Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Ji Nuan smiled gently and said, "Hard work is the cornerstone of the road to wealth. Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is so excellent, you will definitely earn more in the future."

The second sister-in-law was deeply moved. She held Ji Nuan's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Nuan Nuan, you deserve most of the credit for making money. You designed the patterns for these clothes and negotiated the prices. You deserve a share of the money I make. I've made up my mind. I'll give you half. Please don't think it's too little. Besides, my parents are so good to us that I can make clothes at home with peace of mind. I also want to give them a share to show my filial piety."

"Second sister-in-law, you should honor your parents, but you really don't have to share it with me. I have plenty of money, you know."

The second sister-in-law insisted on her own opinion. She looked at Ji Nuan seriously and said, "Nuannuan, how can this be? Although we are sister-in-law, we still have to settle accounts clearly when it comes to money. You have done a great contribution by drawing these clothing patterns for me. I can't let you pay in vain. Besides, I will need you to help me draw more patterns in the future. So, you have to accept this money no matter what."

Seeing her second sister-in-law like this, Ji Nuan was worried that she would think too much if she didn't accept it, so she redistributed it and said, "You made all the clothes, so you can keep half, give 30% to your parents, and I will take the remaining 20%. Without your craftsmanship, I can't make them even if I draw them."

The second sister-in-law's eyes were red. She must have done something great in her past life to have met such a good sister-in-law. "Nuannuan, don't say that. There aren't many people who can draw new styles, but there are many skilled embroiderers. I know you're saying that to make me feel better."

Seeing that the second sister-in-law wanted to say something more, Ji Nuan quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Go to the intersection to get the carriage from the third brother and go home with him. I still have to go to Manager Song's place."

Seeing this, the second sister-in-law no longer insisted. She nodded and instructed: "Then be careful and come back early this afternoon."

Ji Nuan smiled and said "OK", then watched her second sister-in-law leave.

The entrance of Wutong Lane.

Song Jinbai was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, standing there quietly, as if he was an extension of the long alley, or a gentle and jade-like young man walking slowly out of an ink painting.

When Ji Nuan arrived, she saw this scene and asked in surprise, "Are you here...waiting for me?"

Song Jinbai imitated Ji Nuan and raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he answered naturally: "What else? Let's go, I'll go with you."

Ji Nuan looked at him, and then looked at him again.

Noticing her strangeness, Song Jinbai smiled gently and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong with me?"

Is there any danger for her to go and treat patients and save people? Why does she need him to wait here specifically?

Ji Nuan shook her head, "Nothing, let's go."

In Jun Xianlan's yard, Mo Cong had already asked someone to prepare a medicinal bath.

When Song Jinbai and Ji Nuan arrived, Doctor Chen was already there.

Jun Xianlan was dressed in a white dress as white as snow. When she saw Song Jinbai standing side by side with Ji Nuan, a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Master Song?"

Song Jinbai was not surprised at all that Jun Xianlan was here. He remained calm with a faint smile on his face.

"Young Master Jun, I hope you are well."

"Do you know each other?" Ji Nuan was surprised that they were old acquaintances.

Jun Xianlan smiled and asked the two to sit down, explaining, "I had the honor of meeting Lord Song when I was in the capital."

"So that's how it is." Ji Nuan nodded, not wasting any more time, "Since Mo Cong is ready, let's get started."

Jun Xianlan said apologetically, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. Sir Song, please sit down for a moment."

"Young Master Jun, don't worry. I will be here with Nuannuan." Song Jinbai deliberately showed the closeness between him and Ji Nuan.

Jun Xianlan glanced at the two of them and then went to the other side of the screen.

"I'll go in with Master Jun."

After experiencing Ji Nuan's teasing of Jun Xianlan yesterday, Doctor Chen volunteered to follow Jun Xianlan behind the screen.

Mo Cong moved quickly and quickly replaced the tea and snacks with new ones and placed them one by one.

Song Jinbai picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he was savoring the flavor of the tea, and as if he was brewing what he was going to say next.

He put down his teacup, turned his gaze to Ji Nuan, and invited her, "Wu Bo asked the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes you like. When you finish your work here, how about going with me to the Song residence for lunch?"

The cooking skills of the chef in Song's kitchen were very much to Ji Nuan's liking. She smiled and agreed, "Then I won't be polite!"

Song Jinbai continued the conversation in a relaxed manner, "Do you have any other plans for the afternoon?"

Ji Nuan frowned slightly, as if thinking about something, "Hmm... there's a housewarming party tomorrow, and I have to prepare some treats in advance."

She was so busy with her own things that she couldn't help with the move.

Song Jinbai couldn't help but chuckle, "You only remembered to prepare these now? I guess my aunt must have already arranged everything long ago." He said it with a hint of sarcasm, but at the same time he was gentle, which made Ji Nuan smile knowingly.

Ji Nuan curled her lips and said in a feigned dissatisfaction, "Then I should also prepare some of my favorite foods! And some nice little gadgets that can decorate the room."

Song Jinbai couldn't help but chuckle at Ji Nuan's adorable appearance. He shook his head gently, a gentle smile on his lips, and replied, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you to prepare it. Whether it's food or fun, as long as it's something you like, I'll help you find it."

Ji Nuan joked, "Song Jinbai, I find that you are really idle! Tell me in secret, are all officials so idle, just waiting for the salary to be paid at the end of the month?" She was obviously teasing Song Jinbai with a bit of playfulness and curiosity.

Song Jinbai sighed in mock resignation, then laughed again, "My senior brother, Cui Jing, you know me, right? He's a young man raised in a century-old family. He's a man of brilliant literary talent and exceptional ability. He was even the top scholar in the imperial examination three years ago. With him by my side helping to share official duties, I can naturally free up some time to do the things I enjoy."

Cui Jingrang: Listen to me and thank you~

Ji Nuan nodded in agreement: "Yeah~ Having a powerful senior brother by my side does make life a lot easier."

She turned to look at Song Jinbai and asked, "Do you really have time to come to my house tomorrow?"

Song Jinbai smiled and nodded, his tone gentle, "Of course, I have already promised my uncle, how can I go back on my word?"

Ji Nuan suggested, "Then you should come earlier. I've made an appointment with Chen Yu to go hunting in the mountains! We can add a dish to the banquet so that everyone can try it."

"Okay! I'll go help you soon."

Just as the two were chatting excitedly, Doctor Chen's voice came from behind the screen: "Miss Ji, it's time for acupuncture."
