In the main house of a house surrounded by a wooden fence, Village Chief Wang was holding a silver ingot and bowing his head to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Master Jin, for your reward! Thank you, Master Jin, for your reward! You can rest assured and stay in this courtyard! You can live however you like!"

Jin Xuerong sat in the main seat and said lazily to the village chief Wang who was bowing his head in front of her,

"Then we won't keep the village chief here. It's raining heavily outside, so you should go home early."

The village chief responded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! I will go back now and not disturb Master Jin's rest."

Jin Xuerong waved to his servant Huaizhi. Seeing this, Huaizhi bowed to him and left with the village chief.

Qing Liu was brewing tea next to Jin Xuerong. After seeing Village Chief Wang leave, he offered Jin Xuerong a cup of hot tea.

"When does the master plan to have Sister Qiao go and inquire about that noble lady?"

Jin Xuerong sat on the armchair that was taken down from the carriage with a charming look on her face. She took the tea offered by Qingliu, raised her eyes and looked at him with an impatient tone.

"Qingliu, are you so anxious? It's raining so hard outside, how can you expect Qiao Er to go out and find out?"

Upon hearing this, Qingliu immediately knelt down and said, "Qingliu has overstepped his bounds. Please forgive me, Master!"

Jin Xuerong watched Qingliu kneel down without any emotion. She elegantly opened the tea lid in her hand, took a deep breath of the tea fragrance, gently pushed aside the tea leaves with the tea lid, and took a slow and leisurely sip.

Qing Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Jin Xuerong not saying a word and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Although his master is willful, he is not someone who likes to punish. He has been kneeling for a while now, but his master has not said anything yet. It seems that he has really annoyed him this time.

At this moment, Huaizhi, who had sent the village chief away, came back and bowed to Jin Xuerong, saying, "Master, Village Chief Wang has returned."

Jin Xuerong placed the teacup on the table beside her and waved her hand proudly.

Huaizhi obediently stood aside. He saw Qingliu kneeling on the ground. Although he was a little curious about what Qingliu had done to annoy his master, he did not show it. His master was obviously in a bad mood at the moment, so he decided not to bump into him.

At this time, Qiao Da strode in from the door with a breath of rain, bowed and said,

"Sir, Qiao Er has gone out to inquire about the situation in the village. Qiao San and Qiao Si have unloaded your frequently used items from the carriage and have placed them in the east room. Do you think we should ask Qingliu or Huaizhi to sort them out?"

Jin Xuerong brought four servants, two waiters, and two luxurious carriages with her when she went out to relax this time. The main point was that she would not let herself be wronged.

Qiao Da, Qiao Er, Qiao San, and Qiao Si were his servants. The four of them were sisters. There was also Qiao Wu, who was in Cangzhou and did not come with him.

There were two servants, one named Qingliu and the other Huaizhi. Qingliu was his servant in Zuiyue Tower. Jin Xuerong redeemed him. Huaizhi was the beloved younger brother of the five sisters of the Qiao family.

The two luxurious carriages were filled to the brim with his daily necessities.

After hearing Qiao Da's well-organized arrangements, Jin Xuerong said to Qing Liu who was kneeling on the ground,

"Qingliu, go to the east room and sort out your things."

When Qingliu heard this, he was overjoyed. He didn't know whether he was happy that Qiao Er went out to find out the news, or that his master spared him the punishment of kneeling.

Qingliu got up from the ground and said happily, "Yes! Then I will go and clean the room for the master first."

Huaizhi looked at Qingliu who was almost trotting with joy, and asked his master in confusion,

"Master, isn't Brother Qingliu too happy?"

Jin Xuerong sneered when she heard Huaizhi's words.

"Who knows? Your brother Qingliu just saw a very beautiful lady at the village entrance. I think his soul has run away with her."

When Huaizhi heard this, he said angrily, "How could Qingliu do this! The master redeemed him from the brothel, and instead of concentrating on serving the master, he is thinking about all this nonsense!"

Jin Xuerong leaned her arm on the armrest of the chair, supported her chin with her hand, looked at Huaizhi, and said teasingly,

"Did you see that noble lady in the carriage behind? Qingliu said she was completely mesmerized by her gaze. What about you?"

Huaizhi saw Jin Xuerong teasing him and said with a red face,

"Huaizhi was inside the carriage, I didn't see him."

After hearing Huaizhi's answer, Jin Xuerong immediately lost interest.

"That's right. Your sister is driving outside. How could she bear to let you sit outside in the wind?"

Seeing Jin Xuerong looking listless, Huaizhi asked with concern,

"Master, don't worry. My second sister has already gone to inquire about it. You will know the news about that noble lady soon."

Jin Xuerong saw Huaizhi was nervous about him and waved her hand.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. But you should hurry up and learn how to make tea from your brother Qingliu. Although your brother Qingliu has a lot of thoughts, his tea-making skills are really good."

Huaizhi said ashamedly, "Yes, I will try my best!"

Jin Xuerong slowly stood up and walked towards the door. Huaizhi took his outer robe and followed.

Jin Xuerong stood at the door, looking at the rain outside, which was dripping and making the colors of the sky and the earth darker.

When Huaizhi saw Jin Xuerong standing at the door, he immediately put his outer robe on him.

Jin Xuerong looked towards the east room through the rain curtain and saw Qingliu happily spreading the mattress on the couch. She clicked her tongue impatiently.

Jin Xuerong looked at the rain all over the sky, stretched out her slender white fingers, felt the coolness of the spring rain, and pondered in her heart,

"I'll send Qingliu away when I get back!"

Seeing Jin Xuerong stretching out her hands to catch the rain, Huaizhi took out a handkerchief from her bosom and said,

"Master, the rain is still too cold now, please don't keep it up."

Jin Xuerong looked at Huaizhi who was worried, took back the hand that was holding the rain, and handed it to Huaizhi with a light shake.

Huaizhi took the hand that Jin Xuerong handed to him and wiped it carefully, not missing a drop of rain.

Jin Xuerong looked at Huaizhi who bent down to wipe his hands carefully. He was not as pretty as Qingliu, and the tea he made was not as delicious as Qingliu, but he cared about him more than Qingliu and knew his limits better than Qingliu.

"Qingliu, oh Qingliu, I really indulged you too much. Perhaps I shouldn't have redeemed you."

Seeing that Qingliu had almost finished cleaning up, Jin Xuerong said,

"Let's go to the east room and take a rest."

When he heard Jin Xuerong say that she wanted to go out, Qiao Da immediately opened a huge oil-paper umbrella and walked into the rain. Huaizhi helped Jin Xue walk under the umbrella, and Qiao Da held the umbrella for the two of them and walked towards the east room.

Spring rain is as precious as oil, but this rain stopped after only one morning.

When Village Chief Wang called Su Yu to have lunch, the sky gradually cleared up.

At the dinner table, Su Yu could clearly sense Village Chief Wang's good mood and couldn't help but ask curiously,

"What good thing happened to the village chief?"

Village Chief Wang was already in a good mood, and after seeing Su Yu's beauty, he became even happier.

"Today, a nobleman came to stay in our village. He was so generous that he gave me one or two taels of silver ingots for one night in this shabby house of our village! That's one or two taels of silver! This is the first time I've seen a silver ingot!"

Liu Shuang said excitedly, "This is the first time I've seen silver too!"

Liu Yu also smiled, "Yes, our family is really lucky this year!"

Seeing how happy Village Chief Wang's family was because of the silver, Su Yu paused while picking up the food.

She had also stayed here for one night, but she hadn't paid a cent yet...
