Although Long Jinyan was once a powerful and invincible general.

But now, like a child, he stood there dumbfounded, with only one thought in his mind: to open his mouth.

Fang Xiaoxiao held the osmanthus cake and reached out to offer it to his wide-open mouth.

Her actions made the three people sitting at the stone table so angry that their teeth were grinding.

Pei Yan snorted coldly and said to the two people beside him.

"Look at this behavior! It's so improper! Where is the demeanor of a lady from a respectable family? It's utterly shameless!"

“Brother Pei is absolutely right. We despise such pretentious behavior and should speak out to stop it.”

"Brothers, I'd like to eat too."

"..."

He Jinnian rolled her eyes at Murong Changqing beside her.

This guy only knows how to eat all day and has no sense of crisis.

Long Jinyan is currently receiving a lot of attention from Fang Xiaoxiao. If they don't take some action soon, they will definitely fall out of favor.

He didn't want to leave this place too soon, and he had finally found a place to hide his identity.

He Jinnian glanced at Pei Yan beside him, wanting to ask him what he thought.

To everyone's surprise, Pei Yan seemed completely unconcerned, even leisurely sipping the unknown tea leaves in his hand.

The tea is extremely bitter at first taste, but has a slightly sweet aftertaste.

He had once lived a life of luxury and had tasted many famous teas, but none had captured the flavor of the tea in his hand.

……

Fang Xiaoxiao distributed all the osmanthus cakes in her hand to Long Jinyan.

She wanted everyone to know that only by working could one earn good food.

This is a three-birds-with-one-stone strategy that has never failed.

Long Jinyan was happy, but he stuffed the pastries back into his wife's hands.

"My wife, I'll just have one piece of this pastry. You can keep the rest for yourself and enjoy it."

"No, I said I'd give it all to you, so I'll give it all to you."

Fang Xiaoxiao shook her head and refused to accept it. Once something is given away, it's like spilled water; how can it be taken back?

"Work hard, Jin Yan. When I make a lot of money, I'll sell myself into new clothes."

New clothes are a luxury for poor people.

There's no way to buy new clothes all year round.

Even landlords could only buy cloth to make new clothes during the New Year.

Long Jinyan knew all this. Although he was a great general, five or six years had passed in the blink of an eye since he put on that military uniform.

His clothes were all purchased three years ago.

Later, due to the emperor's suspicion, he plotted to poison himself.

I realize that I've been wearing this outfit for more than half a year now, and it's already riddled with holes. Fortunately, I'm able to sew and mend it myself.

This way, one can see reasonably well in front of them, and it serves to conceal the body to some extent.

Fang Xiaoxiao just mentioned buying new clothes, and then she saw that Long Jinyan was wearing a patched, tattered, coarse gray linen long gown.

“Here’s what you do: rebuild the stove. If you do a good job, your wife and I will go to the street tomorrow and sell the pills.”

"I'll go and get some fabric, and make you a new set of clothes!"

She spoke loudly, deliberately, so that the lazy men would hear her.

Each of them spent five taels of silver plus five hundred coins, only to find them useless when brought home. No one would be particularly happy about that.

What's the use of being handsome? Can you eat it?

If she hadn't made that careless promise to take seven gigolos at once, she wouldn't have brought them home.

Looking around, the dilapidated little tile-roofed houses looked so desolate.

Having transmigrated here, I haven't even been a wealthy wife for a day before I'm already becoming a haggard housewife.

She felt somewhat resentful, and what was even more hateful was that Pei Yan wanted to kill her.

I need to think of a way to get rid of him.

And at the same time.

The three people sitting at the stone table looked at each other.

They all heard that Fang Xiaoxiao was going to buy new clothes for Long Jinyan tomorrow.

He Jinnian spoke up.

"I think I should do some work; maybe I can earn a new set of clothes that way."

"You're spineless. It's just a piece of clothing, you..."

Pei Yan wanted to say that he, the Crown Prince, would never look at such trash, but he realized his current status before he could finish speaking.

He was originally the Crown Prince of the Great Yu Dynasty, but he was framed by treacherous people and had to find a place to hide.

However, by sheer chance, while fleeing from pursuers, he was captured by a group of constables who then forced him to go on a blind date.

He Jinnian glanced at the other person sideways.

"What?"

Pei Yan immediately added.

"It's a good thing in the first place, and we should do our part to help our wives with some of the housework."

"Forehead!"

Murong Changqing wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and said solemnly.

“That’s right, I will take the first step.”

As he spoke, he turned around and ran over to Fang Xiaoxiao's side. Although his expression was also cold, he still took the initiative to bend down and pick up the wood-chopping knife from the ground.

He looked like he was about to chop wood.

Fang Xiaoxiao pointed to the neatly stacked firewood piles in the courtyard.

"Stop pretending. If you really want to help, clean the yard."

Upon seeing this, He Jinnian ignored Pei Yan and hurried towards the inner room.

Pei Yan, of course, wouldn't fall behind. He spotted the pots and pans on the stove, rolled up his sleeves, and got to work.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaoxiao smiled smugly and turned back to the small hut next to the firewood in the courtyard.

The small hut was a place she had specially cleaned yesterday, a workspace for grinding and making pills.

After closing the door, she finally had time to get on with her work.

You should know that a bottle of pills weighs fifteen ounces, so if two bottles can be made in a day.

Then the food supply for this large family was secured.

The next day it was crisp.

As usual, Fang Xiaoxiao went up the mountain to collect herbs. At noon, she provided the old man with medicine pills to relieve the heat and detoxify, as agreed upon with him.

The mountain is rich in medicinal herbs; she can find what she needs simply by picking them.

After a busy morning, the harvest was quite plentiful.

She then instructed the others to look after the house, and set off for the town.

The sun, as always, shone so brightly that it made people dizzy and even obscured their vision.

I finally made it to the destination I had discussed with the old man, relying on sheer willpower.

But she waited and waited, and the old man never came.

This made her feel a little worried, fearing that the other party would stand her up.

Fortunately, the old man was carrying a gourd of wine and was drinking as he walked toward her.

The old man, slightly tipsy, walked up to her.

"Old man, I'm not talking to you about this. I just passed by the south of the city and smelled the aroma of wine. My stomach started to rumble with cravings."

"This is why I was delayed a little. I hope you will forgive me, young lady."

Fang Xiao glanced at the other party and saw that since they had come, she decided to exchange money for goods.

"These are yesterday's medicines."

The old man took it and examined it carefully.

He felt that something was missing from his body, and he also had questions about the specific name of the pill, so he asked Fang Xiaoxiao all of them at once.
