Chapter 20 Catching the Goose
Shu Ran said: I'm glad I did it early. I didn't want to spend too much money. I just wanted to have some peace and quiet for a few days. I didn't want to provoke people into doing something desperate.
The food she had stocked up in the main kitchen storeroom several times, plus what she had bought before, was enough for Shu Ran's current appetite to last for three years. In addition, there were several thousand bottles of nutrient solution, so Shu Ran was no longer in a hurry to go out and stock up on things.
For a whole month, Qian Chengji was running around trying to get his family's house and land deeds renewed.
The thick stack of deeds that Shu Ran took from the secret room earlier contained most of the Qian family's shops, land, and houses. Although she didn't have much use for them, she was happy to cause trouble for Qian Chengji.
She was almost hypnotized, so can't she get a little revenge?
With no one to bother her, Shu Ran was extremely comfortable.
Eating the delicious food that Chef Guo carefully prepared every day, Shu Ran's thin face became visibly rounder, and she also grew taller.
"Miss, your clothes from last year are all too small. Would you like to have a tailor come and make some new ones?"
As the weather gets colder, Cuizhi puts away Shuran's summer clothes and puts out last autumn and winter clothes in the wardrobe.
"Then just like every year, tell the housekeeper later!" Shu Ran swallowed the sticky bird's nest in her mouth and spoke weakly.
Shu Ran was already tired of the taste of the bird's nest, which she was eating bite by bite. However, there were still many tonics left in the small kitchen. Master Guo was afraid that no one would make bird's nest for Shu Ran after she left, so the bird's nest she used to eat every three days had recently become every day.
After rinsing her mouth, Shu Ran went to the study as usual. She didn't want to read "Qing Nang Shu" for the time being; the traditional characters gave her a headache, and the other books in the study were too serious for her interest.
I could only browse through the books I'd collected from Shu Ying's study in my virtual space. There were quite a few novels, mostly romance novels. No wonder she's so love-obsessed. The things she reads are no good; maybe they've damaged her brain. There are classics from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign. Oh, and there are even some banned books!
Shu Ran randomly picked a book, put a proper cover on it, and started reading while making sarcastic comments.
"Miss, I'm back."
Cuizhi knocked on the door and waited obediently at the entrance.
"Come in! What's wrong?"
"The housekeeper said he will arrange for tailor Liu to come to the door tomorrow, just like in previous years, to take the young lady's measurements directly in the courtyard."
"Row!"
Shu Ran lived a leisurely life, with her own kitchen and private accounts, and she rarely went out. There was nothing for her to worry about. When the news of her making clothes got out, it just so happened that it fell into the hands of the third concubine.
Upon hearing the report from the servants, the Third Concubine immediately ordered Bai Ling to summon Liu the tailor to make clothes for the Second Miss.
It's not that it's targeting Shu Ran, well, you could say that!
These feudal concepts of legitimate and illegitimate children never completely disappeared in the Republic of China. The Third Concubine grew up in a feudal environment that was also crazy. She both hated and longed for the status of legitimate wife.
She was single-mindedly determined to become the official wife, which was her own obsession and also for the sake of her child's status. Wouldn't Shu Ran's existence be an obstacle in her way?
The next day, after Shu Ran finished performing a set of Five Animal Frolics, she changed her clothes.
Instead of going to the study to read novels, I waited in the bedroom for the tailor to come and take my measurements.
Seeing Cuizhi walk in from the doorway with a slightly indignant expression on her face, Shuran sensed that something must have happened.
Shu Ran sat down at the table and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The housekeeper told us to wait a few days or find someone else. When I went there, I ran into Bai Ling, who was serving the third concubine, who specifically asked Liu the tailor to make clothes for the second young lady. She couldn't spare the time to take over the young lady's work for the time being."
"Third Concubine is really something. Second Miss doesn't like Tailor Liu's style, and in previous years she always used Tailor Feng. This year she suddenly switched. In previous years, all of Miss's clothes were made by Tailor Liu, so why isn't it working this year?"
"Hmm, never mind then, let's go find another tailor!"
Shu Ran didn't care. It's just clothes; it doesn't matter who makes them. She had never worn anything custom-made in her past life!
Several experienced tailors were approached, but none were available. It turned out that the third concubine had taken over all the jobs, leaving only a young, relatively unknown tailor to take on the work.
Shu Ran didn't understand. It was just a piece of clothing. There was no point in the Third Concubine making things difficult for her!
I couldn't get angry at all; I even felt like laughing.
Cuizhi was furious and made several trips, but Shuran also gave her a lot of money for her trouble.
When Shu Ran put on her newly made winter clothes, it was almost November, and she didn't feel any difference.
Cuizhi spoke eloquently, saying things like the stitches weren't tight enough, and it didn't look as good as before, implying that she could do it herself.
Leaning back on the chaise lounge, I opened the window and let in the three cats who were putting on a "burning winter" show outside.
After getting to know each other, the cat enters the house with a particularly confident attitude.
Stroking the smooth, long fur of the three-flowered fish, Shu Ran happily pulled out a plate of dried fish that she had specially asked Chef Guo to make. There were hardly any seasonings, not even much salt, but it tasted crispy and fragrant with no fishy smell.
It's fine for humans to eat, and it's also fine for feeding cats.
Anyway, the three of them really like it.
Sanhua rubbed her cat head against Shuran's hand, cooing sweetly.
The orange tabby cat couldn't help but meow loudly, "Meow~ Gah~"
Awkwardly, hands tucked inside.
Only the muscular little fox gently pawed at Shu Ran's arm with its paw pads.
Shu Ran stopped teasing them and fairly gave each of the three cats a small dried fish.
After feeding them enough, the three obediently jumped down and lay down on their respective mats, snoring away as they fell asleep.
The materials were provided by Shu Ran, from the warehouse. The cushions were made by Cui Zhi as a practice piece, and the three of them really like them.
Turning her head to look at the golden fallen leaves covering the yard, Shu Ran felt a little dazed. She had been here for almost a year and wondered how her family was doing.
Late autumn and early winter always evoke a sense of melancholy.
Shu Ran glanced at the time; three hours had passed. She quickly pulled herself out of her thoughts.
The game refreshed again, and this time she was determined to avenge her previous defeat.
On November 1st, Shu Ran drew a new cheat.
Game-related cheat: Goose Catcher.
Introduction: A cheat system derived from Blue Star Games. Once you catch a goose, it's all yours! Children in the Kepler Galaxy use it to train their mental strength. We hope you can persist a little longer, much longer! Lots of benefits! It refreshes every three hours, with three chances per day. Please make the most of your time.
She used to play this game a lot in her past life. When she first started playing, she didn't know she could flip the pot, so she could never catch it.
After learning how to flip the wok, Shu Ran became incredibly successful, catching goose eggs every time and collecting over a hundred, nearly two hundred different kinds.
Concentrating intently on the interface displayed in the book in front of her, Shu Ran began her second goose-catching activity of the day.
