The grass in the factory should be plucked

Years ago, Jiang Li's new house was finally renovated, and she brought Aunt Lian over from the outer city.

Aunt Lian was her mother's personal maid. She had seen how luxurious the Fang family was in the past. Now that the girl was not short of money, she started to decorate the house with lavish spending.

When Xie Changan finally found time to accompany Jiang Li to see the house, they were both stunned by the brand new look of the house.

As you enter the gate, you will see scenery everywhere, pavilions, terraces, winding corridors, rockery and stone walls, overlapping peaks, with trees or pavilions in between. The small garden creates the effect of mountains and forests at a close distance and changing scenery with every step.

One can imagine how beautiful the scenery of this house will be when spring comes, with pink peach blossoms, green willows, lush grass and flying birds.

The most luxurious thing is the flower garden in the inner courtyard. Large pieces of colored glaze are used on all four sides to allow sunlight to shine into the garden. There is also a heated bed inside, and various exotic flowers and plants are planted. Even in the cold weather, the flowers are still in full bloom and the fragrance is overflowing.

The most outrageous thing is that a hot spring pool was built among the flowers and trees!

"There is no hot spring in this house, so we can only boil water now and add some medicinal herbs that nourish the skin. Auntie will also dry various flower petals for you, which will also have the effect of nourishing the skin."

Jiang Li was so itchy that she took advantage of Aunt Lian not being able to see and pulled Xie Changan's sleeve and acted coquettishly, "Brother Changan, can I stay at home for two days?"

As soon as she started to act coquettishly, Xie Changan couldn't bear to be merciful. Besides, the end of the year was approaching and all the government offices were about to be closed, so he nodded and agreed.

Jiang Li was overjoyed and threw herself into his arms, whispering, "During the Chinese New Year, I will learn from Aunt Lian how to make an undergarment."

"Little Li Nu, you must keep your word." Xie Changan hugged her and smiled softly, "Come to the backyard tonight, I have something for you."

"Okay." Jiang Li was looking forward to it. Was he going to give her a gift?

That night, Jiang Li took a flower petal bath as she wished. She lay in the fragrant pool, and the warm water made her bones soft.

Aunt Lian also made her some fruit tea and placed some colorful cakes by the pool.

Jiang Li had never enjoyed this much when he was a direct disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. He really didn't want to stay in the cold palace for a moment.

No matter how much Master Mingxuan loves her, he is a man after all. He doesn't understand the little interests of girls. How can he be as attentive as Aunt Lian?

After she came out of the bath with a fragrant body, Aunt Lian combed her hair into a bun with a few pearl flowers inserted in it. She then changed into a long moon-white brocade dress with peach blossoms embroidered in pink silk thread extending from the hem of her skirt to her waist, making her look even more radiant and beautiful.

"Our little raccoon is so beautiful. If the young lady were still here, I don't know how happy she would be."

Aunt Lian looked at her and it was as if she saw Fang Yi back then, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Jiang Li was dressed so beautifully that she was so excited to show it to Xie Changan, so she said she was going to the backyard to digest her food and asked Aunt Lian to go and do her thing.

She happily came to the backyard and made three short bird calls. Xie Changan instantly flew down from the top of the wall, as if he had been waiting for her.

It was the first time he saw her dressed up so carefully, and he was stunned for a moment.

When she was in the cold palace, she always wore dirty clothes and her hair was tied up in a mess. After becoming a secret guard, she usually wore a black nightgown and a mask. When had anyone ever seen her look so beautiful after dressing up?

Jiang Li felt a little shy at his fiery gaze and asked in a low voice, "Does it look good?"

He gently held her in his arms and whispered, "She's beautiful! My little raccoon is prettier than the fairies in the sky."

Jiang Li looked up happily: "What are you going to give me?"

Xie Changan smiled and handed her an exquisite brocade box: "This is the first time I buy these, I wonder if you like them."

Jiang Li opened it and saw a pair of jade bracelets with excellent water content and a jade hairpin of the same style.

"So beautiful!" Jiang Li's eyes were filled with joy. "I like it, I like it so much!"

"I'll put it on for you."

Xie Changan took out the jade hairpin and clumsily inserted it into her hair bun.

It was the first time he put a hair accessory on a woman and he almost poked her scalp, causing Jiang Li to complain.

He then put the pair of jade bracelets on her fair wrists. The clear jasper color matched her snow-white and slender wrists, making them beautiful beyond words.

Jiang Li played with the jade bracelet for a long time before reluctantly taking it off and putting it back into the box.

"Don't let Aunt Lian see it." Otherwise she won't be able to explain!

"If you like it, I'll buy it for you later, so you can change a few sets a day." Xie Changan said with a smile, "What other young ladies have, my little slave Li should also have."

"Then I'm just a jewelry stand, right?" Jiang Li chuckled, "I'm also impatient to wear so many, wouldn't it be tiring to have so many jingles?"

At this time, she heard Aunt Lian coming to look for her, "Miss, where are you? It's time to go to bed."

Xie Changan quickly kissed her on the face, then reluctantly let her go, "Go back."

Jiang Li's face turned red as blood, and she went back dizzy, only feeling the heat on the side of her face that he had kissed.

Jiang Li stayed at home for two days. Every day he stayed in the flower garden with fragrant flowers, basking in the sun, drinking sweet fruit tea, and was so lazy that he didn't even want to move his fingers.

Early in the morning of the third day, Xie Changan came to pick her up. Jiang Li climbed into the carriage with a sigh, and under the reluctant gaze of Aunt Lian, she returned to the desolate and dilapidated cold palace.

Yin Jiu had been guarding her here for two days. When he saw her, he said with resentment on his face, "Little Sixteen, you are free and easy. I have been here, being watched by your rats and cats for two days. I was so scared that I dared not sleep at night!"

As soon as you open your eyes, there will be a row of green eyes staring at you. It’s lucky you’re not scared crazy.

Jiang Li said with a smile: "Brother Yinjiu, can you come out for the New Year? Come to my house and play, my house is very well built!"

She focused on describing to Yinjiu the flower garden in her home, and how the flowers were still in full bloom in winter. Even though the wind was howling outside, she could still drink fruit tea and soak in hot springs in the flower garden with a kang. It was simply a heavenly life!

Yin Jiu was envious and jealous: "Go, I must go!"

No wonder Xiao Shiliu didn't want to be a queen in the palace. There were not many queens in the palace who were as happy as her.

The end of the year is approaching, and Nangong Qinghe also wants to send a holiday gift to Jiang Li. He had no place to send it before, but now he can send it to Longmen Trading Company.

As a result, Longmen Trading Company received gift lists from King Jin every few days, which included everything from food, daily necessities and clothing to jewelry, head ornaments, rare treasures and antiques.

Jiang Li was very troubled. Nangong Qinghe had given her too much and she couldn’t afford it back!

So, she asked Manager Liu to convert these things into silver, exchange them for silver notes, and hand them over to Li's Company to be sent back. She also warned Nangong Qinghe not to have too close dealings with Longmen Company to avoid being discovered about their relationship.

After all, as the boss of Longmen, she has many people in Dongchang who know the inside story.

Nangong Qinghe felt extremely disappointed when he received the silver note that Jiang Li sent back at a discount.

Ah Li refused to accept the jewelry, head ornaments, clothes and treasures he gave her. Didn't she understand his feelings?

On impulse, he wanted to write her a letter to express his feelings.
