Yue to the backyard to pick peach blossoms. They picked a basketful of peach blossoms that were pink and fragrant.

The two returned to the front yard. Yue Weiwei wanted to take a rest, so she went into the room. Qian Yue carried the basket and went straight to the kitchen to make peach blossom cakes.

Yue Weiwei saw Qian Yue walking away through the window, picked up the strip brocade box on the desk and went out.

At noon, the yard was very quiet. The maids and servants were no longer busy. They deliberately reduced their activities so as not to disturb their master's rest.

Yue Weiwei went straight to the pear tree and climbed up the stump with the ladder. She held the brocade box and looked around cautiously, just wanting to see her senior as soon as possible.

Sure enough, the senior came over along the path, and Yue waved to him.

Luo Zhuangzhou walked to the wall next to the pear tree and stopped. After paying his respects, he was about to ask Yue Weiwei what her status was in the Taiwei Mansion.

Yue Weiwei, who was eager to give a gift, took out the brocade box and handed it to him, saying, "Senior, open it and take a look. Do you like it?"

Luo Zhuangzhou had no choice but to open the brocade box first, and saw a scroll painting. He took it out carefully and opened it slowly, and a jade pendant pattern came into view.

The pattern on the jade pendant was different from any he had seen before, and the asymmetrical shape was rare and very special.

Yue Weiwei asked happily: "Do you like it? Does it look good?"

Luo Zhuangzhou rolled up the scroll, looked up and smiled, and said, "Is this painted by the girl?"

"Why are you saying girl left, girl right? I have a name, Yue Weiwei, so senior, just call me Weiwei!"

Luo Zhuangzhou hesitated for a moment, nodded, and asked: "Miss... um! Weiwei, Taiwei..."

When Yue Weiwei heard the senior calling her name, she clapped her hands happily. It had been a long time since anyone called her name!

"Do you like it, Senior?"

Luo Zhuangzhou's question was interrupted again.

"Very unique." Luo Zhuangzhou didn't know how to talk to this special girl. She seemed to be immersed in her own world and was always talking to herself.
